Lord, I have

Chapter 702【】Linglong article:

At this time, the Yangcheng Imperial Palace was already in chaos. Concubine Xiao Gui knelt outside Fengqing Palace and refused to get up when she learned that the emperor named the second prince the Northwest King and was leaving for Jingcheng in the northwest.

Yan Luchen was unwell recently and did not go to the court. The affairs of the previous court were all in the hands of King Chen. The situation in the court was unknown, and many officials secretly speculated how the emperor was injured by the second prince.

Empress Wen saw Yan Luchen sitting at the table reading the memorial, "Your Majesty, Concubine Xiao Gui is still kneeling outside!"

Yan Luchen raised his head and glanced at her, "Let her kneel, otherwise she won't know that I have made up my mind."

Empress Wen hesitated, "The emperor really wants the second prince to go to the northwest?"

"En!" Yan Luchen looked down at the memorial.

Empress Wen didn't know what Yan Luchen was thinking, "Your Majesty, Jingcheng has long been out of the realm of the imperial power. The second prince's going here is probably..."

Empress Wen didn't say these four words, let alone Xiao Guifei kneeling outside the palace begging, if it was her son who was sent to that kind of place, she would definitely be kneeling all the time.

Yan Luchen took a pen and annotated on the memorial, "Have someone tell Concubine Xiao that the imperial decree has been issued and there is no possibility of changing it. If she wants to, she can prepare it for the second prince. The road over there is difficult and you have to go through the desert."

"The concubine, let people go." Seeing that Yan Luchen had made up his mind, Empress Wen didn't want to persuade him. After all, she wasn't her own son, and she couldn't be like Concubine Xiao.

Xiao Yu had never kneeled like this before in her age, and her molars ached when she saw the closed gate of Fengqing Palace.

No matter how useless or disliked the second prince is, he is her only son. She has been in the palace for more than 20 years with only one son. Now the emperor wants to throw her son to a place like Jingcheng where there are many gangsters. How can I rest assured?

"Your majesty, you can't be so cruel. The concubine is just such a son. Your majesty!" Concubine Xiao Gui cried as she knelt in front of Fengqing Palace, and the maids and eunuchs beside her also knelt there and cried together.

The palace gate of Fengqing Palace opened, and Yicai, who was beside Empress Wen, came out.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty asked your servants to tell your Highness that Jingcheng is a long way to go across the desert, so please help the Second Prince prepare more things that will be used on the road."

"Where's the emperor? I want to see the emperor." Concubine Xiao Gui wiped away her tears and stared at Yi Cai with red eyes.

"The emperor is unwell and will not see anyone, please be considerate of the imperial concubine."

Concubine Xiao stood up and ran into Fengqing Palace, but unfortunately her legs were numb after kneeling for too long, if it wasn't for the people around her to support her in time, she would definitely fall to the ground.

Seeing this, Yicai blessed Fushen and returned to Fengqing Palace. After the palace gate closed, she heard Concubine Xiao's roar.

Concubine Xiao bit her lip with hatred on her face, flicked her sleeves and took someone to see the second prince.

Yan Tianjiao was dumbfounded after the imperial decree came down. Although he had been released from the palace and returned to the Second Prince's Mansion, there were a group of people around the mansion that made him unable to escape even if he wanted to.

"Your Highness, it's my subordinates who have harmed you." Chu Ba knelt in front of Yan Tianjiao and cried bitterly, his whole body wrapped in bandages.

"Get up, this palace may be doomed to die like this." Yan Tianjiao sighed.

He was not afraid of going to the northwest, nor was he afraid of any bandits. What he was most afraid of was that what he had promised Du Ruoyi would not be able to do.

He clearly agreed to stay by her side when she gave birth, but if he went to the Northwest, he would have no way to see her, and she would think he was a ruthless person.

"On the eighth day of the lunar new year, will you pass by Sunan when you go to the northwest?"

Chuba lowered his head, "No."

One is in the south and the other is in the northwest. It is not the same way no matter how you go.

Yan Tianjiao picked up a pen and wrote more than [-] pieces of letter paper, describing what happened after he returned to Yangcheng. At the end of the letter, he told Du Ruoyi that he went to the northwest to deal with the rogues there, and then went to Su Nan looks at her and the child, hoping she won't be mad at him.

After washing the letter and sealing it with wax, he called the dead man beside him, "Winter Solstice, no matter what happens, this letter must be handed over to Du Ruoyi."

"Yes!" Winter Solstice took the letter and left directly.

If he returned from southern Jiangsu in time and could catch up with His Highness who was going to the northwest earlier, he had to hurry up.

Seeing Dongzhi leave on the eighth day of the lunar new year, I couldn't help being anxious, "Your Highness, your subordinate is injured like this and you let Dongzhi leave. What if there is danger along the way?"

"It's not like there are other people. Although their skills are not as good as yours, they are still masters. Don't worry." Yan Tianjiao felt that sending a letter to Du Ruoyi during the winter solstice was more important than protecting him.

On the eighth day of the eighth day, there was nothing to say, "Your Highness, please discuss it with the imperial concubine!"

"My concubine has been worrying about this hall for more than twenty years, and now she is worrying because this hall is not filial." Yan Tianjiao sighed, and seemed to have grown up a lot overnight.

"Your Highness, the imperial concubine is here." The guard of the Second Prince's Mansion knocked on the door and reported.

Yan Tianjiao frowned, his mother and concubine must have come because of his going to the northwest, and he wondered if he would be beaten by his mother and concubine?

"Tianjiao!" Xiao Guifei appeared in front of Yan Tianjiao with a trembling voice.

"Mother Concubine!" When Yan Tianjiao saw Concubine Xiao Gui, he wanted to rush over, but when he thought of the injury on his face, he immediately turned his back.

Concubine Xiao Gui had already seen the wound on his face, and she rushed over in a rage.

"Let mother and concubine take a look, what's wrong with this face?" Concubine Xiao held Yan Tianjiao's face with trembling hands, seeing that the wound was a whiplash, Concubine Xiao's heart was about to break. "How can the emperor be so cruel, my son!"

"Mother Concubine, I'm all right, I don't feel any pain now." Yan Tianjiao was almost suffocated by Concubine Xiao's neck, and couldn't help but comfort him.

"It's such a long wound, you haven't married yet, what should you do if the scar is left?" Concubine Xiao Gui was worried about her son's disfigurement in the future.

When Concubine Xiao Gui didn't say anything, Yan Tianjiao didn't feel serious yet, when he heard Concubine Xiao's words, Yan Tianjiao stretched out his hand to cover the wound on his face, maybe it was a bit severe and hurt him so much that he gasped.

It's over, what if the injury on the face can't heal?Ruoyi is so beautiful, how can he deserve it?
"Mother and Concubine, I used Bingyu Snow Skin Cream, shouldn't there be any scars?" Yan Tianjiao was not sure.

"I hope so!" Concubine Xiao twitched twice, "Your father is too cruel, and wants to exile you to Jingcheng."

"Mother and concubine, it's not exile. Didn't the father make his son the king of the Northwest?" Yan Tianjiao was quite optimistic.

At this time, if he is not optimistic and says what his concubine wants, I don't know how uncomfortable his concubine will be?
"What is the Northwest King? Jingcheng belongs to the place where the three do not care, and the military power of Yan Kingdom and Gao Nanguo cannot be involved there. Although it is still the city of Yan Kingdom, it has long been out of the jurisdiction of the imperial power. Your father asked you to go to the well." The city simply wants you to die."

Concubine Xiao showed hatred in her eyes, "How could he treat you like this?"

"Mother Concubine, this incident is also my fault. I shouldn't have hurt my father." Yan Tianjiao didn't want Concubine Xiao to resent Yan Luchen. After all, his mother and concubine would stay in the palace for the rest of his life. If you don't punish the son, what if other brothers do the same thing as the son? You don't hate the father, it is a good thing that the son takes the opportunity to go to the Northwest to practice."

Concubine Xiao Gui cried even more sadly when she saw that her son became sensible all of a sudden, "If you had thought this way earlier, why did so many things happen? My son, if you go there, how will mother and concubine live?"

Yan Tianjiao hugged Concubine Xiao Gui and patted her on the back, "Concubine Mother, wait for my minister to wipe out all the bandits over there and build Jingcheng into a paradise, how about you go and see my minister?"

"Okay!" Concubine Xiao Gui cried even louder.

Yan Tianjiao was also a little sad, he leaned his head on Concubine Xiao's shoulder and closed his eyes.

Concubine Xiao Gui asked someone to write a letter to her father, asking Xiao Shangshu to arrange more experts to accompany the second prince to the northwest.

It was a long way from Yangcheng to Jingcheng, and she didn't want anything to happen to her son on the way, so she brought more people with her, at least they could help her in unexpected dangers.

The whip wound on Yan Tianjiao's body has almost healed in half a month, and the wound on his face still looks a bit hideous. Concubine Xiao Gui sent someone to send him a lot of Bingyu Snow Muscle Cream for him to use as face wash .

The soldiers who had followed him since he was a child were all ready, and those who were injured on the eighth day of the eighth day were a little bit serious, but they were almost healed in more than ten days.

Yan Tianjiao didn't prepare too many things, and it didn't cost much to stay in the posthouse on the way from Yangcheng to Jingcheng. He felt that it was cumbersome to bring too many things, after all, he had to go through a big desert.

Everyone in the court thought that the second prince went to the northwest because he hurt the emperor and was exiled by the emperor, so on the day Yan Tianjiao set off to leave, no one was willing to see him off except for the Xiao family from the Ministry of War.

Yan Tianjiao told Concubine Xiao not to come see him off, fearing that he would be too sad and easy to cry, which would affect his mighty image, and in exchange for Concubine Xiao's heavy beating.

Before leaving, Yan Tianjiao knelt down in the direction of the palace, kowtowed three times, got on the horse, bid farewell to the Xiao family and left Yangcheng.

After Yan Tianjiao left, several dark shadows followed from a distance, and at the same time, the person hiding in the dark sent a letter to the palace with flying pigeons.

　The second prince has set off~~~
