Cannot attack objects

Chapter 177

On the first day back to Beijing, the ministers had been arguing in the Xuande Palace over the issue of the ownership of the throne until the key was about to be released at the palace gate, and then reluctantly dispersed and went home.However, this dispute is actually very ridiculous, because the opposition opposes the empress's coming to court, but at the same time they can't find another candidate for the throne, so Zhong Shao and the others are not worried about the final result of this dispute at all.

The group left the capital for a long time, and when they returned to the former princess mansion, they found that the rich mansion with carved beams and painted buildings is now deserted.It wasn't even Huang, but because of the fighting and fighting that night, the mansion looked a bit dilapidated.

In short, the former princess mansion is now uninhabitable.

The eldest princess stood in front of her mansion, looking at the dilapidated mansion gate, recalling the splendor and bustle of the past, as well as the bloody and dangerous night, she was filled with emotion.

Concubine Gui didn't follow the crowd into the palace at all today, because the palace is currently undergoing a funeral, life must be difficult, she doesn't want to mourn for Emperor Jing Yuan.Besides, the Eldest Princess has not ascended the throne yet, so she will not be so stupid as to go to the palace and wait for a while. I'm afraid I even want to die.

At this moment she was standing beside the eldest princess, seeing the eldest princess staring at the dilapidated mansion gate in a daze, she knew that she was probably in a bad mood, so she took two steps forward and took her hand and said, "Ying Yang, it’s okay, it’s just a mansion, you don’t plan to live here in the future, let people repair it slowly in the future.”

The eldest princess came back to her senses, and when she turned her head to look at the imperial concubine, she pursed her lips and managed to calm down, but finally she sighed: "There were [-] soldiers in my princess mansion back then, they were born and died for me, Up to now, there are less than a hundred people left.”

The ruined mansion can be repaired, but those who died will never come back.The soldiers in the Princess Mansion were selected one by one by the Eldest Princess, and she could name almost every one of them, but it was a pity that almost all of them were included because of Xiao Qian's lore.Then they fled all the way, and there were countless casualties. Even the Habayashi general Chen Mao who once opened the Chunming Gate for them died on the way to protect the imperial concubine.The future that Zhong Shao promised was nothing more than empty talk to them.

The eldest princess is a cruel person, she can disturb the general situation of the world for the sake of power struggle, this turmoil should kill and injure hundreds of thousands of soldiers.But the eldest princess is also a person who values ​​affection, and she wants to cherish everyone around her.

The noble concubine was silent for a while, but before she could figure out how to comfort the eldest princess, the eldest princess had already calmed down and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this. Now this mansion is so dilapidated , obviously there is no room for people, we have to find another place to stay today.”

There were more than a hundred people in this group, apart from the righteous masters like the eldest princess, the hundred soldiers also came along with them.Now that the Princess Mansion is deserted, it's not easy for them and their group to find a place to stay. After all, they can't stay in a hotel after returning to Beijing as the Eldest Princess, right?Originally, he might still be able to stay in Fu Wang's Mansion for a while, but it is obviously not suitable to go again after being disturbed by those two young masters today.

He Ming's eyes lit up as soon as he heard it, and he immediately vowed: "My He family also has some property in Beijing, if His Highness does not abandon it..." However, before He Ming could finish speaking, someone interrupted, the voice came from behind everyone It came: "Princess, why don't you come to my house to live temporarily."

The voice sounded familiar. When Zhong Shao looked back, he saw that Su Han had followed him at some point. He was standing beside a carriage and looking at the Eldest Princess earnestly...

Seeing this situation, Zhong Shao only felt that the whole person was going to be bad, she quickly turned her head to look at the three people beside her.The Eldest Princess looked pale, obviously she didn't want to pay attention to Su Han, Su Mo's expression was slightly stiff, presumably he didn't know how to face his father.However, the most obvious reaction was the Concubine Gui. She took a step forward and quietly blocked the Eldest Princess behind her. She looked at Su Han with obvious hostility.

Zhong Shao felt that her mother's hostility was too obvious, it was Sima Zhao's heart.

However, Su Han didn't react at all. He obviously saw the actions of the Concubine Gui, and even saw the hostility in her eyes, but he seemed to be used to this situation, and he had no doubts at all.Even seeing the Grand Concubine, he cupped his hands and bowed to the Grand Concubine, saying: "Mr. Jing Su Han, I have seen the Grand Concubine."

The Concubine Gui's face was cold, she raised her chin slightly, and raised her posture very high: "There is no need to be too polite, Duke Jing, please come back. Although the Princess Mansion is broken, we have our own place to go." After saying this, She shifted her gaze to He Ming, obviously planning to leave with him.

He Ming was very happy. He didn't have much time to attack Zhong Shao, and he would naturally not let it go if he had a chance to please and behave.It was also thanks to the unreliable behavior of Xiao Wenxuan's two elder brothers today, she followed her father and went directly back to the Fuwang Mansion in the capital, otherwise at this moment, she would definitely have to pull these people back again, and by the way, she would not be able to increase her favorability.

That's right, another goodwill increase, when they stepped out of the palace today, these raiders finally "severely" increased their goodwill.The increase in favorability varies from person to person, but He Ming knows that Xiao Wenxuan obviously earned a lot of favorability by "selling her father" this time. He almost hugged Zhong Shao and kissed him hard.

At that time, He Ming also noticed that the faces of the two sons of Prince Fu's Mansion turned green. They obviously didn't understand why their sister was so excited and happy when their Prince Fu's Mansion lost their throne.But at that time everyone hadn't separated yet, Xiao Chengyi and the others didn't say anything after all.

Memories gathered, He Ming immediately said after receiving the concubine's gaze: "My family has a house in Mingdefang, it is not a problem to settle in. I have sent someone to spread the news before, if His Highness does not give up , you can follow me down to settle down."

Su Han frowned when he heard this, but he has always liked poetry and books, and he usually made friends with literati, but he was not familiar with merchants like He Ming.He didn't know He Ming, and seeing that He Ming was acting neither humble nor overbearing, he wasn't sure what the identity of the other party was, so he didn't open his mouth to make trouble, but just cast his eyes on the eldest princess, and shouted again: "Princess..."

The Eldest Princess pondered for a moment, then said: "Ah Shao, you lead everyone to live with Mr. He to Mingde Square temporarily, and I will go to the Duke's Mansion with Mr. Jing." After she finished speaking, she looked at Su Mo, hesitating After a while, she was not asked to go with him.

As soon as the words fell, Su Han's face suddenly showed a little joy, and he didn't notice that the Eldest Princess called him Jing Guogong who was alienated.However, the noble concubine frowned when she heard the words, and could hardly bear to explode on the spot.Fortunately, Zhong Shao's eyes were quick and his hands were quick, so he pulled him back, and then Su Mo said: "Father, Aunt, let me go with you."

This is a family of three, and it seems natural to go back to the Duke's mansion together. Others don't notice the difference, but the imperial concubine seems to have understood something. A little light.

Seeing that the Concubine Gui seemed to have understood, Zhong Shao also let go of the holding hand, and said to the Eldest Princess: "Don't worry, Auntie, we will arrange it properly, you can just deal with your own affairs."

Princess Zhong Shao was relieved to hand over some trivial matters, so she nodded, and then she glanced at Su Mo, with a little helplessness in her eyes, and said, "Mo'er is going, let's go together. "

After saying this, the Eldest Princess walked towards Su Han, followed by Su Mo.But as soon as she took a step, Zhong Shao grabbed her wrist first, and she whispered in her ear: "The matter has come to this, don't be sad, in fact, it will not be good for anyone if this drags on."

Su Mo paused, then nodded and said softly, "I understand."

After exhorting Zhong Shao, he let go of his hand. Su Mo was in a bad mood, so he didn't want to say more after saying this sentence.She stepped up to catch up with the eldest princess in front, and then the family of three divided into two carriages and drove away slowly, followed by twenty or so soldiers.

When the back of the carriage finally disappeared at the corner of the street, Zhong Shao looked up at the sky and said, "It's getting late, and everyone has worked hard all day today, so let's settle down earlier." She said and looked at the sky. He Ming.

He Ming immediately smiled and said, "Okay, everyone, come with me. The house should have prepared good wine and food at this moment. It's been a hard work for nearly a year, and now that we're back in the capital, everyone can relax."

After saying this, He Ming immediately got on his horse and led the way, and then nearly a hundred armored soldiers followed behind him. Those who didn't know the battle and the momentum thought that these soldiers belonged to him. As for the guards, they looked extremely dignified.

The imperial concubine did not ride a horse, but she boarded a carriage. Not only did she ride herself, but she also pulled Zhong Shao into it.I really have something to say, but apart from Zhong Shao, there is no suitable audience.

No, as soon as the carriage left, the noble concubine asked, "Ah Shao, do you think Ying Yang's trip will be able to fulfill her wish?"

The marriage between the royal family and the aristocratic family is not a matter of one person and one family.Back then, when the eldest princess gave birth to Su Mo, there was a reconciliation and divorce, and there was a lot of quarrels, but the result was procrastination. Naturally, there was also the factor of the ancestor's death, but it undoubtedly showed such a marriage. After that, reconciliation was not easy.What's more, the status of the eldest princess is not what it used to be, and the Su family may not easily compromise.

When Zhong Shao heard the words, he felt that the Concubine Gui was concerned and would cause chaos, so she persuaded: "Don't worry, A Niang, this matter is not difficult." Seeing Concubine Gui glaring at her, he said: "It's not easy to make peace. At worst, Hugh is."

The imperial concubine's eyes lit up immediately, and those beautiful eyes looked at her daughter with sparkle: "Husband?!"

Zhong Shao raised his eyebrows, lowered his voice a little, and said, "For Your Highness, the throne is at your fingertips, so what if you write a letter of divorce? I still don't believe that the Su family really dare to tear themselves apart."

Unexpectedly, the imperial concubine thought carefully after she was excited, and she frowned: "Although that is the case, I am afraid that the timing is not appropriate. There is no final decision on the matter of the throne, and it is enough to offend the Duke of Jing. Hurry up, it might ruin Ying Yang's reputation."

What he said was quite reasonable, so Zhong Shao also felt that it was a little too hasty for the eldest princess to have a showdown with Su Han today.But after hearing this, she looked at the Concubine Gui in surprise—her family's lawless mother, there is still a time when she is so careful and considerate? !She thought that the eldest princess would be so anxious, it was her mother who instigated it!

The imperial concubine saw Zhong Shao's thoughts at a glance, and immediately glared and said, "What kind of eyes do you have? Do you really think your mother is the kind of person who can't tell the priorities?"

Zhong Shao shrank his neck from the stare, lowered his head and did not speak.In fact, she just felt that her mother was often unreliable, so she was really not used to being so serious all of a sudden!

The author has something to say:

Concubine Gui (glaring): Who is unreliable? !Didn't it just trick you a few times?Who told you to be your own.

Zhong Shao (...): I suddenly feel that the word "professional" is really hard to describe.
