imperial concubine

Chapter 138
The entire side hall was suddenly silent, and a needle could be heard falling.Even Zhu Ru, who was originally worried about the safety of the young lady, froze in place, not knowing whether she should go up to clean up the filth for the fourth prince, or help the young lady in to rest.

After a dozen or so breaths of silence, the fourth prince frowned and said in a cold voice: "You all go out! Zhuru, you stay to serve the palace and the concubine."

The other maids and eunuchs woke up with a start, knowing that they had seen something they shouldn't have seen, and hurriedly retreated out of the side hall with their heads down.Only Zhuru stepped forward to support Su Wan.

The fourth prince's eyes flashed a faint hostility, and he said to Zhuru: "Go and take a bath for your young lady, and then serve her to sleep. Ben Gong will come and change her clothes!"

The words were full of anger. Obviously, Su Wan's behavior just now made the fourth prince really angry, so he made up his mind to finish his plan tonight.

The fourth prince left the side hall to change clothes, Su Wan finally breathed a sigh of relief, just now he was drunk and really couldn't control it.Fortunately, this is the case, otherwise I am afraid that I will not be able to survive tonight.

Just as he was thinking, he heard footsteps outside the door, and then the fourth prince pushed the door in and said in an extremely gentle voice: "My concubine, I'm here to bring you hangover soup."

Just now Su Wan just pretended to be drunk, but now when he heard the fourth prince came in again, he straightened his clothes, and then sat in the quiet room.When the fourth prince came in and saw Su Wan, who was just a little drunk, he couldn't help being stunned.

Seeing the hangover soup in the hands of the Fourth Prince, Su Wan sneered and said, "Your Highness, please put down the hangover soup. If Your Highness has nothing else to do, Su Wan will have a rest. Walk slowly."

If it weren't for the fact that his current power was not strong enough to resist the fourth prince, the fourth prince's repeated testing of himself would be enough to make Su Wan turn against him.What's more, today the fourth prince still has the intention of acting like a fool.

Although Su Wan was refreshed, there was no one else in the quiet room except Zhuru at this time. The fourth prince put the soup away, and instead of leaving, he said with a playful smile: "My concubine, there is one more thing. I still want to kiss Fangze."

Although Su Wan had already guessed what the fourth prince was thinking, she didn't expect him to be so shameless and want to use brute force to accomplish things!Even though Su Wan is the most intelligent woman in the world, when it comes to strength, she is just an ordinary woman.

As a last resort, Su Wan could only rely on the spaciousness of the palace to deal with the four princes. Just when Su Wan was about to exhaust her strength, she only heard the sound of hurried footsteps outside the quiet room, and then a strange voice sounded outside the window, " Your Highness, there is an urgent message from Zhubi!"

Hearing the voice outside the window, Su Wan finally breathed a sigh of relief. Since it was an urgent message from Zhubi, something extremely important must have happened, and she was considered safe tonight.

Sure enough, the fourth prince shook his head with a look of regret, then straightened his clothes and sat on the main seat; afterward Su Wan also straightened his clothes and sat under the fourth prince.Only then did the Fourth Prince open his mouth to call the person outside the door in.

As soon as the fourth prince finished speaking, an eunuch walked into the door. Su Wan recognized that it was the fourth prince's personal eunuch, Teng Wu.He walked a few steps in front of the fourth prince, knelt on the ground, looked at Su Wan a few times, and said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, there is an urgent message from Zhubi."

Obviously, this letter was extremely important, even to the point where Su Wan had to avoid it.Su Wan saw Teng Wu's concerns, so she got up and smiled, and was about to leave the quiet room.

Sitting on the main seat, the fourth prince waved his hand and said to Su Wan: "My concubine doesn't have to be like this." Then he said to Teng Wu on the ground: "Just talk about anything! Concubine Ai and Bengong are of one mind, nothing more than each other. "

Su Wan was very interested in this urgent letter from Zhubi, and what he did just now was just a pretense.As for the words that the fourth prince was kind to Su Wan in the end, he just pretended not to hear them.After all, no matter how nice the words are, they are not as good as the actions shown.

Seeing what the fourth prince said, Teng Wu took out an urgent letter written in ink pen, opened it in public and read slowly: "On June [-]th, Daliang's army invaded the border and conquered five cities in one day and night. Now, Daliang's army When Daijing City is blocked, guard Qin Yunliang."

Sure enough, something big happened.Daliang, who had never committed any crime in the autumn, would actually send his troops south at this time, and conquer five cities in one day and one night. If they break through Daijing City again, the hinterland of the imperial court will be allowed to drive straight in!
Although Su Wan is no longer the eldest princess, upon hearing Teng Wu's return, she couldn't help asking: "How many soldiers and horses are there in Daijing City? How many days is enough food and grass? How many people at the border have become refugees?"

At this time, the frontier has reached a critical moment, if Qin Yunliang can't stand Dai Jingcheng, I'm afraid that the plan he made with great difficulty will be changed because of it.

Teng Wu was extremely steady. Hearing Su Wan's question, he said, "Return to the princess, this is just news from the Ministry of War. As for the specific situation, I'm afraid only His Majesty knows now."

Although the fourth prince's current power is small, he still has some eyes and ears in Beijing.In particular, the fourth prince has a good relationship with Huo Jing, and there are still a few close friends in the Ministry of War. It is not surprising to get news at this time.

Only now did the fourth prince who was above the throne react, "Since father already knows, then we don't need to worry about it, just wait for father's arrangement. Teng Wu, you go down first!"

Teng Wu resigned, the fourth prince was overwhelmed by the news, and lost all interest.He frowned and thought about it for a long time on the main seat, but he still couldn't figure out why Daliang suddenly sent his troops south.

After a long time, the fourth prince looked at Su Wan, but Su Wan was also looking at him.The fourth prince's face remained unchanged, he frowned and said: "Sir, what happened so suddenly, what do you think of it?"

Although just now the fourth prince wanted to take advantage of the strength of wine to cook cooked rice with Su Wan, but now it seems impossible.So the fourth prince immediately regarded Su Wan as the think tank who made plans for him before, and began to ask her opinion.

The corner of Su Wan's mouth was raised slightly, and he said to the fourth prince with a smile: "Military affairs are planned by the brains. The courtiers and concubines are just women, how dare you speak nonsense? Your Highness decides on his own."

Just now the fourth prince dared to treat him like that, if it wasn't for the timely delivery of the ink pen, he might have been poisoned by now.Since the fourth prince wanted a concubine who would make him sleepless, he should be a concubine quietly.

Of course the fourth prince knew that Su Wan was angry, so he stepped forward and bowed respectfully to Su Wan, and then said to her: "Sir, Zeyue just lost his mind after drinking, sir, don't be angry."

Seeing the respectful look of the fourth prince, Su Wan sneered.Such a powerful face-changing skill, I am afraid that I am not as good as it.If you don't take advantage of this matter to give the fourth prince a hard time, I'm afraid he will revert to his old ways in the future!
So Su Wan said to the Fourth Prince: "What is your Highness doing? What's more, you and I are husband and wife, why are you angry? It's just that Su Wan really doesn't understand this important military matter."

Although Su Wan said that she doesn't understand military affairs, judging from the few questions Su Wan asked just now, Su Wan not only understands, but also works hard on it, which is probably no less than poetry and writing!

Seeing that Su Wan was about to sit on the sidelines, the fourth prince saluted again, "Zeyue lost his temper just now. If Mister can help Zeyue regardless of past suspicions, Zeyue will definitely not do anything inappropriate to Mister in the future."

Although the fourth prince's words were resounding, Su Wan didn't believe a word.The fourth prince had made an agreement with him before, but didn't he still turn a blind eye and regret it tonight?
Thinking of this, Su Wanjiao smiled and said to the Fourth Prince: "What does your Highness mean by this? You and I are husband and wife, why are Your Highness and my concubine so estranged? Could it be that the concubine did something wrong?"

The fourth prince is scratching his heart with all kinds of claws now, and his intestines are almost turning green with regret.If I had known that such a big incident would happen at the border, even if I entered Su Wan's quiet room at night, it would be two completely different scenes now.

It's just that things have come to this point, and I have no choice but to beg Su Wan in a low voice.Thinking of this, the fourth prince said with a wry smile: "Sir, don't play tricks on Zeyue anymore. Zeyue did something extremely wrong just now, please forgive me, sir."

Seeing a hint of impatience flashing in the fourth prince's eyes, Su Wan knew that she had reached the point of playing with him, and if she continued, she would be in danger of being burned, so she just accepted it when she saw it was good.

So Su Wan looked at the fourth prince coldly, and then said: "Your Highness really knows what I did wrong? I don't think His Highness seems to have any repentance at all."

Hearing that Su Wan's tone finally wavered, the fourth prince finally breathed a sigh of relief.As long as Su Wan is willing to let go, then she can get through this time in peace again.

Thinking of this, the fourth prince said to Su Wan: "Zeyue really knows that he is wrong. Feel free to ask what you want, as long as Zeyue can do it, you will definitely agree to it!"

The fourth prince's current power is not great, and there are very few things he can do.It was precisely because of this that the fourth prince dared to boast so much.

Su Wan said: "Since Your Highness is sincerely repentant, Su Wan will naturally give His Highness a chance. However, I will make an agreement with His Highness for three chapters. If His Highness dares to violate any of these clauses after today, Su Wan will definitely make His Highness regret it for the rest of his life!"

Although Su Wan didn't say which three chapters it was, the fourth prince had already begun to nod his head.Obviously, the fourth prince needs Su Wan's help very much now, otherwise he wouldn't be so at a loss.

Su Wan said slowly: "First, Your Highness has no choice but to try to get involved with me in any way; second, the quiet room is an enclave in the Yiliang Palace, and anyone who enters the quiet room can only obey Su Wan's orders." "Thirdly, my lady-in-waiting, you must not scold me at will!"

These three items are actually very simple, and the Fourth Prince agreed after thinking for a moment.Anyway, Su Wan can only stay in her own palace no matter what, as long as she is patient, she will become her own sooner or later.

After thinking clearly in his mind, the fourth prince and Su Wan clapped their hands together to form an alliance.As soon as the applause fell, the fourth prince asked impatiently: "Sir, why did Daliang suddenly invade our border? How can we use this incident to attack the power of the second prince and the crown prince?"

Although at this time five cities on the border had been destroyed and tens of thousands of people were displaced, the fourth prince was still most concerned about how to strengthen his own power, and he never cared about the life and death of ordinary people.

Su Wan shook her head and said to the Fourth Prince: "This matter is still unclear. Apart from the destruction of the five border cities, we don't even know how many people are in the Daliang Army. How can we talk about attacking the Second Prince and the Crown Prince?"

Hearing Su Wan's words, the fourth prince nodded, and then said to her: "Sir, please rest first. Zeyue will go and find out the news now!"

After saying that, she left the quiet room without looking back, but Su Wan began to worry about what happened to the people at the border.
