In the spring, Zhongnan Mountain is green and rolling, with birds chirping and flying in the treetops, clear springs gurgling in the stone streams and grass, sometimes the roar of wild beasts shakes the mountains and forests, and sometimes there is a breeze blowing through the green forest like waves.
Birds are singing and flowers are fragrant, spring is bright and the scenery is bright. The Taoist temple hidden among the trees is at war with each other at this moment. The soldiers of the house and the princess's guards unsheathed their swords and cocked their arrows, surrounding the Taoist temple. The scouts marched ten miles forward to ensure that any
Anyone close can do anything
Detect first, there is nothing to hide from, and the Taoist temple is not allowed to be in any danger of being attacked.
The atmosphere inside the Taoist temple was even more tense and solemn.
More than a dozen palace maids were busy under the command of the midwife, constantly bringing hot water, cotton cloth and other items into the rebuilt delivery room in the side hall, but they all moved lightly and did not dare to make the slightest sound.
Princess Gaoyang, dressed in splendid clothes, was sitting on a chair in the corridor. Her beautiful little face was expressionless, but her plain hands were holding the teacup so hard that her nails were slightly white.
Jin Shengman, on the other hand, was wearing light armor and stood beside her with a sword in his hand. His beautiful eyes were shining as he glanced over every palace maid and midwife. If he found any abnormalities at all, he would draw his sword and kill them without hesitation!
Someone had already planned to murder Princess Changle to anger Fang Jun. Now that Princess Changle is about to give birth, everything must be ensured.
From time to time, a cry of pain came from the delivery room. The sun was just right today. Princess Gaoyang was bathing in the warm sunshine in the corridor. She only felt hot in her heart. Coupled with the moans and calls, she became even more upset and couldn't help but spat.
: "I look like an immortal all day long, and everything is different.
With his lingering appearance, I thought he had a strong personality, but who would have expected that he would yell and scream like this after giving birth to a child? It’s really useless.”
Jin Shengman was speechless. For women, childbirth is like a death sentence. The feeling of pain and fear is enough to defeat any reason. Which woman doesn't scream?
There was a commotion outside the temple, but it soon became quiet. Before Princess Gaoyang sent someone to inquire, Cen Changqian, who was dressed in military uniform and fully armored, walked into the courtyard from outside the temple, quickly came to Princess Gaoyang, bowed and whispered: "
Your Highness, the scouts just discovered a group of people trying to get close to
I led my men to capture all the thieves who were near the Taoist temple, and after a brief interrogation, they went into the mountains to hunt and approached this place unintentionally."
Now within the clan and in the court, there are quite a few forces targeting Fang Jun. Perhaps they do not want to do anything to Fang Jun, but just want to do something to anger Fang Jun. There has been precedent for this. Therefore, when Princess Changle gave birth, even the palace was
Not daring to stay, lest those people take advantage of the crowds and complexity, Princess Changle was placed in the Taoist temple in Zhongnan Mountain. Inside and outside, there were all close and reliable people.
To avoid accidents.
Even so, it was like facing a formidable enemy.
"Going into the mountains to hunt?"
Princess Gao Yang sneered: "The Zhongnan Mountains are so vast, with thousands of ravines and crisscrossing mountains. How did you end up here by such a coincidence? The more coincidence, the more unlucky it is." She waved her little hand and said coldly: "If my sister hadn't given birth today, she would be here.
To give birth to Lin'er, if you don't want to increase the number of killings, you should kill all these people! However, although the death penalty is exempted, the living penalty is unforgivable. Each person has one leg broken, and then let Li Jun
Xian took over and told him that no matter what method he used, he must find out the identities and intentions of these people, and let him personally report it to Lang Jun, who would then make the decision."
"Here!"
Cen Changqian did not dare to say anything, so she quickly accepted the order and turned around to exit.
This His Highness has a beautiful face, golden branches and jade leaves, but he opens his mouth and wants to kill people. He is murderous and violent, which is a bit scary.
However, he also heard that when Changsun Wuji rebelled, it was this highness who stayed in Liang Guogong's mansion and led a group of family soldiers to repeatedly defeat powerful enemy rebels. She was by no means an ordinary woman who was timid and cowardly.
And the heroic Princess of Silla, standing with a sword next to Her Royal Highness, even personally went into battle to capture Changsun Wuji's son alive...
There is also the Lady Wu who is said to be unparalleled in intelligence and strategy...
Each of these women is outstanding, stunningly talented and beautiful, and it would be difficult to conquer one of them, but the handsome man can embrace everyone and enjoy the blessings of everyone.
Marshal, he is indeed a god... After leaving the Taoist Temple Gate, Cen Changqian quickly came to a group of thieves dressed as slaves and dandy men who were kneeling on the ground by soldiers, and said in a cold voice: "Your Highness has an order, everyone interrupts."
One leg, sent to Baiqisi for interrogation...all blocked
Keep your mouth shut, so as not to disturb the noble man with howling ghosts and wolves."
"Here!"
The soldiers immediately stepped forward and pushed the group of people to the ground. Some of them found sticks and were waiting for execution.
A group of people suddenly struggled desperately, their mouths were blocked and they couldn't scream, but they could still make a "wuwu" sound and squirmed like maggots. The leader somehow got the rag off his mouth and shouted: "I am Xun
Li Sixun, the second son of the Duke, is a noble clan member. How can you scoundrels abuse him? This world belongs to my Li family. What do you want?
The rebellion will fail!"
"Haha, Li Xiaoxie, Duke of Xi?"
Cen Changqian sneered.
Then Li Sixun said angrily: "How dare you say my father's name?" Cen Changqian smiled playfully: "If you keep keeping your mouth shut, that's all, break a leg, and this matter will probably end there. But since you will
If your father takes it out, then this matter won't be left undisturbed.
My commander-in-chief will go to the Duke of Xi’s mansion and ask for an explanation."
Li Sixun's face turned pale, knowing that he had gotten into a big trouble, and said in a trembling voice: "It's just a hunt in the mountains, doesn't it have to be like this? What's more, we are several miles away and have never disturbed this place!"
He couldn't figure out what was going on before. Could it be that Fang Er bought Zhongnan Mountain and was not even allowed to enter the mountain?
Now that I was pressed outside this Taoist temple, I knew that there must be a noble person here, and I was afraid that I might have bumped into the noble person unintentionally.
When I heard Cen Changqian say "Your Highness" again, I naturally knew that Princess Gaoyang was here.
But even Princess Gaoyang can't help but let me go hunting in the mountains, right?
Is it possible that this person is stealing people here behind Fang Er’s back, so he wants to eradicate himself?
The more Li Sixun thought about it, the more scared he became, but then he thought, if he really wanted to steal someone here, he wouldn't have brought so many soldiers and horses, let alone sent him to "Hundred Cavalry Division". Wouldn't it be known to the whole world?
No matter how you think about it, it's not a good thing, and I'm trembling.
Cen Changqian did not hesitate: "If you have anything to do, go and talk to Baiqisi. Whether you can get out of Baiqisi alive depends on you. Your father can't help either."
With a wave of his hand, the soldier stepped forward and blocked Li Sixun's mouth again, then raised the stick high and smashed it down on his leg.
"Woo——"
Severe pain came, Li Sixun's eyes bulged, and his veins bulged, and then his nose and tears flowed down...
"Bang bang bang" the muffled sound of the stick breaking the leg bone was heard one after another. All the slaves were in severe pain and struggled and twisted on the ground.
After smashing it from beginning to end and confirming that nothing was missing, Cen Changqian waved his hand: "No need to treat the injuries, all are transported by car to the Xuanwu Gate and handed over to the 'Baiqisi' for disposal."
"Here."
The soldiers rushed the carriages carrying food and clothing and sent people down the mountain.
Because it involved the clan, Cen Changqian turned around and entered the mountain gate again to report to Princess Gaoyang. As soon as she entered the door, she heard a loud cry of a baby coming from the delivery room in the side hall.
A smile instantly broke out on Cen Changqian's face, and her steps became much brisker.
"Prosperous heirs" has always been one of the signs of success, even the most important. Otherwise, even if you have thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, no one will inherit the country, and no one will offer blood after death, what is the use of ruling the world?
?
The more sons Fang Jun has, and the more outstanding ones appear among them, the greater the probability that they can inherit Fang Jun's career. This is a good thing for all those who follow Fang Jun.
Even though Fang Jun is only in his twenties now...
But followers will also have sons in the future. Such a long-lasting friendship will be passed down from generation to generation, which is the best alliance for interests.
A midwife walked out quickly from the delivery room, with an irrepressible smile on her face, and said loudly: "I am so happy, Your Highness has given birth to a little boy! He is healthy, mother and son are safe!"
Princess Gaoyang, who had been standing nervously at the door, suddenly became energetic. She waved her hand and said loudly: "Reward! Everyone is lucky, the reward will be doubled!"
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Everyone inside and outside the house was smiling.
Princess Gaoyang was worried about Princess Changle and wanted to enter the house to have a look, but was stopped by the midwife, saying that she would not allow outsiders to visit until the house was cleaned up, otherwise it would be too dirty and would be detrimental.
Princess Gaoyang could only give up.
Cen Changqian stepped forward at this time and whispered: "Those people have already confessed that they are Li Sixun, the second son of the Duke of Xi, and insist that they accidentally entered this place while hunting in the mountains. But from what I can see below, there may be something hidden in it."
"Li Xiaoxie, Duke of Xi?"
Princess Gaoyang narrowed her phoenix eyes and snorted coldly: "I sent someone to assassinate my eldest brother in the Japanese country before, and now it's like this again? I'm afraid I was forced to lose a lot of money by Lang Jun. I feel distressed and want to do something."
Take it out."
After a pause, he said: "Ignore it, let Li Junxian investigate clearly, and then make a decision after Lang Jun comes back."
Li Xiaoxie probably didn't have the guts to send people to disturb Princess Changle's birth. Even if he had the guts, he might not send his own son here.
There may be a deeper conspiracy behind this matter, and the clan may be involved. It is better to wait until Fang Jun comes back before making further calculations.
"I understand." "Okay, take people to guard here. Don't let anyone disturb Sister Changle and her children. As long as you feel that someone has evil intentions, you can make a decision immediately. Don't be afraid of arresting the wrong person, no matter whether it is wrong or not.
, I have my support for you.
"
"Here."
Cen Changqian was in high spirits. Although this princess looked a little squeamish, she was actually decisive and courageous. Since she had her support behind her, what else did she have to fear?
…
Li Junxian had lunch at the "Baiqisi" military camp outside Xuanwu Gate, and sat in the official mansion drinking tea, but his mind had already drifted to Zhongnan Mountain.
Princess Changle was about to give birth recently. In the palace, the Fang family sent a midwife, and even the Fang family soldiers and the princess's guards protected her. Li Junxian did not dare to send anyone there, but he always kept it in mind and prayed to God and Buddha for protection so that nothing would happen.
.
If someone with no eyesight disturbed Princess Changle's delivery, it would be fine. If something happened, he couldn't imagine what kind of turmoil Fang Jun would cause after returning to the capital. Just as he was worried, he saw his captain running in quickly.
He said quickly: "General, something bad happened. Someone went hunting around the Taoist temple where Princess Changle lived, and was caught on the spot. Princess Gaoyang had her legs broken and was brought here.
It is said that the general will conduct a strict interrogation to find out the truth, and then leave it to the Duke of Yue to make a decision." Li Junxian only felt a "buzzing" sound in his head, which was also strange. He was afraid of whatever he wanted...
