I was a princess in ancient times

The king of Qinghe County suddenly became violent, "Do you know how to deal with the crime of deceiving the emperor?"

The inner eunuch shivered in fright, and said with a sob, "According to what Aunt Xia said, Princess Anwu will gradually change back to her original gender from the age of 16. Your Majesty can find out if Aunt Xia is lying if she asks someone to check. "

"Check?" Emperor Changping grasped the key point, his eyes flicked across Ji Xinxue's dark head, and fell on the clan and courtiers, as if he was hesitating who to ask to check.

Princess Qinghe sensed Emperor Changping's gaze, and motioned to the people beside her to help her up, "Whether the Aunt Xia he said is true or not, this should not be blamed on An Wu. I just saw An Wu was so shocked that he put the teacup It's better to let someone take him down to change clothes first, so as not to catch a cold."

Emperor Changping nodded, and silently watched Princess Qinghe ordered his confidant to take Ji Xinxue, who kept her head down, out of the hall.

While waiting for the result, Prince Qinghe County asked the internal supervisor several questions one after another.

For example, why Aunt Xia was able to obtain the prescription of the fairy and the specific content of the prescription... How Aunt Xia cheated the world back then and let Mrs. Zhong take the medicine of the fairy.

As if to dig out all the details of what happened back then.

At the beginning, the inner eunuch was still able to hem and haw to answer the questions of Prince Qinghe County.

The fairy's prescription was not in Aunt Xia's hands at the beginning, because all those who were lucky enough to gain the trust of the fairy before were disgusted by the new emperor, and were either executed or imprisoned, and the prescription was transferred to Aunt Xia's hands.

As the questions of Prince Qinghe County became more and more tricky, the answers given by the internal eunuch gradually became unified.

Aunt Xia's suicide note did not include a prescription, so he didn't know the specific content of the prescription.

Aunt Xia's suicide note only stated that it was because of her greedy and lazy cousin that she was able to successfully exchange Ms. Zhong's pregnancy-preserving medicine, without specifying the details.

Aunt Xia's suicide note...

In short, he has told everything he knows.

But Aunt Xia didn't write down anything that he didn't mention in his suicide note, and he didn't know about it either.

Hearing the words beginning with "Aunt Xia's suicide note" again, Prince Qinghe interrupted the eunuch's explanation impatiently, "Where is Aunt Xia's suicide note?"

The inner eunuch suddenly raised his head and looked at Prince Qinghe, his trembling lips lost all color, and his voice became blurred and weak, no longer as clear as before.

"Aunt Xia's suicide note?" His hands touched from his chest to his cuffs, and then along his waist to his boots. The panic on his face became more and more intense, "I, no, I put the suicide note on... ah!"

The eunuch's blank eyes suddenly recovered, "I was in a hurry to tell His Majesty about this, and I didn't care about the suicide note, which is still in Aunt Xia's room!"

Jing Zhe bowed to the emperor Changping and went to pick up the suicide note in person.

The confidant of Princess Qinghe County met Jing Zhe at the entrance of the main hall, and she took the initiative to stop and let Jing Zhe pass first.With all eyes on her, she walked to the inner eunuch and knelt down, the tension on her face almost turned into reality, "An Wu... His Highness was not burned, I made my own decision and asked the palace servants to find the old man of King Ling." Clothes for Your Highness."

Before the words were finished, several heavy breathing sounds immediately sounded in the silent hall.

Princes and princesses without titles are called His Highness, which is the usual address in the previous dynasty.

In this dynasty, no matter whether the princess has a title or not, she will be called a princess.

For example, those who are close to Princess Huaian and Princess Baoding will only call them princesses, and will not call them with titles every time.

Seventh princess, eighth princess and tenth princess are also princesses.

The prince who has a title is directly called by the title.

The prince without a title is called His Royal Highness or directly by ranking.For example, the Ninth Prince, although he has been adopted by King Shu, there are still people in the Empress Dowager Su's palace who call him the Ninth Prince, and Concubine Su has never been dissatisfied because of this.

Even the courtiers and their family members can understand the truth, and it is even more impossible for the confidant of the wife of the clan patriarch to not know.

The confidante of Princess Qinghe County most likely called His Highness because she didn't know how to address Princess Anwu.

What's more, the confidant of Princess Qinghe not only called Princess Anwu "Your Highness", but also specifically asked the palace servants to find King Ling's old clothes for Princess Anwu.

King Ling and Princess Anwu did not leave the palace to open their residences, and there was almost no difference between the distance from Anfu Palace to their bedroom.

Not to mention the princess, as long as the family is a little better off, the girl will not let the girl wear her brother's old clothes.

The confidant of Princess Qinghe County has already euphemistically told everyone the gender of Princess Anwu in just two sentences.

Just the right amount of surprise appeared in the eyes of Prince Qinghe County, and he took the initiative to say to Emperor Changping, "I'll go and see Xiao Wu."

Emperor Changping's brows were full of hesitation, and after a long while, he said in a hoarse voice, "Please trouble uncle."

Prince Qinghe shook his head and walked straight out of the hall.

The hall once again fell into an unspeakable silence.

Emperor Changping slowly closed his eyes, as if he was distressed by the sudden change, and also as if he was exhausted physically and mentally and no longer cared about his birthday.

Empress Dowager Su and Concubine Su just raised their handkerchiefs to wipe away their tears from time to time, completely ignoring the movements of the courtiers and their families below.

Zhang Siyi was sitting upright, her eyes fixed on the round fan left by Ji Xinxue.I don't know how many times I regret that I didn't report my illness today.

Not only the Zhang family not far away looked at him from time to time, wanting to get more information from him.

The many old foxes sitting in the front also looked at Zhang Siyi and Yan Meng who were sitting in the chair of Lord Anwu from time to time, trying to make some judgments based on their performance.

Even if the prince of Qinghe County has not returned yet, the courtiers can be sure.

Princess Anwu is the prince.

The courtiers repeated this sentence silently in their hearts, and the regret and remorse in their eyes became more and more intense.

If they heard the news in Yanguang Dynasty, they could blackmail King Jia if they advance, and ask Emperor Yanguang for reward if they retreated.

When Emperor Changping had just ascended the throne and was not yet firmly seated on the throne, this secret could even threaten Emperor Changping's throne, wealth and life.

pity……

It is now the eighth year of Changping.

Before Prince Qinghe's son came back, Jing Zhe, who went to find Aunt Xia's suicide note, returned to the main hall out of breath.

"The person who collected Aunt Xia's body didn't pay attention to the suicide note that fell on the ground. When I found it, the suicide note was already soaked in sewage, and the handwriting could no longer be distinguished."

While answering, Jing Zhe held up the letter paper that was limp in his hand.

Before Emperor Changping and his courtiers had time to react, Prince Qinghe's son strode into the palace.

He ignored his gaze, stopped directly beside Emperor Changping, leaned into Emperor Changping's ear and said, "An Wu is outside, he wants to hear the news of the great victory in northern Xinjiang with his own ears."

The anticipation mixed with resistance in Emperor Changping's eyes suddenly froze, and he simply looked at Prince Qinghe Prince blankly.

Seeing that Emperor Changping refused to respond, Prince Qinghe County urged, "How great is the victory in Northern Xinjiang? Are Fenglang and Jingyu injured? How is Ah Buhan Bing?"

Emperor Changping sneered and pushed Prince Qinghe away, and when he got up to face the courtiers, the sneer on his lips had turned into anger.

He pointed to the inner prison road kneeling in the center of the hall, "Put him in the Jinwuwei Prison for careful interrogation, all those involved will not need to be reported to be directly arrested, and the events of the year must be found out within five or three days The ins and outs!"

Mo Yao said yes in a deep voice, just after he took half a step, he saw Princess Xuanwei running towards the inner prison and arresting him personally.

Emperor Changping's anger has not diminished at all because the inner prisoner was taken away.

He looked at all the courtiers in the palace one by one, like a lion who was completely enraged, and his aura became more and more frightening.The courtiers were so frightened that they didn't even dare to look at Emperor Changping for a long time, for fear of attracting Emperor Changping's attention and being used as an outlet for anger.

Originally thought that the inner eunuch who appeared suddenly and the prescriptions secretly left by the so-called Aunt Xia and the Fairy were all courtiers directed and acted by Emperor Changping, but suddenly doubted the original idea.

Could it be... what the inner eunuch said just now is true?

Otherwise, how can it be explained that Princess Anwu has been dressing up as a woman for more than ten years without being seen by anyone, and she still firmly occupies the title of "the most beautiful woman in Chang'an" from the fourth year of Changping to the eighth year of Changping.

When wearing the prince's regular clothes, it is almost exactly the same as the Changping Emperor 20 years ago.

The folk customs of this dynasty are open, and it is not uncommon for women to covet the convenience of traveling in men's clothing.most people even

From head to toe, there are men's clothes and accessories. If you deliberately communicate with men in a man's way, you will be able to see the difference from men in an instant.

Ask yourself, apart from Princess Anwu, there is no one else who can be called indisputable, who can achieve "beautiful and graceful women's clothing, and comfortable and clean men's clothing." '

Therefore, it is difficult for them not to doubt whether the prescription left behind by the fairy really exists.

As Princess Anwu's gender involved more and more inside information, the courtiers were even more reluctant to speak rashly and make a fool of themselves.They all lowered their heads, wishing they could bury their heads under the table.

"Eight hundred miles in northern Xinjiang, hurry up!"

When the atmosphere in the hall was tense to the extreme, there was a sudden roar from outside.

The courtiers who put all their attention on Emperor Changping were startled by the thick voice, and subconsciously turned their heads to look at the entrance of the main hall.

Soldiers in broken armor blew across the hall like a gust of wind, until they were stopped by Mo Yao who was coming up, and then they suddenly knelt down to Emperor Changping, "Your Majesty! Great victory in Northern Xinjiang!"

Just listening to this sentence, the courtiers felt as if they were on the scene in the northern border and felt the joy of finally waiting after being depressed for a long time.

Ji Xinxue quietly appeared at the door with her red eyes rubbed with her hands.

He was too excited to be noticed by the courtiers, so he could only lower his head and stare at his toes, wishing he could prick up his ears like a rabbit, for fear of missing a word.

The anger that could not be vented in Emperor Changping's eyes immediately turned into surprise. He supported the imperial case with both hands, fixed his eyes on the dusty soldiers, "Say!"

"Five days ago, the Turkic and Mohe coalition forces suddenly attacked the Great Wall of Yanzhou, and entered Baichi along the gap in the Great Wall of Yanzhou. Xianglin County King personally led people back to Baichi from the camp of the Chinese army to resist the coalition forces of foreign races. Ten Thousand Alien Alliance!"

Speaking of this, the Guannei army who rushed back to Chang'an to report the news day and night had exhausted their last strength, and could only support their bodies with the hands on their necks, so as not to fall to the ground.

The courtiers were so anxious that they kept urging, and Situ even took the tea in front of him and brought it to the mouth of the Guannei army himself, "Take a break and talk about something important."

Seeing the eyes of the man in his hand go up, and he was about to faint from excitement, Mo Yao silently grabbed Situ with the other hand, preventing Situ from approaching the Guannei army who reported the letter.

After a long time, the Guannei army who reported the letter spoke again in a fit of anger.

"King Ling led the 22 internal troops to Baichi in time to support them, and kept all the alien coalition forces that had crossed the Great Wall in the Yu Dynasty. Together, they killed 8 enemy troops and captured [-]."

The courtiers got up one after another, with undisguised excitement and surprise in the corners of their eyes and brows.

Anyone who has experienced war knows that the so-called great victory has varying degrees of moisture.

Killing three people is said to have killed six people, which can only be called a morale booster, not even a lie about the military situation.

Killing three people is said to kill a hundred people, which is why we set up a maze to deter powerful enemies.

The real casualties on the battlefield are only known to the emperor and a small number of powerful officials.

Only a certain record will never be falsified.

'captive'

These people not only consume food, but also work hard, and can exchange a lot of gold, silver, jewelry and resources from the defeated side.

Eighty thousand prisoners!

At least ten years can be made for the peace and security of northern Xinjiang.

Marquis Dingbei stared at the Guannei army who rushed back to Chang'an to report the news, and asked impatiently, "Is there a strong general who makes the alien race fearful?"

The Guannei Army said without thinking, "Xianglin County King!"

Surprise appeared in the eyes of the generals, "Xianglin County King?"

If they remember correctly, Xianglin County King's skill is only considered among the nobles.

Could it be that he advanced by leaps and bounds in the process of fighting the enemy in northern Xinjiang?

Hearing this, Ji Xinxue could no longer maintain her composure, she suddenly raised her head and looked at the Guannei Army surrounded by courtiers.

A fearsome general?

Compared with how Yu Heng left such an impression in the hearts of the Guannei Army, Ji Xinxue was more concerned about what price Yu Heng had paid for these words.

The soldiers of the Guannei Army turned their heads secretly, and seeing Mo Yao standing beside him like a statue, he didn't intend to stop him, so he followed the courtiers' questions.

"The king of Xianglin County used his body as a bait in Baichi, set up a net and set fire to the alien allied forces!"

"Thanks to Xianglin County King who took the lead and charged forward, we can always keep our morale high!"

……

Ji Xinxue raised her head to look at the sun hanging in the sky, her eyes felt sour due to the strong light.

After so many years, it is still the solid steamed stuffed bun.

As the King of Xianglin County, even if Yu Heng stayed in the safest place and even left Yanzhou before the war, no one would attack Yu Heng for this.

However, Yu Heng not only did not escape, but always rushed to the forefront of defending his home and country, fighting against the Turkic army and the Mohe army.

He might not be the best and kill the most enemies.

But this spirit of leading the way, not avoiding danger, and the morale it brought to the Guannei army is definitely worthy of the title of "violent general".

When he couldn't touch the stuffed vegetable bun, it quietly turned into a steel bun.

Out of the corner of her eye, she felt a shadow suddenly approaching, and Ji Xinxue suddenly regained her senses.

It was Ji Minyan who was full of relief.

She pressed the handkerchief to the corners of Ji Xinxue's eyes, and said with a smile, "If the Turks retreat here, they can come back at the end of the year."

When Ji Xinxue heard this, the tense corners of her mouth eased immediately.

He knew that Ji Minyan had other concerns, so he said in a low voice, "Mohe's troops are mostly in Yanzhou. Within ten days, the Hebei army will surely have success."

Ever since the Mohe army sneaked to the Turkic territory, Mohe handed over the initiative of this melee to the Turks and the Yu Dynasty.

Even if the Turkic army and the Mohe army in the west can defeat the Guannei army, the empty Mohe royal court will have to face the wrath of the Hebei army.

The Turkic and Mohe coalition forces were defeated, and the situation of the Mohe Royal Court will be even more difficult.

Ji Minyan nodded, expectancy suddenly appeared between her brows, "He will be back soon too."

Seeing this, Ji Xinxue felt faint envy in her heart.

Although Abuhanbing is far away from the battlefield in northern Xinjiang, the Ministry of Rites has never stopped planning for Ji Minyan and Abuhanbing's wedding. As long as Abuhanbing returns, the two can get married at any time.

He was about to tease Ji Minyan, but before he could open his mouth, he suddenly heard the Guannei military voice behind him, "With the injury of the county king, I'm afraid..."

Ji Xinxue's expression changed drastically. Before everyone could react, he rushed to the soldiers of the Guannei Army and asked, "What's going on?! Why was he injured? Where was he injured? Is there any danger?"

Why did you say it now?

Under Ji Xinxue's imposing manner, the soldiers of the Guannei Army retreated again and again, their eyes were all dazed.

Who is this person, and why is he wearing the same clothes as the regular uniform of the Soul King.

Could it be King Xiang?

The courtiers were caught off guard when they saw Ji Xinxue, who had changed into the prince's uniform, with even more majesty between his brows. Unavoidably thinking of the secrets he knew before hearing the news of the Northern Xinjiang Great Victory, the joy on his face suddenly became stiff, and his eyes subconsciously fell on Ji Xinxue. Shinxue's neck and chest.

An Wu...Your Highness?

Under Ji Xinxue's questioning, the soldiers of the Guannei Army said in a nasty voice, "I only know that the county king was assassinated during the confrontation between the two armies, and he is recuperating in Baichi. I don't know the specific situation."

Hearing this, Ji Xinxue's tense face did not ease, but her eyes on the soldiers of the Guannei Army became even sharper.

He suppressed the growing anxiety in his heart, and asked in a deep voice, "Huo Yu has always been by Feng Lang's side? Have the rest of the Jinwu guards gone elsewhere?"

Unless Yu Heng's injury is serious and Bai Chi has no suitable medicine, Jin Wuwei will never leave Yu Heng without authorization.

The soldiers of the Guannei Army shook their heads again and again, with shame on their faces, "I don't know."

Disappointment appeared in Ji Xinxue's eyes, and he asked again, "Brother, does the Ling King..."

Before he finished speaking, someone grabbed his arm suddenly, "Your Highness, I will take you to rest."

Ji Xinxue turned her head abruptly.

It is the year of the pine.

Emperor Changping received the news of the great victory in northern Xinjiang before the Guannei army who reported the letter came back.

If the news of Yu Heng's injury and the news of the great victory in Northern Xinjiang came back at the same time, Emperor Changping would definitely know more about the inside story than the soldiers of Guanneidao.

Ji Xinxue nodded, and followed Songnian out of the hall amidst many unidentified gazes.I met another person who shouted "Northern Xinjiang Great Victory" and staggered towards the hall in two steps.

The soft armor on this person is slightly different from the previous ones, presumably it is the neighbor of the Guannei Army, the Hebei Army.

He stopped and turned to look in the direction of the hall.

"Three days ago, the Hebei army took the initiative to attack and swept through the royal court of Mohe. Abuhan Bing captured Ahbuhanzhen and his family alive, and the royal family of Mohe was captured by him."

It was a complete victory over the Guannei Army.

Ji Xinxue's eyes swept over Ji Minyan's face, strode towards a place where no one was around, and stared at Songnian with burning eyes.

"The king of the county was shot by a feather arrow during the assassination. Fortunately, there was an ornament on his chest so he didn't get hurt. However, his lungs were inevitably damaged. He is now recuperating in Baichi." Song Nian immediately told Ji Xinxue everything he knew, and persuaded him. Said, "Don't worry, the injury of the county king is very common, as long as you take good care of it, there will be no future troubles."

Ji Xinxue couldn't rest assured.

He has known Yu Heng for so many years, and Yu Heng suffered the most serious injury when his exposed skin was scratched and oily during hunting.

damaged lungs...

Yu Heng is introverted and best at patience.

Will he endure the pain silently and not tell anyone because the imperial doctor told him that people with internal injuries will suffer?

meeting.

At the beginning of imagining the possible scenes when Yu Heng was recuperating, Ji Xinxue was restless, wishing she could grow wings and fly to Yu Heng's side.

He turned to look at the bustling hall, and suddenly said, "When will brother return to Chang'an?"

In the past two years, Emperor Changping has stated countless times that he will never let him and Ji Jingyu leave Chang'an at the same time.

Only when Ji Jingyu comes back can he accompany Yu Heng to heal his wounds.

Of course, Song Nian would not know about the things that Emperor Changping had not yet decided on. He shook his head and, following Emperor Changping's instructions, told Ji Xinxue the specific process of the Great Victory in Northern Xinjiang.

Ji Jingyu led the reinforcements to Baichi, Yanzhou in time, not only surrounded the Turkic army and the Mohe army in Baichi, but also captured all the Turkic reinforcements who sensed something was wrong and stormed the Great Wall of Yanzhou frantically.

The Mohe royal court had been captured by the Hebei army, and the few Mohe tribes that escaped the Hebei army's pursuit all moved north.

The Guannei army was busy tidying up the battlefield and counting the prisoners, and had no time to attack the Turkic royal court for the time being, but the situation of the Turkic royal court was not at all better than that of the Mohe royal court.

The Turkic army and the Mohe army jointly attacked Yanzhou, which was the final counterattack made by the Turks and Mohe after realizing that they could not defeat the Yu Dynasty.

This battle was successful, they killed King Ling or the King of Xianglin County, and fled after burning, killing and looting in the Yu Dynasty.

There are reasons to laugh at Yu Chao, but also real benefits.

If they were lucky enough to capture King Ling and King Xianglin alive, they might get the cultivated land of the Yu Dynasty forever.

If they failed in this battle, they would have to be soft on Yu Chao, and repeat the life from the second to the sixth year of Changping again, and they may even live worse than the second to the sixth year of Changping.

Even if they don't take the initiative to attack, the war will end without a problem when both sides can't stand it anymore.They will still think that the consumption brought by the war will begin to live like a defeated life.

That being the case, it is better to fight.

Turks and Mohe never thought that the unprecedented annihilation of the entire army in the second year of Changping would happen to them again.

Turks and Mohe, who thought they had already thought through the consequences, did not hold back in the final counterattack, and sent as many troops as they could.

When the entire army is wiped out, both sides will have to pay an unprecedented price.

Mohe was penetrated by the army of Hebei.

The Turks were also regarded as fat because of the emptiness of their troops.

Countless thoughts flashed through Ji Xinxue's mind, and her flustered mind gradually recovered from knowing that Yu Heng was injured.

He grabbed Songnian's palm and wrote five words in sequence.

'It's a remnant of the previous dynasty'

Only the remnants of the previous dynasty broke through Neiwu's line of defense and threatened Yu Heng.

In August last year, the first batch of assassins he met when he went to the imperial mausoleum to worship the ancestors for Emperor Changping were sent by people whose interests he touched.The second batch of assassins that followed gave him exactly the same feeling as the assassins he met in the Hunting Mountain Palace.

At that time, he knew that these people were the secret guards trained by the remnants of the previous dynasty.

In August last year, the remnants of the previous dynasty assassinated him and lost twenty secret guards.

Five days ago, the remnants of the former dynasty killed [-] secret guards because of the assassination of Yu Heng.

As far as Ji Xinxue knew, cultivating dark guards was definitely not something that could be accomplished overnight.

In the dark guard battalion run by Mo Yao, only fifty to one hundred dark guards can pass the examination and enter Neiwu every year.

It takes most people 15 years to leave the Dark Guard.

So far, the people who took the shortest time are Mo Yao and Bai Qianli.

Mo Yao used it for eight years, and Bai Qianli used it for ten years.

From Emperor Qianyuan to Emperor Yanguang, three generations of emperors invested countless manpower, material resources and mental energy to train the dark guards. At least tens of thousands of people came and went in the dark guard camp, and there was only one Mo Yao.

Bai Qianli was favored by Emperor Yanguang with his brains, and got the opportunity to leave the Dark Guard camp early. In terms of skills, he was not even as good as Huo Yu who left the Jinwu Guard in 12 years.

Whether it was the hidden guard who appeared in the Lieshan Palace back then, or the hidden guard who assassinated him and Yu Heng last year and this year respectively, it is impossible to reach the level of Mo Yao or Huo Yu.

It takes 15 years to train them.

It was the 21st year of Yanguang when Ji Xinxue met the assassin in the Lieshan Palace.

These assassins were trained in the sixth year of Yanguang at the latest.

In the seventh and eighth years of Changping, Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng were assassinated respectively.

These two batches of assassins will be trained in the 13th year of Yanguang at the latest.

No matter how you calculate it, the remnants of the previous dynasty who have the ability to send a large number of hidden guards to act as assassins will have a lot of power in their hands.

Ji Xinxue guessed that the people Song Nian said were threatening the Turkic court were the remnants of the previous dynasty.

Song Nian nodded and said softly, "Because the situation in Turkic is far more complicated than that in Mohe, King Ling may stay in northern Xinjiang for another year."

When Ji Xinxue heard this, the corners of her mouth froze immediately because she guessed the situation in northern Xinjiang.

If brother doesn't come back, how will he find Yu Heng?

The news of the great victory in Northern Xinjiang made the atmosphere of Emperor Changping's birthday banquet lively again.

The courtiers tacitly ignored Princess Anwu's gender, and just held a wine glass to congratulate Emperor Changping on his birthday with the great victory in northern Xinjiang.

Ji Xinxue returned to the banquet quietly. Although she didn't have a straight face, she couldn't smile no matter what because she was worried about Yu Heng.

Zhang Siyi saw that everyone around her was smiling, but Ji Xinxue's expression became more and more ugly, so she quickly reminded Ji Xinxue, "Your Highness?"

Emperor Changping's birthday is a happy event, and the victory in Northern Xinjiang is even more a great happy event.

The courtiers did not utter bad words because of Ji Xinxue's gender.

Due to emotion and reason, Ji Xinxue shouldn't be so stern at this time

Ji Xinxue raised her eyelids to look at Zhang Siyi, the fierceness in her eyes increased rather than diminished.

He thought carefully about the conversation with Songnian just now, and realized that he was almost limp.

The remnants of the former dynasty showed their sharp claws to the Turks because of the emptiness of the Turkic royal court, which would indeed complicate the situation in northern Xinjiang.

But what does this have to do with Ji Jingyu?

Not to mention the development of the current situation, the remnants of the previous dynasty and the Turkic royal court will inevitably bite dogs.

Even if the remnants of the previous dynasty united with the Turkic court, the threat to the northern border of the Yu Dynasty was not as good as that of the Turks in the sixth year of Changping.

Under such circumstances, what reason does the 21-year-old eldest son of the emperor, Ji Jingyu, not hurry back to Chang'an to prepare for his wedding, instead of wasting a year in northern Xinjiang?

Unexpectedly, Song Nian with thick eyebrows and big eyes actually...

Zhang Siyi felt weak from Ji Xinxue's sharp eyes, coughed lightly, and said in a low voice, "Don't be too fierce."

The courtiers didn't immediately utter bad words because of Ji Xinxue's gender, absolutely nothing to do with conscience.

Zhang Siyi tried to analyze the courtiers' thinking with the usual teachings of the elders in the family.

First, when she was sure that Ji Xinxue could not be the prince, she saw Ji Xinxue appearing in the prince's uniform, and fell into doubt whether Ji Xinxue was the prince or the prince's daughter.

The courtiers neither dared to offend Emperor Changping easily on Emperor Changping's birthday, nor did they want to be fools when there was fog in front of them, so they kept silent.

Then the inner supervisor suddenly appeared, revealing a deeper inside story.

As Ji Xinxue's accompanying reader, Zhang Siyi not only believed that the eunuch did not lie, but also tried her best to convince all those who did not believe in "Aunt Xia's suicide note" and "the prescription secretly left by the fairy" to believe the eunuch's words.

Because what the internal supervisor said was in Ji Xinxue's interest.

As a prince, Ji Xinxue lived as a princess for 18 years because of the prescription left by the fairy and Aunt Xia who quietly exchanged the anti-fetal medicine for Mrs. Zhong.

This matter has nothing to do with Ji Xinxue, Mrs. Zhong, or anyone in Prince Jia's Mansion.

They don't know anything, let alone feel sorry for the first emperor.

Under the premise that Ji Xinxue was a prince but lived as a princess for 18 years.

If someone doesn't believe in the inner eunuch, Aunt Xia's suicide note and the prescription left by the fairy are suspecting that someone in Prince Jia's residence deceived the emperor and deliberately concealed Ji Xinxue's gender.

Thinking deeply along this line of thought will even shake the image of the "big filial son" that Emperor Changping has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of courtiers and common people.

There is another very important reason.

Emperor Changping acted as if he had just learned that Ji Xinxue was a prince and not a princess, and he didn't clearly tell his courtiers his views on this matter.

Because there are too many uncertain factors, the courtiers will keep silent.

However, this silence will not last long.

A few days at most, half a day at least, the courtiers will definitely think of a way to avoid Emperor Changping and only trouble Ji Xinxue.

Seeing that Ji Xinxue never looked away, Zhang Siyi bit the bullet and reminded again, "There will be a grand meeting tomorrow."

First of all, because of Ji Xinxue's gender, the person who treats Ji Xinxue well must be the one who thinks that Ji Xinxue will threaten Ji Jingyu's status.

Ji Jingyu was victorious in the north, but Ji Xinxue was always sullen after receiving the news.

It will definitely touch the sensitive nerves of many people. Zhang Siyi can already imagine the grand occasion when Ji Xinxue becomes the target of public criticism at the court meeting tomorrow.

"Yeah." Ji Xinxue nodded, understanding flashed in her eyes.

That's right, at the court meeting tomorrow, he can use the power of the court to get Ji Jingyu back to Chang'an as soon as possible.

Although she never thought of competing with Ji Jingyu for the crown prince, Ji Xinxue would never deliberately ignore outsiders' malicious speculation.

In the eyes of those who have put their wealth and lives on Ji Jingyu, the imperial brother who suddenly 'changed from a woman to a man' must be the biggest threat.

He needs to implicitly show his achievements in implementing the New Deal in the court, and these people will try their best to find a way to get Ji Jingyu back to Chang'an.

When Ji Jingyu returns to Chang'an, he can go to Northern Xinjiang to find Yu Heng.

Finally thinking of a way to see Yu Heng as soon as possible, Ji Xinxue's face that had been frozen for a long time immediately warmed up.

Seeing that Ji Xinxue finally stopped keeping a straight face, Zhang Siyi calmly relaxed her tense shoulders and neck.

The next day, Ji Xinxue had the idea of ​​grabbing soldiers from the courtiers who supported Ji Jingyu and charging into battle for him.Not only did she wear the prince's court clothes to appear at the court meeting, but she also deliberately changed seats with Ji Jingrou.

He stood at the place that originally belonged to Ji Jingyu, showing a gentle smile like Ji Jingyu to the courtiers.

Cheng Enhou, who was dawdling as usual, was the first to break the defense and became the first person to eat crabs.

He swears that the eunuch who broke into the birthday banquet yesterday and babbled nonsense was deliberately arranged by Ji Xinxue.Impeach Concubine Zhong Shu and her natal family for deliberately concealing Ji Xinxue's gender to deceive the king.

Emperor Changping looked at Cheng Enhou with an inexplicable expression, and asked calmly, "Ai Qing thinks that I will be deceived by the concubine?"

Cheng Enhou bowed down to Emperor Changping again, and said in a deep voice, "Ms. Zhong's heart is treacherous and scheming, it's okay for Your Majesty not to notice for a while..."

'Snapped'

Cheng Enhou stared straight at the broken inkstone in front of him, his lips opened and closed for a long time without making any sound, and suddenly he shivered, a moist and warm feeling spread from his waist.

Out of the corner of Ji Xinxue's eyes, she saw the water stains around Cheng Enhou, and looked away expressionlessly.

waste.

Ji Minyan took half a step forward with a pretty face, and said coldly, "Marquis Cheng En is immoral after drinking, and even talked nonsense in the court, and lost his manners in front of the imperial court. Please punish him severely for his crimes, and don't let your ministers be imprisoned by him." .”

A tolerant smile suddenly appeared on Emperor Changping's tense face, and he said in a gentle voice, "Yesterday's drunkenness, but today's still not sober, it can be seen that his body is weak. Since these words are not Cheng Enhou's original intention, there is no need to be too harsh on him."

When Ji Jingrou heard this, he immediately gave Ji Mingtong a wink.

It's a pity that Ji Mingtong didn't understand what it meant, and blinked wildly at Ji Jingrou with a blank face.

Ji Jingrou couldn't bear to look directly at him, turned his head away, and took half a step forward, begging the imperial physician to recuperate his body on behalf of Cheng Enhou Chao Changping Emperor.

Emperor Changping immediately promised that he would not only give Marquis Chengen the grace of not having to be tired of political affairs until he recovered his health, but also asked the courtiers not to delay Marquis Chengen's recuperation.

A sneer appeared in Ji Xinxue's eyes.

Apart from acting as a background board in the Great Court, what political affairs can Cheng Enhou have?

With Emperor Changping's words today, it is impossible for anyone to hold a banquet in the house to invite Cheng Enhou again, otherwise he would be disobeying Emperor Changping's order and delay Cheng Enhou's recuperation.

Cheng Enhou, who was the first to eat crabs, "sacrificed" heroically. When the courtiers mentioned Ji Xinxue's gender again, they all skipped the inner prisoner who suddenly appeared at the Changping Emperor's birthday banquet yesterday.

They first expressed sympathy for Ji Xinxue's experience of being a gentleman but being treated as a girl since she was a child. Their sincerity is like a weasel paying a New Year greeting to a chicken, and they even shed tears of distress.

Then, on the grounds that he felt sorry for Ji Xinxue, he persuaded Emperor Changping to block the news, not to let the people discuss this matter, and bring more harm to Ji Xinxue.

The person in charge of Huairou retreated successfully, and the person who spoke uprightly took over immediately.

These people first attribute Ji Xinxue's mistake of being raised as a girl to the late emperor as a gentleman, and expressed in euphemistic words that if the late emperor hadn't been violent, Ji Xinxue would not have been wronged.

However, the first emperor was the first emperor after all.

As Emperor Changping's son and Ji Xinxue's grandson, out of filial piety considerations, no matter what, the late Emperor's reputation should not be damaged.

So I can only continue to wrong Ji Xinxue to live as a princess, to preserve the prestige of the first emperor and the filial name of Emperor Changping.

Ji Xinxue looked at the courtiers with cold eyes and persuaded Emperor Changping to cover up the 'scandal' with affection and reason, so as not to damage the reputation of the late emperor.

Before Emperor Changping said that he would be crowned king, he tried his best to completely cut off the possibility of him being crowned king, and suddenly had an idea.

He walked to the center and silently bowed down to Emperor Changping.

Emperor Changping immediately looked back at the courtiers, and said in a loving tone with surprise, "Xiao Wu? Help him up quickly."

Before Song Nian and Jing Zhe could move, Ji Minyan and Ji Jingrou had strode towards Ji Xinxue.

Ji Xinxue looked down at the flying dragon on Emperor Changping's boots, and said in a deep voice, "Aye, I feel wronged."

"Where is the grievance?" The faint smile on the corner of Emperor Changping's mouth suddenly became real.

It is not in vain that he deliberately concealed the news that Feng Lang had rushed back to Chang'an, and deliberately asked Songnian to tell Ji Xinxue that Ji Jingyu would not return to Chang'an for the time being, which really made Xiao Wu want to "fight for the front".

Ji Xinxue lowered her head to hide the sneer on her face, "All the courtiers said that my son was wronged."

Don't you want to make him feel wronged?

Then pay the price first.

He felt that being a prince was more troublesome than being a princess. It didn't mean that these people could deprive him of being a prince because of their own interests.

"Your Highness's words are wrong." The right servant of the Ministry of Rites looked at Ji Xinxue with loving eyes, and said earnestly, "Although you are wronged, you can preserve the prestige of the late emperor and your majesty's filial piety."

Ji Xinxue looked up at Emperor Changping, "The right servant of the Ministry of Rites also feels wronged."

Sensing the disgusting gazes cast on him by his colleagues, anger appeared in the eyes of the right servant of the Ministry of Rites, and he was about to persuade Ji Xinxue to be lucky if he suffers, when he suddenly felt the scrutiny from his superiors.

The right servant of the Ministry of Rites immediately forgot what he was going to say, and cold sweat instantly appeared on his forehead.

In front of His Majesty, he actually wanted to persuade Princess Anwu to be lucky if she suffers.
