The sixth prince waited in front of the bed and waited for the emperor to wake up. While holding the medicine bowl and feeding the medicine, he said: "Father, rumors are rampant now. I'm afraid I need my father to say something that Prince Yu is the flesh and blood of the late prince.

, Only in this way can the reputation of the father be preserved, otherwise... the rumors outside will be too bad."

The emperor fainted and woke up again. His mood had calmed down a little, but after hearing the sixth prince's words, the anger surged into his heart again, and he opened his mouth and coughed up blood.

The sixth prince quickly brought him a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth, "Father, please take care of yourself. The rumor must have been spread intentionally by King Duankang. He has bad intentions. Father, please don't let him succeed."

The emperor held back his anger and said, "When rumors were rampant before, I already said that Yan'er was the flesh and blood of the late prince. How can I explain this? That old thief deliberately wants to slander my reputation. I can't let that happen.

He led the way."

The Sixth Prince sighed.

"Now he is hiding and we are hiding. We can't catch his whereabouts, but he is like a rat in the gutter wreaking havoc everywhere. King Duankang's purpose is very clear. He just wants to confuse people's hearts and shake the imperial court. So next, he

Maybe they raised their troops to invade.

Even if we ignore the rumors, if he raises his troops to invade, can those in the Xishan Camp resist it, father?

King Duankang had already colluded with the prefect of Yuhang and Manchu officials. We don’t know how many of them were bribed by him, and we don’t know how powerful he is.

Father, I am always a little panicked in my heart. If a fight really breaks out, I am afraid that the thief will succeed."

The sixth prince looked worried.

The emperor's heart was originally filled with anger, but now he felt a little more uneasy. However, he had a sense of control and was more stable than the sixth prince. "You don't have to worry about this. I have someone in my hands, so I'm not afraid of him coming."

The sixth prince's eyes lit up, "Are my father's people in Kyoto? If King Duankang directly invades Kyoto, can my father's people come as soon as possible?"

The emperor twirled his fingers and did not answer. After a moment of silence, he smiled and said: "Don't worry, I have my own arrangements. I'm not afraid of King Duankang's invasion. I'm afraid he won't."

For the emperor, the most pressing issue right now is the rumor.

There were rumors outside that he had defiled the former crown princess and that Yu Yan was the father of an adulterous child.

He doesn't care about Yu Yan's reputation, but this dirty water must not be poured on him.

The emperor summoned his close courtiers and gave the order again, emphasizing that Yu Yan was the orphan of the first prince and that he was only raising the child for the first prince.

After finishing this matter, the emperor ordered Princess Xinrou to be taken to the imperial study room.

Since the last palace banquet, Queen Mother Xinrou has been under house arrest in the Queen Mother's palace. Now, it is time for the Emperor to use her.

Once Xinrou came, the emperor no longer even had to pretend, "I have raised you to be more delicate than a serious princess for so many years, and it's time for you to repay me.

When your father left that year, he personally promised me that Nanzhao would have 3,000 elite soldiers to be dispatched at my will."

Xinrou looked at the emperor with a disdainful smile, but she quickly hid it and knelt down to salute, "Your Majesty only remembers the promise my father made to you, but he even refused to make the final decision on my marriage. Xinrou feels aggrieved. , Your Majesty clearly knows that I am very fond of the young prince."

The emperor frowned, "Do you want to negotiate terms with me?"

Princess Xinrou looked straight at the emperor.

After Yu Yan left Beijing, she sent people to follow Yu Yan, and asked those people to find an opportunity to kidnap Yu Yan and take him back to Kyoto secretly. As a result, a group of idiots failed to find a chance to attack him. In the end, it was Xu Mingdong from Qianzhou City who kidnapped him. Caught.

But now more than a month has passed since Xu Mingdong arrested someone. The news there suddenly stopped and nothing could be sent.

Xinrou received no news in Kyoto, just like a deaf and blind person.

All her life, she has been treated as a pawn and a body for exchange of interests.

Why can't she benefit from something for herself?

She had no other wish, just that she wanted to enjoy the feast.

Moreover, her father had said that when the emperor asked her for three thousand elite soldiers, it would be when Nanzhao's tens of thousands of troops attacked. By then, the entire country would belong to Zhao Guo.

Yu Yan should be hers by rights.

"Your Majesty needs my father's three thousand elite soldiers, and I need Yu Yan. As long as your Majesty agrees to give Yu Yan to me, I will write a letter for your Majesty." Xinrou looked at the emperor calmly and calmly, "Nanzhao's three thousand elite soldiers have entered the country. , must have come from Qianzhou City. Now that your Majesty has granted Qianzhou City to Prince Yu, are you not afraid that Prince Yu will defend Qianzhou City even to death? His Majesty has decreed that Prince Yu will return to the capital, and as long as he sees him, Man, I'll write immediately."

The emperor frowned, "There is no news from Yu Yan now. Where can I go to let you meet someone! Not to mention Yu Yan, even the family members of Anbo Prince's Palace have not sent back any news yet."

This is not an excuse from the emperor, he really doesn't know where Yu Yan is.

Princess Xinrou smiled and said: "Your Majesty doesn't know, but I happen to know that Prince Yu is in Qianzhou. Your Majesty, please give the order. I will write a letter immediately after seeing Yu Yan."

The emperor let Xinrou's words tremble with shock, "You know? How do you know?"

Xinrou smiled, "Is this important? Your Majesty, don't you really think that my father left me here as a hostage, so you don't give me any protection? It's meaningless to say this at this time. Your Majesty gives me people, and I give you soldiers." , we all have interests.”

The rumors originally aroused the emperor's anger.

Now he was even more furious.

The reason why he let Xinrou's father go was because, firstly, he had seized the other party's wealth token, secondly, he had detained Xinrou, and thirdly, he had a secret affair with the current emperor of Nanzhao. trade.

He always thought that Xinrou was the canary he kept in a cage, just waiting to let the bird out of the cage one day to gain benefits for himself.

But she didn't know that for so many years, under her nose, Xinrou actually had her own protective power.

He didn't know anything.

This feeling of being deceived made the emperor's anger stir the blood in his throat. He endured it for a while before he could hold back the fishy smell in his throat, "I can give the order, but how do I know that you will not lie to me? After all, I have been I didn’t even know that you had your own power, and I didn’t even know where Yan’er was, but you knew that you made me feel uneasy.”

Princess Xinrou smiled and said, "Since Your Majesty is worried, how about this? Your Majesty ordered Yu Yan to return to the capital. I wrote to my father. Your Majesty's edict and my trust are with your Majesty's people and mine." Send it out. When the time comes, the imperial edict will arrive in Qianzhou, Yu Yan will return to Beijing, and my letter will pass through Qianzhou and go directly to Nanzhao. In this way, no one will be delayed."

Since the emperor ascended the throne, he has been holding in the palm of his hand and humiliating everyone he dislikes. This is the first time that someone has negotiated terms with him like this.

"Aren't you afraid that I will lock you up and torture you? When the time comes that you will make the world unresponsive and the earth will not work, you will know whether you should make conditions with me."

Princess Xinrou laughed loudly, "Since your majesty has this intention, you might as well give it a try. I can guarantee that if I am captured by your majesty on the front foot, the Nanzhao army will flatten Qianzhou and march directly to the Central Plains. Then I will not be a helper." Let Your Majesty fight against the thieves.

and......

I happened to know a thing or two about what happened back then.
