Chapter 102 Such a choice, why?

The Holy Majesty was slightly taken aback by Mrs. Jing's look.

Liang Gongli, who was beside the Holy Majesty, put his hands together and seemed extremely nervous.

"Tell me?" The Holy Majesty suddenly felt guilty because he was in the sight of this village woman for some reason.

When Mrs. Jing took a deep look at him, she lowered her head somewhat disappointed, "Father of Nian'er...he..."

At this moment, the Holy Spirit couldn't help, even the Yang family stared closely at her sideways.

For so many years, she has never mentioned who that man is, is she finally going to say it now?
Mrs. Jing didn't speak.

It seemed that a string was stretched in front of everyone, and it was stretched to the tightest.

As soon as she spoke, the string snapped.

Liang Gongli looked at her more nervously than everyone else. Seeing her blushing, she pursed her lips and said nothing. He was even more anxious than her.

"Forget it..." The Holy Majesty shook his head suddenly, "It's fine if you don't want to say it, I'm not a person who likes to force people. Xiao Shizhen will order people to take good care of her."

"My lord, don't go!" Mrs. Jing shouted.

If the Holy Majesty left at this time, she would never want to see Xiao Yuzhuo again.

She felt uneasy, this secret that she had hidden for so many years, is she really going to say it now?
Can you really hide it anymore?
"Reporting to Your Majesty..." Mrs. Jing tremblingly said, "Nian'er's father, his father is..."

"Eh? Your Majesty, did you ever find Mrs. Jing's face familiar?" Liang Gongli suddenly interrupted Mrs. Jing's words, and asked while holding His Majesty's hand.

The Holy Majesty glanced at Liang Gongli, and then his eyes fell on Mrs. Jing's face.

"It seems a little familiar?" The Holy Majesty whispered.

"Your Majesty, why don't you ask Mrs. Jing to report alone?" Liang Gongli clasped his hands.

The Holy One nodded in agreement.

Stepping into the hall, Yang's family was expelled from the hall.

When Liang Gongli stepped forward to help Mrs. Jing get up, he realized that she was shaking all over.

She seemed very nervous.

Liang Gongli helped Mrs. Jing up, stepped forward a few steps, and knelt down one step away from the saint.

"Your servant will leave." Liang Gongli bowed his head and said.

The Holy Majesty smiled, "You are my confidant, should I avoid you?"

Liang Gongli hurriedly kowtowed, "Your Majesty loves you so much, and this servant is very grateful."

He got up and closed the door of the hall, and stood guard at the door, but was far away from Mrs. Jing and the sage above.

"Let's talk." The Holy Majesty looked at Mrs. Jing.

Mrs. Jing summoned up her courage a few times before she said slowly, "Does your majesty remember being in the back garden of the eldest princess's mansion more than 20 years ago?"

The Holy Majesty was slightly taken aback, and looked at Mrs. Jing inexplicably.

Mrs. Jing raised her face slowly, and there were tears in her eyes.

The Holy One looked deeply into her face, deeply into her eyes, "Why are you crying?"

"The Holy Majesty really doesn't remember? That year, by the lotus pond, the Holy Majesty was drunk in the pavilion..." Mrs. Jing couldn't continue, two lines of tears hung on her face.

His Majesty was inexplicable, with a dazed look on his face.

Liang Gongli felt that he was slightly sweating with the palm of his hand pressed against the palace door.

"How could I still remember what happened more than 20 years ago..." His Majesty didn't finish his sentence.

Mrs. Jing burst into tears, "My maid can't say... I'm afraid no one will believe me if I say it, and it will bring him unreasonable disaster. My maid just wants him to survive, but my maid is working hard alone and suffers alone. As long as he can survive well, it's worth it..."

The Holy One opened his mouth and looked at Mrs. Jing who was in pain and lost her composure.

"My lord, more than 20 years ago, my lord once had a banquet at the eldest princess's mansion, and got drunk in the gazebo by the lotus pond in the back garden. Fortunately, the maid at the eldest princess' mansion..." Liang Gongli whispered suddenly.

The Holy One was stunned.

He looked at Mrs. Jing who was crying bitterly, and then at Liang Gongli standing at the entrance of the hall.

After a while, the hall was so quiet that only Mrs. Jing's crying could be heard.

The Holy One felt as if something had slammed into his heart.

"You...you mean...Jing Yannian, he is...my child?!" Sheng Shanghu questioned, with disbelief evident on his face.

Mrs. Jing sat on the ground limply from crying and didn't speak.

The Holy Majesty looked at Liang Gongli again.

Liang Gongli hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "No wonder people in the palace often say that Jing Yannian's facial features and aura are somewhat similar to Shengshang."

"Is it my son?" The Holy One murmured.

"Really, mine?"

He was in a trance and hadn't recovered yet.

The hall was quiet, and the quiet time was dragged on for a long time.

The Holy Majesty got up suddenly and walked out. When passing Madam Jing, his steps never stopped.

"I don't believe it!"

The Holy Majesty stopped suddenly when he walked to the entrance of the hall, "Take care of Mrs. Jing alone!"

……

Mrs. Jing couldn't see Xiao Yuzhuo, but her ears were cleared, and Mrs. Yang could no longer make noise in her ears.

She originally wanted to keep this secret for the rest of her life.

Didn't even think about saying it.

"Liang Changshi!" Someone outside saluted.

Mrs. Jing raised her head when she heard the sound, and saw Liang Gongli, the personal valet next to the Holy Majesty, came back to visit her again.

She quickly knelt down and saluted, "Thank you, Chang Shi, for speaking for me in the hall today."

Liang Changshi shook his head, "Madam, don't you remember me?"

Mrs. Jing frowned slightly, "You are?"

Liang Gongli smiled, "Madam doesn't remember, but Zajia doesn't dare to forget. Let me tell you later, Zajia doesn't understand some things. Madam has been refusing to reveal General Jing's life experience. Why?"

Mrs. Jing sighed, "I have no intention of clinging to you at all. Even if I said it at that time, I was just a concubine in Prince Xiang's mansion. Whether I can give birth to the child smoothly is a matter of two opinions. Your Majesty was originally drunk...if someone says that I was clung to indiscriminately, it will be even more difficult to explain."

"Then what happened later? After the child was born, why didn't Madam go to Prince Xiang's Mansion to recognize relatives?" Liang Gongli asked.

"After the child was born, I was even more reluctant to part with this child. I don't want to be separated from the child. If he returns to Prince Xiang's Mansion, he may be taken to other people's place and not asked to take care of him." Mrs. Jing sighed, " I think, even if I suffer a little and suffer a little grievance, as long as I can depend on each other for life with my children, even if I live a poor life, I will also be happy."

Liang Gongli nodded, "So, madam, didn't you expect the general to be so successful?"

"Yes, I never thought about this, I just want him to live well." Mrs. Jing said.

Liang Gongli snorted, "Now is the time when I have to say it, but I can't guess what the Holy Majesty will choose. After all... Madam also knows that there are now King Ji and King Yue. For the position of heir, King Ji and King Yue are fighting openly and secretly. , Your Majesty already has a headache."

Mrs. Jing nodded again and again, "I have no delusional intention to ask the Holy Majesty to admit his identity. I just want to meet Mrs. Xiao and watch the birth of my grandson with my own eyes. I just want to ask the Holy Majesty to give them a way to survive. After all, they are also..."

Is it also the flesh and blood of the Holy Majesty?

Liang Gongli nodded again and again, "Madam, don't worry, the miscellaneous family will speak well in front of the Holy Master. As long as you know what Madam thinks, the miscellaneous family will know."

"Thank you Chang Attendant!" Mrs. Jing quickly respected Fushen.

Liang Gongli hurriedly dodged, "Madam can't worship the miscellaneous family! It's the miscellaneous family who worships the wife!"

"No no, I'm not..."

She is not yet a concubine, and she has never dreamed of being a concubine.

Liang Gongli bowed his hands to her earnestly, and then stepped out of the palace gate step by step.

Liang Gongli was the number one celebrity in front of the Holy One, even in front of the beauties of Zhaoyi in the palace, he was not so respectful.

On the contrary, women who want to fight for favor are especially polite to him.

……

"What do you think, Your Majesty?" Liang Gongli asked in a low voice after reporting back.

"Did she really say that? Didn't she mean to compete for favor?" Sheng Shanghu asked.

Liang Gongli nodded quickly, "That's what she said, I'm afraid that General Jing's success today is not what she wanted."

His Majesty narrowed his eyes and thought for a long time, "I have thought more than once that if Jing Yannian was my child, it would be great... King Ji and King Yue have their own strengths, but their personalities are not as similar to mine. , his temper is not as good as his congeniality with me... no wonder no wonder!"

Liang Gongli bowed his head and listened.

The Holy Majesty slammed the case table.

Liang Gongli was so frightened that he quickly knelt down, "Your Majesty, calm down."

"How can I calm my anger! That's my grandson! My grandson! What's the result of the autopsy?" asked the Holy One.

Liang Gongli quickly lowered his head to answer: "There is indeed one burned corpse in Xiyuan in public, and there is a small skeleton inside..."

His Majesty's eyes became hot, and he covered his face with his hands.

After a long time, he let out a long sigh and put down his hands.

"Preach my will, Linglong will die, the sixth princess..."

The Holy Majesty sighed, "Relegated to common people."

……

When Linglong was executed with a cane, Li Huizhi went to see her.

When he came back, he was so frightened that he hid in his own palace, not daring to come out.

Before she died, Linglong glanced at her, her eyes were too frightening, as if she would not rest in peace, and would come to her even after she died.

Li Huizhi hugged the quilt and hid on the bed, trembling all over.

She heard that the Holy Majesty was going to demote her to a commoner.

"Princess, Your Majesty has granted you two days of time. You should hurry up and pack your bags and leave the palace." The palace man outside urged me lukewarmly.

Li Huizhi lay on the edge of the bed and couldn't help retching twice.

Fearing that the palace people outside would hear it, she quickly covered her heart and endured it.

She knew that as long as she was quietly sent out of the palace, the Holy Majesty would tell people that the sixth princess died of illness.

There is no more six princesses in this world, no more Li Huizhi.

Why did things become like this?

If she leaves the palace, what else can she do?
Will she still be useful to Mr. Yun?If she is useless, will Mr. Yun still keep her alive?

That Zhou Yanwu...what will he do to her?
The more Li Huizhi thought about it, the colder she felt.

……

The two-day deadline has expired.

Li Huizhi was stuffed into a carriage by the palace people and sent out of the palace quietly.

Since then, there will be no more six princesses in this world.

King Yue didn't care about the news that the sixth princess "died of illness", but took the opportunity to mention another matter to the Holy Majesty.

"I beg my father to allow my son to go to the fief Wancheng." The King of Yue asked for his order in the hall.

As soon as this remark came out, the sage was stunned.

King Ji was even more shocked.

Now the contender for the crown prince, he and the king of Yue are almost evenly matched.

Now that King Yue suddenly begged to go and went to Wancheng, didn't he voluntarily give up the fight for the throne?

"Why do you want to fief all of a sudden? I have allowed you all to live in the Chang'an Palace." The Holy One squinted at Li Tai.

"Reporting to the emperor, if the subject does not go to the fiefdom, he will feel restless and always hope for the glory that should not belong to the subject. I beg the emperor to grant my son, and I hope that the son will not enter the capital unless he is called." King Yue knelt down.

The Holy Majesty looked at him deeply, with shock and reluctance in his eyes, but more vaguely, there was peace of mind.

After all, the Holy One feels that he is still in the prime of life.

"Let me think about it again." The Holy Majesty did not agree.

Yue Wang Li Tai did not press too hard.

Exiting the gate of the palace, King Ji and King Yue walked towards the gate of the palace.

"Why do you want to leave Chang'an all of a sudden?" King Ji asked suddenly.

King Yue raised his head and smiled, "For some things, it's easier to give up than to persevere, and for some things, if you don't persevere to the end, you won't be reconciled."

Ji Wang was a little dazed by what he said, and looked at him deeply, "What do you mean willing? What are you not willing to do?"

King Yue smiled and raised his hand to pat King Ji on the shoulder, "Father has praised you for your talents many times. You are more suitable for that high position than me. I stay in the capital because I have the indisputable heart. Wanting to make a profit from it hurts our brotherhood. I only wish I would take a step back, and there will be a bright future between us."

King Ji looked at King Yue in shock.

But seeing the joy and relief on King Yue's face was not a disguise.

He raised his head and smiled lightly, his brows were full of joy, his face was already handsome, but now it was even more coquettish.

The Holy Majesty hesitated for a few days before agreeing to King Yue's request.

The King of Yue immediately packed his bags and prepared to leave Chang'an for Wancheng.

His fief is in Wancheng.

His biological mother Zhaoyi was about to faint from crying in the palace, and before he left to say goodbye, Zhou Zhaoyi held his arm and refused to let him go.

But he has made up his mind to go, and the imperial decree has been issued, how can Zhou Zhaoyi stop him.

It is not a trivial matter for the king of Yue to leave the capital to go to the fiefdom.

It has already spread throughout Chang'an City.

Liao Changsheng who was looking for Xiao Yuzhuo, Liang Sheng and Wei Ziwu all noticed the news.

"Go and explore King Yue's mansion, his other courtyard in Chang'an City, the farm outside the city! You go there yourself!" Liang Sheng instructed Wei Ziwu, "Don't miss any of them. He will suddenly choose to leave Chang'an at this time , I always feel that things are not easy."

Wei Ziwu cupped his hands, "Don't worry, brother, if Mrs. Xiao is really hidden by him, I will definitely rescue her!"

Liang Sheng nodded heavily, raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder.

Liao Changsheng also personally led people to visit Yue Palace at night.

When inquiring about Yue Wang's other courtyard, he bumped into Wei Ziwu who was leading someone.

Liao Changsheng recognized Wei Ziwu, and the two sides knew each other's identities as soon as they moved hands.

They didn't give each other a good face.

"They're all here to look for Mrs. Xiao, let's do it, it's someone else who will take advantage!" Wei Ziwu said.

Liao Changsheng snorted softly.

"Can you find out about the lady?" Wei Ziwu asked with his shoulders in his arms.

Liao Changsheng snorted softly, "I know and I won't tell you."

"Oh, if you don't know, just say you don't know, what are you pretending to do?" Wei Ziwu snorted lightly.

"How do you know that the lady is in the hands of the King of Yue?" Liao Changsheng raised his eyebrows and asked him.

Wei Ziwu chuckled, "I will know how you know. If you don't tell me, then don't ask me. Whoever finds the lady will go with the lady!"

"You! Nonsense! The lady is about to give birth, so naturally I want to send her to the general as soon as possible!" Liao Changsheng whispered softly.

Wei Ziwu curled his lips, "How do you know that my wife is still willing to follow you to find your general? He can't even protect her well, and can only make her fall into danger again and again. Why should she trust him?"

"You... this is a matter between husband and wife, can you talk about it?" Liao Changsheng gritted his teeth.

Wei Ziwu snorted disdainfully, "I won't talk nonsense with you, it's important to find a wife!"

Wei Ziwu led the people away.

Liao Chang blushed with anger, "We must find the lady before him!"

……

Xiao Yuzhuo calculated that he was indeed only a few days away from giving birth.

There is no strange feeling in the stomach yet.

The child writhed in her belly from time to time, and the feeling of connectedness was amazing.

"Did Zhuangzi prepare a midwife?" Xiao Yuzhuo asked Juxiang.

Ju Xiang nodded, "The servant girl went to inquire. The woman who lives in the courtyard is the midwife of the eight villages."

"Don't worry, lady, there will still be maidservants there, after all, Ju Xiang is a medical girl!" Mei Xiang clenched her fists and said confidently.

"I'm not afraid." Xiao Yuzhuo smiled.

"Lady! Please follow the villain to the carriage!" Yuan Jiangtao came to invite him suddenly.

Just as the midwife was talking, Xiao Yuzhuo's eyelids twitched when he suddenly saw him.

"Are we leaving?" She couldn't help asking.

Yuan Jiangtao nodded again and again, "Exactly, what else is there to explain, lady? But what's wrong?"

Seeing his nervous expression, Xiao Yuzhuo shook his head and said with a smile: "That's not true, it's just that I'm going to give birth soon, so it might be inconvenient to leave now."

Yuan Jiangtao frowned, looking anxious.

He glanced outside, "I am wronged lady, my master has already prepared a midwife to accompany her all the way, and the carriage has been changed to the most stable and spacious one, and I can go to Wancheng in five days!"

"Wancheng?" Xiao Yuzhuo was slightly taken aback.

Yuan Jiangtao seemed to have slipped his mouth, so he immediately shut up.

"He wants to take me to Wancheng? Why Wancheng?" Xiao Yuzhuo asked.

Mei Xiang's mind was spinning fast at the moment, and she whispered in Xiao Yuzhuo's ear: "His Royal Highness King Yue's fief is in Wancheng."

"Your Majesty actually allowed His Royal Highness King Yue to leave Beijing?" Xiao Yuzhuo was even more surprised.

Yuan Jiangtao glanced at her with his arms folded, and slowly replied: "Yes, His Majesty agrees."

Looking at Yuan Jiangtao's expression, Xiao Yuzhuo vaguely guessed something.

"When he goes to Wancheng, isn't he going to give up everything in Chang'an City?" Xiao Yuzhuo asked in a low voice.

Yuan Jiangtao did not speak.

Mei Xiang's servant girls gasped.

For the sake of his wife, in order to hide her, His Royal Highness even gave up the battle for the throne?
this feeling...

They looked at Xiao Yuzhuo earnestly.

How should the lady respond to this feeling?

"I want to see your master again." Xiao Yuzhuo said with a frown.

Yuan Jiangtao cupped his hands, "I can't do it now, my lady will get into the car with the villain, and I can meet my master tonight."

Xiao Yuzhuo hesitated.

"My lady, if you have anything to say, you can tell my master directly tonight." Yuan Jiangtao said again, "My lady please."

Xiao Yuzhuo's master and servant got into the carriage.

The carriage looks ordinary in appearance.

But when I sat in it, I realized that the carriage was thickened, and the axle seemed to have undergone special reinforcement treatment. As expected, it would be smoother when driving on the road, even if the speed was slightly faster, the bumps inside the carriage were not obvious.

The inside of the carriage was even more covered with thick bedding, soft and comfortable fur, and a huge pillow bag.

Xiao Yuzhuo sat carefully in the carriage for a long time, and then he gradually relaxed.

The child in her womb was not as precious as she had expected, and the bumps did not affect him in any way.

……

When King Yue left the capital, he was sent off by hundreds of officials, and he was sent ten miles outside Chang'an City before he stopped and watched King Yue and his party leave in a mighty way.

Riding on the horse, King Ji lowered his head and asked his followers, "Have you ever arranged the manpower?"

"Already arranged, always pay attention to King Yue's movements." The entourage replied immediately.

King Ji nodded, looked into the distance, and hooked the corners of his mouth.

The king of Yue just gave up the battle for the reserve position, so there must be something more important to him.

Only by grasping the weakness of King Yue can he firmly hold the winning ticket in his hands.

……

After King Yue and his party left Chang'an City, their speed gradually picked up.

When the night was about to fall, the waiter who was exploring the way ahead came to report, "You can stay at the front post house tonight, and the post house is quite spacious."

King Yue nodded in agreement, and the smile on his face hadn't dissipated since he left the capital.

When King Yue and his party arrived at the posthouse, there was an ordinary-looking carriage leaving the posthouse.

Passed by the chariots and horses of King Yue.

King Yue's eyes fell on the driver.

The driver of the car rushed to Wang Wei and nodded invisibly.

The smile on the face is bigger and bigger.

The king of Yue asked someone to find the post office and took over the entire post house.

He brought his servants and guards with him, and there were quite a lot of people, but the number of people who could live in the post house was limited, and many of them set up temporary tents outside.

And those who can stay in the posthouse are all the confidantes of King Yue.

When the king of Yue entered the post house, only the doors of the upper rooms of the two Tianzi rooms directly opposite were closed.

The king of Yue stood in the middle aisle between the upper rooms of the two Tianzi rooms.

He lowered his eyes and chuckled, hesitated for a moment, then turned to the left and knocked on the door lightly.

creak.

The door opens from the inside.

Mei Xiang stood at the door, frowning at the person who came, "His Royal Highness King Yue!"

Li Tai smiled at her, "Where's your wife?"

"It just so happens that my lady has something to say to the King of Yue." Mei Xiang didn't finish her sentence.

But someone outside shouted: "Who is it? Are you looking out there?"

King Yue's figure tightened, and he immediately backed out of the door, closed the door, and looked out from the side.

I saw a figure flashing past at the end of the corridor.

The smile on King Yue's face receded immediately, and he chased him a few steps himself.

Seeing that Yuan Jiangtao, who had driven the carriage away earlier, had already changed his clothes, he turned back.

The King of Yue immediately ordered, "No one is allowed to approach this place, anyone who pokes his head, take it down!"

Yuan Jiangtao surrendered.

Only then did King Yue return to Tianzijian where Xiao Yuzhuo lived.

Mei Xiang opened the door and looked out anxiously, "Who was it just now? Was it someone from the Holy One?"

King Yue stepped into the door, closed the door with his backhand, and then said slowly, "No matter who it is, I can't let him know the whereabouts of the lady now."

"Why? His Royal Highness King Yue didn't even ask my wife what she meant, so he made such a claim. Isn't it too impolite?" Mei Xiang said with a blushing face.

King Yue nodded, "Who said I should be polite to her?"

"You..." Mei Xiang was suffocated.

The king of Yue had already passed her and stepped directly inward.

Xiao Yuzhuo was sitting at the table eating fresh melons and fruits.

"You step back first, I have something to say to His Royal Highness Yue Wang." Xiao Yuzhuo said.

Mei Xiang's servant girls all retreated outside the door.

Li Tai sat down opposite her, "What do you want to tell me?"

"You want to take me to Wancheng?" Xiao Yuzhuo asked, "No wonder you said 'send Wangsun there again, it's full of love', you leave Chang'an, don't you plan to come back?"

"Are you willing?" Li Tai suddenly looked at her and asked.

Xiao Yuzhuo laughed, "I said no, will you let me go?"

Li Tai shook his head with a straight face, "No."

Xiao Yuzhuo smiled and nodded, "Then why ask?"

Li Tai nodded, "Yes, I didn't mean to ask you from the beginning, so naturally I don't need to ask in the future."

"What are you paying for, even giving up everything you have managed in Chang'an City?" Xiao Yuzhuo asked.

Li Tai looked at her deeply and didn't answer.

Xiao Yuzhuo hooked the corner of his mouth, "For me?"

Li Tai still didn't speak.

"What if I tell you that I will never be able to give you a response? All of you will be in vain, the opportunity in Chang'an will be lost, and you will not get what you want in Wancheng." Xiao Yuzhuo said with a smile, "If you regret it then, Is everything too late?"

"You don't need to remind me." Li Tai said, "I'm not doing it for you, you don't have to be sentimental."

Xiao Yuzhuo stared at her intently, the candles shone into her eyes, shining brightly and shimmering.

"Who is it, catch him!" Yuan Jiangtao's voice came from the courtyard outside the window.

There were sounds of fighting outside.
