The Legend of the Loved One

Chapter 40

After being raised for nearly a month, Concubine Jing's health finally recovered, and Chu Xue stopped entering the palace every day.

There are too many right and wrong in places like the harem. As a side concubine, she shouldn't go there often. She used to take care of Concubine Jing as a last resort. Now that the queen has been deprived of power, Concubine Jing is good. As the highest-ranking concubine, it is only natural. There was no time for him to take care of the Six Palaces, and Chu Xue just stayed in the backyard of the palace with peace of mind.

She was the only female relative in Nuo Da's palace, and this was the first time she had such an experience since she married Song Chen, which made her both fresh and comfortable.Of course Song Chen is very busy, but she can also go to his study when the front yard is clean, bring him a bowl of sweet summer soup, pass a plate of cool melons and fruits, rub his back and shoulders for him, and wait for him After resting for a quarter of an hour or two, he said goodbye and went back to his yard.This is something she would never do in the crowded Yanzhou.

Then, when dinner was served, they waited for his return at the door, and the two of them sat down at the dinner table hand in hand and ate together.

In fact, a lifetime of a couple, isn't it just such an ordinary and peaceful life, this return to Beijing finally made her experience the feeling of monopolizing him that she might never have again in her life.

Today, she personally made a bowl of lily and mung bean sweet soup. She only added a little rock sugar, which just overwhelmed the astringency of the mung bean. into Song Chen's study.

Song Chen has been discussing important matters with people since he received a secret letter from Liangzhou in the morning, and he has just finished his lunch. Seeing her coming with sweet soup, he tensed up In the morning, his expression finally calmed down a bit.

While he was eating the soup, she lightly squeezed his shoulders. Her hands were gentle yet firm, and the squeeze was very comfortable. He enjoyed it for a while, fearing that she would be tired, he pulled those little hands With soft hands, he hugged the person to his lap.

"I've been busy these days, so I left you out."

He looked at the beauty in his arms and stroked her face with the back of his finger.

"It's good that the lord is busy with your work, don't worry about the concubine." She smiled softly.

"Okay." He kissed her lightly on the face and promised, "I'll stay with you for a while."

She nodded slightly, the corners of her lips curved deeply.

After staring at her for a while, he suddenly felt moved, and whispered in her ear: "Why don't you stay and rest with me before leaving?"

She became alert all of a sudden.

Things have been on his mind recently, he hasn't touched her for several nights, the current posture is actually very easy to get angry, if it is at night, it's fine, but this is in broad daylight, and he is still in the study...

She immediately struggled to get up, but was held tightly by him again.

Seeing that her big hand had slipped into her skirt, her face flushed red, and she said in a low voice: "My lord, this is the study... Wait until the evening, how about..."

"I haven't touched it for a few days, why does it seem to have grown up?" He ignored her persuasion, but pretended to be provocative, and his voice became hoarse.

She was so familiar with him that she knew that struggling was futile, and was about to close her eyes to accept it, but she heard the sound of communication outside the door.

"My lord, there is a guest here."

His hand stopped, and she also got up quickly.

It's lunch break time, usually no one will visit, but whoever chooses this time to come basically has important things to do, she understands this, straightens up her appearance, and says to him: "Since the prince has something important to do, my concubine will go back first. "

The situation is delicate these few days, Song Chen knew that this was the most critical moment, and he couldn't slack off, so he nodded and let her go back.

Song Chen was overjoyed when he heard who came to see him.

It was Qin Mu and his son who came.

After returning to Beijing this time, after going through several turmoil, there are already a large number of people who have turned to him, but most of them are civil servants.Although the imperial court has not fought for many years, and the father has also taken back the military power, but if he ascends the throne in the future, the support of the generals is also indispensable, and it can even be called crucial.

Of course he has military power in his hands, but that is in Yanzhou. Now in Beijing, he only has one general, his wife and brother Xu Jilin. Now that Qin Mu came to see him, he must have the intention of surrendering. In this way, he will have more available generals.

Who is Qin Mu?His Qin family army, together with the former Yue family army, once pacified the northern border for the imperial court, preventing those barbarians from invading for many years, and only in exchange for the peace and prosperity of Daqi Jiangshan these years.

If Xu Jilin was granted the title of Marquis of Pingnan because of his meritorious service in quelling the war in southern Xinjiang, Qin Mu could also be given the title of Marquis of Pingbei, but because of his close contacts with the former Yue Lan, the thorn in Yue Lan's throat was hindered. However, Emperor Jianhe never sealed him, but this did not affect his reputation as a general.

As a general who has made great military achievements and made the barbarians in northern Xinjiang fearful, he has never shown favor to anyone for so many years. He has always been neutral in the court, so it is not easy to get him now.

Not to mention his son Qin Yuan.

Qin Yuan himself is a talent, not to mention still in the Jing Wei Division.

And what the Jing Wei Division can mobilize is the tens of thousands of troops that are close to the capital, which is really not to be underestimated.

Song Chen immediately cheered up and greeted Qin Mu and his son.

When Chu Xue exited the study, the servants were guiding Qin Mu and his son over. Qin Mu caught a glimpse of her figure through the verdant flowers and trees in the yard.He paused in his heart, the last time he saw her was at the palace banquet last year, he didn't know her identity at that time, but now everyone in the capital knows that King Heng only brought his favorite concubine Chu with him this time, Qin Mu naturally knew Who is the figure flashing in front of his eyes.

Wenwen, it's great to see you alive!
How much Qin Mu wanted to step up to take a closer look at her, to take a good look at the only remaining blood of the Yue family, but now is not the time to recognize each other.

He sighed silently in his heart, turned his head to look at Qin Yuan behind him who didn't know, feeling indescribable in his heart.

If he hadn't misunderstood Chu Lin all the time, and he was a stranger to Chu Lin, he might have had the opportunity to meet Wenwen, and Wenwen wouldn't have to marry into this bottomless palace. The one who loves her should be his own. family!
But now there is no turning back, and for Wenwen's sake, he has to participate in this coming storm.

Qin Mu raised his head, with determination in his eyes, and walked into King Heng's study.

Three days later, at the end of the ugly hour, Funing Palace.

The chaotic footsteps woke up Emperor Jianhe and Concubine Jing in the bedroom.Emperor Jianhe opened his eyes from his sleep, the hall should have been pitch black, but there seemed to be a restless light and shadow outside the tent.

Jianhe Emperor felt a little uneasy, sat up on the bed and called out in a deep voice.

But no one responded outside the door.

Concubine Jing, who was hiding behind him, had clearly sensed the strangeness of the atmosphere, and tentatively said, "Your Majesty..."

Emperor Jianhe raised his hand and stopped her words, but his expression in the dark was extremely ugly.

Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded outside the door, "Father, please wake up, please forgive my son for being unfilial, my son is coming in now."

As the sound fell, the door of the hall was pushed open, and immediately after the lights in the hall were lit up, a person opened the curtain.

The person here is the prince.

Dark clouds covered Emperor Jianhe's face, and he looked coldly at his son who dared to trespass into his bedroom.

Unsurprisingly, the prince did not intend to salute him, but just stood a foot away and looked at his father.

Concubine Jing exclaimed, "Prince, you..."

"What do you want to do?"

Emperor Jianhe asked him in a deep voice.

The corner of the prince's mouth curled into a slight smile, and he said: "My father must have already guessed what my son wants to do. Father, you have pushed me too far. Now I have to do it myself. My son, I want to get back what belongs to me." My son's own stuff."

"Your things?" The father's eyes were somewhat inexplicable, and he said coldly: "I have already given you all your things, and what I haven't said before is all my own..."

"Including this?" The prince raised a golden object in his hand, interrupting him for the first time in his life.

The two people on the bed took a closer look, and the crown prince was holding the jade seal dragon seal that was supposed to be in the Imperial Study Room of Qinzheng Hall!Concubine Jing immediately reprimanded: "Prince! You are so disrespectful, you will be cast aside by all generations!"

"These words, you should tell your son!" The prince sneered, and turned to look at his father, "Father, not only this dragon seal, but now the entire inner court of the harem is under the control of my son. Oh, by the way, there will even be the entire capital later. If you still think about our father-son relationship, please write a letter of succession now and pass your dragon position to Erchen, then Erchen will pass on You and Concubine Jing will be sent to a quiet place to spend your days, where no one will disturb you..."

Before he could finish speaking, Emperor Jianhe sneered, interrupted and asked, "What if I refuse?"

The prince really laughed at this moment, he said with a smile: "If you don't want to, I can only wrong you to wait in Funing Palace for a while, and when I get the third son, I will send you and Concubine Jing's family The three of us will go to the West Paradise to bliss."

"Rebel!"

Emperor Jianhe finally roared out the fury in his heart.

But this is no longer the usual, the person who used to kneel down when he saw him get angry is no longer the prince in front of him, the prince smiled again: "Father, don't blame my son's disobedience today, it was all forced by you!" , your mother has been married to you for more than 30 years, and you kicked her away mercilessly after using up her natal family... Besides, I heard that you also used this method to sit on the dragon chair, so it seems that, son The minister is just imitating you."

"What's more, I'm still the prince and your successor. Don't worry, I will definitely manage our Daqi and Song clan better than now, and you will definitely smile at Jiuquan."

"Only you?" Emperor Jianhe also laughed, he sighed and shook his head, "You don't know how much you weigh? If it were Ji Ting, I might still believe it, but you..."

As soon as Emperor Jianhe mentioned King Heng, the prince suddenly became impatient, and he interrupted his father again, "If you don't believe me, don't believe it. Since you like the third child so much, I will bring him here now, so that you The three of you should reunite sooner."

After finishing speaking, he threw off his dragon-patterned wide sleeve and went straight out of the palace gate.

Everything about the palace change tonight is in his plan. Right now, he only needs to wait for the troops mobilized by Zeng Xin to surround Hengwang's mansion and arrest Hengwang. At dawn, he can directly ascend the throne and sit on the seat that he has been waiting for for more than 30 years. Dragon chair.Anyway, the sixth king, King Rui, had brought people to meet him outside the capital, and the fifth king, Shen Wang, was already on his way. Even if the third brother's Yan army had traveled thousands of miles to the capital, the distant water could not save the nearby fire.

What's more, he will never let the third child live until dawn!
The assassination in the dense forest of Luzhou last time was because he didn't plan it well. He didn't expect that the mere guards around King Heng could kill two hundred of his dead soldiers. But tonight is different. No matter how powerful King Heng's mansion is, He didn't believe that he could defeat the five thousand elite soldiers in the capital!
As for the beauty next to the third child, well, I can taste it first, and when I get tired of playing, I can reward the fifth child directly, after all, I also wooed him in this way in the secret letter.

Just when the prince's wishful thinking was right, Heng Wang really took advantage of the night to come outside the palace gate, but he was not arrested, but came here with three thousand soldiers.

As for Zeng Xin from the Jingwei Division, Qin Yuan has already restrained him in a guard somewhere.
