Chapter 416 Passion
Eight hundred taels of silver were urgently sent to the capital, and the emperor urgently summoned the prince, old prince Ning, and the minister of war to the palace to discuss matters. After the prince returned home, he called Xie Guimo to his study to talk.
When Xie Guimo came back, it was already evening, and Chen Tang asked, "Is the war going to start?"
"The war has already begun."
Yes, if the war had not already started, the border guards would not have sent the news to the capital in an urgent manner over a distance of 800 miles.
Chen Tang asked, "Was it Earl Changping who started the war?"
Xie Guimo sat down and said, "Yes and no."
Chen Tang was confused after hearing this.
If it is, it is. If it is not, it is not. How can it be both yes and no?
Chen Tang looked at Xie Guimo in confusion. Xie Guimo said, "More than half a month ago, the Eighth Prince of Xiliang was assassinated. He was shot in the shoulder with an arrow. The arrow had the mark of Daqi on it. Xiliang believed that Daqi sent someone to assassinate the Eighth Prince of Xiliang. They marched to the city and demanded an explanation from Daqi."
Chen Tang, "..."
She thought that the Earl of Changping would use some clever means to provoke war and send the prince and Xie Guimo to the battlefield, but it turned out to be so clumsy?
Chen Tang was speechless, "Xiliang believed it?"
Xie Guimo said, "So I said that it was the Earl of Changping who started it, but that's not true."
"The Eighth Prince of Xiliang is not favored. Killing him will not benefit Daqi in any way. Daqi sent people to assassinate him, and used arrows that were specially used by Daqi soldiers. There were many loopholes, but Xiliang believed that it was Daqi who did it. It is clear that Xiliang has long wanted to go to war with Daqi, but just lacked an excuse. Now they just take advantage of it."
When the Prince of Qi assassinated the Prince of Yu, he also tried to put the blame on Western Liang. If the imperial court had believed it, they would have fought with Western Liang long ago.
But they didn't believe it, and Xiliang chose to believe it, and there was nothing they could do.
The Western Liang army was at the gates of the city, and Da Qi was unable to give an explanation. In the end, they fought each other over a disagreement, and the conflict became more and more serious. Now the border is in a fierce battle.
Fortunately, Chen Tang was vigilant and his father took precautions and sent several trusted generals to the border. Otherwise, Xiliang would have come with such force that by the time the imperial court sent people to fight back, it would have been unknown how many cities had been captured by Xiliang.
Chen Tang cursed Changpingbo and Xiliang in his heart, and then asked, "You want to go to the border?"
There was a strong sense of reluctance in his voice.
Xie Guimo said, "My father will leave for the border the day after tomorrow. I will stay for a while. When the court has enough food and grass, I will escort them."
But it won’t take a few days to prepare food and fodder.
Chen Tang's eyes suddenly turned red. She had never been separated from Xie Guimo since she got married. Now that the war had broken out at the border, she didn't know how long it would take for her to come back.
Xie Guimo was also reluctant to separate from Shen Tang. Fortunately, the old lady and the second, third and fourth rooms had all moved out of the mansion, leaving only Shen Tang and the princess in the mansion, so there were fewer troubles. Otherwise, he would really be worried.
In his previous life, Xie Guimo went to the battlefield and was invincible, making the people of Xiliang terrified. If Concubine Ye and Shen Xi had not used the purse she embroidered, Xie Guimo would not have died. Shen Tang was worried about Xie Guimo going to the battlefield, but she firmly believed that Xie Guimo would come back safely.
But the prince died on the battlefield in his previous life. Chen Tang said, "Concubine Ye and Earl Changping did not hesitate to start a war to get you and father away. They would not poison you and father, right?"
Xie Guimo said, "I have already asked a Gu doctor to check it out, and he is not poisoned."
Chen Tang had already told Xie Guimo that the prince died on the battlefield in his previous life, and the prince himself knew it.
When Xie Guimo heard that the Duke of Zhenguo and his son died on the battlefield due to murder, he suspected that his own father was also murdered.
The princess almost died from the attack of a poisonous insect, and Xiao Huan invited a doctor who was good at detoxifying to come to the capital. How could Xie Guimo not let the doctor check the prince? The prince was worried about the princess and Shen Tang, and the old prince would also go to the battlefield. The prince wanted to go to the battlefield to see the situation. If Xie Guimo was not needed, he would let him stay in the mansion.
But Xie Guimo was worried that if the prince in his previous life had not died from a poison, he would have to go to the border to check on him. Although he often didn't treat his father well, he didn't want his father to die either.
Chen Tang knew that Xie Guimo was worried about the prince, so she would not stop him. In fact, even if the prince was fine, she would not stop Xie Guimo from going to the battlefield. A good man has ambitions to go far away. It would be a joke if the son of a general did not even go to the battlefield. What's more, Xie Guimo studied military tactics every day for the purpose of defending his country.
It was just the sadness of parting that lingered in his heart. Chen Tang wished he could go to the border with Xie Guimo, but he knew it was impossible.
Knowing that they would be going to the border in a few days, the two of them cherished each other especially, and after nightfall, Xie Guimo returned to the room and carried Chen Tang to bed.
The two of them clung to each other until death.
Again and again.
A certain gentleman had been patient for several months, and now that separation was imminent, he was even more reluctant to let her go, and wished he could rub the delicate girl into his bones.
Normally, Chen Tang would not allow him to bully her like this, but thinking of the separation, she could only sacrifice her life to accompany the gentleman.
I hardly slept all night, and when I woke up the next day, it was almost noon.
Chen Tang leaned softly against the big pillow. Ginkgo Qiutong came into the room with a copper basin. "The Crown Prince's wife is finally awake. The Princess came here just now..."
Chen Tang's face flushed. She glanced at the clepsydra. She had actually slept until this hour. "Why didn't you wake me up?"
Ginkgo said, "The prince won't allow it, and the princess won't allow it either. The princess came here to see the young master and young lady. By the way, let the prince and princess go to the Peony Courtyard for dinner tonight."
The prince will leave for the border tomorrow, and we must have a reunion dinner together before he leaves.
Chen Tang had had a midnight snack last night, but she was so hungry now that she was starving. She threw back the quilt and got out of bed. Her legs felt so soft that they didn't feel like her own. What was even more annoying was that there were several red marks on her neck that couldn't be covered even with powder.
When Xie Guimo came back for lunch, he was greeted by Chen Tang's glare. Xie Guimo leaned close to her ear and said, "My husband has a lot on him too. Do you want to see?"
Chen Tang, "..."
Is...is there?
The intensity of last night flashed through Chen Tang’s mind, and his eyes suddenly wandered.
Xie Guimo knew that she remembered it, and he chuckled. He bit her round earlobe and whispered in her ear, his hot breath spraying on her neck, making her feel numb and unbearable, "Your husband likes your passion."
What a passionate bastard!
She shouldn't feel sorry for him!
Chen Tang was both ashamed and annoyed.
"Have a meal!"
A certain master was very obedient and sat down to eat, and he was overbearing and wanted to occupy all of Shen Tang's time. The wet nurse brought the child over, and after a while, she either took the child out to bask in the sun or took him back to sleep.
Chen Tang was dissatisfied, "Why don't you let me look after the child?"
A certain master said confidently, pulling Chen Tang to sit in his arms, “When I go to the border, you can accompany them all day and night, and you can only accompany me these few days.”
I've never seen anyone who is jealous of his own child. Fortunately, the child is still young and doesn't know how to get angry.
But children will always grow up. He has no reason to anger the prince, so he is not worried at all that Jing'er will follow suit in the future.
