The queen mother wants to go against the sky: General, please take your seat

Chapter 998 Rainy Night, Father and Daughter

There was a thunder outside the window, which rattled the window lattice. Princess Anping stood in the study, she jumped slightly in shock, and turned her head to look at the window on her left hand side.

After the thunder, heavy rain poured down, and the flowers and trees in the garden outside the window grew prosperously. When the heavy rain came, countless branches and leaves of the flowers and trees were immediately knocked down, covering the ground with green leaves and red flowers.

"Anping," Prince Rui slowed down his voice and called out to his sister, "It's just raining, don't be afraid."

Princess Anping nodded quickly, but she forgot the question she asked her brother just now.

"Go back and rest," Prince Rui said, "If you think it's hard to walk on the rainy road, you can temporarily rest in my wing room and wait until the rain stops before you go."

Princess Anping said: "I'll go back now and don't bother my brother." Her imperial brother has ministers of civil and military affairs coming here from time to time, so it's inconvenient for her to stay here.

"Alright," Prince Rui said, "Then you go, be careful on the road."

Princess Anping turned her head and walked out of the study room. She was almost at the door, and then she remembered what she was here for. She hurriedly stopped and turned her head to look at her elder brother who was still sitting behind the desk.

"I will go to see my grandfather." This time, before Princess Anping could ask, Prince Rui said, "You don't need to worry about this matter, Anping."

"Yes, I will listen to brother," Princess Anping agreed to Prince Rui, pushed the door open and walked out of the study.

After a while, Prince Rui said in the study: "Zhao Jihuan."

Zhao Jihuan, who had been guarding the door of the study, hurried into the room and said, "Master."

"My grandfather brought a troop?" Prince Rui looked at Zhao Jihuan and asked.

Zhao Jihuan's face showed shock, because he didn't believe it, Zhao's bodyguard said subconsciously: "Really? How is this possible?"

"Go and investigate," Prince Rui said.

"Yes," Zhao Jihuan hurriedly took the order, and a troop entered the city. It is impossible for them here in Xiyuan to know about such a thing, so Zhao Jihuan can be sure that even if Mr. Fu really brought a troop over, this It is impossible for a soldier to enter the city at this moment.

Zhao Jihuan was ordered to leave, but he heard his prince say behind him: "Remember, don't let this army enter the city."

"Yes, this subordinate understands," Zhao Jihuan took the order again and hurried out.

In the big room at the back of the Xi Garden, Concubine Wei was sitting at the top, and Wei Jingting was sitting at the bottom left of her daughter. Hearing Princess Anping say that Prince Rui would come to see his grandfather, Concubine Wei had a smile on her face and said to her father: "Look. The lord is happy to see my father come over, so my father will wait for the lord a little longer."

Wei Jingting nodded his head with his beard. He has aged very much these years. Back then, the head of the Imperial Academy was praised as an immortal, but now he is just an old man who is about to die.

"Go and rest," Concubine Wei said to her daughter again, "Miss, don't stay up all night." Now she is in a good mood, and Concubine Wei also treats Princess Anping with rare warmth these days.

Princess Anping and Concubine Wei have nothing to say now. After hearing Concubine Wei's rare words of caring about her, Her Royal Highness didn't respond. She bent her knees at Concubine Wei and left.

Seeing Princess Anping leave, Mr. Wei sighed and said: "If this is a peaceful time, Her Royal Highness should marry."

Concubine Wei's expression darkened for a moment, who could say otherwise?She is a good daughter, a golden branch and jade leaf in the emperor's family, but she didn't expect to end up in a sad marriage.

"Forget it," Mr. Wei turned to comfort his daughter and said, "When the overall situation is settled, do you still worry about Her Royal Highness not being able to find a lover? The prince is only a sister of the same mother. If he treats anyone badly, he will not treat Her Royal Highness badly." .”

Concubine Wei said, "Who knows what will happen after this?"

Mr. Wei looked at the wide open door, his eyes were slightly closed, and he looked preoccupied.

Concubine Wei looked at her father like this, and felt upset again for no reason, and said: "It's not that the prince doesn't have soldiers and horses in his hands, but I don't know what's wrong, these warriors who look majestic and majestic, when they are on the battlefield, all of them are invincible." Without a fight."

Mr. Wei didn't answer Dowager Wei's words either.

Concubine Wei's expression became a little excited, she looked at Old Man Wei and said, "Father also thinks I'm meddling in politics now?"

Only then did Old Man Wei turn his head to look at his daughter again, frowning and said, "Madam Taifei, matters on the battlefield are not your business."

Concubine Wei said in a sharp voice: "That bunch of trash, why don't you let them talk about it?"

"Ms. Taifei!" Old Master Wei emphasized his tone.

Concubine Wei used to treat her father in awe, but now that she has gone through so many things, she is no longer afraid of anything. After hearing her father's displeasure, Concubine Wei sneered and said, "What year is it now? I am Just sit back and enjoy the wealth, but can I? Father, don’t talk to me about the rules, now there are no rules at all.”

Mr. Wei closed his mouth and looked towards the door again, apparently not wanting to talk to his daughter anymore.

Concubine Wei also got angry and stopped talking, and the father and daughter who hadn't seen each other for a long time just sat in the big room.

The rain outside the house showed no signs of weakening. Xiyuan's bright lights at ordinary nights seemed faint in this rainy night.

Holding the umbrella by the guards, Prince Rui walked out of the courtyard of the study, and asked the guards following behind him: "Zhao Jihuan hasn't come back yet?"

"Not yet," the guard who was questioned hurriedly replied.

Prince Rui's expression was sullen.

The guard said, "Either the younger one will go and look for it?"

Prince Rui shook his head and said, "No need."

At this time, in a dark place at the top of the east city of Xiangzhou, a man was sitting in a hanging basket and was placed outside the city from the top of the city.The man jumped out of the hanging basket, went down into the moat, and swam to the opposite bank. After landing, the man ran forward without looking back at Xiangzhou City behind him.This man ran very fast, while the unhappy man ran slowly on horseback, it can be seen that the lightness kung fu of this man's feet is very good.

Not long after the man left, Zhao Jiji went up to the tower in the east city and saw the general Zhou Jin who was on duty tonight.

"What's the matter with the lord?" Zhou Jin was also regarded as a trusted general by Prince Rui's side, seeing Zhao Jihuan rushing in the rain, General Zhou immediately asked.

Before Zhao Jihuan spoke, he took a look outside the city. There was no one outside the city at the moment, and it was dark in the distance, and he couldn't see anything clearly in the heavy rain.

"You all retreat first," Zhou Jin told everyone around him to retreat.

Zhao Jihuan lowered his voice and said to Zhou Jin: "Mr. Fu has arrived and said he brought a troop to help the prince. General Zhou, my prince has an order not to let this troop into the city."

After hearing Zhao Jihuan's words, Zhou Jin also subconsciously took a look outside the city. Does it look like there is a soldier waiting outside the city?

"Mr. Fu entered the city from the east city," Zhao Jihuan told Zhou Jin again.

Zhou Jin said: "When did this happen?" He came to Dongcheng on duty at dusk today, and the general who handed over the defense to him didn't tell him that he saw Fu Jingting entering the city, but he didn't see Fu Jingting entering the city either. People flew into Xiangzhou city?Either Zhao Jihuan's information was wrong.
