Who says sleep is not spiritual practice?

Chapter 283 In the name of this princess, let them go!

revenge?

The lieutenant shrank his head and smiled resentfully.

A few months ago, he was lucky enough to enter the pinnacle of the Fate Star Realm thanks to the pills piled up by Shangshu's father. In order to get the current seat that only the Haoyue Realm is qualified to secure, his father owed a lot of debts. How much gold and silver was stuffed!

The father has high hopes for him, and he also promised that as long as he fulfills his duties in this position, he will be promoted to a rank within three years. The lintel of glory.

As for Dad's title of Minister...

Naturally, it was reserved for his half-brother, and it would never be his turn to covet it.

Young masters and young ladies in the powerful family are divided into high and low. Not everyone can be valued. It is not bad for someone like him who has been painstakingly paved by his father. More people can only become ordinary people, or join the forbidden The guards ate and waited to die.

For example, most of the imperial guards who died outside the inn together with Dong Shen were young masters who were not valued in the powerful family.

One of them was his half-brother.

The lieutenant general remembered this younger brother, whose mother was a maid, and it was the old man who accidentally fell asleep with him after being drunk, and then got pregnant by accident.

This kind of thing is very common among the rich and powerful, and most of them are sent with some money, causing her to abort the fetus, or let her be born as an illegitimate child and raised, but the lieutenant's father is still a bit responsible, so he gave it to the maid The status of a concubine allowed her to give birth to the fetus safely, provide food and drink for her, and never treat her badly.

However, maybe because his mother is just a maid and her status in the family is not high, so that younger brother has always been a bit distorted. The servant girl vented her anger, and not long ago she did something like robbing a civilian girl, and the father spent a lot of money to settle the trouble!
This time, he died outside the post station, and he got the retribution he deserved.

Originally, there were many sons like this father, and it was nothing to die, but as far as the lieutenant knew, when the father heard the news of his brother's death today, he was so sad that he passed out. The first thing he did after waking up was He yelled at the Prince of the North, saying that he would read a book before His Majesty, and accuse him of the crime of refusing to save him!

But on weekdays, the father obviously doesn't pay much attention to this son, does he?
Suddenly, Xue Fang asked:
"Tong Rui, I heard that you have a younger brother who is also in that Imperial Guard?"

The deputy general named Tong Rui sighed softly:
"Yeah, dead too."

"My father fainted after hearing the news today, and he was in a daze when he woke up. If the aunt hadn't stopped me, I'm afraid that my father has already crawled to the gate of the city, and he is going to reprimand the prince of the North in the street!"

Xue Fang sneered, glanced behind, and found dozens of dignitaries supported by others from the crowd:
"Is it?"

"It looks like there will be a good show today."

Given his status, it is not difficult to know that there is actually a hand behind all this.

The death of a thousand imperial guards, the origins of those men in black, the dignitaries who died as bastards but pretended to have all their children dead, and the fact that he was transferred to the north gate not long ago...

Everything is for the purpose of creating a gap between the dignitaries and the King of the North and his son!

Xue Fang still remembered that not long ago, a killer from Xingyu Pavilion sneaked into his mansion, and sent a letter, which said that Jing Yang, the founding emperor of the Chu Kingdom, had turned the Bone Underworld King of Nanman into a giant python monster, He used tens of thousands of people to feed each other, and finally was killed by Xingyi, the master of the Meteorite Pavilion, and the abbot of Nanshan Temple, the Sixth Patriarch.

Xue Fang did not believe this at first, but his intuition told him that this news could not be groundless.

After Xingyi Town killed Gu Ming, he had already started to break through the fifth innate level. Once he succeeded, Jing Yang would no longer have the strength to shock the whole world by himself.

At that time, the King of Rejecting the North is likely to rebel!

That's why Jing Hong was in such a hurry to create a gap between the dignitaries and the King of the North and his son, and express his loyalty to him!
"Perhaps, I should remind my brother and ask him to get in touch with the people in the Meteor Pavilion."

"In this way, if the Jing family finally falls, our Xue family will not be liquidated!"

"As for today..."

"If you refuse the prince of the North to enter the capital, the group of dignitaries whose son died will definitely take the opportunity to make things difficult."

"There are eagles and dog eyeliners all around. I have to show enough loyalty to the Jing family and create enough hatred with the Jubei Palace, so as not to arouse His Majesty's suspicion."

Thinking of this, Xue Fang glanced at the lieutenant beside him, and said:
"Tong Rui, when the son of the Northern King is refused to enter the city later, let the brothers target it a little bit, so as not to see blood, but they have to slow down the speed of their group entering the city, so that the group of dignitaries have enough time to perform."

"Performance?"

Tong Rui was slightly taken aback.

Xue Fang patted him on the shoulder and chuckled lightly at the same time:
"if not?"

"You don't believe that your father fainted because of the death of a son?"

"..."

Tong Rui frowned slightly, seemingly puzzled.

"Hey, let's study for a few more years with this commander, the officialdom is not so easy to mess with!"

Xue Fang patted his shoulder again, and then walked in another direction above the city.

There stood two figures, facing north, with their backs to the others, dressed in the garb of the Praetorian Guards, but out of place with the rest.

One of them has a luxurious temperament. Even though he is wearing a standard armor and covers most of his face with a helmet, he still exudes the temperament of a superior person, making people unable to help but kneel down and submit.

The other person was a little half a step behind No.1, bent slightly, playing with a poisoned dagger in his hand, his eyes were cold, and he kept scanning his surroundings, only showing a hint of anger when he occasionally looked at the person beside him. soft.

"your Highness."

Xue Fang walked behind the two of them, clasped his fists and bowed:
"Your Highness has already received a message from His Highness the Crown Prince. You don't need to disguise yourself. You can use your true colors and identities to welcome the Prince of Rejecting the North. No one will blame you!"

"As for your marriage with Mr. Fan Yu, it's over."

Those two were Jing Li and the young eunuch Yan Gao who sneaked out of the palace.

Hearing that the marriage was abandoned, Jing Li couldn't help but tremble all over, not daring to say:
"Really?"

Xue Fang nodded and said:
"It's absolutely true, His Majesty also said that he would not pursue the faults of you and Young Eunuch Yan."

While speaking, he couldn't help but take another look at the other side's profile.

I still remember that when I saw this princess for the first time not long ago, it was the little eunuch next to me who had been explaining the pros and cons to me, asking me to help. From the beginning to the end, this princess didn't say a word, and never showed any weakness , just standing on the top of the city and looking to the north, his face is full of cold arrogance that rejects others thousands of miles away.

Later, when she agreed to help, the woman didn't say thank you.

Xue Fang originally thought that the princess had a cold personality, so she was reticent and indifferent to everything, but now it seems that this is not the case.

At least, giving up on the marriage made him emotionally fluctuate a lot.

"That's really..."

"Great."

Jing Li murmured to herself in an inaudible voice, and at the same time let go of her hands that were tightly clutching the corners of her clothes:

"Yan Gao, now I won't drag you down so much."

Beside him, the little eunuch played with the dagger in his hand as before, and said nonchalantly:
"What did His Highness say?"

"You are Yan Gao's master. In the palace, it is only natural for a servant to die for his master, not to mention that you just asked me to do a little favor."

A little busy?

Jing Li shook her head lightly.

In order to successfully avoid the surveillance of eagle dogs and come to the north gate to meet the son, Yan Gao almost exhausted the favors he had accumulated over the years, and even owed a lot of favors in the name of his adoptive father Yan Songyu!
For example, Xue Fang behind him reluctantly agreed to let them pretend to be imperial guards and go to the top of the city because of Yan Songyu's face.

Of course, Jing Li originally had no hope of sneaking out of the palace and coming to the north gate.

Even if she did come here in the end, she didn't think it was the little eunuch's work alone.

After all, Yan Gao was young and his martial arts cultivation was not high, so he could only be regarded as talented. Even if he had a adoptive father who was ranked second among the top ten eunuchs, he couldn't get rid of the fact that he was a lowly eunuch.

Taking the princess away from the palace privately, or even... escaping from marriage, this adds up to a heinous crime, no one would become an accomplice for the favor of a little eunuch.

Therefore, there is someone behind this incident to help me!
Jing Li couldn't figure it out before, but now he finally understands after hearing Xue Fang's explanation.

It turned out that that person was Prince Jingyuan!

He is also the son born of his aunt and biological father!

For Empress Murong Jin, this aunt, Jing Li is still grateful. If it wasn't for the other party's secret care, her biological mother, Murong Yao, would have lived a miserable life in Bingfeng Palace, and it was impossible for her to live in the North Palace. In the 12th year of An Sheng's life, I met Jiang Qingyu, a sick son.

Therefore, she also had some kindness towards the son born to her aunt.

"I must thank my brother face to face if I have the opportunity."

Jing Li murmured softly.

The next moment, she turned her head slightly, glanced at the people in the city, paused for a few moments on the smiles on their faces and the flowers and wine in their hands, then looked away, and finally stopped on the group of dignitaries with ugly faces.

Just listen to her coldly said:

"Commander Xue, since this princess came to the north gate, this group of people has been arguing endlessly. Some are crying, some are insulting, and some have moved the coffin to the street to block the official road."

"As the leader of the North Gate, shouldn't you take care of it?"

"..."

Xue Fang was speechless.

Looking at the sharp-tongued Jing Li, he suddenly felt that the other party was a little strange at this moment, but he also thought that the other party was a member of the royal family and was born with a respectable status, so he quickly responded:

"Your Highness, crying and insulting in the street is not against the law!"

"As for moving the coffin to the official road..."

"I heard that some dignitaries died of their sons, and they were distraught, so it is understandable to do such a thing. Is it too unreasonable for the subordinates to stop it?"

Unexpectedly, Jing Li raised her head slightly and said proudly:
"You don't need to come forward, let them go in the name of this princess!"
