Talk about lovesickness late at night

"Ten princes, go and practice swords. Don't think that your master is not at home, you are lazy, go quickly. Your master will be back in two days. If you fail to improve, be careful, he will beat you." Queen bluff him.

"No way, Master never hits me."

"Then are you afraid of him yelling?"

The tenth prince drooped his head, hurriedly went to the palace to get his special little sword and came out to practice.

Seeing how well he practiced, the queen's face was full of smiles, Xiao Xuanyu sneered, "I've been practicing with General Xiao for two years, right? Is this how he taught?"

"What do you mean?" The queen was slightly displeased, and the tenth prince was practicing in the distance, so naturally he couldn't hear him.

"Xiao Junyi's swordsmanship is notoriously good, and that's why the empress chose him as the master of the tenth prince. But, don't you think he didn't put his heart into teaching him? Otherwise, with the tenth prince's aptitude, Shouldn't it be possible to practice like this?"

"Don't sow discord here, General Xiao is already teaching with great care."

"The queen means that my tenth brother's aptitude is not good enough to learn?"

"You..." The empress looked sullen, trying to calm herself down, "You didn't come here just to watch the Tenth Prince practice swords, did you?"

"Of course not." Xiao Xuanyu said, "Xiao Junyi is going back."

"Yeah, just ask yourself how lucky you are!"

"The empress is wrong, you are the one who should ask for more blessings."

Xiao Xuanyu's light words made the queen's heart pound, "You tell me clearly!"

"What kind of people are we? We know each other so well, so we simply opened the window to speak out. Do you think it was because of Xiangyun that Xiao Junyi supported the tenth prince back then? Do you think that Xiangyun can make him lose his head? Can't tell the difference between southeast and north? You are wrong, Empress, you thought you used Xiao Junyi, but you don't know, he used you."

The queen was terrified, but she pretended to be calm, "You can't eat grapes and say the grapes are sour. Didn't it mean that General Xiao broke up with you and became the master of the tenth prince, and you feel angry and unbalanced. Now it's just an accident Ji, do you think I will listen to your nonsense?"

"It's up to you whether the queen believes it or not, but if you really make a wedding dress for someone else, you will have to cry." Xiao Xuanyu said, wanting to leave, the queen was always uneasy, especially since Xiao Junyi became more and more disobedient, she was busy Said, "My lord, sit down and talk slowly if you have something to say. Come and have some tea."

As he spoke, he found a place to drink tea in the corner of the courtyard. After the maid served the tea, she stepped back respectfully.

The queen was not in the mood to drink tea, and Xiao Xuanyu started to drink it. After a while, the queen lost her temper, "What do you mean by what you said just now? What are you using?"

"Did you forget how his father died?" Xiao Xuanyu asked.

The queen wondered, "He died in battle!"

"Although he died in battle, the people in the palace talked a lot, and these things changed from east to west. I don't know how much Xiao Junyi listened to it. If you really want to believe it, then Queen, what do you think?" He still sincerely wants to help the Tenth Prince ascend the throne. Doesn't he want a little puppet emperor so that he can replace him?"

"Impossible!" The queen was taken aback.

"Nothing is impossible in this world. At the beginning, Xiao Junyi and I were as close as brothers. Now, he wants to kill me, and I want to kill him. Where is the old friendship? Everyone changes, nothing remains the same "Xiao Xuanyu took a sip of tea casually, and glanced at the tenth prince, "At any rate, the tenth prince and I are still brothers, even if there are minor opinions and disputes on weekdays, we will not kill brothers. No one else has seen it, the queen herself Weigh it carefully."

The queen's heart was in turmoil, no wonder Xiao Junyi was disobedient.It turned out that he didn't want to be obedient at all, but wanted her to be obedient.The more she thought about it, the more angry she became, the queen drank a big mouthful of tea, the fragrance couldn't suppress the boredom in her heart.

However, after thinking about it, this was too much of a scheming, although she was in a turmoil, she would not act in a daze.

"Thank you for reminding me, my lord. I believe that my lord has a kind heart, so I won't treat the tenth prince badly. Even the emperor praised you for your benevolence. With a brother like you around, I can rest assured about the tenth prince's future." Yes. As for what you said just now, it is really too much to worry about. General Xiao is loyal to the imperial court, and he is dedicated to the Tenth Prince. I really don’t want the prince to listen to slander and misunderstand the general.”

Xiao Xuanyu laughed, "The empress really has a kind heart. She was deceived by others, so she speaks kind words for others. I don't know if you know, what kind of reward will Xiao Junyi get when he returns to Beijing?"

The queen looked up, looking very interested.

"Yizi!" Xiao Xuanyu spit out these two words in a neutral manner.

The queen didn't quite understand, "What?"

"Father, the emperor wants to adopt Xiao Junyi as his son. Even the surname is the same. Adopting the son will save a lot of trouble. If he treats the tenth brother sincerely, everything is fine. If he didn't mean it, then But, hehe..."

Originally, the queen broke up with Xiao Junyi because of poisoning Wushuang, but now that these remarks made her feel uneasy, she couldn't help but ask, "Where did you hear that? "

"Of course the father told others, otherwise how could it be leaked out? In the future, this Xiao Junyi will also be the prince, and the minister here will first congratulate the mother and then have another son." Although it is not the empress's own, but other As the mother of a country, it is right to respect the queen mother, but although the harem is strictly hierarchical, it is generally not in harmony, so they often call each other titles. This is the first time Xiao Xuanyu calls her "mother queen", and the queen feels more and more uneasy.

The queen's face was disturbed and she didn't speak. Xiao Xuanyu observed carefully, knowing that she was not mentally strong, and he was not in a hurry, so he drank tea slowly, waiting for her to lose her footing.

After a while, the empress couldn't sit still, "Can you take Xiao Junyi seriously?"

As long as he is on the side of the prince, let alone the adopted son, many nephews and relatives are eyeing the throne, not to mention that he is the emperor's favorite general.

The queen was very disturbed, but she only had one tenth prince.Originally, Xiao Junyi was expected to help him, but Xiao Junyi's wings were hardened, and he became more and more difficult to discipline. In addition, after winning the battle this time, his tail was still not up to the sky, so how could he take her seriously.

"It's absolutely true! If the empress doesn't believe it, she can wait until the day of the celebration banquet and hear what the emperor said with her own ears. But if you wait until that day, I'm afraid it will be too late. If it's true, Xiao Junyi will arrive in the outskirts of the capital soon. All the way back to Beijing.” Xiao Xuanyu frowned slightly, “Originally Xiao Junyi was a minister and a servant of the tenth brother, but now that he’s back, everything is different. Xuanyu also came to remind the queen that we are My family, don’t let Xuan Yu feel unbearable when you suffer from outsiders. I’m just passing by, and I’m leaving the palace now.”

The Empress was still a little dazed, and asked someone to send Xiao Xuanyu out, feeling a mess in her heart.He hurriedly found his family, who was only an official in the court, and explained the matter in detail. In the end, it was wrong to do it, and it was wrong not to do it.

Xiao Xuanyu obviously used her as a saber, the queen knew it well, but even so, she had no choice.If Xiao Junyi really has a different heart, it would be too scary to keep it.If it's just a rumor, if she killed a good general by mistake, she would...

The queen was in a dilemma, she turned her head to glance at the tenth prince practicing sword, and suddenly saw him practice stabbing sword, piercing two oranges at once, she immediately had an idea.

The border war took two months.

Most of the troops will stay on the border for the time being, and will withdraw to Kyoto after reinforcements from all sides.

The main general Xiao Junyi and the deputy Chen Nan returned to the capital with some troops to return to their orders.

At this moment, a group of people were riding horses all the way from the border to the capital, and the faces of the soldiers were full of joy of returning to the court in victory.

Xiao Junyi and Chen Nan rode at the front, followed by a carriage and a small number of soldiers.There was only one box in the carriage, but no one knew what was in that box.

When he reached the crossroads outside the boundaries of Kyoto, Xiao Junyi suddenly reined in his horse and stopped.I saw him staring at the front, with an expression of concentrating on something.

After a long time, the horse got tired of waiting, and began to dig the dust on the ground restlessly with its hooves.

Chen Nan turned his head and asked, "General, why don't you leave? We will soon arrive at the capital, why don't you hurry up and stop instead?"

"The news sent back to Beijing is to go east?"

"That's right, I think there are already welcoming officials waiting at Dongchengkou!"

"But, don't you think this journey is peaceful? Our route back to Beijing has already been cleared. I'm afraid there are not only officials to welcome us at Dongchengkou, but also..."

Xiao Junyi frowned, didn't say anything later, just fell silent.Chen Nanzi's heart was like a mirror, "Then let's not go east, let's go west."

"No. We think this way, and some people will think that we will think this way, so the west road is more dangerous than the east road."

"Then...or the east road, the most dangerous place is the safest, we can't retreat!"

"Just retreat!" Xiao Junyi reined in his horse and turned around, Chen Nan was very surprised, "Really retreat, why don't you go back to Beijing?"

"Go back, of course! Let's go back, take the water route, and return to Beijing from the south, which happens to lead directly to the barracks!"

Chen Nan shouted a good idea, and hurriedly gathered everyone to turn around and go to the south.However, it was really unpredictable, the ship was about to dock, Xiao Junyi signaled to stop.It is less than a foot away from the river bank.

"What's the matter?" Chen Nan raised his vigilance.

Xiao Junyi looked ahead, there was no wind in the sky, but the haystack on the opposite side was actually moving, he whispered, "There is someone."

Chen Nan held his breath and focused his attention. He really had to defend against the enemy externally and "defend against thieves" internally. He was exhausted.

Xiao Junyi picked it up behind him and made a gesture. The rest of the soldiers understood what he meant and were on alert.Seeing that the grass on the bank moved again, Xiao Junyi secretly threw a dart, and someone answered to the end.

"Lie!" Xiao Junyi yelled loudly, and the arrows from the opposite side shot towards him like raindrops, but the ship was so tall that it surrounded the soldiers, so they couldn't shoot at all.

After shooting for a while, it was found that it was useless. The man in black flew over, and after a while, he stood on the edge of the boat, causing uneven force on the boat and it began to shake.

It's really easy to hide with open guns, but hard to guard against hidden arrows. How did you know that there are ambushes here? !

"General!"
