Chapter 2147 It’s almost there, it’s almost there
Wu Yingqiu looked at him and said with a smile, "I wonder what the General and the Empress are talking about so early in the morning?"
Xu Miaoyin didn't say anything.
Xu Shifeng smiled and said, "Nothing, the Queen is worried about the Prince of Wei."
"Oh, His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei."
Hearing this, Wu Yingqiu raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Xu Miaoyin with a deep gaze, and then said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't be too concerned. His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei is kind-hearted. Who in the court doesn't know his talents? I often tell my servants that His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei will achieve great things in the future."
“…”
“…”
I don't know why he would say such a thing at this time.
Although Xu Shifeng had brought up the topic, there was an unwritten taboo both inside and outside the palace that concubines and officials could not talk about the prince casually.
Especially, he is a prince with such a sensitive identity.
Even Xu Miaoyin was stunned for a moment, but she reacted quickly and said with a smile, "Thank you for your kind words, Duke. I also hope that this child can grow up quickly and help the emperor share his worries."
Wu Yingqiu smiled and said, "It's almost there, almost there."
Xu Shifeng listened from the side, a glint of light flashing in his eyes without any expression. He just smiled and said, "By the way, I wonder what brings you here so early this morning, Duke?"
Wu Yingqiu said, "Oh, there are some things I need to report to the emperor."
"Then Duke, please go quickly. The Emperor is in the Imperial Study and will probably have dinner later."
"Well, I'll go over there."
As he spoke, he bowed to the Queen and Xu Shifeng, then turned and walked towards the imperial study.
Xu Shifeng stood there, looking at his back, slightly lost in thought.
Xu Miaoyin asked, "What did he mean by that just now?"
Xu Shifeng turned around and looked at her seriously. Xu Miaoyin asked with a puzzled look on her face, "Why would he suddenly say something like that to me? 'Great deeds'? What did he mean when he said the King of Wei would do 'great deeds'?"
Xu Shifeng was silent for a moment, then said, "Your Majesty, don't pay attention to what he says."
Although he said not to pay attention to it, the wrinkles between his brows were deeper than when he just came out of the imperial study.
Who is Xu Miaoyin? Even if she doesn't care about the affairs of the previous dynasty, she can still see through people's hearts.
Obviously, Xu Shifeng took this sentence to heart.
She looked at Xu Shifeng and said softly, "What's going to happen?"
Xu Shifeng looked at her with a complicated expression.
But he still said: "Your Majesty, please don't ask too much. The Emperor has arranged all of this. In short, Your Majesty, please don't go against the Emperor's wishes."
“…”
Xu Miaoyin looked at him for a while and thought about it.
Then he said, "I understand."
After saying that, the two of them turned around and walked in their respective directions without saying anything else.
After Xu Shifeng made some progress, he suddenly stopped and silently recited the last few words Wu Yingqiu had just said -
It’s almost there, it’s almost there…
He frowned and looked back at the door of the imperial study. Xiao Shunzi had already gone in to report and came out to invite Wu Yingqiu in.
There was a slight sneer on the corner of his mouth: "So, that's the plan."
He turned and left.

On the other side, Xu Miaoyin walked slowly towards the harem, her steps slow and heavy.
She was also thinking about the meaning of Duke Cheng's words just now.
Duke Chengguo said that the King of Wei "will definitely do great things in the future", and then added "soon, soon". Could it be that what he was going to do was related to this matter?
You know, ordinary ministers would not dare to speak like this!
And he said it without hiding anything, even in front of himself and Xu Shifeng!
When we think about the fact that the emperor insisted on not bringing Prince Wei or even Princess Xinping when they went to the Great Altar to celebrate the late emperor's birthday, this would seem very unreasonable under normal circumstances.
What is he going to do?
Seeing her thoughtful look along the way, Chun'er, who was following beside her, said softly, "My Lady, you don't look well. Do you want to go back and rest?"
Xu Miaoyin shook her head: "Don't rush back."
"Where are you going, my lady?"
"Let's go and take a look at Chengqian Palace."
"Oh, okay."
Chun'er carefully helped her walk forward, and soon they arrived outside Chengqian Palace.
As soon as I reached the door, I heard a young man's laughter coming from inside.
The usually quiet Chengqian Palace seemed very lively at this moment, and because of the laughter of the young people, it was full of youthful vitality, completely different from the past.
Since the incident in Yiku Palace, although the emperor did not forcibly close Chengqian Palace again, he also asked him not to wander around in the palace. Therefore, King Wei returned to the days when he was "locked up" in Chengqian Palace.
But this time, it is different from before.
To be precise, he himself is different.
Although he was unable to leave Chengqian Palace, he asked people to find a dozen young men of similar age among the nobles, and had them live in the houses behind Chengqian Palace, so that they could practice martial arts with him every day.
These noble children who were found were naturally carefully selected.
Each of them is young, tall and handsome.
Moreover, they all like and are good at martial arts.
With their company, Zhu Chengxuan insisted on practicing martial arts every day. In addition, they also studied military tactics together in Chengqian Palace and discussed some major events of the time, talking until late at night every day.
With their company, Zhu Chengxuan is no longer as depressed as before.
Instead, his face showed some of the innocence and recklessness that a young person should have, and he looked much healthier.
At this moment, when Xu Miaoyin walked in, she saw a group of young people practicing wrestling in the yard. Zhu Chengxuan had just been thrown to the ground by a tall young man.
"ah--"
Chun'er let out a low cry.
She was about to step forward to stop him, but Xu Miaoyin stopped her with her hand.
Xu Miaoyin said, "Let's see."
The two men stood at the doorway. Zhu Chengxuan turned over and got up from the ground. He faced the young man who was half a head taller than him without any fear and said, "Come again!"
The two men confronted each other.
Suddenly, Zhu Chengxuan saw a gap under the opponent's feet, and immediately stepped forward, inserted one leg, directly strangled the opponent's popliteal fossa, and lifted the opponent's shoulders and pressed them down hard.
The young man was caught off guard and almost his upper body was flattened by him.
But this man is no ordinary person, his lower body is very stable.
He actually held on and hugged Zhu Chengxuan with both hands, and the two of them were in a stalemate.
After a long while, the young man smiled and said to Zhu Chengxuan, "Your Highness, if we keep going like this, you can't win, and I won't lose either. How about—"
Zhu Chengxuan thought for a moment and said, "Let's let go together."
The young man said, "Okay."
After saying that, the two of them let go of each other's hands.
