Two flowers bloom, one on each side.

A touch of fish belly white appeared on the horizon.

The spring light penetrated the layers of clouds and fell, covering the city of Chang'an with a pale golden gauze after the night rain.

Qingyang Palace.

His Royal Highness Qingyang is wearing a phoenix crown and rosy clothes, leaning slightly on the railing, looking gracefully and independently, with ripples blooming in his narrow phoenix eyes, looking towards the south.

A few moments.

A black spot appeared in the clear sky. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a flying crane with concentrated literary power.

It hovered slightly over Chang'an Palace, seemed to have found its target, and fell rapidly in the direction of Qingyang Palace.

When they arrived near the palace, the crane, which had flown from south to north and traveled thousands of miles overnight, fell into pieces, turning into golden characters that fell down and caught the eyes of His Highness Qingyang.

Qingyang's crimson lips curled up slightly: You are indeed the man I like!

After receiving Li Nuo's letter from Feihe, she finally felt at ease.

Your Highness, the eldest princess is still waiting in the guest hall. How should the servant get back to her?

Eunuch Xiao Deng walked over quickly, his face full of anxiety.

Princess Taiping didn't know why. She came to Qingyang Palace but never went back. He stayed with Princess Taiping all day and night!

However, Princess Taiping did not make any noise, she completely calmed down her temper, and just sat quietly in the guest hall and waited.

However, the more this happened, the more eunuch Deng felt frightened.

How playful and forceful Princess Taiping is on weekdays. As a palace member, how could he not know that?

Prince Consort Zheng was so bullied that he didn't even dare to fart. This has become a joke among the powerful class in Chang'an.

But today Princess Taiping changed her usual temper, which was surprising.

As the saying goes, when something goes wrong, there must be a monster. Little Dengzi was afraid that Princess Taiping would do something out of control, so he could only accompany her and keep an eye on her.

Princess Qingyang didn't take it seriously.

She opened the sandalwood softly and said, Tell her, Li Zian can spare Zhao Quan's life, but the people of Jiangnan cannot forgive him for the heinous crimes he committed. Collaborating with the enemy and treason, the Zhao family of Yingtian Mansion will be questioned and executed, and the nine clans will be killed!

Ah this...

The little stool is incredible.

If it was really conveyed like this, wouldn't Princess Taiping go crazy?

Qingyang mocked slightly: Just go and pass the message. Remember, don't miss a word... This aunt of mine is old. I heard that she has started fasting and chanting Buddha's name recently. Her temper should be restrained. I definitely don't agree. She’ll cry like a shrew.”

Slave, I obey...

Xiao Dengzi retreated with small steps.

However, he also kept an eye on it. If Princess Taiping went crazy, he wouldn't be able to control it... So he called a few guards to go with him. There were many people and strength, so it would be nice to have someone to take care of her!

Well, it's definitely not that he is greedy for life and afraid of death.

A few moments.

Little Dengzi walked into the guest hall with small steps. Although Princess Taiping was not his master, and the emperor had taken away the title of princess for committing an offense years ago, she was of royal blood after all. He did not dare to act presumptuously. Salute immediately.

Upon seeing this, Princess Taiping hurriedly waved her hand towards him: Excuse me, little Eunuch Deng, is there any relief from Qingyang?

After all, she has something to ask for, so of course Princess Taiping will not continue to act like a princess.

She lifted up her long skirt and hurriedly walked towards Eunuch Deng, with a glimmer of hope on her pale and haggard face.

This look looks very pitiful.

The eldest princess, who was so aloof, was now fawning over him like a slave.

Xiao Deng was also a little bit intolerant, but he did not dare to violate Princess Qingyang's will, so he gritted his teeth and repeated what His Highness had just said.

Qingyang...are you really so cruel?

The only fire of hope in his eyes was extinguished, and Taiping fell to the ground in a daze.

Eunuch Deng hurriedly helped her to a chair and asked worriedly: Princess, do you want to call the imperial doctor?

Princess Taiping couldn't afford to have anything happen to her in Qingyang Palace, and he couldn't afford it.

How can the imperial doctor cure my illness... Little Eunuch Deng, can you let me and Qingyang meet? I want to ask clearly in person.

Princess Taiping took a breath, showing deep bitterness on her face.

She didn't understand. She had clearly conveyed the emperor's intention, but why did Qingyang still refuse?

Without His Majesty's nod, how could Qingyang choose Li Zian as his consort? Moreover, Li Zian already has a wife.

But if there is the will of the emperor, it will be completely different. The clan government will not be able to stop it, and Qingyang and Li Zian can live together. But why did Qingyang refuse this deal?

Why can't the people of Jiangnan forgive Zhao Quan?

The people living in the Xuanwu Lake area are just a bunch of mud-legged people. It's amazing, she just provided the money to rebuild a home for them.

Li Zian, Li Zian.

Why are you so cruel?

Why can't you be more noble?

Eldest Princess, Your Highness will not see you. She has told you to take care of yourself. Also, there is no need for you to worry about the affairs of Your Highness and Duke Wu An.

Eunuch Xiao Deng took a deep breath and said, But His Highness also said that we can arrange for you to go to Tianlao to see Zhao Quan for the last time.

Qingyang, ah Qingyang, you are so heartless too!

Seeing that there was nothing she could do, Princess Taiping roared like a mad beast: Kill the nine tribes... so cruel, so cruel!

Xiao Deng took a few steps back warily and said, Princess, Zhao Quan has only served as your bodyguard more than 20 years ago. You have been extremely benevolent and righteous to him.

What do you know? What do you, a eunuch, know!

Taiping stood up suddenly and roared hysterically.

Xiao Deng gritted his teeth and said: I don't understand this, but at least I understand that 'kill people to pay for their lives, and debts to pay for money'. This is a retribution based on the laws of nature...

The law of heaven? Haha, the law of heaven! Doesn't it say that God has the virtue of good life? Why can't he be more generous and forgive his sins?

Taiping laughed maniacally.

If the sin is too serious, it must be washed away with blood. At dawn, I will send the eldest princess out of the palace!

Xiao Deng said loudly.

Taiping walked tremblingly towards the outside of the palace without even looking at Eunuch Deng.

Xiao Deng followed him unhurriedly until he sent Princess Taiping out of Chang'an Palace, then hurriedly turned back to report the news.

Although Chang'an City suffered a severe military disaster last autumn, its cohesion became even stronger.

Especially after being assigned to Qingyang as a fiefdom, it was like being reborn from Nirvana, full of great vitality, and the smiles from the bottom of the hearts of the people in Chang'an City became stronger and stronger.

Walking aimlessly on the bustling street, Taiping felt a little cold.

She winced.

At this time, a fox fur jacket was draped on her shoulders.

Feeling the sudden warmth, Taiping turned around and showed a sad smile: Why are you here?

You went to Qingyang Palace all night and didn't come back. As a prince-in-law, of course I'm worried about you.

The man's slightly hoarse but intimate voice sounded, it was Princess Taiping's consort, Zheng Qinwen.

Don't you hate me?

Princess Taiping said puzzledly.

She had neglected her husband-in-law for more than twenty years, and she did not believe that he had no hatred for her in his heart.

Life has to pass.

Zheng Qinwen smoothed Princess Taiping's messy hair, gently and carefully, with a warm smile on his face, You are a golden girl, and you can choose me, the twenty-seventh place in the top three, who was born in a poor family, but I have been blessed for several lifetimes. Without His Highness's help, I would at best be the magistrate of a lower-level county, and how could I have the glory and wealth I have today?

Princess Taiping looked at Zheng Qinwen in disbelief.

Would this man who had been bullied by her for half his life still be grateful to her?

Don't you ask me what I'm doing at Qingyang Palace?

Taiping asked.

Zheng Qinwen continued to arrange Taiping's clothes very gently: Are you interceding for Zhao Quan? I remember that the year we got married, he was still the commander of the guards of the princess palace. But I didn't expect that more than twenty years later, he has become It's a pity that he did something stupid when he killed the official in the border area.

Taiping nodded silently.

Zheng Qinwen's hand crossed Taiping's neck, with a smile still on his face: Let me guess...it's been more than twenty years, and you still care about so much affection, and you even don't hesitate to put down your body. Qiu Qingyang... So, Zeer is his son, right?

Taiping looked horrified.

She had hidden this secret for twenty-eight years.

Although she had doubts about the consort whom she had personally chosen, she never asked about it.

Zheng Qinwen's hand passed across Tai Ping's fair neck, then moved up to touch her lips, and continued: Don't be so panicked. In fact, I already knew it. But do you know? Why is Ze'er obviously talented and learning, but every year? Are you failing every year in the scientific examination?

It's you!

Taiping's eyes widened in disbelief.

Shh, don't be so loud, relax... Zheng Qinwen said with a smile, You guessed it right, I did it all!

Why……

Taiping said in a panic.

Why? Haha, you still have the nerve to ask why?

Zheng Qinwen's smile slowly turned a little ferocious!

I thought that this aloof princess would be moved by his true feelings, but he was wrong.

His forbearance and retreat time after time only resulted in others getting worse.

Now, are you interceding for this concubine who is collaborating with the enemy and treason?

How does this make outsiders view him?

Even though he has been a coward for twenty-eight years, he can't get others' true love, so let's find another way to get along with him.

At this moment, Zheng Qinwen became so strange in Taiping's eyes.

After spending twenty-eight years with this honest and honest consort, she realized that she didn't understand him at all.

Zheng Qinwen asked with a smile: Li Zian may let Zhao Quan go for your sake, but have you ever thought that the people in Jiangnan will let him go?

Hmph! What can those mud-legged people do?

Taiping gritted his teeth and said.

So... you, who are so high above us, don't understand the people at all.

Zheng Qinwen mocked, Du Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites once told His Majesty, 'Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it.' Don't underestimate the power of the people! Emperor Taizu has been fighting in the south and north for decades, if not How can he establish this great dynasty with the support of the common people?

Pause.

The smile on Zheng Qinwen's face slowly cooled down: Zhao Quan is destined to be punished by the nine tribes. No one can stop him, and no one dares to stop him. You should think about it, if Li Zian kills Ze'er's life experience Tell me, do you think Ze'er can escape this disaster?

Zheng Qinwen, how dare you!

Taiping was furious.

This son is everything to her!

It's not whether I dare or not, but whether Li Zian wants to do it.

Zheng Qinwen said expressionlessly.

Kill the Nine Tribes...

If Zheng Xiaoze's identity is really revealed, he will inevitably die.

etc……

Just now……

Princess Taiping suddenly remembered what Eunuch Deng said...

The entire Zhao family of Yingtian Mansion asked for execution.

so……

Should her son be fine?

Yes.

That must be it!

Her son was born in Chang'an and grew up in Chang'an. He has no relationship with the Zhao family of Yingtian Mansion!

Zheng Xiaoze is her and her consort’s son, and he will be his forever!

Taiping quickly reacted and begged with his eyes: Husband, Ze'er's surname is Zheng, I beg you...

Zheng Qinwen said with a playful smile: Isn't it too late to beg me now?

Taiping begged bitterly: I was wrong, I regret it... As long as you are willing to let Ze'er go, can I be your cow and horse in this life? I will listen to you in everything from now on.

Zheng Qinwen wiped away the tears from Taiping's eyes and asked softly: Really?

I swear!

Taiping said hurriedly.

Zheng Qinwen nodded: Actually, I can promise to keep this secret forever, but...

Husband, I just said it doesn't matter. As long as I can do it, I will definitely do it, even if I ask Your Majesty.

Taiping said solemnly.

Fifteen years ago, a group of mysterious horse bandits attacked a village in the south of the Yangtze River and set a fire... This matter was a big deal at the time, but in the end it was ignored. If the princess can let the Ministry of Punishment re-investigate this matter, case, then Zeer will always be my biological son!

Zheng Qinwen revealed the ultimate goal!

It's been fifteen years, how can we check this?

Princess Taiping frowned.

As long as the Ministry of Punishment reopens the case, as for whether the murderer can be found, we have to give it a try, right? Otherwise, I won't be able to get over this hurdle in my heart.

Zheng Qinwen was decisive.

Fifteen years ago, when he heard the bad news about his hometown, all his relatives were killed in the fire, his mind went blank.

He also thought about revenge, but he still held back.

He understood that he could not defeat that group of people on his own.

In fact, when he was ten years old, he had completely lost contact with the villagers, and was adopted as an adopted son by a family named Zheng.

In this way, he can be regarded as restoring his original surname Zheng.

Twenty-eight years ago, he passed the exam and ranked 27th in the top three. He thought he could become an official and rehabilitate his clan, but he didn't know that all this was just wishful thinking on his part.

The top three, also known as born with the same Jinshi, can only be sent to other counties to serve as officials, and the term of office is at least ten years.

If there is no background in the court, I am afraid that it will be difficult to mobilize him for the rest of his life.

How dare he bet?

And I can’t afford to wait.

It was on that day that Princess Taiping threw a hydrangea to him.

He accepted.

Becoming the Prince Consort is one step to the top!

Unfortunately, he still took it for granted. I paid a heavy price for my naive thoughts.

After marriage.

Princess Taiping didn't give him a good look at all.

His original idea of ​​using Princess Taiping's power to rehabilitate his clan was completely shattered.

Especially after his son was less than a month old, he realized that the princess had only chosen him to cover up the royal scandal.

He began to give up on himself.

He lived and died in drunken dreams for twenty-eight years.

now.

He's awake!
