All kinds of conspiracies and calculations have come to an end, Xu Yuanqing no longer wants to hold them in a farce, it's time to end the curtain.

"The princess is still conspiring with Shen Yuze, so you can think about it clearly. When the Dongchuang incident happened, you are guilty of the same crime as him." He said frankly and not implicitly, seeing her expression as usual, he continued, "He is originally dressed in white, whether he is successful or not.It's all about me, the princess is different from him, Duke Huai's crimes are limited to him, and the Lu family is not affected, does the princess want to use the Lu family's foundation to be buried with him?"

"How did the son know that he must be buried with him?"

Seeing her refusal to get in, Xu Yuanqing sneered, "Even if it is done, will a powerful official under one person and over ten thousand marry a notorious princess as his wife? Or, the princess has a deep relationship with him, even ifNo name, no role, it doesn't matter to you as a concubine or a concubine?"

His every word wanted to stab people's hearts like a sword, Lu Qiuling's expression finally froze. She was spoiled and spoiled since she was a child, arrogant and domineering, and she was used to being praised by others.After her defeat, she was bullied all the time, and the arrogance in her heart was gradually smoothed away, thinking that as long as she could get revenge, she could bear any grievances.

Now, just a few words from Xu Yuanqing stirred up the desire in her heart. She stared at him and said coldly: "Your Majesty believes that I must be a dodder? Only by relying on a man can I survive?"

Her eyes were full of sarcasm, Xu Yuanqing saw the arrogance in her eyes that had not dissipated, twitched the corners of her mouth, poured her a cup of tea himself, and wanted to hear her real purpose for coming here.

The most unforgivable enmity between Lu Qiuling and him was the poison. She blamed Li Ying for her mother's death, and wanted to make Li Ying suffer just like her father, so he knew that he had been poisoned by the poison, so he started with the prescription., exacerbate his pain, and watch him go from bad to worse.

If you want to say how much you hate her, Xu Yuanqing didn't want to pursue it when he witnessed the death of Huai Guogong.

"The enmity between me and my son was accumulated by the previous generation. Since I knew why my mother died, it was impossible for us to shake hands and make peace. Now my father died at your hands. That's right, he was the one who killed her first.You are the first, and it is not wrong for you to want him to die, but Shizi, I witnessed my father being tortured to death by you, and I dreamed at midnight that I would not be at peace, so I will let it go, and I will be ashamed to face my parents under the nine springs."

She spoke calmly, her expression was calm, she didn't tear her heart, she didn't show her teeth and claws, she had already digested everything, and she saw it very clearly. Her childhood dream was shattered when she was imprisoned in Guan Zhao Prison.The only thoughts that can support her to live now are Shen Qiwen and Xu Yuanqing.

Shen Qiwen has already lost, and now there is only one Xu Yuanqing left.

She did all this not so much for the sake of her deceased relatives, but rather for her to live well for the rest of her life.

Xu Yuanqing didn't want to be with her forever, Duke Huai is dead, and he has cleared his poison, Lu Qiuling is just a pawn of Shen Yuze, as long as she still wants to conspire with Shen Yuze, she will not end well, so what kind of fate will she end up with?The ending is her own choice.

The only thing he can be sure of is that she chose a dead end for herself.

"I'm just here to deliver a message for Mr. Shen."

Xu Yuanqing raised his eyebrows and looked at him quietly.

"Which one will the world save?"

This is an old stalker who wants to choose between two, Xu Yuanqing sneered, not making a choice."Master Shen expected that the prince would not choose if he was complacent, so he asked the prince again, should he save his relatives or his sweetheart?"

Before Xu Yuanqing thought about the meaning of this sentence, Lu Qiuling took out a rattle from his cuff, and Xu Yuanqing's pupils dilated immediately. This was something he gave to his sister, and he made it secretly after he knew that her sister was pregnant., He accidentally scratched a few holes on the skin, there will be no fakes.

His heart was filled with fear, and he couldn't make a sound when he opened his mouth several times.

Liu Qian's long sword had already parted from Lu Qiuling's neck. He gritted his teeth with a stern expression, "The empress has something to do, I will definitely make your life worse than death!"

A line of blood appeared on Lu Qiuling's slender neck. She looked up at this killer who showed no mercy. The hostility on his body could not be ignored, and she absolutely believed that he would do what he said.

She turned her head to look at Xu Yuanqing, his face was pale, and his eyes were full of shock and worry. She smiled indifferently when he achieved his goal, "We have no choice but to threaten him with this. If the prince is willing to help, we will naturally not go to ruin."

Xu Yuanqing clenched his fists and glared, "What are you going to do?"

Lu Qiuling: "I want a token for my son."

Xu Yuanqing frowned slightly, and had a guess in his heart.

"Young Master Xiang is cautious in doing things. If there is a token of the son, he must be able to complete the errand assigned by His Majesty faster, and the son will be able to meet him as soon as possible, right?"

"Heh!" Xu Yuanqing sneered, he was threatening Changyuan with him, his eyes were sharp, "It seems that the princess is really going to be a desperado."

"Hiss~" Liu Qian's sword pushed forward, and Lu Qiuling was in pain. She could feel the warm blood flowing down her neck.Empress?"

Xu Yuanqing closed his eyes slightly, his thoughts were turbulent and turbulent, his heart was being pulled hard, there were countless swords approaching, he was approaching those swords every time he breathed in, and he might fall into it within half an inch.abyss.

The late spring breeze has no damp breath, but is filled with the dullness and heat of this summer.

People were coming and going on the street, and there were noises one after another. He could hear the cries of countless shops interspersed in meditation, from far and near, but he couldn't remember what they were selling at all.

He thought his sister and Xiang Changyuan would be in his mind, but unexpectedly, he was thinking about some trivial things—the appearance of the pineapple tree in the yard in spring, summer, autumn and winter, and the white dog in Zuo Yue's arms growing up day by day, there is a constant stream on Suzaku Street, the four seasons rotate, and the cycle of life and death of all things.

The clouds are moving, the wind is moving, and people are moving.

But for a moment, his mind was like the four seasons.

He slowly opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was the teacup on the table, two pieces of soaked tea were lying quietly in the teacup.

He raised his hand and took off the hairband from his head and handed it to her. On the day he shared the bed with Xiang Changyuan, his hairpin was lost somewhere, so he borrowed his hairband, and laterI will keep it for myself, and I will remember it when I see Chang Yuan.

Lu Qiuling took it.

Seeing this, Liu Qian reluctantly withdrew his sword and stood aside, refusing to withdraw.

Lu Qiuling raised her hand and wiped her neck. There were bright blood stains on her fingertips. She got up to leave, but suddenly turned around again. She stared down, the blood on her neck dripped on the table.Hold it down, with a cold look on his face, "I'm curious, how the prince will break this situation."

She looked down at the blood stained on her hands, warm and sticky. Not long ago, these hands were not touched by Yangchun water, and they were as white as jade, but now calluses and small shallow mouths can be seen through the blood.

Her eyes were bright red, and there was a meaningful smile on the corner of her mouth, and what she said was also unpredictable, "I don't want to make the same mistake again, and please think about it more, how can this situation be broken."

Xu Yuanqing stared at the blood drop on the table, his complex expression restrained, his expression was normal, he leaned back, raised his hand to touch the red mole under his eyes, his eyes gradually faded, and now only when he was emotional, he could faintly see red.

He looked sideways at the angry Liu Qian, and asked in a deep voice, "Has anyone been rescued?"

Liu Qian nodded, "Yes."

Xu Yuanqing patted the table and stood up, smoothed his cuffs and walked forward. Seeing his serious expression, he said in a low voice, "My sister will be fine, don't worry."

"Huh?" Liu Qian was slightly startled, but fortunately he was a person who could not express emotions, even if he was surprised, his eyes moved slightly, people who were far away couldn't see his expression, let alone his dark eyeliner.

Xu Yuanqing raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and ordered him in a low voice, "You go to the palace."

Liu Qian was nervous that Empress Xu couldn't wait to leave, so Xu Yuanqing grabbed him and whispered something in his ear before letting him go.

As soon as he left, Xunniang came back and stopped him panting, "Senior."

Seeing her sweating profusely, Xu Yuanqing seemed to have something urgent to say.

Xunniang: "There is no news from Northern Xinjiang."

"how?"

Xunniang didn't know why, she just came back from Xiao Yu'an, she said she didn't have any news, she tried her best but couldn't find out, it seems that there is something wrong with Beijiang, the envoys are all imprisoned, Beijiang blocked the news, so the outside can't find out.

As a result, the negotiations between the two countries will be unfavorable, and they are afraid that there will be another war.

Xu Yuanqing calmed down and comforted her, "Don't worry."

"Let's go to Xiangfu."

The two rushed to Xiang's mansion non-stop, and met Xiang Changbo who was going out. He was wearing an official robe, and it seemed that he was going to enter the palace.

He was slightly startled when he saw the two people coming, and was dragged back to the mansion by Xun Niang before he could ask any questions.

Xu Yuanqing had no time to delay, and asked anxiously, "Where's the old general?"

Both of them were trustworthy people, and Xiang Changbo didn't lie, he said truthfully, "We will divide into two groups, he will go to the barracks, and I will go to the palace to face the saint."

Hearing this, Xu Yuanqing wanted to slap herself twice, and said while running outside, "Xunniang hold him down."

He unloaded the carriage, got on the horse neatly, and without caring about anything else, he immediately hit the horse and rushed towards the barracks.

The last time Xiang Changyuan took him on horseback, he made up his mind to learn equestrianism. After recovering from his illness, he asked Uncle Xu to find a pony for him to practice a few times. Equestrianism is not a day's work.There are people watching the horse for him. This is the first time he has done it by himself, and it is still a tall and strong horse.

He held the reins tightly, and moved forward with gritted teeth. Fortunately, Xiangfu was not on Suzaku Street, and there were fewer people. Hearing the sound of horseshoes, the crowd dispersed automatically, and his fear eased a little.

All the way to the military camp stationed in the outskirts, Xu Yuanqing didn't dare to delay for a moment. When he got out of the urban area, he beat his horse desperately. He only hoped that the old general would not fall into the enemy's tricks.

Hitting the horse was too fast, and the path was bumpy.

The horse's hoof stumbled on the stone, and Xu Yuanqing hadn't learned how to balance on the horse's back, so he panicked all of a sudden, and couldn't stop the horse even while holding on to the reins.

"Whoa!..."

It was useless for him to bark, the horse was out of control and couldn't hear his commands, it rushed forward desperately, and fell into the dense forest, Xu Yuanqing's face was hurt by the branches and leaves, and he didn't dare to let go, the horse passed by the road blockingThe stone ridge was tossing and turning in the forest.

Xu Yuanqing closed his eyes tightly, his heart was beating like a drum, and his whole body became tense.

"Hoo~"

Xu Yuanqing's eyes lit up as the wind blew past his ears. He tentatively opened his eyes and saw that the horse led him out of the jungle, but there was no tendency to stop.

Suddenly a touch of black fell from the sky, and the horse's hooves flew into the air and was subdued. Xu Yuanqing took a closer look and saw that it was a man in black.

After subduing the horse, he turned over and disappeared again.

Xu Yuanqing quickly came back to his senses, got off the horse with lingering fear, and after checking that the horse was fine, he wanted to continue on his way. He was stunned for a moment when he grabbed the rein, and looked for the sound.

There was a sound of horseshoes, and a few people wandered behind him.

The closer you can see, the leader is an old man with white beard and hair, wearing armor. It is the old general Xiangru that Xu Yuanqing took a lot of time to find.

He turned to Jules and looked down at him, "Who is it?"

Xu Yuanqing was overjoyed, threw away the reins and saluted, "Xu Yuanqing, junior, I have something to tell the general."

Hearing this, Xiang Ru was slightly startled, and looked at him reflexively, "You are Xu Shizi?"

Xu Yuanqing saw that there were heavily armed generals behind him, and asked solemnly, "Please move forward, the junior, I have something important to tell you."

Seeing his nervous expression, Xiang Ru looked back at the person who brought him, "It's okay, just tell me what you have to say, all of you are trustworthy people of this old man."

Xu Yuanqing had seen the generals present one by one, some he had seen and some he hadn't, so he naturally had doubts in his heart, but Xiang Ru came to the barracks to lead them at this time, which showed that he had great trust in them, so he thought about the truth"Changning is fine, she is now in an inn in northern Xinjiang."

"What?"

Not only Xiang Ru was shocked, but also the accompanying generals were shocked.

Xu Yuanqing repeated again, "Xiang Changning is safe and sound."

Xiang Ru and the accompanying general looked at each other, making sure they heard correctly, he got off his horse and approached him, "This matter is of great importance, if you..."

"General, Changning's trip to northern Xinjiang is a one-off." Xu Yuanqing interrupted him anxiously, for fear that he would not believe what he said, and told all the things out, "Someone in Beijing sent a letter to the grand master and the uncle of the country, and planned to coordinateGoing to Changning, they want to use Changning as a bargaining chip to bring down Xiang Jia."

"Xiang Changbo was injured and A Yuan went to suppress the bandits. Everything was set up by them to contain the Xiang family. They threatened the emperor to make the princes."

Regarding the matter of Shen Qiwen, Emperor Chongming has rectified the court situation, and all the ministers are in danger. At this time, if another accident occurs to the Xiang family, not only the court will be in chaos, but the northern border will also be ready to move. The Chongming Emperor has no generals to use, so they can control the court situation, who will be establishedThey have the final say for the prince.

Xu Yuanqing: "The general is going to the barracks right now, and he's in their arms!"

Xiang Ru frowned when he heard the words, his aging face affected everyone, his whole face showed a bitter look, he hesitated to speak.

Xu Yuanqing breathed a sigh of relief when he heard it, and said solemnly, "Changning has been rescued, the plan of the grand master and the uncle of the country has failed, and I have ordered people to spread the news. Changning is the backup sent by His Majesty. BeijiangI dare not do anything to her."

"Ayuanna, I have sent a letter to tell him that Changning will not act rashly if nothing happens."

As long as there is nothing wrong with Beijiang and Yunzhou, Emperor Chongming will not be suspicious of the Xiang family and will not fall into the trap.

After Xu Yuanqing finished speaking, his breathing was not smooth, he panted slightly, stared at Xiang Ru with all his attention, and was always ready to talk to him again, until he understood that he could not go to the barracks at this moment.

Xiang Ru's pair had already been infested by the wind and sand in the northern border, and they were already muddy and blurred. He looked down upon his expression, and saw his brows twitched, and suddenly he knelt down with his fists folded, and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty has a long-term plan to save me, Xiang Jia, no, you can save meIt’s the people of the world, thank you, old man.”

As soon as he knelt down, the generals who followed him also dismounted and bowed down.

Caught off guard, Xu Yuanqing was startled, helped him to stay still and knelt down, "The general is serious."

He was not as upright and dignified as the old general said, he only thought about the people around him all the time, this bow made his heart hang, it was really unbearable.

He will help Xiangru up, and solemnly promise, "The general believes in me, and I will not disappoint the general."

Xiang Ru nodded in relief, and patted his hand.

After persuading him, Xu Yuanqing heaved a sigh of relief, helped him onto the horse, Xiang Ru rode with him, and the other generals followed.

Xu Yuanqing was not good at equestrian skills, he wobbled a few times and almost bumped into Xiang Ru's horse. He was so embarrassed that he wanted to find an excuse to take a step ahead, but before he opened his mouth, he listened to Xiang Ru Tao, "I remember A Yuan was like this when he first learned to ride a horse."

"..."

Xu Yuanqing was even more embarrassed.

"I heard Ayuan mention you."

Xu Yuanqing smiled awkwardly, not knowing what to say in reply.

Xiang Ru was like a fish in water on horseback, and through the face tainted by the years, he could see the chicness of his youth. He looked sideways at Xu Yuanqing with soft eyes, "Your Majesty, it is my son who has climbed the ladder."

Xu Yuanqing swallowed, and hurriedly said, "I am not good enough for Ah Yuan."

In all fairness, it is his luck that a person like him can meet a fool like Xiang Changyuan.

In this world, I am afraid that no one can withstand his sudden distance and nearness, his eccentric speech, vindictiveness, insidious and cunning.

Xiang Changyuan frankly accepts everything about him, and is willing to warm him up bit by bit.

Thinking of him, Xu Yuanqing's eyes became softer, and the corners of his mouth raised unconsciously.

Xiang Ru smiled, "My son, this matter is over, I will take A Yuan to your mansion to meet Mrs. Hou Ye."

"Ah!" Xu Yuanqing was startled for a moment, and then he realized that he was overjoyed, "Thank you, General."

After finishing the gossip, Xiang Ru left first, leaving a general to escort him home.

He hid the joy of being recognized by the elders in his heart, thinking about how to tell him when he came back to the long-term, and thinking about when they would meet again.

In the middle of the night, Liu Qian came slowly.

Xu Yuanqing didn't wait for him to finish his tea, and asked anxiously, "Who is it?"

"Concubine Xuan."

Sure enough, if Shen Yuze wanted to succeed, he must have a sharp sword in the palace. Concubine Xuan had the third prince under her knees, and it would be the cheapest to plan with her.

The third prince was stupid, and the mother and son were treated coldly in the palace. After a long time, Concubine Xuan had resentment in her heart. Shen Yuze threw an olive branch at the right time, and she would definitely hold on tightly.

Xu Yuanqing didn't feel sorry for Concubine Xuan, every woman in the palace was full of resentment and couldn't be spoiled day and night.

It's fine if the evil thoughts are directed towards the instigator, preferring to embarrass those who are trapped in the deep palace, resenting the heaven and earth, but the hatred is not directed towards the emperor, and innocent people are implicated inexplicably.

It's just that the third prince is pitiful and has become a puppet for the adults to fight for profit.

Xu Yuanqing tapped his fingers on the stone table. Now that Shen Qiwen has been deposed, so many eyes are staring at the crown prince. The third prince is stupid, the fourth prince is still in his infancy, and Emperor Chongming is still in his prime..

Shen Yuze wanted to use the third prince as a puppet, but the premise was that the beloved queen did not give birth to a son.

He was outside the palace, unable to keep an eye on the enemy all the time, and was afraid that an accident would happen if he was not careful. Xu Yuanqing raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows and asked, "Did you tell that person the news?"

"Yeah." Liu Qian nodded, seeing his frown, and comforted him, "Your Majesty will be more cautious when she knows about it."

Empress Xu is weak, and after many years of recuperation, she finally got pregnant again. It is wrong for her to worry about these facts before the pregnancy is stable.

With an inaudible sigh, he got up and walked into the room, went to the desk and opened the candy box, deep into the box with his hand, and took out a piece of jade from among the colorful candies.

Holding Yu Jue in his hands, Xu Yuanqing turned to ask Liu Qian who had followed through the door, "You said before that Shen Yuze has a master who you can't beat."

Liu Qian took the time to pour water, and when he heard him ask, he nodded his head, and he drank a glass of water in one gulp, and asked, "Do you want to get rid of it?"

"When he dies, he will startle the snake." Xu Yuanqing shook his head, walked up to him a few steps, and handed Yu Jue to him, "Are you sure you can avoid him and remove the eyeliner?"

Liu Qian didn't agree immediately, he glanced at Yu Jue and asked cautiously, "How many people?"

Xu Yuanqing raised his right hand, spread out five fingers, and bent them.

"Sure." Liu Qian agreed, seeing that his palm was still raised, suddenly a person came into his mind, raised his hand and clapped his hands in a strange way, and there was a crisp "slap", both of them were taken aback for a moment.

Liu Qian turned and left expressionlessly.

Xu Yuanqing watched him twitch his lips with his hands and feet, and rolled his eyes. It's not clear why he is bullying his family.

"Ah Choo!"

Yunzhou, Xiang Changyuan took people to hide in the cave, rubbed his nose, and continued to stare outside.

A young general beside him complained in a low voice, "General, we have been hiding here for two days. My brothers are starving to death. What are you going to do?"

Xiang Changyuan replied as always: "Take the stolen goods."

The young general moved his mouth and didn't dare to curse, he said with a fake smile, "General, please bow your head to the governor, lead the troops to surround these rebels, then you will have no say what you want."

At the beginning of his journey, Xiang Changyuan had a thousand elite soldiers under him, which was more than enough for him to deal with bandits who had not yet reached scale.

It was only after he came to Yunzhou that he realized that it was because of his shallow knowledge. These bandits were not as simple as gathering in twos and occupying the mountains to become kings. They not only included Yunzhou bandits, but also scattered hooligans from other places, and even refugees from war times gathered together.

In just half a year, he had already developed into the emperor of Yunzhou.

Xiang Changyuan can't act rashly, especially when he meets the bandit leaders, some of whom are friends from his travels, he has doubts in his heart, let alone act rashly.

The governor of Yunzhou also made it difficult for him several times, and refused to transfer troops to borrow money. He wanted to ambush several waves of bandits to catch useful people for interrogation, but he was seen through several times, and the elite soldiers were wasted into remnants.

No matter how stupid Xiang Changyuan was, he could tell that Yunzhou was plagued by bandits, and someone was probably helping them, otherwise it would have been impossible to get things done so quickly.

Therefore, these days, he is dealing with the governor on the surface, but he is actually inquiring about the deal between them.

Xu Yuanqing's letter came in time, and by the way, he sent him some helpers, which happened to be used on the governor.

Yesterday, it was found out that the bandit leader asked the governor to discuss important matters in the mountains, and he immediately ordered someone he trusted to come and ambush him.

The soldiers waited from last night until now, but they haven't seen a single shadow, their energy has been exhausted, and they fell into a drowsy sleep.

Xiang Changyuan didn't dare to slack off, and stared at the outside with all his attention, his eyes turned red from exhaustion.

"Adult, can you think clearly?"

There was a sound outside, and everyone woke up in shock, overjoyed, covering each other's mouths to avoid making a sound from excitement, and waited until they calmed down before looking outside together, ready to go.

The governor and the bandits exchanged tokens, raised their hands to Chang Yuan, and immediately gave the order when the two finished exchanging things.

The crowd rushed out and surrounded them.

Xiang Changyuan took a closer look, he didn't expect that the culprit who came to trade turned out to be Huan Yu, a little unbelievable, then remembered something, his eyes changed suddenly, he sneered, quickly pinched Huan Yu's chin, put his knee on her abdomen,The thing in her mouth was forced to spit out, and then she threw it to her subordinates.

The governor of Yunzhou panicked and hurriedly made excuses, "General Xiang, I am here to lure the enemy!"

Xiang Changyuan's eyes were gloomy and cold, and he ordered without hesitation, "Take it away!"

It has been half a month since the bandits were suppressed, this is the first time they have a direction, everyone is full of energy, and they are merciless towards the governor.

Xiang Changyuan returned to the city and wrote two reports, both of which were sent to the capital, and both were for the emperor to read.

He called the person sent by Xu Yuanqing, and ordered, "Send the gangsters to the capital secretly immediately."

After sending him out of the city, he ordered the governor to be imprisoned and took away his seal, "Come here! Close the city!"

With the military power in Yunzhou, no one dared to disobey. He ordered Guancheng without hesitation. There were too many monsters in Yunzhou.
