The war was suspended, and the early court did not come up with a reason. After Emperor Longde came down from the early court, he thought about it and summoned Shen Yu.

The day before yesterday, the Minister of Dali Temple gave a secret performance, saying that one of the assassins during the hunt in July slipped through the net. He had already caught it and was interrogated overnight. It turned out that Shen Yu's man was sent to assassinate the third prince.

Emperor Longde doted on Concubine Shen Gui, but he saw Shen Yu's behavior but didn't take it to heart. After all, no matter how powerful a courtier is, he can't compete with the imperial power. Therefore, Shen Yu has been allowed to collect money and seize power to eradicate dissidents for many years. After the imperial concubine gave birth, he began to be a little jealous of Shen Yu. The Ninth Prince was weak, and Shen Yu was in power. Wouldn't it be good if it was reversed at this time?

In addition, now that it is known that Shen Yu moved his hands as early as July, when he thought about it carefully, Shen Yu was so impatient that he didn't even know whether Concubine Shen Gui was a man or a woman, so why did he move his hands?

The emperor's mind, which had been addicted to love for many years, finally cleared up a bit, and he faintly felt that something was wrong, so he became more wary of Shen Yu, and announced him at this time, intending to test him out.

After Shen Yu entered the palace to salute, the emperor didn't call out for a long time. He was cautious, so he listened to Emperor Longde: "Just now, Shen Qing didn't seem to say anything. I want to ask, what does Ai Qing think about the Northwest matter?"

Emperor Longde had just taken care of Liu Ye, and Shen Yu spent a lot of trouble to get rid of himself. It is not easy to cut off his own arm. Without Liu Ye, his actions are limited. Recently, Emperor Longde seems to be in a bad mood. Trust him, if you ask him about this matter now, you probably want him to lead the troops to the west, but now Linye is in charge of Zhong Shuo, and there is Emperor Yongmu, it will be difficult for him to go, and the situation in Beijing is completely different Unworthy of others, he was determined not to leave Beijing.

Thinking of this, Shen Yu said: "Returning to Your Majesty, I think that the Qiang Hu is not enough to be feared, and the son-in-law is enough to guard Linye. It is better for your Majesty to send more troops for the son-in-law, so that we can win as soon as possible."

Emperor Longde said: "What if I order Shen Qing to go to Linye to defend against the enemy?"

Shen Yu bowed down and said: "Think twice, Your Majesty. I don't know the terrain of Linye and the desert, and I have little contact with the soldiers. If I go there, I may not be able to convince the crowd for a while and delay the battle."

Emperor Longde looked at the top of his official hat and said: "Oh? I also think what Ai Qing said is reasonable, so I will listen to Shen Qing."

Shen Yu kowtowed, "I dare not, His Majesty will make the decision."

Emperor Longde waved him to go down, and he never excused him from the beginning to the end.

Shen Yu withdrew, and after returning to the mansion, she sent a letter to Concubine Shen, asking her to try to find out if the emperor had received any news recently.

Concubine Shen Gui could hardly protect herself.

Her own daughter was taken out without even seeing her, and the boy she got in exchange was weak. She was anxious in her heart, and secretly forced the imperial doctor to administer harsh medicines to hang him, which was enough to delay Shen Yu's life. In time, she still has to act like a loving mother, holding a handkerchief and weeping in front of Emperor Longde when she has nothing to do, and she has done a lot of praying to God and worshiping Buddha, but Zhuang Jing is not in peace, she has been confined for a long time, her reputation is in the The clan has been completely ruined, and any prestigious family in Beijing is unwilling to welcome such an ancestor. Although Emperor Longde cherishes her, he really can't find anyone who is willing to hire her, so he can't let her out. She thought that in a year or two, the rumors outside would disappear, and she would marry her again, but Zhuang Jing couldn't wait.

Zhuang Jing is not much younger than Xiao Jiu, Xiao Jiu is already 21, Zhuang Jing is naturally not young, although she is an emperor, but she is still an old girl, her good age has just passed by like this, how can Zhuang Jing Not reconciled, she hated Zhong Shuo and Xiao Jiu in her heart, and vowed to marry ten times better than Xiao Jiu, so that she could overwhelm him. This kind of ambition gave Concubine Shen a headache, and she couldn't let her dream. When Yu heard the news, he wanted to intercede for Zhuang Jing, and it would be better if he was released as soon as possible and married, but no one dared to say anything to the royal family.

Emperor Longde became suspicious of Shen Yu, and seeing Concubine Shen was not going well even with his relatives and hometown. In the evening, Concubine Shen pressed his shoulders for him and said softly: "Your Majesty has not been very cheerful recently, and he has eaten less, but Bai What's wrong with the day?"

Emperor Longde didn't look at her, closed his eyes and said, "Don't you know?"

Concubine Shen's strength remained the same, she said with a smile: "The concubine is in the deep palace, the only thing she worries about every day is her husband and children, what should I know?"

Emperor Longde said: "Don't ask if you shouldn't know, the woman doesn't understand either, look at the Ninth Prince more, the imperial doctor said it's not good, you bother."

Concubine Shen Gui hit a soft nail, Emperor Longde never treated her like this, he always regarded her as his wife...

She stopped asking, and just said: "Yes, the concubine is only worried about His Majesty's health, and the concubine of the Ninth Prince has also been taking good care of her, so there is another matter."

"Yong Mu has been married for nearly a year. Zhuang Jing is only a little younger than her. Now she is old. She knew she was wrong. She begged every day to see her father. Why don't your majesty release her first? She hasn't I've seen the Ninth Prince, so it's fine to tell her to take a look at my younger brother."

Concubine Shen Guifei's face is elegant and beautiful. In the past, Emperor Longde would have no reason to speak in such a soft voice, but now it sounds a little harsh. Emperor Longde didn't want to pay attention to her, and said impatiently: "The Ninth Prince is so young, It's not appropriate to meet outsiders, and she has lost such a big face, how can she be so embarrassed to beg to see me? Why don't you reflect on your mistakes and think about coming out all day, and then come out to embarrass me?"

Concubine Shen Gui hit a hard nail this time, she was wronged for a while, tears came out all at once, the pear blossoms were raining, she looked pitiful, she had cried enough these days, Emperor Longde became even more impatient, and reprimanded her a few words , simply went back to Zichen Palace and fell asleep by herself, leaving Imperial Concubine Shen to cry enough for herself.

The next day, Emperor Longde issued an imperial decree to crusade against Qianghu, and officially named Zhong Shuo the admiral of Linye, and also the general of Huaihua, commanding the soldiers of Linye, and then dispatched 2 troops from Beijing to reinforce Linye. A lot of things were sent to Linye with the army.

The imperial decree did not go to the cabinet, and there was not even a word in the court. He drafted the decree himself, read it in the court, and sent it to Linye without any delay. Zhong Hanjiang's official position.

Looking at the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, the only one he can trust now is the Zhong family. In the past, he also knew something about Shen Yu's false claim to Zhong Hanjiang's military exploits. It was Yong Mu who had a lack of heart and deliberately caused trouble, and the most important thing was to gag Xiao Jiu's mouth and prevent him from having a fit.

When Zhong Shuo received the imperial decree, most of his wounds were healed, but Xiao Jiu was still careful, he was laid down on the couch to rest after daily military training, and he didn't have to think about holding a sword.

Xiao Jiu didn't call Zhong Shuo when he received the decree, and only after arranging the person who announced the decree did he enter the tent with the medicine.

After Zhong Shuo was injured, he had been recuperating in the barracks in order to facilitate the scheduling of military affairs. Xiao Jiu simply moved here and changed to a bigger couch to take care of him.

Zhong Shuo was lying on his stomach looking at the defense map outside Yumen Pass. Xiao Jiu helped him up and drank the medicine before giving him the imperial decree on the tray to make a doily, and said with a smile, "Now he is a general of the third rank."

Zhong Shuo read the imperial decree and said, "It's all the same, as long as His Highness is happy."

Xiao Jiu sat beside him, letting him lean on his shoulder, being careful not to touch his wound, and said: "This time he is very happy, I am afraid that he has already interrogated the assassin and became suspicious."

Zhong Shuo said: "It's just right, as long as you don't delay defending against the enemy."

Xiao Jiu glanced at the deployment map in Zhong Shuo's hand, and said, "The emperor appointed Jiang Xi as a food transport officer, and he is probably on his way. It's hard for him to know how to appease the Jiang family."

Zhong Shuo took his hand, "Brother Jiang is fine if you come over, I can leave it to him to take care of you." It is best to keep an eye on Xiao Jiu so that he does not follow him into the battlefield.

Xiao Jiu hummed, and said: "The situation in Beijing is good, the Ninth Prince's health is better, Shen Guifei was anxious to give him strong medicine, the emperor didn't know, Song Yan got the dregs of the medicine, and informed Xiao Gong, let him put it away."

Zhong Shuo hesitated to speak, Xiao Jiu said, "I know you want to ask Song Yan how she is, she is very good, and Xiao Gong also treated me well, she was ill a year ago, and did not suffer any serious grievances. , everyone in the palace is watching her."

Zhong Shuo said: "Songzhu has Songyan in his heart, so he dare not ask you directly, so I will ask for him. With your words, Songzhu can rest assured."

Xiao Jiu said: "Don't worry about your Highness, it's fine." He called Xi Wen in to collect the medicine bowl, and said: "Heal your wound quickly, the scouts you sent out are back, the next time the barbarians attack It’s not far away, the emperor knows that you are young and still asks you to support yourself, probably because he wants to take some mistakes so he can handle you and me, you must be careful, it doesn’t matter if you make mistakes, take care of yourself first.” The more Xiao Jiu thought about it, the more he felt that the emperor had something wrong He was very worried about the plot.

Zhong Shuo said helplessly, "Your Highness, I joined the army for fifteen years and am now a veteran. Your Majesty's decision-making is fine, but you should be more careful in the desert. Thank you, Your Highness."

Xiao Jiu muttered, "Who knows what the Emperor has in mind."

Zhong Shuo gently wiped a little lip balm from the corner of his lips, and said, "Your Highness is worried about me, I know that."

Xiao Jiu took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped his fingers, saying: "It's good that you know, be careful in everything, put yourself first, and think about me more when things happen, do you want me to be a widow?"

Zhong Shuo was amused by him, "I don't want to part with it, I want to stay with His Highness all the time."

Xiao Jiu suddenly approached him, kissed the corner of his mouth softly, and then slowly deepened, lingering and entangled, the two fingers intertwined, gradually fascinated by the sound of gold and iron clashing of soldiers practicing swords and guns outside, Xiao Jiu pressed his hand Caressing Zhong Shuo's cheek, feeling the temperature under the palm, kneading gently, deeply loving.

When Zhong Shuo and Xiao Jiu parted, the tips of his ears were already red, and Xiao Jiu's blush was still on his lips, and the red spots blurred at the corner of his mouth. When the box came out, I reapplied the lipstick myself.

Xiao Jiu's eyebrows and eyes were still meticulously drawn, both men and women are very good-looking, Zhong Shuo looked at him and said, "Your Highness, I will fight the war quickly, and after everything is over, you can resume your manhood, and we can live a good life, shall we? "

"Okay, I'll listen to you."
