Daughter of General

Chapter 226 Turmoil
In this oppressive atmosphere, it was hard to survive the New Year's Eve, and it was spring.At this time in the past, the young masters and ladies who have been bored all winter will start their spring outings.So it was inevitable that the capital city would gradually become lively.

It's just that this year... even in spring, the pedestrians on the street are still hurrying, few and far between.

Whether it's common people or aristocratic families.They all strictly controlled their own children and were not allowed to go out easily.

Due to the saint's illness, when the dragon raised its head on the second day of February, the Imperial College presided over a grand ceremony.To pray for the saints.In fact, everyone sincerely hoped that the saint would get better soon.

But obviously, this grand blessing did not play its due role.

The saint's condition worsened once again.He didn't even have the ability to read the scriptures, so he only ordered Concubine Rong's son, King Yun, the ninth prince, and the fourth prince to supervise the country together.

The three princes are in charge of the country together, together with the ministers of the DPRK and China, naturally there will be no problems when dealing with state affairs.But the bad thing is that the three princes are not working together, but rather separate.The saint has no experience and no ability to take care of these things, so naturally he can only follow suit now.

At first, the three princes checked and balanced each other, and they all just started supervising the country, so they lived in peace for a while.But after a period of time, each began to reveal its clues.

Every time Shen Yulan heard the news that the three princes were at odds again in the court, she couldn't help sighing: It would be strange if they could reach a unified opinion if they were doing their own thing.If things go on like this, how can the country not be affected?I'm afraid the impact is really big!

Even, Shen Yulan figured that if she couldn't do it, she would go to the village in the countryside to avoid the limelight.In this way, although it cannot be completely unaffected, at least it will not be affected too much.It's just... she couldn't bear to leave Qi Yuzhou behind like this.

Now Shen Yulan is looking forward to one thing every day: the sage had better get well quickly, or die quickly so that the new emperor can ascend the throne.Otherwise, it will be a torture for everyone if you spend it all the time.

But who knows that the old sage has been suffering like this, and he refuses to drive the crane west.

Shen Yulan could only helplessly and passively continue to live in this atmosphere.

And in this atmosphere, the news of Shen Junzhi's return to court also came back.Now, it is estimated that at most one day, Shen Junzhi will definitely be able to come back.

Upon hearing the news, Mrs. Li didn't dare to stay with Shen Yulan any longer, and went back to Shen's house in a hurry.After all, it is definitely impossible for Shen Junzhi to live with his daughter when he comes back, and he must go home.Before that, it must be right to tidy up and prepare and love.

However, Shen Yulan, Jing's brother, stayed behind: "Ming'er's father comes back, and I will take it with me directly. Auntie is busy, and he is in the way. Anyway, here, I will also be a companion. I Grandma likes him too."

Putting it here with Shen Yulan, Mrs. Li has nothing to worry about.To put it bluntly, the Shen family is not as at ease here as Shen Yulan.Shen Yulan took care of the house and made the house look like an iron bucket, how could it be worrying?As for the Shen family, a large group of servants, scattered like sand, each worked for their respective masters.It's not reassuring at all.Otherwise, Shen Yulan wouldn't have taken over Mrs. Li back then.

Li Shi wanted to take care of it, but thinking about his own identity, he didn't care about it.Just wait for Shen Junzhi to come back.

Now Shen Junzhi is finally coming back.Mrs. Li felt that her good days had finally come.

In the evening, Shen Yulan went to tell Mrs. Guangwuhou about going back to her natal home the next day.She wasn't afraid that Mrs. Guangwuhou would disagree, but she just thought that since she was in the same family, saying it also represented respect, didn't she?

Mrs. Guangwuhou naturally wouldn't disagree, but immediately took the initiative to find a lot of things for Shen Yulan to take back, including two big boxes for food.He said again: "I'm a woman, so it's not good to go to see your father directly. Yu Zhou's father, you know, is unreliable. Yu Zhou can't go now, so you should apologize to your father for him."

Shen Yulan responded with a smile, "Mother doesn't have to worry about these things so much, my father is not a rigid person. Besides, Yu Zhou is so important, he is afraid that it is too late for him to be happy." After a pause, he lowered his voice mysteriously Said: "Among the three sons-in-law, Yuzhou is the most promising. My father must be very happy."

After hearing this, Mrs. Guangwuhou couldn't stop laughing.

The two were talking, but they suddenly heard a loud noise.All of a sudden, they stopped talking, and listened suspiciously.

"Listen, why is it so like setting off firecrackers?" Mrs. Guangwuhou looked puzzled: "Who is so unruly and dares to do this in the mansion."

Shen Yulan was in doubt, but her heart sank when she heard this, and she slowly shook her head: "No, it's not a firecracker. I'm afraid it's the sound of cannons. The sound just now came from the gate of the city—could it be someone Siege?"

As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Guangwuhou's face immediately changed, and she suddenly panicked: "Then what should I do?"

Shen Yulan could only respond with a wry smile: What can she do?Let it be cold.What else can I do besides staying at home?I just don't know what kind of situation Qi Yuzhou is in now.

It's just that, with such a big battle at the gate of the city, the palace... I'm afraid it's not optimistic.I just hope that no matter what happens, Qi Yuzhou is safe and sound.As for the others, it doesn't matter what kind of glory, wealth, or power.

After all, Mrs. Guangwuhou is not an ignorant woman, she was only startled for a while, and then gradually calmed down; "The left and right are just a few princes vying for the throne, thinking about it, we should be fine, our place is remote, and we don't rely on the streets. , surrounded by other houses, it should be safe. But since there is such a big fight, I'm afraid the saint has..."

Shen Yulan nodded.Even if the sage was still holding his breath, the princes would not dare to make such a big fight.

However, in the end it was their wild guesses, so Shen Yulan still asked people to go outside to see the situation.

During this period, there were several shellings at the gate of the city.Scary enough.

Not long after, the person sent out to investigate came back, his face turned pale with fright, "Reporting to Madam, there are many people outside now. There are soldiers, and there are also unidentified men in black. I inquired about it, and it turned out that the Ninth Prince sent people to surround the city." Martial law, the other princes are attacking the city outside the city under the banner of the Qing emperor!"

Shen Yulan sighed: "It seems to be a fierce battle." What martial law and the side of the Qing emperor?It's all just trying to fool the people.Its real purpose is to seize the throne.From this point of view, most saints...

Not caring about any more worries, Shen Yulan ordered sharply: "From now on, I will guard the second door, the back door, and a few small corner doors, and no one is allowed in! In addition, The people in the mansion are also obediently not allowed to walk around! If there is someone who knowingly commits a crime, he will be thrown out, regardless of life and death! Also, it is not allowed to gossip, talk about what is there and what is not. It is not allowed to fish in troubled waters and try to steal chickens and dogs! Once you find out, it's still the same sentence, drive you out of the house, regardless of life or death!"

The people below hurriedly responded and sent a message.At this time, listening to the sound of bombardment outside, no one dared to be slighted.

Shen Yulan stared closely at the busy servants, but her heart was bored and worried.

Mrs. Guangwuhou probably saw her thoughts, and sincerely persuaded: "Okay, don't think so much. The boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge. Both Yuzhou and you are blessed, and we must be safe and happy."

Shen Yulan forced a smile: "I hope so."

At this moment, she suddenly understood why the old sage had lasted so long since he was sick.The old sage, I'm afraid he had already expected such a day.Therefore, he held on.I waited until everything was properly arranged and all the people who were supposed to come came before I dared to relax.

As for who is waiting... there is no need to say any more, it must be Shen Junzhi.Shen Junzhi returned to the court with an army of one hundred thousand.With this [-] troops, the capital will naturally be suppressed firmly.

It's a pity that it still hasn't arrived.

However, in fact, it can be regarded as waiting.After all, by tomorrow afternoon at the latest, Shen Junzhi must have arrived at the gate of the city.At that time, no one will be afraid of rebellion.

But the problem now is that Shen Junzhi hasn't arrived yet.Until then, let's hope nothing happens.Of course, the best situation is like this, and there is another situation that when Shen Junzhi arrives, the matter has already been settled.In that case, Shen Junzhi's return is tantamount to coming back to support the new king.

Shen Yulan sighed: At present, surviving Shen Junzhi's return has become the biggest problem.

"Mother, should we think about it first, where should we hide if it comes to the most critical moment?" Shen Yulan looked at Madam Guangwuhou with some embarrassment: "Although it should not be affected, but everything is just in case. What do you say?"

"You're right." Mrs. Guangwuhou nodded, "I just don't know if there was a secret road when the house was built."

"It's useless," Shen Yulan shook her head: "If someone really wants to harm us, he must know this house better than us. After all, this house was originally a gift."

Mrs. Guangwuhou's complexion was a little bit ugly: "Yes, in this way, I really can't hide in the tunnel."

Shen Yulan supported Mrs. Guangwuhou, and said firmly: "I have a good idea, but I have to wrong my mother."

"There's nothing wrong with that." Mrs. Guangwuhou laughed, "At this time, of course, life-saving is the most important thing."

"Mother, change into your mother-in-law's clothes, and hide in the vegetable cellar in the kitchen with a few elderly nuns. Even if someone enters the house, you will definitely not think of this. You bring water and food. , In this way, you will not be afraid of anything. Even if you take a step back and you are really discovered, you can still pretend to be a woman working in the kitchen." Shen Yulan whispered in Guangwuhou's ear.The matter is so important that the less people know about it, the better.

Mrs. Guangwuhou gradually sensed something: "You mean, you don't want to be with me?"
