Advise the heroine to be kind every night [Transmigration Book]
Chapter 90: Palace Transformation
How did things become like this?
Liu Ninghuan lay on the straw mat, feeling that everything was too ridiculous.
All her personal belongings were confiscated, including the fake death medicine that Yunjing made for her.The person who searched was Zhao Zhan's subordinates. Liu Ninghuan heard with his own ears that the man put all the things in a basket and said to a person after he left the prison door: "My lord, everything is here."
The "adult" said in a soft voice: "Yes." Liu Ninghuan happened to recognize that it was Qingling.
Liu Ninghuan shouted to the outside of the cell: "Take care of Xiaozhen!"
Up to now, she has a very complicated attitude towards Qingling, she can't believe it, but wants to believe it at the same time.And Xiaozhen...Qingling hinted that she hid Xiaozhen. Although Liu Ninghuan felt that Qingling would not be so low-handed as to do anything to Xiaozhen when she was not around, this sentence was more of a trust.
She hoped that Qingling could protect Xiaozhen and prevent Xiaozhen from being hurt.
Qingling didn't respond to her, but the rhythm of walking was destroyed, and she paused for a moment before continuing to walk outside.Because of that momentary pause, Liu Ninghuan felt strangely relieved. If Qingling heard it, then the matter would be settled.In this regard, Liu Ninghuan trusted Qing Ling quite a bit.
The part about Xiaozhen is relieved, but the other parts are not yet.
Liu Ninghuan turned over, the straw mat was too rough, and the grass stalks pierced her brocade clothes, her body was itchy and slightly painful.
What about Shi Chan?What will happen to Shi Jian?
What about the emperor and queen?Are there any other assassins?
What about Amulu?Have you ever been caught?
How far has it progressed outside?What will happen to me?
Schaub came prepared, but he didn't know who to assassinate.Amulu said that Schaub was jealous when he heard about the preparations for a birthday party, so he broke the plan and sneaked in to kill people.But Liu Ninghuan felt that this was not the case at all.Judging from the few words Liu Ninghuan heard, Shaobu's goal from the beginning was the emperor, and the reason why she was so impulsive seems to be... complaining about her sister?
Now that Schaub is dead, the truth has already passed away with the wind, and no one can ask the wind for an answer.
And it was just an accident that he accidentally killed Schaub.This accident was not recorded in the original book. What's more, the characters on the line of Shaobu, Ao Le, and A Mulu all appeared by themselves.
Liu Ninghuan's own writing is very sloppy and casual, and it is absolutely impossible to set it so carefully.It turned out that after transmigrating in, she found that there were so many twists and turns, which surprised her very much.A person cannot create something beyond himself. If this is really the book he wrote, then there must be someone higher than Liu Ninghuan himself who helped Liu Ninghuan complete these details.
Perhaps in the eyes of this higher being, Liu Ninghuan is the protagonist.
Wait, protagonist...
Thinking of this, Liu Ninghuan immediately sat up from the straw mat.
Qingling is her heroine; Qingling knows that Zhao Zhan doesn't love her but she is still willing to give everything for Zhao Zhan; Qingling uses Princess Pingzhen as a springboard to successfully approach Shi Chan, and also gains Shi Chan's trust and masters a part of it. Qingling was imprisoned for assassinating Shi Chan, and was later pardoned because of the new emperor's accession to the throne——
What about yourself?Are you the heroine described by the "higher being"?
I knew that Qing Ling didn't love me, but I was still willing to be deceived by her. This kind of behavior deviated from reason and was completely controlled by emotions.Are these emotions spontaneous?It's like... In the setting of the scumbag and the humble subject, did Qing Ling fall in love with Zhao Zhan spontaneously?
After directly soul-transmitting Princess Pingzhen and approaching Shi Zhen, he took over the most important real power from Shi Zhen.
Going to jail for the (accidental) assassination himself...
Liu Ninghuan's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly felt a trance that penetrated everything.
Will it be so?Is my life just a drama?
Drama writers don't care who the protagonist is, and they don't care about the details of the story... No, it's not that they don't care, it's just that all the details must be succumbed to the big framework of "inheritance and transformation", so no matter what Liu Ninghuan does, no matter how many "deviations" occur "Original development" is just a confirmation of fate.
fate.
As soon as the word came out, even the smallest things became heavy.
Liu Ninghuan didn't believe this speculation from the bottom of his heart, but still asked silently to the ceiling: Is that so?
"No one can enter without the king's permission!"
"My sister's tent, I can get in if I want!"
"The king is inside, you can't go in!"
"Go away!"
There was a commotion outside the tent, and the curtain was lifted the next moment.Jelle was sitting on the bed, wearing a thick fox fur. He was not in good health, and he had always been dressed as such a weak and sick child, and everyone was used to it.
Jelle coughed twice and said, "Uncle, what are you in such a hurry for?"
The man Jelle called his uncle looked around, but he couldn't find Schaub in the tent.Not only is there no Schaub, but there are no traces of women such as maids.The uncle showed a shocked and angry expression, and said, "Where's my sister?!"
Jelle coughed twice, looked very uncomfortable, and did not speak.
The uncle said again: "Now it is said that she was killed in the capital of Zhao State! It is also said that she left Altai a long time ago. Is this true?! She said that she has been ill for so long, you come in and out, is it just Didn't you notice that she was gone?!"
Because of coughing, Jelle kept covering his mouth with his hands, thus covering all his expressions.When he heard the uncle's last words, he suddenly slapped the table, and the water glasses fell over, and the fresh milk spilled all over the table, and even onto the bed and the floor.
Uncle was taken aback by his gloomy expression, and then heard Jelle say: "We all know what kind of character she is! Could it be that I can control her?! I also want to know if the rumors outside are true!"
The uncle was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized: "What you said is true? She has really left Altai for a long time? And you have been helping her to hide it? Why?"
Jelle said harshly, "I don't know!"
Jelle was so tired of his stupid uncle that he couldn't understand what he said, hints didn't work, and when he noticed something, he just stared at that detail and dug deeper.The question now is when did Schaub leave Altai?Why did I help her hide it?The question now, isn't what to do next?
He also wanted to know, Shaobu said he would go to Zhao Guo to arrange some things, how did he make the arrangements, and then he entered the palace!There are also rumors that he was killed!
Seeing his uncle's anxious expression, Jelle calmed down and asked, "What's going on outside? What's the situation now?"
Uncle said: "Many people said that she went to Zhao country to carry out some secret missions. I didn't expect her whereabouts to be exposed in Zhao country, and she was killed by that so-and-so princess. Now many people want to ask you for a favor." According to the saying, I heard that someone lost his composure and took a small group of troops to attack the city!"
Jelle asked, "Siege?"
The uncle replied: "It's the small town at the border. It was guarded by General Chen before, but he seems to have returned to the capital recently to celebrate their queen's birthday. Their queen is fine, but my sister... if I didn't Knowing how to fight, I can't swallow this breath!"
Just when Jelle was about to say something, there was another commotion outside the tent. Judging from the sound, it was a large group of people.The guards guarding the tents outside were obviously powerless and could not control the angry crowd at all.
Jelle went out and saw the dense crowd.Anger and excitement were written on everyone's face, and they immediately became noisy when they saw Jelle appear.
Jelle gestured for them to be quiet.Then he asked the person who was at the front: "What's wrong?"
The person in the front is a very young boy in the clan.With red eyes, he said: "We will make the Zhao people pay for their blood!"
"Blood debt paid in blood! Blood debt paid in blood!"
Jelle said, "Where is your father, why are you here?"
The young man said: "The goddesses were all killed by them, how can my father sit still! He has already brought his brothers to beat the Zhao people! I want to go too! Please order the assembly!"
"The king please order the assembly!"
The dense crowd all knelt down. Amidst the loud shouts, Yelle knew that the emotions of the people could not be suppressed.
It has come to a point where a war must be fought.
"Okay!" Jelle raised his arms and said, "Everyone listen to my orders!"
……
Border town, Zhao country.
"Captain Zhang! The Altai people are rushing over!"
"Resist with all your might!"
"I can't bear it, Colonel Zhang! Their queen mother is dead, and now she's red-eyed! Before, General Chen was still there, relying on his majesty and deterrence, he could barely hold on. This time, I'm afraid... I'm afraid..."
"Shut up! Don't spoil your prestige with others' ambition! If you can't hold it, you have to hold it! We have sent a letter to General Chen! He will be back soon!"
"Lieutenant Zhang...why is this? Why did the queen mother of the Altaic tribe appear in the palace? Why did Princess Pingzhen kill her so impulsively... Did no one think about the consequences before they did things? Now General Chen still Not here..."
This is also what puzzled Captain Zhang.The Empress Dowager of the Altaic Tribe secretly appeared in our Zhao Kingdom's palace, no matter how you look at it, it has bad intentions.Since the secret work was exposed, it was normal for him to be killed, and Zhao Guo was on the right side.
But if there is national hatred and family hatred first, how can it make sense.There is only one thing in the eyes of the Altai people, and that is that their queen mother was killed in Zhao Guo.How did Shaobu get to the Zhao Palace?for what?The Altai people don't care at all, because hatred fills their eyes and heads, and the reason is the last thing to care about.
Xiaowei Zhang sighed, and said, "Have the common people gone into hiding? Regardless of the cause and effect, we must not allow the common people to be harmed when a fight breaks out! Before General Chen returns, we must persevere as much as we can!"
"Lieutenant Zhang! The tunnel, the tunnel hidden by the common people! It was discovered by the Altai people!" A voice came from a distance, crying blood every word.
……
In the past few days, General Chen's residence has been very busy.
Countless war pigeons flapped their wings and flew over to report to him the situation on the battlefield.In addition, the ministers of the DPRK and China also came to visit one after another, wanting to find out the current situation from him, so as to better choose to stand in line.
Stand in line!At this time, these people are still thinking about power!
General Chen was both angry and helpless. According to the news he had received in the past few days, the border crossing was imminent.Several border towns have already fallen or are about to fall, countless soldiers were killed and injured, and even civilians suffered many casualties.He really wanted to leave the capital and stand with the soldiers and the common people, but the power dispute was like a swamp, and he was stuck in his footsteps.
Why is this so?General Chen found it ridiculous.
Mu Shan stood beside him and said in a low voice, "Master."
General Chen turned his head to look at Mu Shan, and saw the tears in the corner of Mu Shan's eyes.General Chen sighed inwardly, but nothing showed on his face, he just patted Mu Shan on the shoulder silently.
Mu Shan said: "What did the Ninth Prince say? When will you go to the border? Are the food and supplies on the way?"
"Po Yue," General Chen said in a heavy tone, but he still tried his best to enlighten Mu Shan: "It is useless to be anxious. The country is a huge whole, and we are only a part of it. We are not the ones who make the decisions. At this time, We just have to wait."
Mu Shan was silent for a moment, then said firmly again: "No, we can still fight for it."
The emperor appears in the dungeon.
He was dressed plainly, perhaps because he was too exhausted these days, so there was deep fatigue and sadness in his brows, as if he had aged ten years in an instant.
But in comparison, Liu Ninghuan's mental state is quite good.At this moment, she was even sleeping, completely unaware that there was an extra person in the "room".
She lay on her back and did not move for a while.His breathing was steady and his brows were stretched, not at all like a person who was imprisoned.
After an unknown amount of time, Liu Ninghuan slowly opened his eyes, rubbed them, and stretched.This is really sleep till wake up naturally.
After waking up, he saw the emperor sitting in front of him.Liu Ninghuan was stunned for a moment, and said, "Father, when did you come?"
The emperor said: "Ning'er, I didn't expect that you have slept well these few days."
Liu Ninghuan smiled flatly, but in the eyes of the emperor, this smile was a bit hollow.Liu Ninghuan said: "Things have developed to the present, even if I am worried and anxious, it is useless. It is better to have a good sleep and keep healthy."
The emperor asked curiously: "Aren't you worried about your result?"
Liu Ninghuan spread his hands and said: "I'm in prison, what can I do? My cousin and mother will save me. Zhao Zhan must be trying to kill me. The two groups of people are facing each other. It's you who makes the decision." Liu Ning Huan pointed at himself with a finger and said, "And I, just wait."
Ever since Liu Ninghuan came up with that nagging "fate theory" in the cell, her mood has entered a strangely still state.It seems that everything has nothing to do with her, as long as she waits quietly, someone will always give her an ending.
This calm state of mind is different from the passive stress response.Because Liu Ninghuan didn't even feel pain because of this "manipulated fate"... To be honest, this is a very abnormal state, but Liu Ninghuan has no time to care about him at this time.Because the emperor looked at her with complex emotions in his eyes, and it would take a lot of brain capacity to distinguish the composition of these emotions.
The emperor said in a low voice: "You are sleeping in the cell, and the people outside can't rest for a moment. Do you know what kind of chaos the court has become because of you?"
Liu Ninghuan said: "If I hadn't accidentally killed her, then you might have died, and the court would still be in chaos, even worse than it is now. Since my existence and choices can't change the chaos at all, then it can't be said that it's because of me. "
It is very simple to find an excuse for everything. Going back in time, you can always find a thing that "happened before it".But finding the cause of something is not so simple.As far as Liu Ninghuan is concerned, this chaos originated more than 20 years ago, but it was just the cause planted at that time, and now it has borne fruit.
The emperor looked at her probingly, and said, "You seem to have a lot of complaints about me."
The emperor could still see the difference between a sentence with a gun and a stick, and real peace.
Liu Ninghuan paused for a while, and then said: "Probably. Anyway, I'm already in prison, and I have a problem that I really want to clarify. If I offend you...just continue to lock me up."
"Ask," said the emperor.
Liu Ninghuan asked: "Shaobu, her sister, and the queen mother. Among these three people, is there anyone you really loved?"
The emperor is a sensual emperor, from Liu Ninghuan, he has never lost anyone around him.The queen seemed to be accustomed to this situation, completely unable to arouse her mood swings.When the empress had the most emotional ups and downs, perhaps she suspected that she saw Schaub at the birthday party, so she said some personal words to Liu Ning.The thorn in the queen's heart was not that the emperor favored so and so again, but that the emperor had truly loved someone.
The queen's life was unfortunate, and it was natural for her to favor her emotionally.But does the emperor really have a heart?Has he really loved anyone?
Judging from the conversation I heard in the grass that day, it may be Schaub who loves Ao Le more.
For a moment, the emperor's face showed something similar to an expression of embarrassment, and he blurted out: "Bold!"
But then he was stunned again, bold... bold what?Liu Ninghuan is already in prison, but the thing that determines her fate is outside the prison.She asked such a perverse question, and it couldn't make her situation worse; she couldn't speak well, and she couldn't get her out of prison.
The emperor subconsciously thought about the question Liu Ninghuan raised, so he was confused.After a while, he still didn't come up with an answer, so he changed the subject and said, "You're wrong, Zhan'er didn't want to kill you. She asked me...another condition. But..."
The emperor looked at Liu Ninghuan with a very strange look.
Liu Ninghuan didn't ask about the "condition", but instead said: "Zhao Zhan is not your son, she is a woman."
What Amulu said to her, what the queen said to her, the paintings sent by Qingling, the gossip spread among the people, Prime Minister Qiu's position and attitude... Putting all these things together, Liu Ninghuan was locked in prison for a few days. God, I have been pondering the connection, and then found the conjecture that is closest to the truth.
She asked that question as a foreshadowing—if the emperor really loved Schaub or Jelle, she still needs to weigh up whether she should reveal the secret at this time.But the emperor's reaction told her that the emperor had never loved anyone.
Well, now may be the best time to uncover this secret.
Unexpectedly, the emperor was not shocked, but raised his eyebrows, sighed and said, "Is it a woman? I don't know about that."
This also means that the emperor already knew that Zhao Zhan was not his child.
Liu Ninghuan's heart moved, and he asked, "When did you know?"
"I've been skeptical for a long time, and it took two days to finally confirm it. But—" the emperor sighed a long, long sigh, and said, "Ning'er, you are too late."
Liu Ninghuan shrugged helplessly, said with a wry smile, "I guessed it."
If this news broke out earlier, there might be a turning point, after all, the situation was still uncertain at that time.Now due to the sudden death, Liu Ninghuan is already in the cell.Playing this card at this time will not change Liu Ninghuan's situation.So the emperor said "too late".
But it was this "lateness" that made Liu Ninghuan certain of one thing: the emperor had already decided in his heart the candidate for the crown prince, and this candidate was not himself.
Otherwise, how could it be "late"?The emperor didn't love Shaobu, so it was impossible to lower Liu Ninghuan's "heir points" for Shaobu.Imprisonment is not the same as the death penalty. If the emperor hasn't decided yet, if she still has a chance, she might have a fight after she gets out of prison.
Liu Ninghuan thought to himself: Why did the emperor suddenly make a decision?When and under what circumstances did he know that there was a problem with Zhao Zhan's bloodline?Are these two things related?
The emperor said, "Has anyone visited you these few days?"
Liu Ninghuan said: "My cousin came once, and my mother asked someone to come once. Other than that, there is nothing else. Who is in charge of hearing this case?"
After chatting with the emperor, but judging from his attitude, he didn't seem to want to deal with Liu Ninghuan because of this matter, but some pressure from the outside world made Liu Ninghuan have to continue living in the cell.
What pressure will it be?
Such a simple case, why no one came to interrogate it?
The emperor avoided her question and asked instead: "Is there really no one else?"
Liu Ninghuan said, "No."
Qingling has been to the cell several times, but she always communicated with the jailer through the cell door.It's not worth visiting.
The emperor sighed again, and said, "Ning'er, it's hard for you for the time being."
After saying this, the emperor turned around and left.Liu Ninghuan sat on the straw mat, staring at the emperor's back.When the emperor walked out of the cell, the cell door opened briefly, and the sunlight cast a small patch of warm yellow on the ground, but it quickly closed again.
Liu Ninghuan couldn't tell, and sat there motionless.
Just as Zhao Zhan left the side hall, the queen walked in with a row of court ladies.The queen was very aggressive, and everyone knew why she came here.
The emperor showed an impatient expression and asked the eunuch to change him a cup of tea.
The queen said: "Your Majesty, how is the trial of the demon girl's assassination going?"
The emperor said: "Zhan'er is still investigating, why are you in a hurry?"
The queen said: "Check it out! If you leave this matter to Zhan'er, can you find any good results?!"
At this time, the eunuch had already replaced the tea, and the emperor was already angry after taking a sip. He knocked the teacup heavily on the table and said, "What do you mean!"
The hot tea splashed, and the emperor's hand was burned, but he was not in the mood to take care of it.
The queen was eager to protect the calf, and said coldly: "You know what I'm talking about."
She had long since given up on this man, but when Liu Ninghuan was imprisoned, the situation became even worse: she despaired of this man.
Who doesn't know about the dispute between Zhao Zhan and Zhao Ninghuan?
The daughter blocked the bloody disaster for him and killed the assassin.Even under such circumstances, he asked Zhao Zhan to try the case... Zhao Zhan looks so similar to the dead Altai witch, who knows what's the relationship?
The queen knew early on that the emperor cared about Zhao Zhan's biological mother, and Liu Ninghuan had no advantage in this regard.But she never thought that the emperor would be partial to this.
She even thought a little desperately: the emperor is so partial to Zhao Zhan, is it because Zhao Zhan's biological mother died, so he became Bai Yueguang?Why didn't I die earlier, it can be regarded as paving the way for my daughter.
Seeing the determination and tears on the queen's face, the emperor was a little flustered at that moment, and couldn't help thinking: Why is she so sad?What is she thinking?
But in the next second, the emperor still said with a cold face: "What do you, a woman, know about the affairs of the court!"
The queen said: "I really don't understand government affairs, but I understand family affection! I just want to ask you, do you regard Ning'er as your daughter? Do you want to take this opportunity to let her die?!"
"Shut up!" said the emperor, "you're talking nonsense, you don't look like a queen!"
After hearing this sentence, the queen's face turned pale.She took a step back unconsciously, and said, "Your Majesty, have I occupied the post for so many years, do you think I'm an eyesore? If the imperial concubine didn't die, would you abolish me?"
The panic on the queen's face could not be faked, thinking of all the past, she felt that her life was like a joke.
Even bringing her daughter has become a joke.
The emperor was shocked, and just about to speak, he saw the queen kneeling on the ground.
When the queen was wearing a large and complicated brocade dress, when she was kneeling on the ground, all the ornaments made of gold, silver and jadeite knocked to the ground.Two hairpins collided with each other and shattered, making the sound of jade and stone being destroyed.
The queen said: "The concubine invites me to move into the cold palace, and I hope the emperor will make it happen."
"you!"
The queen raised her body, her eyes were already empty.She said desolately: "If the concubine and Ning'er are blocking the way, then the emperor can do whatever he wants, as long as Ning'er is returned to me."
"What do you mean?"
"I figured it out. If sitting in this position will make Ning'er just like you, then it's better not to have anything. I just want to live in peace with Ning'er. I hope that the emperor can treat Ning'er for the sake of the past. Let Ning'er out." The queen said: "I am willing to persuade her carefully, after she comes out, we mother and daughter will cut off our hair and become nuns, clear the lamp and suffer from the Buddha, and end the rest of our lives."
The emperor stared at the queen. This woman's eyes were always full of desire. They were a political marriage, and she came here for power.The emperor and empress have been wary of each other for more than 20 years.He thought that this time was also a means of retreating, but he didn't expect to see desolation and ashes in the queen's eyes.
She really thought so, she really gave up power.
The emperor overturned the table violently, spilling everything on the floor.A teacup was broken, and the shards splashed beside the queen, but the queen didn't move, as if she didn't respond to these things at all.
The queen knelt down again and said, "I beg your majesty to help you."
The emperor saw with his own eyes that the queen's forehead had been knocked against a piece of debris, and he was furious and said, "Get lost!"
The queen stood up like this and left the side hall.
The more the emperor thought about it, the more angry he became, and the eunuch Xuangong came in to clean it.But seeing people coming and going dangling in front of his eyes, he felt irritable again, and cursed: "Who told you to come in, get out!"
The maid and eunuch walked away tremblingly, but another voice appeared after a while.
"My lord, why are you angry?"
The voice was old and majestic, and the emperor finally forced a smile when he looked up and saw General Chen.General Chen was very loyal, and when he was a child, he served as the prince's attendant to the emperor for a period of time, and the two had a brotherly relationship before.
The emperor said, "It's nothing. Why did Brother Yingru come here today?"
Yingru is General Chen's nickname, and he hasn't called it for a long time.
General Chen was suddenly called like this, and there was a trace of nostalgia in his eyes.But then he bowed his hands respectfully, covering all his emotions, and said: "This time, I came here to ask for a fight."
"Please fight?" The emperor's voice changed.
General Chen said: "Recently, the Altaic people have repeatedly harassed the border of Zhao State, and the people have complained endlessly. I have the soldiers and the people in my heart, and I implore the emperor to issue an order to allow me to go into battle and help the country!"
The emperor said: "Amulu led Shaobu's people out of the palace, and they have not been caught yet. The capital is so unstable, but you want to leave?"
General Chen said neither humble nor overbearing: "The safety of the capital is in the responsibility of the Ninth Prince. Apart from fighting, I don't know anything. I just hope to do something within my ability."
The emperor slapped the table and said, "Brother Yingru, do you want to leave me too!"
General Chen raised his head, showing a slightly confused expression.Although they had a youthful friendship, General Chen had been stationed on the frontier for a long time, and the two hadn't gotten along seriously for 40 to [-] years. Why did they "leave"?
The emperor was in a bad mood.
General Chen knelt on the ground in the same posture as the queen.General Chen said: "Weichen has been a soldier in the border for more than 30 years, and he has become a general all the way from a soldier. To Weichen, the people at the border are my family, and the soldiers at the border are my brothers. When family members and brothers are in trouble, A humble official can't just sit back and watch!"
A corner of peace?Stand by?brother?
Every word of General Chen hit the Emperor's heart hard, making him realize that he really has nothing.Lovers are not lovers, children are not children, brothers are not brothers... This throne is really the same as the queen said, it is better not to.
Having said that, the anger in the emperor's heart still could not dissipate.He sternly said to General Chen: "You are the great general whom I have personally appointed, and you must not leave until the capital is completely stabilized!"
General Chen: "This!"
The emperor said: "If General Chen can't even catch the remaining assassins, why is there any reason to go to the border to fight? If General Chen is old, he might as well rest in the capital. The younger generation will handle the war."
General Chen observed the emperor's expression and knew that there was no room for change, so he closed his eyes and knelt down to thank him.
After leaving the palace gate, General Chen saw Mu Shan who had been waiting outside the gate.Mu Shan greeted him and asked, "Master, how is it?"
General Chen shook his head, the emperor is really crazy... what should he do with the country of Zhao?
After taking two steps, General Chen realized that Mu Shan hadn't followed.He turned around and looked at Mu Shan in surprise, only to find that after a brief hesitation, Mu Shan showed a resolute expression, as if he had made up his mind.
Mu Shan knelt down on one knee, gave a military salute to General Chen, and said, "Master, if you can't get away, please entrust this important task to me! I have no ties with the Altaic people, and I will definitely protect one side of the country and the people." !"
Mu Shan's expression is full of blood, which is the passion of young people. When General Chen went to the frontier for the first time, he had a similar mood.
Mu Shan said: "Although I have never been on a battlefield, I will definitely go all out and fight for every inch of land without giving up a single cent!"
General Chen thought to himself: That orphan whose parents both died back then has grown up like this...
He looked back and saw the high palace walls, the bricks were as red as blood... Which generation of power was not forged by blood?But some people live in it for a long time and forget everything.
General Chen sighed, and then whispered to Mu Shan: "I can't decide this matter, let's go find the Ninth Prince."
And the Ninth Prince, whom General Chen wanted to find, was at the Chancellor's Mansion at the moment.
Prime Minister Qiu kept claiming that he was gone, and Zhao Zhan just sat in the hall, drinking tea as motionless as a mountain.
It was Qiu Xin who appeared first and asked Zhao Zhan, "My lord, let me bring you some tea."
When Qiu Xin poured water for Zhao Zhan, Zhao Zhan paid attention to Qiu Xin's expression.Qiu Xin's calmness and calmness in the past disappeared, his eyes were bloodshot, he was sleepy and exhausted, and he seemed to have not slept well.
Zhao Zhan asked, "Where's your fan?"
Qiu Xin said: "It's been a bit cold these days, so I put away the fan."
Zhao Zhan said: "I don't know when Prime Minister Qiu's illness will be cured? If you need any medicinal materials, you can tell Qingling, and she will send them to the mansion at any time."
"Thank you for my father, my son is worried." Qiu Xin finished refilling the tea, turned around and was about to leave.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Zhan stopped him: "Qiu Xin."
Qiu Xin turned to look at her.
"He who understands current affairs is a hero," Zhao Zhan said, "You are different from your father, so let me tell you. You know the current situation well, and I want you to pass a message to Prime Minister Qiu. Should you pass it on? When to pass it on is up to you, I won't mind."
Qiu Xin said, "What are you talking about?"
Zhao Zhan said: "I know what Prime Minister Qiu is worried about. I have found a way to get the best of both worlds. I will wait here until Prime Minister Qiu is willing to see me."
Qiu Xin didn't say anything, but turned and left directly.
An hour later, Prime Minister Qiu appeared in the hall. "Ninth Prince, I'm sorry for not being able to show up in time. The old man has been ill recently, and I'm really sorry for not being able to show up in time."
Zhao Zhan smiled slightly, not taking this obvious lie and negligence to heart.
She cut to the chase and said, "To make a long story short, Prime Minister Qiu must have heard about what happened at the border. Don't you feel pain and discomfort about what is happening? Don't you want to do something for the people?"
Prime Minister Qiu couldn't help showing a pitiful expression: This is the shortcoming of Zhao Ninghuan's background, Zhao Ninghuan has no means to deal with war at all.Prime Minister Qiu originally thought that he could delay for a while and leave it to Zhao Ninghuan to tidy up, but who knew that the incident between Shaobu and the assassins came so unexpectedly, they were completely unprepared, and they faced a bloody battle.
Prime Minister Qiu sighed slightly in his heart, and said: "Smart people don't speak secretly, Ninth Prince, Xin'er said that you have found the way to achieve both. I have been thinking hard for so many years, but I have never understood this kind of thing. I am stupid, I also ask the Ninth Prince to give me some pointers."
Zhao Zhan said: "I am already twenty-six, but my mother passed away early, and I am busy with mundane affairs, so I have never had time to think about life-long affairs. The mansion has received a lot of invitations, but I am not interested in those women."
Why did you talk, and suddenly it came to the important matter of marriage?Prime Minister Qiu frowned briefly, then quickly untied it, and was replaced by a shocked expression——
"You...what do you mean?!" Prime Minister Qiu was dumbfounded, as if Zhao Zhan had said something outrageous.
Zhao Zhan had a good time, and after drinking this sip of water, he said slowly: "Yes, just as you guessed. I want to marry Zhao Ninghuan as my concubine."
A few days later, in a small teahouse.
Mr. Storyteller is quite fashionable, and at the moment he is talking about anecdotes and anecdotes that happened at the Queen's birthday party a few days ago.I heard that the emperor hid the goddess in the golden house for more than 20 years. This time, he accidentally exposed it to the queen. The queen killed the goddess in a rage. The emperor was furious. Princess Pingzhen took the blame.Unexpectedly, the emperor's love for the goddess was even greater, and the queen made a mistake in judgment, which led to Princess Pingzhen being thrown into prison!
As for the goddess, did she marry into the palace as a noble concubine more than 20 years ago, and then she left after giving birth to the nine princes?Then who knows, the secret matter of the palace, if it is passed on, it will go wrong.In short, the storyteller talks casually, and the spectators can listen casually.
Amulu has been hiding in the guest house these days
Liu Ninghuan lay on the straw mat, feeling that everything was too ridiculous.
All her personal belongings were confiscated, including the fake death medicine that Yunjing made for her.The person who searched was Zhao Zhan's subordinates. Liu Ninghuan heard with his own ears that the man put all the things in a basket and said to a person after he left the prison door: "My lord, everything is here."
The "adult" said in a soft voice: "Yes." Liu Ninghuan happened to recognize that it was Qingling.
Liu Ninghuan shouted to the outside of the cell: "Take care of Xiaozhen!"
Up to now, she has a very complicated attitude towards Qingling, she can't believe it, but wants to believe it at the same time.And Xiaozhen...Qingling hinted that she hid Xiaozhen. Although Liu Ninghuan felt that Qingling would not be so low-handed as to do anything to Xiaozhen when she was not around, this sentence was more of a trust.
She hoped that Qingling could protect Xiaozhen and prevent Xiaozhen from being hurt.
Qingling didn't respond to her, but the rhythm of walking was destroyed, and she paused for a moment before continuing to walk outside.Because of that momentary pause, Liu Ninghuan felt strangely relieved. If Qingling heard it, then the matter would be settled.In this regard, Liu Ninghuan trusted Qing Ling quite a bit.
The part about Xiaozhen is relieved, but the other parts are not yet.
Liu Ninghuan turned over, the straw mat was too rough, and the grass stalks pierced her brocade clothes, her body was itchy and slightly painful.
What about Shi Chan?What will happen to Shi Jian?
What about the emperor and queen?Are there any other assassins?
What about Amulu?Have you ever been caught?
How far has it progressed outside?What will happen to me?
Schaub came prepared, but he didn't know who to assassinate.Amulu said that Schaub was jealous when he heard about the preparations for a birthday party, so he broke the plan and sneaked in to kill people.But Liu Ninghuan felt that this was not the case at all.Judging from the few words Liu Ninghuan heard, Shaobu's goal from the beginning was the emperor, and the reason why she was so impulsive seems to be... complaining about her sister?
Now that Schaub is dead, the truth has already passed away with the wind, and no one can ask the wind for an answer.
And it was just an accident that he accidentally killed Schaub.This accident was not recorded in the original book. What's more, the characters on the line of Shaobu, Ao Le, and A Mulu all appeared by themselves.
Liu Ninghuan's own writing is very sloppy and casual, and it is absolutely impossible to set it so carefully.It turned out that after transmigrating in, she found that there were so many twists and turns, which surprised her very much.A person cannot create something beyond himself. If this is really the book he wrote, then there must be someone higher than Liu Ninghuan himself who helped Liu Ninghuan complete these details.
Perhaps in the eyes of this higher being, Liu Ninghuan is the protagonist.
Wait, protagonist...
Thinking of this, Liu Ninghuan immediately sat up from the straw mat.
Qingling is her heroine; Qingling knows that Zhao Zhan doesn't love her but she is still willing to give everything for Zhao Zhan; Qingling uses Princess Pingzhen as a springboard to successfully approach Shi Chan, and also gains Shi Chan's trust and masters a part of it. Qingling was imprisoned for assassinating Shi Chan, and was later pardoned because of the new emperor's accession to the throne——
What about yourself?Are you the heroine described by the "higher being"?
I knew that Qing Ling didn't love me, but I was still willing to be deceived by her. This kind of behavior deviated from reason and was completely controlled by emotions.Are these emotions spontaneous?It's like... In the setting of the scumbag and the humble subject, did Qing Ling fall in love with Zhao Zhan spontaneously?
After directly soul-transmitting Princess Pingzhen and approaching Shi Zhen, he took over the most important real power from Shi Zhen.
Going to jail for the (accidental) assassination himself...
Liu Ninghuan's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly felt a trance that penetrated everything.
Will it be so?Is my life just a drama?
Drama writers don't care who the protagonist is, and they don't care about the details of the story... No, it's not that they don't care, it's just that all the details must be succumbed to the big framework of "inheritance and transformation", so no matter what Liu Ninghuan does, no matter how many "deviations" occur "Original development" is just a confirmation of fate.
fate.
As soon as the word came out, even the smallest things became heavy.
Liu Ninghuan didn't believe this speculation from the bottom of his heart, but still asked silently to the ceiling: Is that so?
"No one can enter without the king's permission!"
"My sister's tent, I can get in if I want!"
"The king is inside, you can't go in!"
"Go away!"
There was a commotion outside the tent, and the curtain was lifted the next moment.Jelle was sitting on the bed, wearing a thick fox fur. He was not in good health, and he had always been dressed as such a weak and sick child, and everyone was used to it.
Jelle coughed twice and said, "Uncle, what are you in such a hurry for?"
The man Jelle called his uncle looked around, but he couldn't find Schaub in the tent.Not only is there no Schaub, but there are no traces of women such as maids.The uncle showed a shocked and angry expression, and said, "Where's my sister?!"
Jelle coughed twice, looked very uncomfortable, and did not speak.
The uncle said again: "Now it is said that she was killed in the capital of Zhao State! It is also said that she left Altai a long time ago. Is this true?! She said that she has been ill for so long, you come in and out, is it just Didn't you notice that she was gone?!"
Because of coughing, Jelle kept covering his mouth with his hands, thus covering all his expressions.When he heard the uncle's last words, he suddenly slapped the table, and the water glasses fell over, and the fresh milk spilled all over the table, and even onto the bed and the floor.
Uncle was taken aback by his gloomy expression, and then heard Jelle say: "We all know what kind of character she is! Could it be that I can control her?! I also want to know if the rumors outside are true!"
The uncle was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized: "What you said is true? She has really left Altai for a long time? And you have been helping her to hide it? Why?"
Jelle said harshly, "I don't know!"
Jelle was so tired of his stupid uncle that he couldn't understand what he said, hints didn't work, and when he noticed something, he just stared at that detail and dug deeper.The question now is when did Schaub leave Altai?Why did I help her hide it?The question now, isn't what to do next?
He also wanted to know, Shaobu said he would go to Zhao Guo to arrange some things, how did he make the arrangements, and then he entered the palace!There are also rumors that he was killed!
Seeing his uncle's anxious expression, Jelle calmed down and asked, "What's going on outside? What's the situation now?"
Uncle said: "Many people said that she went to Zhao country to carry out some secret missions. I didn't expect her whereabouts to be exposed in Zhao country, and she was killed by that so-and-so princess. Now many people want to ask you for a favor." According to the saying, I heard that someone lost his composure and took a small group of troops to attack the city!"
Jelle asked, "Siege?"
The uncle replied: "It's the small town at the border. It was guarded by General Chen before, but he seems to have returned to the capital recently to celebrate their queen's birthday. Their queen is fine, but my sister... if I didn't Knowing how to fight, I can't swallow this breath!"
Just when Jelle was about to say something, there was another commotion outside the tent. Judging from the sound, it was a large group of people.The guards guarding the tents outside were obviously powerless and could not control the angry crowd at all.
Jelle went out and saw the dense crowd.Anger and excitement were written on everyone's face, and they immediately became noisy when they saw Jelle appear.
Jelle gestured for them to be quiet.Then he asked the person who was at the front: "What's wrong?"
The person in the front is a very young boy in the clan.With red eyes, he said: "We will make the Zhao people pay for their blood!"
"Blood debt paid in blood! Blood debt paid in blood!"
Jelle said, "Where is your father, why are you here?"
The young man said: "The goddesses were all killed by them, how can my father sit still! He has already brought his brothers to beat the Zhao people! I want to go too! Please order the assembly!"
"The king please order the assembly!"
The dense crowd all knelt down. Amidst the loud shouts, Yelle knew that the emotions of the people could not be suppressed.
It has come to a point where a war must be fought.
"Okay!" Jelle raised his arms and said, "Everyone listen to my orders!"
……
Border town, Zhao country.
"Captain Zhang! The Altai people are rushing over!"
"Resist with all your might!"
"I can't bear it, Colonel Zhang! Their queen mother is dead, and now she's red-eyed! Before, General Chen was still there, relying on his majesty and deterrence, he could barely hold on. This time, I'm afraid... I'm afraid..."
"Shut up! Don't spoil your prestige with others' ambition! If you can't hold it, you have to hold it! We have sent a letter to General Chen! He will be back soon!"
"Lieutenant Zhang...why is this? Why did the queen mother of the Altaic tribe appear in the palace? Why did Princess Pingzhen kill her so impulsively... Did no one think about the consequences before they did things? Now General Chen still Not here..."
This is also what puzzled Captain Zhang.The Empress Dowager of the Altaic Tribe secretly appeared in our Zhao Kingdom's palace, no matter how you look at it, it has bad intentions.Since the secret work was exposed, it was normal for him to be killed, and Zhao Guo was on the right side.
But if there is national hatred and family hatred first, how can it make sense.There is only one thing in the eyes of the Altai people, and that is that their queen mother was killed in Zhao Guo.How did Shaobu get to the Zhao Palace?for what?The Altai people don't care at all, because hatred fills their eyes and heads, and the reason is the last thing to care about.
Xiaowei Zhang sighed, and said, "Have the common people gone into hiding? Regardless of the cause and effect, we must not allow the common people to be harmed when a fight breaks out! Before General Chen returns, we must persevere as much as we can!"
"Lieutenant Zhang! The tunnel, the tunnel hidden by the common people! It was discovered by the Altai people!" A voice came from a distance, crying blood every word.
……
In the past few days, General Chen's residence has been very busy.
Countless war pigeons flapped their wings and flew over to report to him the situation on the battlefield.In addition, the ministers of the DPRK and China also came to visit one after another, wanting to find out the current situation from him, so as to better choose to stand in line.
Stand in line!At this time, these people are still thinking about power!
General Chen was both angry and helpless. According to the news he had received in the past few days, the border crossing was imminent.Several border towns have already fallen or are about to fall, countless soldiers were killed and injured, and even civilians suffered many casualties.He really wanted to leave the capital and stand with the soldiers and the common people, but the power dispute was like a swamp, and he was stuck in his footsteps.
Why is this so?General Chen found it ridiculous.
Mu Shan stood beside him and said in a low voice, "Master."
General Chen turned his head to look at Mu Shan, and saw the tears in the corner of Mu Shan's eyes.General Chen sighed inwardly, but nothing showed on his face, he just patted Mu Shan on the shoulder silently.
Mu Shan said: "What did the Ninth Prince say? When will you go to the border? Are the food and supplies on the way?"
"Po Yue," General Chen said in a heavy tone, but he still tried his best to enlighten Mu Shan: "It is useless to be anxious. The country is a huge whole, and we are only a part of it. We are not the ones who make the decisions. At this time, We just have to wait."
Mu Shan was silent for a moment, then said firmly again: "No, we can still fight for it."
The emperor appears in the dungeon.
He was dressed plainly, perhaps because he was too exhausted these days, so there was deep fatigue and sadness in his brows, as if he had aged ten years in an instant.
But in comparison, Liu Ninghuan's mental state is quite good.At this moment, she was even sleeping, completely unaware that there was an extra person in the "room".
She lay on her back and did not move for a while.His breathing was steady and his brows were stretched, not at all like a person who was imprisoned.
After an unknown amount of time, Liu Ninghuan slowly opened his eyes, rubbed them, and stretched.This is really sleep till wake up naturally.
After waking up, he saw the emperor sitting in front of him.Liu Ninghuan was stunned for a moment, and said, "Father, when did you come?"
The emperor said: "Ning'er, I didn't expect that you have slept well these few days."
Liu Ninghuan smiled flatly, but in the eyes of the emperor, this smile was a bit hollow.Liu Ninghuan said: "Things have developed to the present, even if I am worried and anxious, it is useless. It is better to have a good sleep and keep healthy."
The emperor asked curiously: "Aren't you worried about your result?"
Liu Ninghuan spread his hands and said: "I'm in prison, what can I do? My cousin and mother will save me. Zhao Zhan must be trying to kill me. The two groups of people are facing each other. It's you who makes the decision." Liu Ning Huan pointed at himself with a finger and said, "And I, just wait."
Ever since Liu Ninghuan came up with that nagging "fate theory" in the cell, her mood has entered a strangely still state.It seems that everything has nothing to do with her, as long as she waits quietly, someone will always give her an ending.
This calm state of mind is different from the passive stress response.Because Liu Ninghuan didn't even feel pain because of this "manipulated fate"... To be honest, this is a very abnormal state, but Liu Ninghuan has no time to care about him at this time.Because the emperor looked at her with complex emotions in his eyes, and it would take a lot of brain capacity to distinguish the composition of these emotions.
The emperor said in a low voice: "You are sleeping in the cell, and the people outside can't rest for a moment. Do you know what kind of chaos the court has become because of you?"
Liu Ninghuan said: "If I hadn't accidentally killed her, then you might have died, and the court would still be in chaos, even worse than it is now. Since my existence and choices can't change the chaos at all, then it can't be said that it's because of me. "
It is very simple to find an excuse for everything. Going back in time, you can always find a thing that "happened before it".But finding the cause of something is not so simple.As far as Liu Ninghuan is concerned, this chaos originated more than 20 years ago, but it was just the cause planted at that time, and now it has borne fruit.
The emperor looked at her probingly, and said, "You seem to have a lot of complaints about me."
The emperor could still see the difference between a sentence with a gun and a stick, and real peace.
Liu Ninghuan paused for a while, and then said: "Probably. Anyway, I'm already in prison, and I have a problem that I really want to clarify. If I offend you...just continue to lock me up."
"Ask," said the emperor.
Liu Ninghuan asked: "Shaobu, her sister, and the queen mother. Among these three people, is there anyone you really loved?"
The emperor is a sensual emperor, from Liu Ninghuan, he has never lost anyone around him.The queen seemed to be accustomed to this situation, completely unable to arouse her mood swings.When the empress had the most emotional ups and downs, perhaps she suspected that she saw Schaub at the birthday party, so she said some personal words to Liu Ning.The thorn in the queen's heart was not that the emperor favored so and so again, but that the emperor had truly loved someone.
The queen's life was unfortunate, and it was natural for her to favor her emotionally.But does the emperor really have a heart?Has he really loved anyone?
Judging from the conversation I heard in the grass that day, it may be Schaub who loves Ao Le more.
For a moment, the emperor's face showed something similar to an expression of embarrassment, and he blurted out: "Bold!"
But then he was stunned again, bold... bold what?Liu Ninghuan is already in prison, but the thing that determines her fate is outside the prison.She asked such a perverse question, and it couldn't make her situation worse; she couldn't speak well, and she couldn't get her out of prison.
The emperor subconsciously thought about the question Liu Ninghuan raised, so he was confused.After a while, he still didn't come up with an answer, so he changed the subject and said, "You're wrong, Zhan'er didn't want to kill you. She asked me...another condition. But..."
The emperor looked at Liu Ninghuan with a very strange look.
Liu Ninghuan didn't ask about the "condition", but instead said: "Zhao Zhan is not your son, she is a woman."
What Amulu said to her, what the queen said to her, the paintings sent by Qingling, the gossip spread among the people, Prime Minister Qiu's position and attitude... Putting all these things together, Liu Ninghuan was locked in prison for a few days. God, I have been pondering the connection, and then found the conjecture that is closest to the truth.
She asked that question as a foreshadowing—if the emperor really loved Schaub or Jelle, she still needs to weigh up whether she should reveal the secret at this time.But the emperor's reaction told her that the emperor had never loved anyone.
Well, now may be the best time to uncover this secret.
Unexpectedly, the emperor was not shocked, but raised his eyebrows, sighed and said, "Is it a woman? I don't know about that."
This also means that the emperor already knew that Zhao Zhan was not his child.
Liu Ninghuan's heart moved, and he asked, "When did you know?"
"I've been skeptical for a long time, and it took two days to finally confirm it. But—" the emperor sighed a long, long sigh, and said, "Ning'er, you are too late."
Liu Ninghuan shrugged helplessly, said with a wry smile, "I guessed it."
If this news broke out earlier, there might be a turning point, after all, the situation was still uncertain at that time.Now due to the sudden death, Liu Ninghuan is already in the cell.Playing this card at this time will not change Liu Ninghuan's situation.So the emperor said "too late".
But it was this "lateness" that made Liu Ninghuan certain of one thing: the emperor had already decided in his heart the candidate for the crown prince, and this candidate was not himself.
Otherwise, how could it be "late"?The emperor didn't love Shaobu, so it was impossible to lower Liu Ninghuan's "heir points" for Shaobu.Imprisonment is not the same as the death penalty. If the emperor hasn't decided yet, if she still has a chance, she might have a fight after she gets out of prison.
Liu Ninghuan thought to himself: Why did the emperor suddenly make a decision?When and under what circumstances did he know that there was a problem with Zhao Zhan's bloodline?Are these two things related?
The emperor said, "Has anyone visited you these few days?"
Liu Ninghuan said: "My cousin came once, and my mother asked someone to come once. Other than that, there is nothing else. Who is in charge of hearing this case?"
After chatting with the emperor, but judging from his attitude, he didn't seem to want to deal with Liu Ninghuan because of this matter, but some pressure from the outside world made Liu Ninghuan have to continue living in the cell.
What pressure will it be?
Such a simple case, why no one came to interrogate it?
The emperor avoided her question and asked instead: "Is there really no one else?"
Liu Ninghuan said, "No."
Qingling has been to the cell several times, but she always communicated with the jailer through the cell door.It's not worth visiting.
The emperor sighed again, and said, "Ning'er, it's hard for you for the time being."
After saying this, the emperor turned around and left.Liu Ninghuan sat on the straw mat, staring at the emperor's back.When the emperor walked out of the cell, the cell door opened briefly, and the sunlight cast a small patch of warm yellow on the ground, but it quickly closed again.
Liu Ninghuan couldn't tell, and sat there motionless.
Just as Zhao Zhan left the side hall, the queen walked in with a row of court ladies.The queen was very aggressive, and everyone knew why she came here.
The emperor showed an impatient expression and asked the eunuch to change him a cup of tea.
The queen said: "Your Majesty, how is the trial of the demon girl's assassination going?"
The emperor said: "Zhan'er is still investigating, why are you in a hurry?"
The queen said: "Check it out! If you leave this matter to Zhan'er, can you find any good results?!"
At this time, the eunuch had already replaced the tea, and the emperor was already angry after taking a sip. He knocked the teacup heavily on the table and said, "What do you mean!"
The hot tea splashed, and the emperor's hand was burned, but he was not in the mood to take care of it.
The queen was eager to protect the calf, and said coldly: "You know what I'm talking about."
She had long since given up on this man, but when Liu Ninghuan was imprisoned, the situation became even worse: she despaired of this man.
Who doesn't know about the dispute between Zhao Zhan and Zhao Ninghuan?
The daughter blocked the bloody disaster for him and killed the assassin.Even under such circumstances, he asked Zhao Zhan to try the case... Zhao Zhan looks so similar to the dead Altai witch, who knows what's the relationship?
The queen knew early on that the emperor cared about Zhao Zhan's biological mother, and Liu Ninghuan had no advantage in this regard.But she never thought that the emperor would be partial to this.
She even thought a little desperately: the emperor is so partial to Zhao Zhan, is it because Zhao Zhan's biological mother died, so he became Bai Yueguang?Why didn't I die earlier, it can be regarded as paving the way for my daughter.
Seeing the determination and tears on the queen's face, the emperor was a little flustered at that moment, and couldn't help thinking: Why is she so sad?What is she thinking?
But in the next second, the emperor still said with a cold face: "What do you, a woman, know about the affairs of the court!"
The queen said: "I really don't understand government affairs, but I understand family affection! I just want to ask you, do you regard Ning'er as your daughter? Do you want to take this opportunity to let her die?!"
"Shut up!" said the emperor, "you're talking nonsense, you don't look like a queen!"
After hearing this sentence, the queen's face turned pale.She took a step back unconsciously, and said, "Your Majesty, have I occupied the post for so many years, do you think I'm an eyesore? If the imperial concubine didn't die, would you abolish me?"
The panic on the queen's face could not be faked, thinking of all the past, she felt that her life was like a joke.
Even bringing her daughter has become a joke.
The emperor was shocked, and just about to speak, he saw the queen kneeling on the ground.
When the queen was wearing a large and complicated brocade dress, when she was kneeling on the ground, all the ornaments made of gold, silver and jadeite knocked to the ground.Two hairpins collided with each other and shattered, making the sound of jade and stone being destroyed.
The queen said: "The concubine invites me to move into the cold palace, and I hope the emperor will make it happen."
"you!"
The queen raised her body, her eyes were already empty.She said desolately: "If the concubine and Ning'er are blocking the way, then the emperor can do whatever he wants, as long as Ning'er is returned to me."
"What do you mean?"
"I figured it out. If sitting in this position will make Ning'er just like you, then it's better not to have anything. I just want to live in peace with Ning'er. I hope that the emperor can treat Ning'er for the sake of the past. Let Ning'er out." The queen said: "I am willing to persuade her carefully, after she comes out, we mother and daughter will cut off our hair and become nuns, clear the lamp and suffer from the Buddha, and end the rest of our lives."
The emperor stared at the queen. This woman's eyes were always full of desire. They were a political marriage, and she came here for power.The emperor and empress have been wary of each other for more than 20 years.He thought that this time was also a means of retreating, but he didn't expect to see desolation and ashes in the queen's eyes.
She really thought so, she really gave up power.
The emperor overturned the table violently, spilling everything on the floor.A teacup was broken, and the shards splashed beside the queen, but the queen didn't move, as if she didn't respond to these things at all.
The queen knelt down again and said, "I beg your majesty to help you."
The emperor saw with his own eyes that the queen's forehead had been knocked against a piece of debris, and he was furious and said, "Get lost!"
The queen stood up like this and left the side hall.
The more the emperor thought about it, the more angry he became, and the eunuch Xuangong came in to clean it.But seeing people coming and going dangling in front of his eyes, he felt irritable again, and cursed: "Who told you to come in, get out!"
The maid and eunuch walked away tremblingly, but another voice appeared after a while.
"My lord, why are you angry?"
The voice was old and majestic, and the emperor finally forced a smile when he looked up and saw General Chen.General Chen was very loyal, and when he was a child, he served as the prince's attendant to the emperor for a period of time, and the two had a brotherly relationship before.
The emperor said, "It's nothing. Why did Brother Yingru come here today?"
Yingru is General Chen's nickname, and he hasn't called it for a long time.
General Chen was suddenly called like this, and there was a trace of nostalgia in his eyes.But then he bowed his hands respectfully, covering all his emotions, and said: "This time, I came here to ask for a fight."
"Please fight?" The emperor's voice changed.
General Chen said: "Recently, the Altaic people have repeatedly harassed the border of Zhao State, and the people have complained endlessly. I have the soldiers and the people in my heart, and I implore the emperor to issue an order to allow me to go into battle and help the country!"
The emperor said: "Amulu led Shaobu's people out of the palace, and they have not been caught yet. The capital is so unstable, but you want to leave?"
General Chen said neither humble nor overbearing: "The safety of the capital is in the responsibility of the Ninth Prince. Apart from fighting, I don't know anything. I just hope to do something within my ability."
The emperor slapped the table and said, "Brother Yingru, do you want to leave me too!"
General Chen raised his head, showing a slightly confused expression.Although they had a youthful friendship, General Chen had been stationed on the frontier for a long time, and the two hadn't gotten along seriously for 40 to [-] years. Why did they "leave"?
The emperor was in a bad mood.
General Chen knelt on the ground in the same posture as the queen.General Chen said: "Weichen has been a soldier in the border for more than 30 years, and he has become a general all the way from a soldier. To Weichen, the people at the border are my family, and the soldiers at the border are my brothers. When family members and brothers are in trouble, A humble official can't just sit back and watch!"
A corner of peace?Stand by?brother?
Every word of General Chen hit the Emperor's heart hard, making him realize that he really has nothing.Lovers are not lovers, children are not children, brothers are not brothers... This throne is really the same as the queen said, it is better not to.
Having said that, the anger in the emperor's heart still could not dissipate.He sternly said to General Chen: "You are the great general whom I have personally appointed, and you must not leave until the capital is completely stabilized!"
General Chen: "This!"
The emperor said: "If General Chen can't even catch the remaining assassins, why is there any reason to go to the border to fight? If General Chen is old, he might as well rest in the capital. The younger generation will handle the war."
General Chen observed the emperor's expression and knew that there was no room for change, so he closed his eyes and knelt down to thank him.
After leaving the palace gate, General Chen saw Mu Shan who had been waiting outside the gate.Mu Shan greeted him and asked, "Master, how is it?"
General Chen shook his head, the emperor is really crazy... what should he do with the country of Zhao?
After taking two steps, General Chen realized that Mu Shan hadn't followed.He turned around and looked at Mu Shan in surprise, only to find that after a brief hesitation, Mu Shan showed a resolute expression, as if he had made up his mind.
Mu Shan knelt down on one knee, gave a military salute to General Chen, and said, "Master, if you can't get away, please entrust this important task to me! I have no ties with the Altaic people, and I will definitely protect one side of the country and the people." !"
Mu Shan's expression is full of blood, which is the passion of young people. When General Chen went to the frontier for the first time, he had a similar mood.
Mu Shan said: "Although I have never been on a battlefield, I will definitely go all out and fight for every inch of land without giving up a single cent!"
General Chen thought to himself: That orphan whose parents both died back then has grown up like this...
He looked back and saw the high palace walls, the bricks were as red as blood... Which generation of power was not forged by blood?But some people live in it for a long time and forget everything.
General Chen sighed, and then whispered to Mu Shan: "I can't decide this matter, let's go find the Ninth Prince."
And the Ninth Prince, whom General Chen wanted to find, was at the Chancellor's Mansion at the moment.
Prime Minister Qiu kept claiming that he was gone, and Zhao Zhan just sat in the hall, drinking tea as motionless as a mountain.
It was Qiu Xin who appeared first and asked Zhao Zhan, "My lord, let me bring you some tea."
When Qiu Xin poured water for Zhao Zhan, Zhao Zhan paid attention to Qiu Xin's expression.Qiu Xin's calmness and calmness in the past disappeared, his eyes were bloodshot, he was sleepy and exhausted, and he seemed to have not slept well.
Zhao Zhan asked, "Where's your fan?"
Qiu Xin said: "It's been a bit cold these days, so I put away the fan."
Zhao Zhan said: "I don't know when Prime Minister Qiu's illness will be cured? If you need any medicinal materials, you can tell Qingling, and she will send them to the mansion at any time."
"Thank you for my father, my son is worried." Qiu Xin finished refilling the tea, turned around and was about to leave.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Zhan stopped him: "Qiu Xin."
Qiu Xin turned to look at her.
"He who understands current affairs is a hero," Zhao Zhan said, "You are different from your father, so let me tell you. You know the current situation well, and I want you to pass a message to Prime Minister Qiu. Should you pass it on? When to pass it on is up to you, I won't mind."
Qiu Xin said, "What are you talking about?"
Zhao Zhan said: "I know what Prime Minister Qiu is worried about. I have found a way to get the best of both worlds. I will wait here until Prime Minister Qiu is willing to see me."
Qiu Xin didn't say anything, but turned and left directly.
An hour later, Prime Minister Qiu appeared in the hall. "Ninth Prince, I'm sorry for not being able to show up in time. The old man has been ill recently, and I'm really sorry for not being able to show up in time."
Zhao Zhan smiled slightly, not taking this obvious lie and negligence to heart.
She cut to the chase and said, "To make a long story short, Prime Minister Qiu must have heard about what happened at the border. Don't you feel pain and discomfort about what is happening? Don't you want to do something for the people?"
Prime Minister Qiu couldn't help showing a pitiful expression: This is the shortcoming of Zhao Ninghuan's background, Zhao Ninghuan has no means to deal with war at all.Prime Minister Qiu originally thought that he could delay for a while and leave it to Zhao Ninghuan to tidy up, but who knew that the incident between Shaobu and the assassins came so unexpectedly, they were completely unprepared, and they faced a bloody battle.
Prime Minister Qiu sighed slightly in his heart, and said: "Smart people don't speak secretly, Ninth Prince, Xin'er said that you have found the way to achieve both. I have been thinking hard for so many years, but I have never understood this kind of thing. I am stupid, I also ask the Ninth Prince to give me some pointers."
Zhao Zhan said: "I am already twenty-six, but my mother passed away early, and I am busy with mundane affairs, so I have never had time to think about life-long affairs. The mansion has received a lot of invitations, but I am not interested in those women."
Why did you talk, and suddenly it came to the important matter of marriage?Prime Minister Qiu frowned briefly, then quickly untied it, and was replaced by a shocked expression——
"You...what do you mean?!" Prime Minister Qiu was dumbfounded, as if Zhao Zhan had said something outrageous.
Zhao Zhan had a good time, and after drinking this sip of water, he said slowly: "Yes, just as you guessed. I want to marry Zhao Ninghuan as my concubine."
A few days later, in a small teahouse.
Mr. Storyteller is quite fashionable, and at the moment he is talking about anecdotes and anecdotes that happened at the Queen's birthday party a few days ago.I heard that the emperor hid the goddess in the golden house for more than 20 years. This time, he accidentally exposed it to the queen. The queen killed the goddess in a rage. The emperor was furious. Princess Pingzhen took the blame.Unexpectedly, the emperor's love for the goddess was even greater, and the queen made a mistake in judgment, which led to Princess Pingzhen being thrown into prison!
As for the goddess, did she marry into the palace as a noble concubine more than 20 years ago, and then she left after giving birth to the nine princes?Then who knows, the secret matter of the palace, if it is passed on, it will go wrong.In short, the storyteller talks casually, and the spectators can listen casually.
Amulu has been hiding in the guest house these days
