Xin Zhong frowned: "So anxious? Why don't you report it to the prince?"
"No! Only you and I know about this. I will arrange for the people Fu Lie left for me to go with you." Wen Qingzhu took out the military talisman that Fu Lie gave her before leaving.
Xin Zhong looked closely and saw that there were two military talismans in Fu Lie's hand, and one of them was actually in her hand.
Taking a deep breath, Xin Zhong took the weapon talisman and said to her: "I have no other requirements. I just hope that the princess can protect Jasmine."
"Okay!" Wen Qingzhu agreed.
That night, Xin Zhong set off immediately without telling anyone.
Because of Fan Yu and Chi Yu's dereliction of duty, Lu Chengfei and his son once again took over the camp in the suburbs of Beijing.
The dignitaries in the capital who did not like them in the past remained silent at this time.
While mobilizing troops late at night in the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, a man in black was kneeling in a private room of an inn in a corner of the capital.
Standing in front of him was a tall, muscular young man.
Wearing the most common clothes in the capital, when he turned around, he revealed a face that was very different from the people in Daqi.
He has white skin, a hooked nose, and deep eye sockets, but his eyes are black, which is common in Daqi.
"Xin Zhong left Beijing?" The young man spoke in Central Plains dialect, which he was not very proficient in.
The kneeling man in black replied: "Yes! He did not take away his own army, but took away the Fu family army that Fu Lie usually left for his wife!"
The young man looked in the direction of the palace and his smile widened: "The army division is really good at predicting things. In a few days when the new emperor ascends the throne, I will personally take the little emperor's head and present it to King Zuoxian as a congratulatory gift!"
In the early morning, Wen Qingzhu was sitting in the main hall of Huaqing Palace, reading the messages that Lu Lei had sent him one after another.
Lu Chengfei was integrating the troops outside the capital, while Lu Lei was gradually investigating inside the capital.
The assassins who suddenly broke into the capital were definitely coming for Jiang Yuanhan!
"Princess! The prince is here!" Jasmine who was outside the door led Jiang Yuanhan into the house.
Wen Qingzhu raised his eyes and saw Wen Mingxuan coming with him.
The two of them stopped in front of her, and Jiang Yuanhan's eyes fell directly on the small table in her hand.
Wen Mingxuan asked directly: "Uncle Liang is coming back?"
Wen Qingzhu nodded lightly, put down the letter in his hand, and asked them: "You are coming here at this time. Did something happen outside?"
"A letter came from Dingyuan, saying that traces of the Fu family's army have been discovered. If nothing happens, my brother-in-law and the others will definitely be rescued in the next three or two days."
Wen Qingzhu didn't reply. No one knew Lu Ce better than her. It was true that nothing could happen to Fu Lie, but being trapped all the time would shake the military's morale the most.
The most important thing is that the Xiongnu's last move must be on the capital side.
Maybe her decision to let Xin Zhong leave was part of Lu Ce's plan.
She raised her head: "Who sent the news over there in Dingyuan? And who led the army to discover it?"
"It's Lu Chuan, the youngest son of General Lu and the eldest living son." Wen Mingxuan's tone became serious. He had only recently fully understood the situation of the Lu family.
The rules of the Lu family are different from those of ordinary families. When the eldest son dies, the second son becomes the eldest son. When the second son dies, the remaining sons take over in turn.
Therefore, for the Lu family, the living son will be regarded as the eldest son.
Everyone in the world knows that Lu's eldest son has always been there, but only those who really live in Dingyuan, or those in high-level positions who know the inside story, know that Lu's eldest son is a cruel existence.
"Lu Chuan?" Wen Qingzhu felt a little relieved, "He did a good job with Youzhou's support earlier, and Fu Lie has a good relationship with him. If it were him, we wouldn't have to worry about the situation in Dingyuan. The main thing now is The problem is to ensure that there will be no problems during the coronation ceremony!"
She looked up at Jiang Yuanhan with a serious expression: "Yuanhan, can you do it?"
Jiang Yuanhan's palms tightened, and then he nodded slowly.
At dawn, people sent by the Ministry of Rites and the two temples arrived at the gate of Huaqing Palace.
Lu Tao led them in. Wen Qingzhu was still wearing plain clothes and sitting in the main hall.
This time Master Zhu came in person and raised his hand to have someone bring up a pure white princess dress.
"Princess, this is the period of national mourning. According to the rules, the first emperor is the most important, so the dress is white and the crown is made of white jade and pure white velvet flowers. What do you think?"
Wen Qingzhu glanced over and couldn't help but admire in his heart: Mr. Zhu couldn't see the situation clearly, but he was quite efficient in doing things.
She stood up and walked inside. Lu Tao told the maids holding dresses and crowns: "Follow me."
About an hour later, Wen Qingzhu walked out wearing a dress that was more than one foot long.
Even if you don’t apply pink and white, you will conquer the country and the city.
Master Zhu looked a little stunned, but Lu Tao reminded him, and then led everyone to the Wugutai.
At this time, there were white flower filial piety cloths tied everywhere on the Wugutai, which did not look like the eldest princess was being canonized at all.
But Wen Qingzhu didn't care, all she wanted was the eldest princess's gold seal and title.
An hour ago, on the pipe next to the Shili Pavilion outside the south gate of the capital.
Someone stopped Jiang Dejia's funeral procession.
Ning Xiu, dressed in mourning clothes and with a calm face, rode forward on a horse, stared at the middle-aged housekeeper in front of him and asked, "Why is Housekeeper Pei here?"
Butler Pei bowed and replied: "Your Excellency would like to see Princess Dejia, so please ask the Prince Consort to facilitate her."
"What if not?" Ning Xiu saw a lot of dark sides in Jiangnan, and finally understood why he didn't like Pei Yu.
After understanding this, he didn't want Dejia to come out to see Pei Yu.
Butler Pei put away his smile: "If not, the villain will have no choice but to take offense."
At this moment, Jiang Dejia's voice came from the carriage behind: "I'm just going to see you."
The curtain was opened, and Jiang Dejia slowly got out of the car with the help of the maid.
Ning Xiu quickly dismounted and went over to hold Jiang Dejia's hand: "Why did you get down? If it doesn't work, I'll go for you."
"I know your good intentions, but the person Mr. Pei wants to see is me, and he won't accept your favor. It's better for me to go meet him. He won't do anything to me."
Jiang Dejia patted Ning Xiu's hand, and then held the maid's hand in front of Butler Pei.
"Please lead the way."
Butler Pei naturally had a smile on his face and turned sideways to lead the way: "Princess, please come this way."
The pavilion was not far from here, and Jiang Dejia quickly arrived at the pavilion.
Pei Yu slowly turned around, looked at the maid next to Jiang Deji and asked, "I would like to have a chat with the princess alone, is it possible?"
"Princess!" The maid was a little worried and looked at Pei Yu with an increasingly evil look.
Jiang Dejia gave her a look, and the maid left temporarily uneasy.
But she didn't dare to go far and stand with Butler Pei.
In the pavilion, Jiang Dejia sat down with her hands on her waist, and Pei Yu raised his eyebrows: "Is the princess pregnant?"
"Well, I was just pregnant. I originally wanted to return to Beijing later, but my mother-in-law learned that my father died and her condition worsened. She couldn't bear it for a while, so she left, and I rushed back immediately."
Jiang Dejia saw the hesitation in Pei Yu's eyes and immediately understood his purpose.
She just waited quietly.
Until Pei Yu asked: "Today is the day when the Princess Regent is canonized as the eldest princess. Doesn't the princess have any ideas?"
"What are your thoughts? I have been away from home with my husband. Qingzhu has treated Yuan Han like his own brother. I am not surprised that my father would issue such an imperial edict."
Pei Yu slowly raised his head, looked towards Ning Xiu, and said with a profound tone: "Princess, if you don't think about the Ning family, you should also think about the child in your belly, right? When Wu Yang grew up The princess has no choice but to watch the Liang family decline without being able to save her child. This eldest princess should have been a princess, after all, you are the prince's sister."
Jiang Dejia smiled lightly: "By saying this, Prime Minister Pei thinks that my husband and brother can no longer be relied on?"
Pei Yu withdrew his gaze and looked deeply at Jiang Dejia: "Needless to say, the princess must understand Ning Xiu's character better than I do. I'm afraid most of the decisions to go to Jiangnan this time were made by the princess, right? The princess relies on the fact that Isn’t it the princess herself?”
"Who do I rely on, and what does it have to do with Prime Minister Pei?" Jiang Dejia put away his smile, and there was a trace of impatience in his eyes.
Pei Yu knew exactly what they were doing in Jiangnan.
To put it this way, it was also an inside story that the eldest brother was injured and was replaced as the prefect of Kangcheng.
Pei Yu stood with his hands behind his back, very satisfied with Jiang Dejia's current state: "I won't say much else, I can only remind the princess that after all, you are the rightful eldest princess, and let someone who has no blood relationship occupy your This position is not good for you, the Ning family, and the child in your belly."
Jiang Dejia didn't speak this time, it wasn't because she didn't know.
But according to Wen Qingzhu's personality, I'm afraid this so-called eldest princess would only admit it if she had no choice but to admit it.
Seeing that her expression was getting more and more solemn, Pei Yu felt relieved: "There is still some time before we get to the palace. The princess can think about it slowly. We all know what the prince thinks about the princess."
Jiang Dejia suddenly raised his head, only to see Pei Yu smile at him, turn around and leave from the other side.
The Pei family members followed and retreated, and the maid hurried over and asked: "Is the princess okay?"
"It's okay." Jiang Dejia stood up holding the maid's hand and looked at the direction Pei Yu left, feeling extremely heavy.
As Yuan Han's position as crown prince was confirmed, more and more eyes and ears surrounded him.
It seems that there are some things that need to be discussed with Qingzhu.
This side of the Wugutai.
Wen Qingzhu received the gold seal and conferment certificate, stood up directly and said: "Forget the rest of the etiquette. From now on, all of you will concentrate on preparing for the enthronement ceremony!"
Mr. Zhu swallowed his words in a daze.
Wen Qingzhu had some reservations before, but now that her identity was confirmed, she immediately commanded them and the court officials without any scruples.
He looked at the prince, his expression did not change, and he couldn't help but feel anxious.
After leaving the palace last night, Pei Yu told him to delay as much time as possible.
Wen Qingzhu directly interrupted the canonization ceremony, leaving him no room to perform.
"What? Mr. Zhu still has something to say?" Wen Qingzhu called his name abruptly.
Master Zhu was so frightened that he quickly lowered his head: "No, no, only the enthronement ceremony has been prepared. At present, only the investigation is left. Does the princess want to listen to the report from the minister?"
"No need! Send me all the names in charge of the enthronement ceremony to the Xuanzheng Hall, and I will come and see them in person later." After Wen Qingzhu ordered, he turned around and left.
Before taking two steps, Pei Yu's voice came from the entrance of the Wugutai: "Princess, wait a moment!"
Wen Qingzhu looked back and squinted at Pei Yu, who had arrived late, feeling dissatisfied.
But looking at his tired appearance, did he rush here in a hurry
The Prime Minister's Mansion is not far from the palace, why does Pei Yu need to rush.
While she was thinking, Pei Yu had already hurried to her.
He bowed his hands and asked: "Princess Dejia has returned with support. As the eldest princess, don't you go to greet her?"
"Won't the coffins of Princess Dejia and Concubine Wei arrive in an hour?" Wen Qingzhu stared at Pei Yu. Could he be doing something else
Jiang Yuanhan stood up at this time and looked up at Pei Yu: "Thank you, Prime Minister, for your concern. I have sent someone to greet the imperial sister and send her directly to my father's mourning hall."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Dejia and Ning Xiu also appeared at the door of Wugutai.
As soon as they appeared, everyone looked at Wen Qingzhu in a much more subtle way.
