pawn wife

That night, Xingnan Hou came secretly, and Zhao Jin met the uncle in the secret room.

"Uncle, how is aunt?"

Hearing this, Marquis Xingnan sighed, "Your aunt is fine, but now for her safety, I can only lock her up in the mansion forcibly..."

Zhao Jin's mood instantly sank to the bottom, allowing Xingnan Hou to make such a move to show outsiders that the situation outside is much more serious than the news he received, "Did something happen to Your Majesty? The one who did it was the Seventh Emperor Uncle Bar."

As a son-in-law, Xingnanhou has always been very low-key, but when the old emperor was able to marry his eldest daughter to him, it proved that this person must be the confidant of the old emperor's confidant, but even so, he was still put aside Together, the one with such great energy in this capital is none other than the veteran Xungui.

Concubine Zheng, the birth mother of the Seventh Prince, has never been as high-profile as Concubine Shu in the harem. She is the kind who moistens things and makes no noise. She hides herself very well, and even infiltrates the palace into a sieve. Forget it, in fact Concubine Shu is the pawn in the front, and Concubine Zheng is the one hiding behind to plunder the fruits of victory, so the death of the third prince is not injustice.

Xingnanhou didn't expect that Zhao Jin had already seen through everything, and now he opened the skylight to speak bluntly, "Your Majesty has been imprisoned in the bedroom by Concubine Zheng and the Seventh Prince, and now no one can get close to him, and there are traitors in Jinyiwei. It was too late for me to discover the abnormality, and finally I submitted the nomination certificate, which gained their trust, and I was able to move freely for a while, now you don't care so much, I have already arranged to send you out of Beijing, and you will only be more dangerous here. "

This danger is self-evident. Concubine Zheng and the Seventh Prince's mother and son have now controlled the center, and it is impossible to break through from the inside. They can only break through this layer of barriers from the outside in order to turn against the wind.

"What about grandfather?" Zhao Jin said in a deep voice.

The old emperor is a banner, and now it is in the hands of Concubine Zheng's mother and son. With his orders, the matter will become more complicated. No matter what, he cannot be ignored at this juncture, after all, he is related to the overall situation.

Marquis Xingnan also knew the stakes. As long as Concubine Zheng and his son successfully forced the old emperor to abdicate, then the seventh prince would be able to ascend the throne in a legitimate way. Pushed to the stage of desperation.

At this time, he gave way to the side, revealing the sluggish Si Gonggong behind him. Si Gonggong knelt down towards Zhao Jin and cried, "Your Highness, slaves are useless. You failed to rescue Your Majesty. Your Majesty took the medicine to fall into a coma." , This is why Concubine Zheng and the Seventh Prince did not force them to find out the location of Yuxi..."

As he spoke, he took out the Chuanguo Jade Seal from his arms with trembling hands, and what wrapped the Chuanguo Jade Seal was a piece of blood-stained bright yellow imperial decree. He lifted these two things and presented them in front of Zhao Jin.

"This is the decree of His Majesty before he fell into a coma. The imperial decree to establish the crown prince was written by His Majesty himself, and there is a file in the daily note, and this jade seal was brought out by His Majesty's servants and handed over to His Majesty. His Majesty said that His Majesty is what he wants. The heir..."

Speaking of this, he was already in tears.

If it hadn't been for the fact that the imperial decree of establishing the crown prince was peeped and told to Concubine Zheng, the old emperor would not have suffered such a catastrophe. Concubine Zheng's reaction was too quick.

In the early years, she used the reason that the old emperor was obsessed with cultivating immortals to place her eyeliner in the old emperor's bedroom, and then colluded with the then great eunuch Jiang Xing to secretly replace the people around the old emperor with theirs one by one. How could the old emperor not fall into the jaws of a tiger while devouring the whale?

Fortunately, he had only been a eunuch in charge of ceremonies for too short a time, and the group of people didn't think highly of him, thinking that he couldn't make any troubles, so they left him to serve the old emperor with his remaining life.

His cooperation finally made the guards relax their vigilance, and then they risked their lives to sneak out of the palace, and suffered a lot for this, as if they had returned to the time when they were helpless in the silkworm house.

Zhao Jin stepped forward to help the company, and smelled a strong stench on his body, which showed that his words were highly credible, but even so, he was not careless, took the jade seal and He read the imperial decree carefully by the candlelight in the secret room.

The old emperor's words were recognizable at a glance. This was indeed Dao's will to establish him as the crown prince. There was also a jade seal on it. As for the jade seal of Chuanguo, it was also true.

At this point, his eyes were slightly red, and he patted the company's shoulder lightly, "Huaijin, thank you for your hard work."

When the company heard the old name, he was in a daze for a while, and then burst into tears. Since he was cleansed, he deliberately forgot that his name was Si Huaijin. After he couldn't keep it for the Si family, he had no face to see the ancestors of the Si family. .

Xingnan Hou urged again, "Let's go quickly, everything has been arranged properly, if you don't go, it will be too late, people from the three major battalions can enter the capital before dawn, and now their leader is Concubine Zheng's old lover, the capital is I can't keep it."

It is self-evident what the backhand is. Xingnanhou is not only the old emperor's confidant, but also the best friend of Zhao Jin's biological father, Prince Duande.

"It would be very dangerous for my aunt to stay here. Why don't I let my aunt leave Beijing together..."

Xingnanhou shook his head and rejected the proposal, "Your aunt can't leave, if she leaves, then the nomination certificate I accepted will be meaningless, leave, I can still be an internal respondent here."

Zhao Jin took a deep look at the uncle, the aunt and eldest princess was given to Concubine Zheng, mother and son as a nomination by him, so that he could gain their trust, but in this way, could the aunt forgive him afterwards?

Xingnanhou smiled bitterly, "There are priorities, your aunt will understand, but I can swear to you, if your aunt is in danger, I will lay her body first, and they will not let you Something happened to your aunt."

"Your Highness, let's go, it won't be easy to leave Beijing any later." Si Huaijin also urged, "We can't fall by the wayside."

Yes ah, can not fall short.

Zhao Jin gritted his teeth, stretched out his arms and hugged Xingnanhou, "I will never forget my uncle's contribution today."

Xingnanhou's eyes were slightly moist, and he stretched out his arms to hug the son of his close friend. After this farewell, he didn't know if there would be a day when we would meet again. Fortunately, his eldest son was far away in Yiyang, at least he could stay. after.

Only then did Zhao Jin take Si Huaijin, Zhou Nan and a small number of experts, and secretly left Beijing along the arranged route under the cover of night.

A group of people was in a hurry, turned into merchants, they encountered the three major battalions of soldiers and horses that were hastily deployed in the suburbs. The sound of horseshoes was deafening. Daying escaped under the nose.

Looking back at the capital again, I saw only smoke and dust billowing.

Zhao Jin was not the only one who fled, the adult princes who felt something was wrong had already escaped, and the seventh prince Zhao Gong, who was still trying to wake up the old emperor in the palace to know the whereabouts of Yuxi, was suddenly furious.

"They all ran away?"

"Yes, Your Highness, except for the third prince who is dead, the fourth prince, sixth prince, and eighth prince are all gone."

"Damn it!" Zhao Gong punched the table, gnashing his teeth in pain, and then thought of the most important person, "Where's the eldest grandson? We must watch him, and don't allow him to run away."

The old man was eccentric, the weight of these sons in his heart was no more than that of a grandson, and he hated it when he thought about it.

Speaking of this, the subordinate sweated on his forehead and said, "The eldest grandson... also ran away..."
