Demon King and Concubine

Chapter 88
Duanmujing's eyes narrowed slightly, she reached out to take the black jade seal, and nodded in response.

Then Duanmuzheng turned his head to look at Duanmutian again, and said: "Tiantian, you are the princess, your grandmother is old and not in good health, and you should manage the affairs in the inner courtyard of the palace, no matter what, Just let go and do it, if something happens, Dad will take care of it for you."

"Don't worry, Dad, I know what to do!"

He also nodded, and lightly swept over the third concubine whose face was cloudy and uncertain, and finally landed on Liu Qi who was standing beside him with his head bowed, trying to hide himself as much as possible, and suddenly said: "Liu Qi, just now you said that you planned to go to Beijing. Go to Xinjiang to explore the road, you go back now and prepare, and set off with the king tomorrow."

Liu Qi was startled immediately, quickly raised his head to look over, and said, "My lord, I'm just doing a small business..."

"My king has other things to ask you to do."

After hesitating, he suppressed the anxiety on his face, and resolutely cupped his hands and said, "Young one is at the command of the prince!"

This matter was beyond everyone's expectation, Duanmu Tian carefully looked at his father's expression, and then turned back to look at his uncle and elder brother in blank dismay, the three of them were puzzled.

How can a small merchant be used for marching and fighting to expel foreign enemies?
Because the prince is going to go to war tomorrow, the old concubine did not hold a family banquet that night, everyone had their own dinner and lived their own lives.

It was night, the crescent moon was hanging high, and the stars were dotted with stars. In Duanmu Palace, near the Jin Garden where the ancestors lived, there appeared a few ghostly shadows. They looked around and did not see any guards or anything like that. Others whispered to each other "Xiao Suo" and slipped into the brocade garden.

Soon, there was a complaint from a certain room in Jinyuan, and then a majestic old lady's voice sounded, "The girl really said that? She said she wants to separate?"

"Isn't it? Old ancestor, you have to decide for us. The princess just returned to the palace and wanted to drive us all out. I don't know what else will be done in the future."

"Hmph! What's more excessive? Does she still want to drive Laoshen out together?"

The room fell silent, and someone said again: "Old Ancestor, I heard that the old concubine of Rongjun Palace will bring the concubines and wives to visit tomorrow, so I went to ask the princess what she meant, but there was no answer. Thinking of her saying that they are here is just adding to the confusion, let the concubine entertain me casually!"

Immediately, someone shouted: "Hey, isn't this not taking you seriously? Princess, she knows that she is also my aunt from the Duanmu Palace, why would she say such a thing?"

The old ancestor snorted coldly and said: "Okay! This matter is also your fault. Knowing that tomorrow is a big day for the prince to go out, what is more important to me in Duanmu Palace? You You still ask her about this? Besides, this is something you can ask casually? Do you understand the rules?"

Then the room fell silent again, and the third concubine who had spoken earlier also murmured, unable to speak.

Half pay, I heard the old lady in the second room say: "Old ancestor, don't be angry, the prince's expedition is indeed a big event, but it is not sloppy for the distinguished guests to come. Besides, the princess wants to separate us. Live on your own, you can't ignore this matter, ancestor."

"Is this something that can be done by her?"

"Old ancestor, you don't know something. I think the old concubine loves the princess very much, and the prince and the prince also regard her as a sweetheart. Today, I heard the prince said that after he went out, this family will be run by the princess. Come on, she can do whatever she wants, if something happens, the prince will take care of it for her."

"You bastard! Is it possible that she, a little girl who just returned to the palace and doesn't know anything about the palace, can be a home in my Duanmu Palace?"

"Isn't that the case? Old ancestor, you have to take care of it."

After pondering for a while, I heard the old ancestor say: "I heard that there is something strange on that girl's face. It is so ugly that it makes people feel terrible. How can the princess of my Duanmu Palace grow into a What does that look like? And it’s only been less than two days since I came back, and so many things have happened.”

"I heard it was a birthmark, tsk tsk, such a huge birthmark on the face, it really is..."

The sound in the room gradually became quieter, and the people on the roof couldn't help but lean closer to their ears, trying to hear it more clearly, but accidentally made a small sound on the roof tiles, and suddenly someone shouted coldly: "What? people?"

He was startled, and immediately folded back, and saw something gleaming with silver nailed into the position where he was lying on just now, with a muffled "poof", the tile had broken into several pieces.

A man in black rushed out of the darkness, and chased after him.

He didn't want to get entangled with it, and with his toes on the roof, he flew out of the Jin Garden more and more quickly. In the moonlight, he saw a black shadow flickering out of the Jin Garden.

The chaser stopped after he left the Jin Garden, and turned back to the roof.

At this time, the door opened, and a servant girl helped the old lady out from inside. The moonlight was hazy, and a shadow appeared under the eaves, which just covered the old lady's face, making it difficult to see her specific appearance. She asked in a very calm tone, "What happened?"

The man in black jumped down from the roof, and replied respectfully: "This subordinate is negligent and let the little thief sneak in. The little thief sneaked in quickly, but he was not caught, and I don't know how many masters he overheard. dialogue, please punish the master."

A cold snort escaped from her mouth, and she seemed to see her looking up at the outside of Jinyuan in the shadows, and said in a deep voice: "Except for the ones there, who else would care so much about me, an old lady? Let's forget about this time." , be more careful in the future.”

"Yes! Thank you master for not blaming me!"

And the other man in black also slowed down after leaving Jinyuan, stood on the top of a tree and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, muttering: "I didn't expect that there are really masters hidden in Jinyuan, this matter must be dealt with." Report back to the old concubine."

Then turned around and flew away in the other direction.

The next day, before dawn, Duanmu Tian had already appeared in Duanmuzheng's courtyard. Together with his grandmother and brother, he personally arranged the military uniform for his father. , but Duanmutian looked at him very seriously and said, "Father, if you are in danger or you can't beat him, run away."

Such unsightly words caused the atmosphere in the whole room to stagnate, but Duan Muzheng suddenly broke into a smile, touched her head and nodded.

The words that should be instructed have already been instructed, and all the things that should be arranged have been arranged and tidied up. All the men in the Duanmu Palace were touched, and they went out with him to mount their horses and went to the general's platform outside the city.
