Years of drama and become a concubine

Chapter 39
"The outer wall is almost completely burnt, but there are still some places inside that have not been burned. It is obvious that someone set the fire from the outside!"

When Su Xiaoxiao heard that the East Palace was on fire, she was really worried about Yan Ziheng's safety, so she ran to the East Palace early in the morning looking around like a thief, but was dragged out from behind the rockery by Yan Ziheng, almost kicking her down.Seeing that it was Su Xiaoxiao, Yan Ziheng restrained his strength, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.The two walked outside the Hall of Praying for Orchids, Xiao Xiao looked at the scorched earth and ruined walls, pondered for a moment and analyzed.

Yan Ziheng nodded and lowered his voice: "Yes, it is indeed arson. At present, there are two groups of people who will target His Highness the Crown Prince, either Sima Yue's former department, or people from Tian Li of the Ministry of War."

Xiao Xiao shook her head, rubbed Yan Ziheng's head, and said with a smile: "You are still too tender. It should be four people, Sima Yue, Tian Li, Queen Mother...and me!"

Before Ziheng could reply, a cold and slightly hoarse voice came from behind.

"Not you."

Xiao Xiao looked back and saw that it was Sima Yu. His face was a little pale today, his voice was rough, and there were a few wisps of medicinal fragrance in his sleeves, which she didn't recognize for a while.

"How do you know it's not me?" Xiao Xiao looked over provocatively.

"Ahem..." Sima Yu coughed twice, his eyebrows frowned even tighter, "Think for yourself."

Su Xiaoxiao just recalled last night, her ears turned red first.Of course she didn't forget that when the fire broke out last night, she was "fighting hand-to-hand" with someone on the bed... What she cared about was, who was the person last night?But just after setting the fire, is there still leisure to bully her?She couldn't figure it out, and she didn't quite understand why Sima Yu decided it wasn't her. Maybe she was too weak, and she didn't look like an arsonist?
"His Royal Highness, do you... have a fever?" Yan Ziheng stood on tiptoe and raised his hand to touch Sima Yu's forehead, "Ah, it's very hot! Your Highness, go back and rest, I'll just check here."

Su Xiaoxiao was taken aback. Did Ziheng eat Xiongxin and dare to touch Sima Yu's forehead?Now Sima Yu is about to lose his temper!She could almost imagine Sima Yu spit out the word "presumptuous" with a dark face, then put Yan Ziheng into the dungeon, and copied Yan's house.Unexpectedly, Sima Yu just waved his hand: "It's nothing. It's not peaceful this morning, and I don't want to rest. I'm afraid I can only investigate the fire later."

"What happened?" Zi Heng rarely saw such a serious expression on Sima Yu's face.

"Kang Guo is calling."

In the early court, Prime Minister Qiu Lingju was making a statement to His Majesty on the relief of the flood in the south.Suddenly, a fast horse stained with blood stains broke through the palace gate, galloping all the way like the wind and lightning. Anyone who wanted to step forward to stop him would not be afraid to see the madness of the horse and the shape of the man on the horse. It was even more shocking and unable to move.

The horse galloped to the front of the hall, but stopped, and a person fell from the horse's back.This person was wearing a soldier's uniform, with disheveled temple hair and bloody face. He couldn't see his face for a moment. There were two arrows stuck in his chest, bloodstains all over his clothes and horse's back.This person fell to the ground, and after only saying five words, he immediately lost his blood and died.

These five words can be said to be earth-shattering, shocking all the civil and military officials in the dynasty to silence.

These five words are - "The Tartars are calling!"

Kang Guo raised troops and paid attention to speed.While taking him by surprise and attacking him unprepared, he sent Qingqi to intercept the letter for help all the way.So by the time Da Tian listened to the news that it was delivered with his life, Biancheng and Pengcheng had already been firmly captured.The three important counties of Feng County, Changle County, and Ba County also fell into the hands of the enemy. The [-] people of Kang State rushed all the way to Liuli Town, an important military town. , there is no barrier in between!

Usually at this time, the government and the opposition are generally divided into three camps, one is the main battle headed by Mr. Tian of the Ministry of War, the other is the main battle headed by Mr. Fang, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, and the other is the peace mud faction headed by Prime Minister Qiu Lingju.But today is different from the past, Liuli Town can break the imperial capital at your fingertips.Qiu Zai made a decisive decision and said: "This battle needs to be fought, but the imperial capital needs to be moved."

Moving the capital is no small matter.For a while, there was a lot of discussion in the hall, and the noise was like mosquitoes and flies, which made people irritated.The emperor sat on the dragon chair with his forehead supported, but he felt that the chair was crumbling, which made one's heart chill.

No matter how troublesome it is to move the capital, the war is imminent, so it has to be settled immediately.

In the early morning of the second day, the emperor drew up an imperial decree, and three days later, he went south and moved the capital to Hongzhou to ensure safety.The prince personally recruited as the main general, led General Yan Xi as the deputy general, and led [-] soldiers west to Liuli Town to support the garrison. This town must be guarded.All the singers and opera singers in the original palace, the court ladies and eunuchs were selected two out of three, and all of them were dismissed.

Everything came so fast.Su Xiaoxiao never thought of it.

In the heyday, they were the face of the emperor, and chanted his feats handed down from generation to generation.In troubled times, they are just tea dregs that can be thrown away at will. When the prosperity is over, people leave the tea to cool down, and even throw away the dregs.Chen Tingqiu came over and put a small shirt on for Xiaoxiao, gently hugged her and comforted her: "It's better to go out of the palace freely."

Su Xiaoxiao looked at the luggage all over the yard and the guys who were busy packing back and forth, she couldn't help feeling a little dazed, and said calmly, "There's a war going on outside here...how can there be a good life?"

She recalled the dream she had a few months ago again. In the dream, the mountains and rivers were trembling, and there was a bloody storm, and there were piles of corpses and the cold light of knives everywhere.She shuddered.

Here, the East Palace was full of crying.

The owner of the East Palace, the prince of a country, had to go to the battlefield, which shows that the situation is extremely critical.But from a small point of view, which family's servant would want the master to be unaware?And Qiu Zhenzhen, who had just been married for less than a month, felt even more sad. She married to be a bride, not a widow!

"Must we go?" Qiu Zhenzhen asked with her watery eyes while wiping her tears with a handkerchief.

"You have to go." Sima Yu was slowly wiping the blade of his sword, as if it was someone else who would go to the battlefield three days later.

"Then... can I bring my concubine with me?" Qiu Zhenzhen's eyes shone with determination. She grew up in a boudoir, but this sentence seemed to take all the effort of her whole body.

"No."

"Why not? The concubine can take care of His Highness when he is gone!" Qiu Zhenzhen said eagerly, "If His Highness refuses to obey, the concubine will go to beg Daddy..."

Unexpectedly, this sentence seemed to anger him, he stood up from the chair, approached and asked: "Your father? I'm afraid it was his idea to go to Liuli Town with me?"

"Why does Your Highness say that? The concubine is naturally out of concern for His Highness's safety..." Qiu Zhenzhen looked directly into Sima Yu's eyes.

"I don't want to be surrounded by a traitor, and report my every move, every bit of the war, to your good father!" Sima Yu shook her hand away, and said coldly, "Father-in-law, right?" There is naturally a way for you to go to Liuli Town. But don’t blame me for not reminding you, I don’t care about you for the sake of Prime Minister Qiu’s face about you taking the medicine. You are already concerned about the relationship between husband and wife! Don’t make trouble for no reason anymore, There is no child's play on the battlefield, don't be distracted, if you insist on going your own way, don't blame me for being merciless!"

Qiu Zhenzhen was so frightened when she heard the words, the plan the day before yesterday failed and there was a fire, when Sima Yu came back, everything was as usual, even a little softer, and he didn't mention anything about the bird's nest soup.She thought that His Highness hadn't noticed the clue, and she had already let go of the heart that was jumping into her throat.Today, Sima Yu suddenly mentioned it, and she was speechless for a moment.

Sima Yu saw her pale and silent, so he sat down again and wiped the blade.This Dragon Yuan Sword has not drunk blood yet, he knows that he will need it in three days.
