Poisonous Peasant 'Concubine'

Chapter 658 Departure, the queen ran away from home again

That night, everyone in Jingyun Villa didn't sleep well, and Yan Xiaoming, who chased Xiao Baozi out, didn't come back either. Before dawn the next day, everyone got up one after another. Escorting Chu Yunhan and the others to the pier to board the ship, Yan Shengrui and Ling Jingxuan led thousands of newly assembled troops to the east gate.

"Prince Sheng is a thousand years old!"

The civil and military officials at the gate of the city had waited a long time to see them appear, and knelt down in unison, and the shouts of the people were heard one after another in the city. The leader, Yan Xiaoming, was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, and strode Walking towards them, I don't know if it was their illusion, but his eyes seem to be a little cold and sharp today, and his aura is also very frightening.

"Bring the wine!"

Standing in front of them, Yan Xiaoming gave a deep drink, and Zhao An, who was always by his side, quickly took the tray from the little eunuch and stepped forward. At the same time, several other little eunuchs also delivered the wine to the following In the hands of several vanguard generals behind them and Yan Yi and Yan Si in armor, Yan Xiaoming personally poured wine into three large bowls, and handed two of them to Yan Chengrui and Ling Jingxuan's hands respectively.

"Uncle Nine Emperors, Emperor Father, hereby I wish you good news and success, and you will be invincible in every battle!"

He held up the bowl of wine that belonged to him high, and Yan Xiaoming stared at them with sharp eyes. Last night, when he chased to the pier, Xiao Wu had just arrived. They chatted for a long time until late at night. If he didn't leave, he reluctantly bid farewell to Xiao Wu. Until now, the words he said, that he would protect the country for him in place of his father, still echoed in his ears. Originally, he was the emperor, but he just wanted to protect his shortcomings in a legitimate way. , wanted to protect them as much as possible, but because of Qingguo's accumulated decline over the years, internal and external troubles, they were helping him remove obstacles. The incident shocked him too much. No matter what, even if they exhausted all the national power and exhausted the treasury that was gradually filling up, they must win. He never wanted to bid farewell to Xiao Wu like last night.

"Sir, obey the order!"

Yan Shengrui and Ling Jingxuan glanced at each other, the husband and wife raised their wine bowls, and they were about to set off soon, talking too much would make people think they were just trying to show off their words, instead of that, it's better not to say anything, as a general, Only victory can prove themselves.

"Soldiers and soldiers, I hope that everyone will work together to shock the border with Uncle Nine Emperors, expel the barbarians, and punish those who violate our land!"

Yan Xiaoming looked past them and looked at the generals behind them again. A group of generals headed by Weiyuan Hou Shizi Zeng Shaorong held up their wine bowls: "Those who violate our country will be punished!"

"Dry!"

"Dry!"

The monarchs and ministers were united, and they all raised their heads and downed the strong wine, and then they all smashed the wine bowls to show their determination. The leader Yan Chengrui Ling Jingxuan got on his horse, and before leaving, he tightened the reins and looked deeply at Yan Xiao Ming: "Take care, Your Majesty, please wait for our good news!"

"Uncle Nine Emperors, Imperial Father too... Take care!"

Yan Xiaoming's heart tightened, but all he blurted out was to take care of himself.

"set off!"

Yan Shengrui took one last look at him, shouted loudly and turned the horse's head, Ling Jingxuan gently dropped the word "take care" and followed, Yan Xiaoming subconsciously took a few steps forward, but he couldn't let himself catch up, he could only watch helplessly Seeing the thousands of soldiers composed of shadow guards leaving on tall horses, Yan Xiaoming did not leave for a long time, and the civil and military officials who followed him did not dare to urge him, because every time Everyone knows that the emperor has an unusual relationship with Prince Sheng and his wife.

At the same time, the Western Palace

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is not well..."

After the daily routine morning court, Sikong Tun would call the prime minister and the six ministers and the imperial study room to discuss the state affairs. There are some exceptions. Prince Sikong Qi asked for sick leave early in the court and did not come. As the emperor, Sikong Tuan seemed to be worried about something. Who knows, the chief eunuch beside him rushed in in a panic, and several ministers frowned. , what happened to Eunuch Li today?

Sikong Tuna's complexion darkened, and he quickly threw the cinnabar pen in his hand on the dragon table. His phoenix eyes were so cold that he looked at Eunuch Li. , Your Majesty, the empress is not in the East Palace, nor is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

He is afraid of the emperor, but he is even more afraid of the disappearance of the queen and the prince. God knows how fucked up their queen is. They disappear from time to time every year. Every time they disappear, they will be unlucky. The emperor is cold enough on weekdays, and the queen disappears until During the time I came back, no matter what the season was, the Imperial Palace could be said to be shrouded in ice and snow. What's more, this time the Queen also abducted His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Now it's not just Eunuch Li, even several ministers are afraid to look up at their monarch. At the same time, I don't know if it's their illusion, but they always feel that the temperature in the imperial study room has dropped several degrees.

"What do the people in the East Palace say?"

I don't know how long it took before Sikong Tutank finally spoke kindly. However, the expressionless handsome face seemed to be covered with a layer of materialized ice, and every word was smashed on the ground like ice beads. Everyone shuddered subconsciously, and Eunuch Li even held back his fear and raised his head. After seeing his expression, he quickly lowered his head and said without tears: "My lord, before leaving, the queen asked the steward of the East Palace to tell your majesty He, he, he took the crown prince to meet his deceased friend, and... Also, the empress is still calling the police, warning Your Majesty, if you dare to deal with people from the East Palace or Xifeng Palace, he will deal with you when he comes back! Your Majesty, forgive me, Damn the servant!"

After finally finishing speaking tremblingly, Eunuch Li was forced to kneel down, wishing he could disappear with the queen prince, the empress became more and more outrageous, and one day they all these slaves would let him make trouble to death.

"Old friend?"

Chewing these two words lightly, Sikong Tuan picked up a letter from the dragon case that he had just received not long ago with elegant and slow movements. Not long ago, they unexpectedly occupied the border city of Qingguo. Judging by their speed, they should continue to seize the border cities. It is said that Yan Chengrui and Ling Jingxuan just returned to the capital after solving the matter in southern Xinjiang. He must have received the battle report at this time, right?With the two of them as human beings, how could they make Beiman mess up?The war between the Three Kingdoms and the Northern Man has officially started. It seems that they have to stand on their side as soon as possible and join the battle. As for his queen, since he is an old friend, she must go to the border to meet Ling Jingxuan. There is really nothing to do with him. I hope he doesn't mess with him.

"Your Majesty? Do you want to send someone to recover the queen and prince?"

Seeing that he hadn't spoken for a long time, Eunuch Li had to raise his head tremblingly under the "all expectations", Sikong Tun casually put the folder aside, squinted his eyes slightly and leaned back on the chair, his fingers resting on the dragon table lightly tapped the beat , After a while, he asked in a nonchalant manner: "How long has it been since Prince Hao returned to the imperial city?"

I don't know why he asked this question. Ministers, look at me and look at you. The old prime minister stepped forward and said respectfully: "Reporting to Your Majesty, since His Majesty ascended the throne and got married, Prince Hao has invited himself to be by his side. It has been more than a year, and I have never been back during this period, and the Prince's Mansion has always been presided over by the princess."

Prince Hao has always been a master who does his own way. Those who can force him are not willing to force him, and those who cannot force him can only watch. Fortunately, His Majesty and Prince Hao have a deep brotherhood, otherwise, the Prince’s Mansion might have given up People underestimated it, a mansion that has no man in charge all the year round, Mingshibai is the prince's mansion, after a long time, some people who don't have eyes will bully it.

"Has it been three years? Little Li, pack up. This year I'm going to the border to comfort the soldiers. By the way, I will get together with the second brother. The Minister of the Ministry of War will go with me."

For his daughter-in-law, he also worked hard, and he was able to come up with such a high-sounding excuse.

"Your Majesty, you can't. Now that the border is in chaos, and the northern barbarians invade the border of the Qing Kingdom again, Prince Qing Guocheng will definitely send troops to defend against the enemy. If the two armies fight on a large scale, it will inevitably affect the border of our Western Kingdom. Your Majesty, my lord of gold, what if something goes wrong?? May Your Majesty think twice!"

The old prime minister knelt down and objected without even thinking about it, and the six ministers followed suit one after another: "Your minister waits for a second opinion!"

"I've made up my mind, there's no need to say any more, little Lizi, why don't you hurry up and get ready?"

But is Sikong Taurus the kind of person who will be manipulated casually?For his daughter-in-law and son who are running away from home, he wants to go even if it is a sea of ​​swords and flames. Moreover, he also wants to meet Prince Cheng and his wife. As a result, there has been basically no outbreak of smallpox in the Western Kingdom, and the harvest of crops has continued to grow. At the same time, his queen has followed their example and opened a college similar to Qingguo Hanling Academy in the Western Kingdom, which undoubtedly won great praise from the people. I heard that the princess The cheap pharmacy and the sorghum wine from his natal family are also very popular among the people. Many people will go to Qingguo to purchase them. If it weren't for the fact that they have been in southern Xinjiang for the first half of the year, they may have introduced these two things. These are beneficial to the country. He has always been making a fuss about things that benefit the people, but... let the hateful Beiman interfere, and I don't know when the two countries will resume economic and trade exchanges, or they will never be able to resume!

Thinking of this, a sharp look flashed across Sikong Yu's eyes. Everyone is not stupid. Bei Manmao hastily occupied the city of Qingguo. There must be a shadow of Dongguo in it. Whether to annex Qingguo with Dongguo Beiman, or assist Qingguo to fight back together, or even eat Dongguo and Beiman, he has to wait until he meets Yan Shengrui and his wife again to decide.

"Your Majesty, why don't you think again? The border is now"

Eunuch Li didn’t dare to move at all, and he gritted his teeth and raised his head bravely after a long while, but before he finished speaking, Sikong Tuan gave him a cold look and turned back: “The Queen only said that people in the Eastern Palace cannot be punished, but she didn’t say that she couldn’t.” To punish you, Little Li, are you looking for death?"

"No, I don't dare, my servant will go right away, just go..."

Hearing this, Eunuch Li trembled like sifting chaff, got up and ran outside, as if there was an evil spirit chasing after him, the ministers headed by the prime minister exaggeratedly wiped off their cold sweat, and then wanted to admonish them However, Sikong Tatar stopped giving them a chance to speak, stood up and waved his hands: "Everyone, come back, I will make detailed arrangements about my going to the border tomorrow morning."

After finishing speaking, Sikong Tatar strode away, watching the ministers who left him look at me and you, all shook their heads helplessly, the emperor is a good emperor, no matter to them, his ministers or the common people, he has thought of everything, But he is a bit willful, just like his queen, who is often confusing and powerless.
