Chapter 37 Goodbye on the battlefield
Chapter 37 Goodbye on the battlefield
Zhao Xiyan was imprisoned in the sky prison. The prison guard knew that it was King Duan who didn't dare to neglect, so he sent someone to clean it up before inviting Zhao Xiyan in.As a prince, Zhao Xiyan didn't have many chances to come to the sky prison, but Zhao Xiyan has come three times now.The first two times were because Zhao Xiyan was thrown into the Heaven Prison, the first time he came to see Zhao Xiyan in the Heaven Prison, and the second time he was also sent to the Heaven Prison because he pleaded for Zhao Xiyan and offended Emperor Shaoyuan. Heaven prison, this time the anti-order came in again.Zhao Xiyan looked at the cell on the left, and the past came to mind again. It was the place where Thirteenth Brother begged him to save him.But I am incompetent, I swore to return Thirteenth Brother's innocence and avenge him, but in the end, I was also imprisoned.Although the father didn't really want to kill him and punish him, he might have to shed a layer of skin for refusing to marry and resist the decree, and he had to beware of any other crimes that the crown prince would add.Zhao Xiyan just sat quietly in the prison and thought about it. The prison chief was a little puzzled when he saw Wang Duan lost his mind when he entered the prison.Could it be that the little ones didn't clean it well, and they were unhappy that the cell was dirty?This king Duan also entered the cell the year before last and came out safe and sound. This time, he must have offended the emperor somewhere again, so he came in again and punished him slightly.Thinking of this, the prison chief didn't dare to be negligent, and ran to him, leaning down respectfully.
"I've met Prince Duan. I don't know if the cell is clean. Do you want to clean it again? Do you need to pass some meals over? Now it's time for dinner."
Zhao Xiyan regained his thoughts after listening to the words of the prison chief, "The king ordered to come to the prison to reflect. You don't have to be too attentive to the prison officer. The king is not hungry, so you can send an errand to the palace to deliver the pass. With a sound, this king is ordered to reflect in prison for a few days, so that the princess does not have to worry."
"The little one, go pass the message in person. If the prince has any orders, call the little one."
"I'm sorry to trouble you, you can go now."
The warden went to Prince Duan's mansion non-stop and reported the matter to Su Qingshu. Su Qingshu never imagined that the emperor would be so cruel as to put the prince in prison.Su Qingshu hastily ordered the kitchen to make a few dishes and sweet-scented osmanthus cake that Zhao Xiyan liked to eat on weekdays, and followed the warden to the prison to visit him.Although the emperor verbally ordered Zhao Xiyan to be imprisoned in heaven, he did not say that others should not visit him.When Su Qingshu arrived at the prison, he only saw the father-in-law Fuzi next to Concubine Xia talking to the prince.Su Qingshu didn't hear what was said clearly, but it was really hard to see Wang Ye's face.
"My lord." Su Qingshu is wearing a white dress today, with red lips, matched with the gold hairpin Zhao Xiyan gave her that day, she exudes the air of a boudoir daughter, just like Yunying's unmarried daughter.
"Princess, why are you here? This is a prison, not a place where you wait for your daughter's family to come."
"The concubine heard that my father had thrown the prince into the dungeon, and was really anxious, so I came to see you."
"Since the lord and the concubine have something to talk about, the old slave will leave. Prince Duan, the concubine and the concubine have brought you the words that the concubine asked the servant to bring to you. I hope you will consider it carefully. The old slave will return to his command, and the lord take care."
"Eunuch Fu has worked hard all the way, so I asked the father-in-law and concubine mother to say that the son and minister have made up their minds and will not change."
Eunuch Fu shook his head, looked at Zhao Xiyan, and returned to the palace helplessly.Su Qingshu walked into the prison cell and looked around, the surrounding was dark and damp, his heart ached, he didn't know how long he would be locked up.Looking at the vicious surroundings, Su Qingshu knew that the prince must have rejected Mo Bei's marriage.Although she is a daughter who grew up in a boudoir, she is also a child of a family of officials and officials, and she also knows that resisting the decree is a serious crime of beheading and ransacking the house.
"My lord, are you resisting the decree?"
"The news came out so quickly?" Zhao Xiyan asked playfully when he saw Su Qingshu's sudden cheerfulness.
"Resisting the decree is a serious crime of beheading, my lord, why are you so confused! You can still laugh." Su Qingshu's eyes turned red when he thought of beheading, and he threw himself into Zhao Xiyan's arms.
"If I really agreed to divorce with you, I would be really confused if I married Princess Mobei."
"My lord is the Prince of Daqi. Three wives and four concubines don't matter at all. You can have any kind of beauties you want, so why bother to refuse this marriage and risk your life. Besides, Qing Shu is not worth it for the lord."
"Although I'm not a saint, I also know that I shouldn't give up. There are countless beauties in the world, but I became husband and wife with you. This is fate. I should be content with a wife like this. I promised You, only take one scoop of the three thousand weak waters, and don’t want the rest.”
"My lord, I grew up as a boudoir, but I also know that the emperor's life is hard to break. My concubine knows that the prince's affection for me is deep and righteous. My concubine is not as generous as the wives of those aristocratic families, but I also know that my husband's life is first and foremost. It's a big deal. The lord should separate from his concubine and marry the princess of Mobei. If you leave the green hills there, you won't have to worry about no firewood. You don't have to be stupid, lord." Su Qingshu said these words bitterly, lowering his head and pinching his left hand. With the right hand, Zhao Xiyan took everything in his eyes and smiled slightly.
"I have lived by the rules since I was a child. You know that the royal family is only superficial. I studied literature at the age of three and martial arts at the age of five. I have been alone for 17 years. I thought the books were always deceiving. How could it be so good? Girl, how can there be such a heartbeat, how can there be such a friendship, until I met you." Zhao Xi stretched out his right hand, raised a hook with his index finger, and gently hooked the tip of Su Qingshu's nose.
"At the beginning, I didn't like you at all, but you were very bold. Yue Xia expressed his heart and stood up for me when I was in danger. You know that everything warms my heart that has been cold for many years. And you know you Every frown, smile, and every move is engraved on my heart. If I lose you, I'm afraid I will regret it forever."
"I'm not as good as the prince said, it's just my unrequited love."
"Now you have stolen my heart, but you must be responsible to the end."
"But, but..."
"Go back, don't worry, my father won't kill me, I'm just locked up in the prison for a few days. I refused to marry, I have to explain to Mo Bei."
"Really?" Su Qingshu's eyes lit up when he heard Zhao Xiyan say that the emperor would not kill him.
"I'm his biological child. Is it possible that he will kill me for Princess Mobei? So you don't have to worry, go back quickly. The humidity in the sky prison is heavy, don't get sick. Go back for me and take good care of the meat buns. Good business, I will go back sooner."
"Then I'll come see you tomorrow, what would the lord want to eat?"
"Don't come to see me in the prison again in the future, I will go out in a few days."
Zhao Xiyan coaxed Su Qingshu back to the palace, Zhao Xiyan sat down alone and ate the food and wine.Those words were to coax the princess, and he was not sure how his father would explain to Mobei if he insisted not to marry Ulanya.The news that Duan Wang was thrown into the sky prison has already spread.The prince only felt that everything was under control, and the prince's attendant Jia Yuting offered a plan to poison and kill King Duan in prison, but the prince waved his hand and said that he didn't need to dirty his hands.Concubine Xia was so furious that her phoenix eyebrows were furrowed when she received the report from Father-in-law Fuzi.Wulan Kacha and Ulanya also received the news, and Wulan Kacha was really angry.King Duan and his imperial sister have already performed the ceremony of the Duke of Zhou, but they would rather take the crime of resisting the decree and beheaded and go to prison than marry their own imperial sister. This is really deceiving!Ulanya's tears were still on her face, but her eyes were empty.The face is full of shame and anger. This person and I have already become husband and wife, but he would rather die than marry her. What do you think she is!In the classroom, he said word by word that the love between him and the princess in his mansion was so deep and meaningful. Since it was such a loving relationship, why did he provoke her? Ulanya couldn't get the answer after thinking about it.That night, there was a waning moon outside the window, and I had insomnia in several places.
The next day, Ulan Kacha took Ulanya to the Emperor Daqi to ask for an explanation, but the Emperor sent someone too busy to refuse.Ulan Kacha got angry right away, but he didn't dare to get angry, this is Daqi after all.Ulanya didn't take it seriously either, and on the way back to the post house, she took her maidservant to the prison on horseback.Wulan Kacha couldn't call her, knowing that his younger sister had a strong temperament, so she probably didn't stop her who was looking for King Duan, and just sent someone to follow.Ulanya asked all the way to find the prison, but the guard at the gate stopped her.
"Who are you? How dare you go to the prison to make trouble."
"My princess is the Sixth Princess of Mobei, and I'm here to find your Duke Duan of Daqi."
"The princess waits outside the door, I'll go and tell Prince Duan if I can see you."
"Go quickly."
When the jailer heard that it was the princess of Mobei, he was annoyed, and he didn't dare to offend, so he hurriedly passed it on.After hearing this, Zhao Xiyan knew that it was Wulanya who had come to look for him, so he didn't dare to see her.This matter has to be settled, and no one else can replace him, so he should be the jailer.The jailer led Ulanya into the sky prison, unlocked Duanwang's cell and let Ulanya in.
"I don't know why the princess came to find Xiaowang?"
"Zhao Xiyan, do you really not know what's going on?"
"Xiao Wang is stupid. I don't know why the princess is looking for Xiao Wang? Please tell the princess clearly."
"This princess doesn't want to be sloppy with you. Tell me, why don't you want to marry me?"
"The princess should have a better husband. Xiao Wang is married."
"Then why did you spend the night with me..."
"Nothing happened between Xiao Wang and the princess that night, it was someone else who blamed Xiao Wang."
"You are talking nonsense, there are only you and me in the room!"
"That night, Xiao Wang was invited by the prince to go to the Zhaixing Tower to talk about brotherhood. When Xiao Wang opened the door, he smelled a scent of flowers and passed out. After that, Xiao Wang didn't know anything. What will happen next, princess Got it too."
"This matter is done, so it's possible that you still want to deny it! I don't want to hear this, I just want to know why you would rather resist the order and go to jail than marry me."
"Xiao Wang has already said in front of his father that there is already a beautiful wife in the mansion, and he does not want to betray her."
"Marrying me didn't make you divorce her."
"The rules of Daqi, the prince and the viscount are both concubines, and the princess is the princess of Mobei. If you marry the prince of Daqi, you must marry as a concubine. There is already a concubine in the little prince's mansion, and the prince and the concubine are married. Husband and wife, I really don't want to betray her. Divorcing the princess and marrying the princess, wouldn't it make Xiao Wang the one who betrayed his heart."
"What if I say, this princess is willing to be a side concubine?" Ulanya exhausted her courage, which surprised Zhao Xiyan. "Your Royal Highness is the princess of Mobei Great Khan, how can she marry someone else as a side concubine? It's not proper etiquette."
"I don't want to be polite."
"The princess should choose another good son-in-law. Xiao Wang is not the princess's target."
"Zhao Xiyan, you are a woman, and innocence is a top priority!"
"Of course Xiao Wang knows about it, but this matter..."
Ulanya lowered her posture so low, Zhao Xiyan was still unwilling to let go.Ulanya's grievance and shame welled up in her heart, making her eyes turn red.Ulanya didn't want to hear Zhao Xiyan's heartless words, so she raised her hand and slapped her again.This slap took a lot of force, it was crisp and loud, and it knocked Zhao Xiyan into a daze.Ulanya stared at Zhao Xiyan, tears rolling down her eyes.
"Zhao Xiyan, see you on the battlefield!"
Ulanya rushed out the door crying, Zhao Xiyan ignored the hotness on her face, and chased after Ulanya.Ulanya got on the horse and galloped away.Zhao Xiyan didn't have a horse in his hand, so naturally he couldn't catch up, and he was also punished and couldn't get out of the prison, so he could only watch Ulanya leave without looking back.Only then did Zhao Xiyan notice that his left cheek was red, swollen, and hot. The prison chief was terrified when he saw this, and hurriedly asked a doctor to show Wang Duan's face.
"Prisoner, don't rush to call the doctor, please prepare a pen and paper, and bring the letter to the prime minister."
"Little one, someone will send you a doctor and prepare paper and pens immediately."
Zhao Xiyan knew about Mobei's wolf ambitions when Ulanya said goodbye on the battlefield, and it seemed that he had planned to send troops for a long time.Zhao Xiyan hurriedly notified the prime minister, asking him to tell his father to prepare early when he goes to court tomorrow.
