Chapter 679 How Despicable
"Zhao Hu's first wife stayed in the capital and had no children. But since her family had no one left, she used the identity of Zhao's first wife and volunteered to take a concubine for Zhao Hu. However, those concubines could not stay in the northern city. I heard that the second wife could live there peacefully and gave birth to two sons and a daughter for Zhao Hu, so Zhao Hu treated her very well."
After Xiao Lanyuan said this, Fu Zhaoning was speechless.
Although she did not understand the idea of a wife voluntarily taking a concubine for her husband, she could barely respect it in the context of the times.
It's not her anyway.
Now she wanted to summarize it into one sentence: Zhao Hu is still very good to Zheng Jianv, the second wife.
"Eleven, is something wrong with Mrs. Zhao Er?"
"They had an accident in a place called Yixianshan not long after they entered Dahe. Madam Zhao Er was abducted, and the small group of soldiers escorting her died. Only Zhao Zhishan escaped and came to Jicheng to report the news."
"Why doesn't he go back to the northern city of Zhao State to report the news? Wouldn't it be better to find Zhao Hu?" Fu Zhaoning was a little puzzled.
Xiao Lanyuan thought about it and understood what Zhao Zhishan was thinking.
"I guess they're afraid Zhao Hu will make a big mistake."
Eleven nodded, "Master Zheng also questioned this at the time. Zhao Zhishan said that this is Dahe. Their general dotes on the second wife. If he heard that she was in trouble, he would definitely come here in person. But his identity does not allow him to leave Beibian City without permission, let alone enter Dahe."
If the emperors of the two countries knew about this, it would be a big mistake.
If Zhao Hu were to go out, he would definitely bring his elite troops with him.
That would be a violation of military discipline.
For Da He, it is also a very dangerous behavior.
Moreover, although the place where they had the accident was not closer than returning to the northern city, the road was easier to travel.
The way out of the border is all mountainous and there is a deserted land with wind and sand. Zhao Zhishan was afraid that he would not be able to make it back. If he died on the way, no one would find him. If he went to Dahe Town, he might meet passers-by who could help him.
He had already torn off the insignia of a Zhao soldier, so not everyone could recognize where his uniform was from.
Fu Zhaoning thought about it and it made sense. She could only recognize that it was a military uniform, but she didn't know where the soldiers were from.
"Then what does this have to do with the miscellaneous troops outside the Zhao Kingdom Pass?"
"Zhao Zhishan said he suspected that it was that group of miscellaneous troops who were targeting them. It was they who abducted Madam Zhao Er. They might want to threaten Zhao Hu, or they might know that Madam Zhao Er's family is the richest in Jicheng and want to make some money from them." Eleven said.
He didn't listen to anything else, thinking about coming back to report as soon as possible.
Fu Zhaoning looked at Xiao Lanyuan, "Is there anything I need you to do about this matter?"
It sounded like this had nothing to do with Xiao Lanyuan, but she always felt something was weird.
Seeing her concerned look, Xiao Lanyuan couldn't help but reach out and stroke her head, and gently pinched the flesh of her cheek, "Ningning is so well behaved now? You think of me every time you hear any news?"
When Eleven and the others saw his actions and heard his words, they immediately stepped back, leaving this small corner to the two of them.
this--
The prince doesn’t even want to be serious in front of them now!
Is this something they can see?
Fu Zhaoning didn't expect that he would suddenly do such an intimate gesture. After he came to his senses, he glared at him a little annoyed.
What's the point of being well behaved? She's not a child!
She grabbed his hand. "I'm serious."
"Well, I know Ningning is concerned about me. She is afraid that I will be in Jicheng if something happens to the garrison and I am involved, which may cause the emperor to be suspicious."
Although she is Zhao Hu's second wife and the daughter of Mr. Zheng, it sounds like she has nothing to do with Xiao Lanyuan, but the news of Xiao Lanyuan's appearance in Dahe will sooner or later reach the capital and the emperor's ears.
When the time comes, the emperor will hardly blame Xiao Lanyuan for what happened in Dahe.
"The Emperor must think you have ambitions for that position. You sneaked to Dahe under the name of the Queen Mother. Will he think you want to take advantage of the situation and seize the military power in the border city first?"
She happened to go and treat Mr. Zheng's family——
"wrong!"
Fu Zhaoning suddenly thought of this, "What a coincidence! I just went to the Zheng family, and something happened to the daughter of the Zheng family who married General Zhaoguo!"
She finally knew what that strange feeling in her heart was.
What a coincidence.
She, the Zheng family, the young lady of the Zheng family, the border town defender of Zhao State, Xiao Lanyuan.
Once these key points are connected, it is very likely that they can be made into a big conspiracy.
"But who would have thought that I would be able to go to the Zheng family for treatment?"
Fu Zhaoning felt that it was unlikely. Was she just overthinking?
Xiao Lanyuan sighed softly, hugged her in his arms, and patted her back gently to comfort her and tell her not to worry so much.
"I'll check it out, don't think too much about it."
Fu Zhaoning nodded in his arms.
"Then be careful."
"Do you want to go back or stay here?" Xiao Lanyuan asked.
"I'll take a look around here."
She had to make sure that the rescue of Mr. Zheng just now was an accident and not arranged by someone secretly.
"Then you should be careful too."
Xiao Lanyuan left again soon.
When they got outside, Lan Rong flashed out.
"Your Highness, we received a letter from the Huguo Temple. The Queen suddenly sent someone to the temple. The Queen Mother was caught off guard and could not stop them. The Queen has already discovered that you are not in the temple. Now the capital has issued an order saying that you have suddenly disappeared and asking officials from all places to search for you with all their strength."
Xiao Lanyuan looked slightly gloomy.
When the emperor heard that he was not in the Huguo Temple, he panicked and immediately searched for his whereabouts throughout the country. How much was he afraid of him?
He has been living in seclusion in Youqing Peak for so many years, but he has not been able to make the emperor let down his guard against him.
It seems that the emperor was panicking because he was still alive and in good health, and did not die early as the imperial physician had previously speculated.
Another secret guard flashed out.
"Your Majesty, a secret letter from Imperial Censor An."
He delivered a wax-sealed letter.
A letter from An Nian?
Xiao Lanyuan immediately opened the letter and quickly browsed its contents, his expression becoming even more stern.
Lan Rong looked at him with some concern, "Your Majesty, what did Censor An say in the letter?"
Xiao Lanyuan handed over the letter.
The letter said that Emperor Da He had sent a letter telling the abbot of Youqing Peak about the fate of Prince Jun and Princess Fuyun.
The abbot of Youqing Peak said that Prince Jun had the fate of the Ziwei Emperor Star. If he had Princess Fuyun by his side, his luck would surely increase greatly and he would be unrivaled.
By saying this, isn't it equivalent to telling Emperor Zhao that if Prince Jun marries our Princess Fuyun, he can ascend the throne at any time?
How could Emperor Zhao sit still after reading such a letter!
"Emperor Dahe is so despicable!" Lan Rong was furious.
This is provoking trouble.
When writing this letter, Emperor Dahe didn't know that Prince Jun was in Dahe, and he was already trying to sow discord.
