Chapter 156
Chapter 156
Xu Wenjin's preparations were adequate. After everyone spent the morning finding the foothold he had arranged outside the Chunming Gate, the whole night of embarrassment was finally over.It's just that the outside of Anyang City is really not a place to stay for a long time, so after hastily packed up supplies, the group didn't dare to stay there for a long time, and set off on the road after lunch.
The Eldest Princess changed into clean and warm clothes, and sat in the carriage with the stove in her arms. Naturally, the Grand Concubine was with her.Zhong Shao and Su Mo are also in the car at the moment, and this carriage can be regarded as an independent space, and several people gather together to discuss matters.
Zhong Shao was a little worried, so he said: "It's the middle of winter, and there are not many people walking around outside. Today is Zhengdan, and our team is very conspicuous on the road. If the emperor sends someone to chase him down, then I’m afraid it’s hard to hide this deed.”
This is indeed a problem, but the noble concubine said after hearing the words: "Then we still have to stay in Anyang, just sit and wait for death?"
Naturally, it is impossible, so it is even more difficult. Thinking about Xiao Qian's actions at this moment, the time he chose is really excellent.
Zhong Shao sighed, thinking about it, there was nothing else to do, this group of hundreds of people was quite conspicuous on the road, but even if they were broken up into pieces, it would be equally abnormal to walk outside in this season.If people are dispersed, it may be even more difficult to encounter danger, so we can only take one step at a time.She was just thinking, can they find a place to hide for a while when they are farther away from the capital?
Thinking of this, Zhong Shao suddenly asked: "Aniang said earlier that she wanted to contact the vassal king, do you have someone in mind?"
After the eldest princess was injured, she was mentally weak, but the pain behind her also made it difficult for her to sleep, so she could only close her eyes and rest.Hearing the words at this moment, he raised his eyelids and looked at Zhong Shao, his gaze a little downcast: "Your husband is planning for you with all his heart, so he must not be unprepared."
There is no need to say the superfluous words so clearly, the few people present are also very clear-minded, how can they not understand?If the Eldest Princess dies this time, and Zhong Shao wants to benefit from it, it will be very difficult for her to do anything on her own, so it will definitely stir up trouble.And starting with the death of a princess, the turmoil that was stirred up naturally started from the clan.
Zhong Shao's eyes drooped slightly, but in fact there was nothing to hide, even if the Eldest Princess didn't ask, she would still tell, not to mention that she had already revealed it to Su Mo before.So she didn't hesitate, and said, "Mr. Xu arranged a route to Mianzhou."
Princess Dachang was not surprised, but she looked at Zhong Shao with a more serious gaze: "Mianzhou, King Fu. There is also the Princess Minglan who has been entangled with you endlessly and is not even married yet..."
Why is it wrong to say this?It's as if Xiao Wenxuan didn't marry because of herself!
Zhong Shao came to his senses immediately, and hurriedly raised his head to look at the eldest princess. After seeing the eldest princess, he hurriedly turned his head to look at Su Mo, and hurriedly explained: "Ah Mo, listen to me, I have nothing to do with the princess. .”
Su Mo didn't say anything when he heard the words, but the noble concubine said coolly: "King Fu, I heard that he is not used to participating in random wars, and he escaped the battle for the heir , why do you want to help you now? Could it be that... want you to be his son-in-law?"
Is this really my mother?She knew it well and still made fun of herself, and even made fun of this kind of thing, what if the eldest princess believed it? !
However, just as Zhong Shao's expression changed drastically, the Concubine Gui over there turned and said to the Eldest Princess: "But Yingyang, don't worry, I've been watching how Ah Mo has been waiting for her these past few years. The kid is ungrateful, I will be the first to break her leg!"
Zhong Shao nodded hastily, she hadn't expected to see this at all before, and she didn't expect the eldest princess to be so sensitive.But having said that, it was because of Xiao Wenxuan that they were able to hook up with King Fu.
Thinking of this, Zhong Shao was inexplicably guilty, so he secretly took Su Mo's hand, and said to the Eldest Princess with a solemn face: "The previous things were all arranged by my husband, I have no intention of power, and the future things are all up to you." Auntie is in charge."
Xu Wenjin was blamed by Zhong Shao without hesitation, but the entanglement between them is really not for outsiders.
Fortunately, Su Mo never misunderstood, and the Eldest Princess just stared at her twice, and then let go of this topic. After all, now is not the time to discuss these children's affairs.She closed her eyes and pondered for a moment, then said: "It's okay to unite with King Fu. It's just that in the clan, apart from Xiao Qian, he is also the person closest to that position. If he has ambitions, he will have to do it again fight."
Zhong Shao was taken aback when he heard the words, and subconsciously said: "There is still King An in Beijing..."
An Wang Xiao Yi, the fourth prince of the late emperor, is still stranded in Beijing and has not left the town, and was suppressed by Xiao Qian until he was almost imprisoned.But at the same time, he is also the person that the eldest princess once planned to support after he was abolished. The eldest princess will not forget him, right?
The eldest princess did not forget it, but just cast an unpredictable glance, and Zhong Shao suddenly understood - he is the only remaining son of Emperor Taiping besides Xiao Qian, such a person is born with an advantage, The closest to the throne.At first the eldest princess wanted to support him because of this, but now the eldest princess intends to replace him, so naturally he can't stay!
From this point of view, in addition to killing his parents from now on, Xiao Qian may also have to bear the name of mutilating his younger brother.
Zhong Shao is inexplicably a little timid, but she also understands in her heart, how many people who can plan big things are kind-hearted and soft-hearted?Anyway, the Eldest Princess always cares for the people around her, and as the kind of person who is favored, she naturally doesn't say much.
Speaking of which, the Xiao royal family is also sad. The first ancestor had seven sons and three daughters. Two sons died during the fight for the world, and the remaining five sons, except for Emperor Taiping and King Fu, the remaining three all died in the struggle for succession. .At that time, King Fu had already left the town, and his background was not high enough, so the world fell into the hands of Emperor Taiping for nothing.As for Emperor Taiping's four sons, Zhong Shao killed one by mistake, Xiao Qian killed one, and Princess Dachang killed another...
Letting out a sigh of relief, Zhong Shao didn't think about King An who might have died in Beijing, and asked again: "Then what was A Niang's original plan?"
It has come to this point now, and there is nothing to hide. The eldest princess said indifferently: "At least [-]% of the imperial court belong to me, and [-]% are neutral or dispersed, and Xiao Qian only accounts for [-]%. Now that something happened to me, it won’t be easy for him to recover. Last night was so violent, Anyang is going to be chaotic, since Anyang is going to be chaotic, this world might as well be chaotic.”
Zhong Shao understood that the eldest princess must have left behind in the court. Since she is not dead, the princess line will not be leaderless.Besides, she probably didn't intend to join forces with any feudal lord at first, but planned to make waves and attack them——Xiao Qian abdicated, Xiao Yi died, and Emperor Taiping had no heirs to inherit the throne. Although the king is not a direct descendant, they all have the right to fight for it.
If the world is in chaos, if the eldest princess wants to take the lead in this chaos, she must have military power in her hands, even enough military power to suppress those vassal kings!I just don't know which military camp she has placed in?
For a moment, Zhong Shao thought a lot, but he didn't intend to ask any more questions. After all, the Eldest Princess is fine now, and all future decisions will come from her mouth.What is more important right now is something else: "Since A Niang has already made plans, we will naturally obey you. I don't know where you want to go after you leave Beijing?"
But after just saying these few words, the Eldest Princess became a little tired again.She closed her eyes and leaned gently on the Concubine Gui, she seemed weak, but her tone was still steady: "Go to Mianzhou."
Zhong Shao raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard the words, is this going to join forces with King Fu?
It is said that they are all ancestral bloodlines. King Fu's background is not comparable to that of Princess Dachang, but he is a man, so he seems to have an advantage naturally... But Princess Dachang is still proud after all. She seems to be sure that King Fu will not be her opponent.
Having said that, it is almost the same, the goal is clear, the next thing they have to do is to avoid Xiao Qian's pursuit, and then rush all the way to Mianzhou.It's not easy to think about it, but even the dangerous situation like last night has been passed, why should I be afraid of chasing and killing?
Seeing the tired and weak face of the Eldest Princess, Zhong Shao didn't intend to bother her anymore, but he had to discuss with Wu Changjun and the others about the journey.However, before she could say goodbye in the future, she heard Gui Doufei say: "Okay, Yingyang is tired too, Ah Shao, don't disturb her rest anymore, what should you do?"
Looking at the gentleness and consideration of the noble concubine when she faced the eldest princess, and seeing her merciless treatment of herself, it is simply... heartbreaking!
Inexplicably depressed, Zhong Shao was about to obediently get out of the car to look for Wu Changjun, but the eldest princess said again: "Ah Shao, wait a minute."
Zhong Shao turned his head when he heard the sound, and saw the Eldest Princess opened his eyes again, so he asked, "Aniang, what else do you want?"
However, Princess Dachang took out a small bag from nowhere and handed it to Zhong Shao. Zhong Shao opened it and saw that there were three neatly stacked letters inside. The titles of the three vassal kings were written on the envelopes: "These three letters, please send someone out."
Zhong Shao can guess the general content of the letter without reading it, and looking at the actions of the Eldest Princess, I am afraid that the letter has been written long ago, and he is just waiting for today.She didn't say much, just agreed: "Don't worry, Madam, I'll send someone out."
After saying this, Zhong Shao didn't delay in the carriage any longer, turned around and told the coachman to stop, then opened the door and went out.
As soon as Zhong Shao left, the Concubine Gui said to the Eldest Princess: "Okay, I have given all the orders that should be ordered, and you can also rest at ease. Seeing this weak appearance is really not pleasing to the eye."
The eldest princess is arrogant and flamboyant, but also dignified and calm. Now that she looks sickly, the noble concubine can be said to be quite displeasing to the eye... Well, it actually looks quite distressing. Shao said it was a matter of business, and she had driven him away long ago.
Maybe she was really sleepy, the eldest princess obediently closed her eyes, but said: "Put me down and rest yourself."
Until now, the noble concubine was also half-embracing the eldest princess. It seems that since she was injured last night, this has been the normal state of the two of them.It's just that at this moment Zhong Shao got off the carriage and left, but Su Mo stayed in the carriage. The Eldest Princess was afraid that the Concubine Gui would be too detached, so she opened her mouth to remind her.
Unexpectedly, the noble concubine was displeased when she heard the words, and she didn't intend to let go, she said: "This carriage is so bumpy, you have an injury on your back, if I let you lie down and break the wound again, wouldn't the gain outweigh the loss? Don't worry, I can rest with my arms around you, and feel more at ease."
This seems to be a bit too much, a bit blatant...
The Eldest Princess couldn't help opening her eyes and looking up at her daughter, only to find that Su Mo was standing alone, looking at her heart, not knowing what she was thinking.But how could the daughter I raised didn't know that Su Mo looked like this, maybe he noticed something?
Thinking of this, the eldest princess couldn't help being upset for a while, and then looked at the person hugging her, but felt helpless for a while.
The author has something to say:
The eldest princess (irritated): At such an age, do you still have to come out to your daughter?No, I haven't decided whether I want to be hooked up yet, why do I feel guilty first? !
