The matter of Xiao Tianyao leading the army to expedition is already a certainty, even if the emperor regrets it in his heart and worries that Xiao Tianyao will take this opportunity to seize power, it is impossible to take back his life at this time.
The next day, Xiao Tianyao showed up outside the city with 30,000 elite soldiers on time, and the emperor sent him off in person. He toasted the 30,000 army with a glass of wine outside the city, wishing them a victory and a triumphant return.
In front of people, the emperor always showed great importance to Xiao Tianyao, and personally brought Xiao Tianyao's glass of wine to him, "Fourth brother, I will wait for your triumphant return, and I will celebrate with you."
"I will live up to the emperor's expectations." Xiao Tianyao took it, raised his glass and drank it, and slammed the bowl to the ground.
The emperor saw Xiao Tianyao drank all the wine, his face was overjoyed, and he raised the cup to drink with the soldiers.
"I will definitely live up to the emperor's expectations." Thirty thousand soldiers drank all the wine in the bowl, and with a "bang", the broken bowl fell to the ground, with an astonishing momentum.
The emperor laughed and said some exciting words with great arrogance. Immediately, under the leadership of Xiao Tianyao, 30,000 soldiers shouted long live the emperor!
The farewell ceremony was very solemn, but it was also very short. As soon as the hour arrived, Xiao Tianyao got on his horse and rushed to the front line with an army of 30,000.
However, just as Xiao Tianyao turned to mount his horse, he suddenly coughed, raised his hand to wipe it, and sat down as if nothing had happened. Besides himself, I'm afraid no one else will notice the water stains on his sleeves.
He did not dare to drink the wine the emperor poured!
The 30,000 soldiers and horses drove away, the city was full of dust, and the emperor stood on the imperial carriage until the 30,000 horses could no longer see the shadow, and then returned to the palace, and the people watching the excitement also dispersed one by one.
Lin Chujiu didn't go out to see him off, not because she didn't go, but because Xiao Tianyao didn't allow it.
"You don't have to send each other off, stay in the house obediently, and don't go out if you have nothing to do." These are the words Xiao Tianyao left to Lin Chujiu before he left.
Xu Shi Xiao Tianyao also sensed something was wrong, took two steps, stopped again, turned around and said, "Wait for this king to come back."
Lin Chujiu stood upright, smiled and nodded.
She has to wait, except for Xiao Wangfu, where else can she go
Will Xiao Tianyao let her leave Xiao Wangfu
Although Lin Chujiu didn't go to see him off, she was clear about what was going on outside. As soon as Xiao Tianyao left the capital, she asked Butler Cao to close the door to thank the guests, and announced to the public that during the period when King Xiao was not in the capital, there would be no guests in Xiao's mansion. The princess didn't take any posts either.
The news spread quickly, and the emperor who had just returned to the palace couldn't help laughing when he heard this, "Lin Chujiu is smart, knowing that when King Xiao leaves, she will not have a good life. Unfortunately, closing the door to thank guests can stop her for a while. , can't stop it for a lifetime, and not everyone can stop it."
For example, if people in the palace wanted to see Lin Chujiu, she couldn't stop her.
"What the emperor said is that Princess Xiao is in Beijing, and I'm afraid she will suffer." Seeing that the emperor was in a good mood, the eunuch immediately agreed.
"Bitterness?" The emperor sneered, "I see that she's not suffering, but suffering." When she thought of Lin Chujiu's marriage to Xiao Tianyao, she had completely changed her mind, and the emperor hated Xiao Tianyao so much.
Lin Chujiu dared to lose face with him, and he planned for Xiao Tianyao wholeheartedly, so he must be prepared to bear the consequences.
The confidant eunuch immediately added: "The emperor is right, Princess Xiao doesn't know how to lift up, she deserves it."
"It really deserves it. If she can be the same as before her marriage, she only knows how to make trouble and have fun all day long. I might be able to save her life, but she is restless. If she wants to get ahead, I will fulfill her." The murderous intent in the emperor's eyes After passing away, the confidant eunuch had a chill on his back, lowered his head and whispered: "Your Majesty, half an hour ago, the noble concubine met Princess Nuoyao." He didn't want to say this, it could be seen that the emperor hated Princess Xiao deeply. He dared not refuse to report.
"What's the matter with your concubine seeing Princess Nuoyao?" The emperor frowned, a hint of impatience flashing in his eyes.
Although Nan Nuoyao had just arrived in Dongwen, he caused a lot of troubles. Although most of them were tied to Xiao Wangfu, none of them made it to the top. The emperor was very dissatisfied with her.
"I heard that it is to talk to Princess Nuoyao and let her learn to be smarter." The confidant eunuch said this very skillfully.
Concubine Zhou Gui and Nan Nuoyao had no friendship, so she went to Nan Nuoyao with great fanfare, and directly said that she should call Nan Nuoyao.
The emperor immediately became interested, and had people announce Concubine Zhou.
Concubine Zhou seemed to have anticipated it for a long time, and she came in a little while with makeup, and Yingying bowed, "Your Majesty."
The voice was so charming that it made one's heart tickle. Halfway through the ceremony, the emperor called out, "Concubine Ai, no ceremony. Grant a seat."
After Concubine Zhou sat down, the emperor said: "Concubine Ai, I heard from the servant, you went to see Princess Nuoyao of Nanman?"
"Princess Nuoyao is naive and straightforward, and the concubine likes it as soon as she sees it. No, I went to take a look at her when I had time." The news was originally released by Concubine Zhou, of course she would not deny it.
"Really? What did you say to her?" the emperor asked casually.
He believed that Concubine Zhou was a smart person and knew what he was asking.
Concubine Zhou said calmly: "It wasn't because of what happened last night in Tingyu's Courtyard. When the concubine heard Zi'an's child, she couldn't help but be arrogant. Princess Nuoyao's temperament is too straight, and the concubine can't see it. , then call her a few words."
It is said that it is a call, but in fact it is a disaster.
When Zhou Guifei saw Nan Nuoyao, she only said three words: "Princess Nuoyao, you are different from Lin Chujiu, even if you keep vilifying yourself, no matter how stupid and ignorant you are in front of the emperor, the emperor will not Point you to King Xiao."
After Nan Nuoyao asked why, Concubine Zhou answered another sentence for her: "Because you have Nanman behind you, you are the favorite daughter of Emperor Nanman, and King Xiao will never marry you."
It's not that Xiao Tianyao doesn't marry, but the emperor will not allow Xiao Tianyao to marry a woman with a powerful mother's family.
The reason why the emperor agreed to the queen's proposal to let Xiao Tianyao marry Lin Chujiu was because Lin Chujiu was the daughter that Lin Xiang did not want, she was a rootless duckweed, and she could not bring any help to Xiao Wang. The only Meng family she could rely on, Madam Meng, who was in power, also suffered a stroke. She was useless except to drag Xiao Tianyao back.
The third sentence Zhou Guifei said to Nan Nuoyao was: "Princess Nuoyao, think about it, is this the truth? In addition, this palace advises you to think about who gave you such a bad idea. , let you discredit your own reputation and damage the reputation of Nanman."
The last sentence was the focus of Concubine Zhou looking for Nan Nuoyao, or Xiao Tianyao asked Concubine Zhou to speak in front of Nan Nuoyao.
Xiao Tianyao wants Nanman's internal dog to bite the dog, Nannuoyao and Nannuoli dog who is hiding in the mountains to bite the dog, it is best to bite Nannuoli out...
