Concubine Heng is sometimes lucid and sometimes unconscious, Queen Wang's life or death is uncertain, and Xiao Hanyi receives a letter from an envoy from Northern Liang, stating that the Seventh Prince of Northern Liang has been assassinated in Southern Liang territory...
Xiao Hanyi is in Weiyang Palace at this time, and he is in a state of panic!
Guo Xiner had already learned about recent events from the palace maids, but Xiao Hanyi didn't say anything, so she had no way to persuade her. She was still in the confinement period and really couldn't help much.
"Is the emperor worried about something?" Guo Xiner asked softly.
She had already mastered Xiao Hanyi's habits. He would only say flirtatious words to her and never mentioned important events in the court.
Xiao Hanyi rubbed his brows. It wasn't a big deal. "The envoys from Northern Liang were assassinated in Lai Town. They wrote to ask if Southern Liang doesn't welcome them."
As he spoke, he handed the letter to Guo Xiner.
[Ah? The Seventh Prince was assassinated? Concubine Heng is truly bold.]
Xiao Jiayun complained, but this time she stood on Concubine Heng's side. A mother doing this for her child can be forgiven.
kindness?
Xiao Hanyi's hair stood on end. Was it Concubine Heng who did it?
[However, the Seventh Prince of Beiliang cannot die. This time he brought the handwritten letter that my grandfather wrote to the Emperor of Beiliang.]
"Dad, you must get this letter. Everyone thinks you're usurping the throne. But if the throne falls to my uncle, he'll be a traitor."
Her uncle?
who?
Xiao Hanyi's body trembled, and he suddenly understood that the handwritten letter had really reached Beiliang...
Guo Xiner listened and broke out in a cold sweat. She glanced at Xiao Hanyi and saw that there was nothing unusual on his face, so she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. During this period of time, she had heard many secrets from Xiao Jiayun and was shocked again and again.
He picked up Xiao Jiayun and said in a gentle tone, "Father, can you take me out to play?"
"Your Majesty, Yun'er hasn't finished her confinement yet," Guo Xiner hurriedly stopped him.
It is best for babies under one month old to stay indoors and wait until there is enough sunlight outside before going out to bask in the sun.
"Oh oh oh, yes, yes, yes," Xiao Hanyi laughed.
He thought to himself that he had to send someone to pick up the Beiliang envoy and not make any mistakes. Then he thought, "Come here, pass on the order and have General Heng escort the Beiliang envoy into Jing. We must ensure that nothing goes wrong."
"Yes," the palace servant was about to leave after receiving the order, but was stopped by Xiao Hanyi, "No, let him enter the palace."
After the palace servants left, Xiao Hanyi was in a very good mood. If he could get evidence that the former crown prince was collaborating with the enemy, he would have a perfect reason for his actions that night.
"Oh, look at our little princess, her eyes are so bright, her little face and her little mouth are so pretty," Xiao Hanyi praised her incoherently.
Guo Xiner smiled. She was used to it. Xiao Hanyi would praise her several times a day, but he was not exaggerating. The child she gave birth to was a white and chubby little porcelain doll. Even the wet nurse said that she had seen many babies, but had never seen such a beautiful child.
[I’m good-looking, of course, hehehe]
Xiao Jiayun laughed when she heard it, even though she had heard it many times.
The atmosphere was harmonious. A palace attendant hurriedly came to report, "Your Majesty, the Minister of Justice wishes to see you."
"pass".
After a while, Zhou Li, the Minister of Justice, stumbled in and knelt down, "Your Majesty, you must make the decision for this old minister!"
Before he could finish, tears were already streaming down his face.
Zhou Li was over seventy years old. His first wife, Li, had given birth to six daughters in a row, but he was afraid of his wife and did not dare to take a concubine. However, seeing that his Zhou family was about to end, he begged Li to take a concubine named Yang Xu.
Li was very reluctant at first, and it was only after her daughters persuaded her that she reluctantly agreed. However, she put forward the condition of keeping her son and letting the mother go. She missed her son so much that Zhou Li had to agree.
What's funny is that every time Zhou Li and Yang Xu were intimate, Li had to stand by the bed to give instructions. There was no fun in this at all, and she became like an animal.
Fortunately, after several times, Yang Xu became pregnant and gave birth to a son ten months later. Zhou Li was ecstatic and named him Zhou Yaozu.
In the end, he was still soft-hearted and secretly placed the poplar catkins on the farm in the eastern suburbs, hiding it from Li.
From then on, he valued his son more than his own eyes. He would give him anything he wanted, even the stars and the moon. He raised Yaozu to be fearless and now he is ten years old.
A few days ago, someone told Yaozu about Jiang Chi, saying that he didn't dare to compete with Jiang Chi at all. This aroused his desire to win, so he found an opportunity, released Jiang Chi, and competed with Jiang Chi in the courtyard of the Ministry of Justice.
Although he was a head taller than Jiang Chi, he was just a playboy and was no match for Jiang Chi, who grew up on horses.
After just a few moves, he was defeated.
Unexpectedly, he became furious and called a group of people to beat Jiang Chi. While Jiang Chi was dodging, Yaozu suddenly rolled his eyes, foamed at the mouth, and died!
When Zhou Li heard the bad news, he fainted several times.
As soon as he woke up, he hurried into the palace. He wanted to ask for permission to kill Jiang Chi to avenge his son.
Xiao Hanyi lowered his brows in thought. This was a perfect excuse, but he still couldn't make up his mind. Firstly, Jiang Chi was just a child. Secondly, if a talent like Jiang Chi could be used by me, wouldn't Nanliang be even more powerful?
But he couldn't bear it when he saw Minister Zhou crying.
"My dear Lord Zhou, please accept my condolences. I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly and give the young master justice." He tried to calm Zhou Li down first.
Seeing that Xiao Hanyi did not directly order the assassination of Jiang Chi, Zhou Li was dissatisfied and played the emotional card, "Your Majesty, this old minister has been loyal to you since you ascended the throne..."
Xiao Hanyi rubbed his brows. What Zhou Li said was right. When he ascended the throne, Zhou Li ignored the voices at that time and took the lead in expressing his support for him. But, saying these words now, was he forcing him?
