The Cultivator's partner went off track all the way

Chapter 553 Crusade and mutiny

On the surface, Xiguo looks calm and peaceful, only the privacy in the backyard is unknown.

Naturally, there were people in the third prince's mansion who couldn't see that Xiaobai, the side concubine, was getting more and more favored, and the one who felt the most uncomfortable was the concubine.

She went home many times and asked her parents how to get rid of Xiaobai. She resorted to constant plots and tricks, but Xiaobai easily resolved them all, which made the real princess feel very sick.

Her methods were directly exposed by the third prince several times. In front of everyone, he mercilessly reprimanded her and left her cold for a long time.

Now the only consolation for the princess is that Xiaobai has no child of her own so far, maybe it is because of physical problems that she cannot conceive a child.

The concubine in the harem did not give birth to a prince, no matter how much she did, she was just making a wedding dress for her child, so she would naturally have the opportunity to deal with her in the future.

But what the princess doesn't know is that this is also in Xiaobai's calculation.When the prince grows up and the monarch is still young and strong, the prince is a threat, just like the eldest prince and the third prince, they are the thorn in the monarch's side.

Two tigers fight each other, and the younger and weaker tiger will definitely not be able to compete with the big tiger.But it's much easier to deal with an old tiger.

The Taoist priest said that a cultivator is in good health, and there is no problem in giving birth at an advanced age, and the more advanced her practice is, the more aura she will give birth to. Maybe she has a better spiritual root than her and can go further on the road of cultivation.

Even though Da Sikong's mansion has been urging Xiaobai to have a baby, she is not in a hurry, and only says that she is young, which makes Da Sikong very dissatisfied with her.

She didn't talk much to Da Sikong, but only explained to the third prince. The third prince agreed with his approach very much. You must know that one of the important reasons why he married Xiaobai in the first place was to get a descendant who could cultivate immortality.

On weekdays, apart from doing her own things, Xiaobai was listening to Tang Yue explaining Taoism scriptures. She understood that life is short, and every moment is meaningful. Became a good state of mind.

However, she has a stable mind and is not in a hurry, while others are in a hurry.

The first is the third prince. An unemployed prince must be eager to inherit the throne, but his father has no signs of weakness. No matter how anxious he is, he has to pretend to be indifferent to the world to avoid being killed by his father.

His elder brother didn't pretend to be very good. He had already been warned several times and took back his authority.

Apart from him, the concubine is the one who is most anxious. The monarch is in good health, and there is no sign of the king changing at all.

And he also frequently visits the harem, there are many children, the older one looks like the eldest prince, who is almost thirty, and the younger one is the two sons and one daughter who were just born in the palace this year.

On the surface, the monarch seemed to treat these children equally and gave them the same treatment. Even the princesses studied in the palace school with the prince.

In fact, because there are many children, he doesn't pay special attention to any of them, and the palace staff can take care of them.In the future, it will be like raising Gu again, let his children fight and choose the strongest one.

What makes the imperial concubine even more uneasy is that in recent years, the monarch has become more and more fond of Concubine Rui, who was born in the general's mansion. She has a 15-year-old prince and a [-]-year-old prince.

The monarch loves his youngest son so much that he hugged him to watch the courtiers discuss the performance. Many people rumored that the monarch intended the seven-year-old prince to inherit the throne, and it was even rumored that he wanted to make Concubine Rui his queen.

The noble concubine feels that she is in danger now, there are wolves in front and tigers in the back, and at her age, it is not easy to have children, she also loves the third prince very much, and she will definitely let her sit on the throne.

As a result, her little love for the monarch became even less, and she thought day and night how to make her child ascend the throne as soon as possible, so that she could become the most honorable woman in the country.

At this time, news came from the court that the monarch wanted to lead troops to conquer a small country next to him.The imperial concubine thought over and over again, and decided to start from this point.

Concubine Rui's father was originally a war faction, as long as she secretly helped him and facilitated this matter in his name, then what happened afterward would have nothing to do with her.

In recent days, the general felt that there were more and more people supporting him in the court. He thought it was the people who were greedy for life and afraid of death. They finally woke up and realized that only by owning more land can they bring greater honor to the country.

Most of the opposition parties in the court were settled secretly by the imperial concubine's father and the third prince. The two of them made a promise that the aristocratic family would not suffer too much loss.

To achieve this, in fact, as long as the ministers do something about it, mainly to let those main battles send food and troops, it can be solved.

In the past, they were hesitant to use this tactic because the civil servants were afraid of the power of the general, and no one dared to take the lead.

Now that Concubine Rui's father and the third prince took the lead, they felt much more at ease, and faintly sensed that a storm was coming, and it was time for a change of power.

Tang Yue couldn't think of such a concealed method. It was the work of the imperial concubine's biological father, Da Situ.He is also a scheming politician who keeps a low profile and knows the country's political affairs like the back of his hand.

On weekdays, be careful not to offend others, but when it comes to the critical moment, you can hit it with a single blow.

Under the impetus of all parties, the king decided to attack the small country next door in the early spring on the third day of March. The reason is that the country has not paid tribute to the country of Xi for decades, which is disrespectful.

The monarch of the small country who received the letter of requisition was shocked when he got the letter. Since his father's generation, this small country of theirs has never paid tribute to the country. How could there be a country to pursue the offering?It is clear that they want to annex their small country.

The small country has been able to survive among the big countries for many years, thanks to the elite soldiers trained by the monarch's grandfather and father. Because of the existence of this army, the big countries dare not attack the small country, fearing that the gain will not be worth the loss.

It was the same this time, when the lord of the Xi Kingdom was marching in person, he encountered desperate resistance from elite soldiers. The battle was very difficult, and many people lost their lives.

In order to fulfill the concubine's promise to the aristocratic family, she and her father secretly replaced all the noble disciples in the army with death row prisoners, and told them that if they returned alive and made meritorious service, they would be pardoned and even promoted.

As a result, hope of life appeared in the eyes of these suspects who were destined to die, and they desperately killed the enemy on the battlefield. In short, they had no way out.

But the small country's elite soldiers were much stronger than this gang of mobs. Xi Country didn't take advantage of its large number of people, but got entangled with the small country's elite soldiers tiredly.

Tang Yueyin was watching from the sidelines, and she could also see that the King of Xi Kingdom was not good at fighting. He probably regretted why he did this at this time.

When the battle was in full swing, a sharp arrow hit the monarch's right shoulder, and he hurriedly covered it up, pretending that he was not hit.

If his injury was exposed in front of the three armies, and the army's morale was in turmoil, these people might leave him and run away, and even lose.

Thinking of the consequences, he could only grit his teeth and wait until the eldest prince came to support him. In the end, he won miserably and took down the small country.

The gold, silver and treasures he got were not too much, which was enough to cover the military expenses this time, and the elite soldiers of the small country he coveted were all killed in battle. This war meant that he had gained nothing.

Not only that, because of his delayed treatment, his injuries worsened, and he fell into a coma in the army directly, with a high fever, hovering between life and death.

At this time, the eldest prince who held the military power felt that this was an excellent opportunity to seize power. He killed his father, forged the will, and led the troops back to the capital. This world is his.

The eldest prince's officials all supported his decision, thinking that this was an opportunity not to be missed.
