All the ancestors in the capital begged me to be a substitute

Chapter 282 The Battle of Zhanlongpo

Now that Xu Ziyao got into the carriage, Chu Yan would never ride again.

It happened that Xu Huan also came out of the mansion from afar, so Chu Yan simply called Xu Huan back to the palace together.

The purpose of the husband and wife is the same, they both want to extract something useful from the mouth of the brother and sister.

The moment the curtain was lowered and the carriage started slowly, Xu Ziyao got up straight away, knelt down in front of Shen Lingxi, and said in a low voice, "Please, the princess, please save my mother."

A little surprise flashed in Shen Lingxi's eyes.

The disharmony between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law between the old lady of Zhenguo Gong and the Cao family is actually a family matter of Zhenguo Gong's house.

Even though Shen Lingxi is now the Crown Princess, there is absolutely no reason to meddle in the family affairs of the Duke's Mansion.

not to mention……

She has always cared only about the dead.

Matters between living people are really tricky and troublesome, and she doesn't want to take care of them, let alone take care of them.

"You get up first."

Shen Lingxi stretched out his hand to help her up, let her sit on the opposite side, and then said slowly: "If the matter between your grandmother and mother is just now, it belongs to your family's family affairs. If you don't know what to do, you want to tell me Listen, I can help you with the details, as for the others, it is really inconvenient for me to intervene."

Xu Ziyao knew very well that she and Shen Lingxi had only met each other a few times, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that they met by chance.

Seeing that Shen Lingxi did not refuse outright, Xu Ziyao was already very grateful.

"I know that the empress will not interfere with the family affairs of the government..." She paused, her heroic eyes showed some firmness, "But if this matter...isn't it just a family matter?"

"Oh?" Shen Lingxi's eyes flickered slightly, with a surprised look on his face, "How do you say that?"

Xu Ziyao seemed to be deliberating where to start. After a few breaths of silence, Fang slowly said: "Since I was young, my grandfather took my father and elder brother out to fight with soldiers all the year round. There are only my grandmother, my mother and my second uncle at home. In the capital."

"When my mother married my father back then, it was my grandmother who came to propose marriage on my father's behalf. Although the Cao family in Suzhou is not a very prominent family, they also fought with the Taizu. It's just that the population is not prosperous, and they ended up with a small family. The end of the family is full of loyalty. The Cao family is thin, so naturally they have less to rely on, but only the soldiers left by the grandfather are still loyal."

"Since my grandmother insisted on marrying in for my father, my grandmother is very affectionate to my mother. There is also a deep relationship between my mother and my father. Soon after we got married, my mother became pregnant with my brother, and my grandmother was even more affectionate to my mother. There is nothing wrong with my mother. Since I was a child, I have never seen my grandmother and my mother blushed until... my second uncle passed away."

"Father and second uncle are twins of the same mother, but the second uncle was born with a weak disease, unable to ride a horse, unable to carry a gun, so he can only help grandmother and aunt in the capital to manage the Duke's mansion .”

"Second Uncle first married Aunt Ji, and I heard that the two of them had been in love for a while. It was just that there was some quarrel between the two. Aunt Ji decided to reconcile with Second Uncle, but Second Uncle refused. Grandmother I also like Aunt Ji very much, and I want to reconcile it, the ancestor of the Shen family, after a few words of persuasion in front of my grandmother, my grandmother came forward to let my second uncle and Aunt Ji reconcile."

Hearing this, Shen Lingxi also remembered that when the Shen family's grandmother passed away, in the mourning hall, the grandmother said to a woman who came to offer her condolences: "Hey, Miss Ji is here too, she is a good girl. She wants to reconcile with that boy from Duke Zhen's family, but I just said a few words for her, but I also asked her to remember it until now, and rushed over..."

I think that person is the "Aunt Ji" that Xu Ziyao said.

"I heard my grandmother mention your former aunt. She said she was a person who values ​​friendship."

After she mentioned it, Xu Ziyao realized that the ancestor of the Shen family was Shen Lingxi's grandmother.

Xu Ziyao nodded, "I heard from my mother that Aunt Ji is also a cheerful person."

She paused, then continued: "Not long after Second Uncle and Aunt Ji reconciled, they went to Yiyang Hou's house for a drink, and fell in love with Yiyang Hou's younger sister, as soon as the two of them came and went, it was good. "

"Grandmother was worried about my second uncle's marriage. Naturally, she was happy to see it come to fruition. She soon decided to marry Yiyang Hou Li's family. This is my second aunt, Li Xiaoqing."

Speaking of this, Xu Ziyao's eyes dimmed slightly.

"The second aunt is a charming and charming woman who is very good at making my ancestors happy. My mother is busy with the affairs of the house all day long. With my second aunt accompanying my grandmother, my mother naturally spends less time in front of my grandmother. However, even though, In this way, my grandmother and my mother-in-law are still very close."

"Who would have thought that one day six years ago, my mother-in-law and my second uncle had a quarrel over the government's accounts. The second uncle was so angry that he left a letter and went to the border alone, saying that he wanted to argue with his father. . Who would have thought that during this trip, we would encounter the Zhanlongpo battle between the Yun Kingdom and the Great Zhou Dynasty."

"The Battle of Zhanlongpo?" Shen Lingxi felt a little familiar.

Seeing the bewildered look in Shen Lingxi's eyes, Xu Ziyao pursed her lips, "It's no wonder that the Crown Princess didn't know about it. Because of the sorcery involved in Yunjiang, the Emperor gave a gag order in the army. Dare to mention it outside."

"It was a life-and-death battle between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and General Sangmeng of Yunguo. I heard that Sangmeng was dying, so he had someone perform Zhu Youshu on the battlefield to make the dying soldiers stand up again. Prince His Highness was seriously injured because of this, and almost died here."

When Shen Lingxi heard this, she immediately remembered that in the medicine palace, she heard people talking about how Sang Meng used the combination of "Zhu Youshu" and "Drunken Dream" to almost kill the enemy general, turning defeat into victory.

Sang Meng is one of Emperor Li's most trusted generals, bloodthirsty and extremely cruel, his actions have always been despised by their medicine palace.

Shen Lingxi was curious at the time, how "Drunken Dream" would escape from the Yao Palace to Sang Meng's hands.

Thinking about it now, it was naturally ordered by the chief minister, and Wuerda made a fool of himself.

It's just that she never knew that the person Sang Meng almost "turned defeat into victory" beheaded was Chu Yan, who was only 14 years old.

Thinking that Chu Yan was almost killed by Sangmeng's knife, Shen Lingxi's heart twitched hard.

"And then?" she asked involuntarily.

Xu Ziyao thought she was asking about her second uncle, so she continued: "I heard that my second uncle thought that Daddy was with His Highness, so he went to Zhanlongpo, but was arrested by... a fierce man. He and Daddy are twins , looks very similar, Sang Meng took him as his father and beheaded him in front of the battle."

"When the bad news came back to the capital, my grandmother was heartbroken. Since then, my grandmother has attributed the death of my second uncle to A Niang. In the past six years, my grandmother has ignored my mother. All the rights are given to the second aunt, and only the second aunt is allowed to serve in front of her. Not to mention father and mother are not allowed to share the same room."

"This time, she was still sick and took her mother back to her hometown in Suzhou, and took her mother's name out of the genealogy, and now she is forcing her father to reconcile with her mother..."

After hearing her finish, Shen Lingxi lowered her eyes.

"In the final analysis, this matter is still your family's business..."

Xu Ziyao shook her head and looked at her earnestly, "I always feel that it was not a coincidence that the second uncle appeared in Zhanlongpo back then. Whether or not His Royal Highness is accompanied by his father can be known by looking at the handsome flag. Madam, I know you can tell Ghost, can you summon the second uncle's soul and ask him why he went to kill Longpo to die?"
