happy with you

Chapter 83 The root has been broken

How Jiang Yuheng died is easy to explain.

She was killed by assassins sent by Zhao Jiao, the prince of Chang'an, the prince of Yong, not to prevent the marriage between Qi and Yong, but to provoke a war between Qi and Yong and wait for an opportunity to take power.

But the Qi delegation must have returned to duty, and the queen should know about it.

So now if I ask again, are you doubting her?
After all, in the queen's opinion, she was the biggest beneficiary of Jiang Yuheng's death.

After Jiang Yuheng's death, Zhao Zheng, the king of Yong State, married Jiang He into the palace in order to find the spy who ruined the marriage between Qi and Yong.After that, the Qi State envoy followed Jiang Ben's suggestion and asked the King of Qi to make Jiang Hejin a princess.

Although this princess is just a title, in the eyes of everyone, she has already received great benefits.

No matter what the queen thought, Jiang Yuheng was dead, and Jiang He didn't want to be anyone's scapegoat.

"Your Majesty," Jiang He saluted, "Princess Xuanji was assassinated by an assassin."

"Really?" The queen raised her hand and plucked a peach blossom, slowly kneading it into a ball in her hands, her voice cold and cold, "But why did someone tell me that you were at the scene when Yu Heng died?"

Jiang He looked up in slight shock and saw the queen's cold eyes.

When Jiang Yuheng was assassinated, she was indeed the one who chased him out with a knife.But only the assassin and Zhao Zheng knew about this. The assassin was poisoned by Zhao Jiao and Zhao Jiao was already dead. Who else would know?
The queen raised her hand and threw a letter.

Jiang He picked it up and opened it, and saw the first sentence of the letter: "Webster Nanxu pays homage to King Qi's Queen Wan'an..."

Wei Nanxu.

Is she not dead yet?

In the letter, Wei Nanxu kindly reminded the Queen of Qi that Jiang He, the human-faced beast who returned to Qi, was sinister and cunning.She said that according to her father's investigation, Jiang Yuheng's assassination was coordinated by Jiang He and the assassin, and the purpose was to replace Jiang Yuheng and marry into the royal family of King Yong.

This is really a big basin of dirty water.

The Queen raised her phoenix eyes slightly and stared at Jiang He's face, trying to find guilt and fear in it.

But she was soon disappointed. Jiang He looked calm and took a few steps forward to hand the letter back to her. He nodded and said, "Wei Nanxu is right. I was indeed present when Her Royal Highness the Princess was assassinated."

"You're admitting it. Someone--"

"Wait a minute," Jiang He interrupted and said calmly, "But has the queen ever thought about it, if my purpose is to marry into the royal family of King Yong, why would I leave during the Jiuwei Mountain Festival?"

"That means King Yong doesn't want you anymore."

"Really?" Jiang He squinted and smiled. Although he was a little tired, his eyes were as bright as stars. "When the young master wakes up, the queen will ask about the scene and she will know."

The queen pursed her lips in suspicion and said nothing, but felt that if she left like this, she would spare Jiang He.

Perhaps it was her mother's intuition that she always felt that Jiang Yuheng's death had something to do with Jiang He.

After thinking about it, the queen raised her hand and said: "Even so, I will search your house to see if there is anything that could harm my Daqi."

After the Queen of Qi led the crowd to leave, Jiang He's house was in chaos, as if it had been robbed.

However, because Jiang Ben's health improved, her mood was not bad.

Jiang He stood in the yard and watched the little girl replant the peach tree that had been dug out. He waved his hand and said, "The root has been broken. There is no need to plant it."

As soon as I finished speaking, my heart felt as if a stone had fallen into it, as heavy as a stone.

The roots are broken...just like her.

Jiang He shook his head and called Zongjun again.

Zongjun blushed with anger and held a bunch of pearls missing by more than half in his arms, crying sadly.

"What's wrong?" Jiang He said, "You should be happy to be reborn after this disaster."

Jiang He was glad that those assassins failed to harm Zongjun.

"Your Highness," Zong Jun couldn't help but lower his head and said, "Those Imperial Guards said they were rummaging, but in fact they took a lot of our stuff along the way. Look at these dendrobium pearls, there are only so many left."

Speaking of pearls, Jiang He immediately said: "Where is my gold?"

"The gold is all there." Zongjun said quickly, "The gold is not hidden in our house."

Jiang He breathed a sigh of relief.

There are still many places to spend money, so we can’t live without money.

Zongjun looked at Pearl with great distress, and complained: "I see that living in Qi State is not safe, so I might as well leave."

go?

Where to go?

She came back to bury her father, to observe filial piety, and to do something for Qi.

But she discovered that when your status is low and you are not qualified enough to talk to the person at the peak of power, everything is in vain.

"Any news about those assassins?" Jiang He asked.

"He was a retainer of Prime Minister Tian Dou," Zongjun replied, "that man was a spy of the Chu State. The King of Qi was furious and killed him, and Tian Dou was convicted and removed from his post."

It turned out that Mi Fuchu did it, but it was a pity that Tian Dou was implicated.

Jiang He nodded, looked at the peach blossoms falling on the ground, and asked, "Is there any news about Yong Kingdom?"

Yong Guo has the same expectations as her father.

"The Yong Kingdom has sent troops to attack Han." Zongjun replied, "We will win in a few days."

is it?

Jiang Hemian was worried.

Although South Korea was weak, Yong Guo also took a real risk this time.

"Zongjun," she suddenly looked away from the petals crushed into the soil and said decisively, "I have to send you to spend money again."

In order to prevent Wei from being attacked by Yong, Wei Ji did the opposite this time. Instead of gathering troops to fight against Yong, Wei Ji sent out many retainers.Among his retainers, there are many people from Chu.

These people came into groups of three and five and entered the capital of Yan and Zhao.Wearing the clothes of Yan and Zhao, but speaking Chu dialect, pretending to cover up his whereabouts, but deliberately being discovered to be from Chu.

Soon, Yan and Zhao decided that these were spies sent by the Chu State, and began to doubt the Chu State's sincerity.

At the same time, the soldiers sent by Mi Huichu to Yan and Zhao to convey the plan to defeat Yong were captured by Wei Ji when they passed by Wei State and killed them all.

Wei Ji sent another person disguised as an army soldier from the Chu State to go to Yanzhao with tokens, and ordered them to step forward first.

This is tantamount to making them pawns.

Yan and Zhao were even more timid, patrolling and not daring to enter.

On the other side, Mi Fucu got no news from the soldiers.Although it was previously known that Yan and Zhao had agreed to cooperate in the expedition against Yong, the troops and horses sent to the north were still much slower.

Wei Ji did not leave Korea alone.

This time when the Yong Kingdom went on an expedition, the king Zhao Zheng did not come, and the young general Meng Tian led the troops.

Wei Ji believed that Yong's biggest problem was the lack of food and grass, and he wanted to move in and out quickly.He asked Han An to fight and retreat to bring Meng Tian in, and at the same time sent Wei soldiers and horses to attack in a sneak attack, preparing to burn the food and fodder of Meng Tian's army.

Without food, are you hungry?

As long as Yong's army retreats after realizing the difficulty, Wei and South Korea will be safe.

In Xianyang, the capital of the Yong Kingdom, a message came from a Taoist mansion that a horse was approaching. Even at night, the sound of horse hooves as the scouts rode across the street could be heard one after another.

Good news, good news!
The young general has become famous in one battle and is unstoppable. Unless he advances arrogantly, South Korea is already within his grasp.

In the gentle breeze on the starry night, Zhao Zheng stood up in his clothes and walked slowly.

The main hall of Zhiyang Palace has not yet been repaired, so he lives in a side hall, very close to the osmanthus tree where Jiang He often sits and reads letters.

Zhao Zheng walked over and sat down on the steps.

From here, if you tilt your head slightly and look forward, you will see the direction of Qi State.

The sky is getting brighter there, with a thin warm color spreading around the edges of the clouds.

I don’t know if she got up and freshened up.

Zhao Zheng thought of the cunning in her eyes, her provocative lips, her hardness and stubbornness, the way she was sitting on her knees in the heavy snow, unwilling to get up.

His hand subconsciously pressed the wrist of his other hand. The shallow scars there were the marks left by her.

I wonder if she feels better.

Does it mean that if you want to get her, you can only quickly sweep across the world and take the world into your pocket?

Dream……

She knew she was dreaming, but she couldn't wake up.

In the dream, she was lying on the bed with her hands and feet tied.The man next to her leaned down and looked at her with a smile that was sometimes cold and sometimes sarcastic.

"Zhao Zheng."

She calls his name.

Jiang He refused at first, and then couldn't help but respond.

At the critical moment, Jiang He suddenly saw someone.

Wei Nanxu.

She hugged Zhao Zheng tightly against his back, with dazzling jealousy flowing in her eyes.

Jiang He suddenly remembered Wei Nanxu's letter to the queen.

Did Zhao Zheng tell her what Wei Nanxu knew?
Jiang He pushed Zhao Zheng away and stood up, trying to escape.

But when he turned around, he saw their bed standing high in the clouds, and the ground under the clouds was filled with corpses of dead soldiers.

Jiang He suddenly woke up in a terrifying fear.

She coughed violently, holding on to the edge of the bed and retching.

"Your Highness, what's wrong with you?"

The little girl Cai Ling rushed in when she heard the noise, and then ran out to get water.

On the way, I met Zongjun strolling in the yard.

"Your Highness is vomiting. Go and call the doctor." Cai Ling said quickly.

Zong Jun was shocked and ran out immediately. He stopped halfway and subconsciously touched the rattle in his sleeve.

Probably not. We have been separated for several months. How could she be pregnant?

That's really sick!

That's when he panicked.

The doctor said that Jiang He's health was fine, but his heartbeat was unstable in spring, perhaps because of the rising temperature and being too tired recently.

Jiang He also felt that he was fine, but when he thought about that dream in his spare time, he couldn't help but feel annoyed.

She should be someone who can deal with changes calmly and not be affected by those chaotic thoughts.

Why do you think of him? Why do you have such a dream again?
Jiang He shook her head. Finally, in mid-March, she heard the news that calmed her down completely.

Meng Tian's troops deep into South Korea were cut off, the rear camp was attacked, and the food and grass were burned by a fire.
