Princess Ankang is the fourteenth daughter of the emperor. Her mother, Guo, fell ill when she was testing medicine for the emperor in her early years. After giving birth to Ankang, she passed away and was fostered by the Empress Changsun. Therefore, Ankang, like Princess Runan, grew up by Li Chengqian's side.

big.

This girl has a quiet temperament, is sensible and beautiful, and is deeply loved by the emperor and empress. In addition, due to the early death of her mother, the emperor and empress, the supreme couple, put a lot of thought into her marriage, and only selected Dugu Mou.

Originally, a man with a talented woman and a beautiful woman, a match made in heaven, lived a happy life, and most people would look at them with envy. But who would have thought that the battle of Gaochang, which was originally a sure win, would turn out like this?

Branches.

Originally, Li Chengqian thought that this weak girl would go to the palace to cry, but the result was just the opposite, and she remained silent. Uneasy, Li Chengqian had no choice but to go to the palace to see this sister in person.

No one can say for sure what happens on the battlefield. Everyone knows that a general will inevitably die in battle. Li Chengqian can't say whether Dugumou will live or die now, so he doesn't want to deceive her with words and try his best to let her know.

She accepts this reality.

After receiving the tea presented by his sister, he glanced at her pale face and said in a deep voice: "Ankang is a vast desert with no one for thousands of miles. The enemy wants to hide in trouble, but it will not be easy for our army to find it. I can't promise you that."

We will definitely be able to bring back the Prince Consort alive."

"Yesterday, Gu had dispatched Suzhou Governor Wei Xiaojie to lead the army westward, sweep away the Gaochang rangers from Zhangye to Qikou, and completely cut off the Gaochang stragglers on our army's supply line. Of course, this is an official excuse, Gu

I have already compiled a letter and sent it to Wei Xiaojie, asking him to find the consort and see him alive, and his body before he dies!"

With the military report from Hou Junji, the emperor was not in a bad mood, and he couldn't read the documents about Gaochang, so he specially told all the affairs related to Gaochang to be handled by the prince. This is just right.

Li Chengqian was worried about not being able to start military affairs in the northwest. Now there is no problem, he can go ahead and do it.

Princess Ankang knew that the imperial court had spent a lot of energy to save the prince-in-law, and she also knew that the war could not be aborted just because Dugu Mou was alone. The chance of survival in the Qianli Shuo Desert and the Wolf's Nest was not that big. This was a little bit

Anyone with some sense understands this.

From the moment she married into the Dugu family, Ankang was prepared to be a widow. Sixteen elders of the Dugu family were already widowed, so what could she do if she was the seventeenth? Furthermore, she and Dugu planned the expedition.

If you go to ask for help together, you can only blame yourself.

"Brother, my sister will be fine. I still have two sons to bring up. Only by raising them can I be worthy of the ancestors of the Dugu family." After saying this, Ankang smiled at his brother and said,

Anyone can see how forced her smile is.

Ankang grew up next to Li Chengqian. She knew that her brother never favored personal favors when facing war. This time he found such an excuse to let Wei Xiaojie go to the army. This was already a huge responsibility and he was impeached.

It's a sure thing, what else can she say after her brother has done this!

"Ankang, you are Gu's sister. I really can't bear to see you sad! There is still hope even if I don't receive bad news for a day. I will try my best. You are the daughter of the Li family, the princess of the royal family, and the mother of the child.

, but you must hold on."

"You have just given birth and are still weak and need to rest. Your sister-in-law has already ordered people to clean the palace and take you and the two children to rest in the palace. You can arrange what you want to bring with you. The carriage is left outside." , after speaking, after rubbing his swollen head, Li Chengqian stood up and left.

As soon as he walked out of the door, he heard heart-wrenching crying from behind, which made Li Chengqian's body dull for a moment; alas, after sighing for a long time, he strode out of the house again.

Since ancient times, the children of the Three Qin Dynasties have been known for their ability to fight and their resistance to fighting. But one can imagine how many blood and tears of orphans and widowed mothers are behind the Qin soldiers' ability to fight! Poor Wuding Riverside Bones, especially in the dream of the spring boudoir. Man, he never thought that this kind of thing would happen to his sister; Dugumou, Dugumou, why did you choose to eat this bowl of rice! Why did you choose to participate in this expedition?

If Princess Ankang cried in front of him, even if she complained a few words, Li Chengqian would understand and would only comfort her more. But his sister chose to bear the pain alone and cry silently. As his elder brother, Li Chengqian couldn't bear it.

Therefore, after leaving the princess's house, Li Chengqian did not choose to return to the palace. He reined in the reins and turned around to go to the Duke of Zhao's house. He backed away and pulled the eldest son Huan into a room alone. Because the prince's expression was extremely serious, everyone in the Duke of Zhao's house was stunned. He retreated knowingly.

"Prince, why are you so serious? I can just follow the instructions of you and the old man and work well in the Ministry of Household Affairs. I haven't done anything like attracting cats and dogs. You can't "kill innocent people indiscriminately" and punish them without teaching! "When he said this, Changsun Huan pointed at the prince and grabbed his hand on his collar.

After letting go of his eldest son Huan, Li Chengqian sat down and looked at his second cousin with a blank expression, and said in a deep voice: "Cousin Huan, businessmen are looking for profit. As long as the reward is generous, there is no problem in burying my mother and I alive! You have been in charge of the caravans in the industrial zone for many years, so you don’t understand this!"

"Your Highness, my cousin, why are you so anxious? If you have any orders, just tell me that I will go through fire and water without hesitation. No matter how deviant the crime is, if it is exposed, I will bear it for you.", the words During this time, Changsun Huan poured the prince a cup of tea and signaled him not to be anxious.

Changsun Huan knew in his heart that it wasn't because it was extremely urgent or that there was no way to smooth things over in officialdom. His cousin, who had power in all the nine provinces and defeated the princes, would never talk to him about business matters. As for him, he was capable. He is limited and cannot compare with his father and elder brother. The only thing he can understand is these things that are full of copper stench.

"Okay, let's get straight to the point. You must have heard about Dugu's disappearance. This kind of thing happens all the time on the battlefield. We should do our best to obey fate! But Gu Jin'er went to see Ankang, and before he left, he heard That girl is crying secretly. To be honest, I feel very uncomfortable!"

"So, I have to show favoritism and violate the rules once! You are familiar with the caravans and all kinds of ghosts and snakes in the Western Regions. If you go away for Gu Gu, you will be given a red flower. If you come back intact, you will be rewarded with one hundred thousand gold. , try our best to bring people back alive."

In the eyes of others, the prince is a cold and ruthless person. Thousands of people fell to the ground with a single swing of the sword, and he has no emotion at all. But in the eyes of Changsun Huan, he is a hard-spoken and soft-hearted master. In the court, the overall situation is the most important thing. He screamed loudly, but secretly he couldn't bear the tears of his family members.

"Although it is against the rules, Your Highness did this in a humane way. I will go to the Internal Guard Mansion to borrow someone first, and then set off immediately! Don't worry, as long as Dugu Mou is still alive, I promise to take him back. If he dies, no matter what
