Zhe Chuntang: She regretted it after provoking crazy critics of powerful officials

Chapter 23 I drank too much

News came from the palace that the eldest princess Chongning made provocations in Lanxiang Palace in the name of coming to apologize, which made Concubine Gao, who was weak after giving birth, so angry that she became seriously ill and died suddenly within a few days.

Xiaocui, the palace maid beside her, valued love and righteousness and died as a martyr for the Lord.

The government and the public were furious when they heard about it, and jointly submitted a letter to His Majesty to severely punish the eldest princess. Under pressure, the emperor ordered to reduce her fiefdom and banned her for a month. He copied scriptures in the princess's palace to pray for Concubine Gao and the young prince.

Everyone said that the eldest princess, who had been full of evil, finally angered the emperor and was going to fall. People were running around telling each other and celebrating, as happy as the New Year.

On a hidden path on the outskirts of the city.

Three women were wearing hoods, and two fast horses were tied not far away.

"Your Highness, the eldest princess, don't send me away any more. Xiao Cui and I will take care of him. We just have one more thing to ask for. I would like to ask the eldest princess to take care of my grandfather in the capital."

Gao Rulan looked in the direction of the imperial city, her eyes a little worried, but when she looked into the distance, she became determined again.

"It's natural. It's not convenient for him to go out of the city to see him off. He's afraid of being seen. I asked me to hand this over to you." Shen Yuluo took out a military talisman, which was only as big as the palm of his hand and heavy. It said "Gao ", "There are old members of the Gao Family Army in various military camps in the north. Although they don't recognize you, they must recognize this sign and will take more care of you two."

After all, they are two weak women. Not to mention the hardships and dangers along the way, if some people with malicious intentions discover the identity of the women, they may end up in a miserable way.

This brand was acquired through bloody battles by generations of generals from the Gao family, and no one would question its weight.

"Your Highness helped me get out of the palace. The grudges between you and me have been evened out. But the rest are a great favor to me. If Da Qi regains his lost territory one day and I can come back from the border alive, I will definitely repay the princess for her great kindness." Virtue."

Gao Rulan took Xiaocui and knelt down together, kowtowing solemnly.

Such a thing that risked the disapproval of the world, something she had fantasized about countless times in her dreams but did not dare to really think about it, the eldest princess resisted on her own and did it for her. For her, this kindness Heavier than life.

No matter what others say about this eldest princess, in her heart, she is a good person.

The two of them thanked him again and again. Seeing that it was getting late, they picked up their packages and got on their horses.

"I believe that the lost land of Daqi will be recovered one day. I am waiting for you."

Shen Yuluo waved to the two people and shouted with a smile.

In fact, no one can be sure what the road ahead will be like, but after all, people need a sense of faith to support themselves in exploring and moving forward on the dark path.

Seeing that the backs of the two people riding horses were blurry on the trail, Shen Yuluo turned back and prepared to drive the carriage back home.

As soon as she reached the carriage, she suddenly heard a chuckle from above her head——

Looking up, there was no one around.

Just when she thought she heard wrongly, a man sat up on the courtyard wall that was partially blocked by branches.

The man was wearing a dark purple cloud-patterned python robe. He looked like a member of the royal family, and he should be a prince.

It's just that the man's overall temperament is really not like that of a prince. He holds his legs up carelessly, holding a piece of straw in his mouth, and his raised eyebrows reveal a bit of romance.

"Who is the emperor's niece giving this gift to? She doesn't even say hello when she sees Uncle Seventeen?"

King Huai Jiang Chongxiao jumped down from the wall with a bottle of wine tied around his waist. He quickly held on to it and almost spilled it.He is the youngest son of the ancestral emperor, barely a few years older than the current emperor. He has never been married, so he has never had a fief and lives in this imperial city.

Since he had no important position and was not involved in government affairs, he just wandered around all day long.

"I've met Uncle Seventeen."

Shen Yuluo was shocked by him. He hadn't thought of a word yet, so he simply saluted, said nothing else, and waited to see what would happen.

She didn't know much about His Royal Highness Prince Huai, and even the former Jiang Yin Yue, the two rarely interacted with each other.I only know that he likes to travel, is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is very popular in Shengjing.

"I thought I had drunk too much, but I actually saw the deceased Concubine Gao appearing here... Tsk, has the clear sky in the clear day seen a ghost?"

King Huai patted his head, as if he had really drunk too much, but Shen Yuluo could see his poor acting skills at a glance.

Shen Yuluo stared into his eyes and smiled innocently: "There is no such thing as a noble concubine. My niece just sneaked out to play when she was bored. The emperor won't tell anyone, right?"

She felt that the other party did not have any malicious intent, otherwise she would have jumped out to stop him just now, instead of watching the excitement and waiting for the person to go far away before speaking out.

"Ah, that's it. It seems that I have drunk too much. I wonder if we can ride a carriage back to the imperial city together? I feel confused after drinking too much. I tend to run around easily. I don't know why I ended up here. Here it comes.”

As expected, King Huai did not expose her, but the two of them started playing Tai Chi.

He doesn't like to meddle in other people's business, he just likes to have fun. He has no objection to anything that doesn't affect his eating, drinking and having fun.

"Okay, then I'll ask Uncle Seventeen to be a groom and send my niece back."

Shen Yuluo patted the reins, turned around and got into the carriage.

King Huai didn't know that his imperial niece was so interesting. It seemed that his boring life was about to become interesting again.

He took the reins calmly and sat outside the carriage, with one leg hanging down.

"I heard that the emperor's niece has done a lot of big things recently and caused a lot of trouble in the city. Aren't you worried that it won't end well?"

King Huai chatted with her in a brisk tone, as if he was chatting with her after dinner at a farmhouse.

Shen Yuluo was a little drowsy. He was indeed too tired these past few days, so he closed his eyes and mumbled in reply: "Whatever, just do what you think in your heart and live up to the conscience of heaven and earth. Uncle Seventeen Ah, stop talking, I'll take a nap."

Everyone said that the eldest princess Chongning had eighteen tricks, seventeen of which were used to cause harm. Unexpectedly, she was so trusting and unguarded in her uncle, an emperor she had never met, and would sleep with him whenever he wanted.

This eldest princess is really a strange person.

King Huai took a sip of wine, with a smile on his lips, and subconsciously slowed down, letting the horse walk slowly so that the man inside could sleep more peacefully.

The days are short in winter, and by the time we reached the city gate, it was already getting dark.

At this time, there were very few people leaving the city and entering the city. Ordinary people had already packed up their places to stay. There were only a few merchants who were delayed in delivering goods and hurried in on time.

"Who is it? The Prime Minister has ordered that enemy spies have been sneaked into the imperial city recently. The whole city is under martial law. Please cooperate with the inspection!"
