Chapter 116 Grand ambition
Chapter 116 Grand ambition
Xiao Yuzhuo's encounters can be regarded as good intentions are rewarded.
Mrs. Qin was poisoned because of her snacks, and she was afraid that she would feel sorry for her, so she became more polite to her.
At the end of the banquet, when she was leaving, Mrs. Qin specially sent some gifts for her to take away.
And personally sent out the second door of the Qin family.
But in the world, not all good intentions are rewarded.
Jing Yannian had no choice but to leave his wife and children in the capital to fight for the great cause of the Holy One, which can be regarded as a heart of loyalty to the emperor, and this heart is also good.
But I don’t know if it’s good to pay back?
He had just arrived at Chang'an City, and before he even got to the palace, he heard news from the palace that the Holy Majesty thanked General Jing for fighting for the country, was brave and invincible, and gave the Turkic princess a marriage to Jing Yannian.
"General, the decree of bestowing a marriage came from the palace, and the Holy Majesty intended to mention it in front of all officials, and now it has spread in Chang'an City." Liao Changsheng first went to Chang'an to report the news of the general's return to Chang'an.
When he got the letter, he hurried back to tell Jing Yannian.
Jing Yannian was riding on a tall horse, his face was dark and ugly, his lips were tightly pressed, and he didn't say a word.
"General..." Liao Changsheng looked at his expression, feeling uneasy.
Before the general entered Chang'an City, his complexion was still very good, with joy on his brows.
But at this moment, there was a faint killing intent surging in the general's eyes.
"General, it's... time to dismount..." Liao Changsheng saw Jing Yannian riding his horse all the way to the gate of the imperial city, but he didn't stop his horse, so he couldn't help but remind him.
Hundreds of officials greeted each other in front of the imperial city gate.
Jing Yannian sat on the horse with an indifferent expression, showing no intention of dismounting at all.
"Welcome to the triumphant return of the general!" All the officials said, clasping their hands.
Jing Yannian took a deep breath, and looked at the high gate of the imperial city with cold eyes.
On the vermilion gate, there are golden willow nails, reflecting the sun, giving off a cool and noble golden light.
He snorted softly, got off his horse, ignored all the officials who came to greet him, and walked straight to the palace gate.
"The Holy Majesty is waiting for the general in the Palace of Qinzheng, please take off your armor and go to see him!" The servant waiting in front of the palace gate to lead him to see the Holy Majesty bowed.
Jing Yannian didn't even pay attention to the ministers who came to greet him, so why would he pay attention to a few servants?
Without even looking sideways, he went straight into the palace gate and headed all the way to Qinzheng Hall.
The servant was taken aback by him, but he wanted to stop him, but he didn't dare to stop him.
A group of people had to follow behind him, trotting after him.
The officials who were left hanging outside the palace gate were dumbfounded.
This Jing Yannian fought a battle, after returning from the Western Regions, is he even more proud now?
You used to put people in your eyes, but now your nostrils are facing the sky, right?
"It's not General Jingao, didn't you see the anger on his face just now?" a censor whispered.
The people around him thought they wanted to hear something inside, so they rushed forward.
"He was willing to go to the Western Regions to fight at the beginning because His Majesty agreed, and when he came back from victory, he asked him to remarry the Xiao family... Now that he is back, His Majesty married a Turkic princess." Yushi snorted, "Would he Can you please?"
"The Xiao family used to be the princess, but now he is not even the princess, and he has a domineering temper. What is the pity? I heard that the Turkic people have deep eye sockets, bright eyes, full heavens, and a high nose... The Turkic princess must be Very beautiful, isn't it better than remarrying Xiao Shi?" Some people asked in disbelief.
Jing Yannian didn't care how the ministers argued.
Before he took off his soft armor, he directly broke into the Hall of Qinzheng and faced the Holy Majesty.
"Kowtow to the Holy Majesty, long live my emperor!" Jing Yannian knelt on one knee and saluted.
The Holy Majesty saw that he was wearing soft armor, and his aura was colder than that of the armor, so his brows jumped, "Aiqing has finally returned, I am very happy, please hurry up."
Jing Yannian got up and raised his eyes to look at the Holy Majesty, then lowered his head, his displeasure was too strong, just now, when he looked from a distance, the whole Qinzheng Palace was full of his dissatisfaction.
"I just entered Chang'an, and I heard that the Holy Majesty bestowed a marriage? Is it a rumor?" Jing Yannian asked in a deep voice.
The Holy Majesty coughed lightly, raised his hand and stroked his beard, "This... I love Xiqing, and one of the Turkic peace talks is that he intends to marry me Daxia. In the past, the middle land sent the princess to a barbarian land, Now that Turk is willing to send the princess to be married, although he did not expressly submit, but he also has the intention of submitting. I am very happy."
Jing Yannian narrowed his eyes and did not speak.
The Holy Majesty smiled to himself, "General Jing has always been in my heart, so I think I can understand my joy now, right? General Jing's mood is the same as mine, right?"
Jing Yannian snorted.
His voice was extraordinarily cold in Qinzheng Hall, which was incompatible with the joy on the face of the Holy One.
"I don't understand." Jing Yannian said.
The Holy Majesty's smile stopped abruptly.
The Hall of Qinzheng fell silent for a while, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.
Jing Yannian looked up at the Holy Majesty, "I only want to take away my wife and children, and I dare not ask for anything else. I have countless good men in Daxia. If the Holy Majesty wants to give a marriage, there are many people who will readily accept it. Forgive me, it is difficult to obey."
"You..." Sheng Shang pointed at Jing Yannian.
Such a face-to-face refusal, where does the Holy Majesty put his face?
The Holy Majesty was displeased, but he could barely suppress his emotions, and sighed, "It's not that I make things difficult for you, it's really... oh... I love you so much!"
Jing Yannian squinted at the Holy Majesty.
The Holy Majesty sighed again, "Aiqing may not know yet, Mrs. Xiao, she...she..."
Jing Yannian couldn't help clenching the hand hanging by his side.
There was a half-smile expression on his face, he didn't say a word, waiting for the explanation from the Holy Majesty.
Before he returned to Chang'an, he asked someone to inquire to see if His Majesty was going to tell him the truth.
Unexpectedly, everyone in Chang'an City said that Mrs. Xiao was still being taken care of by Hao Sheng in Yong'an Hall.
The Holy Majesty choked up as he spoke, and raised his hand to touch his eyes with the corner of his sleeve, "Aiqing doesn't know... I'm afraid that it will affect Aiqing's mood of fighting abroad, and I keep telling people to hide it... Xiao, she, she..."
Jing Yannian felt a pain in his heart.
He couldn't help but look up at the Holy Majesty, "What's wrong with her?"
"She died of dystocia..." The Holy One said with tears.
Jing Yannian's tall figure shook slightly.
These words were too cruel for him.
Even though he knew that the Holy Majesty was lying to him, these words hit his heart hard like a heavy hammer.
"What did His Majesty say?" Jing Yannian's face was extremely ugly.
The Holy Majesty wiped his eyes again, "I know that you will definitely not be able to bear it, so I dare not ask anyone to tell you that in Yong'an Hall, I have invited the best stable woman in Chang'an City, but still..."
"Stop talking." Jing Yannian interrupted the Holy Majesty suddenly.
The expression on his face was extremely cold.
The Holy One looked at him sadly, "I feel bad too..."
"Since he died of dystocia, I want to see people, and when I die, I want to see the corpse!" Jing Yannian said every word.
His cold voice echoed in Qinzheng Hall.
The Holy Majesty's expression turned ugly in an instant, "The deceased is long gone, you have to mourn for the new year, Xiao Shi and the child have passed away forever, and they are buried in the ground. You don't love them like this, but..."
"I want to open the coffin and bid them farewell in person." Jing Yannian had no expression on his face, but his tone resolutely refused.
The Holy Majesty frowned, why is Jing Yannian so stubborn, although he is very similar to his tenacity back then, how could he be more stubborn than him back then?
"Nian'er, I can understand your feelings, but you are disrespectful to the dead! The dead are the greatest, so you open the coffin..."
"I was fighting in the Western Regions, and her mother and son were in Beijing. I finally returned to Chang'an, ready to happily take her mother and son home, but the Holy One told me that I would never see them again, and would marry someone else?" Jing Yannian Haha laughed, "This order, I am so hard to obey!"
The Holy Majesty took a picture of the desk and got up abruptly.
He didn't dare to talk about the fire, let alone say that Xiao Yuzhuo's mother and son died in the fire.
Because the fire happened too early, Jing Yannian hadn't even arrived in the Western Regions at that time.
If Xiao Yuzhuo had died at that time, the Holy Majesty should have informed Jing Yannian instead of hiding it from him.
Now that she died due to dystocia, it would look much more face-saving. It cannot be said that the Holy Majesty did not take good care of them, it can only be said that she deserved it.It is another gift of marriage, which is also a mighty grace of the emperor.
This shows that the Holy One is benevolent and honest.
But Jing Yannian insisted on opening the coffin, but it made the Holy Majesty completely defenseless.
"Since you love her, you should respect her. How can you have to open the coffin after she has been buried?" Sheng Shang said with a frown.
Jing Yannian cupped his hands and raised his eyes, looking directly at the Holy Majesty, "Is it true that the Holy Majesty refuses to let the ministers see their mother and child?"
"It's...it's hot today, and it's been two months since the burial, what can you see when you open the coffin?" the Holy One said angrily.
Jing Yannian stood still, his eyes fixed for a moment, "If the Holy Majesty wants to bestow a marriage, I must first open the coffin."
"You...how dare you threaten me?" His Majesty stared in disbelief.
Jing Yannian was expressionless, "I dare not, but I am a husband and a father, so I have no choice."
"You..." The Holy Majesty was so angry that he couldn't even speak, "Come on, invite Concubine De to come!"
Jing Yannian was slightly taken aback.
Just as he was talking about him, why did the Holy Majesty ask Concubine De suddenly?
Has the harem been allowed to intervene in the affairs of the previous dynasty?
Jing Yannian frowned slightly, not sure.
But when he saw the Empress Concubine De who was helped into the palace through the side door.
He was dumbfounded instantly.
His whole body froze as if someone had acupuncture points on him, and he stared at "Empress De Fei" dumbfounded, unable to recover for a while.
Until the concubine de concubine walked to his side and saluted the holy majesty.
Her all-too-familiar gentle voice rushed into his ears, and he gradually recovered.
"Ah... Mom?" Jing Yannian trembled.
Mrs. Jing turned her face, with tears in her eyes.
She has not seen her son for a long time.
She has never been separated from her son for such a long time since his son was born.
It's nothing more than the separation of mother and child, she can't even see her favorite daughter-in-law and grandson.
When taking care of their mother and son for her son, she watched helplessly as she was pushed to the opposite of her son and daughter-in-law.
The pain in her heart was unspeakable.
"Aniang? What's the matter with Concubine De?" Jing Yannian's eyes were dark and deep.
Mrs. Jing stepped forward, wanting to hold Jing Yannian's hand.
Jing Yannian took a step back involuntarily, avoiding her intimate movements.
Mrs. Jing was startled when she saw this, her face hurt.
The Holy One nodded slightly at Liang Gongli.
Liang Gongli hurriedly dismissed the servants, and he himself stood guard at the entrance of the hall.
"You are my son." The Holy Majesty said suddenly.
Jing Yannian raised his head sharply and looked at the aloof Holy Majesty, "What?"
"Back when your mother was still serving in the eldest princess's mansion, I got drunk at my elder sister's mansion... I forgot about it afterwards. Fortunately, your mother was tenacious and did not hesitate to give birth to you, raised you up, and became a grown-up man. .God arranged for you to return to my side by serving the imperial court.” The Holy One sighed, “God treats me well.”
Jing Yannian looked at His Majesty, and then at Mrs. Jing.
Mrs. Jing frowned and nodded silently.
Jing Yannian suddenly sneered, "I don't have a father, since I was a child, now that I've grown up, even more..."
"Nian'er!" Mrs. Jing seemed to know what he was going to say, and interrupted him quickly.
Jing Yannian looked down at Mrs. Jing, pursing his lips forbearance.
The Holy Majesty sighed, "You should persuade him well. I know that I owe you mother and son a lot, and I will definitely make up for you mother and son in the future!"
Mrs. Jing bowed her head in response.
The Holy One got up and walked out of the hall.
When he passed Jing Yannian's mother and son before leaving, he stopped and said slowly: "Now the king of Yue has invited to the fief Wancheng. Between you and King Ji, I prefer you, and you have made great achievements in battle. Changing your name in the future is justified. I will make you king now, and tell the world about your identity. In a few years, I will also establish a crown prince."
After the Holy Majesty finished speaking, he looked at Jing Yannian with deep meaning.
Jing Yannian chuckled, "Your Majesty tempted me with the position of the crown prince. Why do you want me to compromise? Now it's a matter of wife and children. What about the future? After I compromised once, did I put my neck in a sack?" In the future, everything will be led away?"
"What did you say?!" The Holy One was furious.
Jing Yannian's face was ugly, he was angry, and he didn't show any signs of softening.
Mrs. Jing hurriedly blessed her, "The Holy Majesty atones for the sin. This child has not known the truth for more than 20 years. He was scolded as a child who has no father since he was a child. He couldn't accept it for a while. I beg the Holy Majesty to forgive me!"
The Holy One took a deep breath, "I was ashamed of you first, but now I don't have the same knowledge as you!"
He snorted and walked away.
Before leaving the palace gate, she told Mrs. Jing, "It's good to warn him!"
The Holy One walked out of the hall.
There are palace guards outside the hall, so only Jing Yannian, mother and son are left in the hall.
The tall and wide palace seemed extraordinarily quiet at this moment.
Mrs. Jing raised her hand to touch Jing Yannian's bun.
Jing Yannian leaned back and avoided it.
He looked at Mrs. Jing's eyes, with the intention of being defensive and alienated.
Mrs. Jing raised her hand to cover her face, and said in a muffled voice: "Ever since you were young, I have thought that if I find your father for you, I will lose you one day. The royal coldness is full of intrigue. Intrigue, I send you back to the Li family, either to kill you, or to separate you from me. I would rather have nothing, let you take my surname, even if your life is mediocre, as long as you are safe good."
"Then why did you say it?" Jing Yannian asked coldly, "It's been hidden for more than 20 years, why do you want to say it now?"
"I want to see Yuyu, I want to see my grandson, I'm afraid the Holy Majesty will harm them..." Mrs. Jing looked at her son who was becoming more and more alienated from her, and hurriedly explained, "Tiger poison doesn't even eat Son, if the Holy Majesty knew that Yuyu was pregnant with his grandson, would he be able to keep them alive?"
Jing Yannian frowned slightly.
"But I didn't expect that even if I said it, the Holy Majesty has refused to ask me to see them. I just heard about the dystocia two days after you were about to arrive in Chang'an." Madam Jing said, tears welling up in her eyes again. Come.
Jing Yannian took a deep breath, "It's because I didn't protect my mother well, causing her to be arrested and thrown into the palace alone, it's not filial to my son."
Mrs. Jing shook her head repeatedly when she heard this, "You don't blame your mother for hiding it from you for so many years, and when you don't need your father's care anymore, you tell this matter yourself, mother already feels comforted."
"What does mother want to persuade my son? Persuasion?" Jing Yannian said indifferently, "In case the Holy Majesty tells you to say something, if you don't say it, you will be punished."
Mrs. Jing shook her head again and again, "Now Yuyu is gone, and I haven't even seen the child in Yuyu's womb for the last time. You were miserable as a child, you were bullied, you grew up strong, but you lost your wife and children... Mother can't give you anything, only gave you a lifetime of suffering... Mother is not a good mother, mother is ashamed of you..."
Mrs. Jing burst into tears.
Jing Yannian frowned, and finally stepped forward slowly, raising his hand to gently support Mrs. Jing.
"I can't blame you. My mother was able to give birth to me. She raised me up with all kinds of hardships, which is a great kindness to me. The suffering of my son is also the suffering of my mother." Jing Yannian said.
Taking advantage of the closeness between the two, Mrs. Jing whispered: "I don't believe what the Holy Majesty said about dying in childbirth. I always feel that Yuyu's life should not be like this. The Holy Majesty promised you the position of prince and me as a queen. Rare, no matter how you choose my son, A Niang will support you."
Mrs. Jing finished speaking quickly, and began to cry again.
Jing Yannian's expression eased, he held Mrs. Jing's hand, tightened it slightly, then let it go, took a step back, and put a distance between them.
"The Holy One really loves you. In the past, he appreciated your talents, but now he has a fatherly heart. Everything that the Holy Majesty arranges for you is the best for you... Son, you must understand the painstaking efforts of the Holy Majesty. !" Madam Jing whispered to Jing Yannian, and now she tried to persuade her again, without any pressure at all, and she spoke very smoothly.
After talking for a while, the Holy Majesty came back again, "Has Nian'er figured it out?"
Jing Yannian abruptly took out a handwritten note from his pocket.
The Holy One frowned.
"This letter was given to me by the Holy Majesty before I left Chang'an for the Western Regions." Jing Yannian said slowly, "In the letter, the Holy Majesty wants to make me king, and Xu Chen will marry Xiao's jade from the palace. The son of the vassal is the prince."
His Majesty's face was ugly, he naturally knew what was written in the handbook, "What do you mean by taking out this handbook now?"
Jing Yannian took a few steps forward.
The servants around the Holy Majesty were shocked and stood in front of the Holy Majesty one after another.
However, Jing Yannian raised his hand and filled the letter into the incense burner.
The bright yellow silk immediately turned black, and was reduced to ashes after a while.
The Holy Majesty looked at Jing Yannian in astonishment, and a smile overflowed his face for a moment, "So, has Nian figured it out?"
Jing Yannian cupped his hands, "I've already thought it through very clearly."
Longyan, the sage, was delighted, and said with a smile, "Okay! I'm just..."
"The bones of my wife and children are not yet cold. I will definitely not marry another Turkic princess! Whether you can be crowned king or not depends on the will of the Holy One. I will never dare to ask for extravagance." Jing Yannian cupped his hands and said, "It is up to me whether I had a father when I was a child." Minister. Whether or not there is a father now is up to the minister."
After finishing speaking, he cupped his hands and took a few steps back, "I'm really tired after rushing all the way back from the Western Regions, I beg my lord to leave."
Jing Yannian was begging His Majesty, but before His Majesty agreed, he had already exited the palace gate.
The Holy Majesty was so angry that his face was hideous, and the silk was burning in the incense burner, emitting a smell of paste, which made the Holy Majesty even angrier, "He, what is his attitude?"
The hall was filled with the sound of the holy majesty's fury.
"Look at what kind of good son you have raised?" Mrs. Shengshang Chaojing roared angrily.
Mrs. Jing lowered her head, she was gentle and quiet, without a single excuse.
Shengshang had nowhere to vent his anger, and waved his hand: "I'm not backing down yet."
Mrs. Jing left quietly.
The Holy Majesty sat in the hall and sulked.
"My lord, if Mrs. Xiao hadn't died, would my sage have asked General Jing to remarry Mrs. Xiao?" The only one who dared to ask such a question was Liang Gongli, the most respectable servant by Mrs. Sheng's side.
The Holy Majesty turned his face, glanced at him, and snorted coldly, "The Turkic envoys negotiated the terms of the peace, calling for Jing Yannian to marry the Turkic princess, and now Xiao Shi is still in the palace, so she can't be Jing Yannian's only wife. !"
Liang Gongli lowered his head slightly.
The Holy Majesty said again: "What's more, if I make Jing Yannian the prince, with Xiao's temperament, I'm afraid I won't wait until I make him the crown prince, and I won't wait until he enters the East Palace, and I will start making troubles in the court. Gather your party members!"
Liang Gongli gasped, "She's just a woman."
"Hehe, woman? She may not consider herself a woman," the Holy Majesty sneered, "If she becomes a princess one day, I'm afraid she won't be used to me being young and strong, and she wants to be the queen of the world when she is too busy. It won't hurt me. go?"
Liang Gongli was startled, "Your Majesty, be careful what you say."
Only Liang Gongli dared to persuade His Majesty like this.
The Holy Majesty raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, "I just said it casually, after all, Mrs. Xiao is dead, and these are all nonsense."
"But General Jing still misses Mrs. Xiao..." Liang Gongli said in a low voice.
Before he could finish his sentence, the Holy Majesty slapped the table angrily: "Decide my order and send troops to surround the General's Mansion. No one is allowed to enter the General's Mansion until Jing Yannian thinks it over and agrees to grant the marriage."
Before Jing Yannian went to the Western Regions, the General's Mansion was besieged.
In less than a day after Jing Yannian's triumphant return, the General's Mansion was surrounded again.
The people of Chang'an looked at the general's mansion with a confused face, the honor and disgrace were in an instant, and Jing Yannian's body really showed it vividly.
When the General's Mansion was surrounded, Liao Changsheng was at the General's Mansion.
The housekeeper rushed over to find Liao Changsheng, "Liao Suwei, go and take a look, the General's Mansion is surrounded again, no one can come in or out, even you and me!"
Liao Changsheng was not in a hurry, he took a sip of the tea soup, "Oh."
The housekeeper looked at him suspiciously, "I went to the main courtyard, but the general refused to see me, why don't Liao Suwei tell the general quickly?"
Liao Changsheng shook his head, "Don't worry, how could the general not know?"
The butler saw that he was calm and relaxed, so he had no choice but to leave the flower hall in doubt.
Liao Changsheng put down his tea bowl, and heaved a long sigh of relief, "The general is so wise to predict the future!"
It turned out that there was no General Jing in the carriage escorted by Liao Changsheng back to the General's Mansion.
There is only a pair of armor and a guard of General Jing.
When Jing Yannian went out of the palace gate and wanted to take a carriage instead of riding a horse, Liao Changsheng was surprised. He thought the general was too tired from traveling all the way, so he didn't ask any more questions.
Unexpectedly, on the halfway where there were no people there, there was a violent shake in the carriage.
Before he could recover, a figure leaped out like an arrow in front of the carriage door, grabbed the guards near the carriage, and threw him into the carriage.
"I'll leave the General's Mansion to you." Jing Yannian said, and rode away wearing a normal uniform.
Therefore, there is no general at all in the general's mansion surrounded by the Holy Majesty.
After the Xiyuan fire, the Xiao family was no longer in the palace. How could it be possible to deceive the general by saying that the Holy Majesty died of dystocia?
Liao Changsheng took another sip of tea with a relaxed expression.
Jing Yannian was galloping on horseback, he was dressed in ordinary clothes, the common people in Chang'an city certainly didn't recognize him.
But Ji Wang and his party, who were just near the south gate, were attracted by his chic posture immediately.
"Eh, the man on the horse looks familiar?" King Ji asked in surprise.
The attendant also stared wide-eyed, "It's... General Jing, right?"
Ji Wang narrowed his eyes.
When he took a closer look, Jing Yannian had already rushed out of the city gate.
The past inspection at the gate of the city is the time to be slack.
King Ji frowned and nodded, "That's right, it's General Jing."
King Ji's entourage hurriedly said: "Then you have to report to Zuo Sheng to know! General Jing is dressed in ordinary clothes, and he rushed out of the city in such a hurry, he must have left the city privately!"
King Ji raised his hand and tapped the entourage's head, "Reporting to the emperor to know? Do you know where General Jing is going?"
The attendant frowned and thought for a while, "If you go to the Western Regions, you should go through the west gate, but now you go through the south gate, this is..."
King Ji hooked the corner of his mouth, "Maybe he is going to Wancheng?"
The entourage let out a long cry, "To find His Royal Highness the King of Yue?"
King Ji chuckled, "I can guess that the Xiao family might be taken away by King Yue. How could Jing Yannian not guess it? Maybe something good will happen when he goes here. I just have to wait and see."
The entourage nodded repeatedly, "Yes, the subordinates didn't see anything."
Jing Yannian went straight to Wancheng without stopping.
When he came back from the Western Regions, he was full of travel and dust, but now he didn't care about being tired at all.
It's just that no matter how fast he ran, it was still not as fast as the news spread.
What's more, Xiao Yuzhuo specially made people pay attention to the news of Chang'an.
"My lady..." Mei Xiang came back from the outside with a gloomy face.
Xiao Yuzhuo raised his eyes to look at her, "What did you find out? Counting the time, the general was called back to Chang'an from the Holy Master, so it should be here by now, right?"
Mei Xiang hung her head and said nothing.
Zhuxiang looked at her suspiciously, "Could it be that I didn't find out anything, and I'm too embarrassed to say it?"
Mei Xiang glared at Zhu Xiang, but it was rare that she didn't argue with her.
"Let's talk." Xiao Yuzhuo put Chong Wu, who had just changed her diaper, on the bed.
Xiao Chongwu stretched out his chubby little hands, babbling and playing happily.
Chen Xiyue was beside the bed, watching him carefully.
"My lady, the servant girl said it, so don't be angry." Mei Xiang whispered.
When she said this, Zhu Xiang and Ju Xiang couldn't help but look up at her.
Even Chen Xiyue looked at her curiously.
Xiao Yuzhuo laughed, "Say it, I'm not angry."
Mei Xiang frowned, took a quick look at Xiao Yuzhuo, and said in a voice that couldn't be lowered: "The Holy Majesty said that the lady died of dystocia, and also married the general to a Turkic princess."
"Also...too deceitful!" Zhu Xiang couldn't control her strength, and smashed the small white porcelain bowl in her hand.
The water in it was intended for Xiao Chongwu to drink, but she spilled it all over her hands.
Mei Xiang and Ju Xiang hurriedly looked at Xiao Yuzhuo's expression.
Xiao Yuzhuo's eyes sank, and he let out a slow oh for a while.
"Miss..."
Xiao Yuzhuo snorted, "Sure enough, it depends on the mountains and the mountains, and everyone runs."
"Lady, the general will definitely not agree!" Mei Xiang said hastily.
Xiao Yuzhuo sighed, "Back then I put my hopes on the Holy Master, thinking that if the general won the battle, the Holy Master would allow him to remarry me, it was really naive."
"My lady, what should I do now?" Ju Xiang's voice was calm.
Mei Xiang was about to cry herself, she shook her head again and again, "No matter what the Holy Majesty said, the general didn't agree."
"What if the Holy Majesty blackmails him with loyalty first? What's more, we have never found out where Mrs. Jing is. Where do you think we can't find out?" Xiao Yuzhuo asked.
Mei Xiang was startled, "Isn't it in the palace?"
Xiao Yuzhuo didn't speak.
Mei Xiang shook her head again and again, "Impossible, it must be because the lady is not in the capital, so it is difficult to get news."
"My lady, the general's heart towards my lady will definitely not change." Zhu Xiang also said.
Mei Xiang agreed, "Yes, even if there is a Turkic princess, it can't be done."
Xiao Yuzhuo laughed, but the smile was cold, "In the eyes of the Holy One, in the eyes of the world today, what is a woman? It is just a tool for marriage, and this is still a woman with status and status. If the background is poorer, That woman is just a plaything in the hands of a man."
Her voice is cold and loud.
The four maids in the room were all taken aback, looking up at her.
Xiao Yuzhuo's expression was very calm. Although he was angry, he was calmer in anger.
"I counted on the grace of the Holy One, so I fell into the situation I am in today." Xiao Yuzhuo snorted and laughed, "It is better to save myself than to rely on the general to disobey the imperial decree to save me."
"How can my lady save herself?" Mei Xiang asked immediately.
"If I had contacted shopkeeper Liang, maybe I could still get a lot of the interest money from Wufangzhai, the interest money from Chengnan, and the money from Dexin Cabinet Shop." Zhuxiang immediately remembered.
Xiao Yuzhuo stared slightly, "After all, shopkeeper Liang is too close to the regular attendant next to the Holy One, so it is difficult to contact him now. Let's think of another way."
Chen Xiyue was taken aback by the words between master and servant.
The master and servant had stopped talking for a long time before she timidly asked: "My lady's words, I'm not in a position to understand. The lady is saying that the lady has the ambition to change the society in the street. Is it a situation where women are at the bottom and are at the mercy of men?"
Xiao Yuzhuo was taken aback when he heard the words, this is indeed a grand ideal.
She wants to prove herself, wants to be independent.On a grander scale, it naturally proves that women are not playthings in the hands of men. Women are completely independent individuals from thought to behavior.
"It's true that you said that, but this kind of thing can't be rushed, and we have to start from the smallest direction..."
"May I bring my maid?" Chen Xiyue asked in a low voice.
Xiao Yuzhuo laughed, "What do you want to do?"
(End of this chapter)
Xiao Yuzhuo's encounters can be regarded as good intentions are rewarded.
Mrs. Qin was poisoned because of her snacks, and she was afraid that she would feel sorry for her, so she became more polite to her.
At the end of the banquet, when she was leaving, Mrs. Qin specially sent some gifts for her to take away.
And personally sent out the second door of the Qin family.
But in the world, not all good intentions are rewarded.
Jing Yannian had no choice but to leave his wife and children in the capital to fight for the great cause of the Holy One, which can be regarded as a heart of loyalty to the emperor, and this heart is also good.
But I don’t know if it’s good to pay back?
He had just arrived at Chang'an City, and before he even got to the palace, he heard news from the palace that the Holy Majesty thanked General Jing for fighting for the country, was brave and invincible, and gave the Turkic princess a marriage to Jing Yannian.
"General, the decree of bestowing a marriage came from the palace, and the Holy Majesty intended to mention it in front of all officials, and now it has spread in Chang'an City." Liao Changsheng first went to Chang'an to report the news of the general's return to Chang'an.
When he got the letter, he hurried back to tell Jing Yannian.
Jing Yannian was riding on a tall horse, his face was dark and ugly, his lips were tightly pressed, and he didn't say a word.
"General..." Liao Changsheng looked at his expression, feeling uneasy.
Before the general entered Chang'an City, his complexion was still very good, with joy on his brows.
But at this moment, there was a faint killing intent surging in the general's eyes.
"General, it's... time to dismount..." Liao Changsheng saw Jing Yannian riding his horse all the way to the gate of the imperial city, but he didn't stop his horse, so he couldn't help but remind him.
Hundreds of officials greeted each other in front of the imperial city gate.
Jing Yannian sat on the horse with an indifferent expression, showing no intention of dismounting at all.
"Welcome to the triumphant return of the general!" All the officials said, clasping their hands.
Jing Yannian took a deep breath, and looked at the high gate of the imperial city with cold eyes.
On the vermilion gate, there are golden willow nails, reflecting the sun, giving off a cool and noble golden light.
He snorted softly, got off his horse, ignored all the officials who came to greet him, and walked straight to the palace gate.
"The Holy Majesty is waiting for the general in the Palace of Qinzheng, please take off your armor and go to see him!" The servant waiting in front of the palace gate to lead him to see the Holy Majesty bowed.
Jing Yannian didn't even pay attention to the ministers who came to greet him, so why would he pay attention to a few servants?
Without even looking sideways, he went straight into the palace gate and headed all the way to Qinzheng Hall.
The servant was taken aback by him, but he wanted to stop him, but he didn't dare to stop him.
A group of people had to follow behind him, trotting after him.
The officials who were left hanging outside the palace gate were dumbfounded.
This Jing Yannian fought a battle, after returning from the Western Regions, is he even more proud now?
You used to put people in your eyes, but now your nostrils are facing the sky, right?
"It's not General Jingao, didn't you see the anger on his face just now?" a censor whispered.
The people around him thought they wanted to hear something inside, so they rushed forward.
"He was willing to go to the Western Regions to fight at the beginning because His Majesty agreed, and when he came back from victory, he asked him to remarry the Xiao family... Now that he is back, His Majesty married a Turkic princess." Yushi snorted, "Would he Can you please?"
"The Xiao family used to be the princess, but now he is not even the princess, and he has a domineering temper. What is the pity? I heard that the Turkic people have deep eye sockets, bright eyes, full heavens, and a high nose... The Turkic princess must be Very beautiful, isn't it better than remarrying Xiao Shi?" Some people asked in disbelief.
Jing Yannian didn't care how the ministers argued.
Before he took off his soft armor, he directly broke into the Hall of Qinzheng and faced the Holy Majesty.
"Kowtow to the Holy Majesty, long live my emperor!" Jing Yannian knelt on one knee and saluted.
The Holy Majesty saw that he was wearing soft armor, and his aura was colder than that of the armor, so his brows jumped, "Aiqing has finally returned, I am very happy, please hurry up."
Jing Yannian got up and raised his eyes to look at the Holy Majesty, then lowered his head, his displeasure was too strong, just now, when he looked from a distance, the whole Qinzheng Palace was full of his dissatisfaction.
"I just entered Chang'an, and I heard that the Holy Majesty bestowed a marriage? Is it a rumor?" Jing Yannian asked in a deep voice.
The Holy Majesty coughed lightly, raised his hand and stroked his beard, "This... I love Xiqing, and one of the Turkic peace talks is that he intends to marry me Daxia. In the past, the middle land sent the princess to a barbarian land, Now that Turk is willing to send the princess to be married, although he did not expressly submit, but he also has the intention of submitting. I am very happy."
Jing Yannian narrowed his eyes and did not speak.
The Holy Majesty smiled to himself, "General Jing has always been in my heart, so I think I can understand my joy now, right? General Jing's mood is the same as mine, right?"
Jing Yannian snorted.
His voice was extraordinarily cold in Qinzheng Hall, which was incompatible with the joy on the face of the Holy One.
"I don't understand." Jing Yannian said.
The Holy Majesty's smile stopped abruptly.
The Hall of Qinzheng fell silent for a while, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.
Jing Yannian looked up at the Holy Majesty, "I only want to take away my wife and children, and I dare not ask for anything else. I have countless good men in Daxia. If the Holy Majesty wants to give a marriage, there are many people who will readily accept it. Forgive me, it is difficult to obey."
"You..." Sheng Shang pointed at Jing Yannian.
Such a face-to-face refusal, where does the Holy Majesty put his face?
The Holy Majesty was displeased, but he could barely suppress his emotions, and sighed, "It's not that I make things difficult for you, it's really... oh... I love you so much!"
Jing Yannian squinted at the Holy Majesty.
The Holy Majesty sighed again, "Aiqing may not know yet, Mrs. Xiao, she...she..."
Jing Yannian couldn't help clenching the hand hanging by his side.
There was a half-smile expression on his face, he didn't say a word, waiting for the explanation from the Holy Majesty.
Before he returned to Chang'an, he asked someone to inquire to see if His Majesty was going to tell him the truth.
Unexpectedly, everyone in Chang'an City said that Mrs. Xiao was still being taken care of by Hao Sheng in Yong'an Hall.
The Holy Majesty choked up as he spoke, and raised his hand to touch his eyes with the corner of his sleeve, "Aiqing doesn't know... I'm afraid that it will affect Aiqing's mood of fighting abroad, and I keep telling people to hide it... Xiao, she, she..."
Jing Yannian felt a pain in his heart.
He couldn't help but look up at the Holy Majesty, "What's wrong with her?"
"She died of dystocia..." The Holy One said with tears.
Jing Yannian's tall figure shook slightly.
These words were too cruel for him.
Even though he knew that the Holy Majesty was lying to him, these words hit his heart hard like a heavy hammer.
"What did His Majesty say?" Jing Yannian's face was extremely ugly.
The Holy Majesty wiped his eyes again, "I know that you will definitely not be able to bear it, so I dare not ask anyone to tell you that in Yong'an Hall, I have invited the best stable woman in Chang'an City, but still..."
"Stop talking." Jing Yannian interrupted the Holy Majesty suddenly.
The expression on his face was extremely cold.
The Holy One looked at him sadly, "I feel bad too..."
"Since he died of dystocia, I want to see people, and when I die, I want to see the corpse!" Jing Yannian said every word.
His cold voice echoed in Qinzheng Hall.
The Holy Majesty's expression turned ugly in an instant, "The deceased is long gone, you have to mourn for the new year, Xiao Shi and the child have passed away forever, and they are buried in the ground. You don't love them like this, but..."
"I want to open the coffin and bid them farewell in person." Jing Yannian had no expression on his face, but his tone resolutely refused.
The Holy Majesty frowned, why is Jing Yannian so stubborn, although he is very similar to his tenacity back then, how could he be more stubborn than him back then?
"Nian'er, I can understand your feelings, but you are disrespectful to the dead! The dead are the greatest, so you open the coffin..."
"I was fighting in the Western Regions, and her mother and son were in Beijing. I finally returned to Chang'an, ready to happily take her mother and son home, but the Holy One told me that I would never see them again, and would marry someone else?" Jing Yannian Haha laughed, "This order, I am so hard to obey!"
The Holy Majesty took a picture of the desk and got up abruptly.
He didn't dare to talk about the fire, let alone say that Xiao Yuzhuo's mother and son died in the fire.
Because the fire happened too early, Jing Yannian hadn't even arrived in the Western Regions at that time.
If Xiao Yuzhuo had died at that time, the Holy Majesty should have informed Jing Yannian instead of hiding it from him.
Now that she died due to dystocia, it would look much more face-saving. It cannot be said that the Holy Majesty did not take good care of them, it can only be said that she deserved it.It is another gift of marriage, which is also a mighty grace of the emperor.
This shows that the Holy One is benevolent and honest.
But Jing Yannian insisted on opening the coffin, but it made the Holy Majesty completely defenseless.
"Since you love her, you should respect her. How can you have to open the coffin after she has been buried?" Sheng Shang said with a frown.
Jing Yannian cupped his hands and raised his eyes, looking directly at the Holy Majesty, "Is it true that the Holy Majesty refuses to let the ministers see their mother and child?"
"It's...it's hot today, and it's been two months since the burial, what can you see when you open the coffin?" the Holy One said angrily.
Jing Yannian stood still, his eyes fixed for a moment, "If the Holy Majesty wants to bestow a marriage, I must first open the coffin."
"You...how dare you threaten me?" His Majesty stared in disbelief.
Jing Yannian was expressionless, "I dare not, but I am a husband and a father, so I have no choice."
"You..." The Holy Majesty was so angry that he couldn't even speak, "Come on, invite Concubine De to come!"
Jing Yannian was slightly taken aback.
Just as he was talking about him, why did the Holy Majesty ask Concubine De suddenly?
Has the harem been allowed to intervene in the affairs of the previous dynasty?
Jing Yannian frowned slightly, not sure.
But when he saw the Empress Concubine De who was helped into the palace through the side door.
He was dumbfounded instantly.
His whole body froze as if someone had acupuncture points on him, and he stared at "Empress De Fei" dumbfounded, unable to recover for a while.
Until the concubine de concubine walked to his side and saluted the holy majesty.
Her all-too-familiar gentle voice rushed into his ears, and he gradually recovered.
"Ah... Mom?" Jing Yannian trembled.
Mrs. Jing turned her face, with tears in her eyes.
She has not seen her son for a long time.
She has never been separated from her son for such a long time since his son was born.
It's nothing more than the separation of mother and child, she can't even see her favorite daughter-in-law and grandson.
When taking care of their mother and son for her son, she watched helplessly as she was pushed to the opposite of her son and daughter-in-law.
The pain in her heart was unspeakable.
"Aniang? What's the matter with Concubine De?" Jing Yannian's eyes were dark and deep.
Mrs. Jing stepped forward, wanting to hold Jing Yannian's hand.
Jing Yannian took a step back involuntarily, avoiding her intimate movements.
Mrs. Jing was startled when she saw this, her face hurt.
The Holy One nodded slightly at Liang Gongli.
Liang Gongli hurriedly dismissed the servants, and he himself stood guard at the entrance of the hall.
"You are my son." The Holy Majesty said suddenly.
Jing Yannian raised his head sharply and looked at the aloof Holy Majesty, "What?"
"Back when your mother was still serving in the eldest princess's mansion, I got drunk at my elder sister's mansion... I forgot about it afterwards. Fortunately, your mother was tenacious and did not hesitate to give birth to you, raised you up, and became a grown-up man. .God arranged for you to return to my side by serving the imperial court.” The Holy One sighed, “God treats me well.”
Jing Yannian looked at His Majesty, and then at Mrs. Jing.
Mrs. Jing frowned and nodded silently.
Jing Yannian suddenly sneered, "I don't have a father, since I was a child, now that I've grown up, even more..."
"Nian'er!" Mrs. Jing seemed to know what he was going to say, and interrupted him quickly.
Jing Yannian looked down at Mrs. Jing, pursing his lips forbearance.
The Holy Majesty sighed, "You should persuade him well. I know that I owe you mother and son a lot, and I will definitely make up for you mother and son in the future!"
Mrs. Jing bowed her head in response.
The Holy One got up and walked out of the hall.
When he passed Jing Yannian's mother and son before leaving, he stopped and said slowly: "Now the king of Yue has invited to the fief Wancheng. Between you and King Ji, I prefer you, and you have made great achievements in battle. Changing your name in the future is justified. I will make you king now, and tell the world about your identity. In a few years, I will also establish a crown prince."
After the Holy Majesty finished speaking, he looked at Jing Yannian with deep meaning.
Jing Yannian chuckled, "Your Majesty tempted me with the position of the crown prince. Why do you want me to compromise? Now it's a matter of wife and children. What about the future? After I compromised once, did I put my neck in a sack?" In the future, everything will be led away?"
"What did you say?!" The Holy One was furious.
Jing Yannian's face was ugly, he was angry, and he didn't show any signs of softening.
Mrs. Jing hurriedly blessed her, "The Holy Majesty atones for the sin. This child has not known the truth for more than 20 years. He was scolded as a child who has no father since he was a child. He couldn't accept it for a while. I beg the Holy Majesty to forgive me!"
The Holy One took a deep breath, "I was ashamed of you first, but now I don't have the same knowledge as you!"
He snorted and walked away.
Before leaving the palace gate, she told Mrs. Jing, "It's good to warn him!"
The Holy One walked out of the hall.
There are palace guards outside the hall, so only Jing Yannian, mother and son are left in the hall.
The tall and wide palace seemed extraordinarily quiet at this moment.
Mrs. Jing raised her hand to touch Jing Yannian's bun.
Jing Yannian leaned back and avoided it.
He looked at Mrs. Jing's eyes, with the intention of being defensive and alienated.
Mrs. Jing raised her hand to cover her face, and said in a muffled voice: "Ever since you were young, I have thought that if I find your father for you, I will lose you one day. The royal coldness is full of intrigue. Intrigue, I send you back to the Li family, either to kill you, or to separate you from me. I would rather have nothing, let you take my surname, even if your life is mediocre, as long as you are safe good."
"Then why did you say it?" Jing Yannian asked coldly, "It's been hidden for more than 20 years, why do you want to say it now?"
"I want to see Yuyu, I want to see my grandson, I'm afraid the Holy Majesty will harm them..." Mrs. Jing looked at her son who was becoming more and more alienated from her, and hurriedly explained, "Tiger poison doesn't even eat Son, if the Holy Majesty knew that Yuyu was pregnant with his grandson, would he be able to keep them alive?"
Jing Yannian frowned slightly.
"But I didn't expect that even if I said it, the Holy Majesty has refused to ask me to see them. I just heard about the dystocia two days after you were about to arrive in Chang'an." Madam Jing said, tears welling up in her eyes again. Come.
Jing Yannian took a deep breath, "It's because I didn't protect my mother well, causing her to be arrested and thrown into the palace alone, it's not filial to my son."
Mrs. Jing shook her head repeatedly when she heard this, "You don't blame your mother for hiding it from you for so many years, and when you don't need your father's care anymore, you tell this matter yourself, mother already feels comforted."
"What does mother want to persuade my son? Persuasion?" Jing Yannian said indifferently, "In case the Holy Majesty tells you to say something, if you don't say it, you will be punished."
Mrs. Jing shook her head again and again, "Now Yuyu is gone, and I haven't even seen the child in Yuyu's womb for the last time. You were miserable as a child, you were bullied, you grew up strong, but you lost your wife and children... Mother can't give you anything, only gave you a lifetime of suffering... Mother is not a good mother, mother is ashamed of you..."
Mrs. Jing burst into tears.
Jing Yannian frowned, and finally stepped forward slowly, raising his hand to gently support Mrs. Jing.
"I can't blame you. My mother was able to give birth to me. She raised me up with all kinds of hardships, which is a great kindness to me. The suffering of my son is also the suffering of my mother." Jing Yannian said.
Taking advantage of the closeness between the two, Mrs. Jing whispered: "I don't believe what the Holy Majesty said about dying in childbirth. I always feel that Yuyu's life should not be like this. The Holy Majesty promised you the position of prince and me as a queen. Rare, no matter how you choose my son, A Niang will support you."
Mrs. Jing finished speaking quickly, and began to cry again.
Jing Yannian's expression eased, he held Mrs. Jing's hand, tightened it slightly, then let it go, took a step back, and put a distance between them.
"The Holy One really loves you. In the past, he appreciated your talents, but now he has a fatherly heart. Everything that the Holy Majesty arranges for you is the best for you... Son, you must understand the painstaking efforts of the Holy Majesty. !" Madam Jing whispered to Jing Yannian, and now she tried to persuade her again, without any pressure at all, and she spoke very smoothly.
After talking for a while, the Holy Majesty came back again, "Has Nian'er figured it out?"
Jing Yannian abruptly took out a handwritten note from his pocket.
The Holy One frowned.
"This letter was given to me by the Holy Majesty before I left Chang'an for the Western Regions." Jing Yannian said slowly, "In the letter, the Holy Majesty wants to make me king, and Xu Chen will marry Xiao's jade from the palace. The son of the vassal is the prince."
His Majesty's face was ugly, he naturally knew what was written in the handbook, "What do you mean by taking out this handbook now?"
Jing Yannian took a few steps forward.
The servants around the Holy Majesty were shocked and stood in front of the Holy Majesty one after another.
However, Jing Yannian raised his hand and filled the letter into the incense burner.
The bright yellow silk immediately turned black, and was reduced to ashes after a while.
The Holy Majesty looked at Jing Yannian in astonishment, and a smile overflowed his face for a moment, "So, has Nian figured it out?"
Jing Yannian cupped his hands, "I've already thought it through very clearly."
Longyan, the sage, was delighted, and said with a smile, "Okay! I'm just..."
"The bones of my wife and children are not yet cold. I will definitely not marry another Turkic princess! Whether you can be crowned king or not depends on the will of the Holy One. I will never dare to ask for extravagance." Jing Yannian cupped his hands and said, "It is up to me whether I had a father when I was a child." Minister. Whether or not there is a father now is up to the minister."
After finishing speaking, he cupped his hands and took a few steps back, "I'm really tired after rushing all the way back from the Western Regions, I beg my lord to leave."
Jing Yannian was begging His Majesty, but before His Majesty agreed, he had already exited the palace gate.
The Holy Majesty was so angry that his face was hideous, and the silk was burning in the incense burner, emitting a smell of paste, which made the Holy Majesty even angrier, "He, what is his attitude?"
The hall was filled with the sound of the holy majesty's fury.
"Look at what kind of good son you have raised?" Mrs. Shengshang Chaojing roared angrily.
Mrs. Jing lowered her head, she was gentle and quiet, without a single excuse.
Shengshang had nowhere to vent his anger, and waved his hand: "I'm not backing down yet."
Mrs. Jing left quietly.
The Holy Majesty sat in the hall and sulked.
"My lord, if Mrs. Xiao hadn't died, would my sage have asked General Jing to remarry Mrs. Xiao?" The only one who dared to ask such a question was Liang Gongli, the most respectable servant by Mrs. Sheng's side.
The Holy Majesty turned his face, glanced at him, and snorted coldly, "The Turkic envoys negotiated the terms of the peace, calling for Jing Yannian to marry the Turkic princess, and now Xiao Shi is still in the palace, so she can't be Jing Yannian's only wife. !"
Liang Gongli lowered his head slightly.
The Holy Majesty said again: "What's more, if I make Jing Yannian the prince, with Xiao's temperament, I'm afraid I won't wait until I make him the crown prince, and I won't wait until he enters the East Palace, and I will start making troubles in the court. Gather your party members!"
Liang Gongli gasped, "She's just a woman."
"Hehe, woman? She may not consider herself a woman," the Holy Majesty sneered, "If she becomes a princess one day, I'm afraid she won't be used to me being young and strong, and she wants to be the queen of the world when she is too busy. It won't hurt me. go?"
Liang Gongli was startled, "Your Majesty, be careful what you say."
Only Liang Gongli dared to persuade His Majesty like this.
The Holy Majesty raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, "I just said it casually, after all, Mrs. Xiao is dead, and these are all nonsense."
"But General Jing still misses Mrs. Xiao..." Liang Gongli said in a low voice.
Before he could finish his sentence, the Holy Majesty slapped the table angrily: "Decide my order and send troops to surround the General's Mansion. No one is allowed to enter the General's Mansion until Jing Yannian thinks it over and agrees to grant the marriage."
Before Jing Yannian went to the Western Regions, the General's Mansion was besieged.
In less than a day after Jing Yannian's triumphant return, the General's Mansion was surrounded again.
The people of Chang'an looked at the general's mansion with a confused face, the honor and disgrace were in an instant, and Jing Yannian's body really showed it vividly.
When the General's Mansion was surrounded, Liao Changsheng was at the General's Mansion.
The housekeeper rushed over to find Liao Changsheng, "Liao Suwei, go and take a look, the General's Mansion is surrounded again, no one can come in or out, even you and me!"
Liao Changsheng was not in a hurry, he took a sip of the tea soup, "Oh."
The housekeeper looked at him suspiciously, "I went to the main courtyard, but the general refused to see me, why don't Liao Suwei tell the general quickly?"
Liao Changsheng shook his head, "Don't worry, how could the general not know?"
The butler saw that he was calm and relaxed, so he had no choice but to leave the flower hall in doubt.
Liao Changsheng put down his tea bowl, and heaved a long sigh of relief, "The general is so wise to predict the future!"
It turned out that there was no General Jing in the carriage escorted by Liao Changsheng back to the General's Mansion.
There is only a pair of armor and a guard of General Jing.
When Jing Yannian went out of the palace gate and wanted to take a carriage instead of riding a horse, Liao Changsheng was surprised. He thought the general was too tired from traveling all the way, so he didn't ask any more questions.
Unexpectedly, on the halfway where there were no people there, there was a violent shake in the carriage.
Before he could recover, a figure leaped out like an arrow in front of the carriage door, grabbed the guards near the carriage, and threw him into the carriage.
"I'll leave the General's Mansion to you." Jing Yannian said, and rode away wearing a normal uniform.
Therefore, there is no general at all in the general's mansion surrounded by the Holy Majesty.
After the Xiyuan fire, the Xiao family was no longer in the palace. How could it be possible to deceive the general by saying that the Holy Majesty died of dystocia?
Liao Changsheng took another sip of tea with a relaxed expression.
Jing Yannian was galloping on horseback, he was dressed in ordinary clothes, the common people in Chang'an city certainly didn't recognize him.
But Ji Wang and his party, who were just near the south gate, were attracted by his chic posture immediately.
"Eh, the man on the horse looks familiar?" King Ji asked in surprise.
The attendant also stared wide-eyed, "It's... General Jing, right?"
Ji Wang narrowed his eyes.
When he took a closer look, Jing Yannian had already rushed out of the city gate.
The past inspection at the gate of the city is the time to be slack.
King Ji frowned and nodded, "That's right, it's General Jing."
King Ji's entourage hurriedly said: "Then you have to report to Zuo Sheng to know! General Jing is dressed in ordinary clothes, and he rushed out of the city in such a hurry, he must have left the city privately!"
King Ji raised his hand and tapped the entourage's head, "Reporting to the emperor to know? Do you know where General Jing is going?"
The attendant frowned and thought for a while, "If you go to the Western Regions, you should go through the west gate, but now you go through the south gate, this is..."
King Ji hooked the corner of his mouth, "Maybe he is going to Wancheng?"
The entourage let out a long cry, "To find His Royal Highness the King of Yue?"
King Ji chuckled, "I can guess that the Xiao family might be taken away by King Yue. How could Jing Yannian not guess it? Maybe something good will happen when he goes here. I just have to wait and see."
The entourage nodded repeatedly, "Yes, the subordinates didn't see anything."
Jing Yannian went straight to Wancheng without stopping.
When he came back from the Western Regions, he was full of travel and dust, but now he didn't care about being tired at all.
It's just that no matter how fast he ran, it was still not as fast as the news spread.
What's more, Xiao Yuzhuo specially made people pay attention to the news of Chang'an.
"My lady..." Mei Xiang came back from the outside with a gloomy face.
Xiao Yuzhuo raised his eyes to look at her, "What did you find out? Counting the time, the general was called back to Chang'an from the Holy Master, so it should be here by now, right?"
Mei Xiang hung her head and said nothing.
Zhuxiang looked at her suspiciously, "Could it be that I didn't find out anything, and I'm too embarrassed to say it?"
Mei Xiang glared at Zhu Xiang, but it was rare that she didn't argue with her.
"Let's talk." Xiao Yuzhuo put Chong Wu, who had just changed her diaper, on the bed.
Xiao Chongwu stretched out his chubby little hands, babbling and playing happily.
Chen Xiyue was beside the bed, watching him carefully.
"My lady, the servant girl said it, so don't be angry." Mei Xiang whispered.
When she said this, Zhu Xiang and Ju Xiang couldn't help but look up at her.
Even Chen Xiyue looked at her curiously.
Xiao Yuzhuo laughed, "Say it, I'm not angry."
Mei Xiang frowned, took a quick look at Xiao Yuzhuo, and said in a voice that couldn't be lowered: "The Holy Majesty said that the lady died of dystocia, and also married the general to a Turkic princess."
"Also...too deceitful!" Zhu Xiang couldn't control her strength, and smashed the small white porcelain bowl in her hand.
The water in it was intended for Xiao Chongwu to drink, but she spilled it all over her hands.
Mei Xiang and Ju Xiang hurriedly looked at Xiao Yuzhuo's expression.
Xiao Yuzhuo's eyes sank, and he let out a slow oh for a while.
"Miss..."
Xiao Yuzhuo snorted, "Sure enough, it depends on the mountains and the mountains, and everyone runs."
"Lady, the general will definitely not agree!" Mei Xiang said hastily.
Xiao Yuzhuo sighed, "Back then I put my hopes on the Holy Master, thinking that if the general won the battle, the Holy Master would allow him to remarry me, it was really naive."
"My lady, what should I do now?" Ju Xiang's voice was calm.
Mei Xiang was about to cry herself, she shook her head again and again, "No matter what the Holy Majesty said, the general didn't agree."
"What if the Holy Majesty blackmails him with loyalty first? What's more, we have never found out where Mrs. Jing is. Where do you think we can't find out?" Xiao Yuzhuo asked.
Mei Xiang was startled, "Isn't it in the palace?"
Xiao Yuzhuo didn't speak.
Mei Xiang shook her head again and again, "Impossible, it must be because the lady is not in the capital, so it is difficult to get news."
"My lady, the general's heart towards my lady will definitely not change." Zhu Xiang also said.
Mei Xiang agreed, "Yes, even if there is a Turkic princess, it can't be done."
Xiao Yuzhuo laughed, but the smile was cold, "In the eyes of the Holy One, in the eyes of the world today, what is a woman? It is just a tool for marriage, and this is still a woman with status and status. If the background is poorer, That woman is just a plaything in the hands of a man."
Her voice is cold and loud.
The four maids in the room were all taken aback, looking up at her.
Xiao Yuzhuo's expression was very calm. Although he was angry, he was calmer in anger.
"I counted on the grace of the Holy One, so I fell into the situation I am in today." Xiao Yuzhuo snorted and laughed, "It is better to save myself than to rely on the general to disobey the imperial decree to save me."
"How can my lady save herself?" Mei Xiang asked immediately.
"If I had contacted shopkeeper Liang, maybe I could still get a lot of the interest money from Wufangzhai, the interest money from Chengnan, and the money from Dexin Cabinet Shop." Zhuxiang immediately remembered.
Xiao Yuzhuo stared slightly, "After all, shopkeeper Liang is too close to the regular attendant next to the Holy One, so it is difficult to contact him now. Let's think of another way."
Chen Xiyue was taken aback by the words between master and servant.
The master and servant had stopped talking for a long time before she timidly asked: "My lady's words, I'm not in a position to understand. The lady is saying that the lady has the ambition to change the society in the street. Is it a situation where women are at the bottom and are at the mercy of men?"
Xiao Yuzhuo was taken aback when he heard the words, this is indeed a grand ideal.
She wants to prove herself, wants to be independent.On a grander scale, it naturally proves that women are not playthings in the hands of men. Women are completely independent individuals from thought to behavior.
"It's true that you said that, but this kind of thing can't be rushed, and we have to start from the smallest direction..."
"May I bring my maid?" Chen Xiyue asked in a low voice.
Xiao Yuzhuo laughed, "What do you want to do?"
