Chapter 439 Why did you come just now?
The queen was forced to pretend to be sick to protect herself. Prince Rui and Concubine Shu must have wanted to kill her.
Fortunately, Queen Wang was not such a picky and forceful person. She did not insist on competing with Concubine Shu when Prince Rui was in power.
These days, everyone in Qiwu Palace has been behaving themselves to the best of their ability, trying to preserve themselves amidst the chaos.
One must consider the situation and never act rashly and resort to tactical tactics.
Otherwise your life will be over.
"I didn't say it wasn't hard," Queen Wang said, "I just said it wasn't as hard as you think."
After all, pretending to be sick is not that easy. Concubine Shu and Prince Rui came to visit her one after another, and someone came every day to see if she was really dying. Fortunately, she had people in the Imperial Hospital who used medicine to create the illusion that she was seriously ill.
It’s just that medicine is three-quarters poisonous, and after taking it, it is inevitable that it will harm your body.
That's why she lost a lot of weight.
The most crucial thing was that Huo Zheng led his troops into the capital and fought with Huo Yang in Jiangyang City for several days. Her son was on the battlefield, and her daughter-in-law and grandson were besieged in Xizhou by Suo Hongkai and the Beizhou Army. Queen Wang couldn't help but worry.
She asked Huo Zheng, "Why didn't you bring Chunzhi and Zi'an with you when you led your troops into the capital? If you left them in Xizhou, weren't you afraid of chaos in Xizhou?"
Huo Zheng said: "As long as Chunzhi is here, Xizhou will not be in chaos."
Even though Suo Hongkai led the Beizhou Army to besiege Xizhou, Chunzhi led his men to defend Xizhou City.
Haruji never needs to follow in anyone's footsteps.
She can hold up the sky by herself.
When Queen Wang heard Huo Zheng say this, she couldn't help but sigh, "You've really found a treasure by marrying Chunzhi."
Who could have imagined that the daughter of a criminal who had been exiled to the countryside could become a princess protecting a region?
Huo Zheng also felt that marrying Chunzhi was like obtaining the most unique treasure in the world.
He expressed concern for his mother and, after making sure she was in good health, asked about the emperor's body.
Queen Wang said, "The emperor has a red mole on the bottom of his foot, a fact he was born with. Few people know about this. Huo Yang may not have found the emperor's body, and he was anxious to sit on the throne, so he lied that the body was mutilated and found someone with a similar body shape to replace it—"
But others didn't know, but Queen Wang, her partner, knew.
"Now that Huo Yang has accused you of regicide and usurpation, you must order a search for the emperor to prove you are different from traitors like him," Queen Wang said. "And you can't just say you're looking for the emperor's body; you have to search for the emperor. You're not a usurper, so you naturally don't know whether the emperor is dead or alive."
"What the Queen Mother said makes sense."
Huo Zheng immediately took people to deal with the fake emperor's body, and then publicly ordered to find the whereabouts of the emperor.
Anyone with clues will be rewarded handsomely.
Finding the emperor is a great achievement.
The notice was soon posted inside and outside the capital.
On the other side, Jiang Hao led his men to Prince Rui's Mansion.
He saw that the gate of Prince Rui's Mansion was closed. He led his men to blast the gate open, and saw a large group of people gathered in front of the courtyard. Song Wan'er was holding the weak and powerless Princess Rui and was walking out while forcing the crowd to retreat.
As soon as the news of Prince Rui's capture in Jiangyang City reached the capital, the Prince Rui's Mansion was in chaos. However, those who supported Prince Rui often came to comfort the princess, saying that as long as they controlled the capital, there was still a chance to turn the situation around.
Princess Rui has been watching Song Wan'er even more closely these days, fearing that she might run away, and has sent people to guard her at every level.
No one knew what happened today, but all the members of Prince Rui's party disappeared, and Princess Rui suddenly wanted to leave the palace and take Song Wan'er with her.
Song Wan'er saw that Prince Chang'an and his men were about to enter the capital.
She couldn't bear to be held hostage by Princess Rui any longer, so she ground the only bottle of poison in her hand into powder and used it to greet Princess Rui and force the people who were threatening the Rui Palace to give way.
When Prince Rui sent people to capture Song Wan'er, he certainly didn't expect that one day his princess would be taken hostage by Song Wan'er.
The situation in the mansion was tense and everyone was extremely nervous.
Song Wan'er who was walking out and Jiang Hao who was rushing in met head-on.
The two were stunned at the scene in front of them.
Jiang Hao couldn't help but ask: "What are you doing..."
"Why did you come just now?" Song Wan'er pushed Princess Rui towards Jiang Hao's subordinates, stepped forward and punched Jiang Hao in the chest.
Jiang Hao was also happy to be hit by her. He grabbed her wrist and said, "You are quite strong. I guess you haven't been starving in the Tianrui Palace these days."
When the people brought by Jiang Hao heard this, they couldn't help but twitch their lips and immediately tied up Princess Rui. The rest of the people stepped forward and dealt with all the evil slaves who were besieging the lady in the Rui Palace.
When Song Wan'er heard Jiang Hao's words, she couldn't help but feel angry and amused, "How dare they starve me?"
Jiang Hao smiled and said, "Yes, yes, my wife is so powerful, what can the small Rui Palace do to you?"
"That's a human thing to say."
Song Wan'er was free today, and she also felt more comfortable looking at Jiang Hao.
It turns out this guy can actually say nice things with his dog mouth.
Song Wan'er was thinking this and was about to say something when Jiang Hao pulled her out of the mansion.
Song Wan'er asked puzzledly, "Why are you in such a hurry?"
"Go home." Jiang Hao pulled Song Wan'er and walked out of Prince Rui's Mansion quickly. He then took her on horseback and rode to the general's mansion together.
Song Wan'er sat on the horse's back, and almost her entire body was held in Jiang Hao's arms.
The sound of horses' hooves flying, the snow rushing down, and the wind blowing hard. Song Wan'er felt quite warm nestled in Jiang Hao's arms, so she didn't push him away. She just asked him, "What about Princess Rui? Are you not taking care of the affairs of the Rui Palace anymore?"
Jiang Hao said, "They will take care of it themselves. Let's go home."
They...we...
Song Wan'er felt that there seemed to be something different about Jiang Hao when he came back this time.
It's just that she had stayed in Prince Rui's Mansion for too long, and nothing was going well. She really wanted to go home quickly, take a shower, change clothes to get rid of the bad luck, and eat something good to replenish her body.
Thinking this, Song Wan'er quickly returned to the general's mansion.
Jiang Hao took her in his arms and dismounted from the horse. Butler Liu and others who had been recuperating in the mansion these days heard that the general and his wife had returned, and immediately hurried out to greet them.
"General!"
"lady!"
"You're finally back!"
When everyone in the mansion heard what the two had said, they were almost crying with joy. The capital had been in chaos these days. The lady had been detained in Prince Rui's Mansion, and the general had gone to Jiangyang City. Recently, no one had quarreled in the general's mansion, and it was so quiet that it seemed as if it was empty.
Everyone in the mansion was not used to it, especially the days when the lady scolded the general in the mansion and quarreled with him, causing a huge chaos.
Jiang Hao didn't wait for them to say anything and immediately ordered:
"Prepare hot water, Madam needs to take a bath."
"Ask the kitchen to make some crab meat lion's head, crystal braised pork, and lotus fish dumplings—"
Upon hearing this, Song Wan'er couldn't help but look sideways at Jiang Hao.
How did this person know that the first thing she would do when she came back was to take a shower and change clothes?
There are also crab meat lion head, crystal braised pork, lotus fish bun...
They are all her favorite foods.
