In late May, there was vague news from the palace that the princess was pregnant. It's just that I encountered a danger before, and the fetal month is less than March, so there is no publicity. It's just that the rewards in the palace are continuously sent to the East Palace, and everyone who has been to Hongfa Temple before guessed that the Crown Princess should have saved this child.
An Changqing didn't know what to do when he heard the news. Thinking of the news from the spy, saying: how the prince cherishes and loves the princess like a jewel, I always feel that the whole body of the prince is glowing with green light.
On the contrary, the performance of the Crown Princess is impressive. The Emperor's heir is of great importance, and blood will not be allowed to mix up. Therefore, the Prince's East Palace also has a living record. There are clear records of where and when the prince lives in what year, month, and month. But since returning from Hongfa Temple, Donggong has not questioned at all. Now that the palace is sending the reward with great fanfare, it is obvious that the crown princess does not know how to hide the sky and cross the sea.
Thoughtful, ruthless to himself, and at odds with the prince... An Changqing suddenly felt that this ally might be able to win. Just how to win, you have to pay attention to the timing and method, and he has to think about it.
But before he could come up with a good idea, he received news that Xiao Zhige had returned to Beijing.
With him came back Shu Lingting, who was seriously injured.
Xiao Zhige brought the seriously injured Shu Lingting into the palace with him. Shu Lingting was still empty, lying on a stretcher and being carried into the palace by two janitorial guards. Emperor Anqing was startled when he saw his appearance, and said in surprise: "What's wrong?"
Before Xiao Zhige could speak, he heard Shu Lingting shouting, "Your Majesty is the master of the minister." Then, regardless of the injury, he struggled to get up and knelt down, crying: "Those thieves framed the minister to cooperate with the enemy and betray the country. They don't even want to save my life! They are killing people! If it weren't for the King of the Northern War, I'm afraid I won't be able to see your majesty.
Shu Lingting was a military general, tall and burly, but lying on the ground with injuries and crying earnestly, it was really unbearable.
Although he had previously known that he was colluding with Xiji to commit a rebellion, Emperor Anqing had murderous intentions, but when he saw his behavior, he was startled and asked someone to help him up, saying, "What the hell is going on? Come on, second child. Say."
Only then did Xiao Zhige speak and report the process of his trip to Yuzhou truthfully.
"It was indeed found that there were people from Xifeng entering and leaving the general's mansion, but General Shu said that they were the envoys of Xifeng, who offered secret treasures to borrow troops from Da Ye. However, Erchen brought people to find the envoy, but there was no Get someone. General Shu said that there are other evidences that he will hand over to the emperor in person."
"In addition, we did encounter assassination when we returned to Beijing. The other party pretended to be a mountain bandit, but with a tacit understanding, he should be a trained killer."
Hearing the secret treasure, Emperor Anqing's mindless eyes suddenly lit up. He didn't ask about the assassination, but looked at Shu Lingting eagerly: "Do Xiji really want to offer the secret treasure?"
Shu Ling stopped looking at Xiao Zhige scruples, and then said: "The envoy really said so. He said that the first King Xiji built an empty tomb under his mausoleum, and inside it was piled up the first emperor. Most of the wealth accumulated by King Xiji. If you want to open the empty tomb, you need a picture and a key. The key is now in the hands of the queen mother. The portrait is in the hands of Xue Wuyi, the prime minister of Xiji. The other party promised that as long as we To send troops to exterminate the Xue clan's henchmen, Xi Ji is willing to hand over the portrait and the key."
"It sounds good." Emperor Anqing was really interested, but hesitant: "But what if there is nothing in the empty tomb? Xiji will settle the account and hang us with this secret treasure in front of us."
Shu Ling stopped and said, "This is the reason why the minister must meet His Majesty before he can speak. The minister does not deny that he did have contact with the people of Xiji, but he never dared to be unfaithful. I didn't expect that someone would take advantage of this. , fabricating letters to slander the ministers, collaborating with the enemy and treason with the intention of conspiring against the country, their hearts can be punished!"
As he said that, he took out a letter from the inner pocket of his undershirt and held it in both hands, saying, "This is what the envoy gave to him at the time. It is the letter of credentials sent by the Queen Mother and King Xiji, as long as we Agree to send troops to help, no matter whether we can find the secret treasure, we will donate another 5 million taels of silver, 2,000 horses, and various treasures, etc., all written on this certificate of credentials."
Emperor Anqing took it and looked at it, and there was indeed the seal of the Xiji royal family underneath. Emperor Anqing's face suddenly brightened, and even his sallow complexion was a little rosy: "It's quite sincere. If this can be done, it will be a great achievement for you."
Shu Ling stopped for a moment and said, "Your Majesty Shengming. This minister does not dare to take credit, but only wants to severely punish those who are framed and framed!"
Anqing Emperor Long was delighted, and naturally no longer held him accountable, and responded very easily.
Xiao Zhige listened to them sing and harmonized, thinking of the person in the portrait, his face darkened, and he exhorted: "The people of Xiji have always been cunning, and now they ask us for a thousand promises, but they never fulfilled them afterwards. Agreed. And Erchen heard that Xue Wuyi has a fierce general under the command of Shang Que, who is very Han Yong. We rashly dispatched troops, and the soldiers traveled long distances and were not accustomed to the soil and water, so there may not be a chance of winning."
Emperor Anqing became more and more stubborn when he came in. He couldn't hear anyone objecting to him. He said impatiently: "In the wild country of the West, how brave can the generals be able to beat my Great Ye generals?"
After saying this, he waved his hand and said impatiently, "You are tired this time. Go back and rest first. We will discuss the matter of Xiying at the court meeting."
Xiao Zhige stood up and saluted, squinting his eyes slightly to scan the two, and then backed out. They still don't know that the person on the portrait is almost exactly the same as An Changqing. If they knew... Xiao Zhige's eyes turned cold, he would never ask An Qing Emperor to cooperate with Xi Di.

Shu Ling stopped in the palace to have a secret talk with Emperor Anqing, and the grievance was cleared up the next day. Instead, the exposed soldier was sent to the Xing Prison of Dali Temple for strict interrogation.
And Concubine Shu, who was imprisoned in the palace, was finally freed.
Emperor Anqing was still thinking about the secret treasure of the West Frog, and looked at the poor Concubine Shu, feeling even more pity.
Shufu.
Concubine Shu looked at her elder brother who was lying on the bed with a gloomy expression: "Brother, do you know who did it?"
The third prince on the side sneered: "It's still a question, it's not the second brother, it's only my good eldest brother. This is trying to challenge us to fight the second brother. If the eldest uncle really had an accident on the way back to Beijing, Can mother take this breath?"
Concubine Shu Gui broke out in a cold sweat when she thought about it. If Shu Ling hadn't come back alive, Xiao Zhige would have been the most suspect, and their mother and son would have been imprisoned in the palace. Xiao Zhige went.
"Prince is really poisonous." Concubine Shu sneered through gritted teeth. She seemed to think of something and sneered: "Since he is unkind, don't blame me for being unrighteous..."
Shu Ling stopped and blinked: "You mean... that thing?"
Concubine Shu Gui nodded: "At that time, the palace issued a death order that no one should mention it, and those who violated it would not be forgiven. But I am not the only one who knows about it... The eldest princess has not memorized it all these years?"
She chuckled lightly, stroked her bun, and stopped to Shu Ling: "Since it was the King of the Northern War that saved the eldest brother's life, the eldest brother should come to the door to thank him..."
Shu Lingting understood what she meant and said, "Don't worry, madam, leave this to me."
The third prince did not understand what they were talking about, and looked puzzled. However, Concubine Shu gently adjusted the front of his clothes: "Don't ask too much about this, just ask your uncle to do it. If Xiao Zhige knew what happened back then, he would never let the prince go, we... only Just wait and see the show."

Since receiving the news, An Changqing has been waiting anxiously in the mansion, especially when the guard who heard the letter said that he had met an assassin on the way, and was even more restless.
It was not until after noon that the concierge came to report that the lord had returned.
An Changqing hurried to the door, and ran into Xiao Zhige who was leading his horse inside.
He was assassinated on the way, and came back on his way. Xiao Zhige was dressed in wind and dust, and the cyan stubble appeared on his chin, but he didn't have time to shave it off, but he was a little more unruly.
An Changqing stood on the spot, Xiao Zhige handed the reins to the servants, strode towards him, and only just lowered his head and rubbed his chin full of stubble: "I'm back. ."
Itchy from his rubbing, An Changqing avoided his embrace, muttering "dirty dirty" in his mouth, but his eyes landed on him nervously to check if he was injured. Shu Lingting, who was with him, was seriously injured. He was afraid that Xiao Zhige would also be carried back when he came back.
"Not injured." Xiao Zhige saw through his worries, followed him back to the yard, stood still and opened his arms to examine him: "If you don't believe me, feel for yourself."
An Changqing patted it suspiciously twice, only to feel relieved that she didn't touch anything like a bandage. Just as he was about to withdraw his hand, he was held down by Xiao Zhige. His expression suddenly became ambiguous, and his voice was slightly hoarse: "Why don't you check other places?"
"What nonsense?!" An Changqing pulled his hand back, but his face turned red uncontrollably.
"I miss you." Xiao Zhige was reluctant, and leaned over to hug him again. The man was like a big clumsy bear, wrapping him in his arms from behind, and he was still asking questions without hesitation: "When I went out, I just thought about you. Now, do you miss me?"
An Changqing's expression was slightly embarrassed. Although he was not ashamed to be annoyed, he honestly said, "I think about it."
The big bear behind him suddenly smiled with satisfaction, his chest vibrated slightly, but he held him to the direction of the bath room: "First accompany me to the bath, and check later, how much do you miss me..."
…
After tossing around in the bathroom for a long time, the two of them changed into clean middle clothes and came out. An Changqing's hair was wet on her shoulders, her eyes were still red, she just pursed her lips and refused to talk to Xiao Zhige.
Knowing that he tossed too much, Xiao Zhige coughed. To please, he took a cloth towel to wipe his hair, and pretended to take out the two children to take care of him, coaxing An Changqing to talk to him.
An Changqing's anger disappeared quickly. Seeing that he even brought his son and daughter out to save the field, he couldn't help laughing: "It's getting more and more serious, and you are not allowed to read the books sent by the bookstore in the future."
What else can Xiao Zhige do? Naturally, he can only do well.
After drying her hair and changing her clothes, it was already dusk and dusk. An Changqing asked the kitchen to pass the dinner, and after the two had dinner, they went to play with the brother and sister for a while. Just as he was about to take an early rest, the spy sent to Chayi Village a few days ago came back.
The two could only hurriedly put on their robes and went to the study to meet people.
The spy described it as a bit embarrassed. He led the mission out for a long time and no news came back. Now that he is in such a hurry to come late at night, he must have found something.
The author has something to say: Well, you are not allowed to learn the messy tricks on the book, you know
Cowardly: ... I know. (next time dare
