Yuan Cixian couldn't recover. After this resounded in her head three times, she turned over and put on her clothes and got off the bed, and moved her door: "What's the matter?"
Picking the branches with a solemn expression: "The queen and the thirteenth prince were robbed out of the palace one after another."
She tightened her hand on the door frame, and she was so angry that she said nothing: "Are those people in the palace dead? Please make it clearer."
"It was Xue Cairen. Xue Cairen made trouble, causing the queen to be captured. Then, the Thirteenth Prince disappeared."
Yuan Cixian's whole body stiffened and her heart suddenly sank into the bottom of the valley.
She knew the real reason why Xiju provoked rumors.
Since Xiju can learn from Shaohe where Xu's secret passage is, he must also know who he would eventually ascend the throne in his previous life. Emperor Huining is dead, and what he wants now is nothing more than the life of the future heir of the Great Zhou Dynasty. There are two possibilities for heirs, one is Zheng Zhuo, who judges according to the situation, and the other is Zheng Hong, who learned from Shaohe.
Zheng Zhuo is not easy to get close to, so Seiju should start with Zheng Hong, but Lu Shiqing has also made arrangements for the Daming Palace and protected Zheng Hong. It is very difficult for him to succeed, but at least he cannot do it.
Therefore, he used a plan to accurately identify the only loophole in the Daming Palace, a loophole that Lu Shiqing and Zheng Zhuo had never set up, that is, the latter's biological mother Xue Cairen. They might protect Xue Cairen's safety, but they never thought of guarding against her actions.
Xiju released rumors to achieve two goals: First, the old emperor sent the queen, who was the lord of the harem, to put Xue Cairen under house arrest, provoking the first layer of conflict between the two women; second, Zheng Zhuo was asked to eliminate the old emperor in advance, and there was no new king in the country. In the chaos in the palace, the queen would take the initiative to preside over the court officials to discuss who would inherit the throne, so that the second layer of conflict between them was provoked.
Xue Cairen has been unpopular for so many years. He watched Zheng Zhuo be suppressed and bullied since childhood and could not do anything for him. Now that the situation is critical and his son has not returned to the court, he must be anxious. At this time, if someone encourages her and tells her to get rid of the queen, she may suppress the controversy in the court, and she may really give it a try.
Why did the Thirteenth Prince suffer after the empress was captured?
Because Shaohe is also a key link.
At this moment, Yuan Cixian thought that Shaohe should not betrayed the Great Zhou because of his original intention. Perhaps he had used severe punishment, or perhaps he used potion. Xiju asked for some information from her mouth, but he could not make her willing to cooperate. So he kidnapped her mother and threatened her to exchange it with the Thirteenth Prince.
In Nanzhao, the only one who can take away the Thirteenth Prince quietly was Shaohe. For her, she just had to sneak into the Daming Palace and didn't even have to move. Just a few words of kindness can make her call her young, young, and a little bit of acquaintance, and trust her sister.
Then, the defense of the palace is likely to be useless.
As for why Shaohe sacrificed his younger brother to save his mother, Yuan Cixian thought there might be two reasons. First, this younger brother is half-brother after all, and is different from his biological mother. Secondly, she knew that Xiju would not kill his younger brother directly, but would use his younger brother to lead Zheng Zhuo out. With Zheng Zhuo coming out, the younger brother would probably eventually be safe and continue his fate in his previous life and successfully ascend the throne.
But Yuan Cixian was afraid of this fate. Because if Zheng Zhuoan was fine, it would be unreasonable that Zheng Hong would ascend the throne.
She figured out these things and suddenly asked: "Have the Sixth Prince returned to Beijing successfully?"
Picking branches and shaking your head.
She walked back and forth twice, calmed down and said, "No matter whether I can rush to help or not, I can't sit still and wait for death. I can ask someone to go back to Dazhou with me."
After she finished speaking, she saw that the father was hurried behind Zhuzhi. Perhaps she had received the news and said to her: "Dad brings people there."
Yuan Cixian shook her head and reasoned: "You are still staying in the Uighurs to shock the Turks. The battle with the Turks is a head-on battle, and I can't use my strength here, but over the years, I have learned about the Seju and are still somewhat sure of dealing with him. What's more, the saint died and the court was in chaos. No one has the energy to pay attention to our Yuan family at the moment. I will have a lot of resistance when I go back, so don't worry."
Yuan Yizhi knew that his daughter was right, the country was ahead and the family was behind. At this time, there was no selfish reason. He gritted his teeth and said, "My father sent troops to escort you, and then asked your brother to go with you. Your brother and sister should take care of each other, be careful."
Yuan Cixian nodded, quickly put on her clothes, and took people out of the Uighur border overnight.
She said, but one day, there was a place where she used her skills in the four territory, even if she was far away from all over the world, nine heavens and eight hills, she went.
*
Yuan Cixian changed her clothes and headed south, successfully taking the shortest shortcut.
At first she was wondering why the tactics of avoiding border searches were not useful at all. After entering the country, she learned that the country could not be without a king for a day. The empress and the thirteenth prince were successively captured. The dispute in the court was suppressed. Zheng Zhuo and his group of officials had successfully entrusted him to the throne and stabilized the situation in the capital, waiting for him to ascend the throne after he returned. At the same time, these court officials who had worked with Lu Shiqing for many years and knew the inside story also made a fake death for the Yuan and Lu families, and withdrew the wanted orders from the Zhou Dynasty.
Zheng Zhuo was only the last step away from being the legitimate emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but Yuan Cixian didn't feel at all. Especially after confirming with the capital that he had not returned to Chang'an and had been missing for a whole day and night, he felt even more uneasy. According to the itinerary, he should have entered Beijing, and there was only one possibility at present, so Xiju used Zheng Hong to lure him back.
The officials under his command did not dare to say that the news would spread, so as not to cause chaos in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Several ministers with ulterior motives in the court usurped their surnames, saying that he would deal with some things halfway and would return to the capital soon.
But Yuan Cixian knew that this matter could not be hidden for too long, and the people in the court would soon realize that something was wrong and had some associations. She had to find Zheng Zhuo and Zheng Hong as soon as possible to stabilize the situation in the Great Zhou.
And the people who were looking for them were obviously not the only ones who were looking for them.
Three days later, she entered Jiannan Road while investigating everywhere and met Chen Zhan, a close confidant beside Zheng Zhuo.
This is not a good sign. When Zheng Zhuo went south and pretended to pursue Lu Shiqing, Chen Zhan should have been by his side.
Sure enough, when the young man saw her and Yuan Yu, he had no time to ask about it unexpectedly and inquire. Chen Zhan said that as early as when Zheng Zhuo was ordered to return to the capital by the saint, his military power was taken back. The army that had originally left the capital with him was on standby on the spot due to the saint's order and suspended all actions. So only a group of confidants were left beside him.
On the night when His Thirteenth Highness was robbed, Zheng Zhuo received news. He found that the other party's route of accusation happened to pass by him, so he quickly turned around and chased him. At first, the followers followed him to chase him, but after several waves of assassins, they suffered heavy casualties and many of them were broken up. , fewer and fewer people were in the face of the enemy. In order to help him escape, they lost contact with him.
Zheng Zhuo would not be chasing people in vain. He should have found a way to send the news to the capital, but he might have been intercepted by the other party. So now, Chen Zhan and the people from the capital can only look for him all over the world based on the marks he left in the wild.
Yuan Cixian found out the situation, confirmed the mark with him, and asked him to send troops to divide the troops into several groups. After making overall arrangements, he personally chased the south.
There is a reason to choose the south side.
In the past few days, she has also been paying attention to the news about Shi Cui and Cao An, and learned that the two of them had successfully misled Xiju with the help of Dazhou, tempted him to go north in person, and led people to chase them in their direction.
Now, she only needs to use the route of Shi Cui and Cao An to lure the enemy to find the place of Sei Home. Once she finds him, she is not afraid of no news about Zheng Zhuo and Zheng Hong. This is an insurance method to start construction on both sides.
Two days later, late at night, Yuan Cixian fell near Shiyu River in the east of Shuzhou, intending to ask everyone to rest in the middle of the night before going back on the road again. Unexpectedly, after half an hour of eyes, he was awakened by the news brought by Chen Zhan.
In the past two days, whenever there was a rest time, Yuan Cixian ordered everyone to take turns to rest and dispatch a team of people to search nearby, so as not to let go of any information. Chen Zhan brought back the whereabouts of Zheng Zhuo: he found a mark in the woods across the river.
Yuan Cixian finally felt a glimmer of hope when she got the news. At least until then, Zheng Zhuo was still safe, and because of his safety, Zheng Hong should be fine.
She immediately formed a team and ordered everyone to search for the woods. Then she found several marks, and went through Shuzhou and entered Qiongzhou overnight, and lost the message near Tongguan Mountain.
The clouds broke and the sun rose, and the sky was bright. Everyone was sweating profusely, half because of the heat, and half out of anxiety, for fear of running all the way but missed Zheng Zhuo again. Chen Zhan was at the foot of the mountain and asked Yuan Cixian where to chase him next.
Yuan Cixian frowned, picked a tree branch and painted it on the mud. After thinking for a while, she was about to point to the east, and suddenly she paused.
Chen Zhan wanted to ask what was wrong, but just opened his mouth, but he understood the truth - the sound of horse hooves came from the east, it was a human being.
If he was a person, he would be unlikely to be an enemy. He was ecstatic and looked at Yuan Cixian, who was stiff due to tension. Everyone was holding the hilt of the knife in his hands, clenched it nervously and then loosened it, then clenched it again and again.
In the past five days, I have followed and missed it again and again, and everyone has reached the end of their strength, not their body, but their hearts are getting colder.
What they were looking for was not only Zheng Zhuo, but also the hope of Dazhou.
And now, this voice made everyone come back to life, but they were afraid that it would be a bubble like all the marks along the way.
The sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer, and everyone was holding their breath until the end of the wilderness. A figure of a black armor appeared on the horizon. He jumped up in the morning sun and galloped all the way. Under the grass and dust, the black crown tassels between his hair were pulled straight with the wind, like a flag.
The string in Yuan Cixian's head that had been broken for several days suddenly relaxed. At the same time, her legs became weak and her whole body felt as if she had been sucked clean. Fortunately, she supported the tree branch and stabilized herself.
When they saw clearly that it was Zheng Zhuo, and he was still holding the young Zheng Hong in his arms. Everyone was excited for a moment and even forgot to go to greet him. They just stared blankly like a group of fools, waiting for him to approach.
Yuan Cixian reacted first, let out a long sigh, and smiled, "What are you doing while standing there? Why don't you go and pick it up..."
Before she could finish her words, a horse neighed from afar, followed by a loud "bang".
Everyone's smiles were stagnant. When they saw that Zheng Zhuo was out of strength, he accidentally fell off the horse and ran up in anger.
But Yuan Cixian stopped moving like a stone carving. She seemed to see the person who was caught, and a heavy arrow was inserted into the back.
Suddenly, she seemed to be unable to hear anything, and then, in the next moment, countless people's screams and noises poured into her ears.
She clearly distinguished Zheng Hong's voice, and he was crying and shouting "Sixth Brother".
Yuan Cixian's hand trembled and ran away wildly.
When Zheng Zhuo arrived, she saw his injury clearly at a glance. The heavy arrow shot into the back of the heart, reaching the vital position, and the flesh around the wound seemed to have turned black and necrotic. From the color, it was at least three hours.
In such a deadly position, he should have died when he was shot, but he miraculously lasted for three hours and was hit by it. It was not until he saw her and Yuan Yu that he knew that Zheng Hong was safe, so he was lazy and fell off his horse.
This arrow, coupled with three hours of strong support, has become useless.
Yuan Cixian was stunned and disappeared without any movement.
Zheng Zhuo struggled to raise one arm on his side, but turned to Zheng Hong without looking at her, and gasped, "...What are you crying for a real man?"
Zheng Hong tried hard to wipe his tears, but he wiped more and more. The six-year-old child could see the situation clearly and said with a choking breath: "Sixth brother, don't die, don't die... I, I haven't finished martial arts with you yet. You said last time that we're going to make an appointment to have a fight together..."
Zheng Zhuo's face soon fell down after being dismissed. He smiled and said, "The Sixth Brother is not dead, but he may not be able to fight with you for the time being, nor can he return to Beijing. You promised the Sixth Brother to help the Sixth Brother take charge of the court for a few years, and wait..." He coughed and vomited a mouthful of bright red blood.
"Zheng Zhuo..." Yuan Cixian squatted down violently, grabbed his hand, and looked at the temperature of his palm.
After she called him, he was speechless again. Zheng Zhuo turned his head and looked at her. He knew that he could not hold on anymore and could not say more roundabout words to the child. He told Zheng Hong: "Let me listen to Mr. Lu and the county lord in the future."
Then he looked at Yuan Cixian again and smiled bitterly: "Da Zhou... can only be handed over to you."
Dazhou, I can only leave it to you.
This sentence is almost exactly the same as in a dream.
Yuan Cixian's eyes were hot, and tears were pouring like a spring, as if she had failed to save Zheng Zhuo's fate, and as if she had let Lu Shiqing down. She nodded desperately: "Don't worry, don't worry... No one can bully Hong'er, and no one can invade the Great Zhou. For ten or twenty years, I will guard it, we will guard it..."
Zheng Zhuo tried hard to laugh: "Don't cry, he got it, it's time to be jealous again..."
Yuan Cixian choked, tears were getting more and more, and she kept shaking her head, but she didn't know what else she could say.
Zheng Zhuo looked at her and his eyes gradually faded away. Before he lost his consciousness, he suddenly saw a strange scene.
He saw himself sitting next to the stone table in the back garden of the prince's mansion, while Yuan Cixian was opposite him, throwing out a pair of five woods. After throwing it, he said proudly: "I said this must win, you don't believe it!"
He heard the words "you", and was surprised. When he looked aside, he saw Lu Shiqing wearing the "Xu Shan" mask sitting.
He wondered in surprise, how could Yuan Cixian play with him in Wumu? And Lu Shiqing was as stable as Mount Tai and did not knock down the jealous jar? It turned out that he was about to die and had an illusion.
He smiled helplessly, and his hand bent beside him drooped like a force.
Yuan Cixian looked at Zheng Zhuo's eyes tightly closed, as if she heard a distant sound slowly approaching, all the way to her ears, and then spread far away, finally stopping the clouds.
The voice said - Dad likes to be in power, but the power can cure Dad's heart disease, but cannot cure Dad's world. I want to make the rotten trees in the world completely clear and the dead grass reborn. A capable man and ambition can give talents, and the people can enjoy blessings. All countries in all directions congratulate me on the strength of the Great Zhou, but dare not step beyond the line.
She stood up stiffly amid the crying of the people on all sides, slowly clenched her fists, looked at the direction of Chang'an, and said word by word: "My virtue transforms people, righteousness treats scholars, courtesy and peace, rule the country, rule the country with law, and benevolence cultivates the world."
