Concubine's three acres of pastoral garden

Chapter 322 The Grand Finale (2)
Tao Qian was a little embarrassed, and said, "It's all just by the way, but then again, if it wasn't for always worrying about death, this prince would be doing quite well. I didn't dare to be so arrogant in the past."

Xianglai said: "So from now on, Chuyu must learn to protect himself. I have some experience in this regard. If Chuyu is willing to listen, I can tell you."

Tao Qian said happily: "Okay, princess, teach me quickly!"

Qu Xiuchan laid out the food in the food box and said, "Let's talk while eating, the princess and I haven't had enough at noon, and we've been rambunctious all afternoon, so we're already hungry."

So the three of them sat at the table to eat and chat. Tao Qian was young and didn't have the airs of a prince at all. Although Qu Xiuchan was taking care of Xianglai, she was not a real court lady, and in her eyes, Tao Qian might be He followed in the footsteps of his own son, so he didn't mean to be jealous, and the three of them chatted very casually.

The two unsatisfactory eunuchs who were serving Tao Qian finally found them. Seeing that it was getting late, Tao Qian had no choice but to follow them back, and made an appointment to come back the next day.

Because she was worried about what was going on at Jingchun Pavilion, Qu Xiuchan went out to inquire again, and came back to tell Xianglai that Tao Yu was still annoyed there, and had already called Shi Yan, saying that Lian Xiangjin and Shi Yan would be killed. Yan together to punish.

Xianglai secretly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Lian Xiangjin must be finished this time, but Shi Yan is hard to say, if a famous general of the generation is killed unjustly because of a few rumors of his own, that would be too useless!
The two fell asleep with enough food and drink, and waited for the results the next day.

In the early morning of the next day, when Xianglai and Qu Xiuchan were freshening up, the people from Shangshi Bureau had already delivered the meals, six dishes and one soup, as well as exquisite snacks and fruit plates. It seemed that Tao Qian was really scared by Tao Qian yesterday.

After dinner, Qu Xiuchan went out to inquire again, but heard that Lian Xiangjin was forcibly given abortion pills and sent to the cold palace. Shi Yan was driven back to his mansion, and he was not allowed to contact military affairs.

Although Shi Yan had a few good ministers in the court, but if it was true, what was his intention to give the emperor his pregnant woman?Even if there is a reason to intercede for him, no one dares to make such a move.

When Xianglai learned about it, she laughed secretly at Tao Yu, who was really stupid. Cutting off the rights of a capable minister like Shi Yan was tantamount to binding his own hands and feet.

In any case, Tao Yu did her a great favor by doing this. Shi Yan and Lian Xiangjin can no longer pose a threat to her. The biggest headache for her now is how to get what she wants. Although that thing is not expensive, But the terrible thing is that neither he nor Qu Xiuchan, the only one he can trust, can't get out of the palace.

After much deliberation, she felt that if she really couldn't do it, she could only ask Tao Qian to help. Although she had only known this child for a day, she found that he was a simple and enthusiastic child. He still feels a little sorry for his father Xianglai.

She wanted to wait for Tao Qian to come and talk to him today, but she couldn't wait for him to come, and she couldn't see him coming when she waited for right. Xianglai didn't know if the child was stubborn and had to wait until the same time as yesterday. .

After being bored in the room for a whole morning, she planned to go out for a walk again. She was eight months pregnant, so she couldn't sit still.

But before she and Qu Xiuchan walked out of the house, they heard a eunuch preaching outside: "The Holy Majesty is here—!"

Both Xianglai and Qu Xiuchan were taken aback, Qu Xiuchan hurriedly stepped back to meet him, Xianglai stood there holding his stomach, thinking why Tao Yu came to her suddenly, and what he wanted to do.

After a while, Tao Yu came in, first looked at Xianglai's face, and then at her stomach.

Qu Xiuchan knelt there and said: "The concubine welcomes the emperor!"

Tao Yu waved his hand and said, "Go out first, I have something to ask the princess."

Qu Xiuchan secretly glanced at Xianglai worriedly, but she dared not disobey Tao Yu's words, so she got up from the ground and backed away gently.

Tao Yu sat down at the table carelessly, and then put his eyes on Xianglai's face like hooks. Seeing that Xianglai was uncomfortable, he couldn't help asking: "Huangzhi, I don't know why you came to my place." whats the matter?"

"Oh..." Tao Yu sucked the saliva from the corner of his mouth, and said, "I heard Qiong say that you know about Concubine Jin and Shi Yan, I don't know but it's true."

Xiang Lai laughed secretly, you idiot, this is something I made up, how could I say no.Thinking about it, he said: "Yes, because Concubine Jin and those people are very good at poisoning people, I asked Shi Yan to try dishes for me every day just to be on guard, but I heard it when I went late one day."

Tao Yu gritted his teeth and said, "This Shi Yan and Lian Xiangjin are really hateful. The imperial doctor said that even Xiangjin was three months pregnant, but that bitch just quibbled with me, saying that she was just pregnant! Shi Yan was pregnant Sending his child's woman to me is truly despicable!"

Xianglai deliberately said: "Your Majesty, you may have misunderstood, Lian Xiangjin was not given to you by General Shi, but you forcibly kept it. I remember that General Shi blocked Lian Xiangjin when you asked him to stay. "

Tao Yu said angrily: "Hmph, he's just pretending to stop him, if he didn't sincerely want to send Lian Wujin to me, just tell me that she is his woman, maybe I would still fight him What!"

Xiang Lai curled her lips secretly again and said, "It's really possible, just a lustful guy like you, maybe you can really do the trick of robbing ministers' wives."

Seeing that Xianglai was silent, Tao Yu asked again: "In addition to asking about the relationship between Shi Yan and Lian Xiangjin, I also want to ask you about the situation when Shi Yan surrounded the capital of the Northern Liao Dynasty. Let's talk about it in detail."

Xianglai knew that he must have suspected why Shi Yan trapped the capital of the Northern Liao Dynasty but did not actually kill Luo Jinxing, but only brought back the letter of surrender and himself.

She drooped her eyelids, looking sad, and said: "Oh, thinking that the general was besieging the city with heavy troops back then, our king had no way out, thinking that it was a doomed situation, but I didn't expect that the general was kind-hearted and refused to commit more crimes. Asked my king to offer a letter of surrender, hostages, and if there is any treasure, my king's life will be spared, and there is no forced attack on the city."

"Surrender, hostages, and treasures?!" Tao Yu immediately woke up.

Xianglai pretended not to notice his abnormal expression, and said in a normal manner: "Yes, there are people who don't offer treasures when they surrender, and Beiliao is no exception. It is said that our country was almost evacuated, but I didn't see it. Those things were escorted with the grain truck behind, and I only brought the letter of surrender when I left the city."

Tao Yu stared at her gloomyly, and said: "The princess's words are true? Why did I hear that Luo Xuan would rather die than surrender, and almost jumped into the city to die for his country! How could he obediently offer his treasures and food?"

Xianglai smiled, showing pride on his face, and pretended to be proud: "He refused to give in at the time because all of us were in the city, but it was different after I left the city. It's all under the control of others, how can he be stingy with money."
