Yun Buhui really wanted to remain neutral and not take sides with anyone, but the fact was before her eyes. On one side was her closest family. No matter how close her friends were, that was the home she had always longed for. She could not just watch her home being destroyed.
People are ruined.
After coming out of the cell, Yun Buhui kept thinking about what she could do.
King Zhao's carriage was waiting for her outside. She stood on the steps of Tianlao and looked at him. She couldn't get closer for a moment. She remembered in a daze that she and he had never really been close. Yun Buhui laughed at himself and King Xuan said that she had forgotten.
As for her identity, she only spoke for the enemy. He was right in his accusation. She seemed to have really forgotten that she was the daughter-in-law of Prince Xuan. She had no qualifications and should not get too close to Prince Zhao.
"I just received a battle report, which is good news for you." King Zhao chuckled, "Cheng Mu made a sneak attack and fired fire, and won a great victory."
"What kind of good news is this?" Yun Buhui walked down the steps and said calmly, "For me, if everything can return to the way it was before, that's good news. Anything else is not good news."
King Zhao said, "I see that you have been very worried these past two days. Maybe you want to hear the good news."
Yun Buhui said, "My lord, can he capture Ningzhou?"
King Zhao shook his head without saying a word, firmly stating the final outcome of the war. King Zhao said in a deep voice, "In three days, I will personally lead my troops to Ningzhou. Since Cheng Mubai does not give up, I will let him give up."
Yun Buhui was surprised, "You want to leave the capital?"
King Zhao nodded, and Yun Buhui thought to himself, now the four counties are attacking the capital together. The soldiers and horses of the North County and the West County are all concentrated in Ningzhou. The troops of the two southeast counties are facing the soldiers and horses of Jingyang Marquis in Gaoyang Plain.
Odds of winning. North County soldiers and horses are a big concern for King Zhao. Cheng Mubai has attacked four cities in a row. The most important thing in a war is the morale of the army. With a single blow, the momentum is like a tiger. Now Cheng Mubai is winning a great victory. If he captures the fifth city in Ningzhou, Zhao
The king was afraid that half of the country in Ningzhou would collapse, so he would not allow it.
Yun Buhui was frightened. King Zhao personally led the troops. Does Cheng Mubai have any chance of winning?
She looked at King Zhao in panic, and he said, "If you don't regret it, I can't guarantee anything on the battlefield, and I can't promise you anything."
"Aren't you afraid that your people will rebel? If you leave the capital and those veterans who are loyal to the emperor fight back, you will fall short." Yun Buhui wanted to stop him from going to Ningzhou. Now that there is no King Zhao in Ningzhou, Cheng Mubai has fought so hard. If
When King Zhao goes there, for the Zhao family army, it is like the imperial commander personally marching, the morale of the army is stable, and Cheng Mubai is definitely no match.
King Zhao asked, "Have you ever seen me do anything I'm not sure about?"
…
When Beitang Zhennan heard that King Zhao was going to lead the army in person, he was not surprised. He seemed to have expected such an ending. King Zhao was the prince immediately. Now there was a hearty battle in the South Kingdom. The opponent
It was Cheng Mubai again. No matter what his psychology was, it was impossible for King Zhao to miss this battle.
Yun Buhui asked, "Can no one stop him?"
"No!" Beitang Zhennan said in a deep voice. Yun Buhui was very anxious. If King Zhao went to Ningzhou, she would also go to Ningzhou. She wanted to find Cheng Mubai. No matter what, she wanted to be with him, even if
On the war zone.
Lin Wan'er said, "If you don't regret it, don't be impulsive. Ningzhou is in chaos. What are you going to do as a girl?"
Yun Buhui smiled bitterly, "Ningzhou is in chaos, but if King Zhao goes to Ningzhou, Xiaobai will have no chance of winning this battle. Maybe I won't even be able to see Xiaobai for the last time. I must go to Ningzhou."
Beitang Zhennan pursed his lips and narrowed his eyes, "Maybe you can stop him?"
Yun Buhui looked at Beitang Zhennan and said calmly, "Kill him."
"What did you say?"
"If you really want to save your husband and your family, then kill him. Once King Zhao dies, there will be no leader. Everything is over. The Cheng family's empire is still the Cheng family's empire. Your husband is unscathed. You
My family can live a stable and comfortable life as long as King Zhao dies." Beitang Zhennan said extremely calmly.
Yun Buhui's palms were sweaty. She didn't know that once King Zhao died, everything would be over. However, killing King Zhao... Kui Beitang Zhennan could imagine who could kill a veteran who had experienced many battles.
Prince.
Beitang Zhennan said, "You can, but you just don't want to."
"Prime Minister, you want me to kill him?" Yun Buhui's expression changed, Beitang Zhennan nodded, his voice pressed like a sharp blade on her heart, "No one can get close to King Zhao, except you, he
I have no defense against you, and you have plenty of ways to kill him. As long as you regard yourself as a dead person, as long as you are willing to sacrifice yourself to kill him, you have plenty of ways. Yun Buhui, this is the only way to save the Cheng family."
Yun Buhui shook his head, "No, I can't do it."
Beitang Zhennan sneered, an invisible sarcastic sneer, as if he could see through something, which made Yun Buhui embarrassed. Lin Wan'er looked at them worriedly, and Yun Buhui said, "I can't kill him, and I won't kill him."
He, if Cheng Mubai dies, I will accompany him, but if you ask me to kill King Zhao, I can't do it."
She had long made up her mind that she would stay with Cheng Mubai until death, but this illness did not mean that she would kill King Zhao.
Guilt, regret, first love, debt...the relationship of so many years did not disappear overnight. Even if he is no longer the person she loves, King Zhao is still a very important friend in her life.
She couldn't hold the knife and point it at her friend.
King Zhao seemed to expect that she would go to him, so he avoided her for the past two days and stayed in the palace every day. Today, in the palace, except for a prince with crippled legs and a dying emperor, King Zhao has occupied the entire palace.
Even if he spent the night in the palace, no one would dare to say anything to him.
Yun Buhui stood waiting in front of the Beigong Gate. She wanted to release King Xuan, Cheng Youtian, and Cheng Mudong before King Zhao went to Ningzhou. Once they left, only his cousin and several of his cronies would be left in the capital.
She couldn't control the situation. If someone disobeyed King Zhao, King Xuan, Cheng Youtian, and Cheng Mudong would be in danger. Before she went to Ningzhou, she wanted to take them out of the prison.
Even if King Zhao disagrees, she will use her own method to bring the person out. If she can convince him, she will convince him. This is the fastest way with the least casualties.
Without the token, the Royal Forest Army did not let her in. However, Yun Buhui met an acquaintance, Eunuch Xie, who came to the palace to read out the imperial edict. I am afraid she was the only person she knew in the palace compound. Eunuch Xie led the two father-in-laws to do things.
, happened to be in front of the Beigong Gate. Yun Buhui frowned slightly. She heard the imperial guard calling Mr. Xie the chief eunuch, and from the arrogant tone of the father-in-law next to him, she judged that he was the eunuch chief. The masters in the palace were all fawning over him, not to mention the imperial guard at the door.
"Why did the Crown Princess appear here?" Eunuch Xie asked. Bingyue pulled Yun Buhui and wanted to leave. There was no need to cause trouble in front of the palace gate. Yun Buhui said, "I'm here to find King Zhao."
Eunuch Xie covered his mouth and smiled, "The Crown Princess really doesn't shy away from suspicion. Recently, there are rumors in the capital that the prince and the Prime Minister's wife's sister are getting close. I met him once when I was out of the palace to do business. I knew she was the Crown Princess. I didn't expect you to be very courageous.
, Dare to come to the palace."
Yun Buhui pursed her lips and remained silent. King Zhao avoided her, so of course she had to find a way to find him.
Bingyue said softly, "Miss, this is a place of right and wrong, let's go."
Eunuch Xie had already made an invitation gesture, intending to invite her in. Yun Buhui looked at him with a frown, "Aren't you afraid that the prince will punish you?"
"The Crown Princess once said that when doing things, you should leave a way out for yourself. A slave only leaves a way out for yourself." Eunuch Xie said meaningfully. Yun Buhui thought to himself that he must have misunderstood her and thought that she and
King Zhao had an affair, so he gave her convenience. When King Zhao ascended the throne, she would benefit and so would he. Yun Buhui sneered in his heart, fearing that he would be disappointed.
But someone is willing to give her convenience, and she can't ask for it at this moment.
Entering the palace was easier than she thought. With Eunuch Xie leading the way, Yun Buhui would not get lost in the maze-like palace. The long and wide streets with red walls passed through one palace after another.
, she was led to the imperial garden by Eunuch Xie.
Eunuch Xie said that every afternoon, King Zhao was in the Imperial Garden.
Yun Buhui and Bingyue are newcomers in the palace. Eunuch Xie cannot leave. Yun Buhui asked him to report back. Eunuch Xie thought about it and then went to the imperial study. King Zhao supervises the country, just like the emperor. The affairs of the country are busy.
He would ask the royal study to stay until very late. In less than a stick of incense, Eunuch Xie came back with an embarrassed look on his face and said, "My dearest concubine, what a coincidence. Your Majesty went to Chunyue Villa."
Yun Buhui was unfamiliar with the imperial palace, but he was so blessed that he suddenly asked, "Is it the Chunyue Villa next to Kapok Garden?"
"How did the Crown Princess know?"
Yun Buhui lied, "Your Majesty mentioned that I know I can go directly from the palace. Can Eunuch Xie lead the way? I'm afraid I won't be able to find the way to the other courtyard."
Eunuch Xie gave Yun Buhui a meaningful look and agreed readily, so he took her to Chunyue Courtyard. It took half an hour to get there from the palace. Along the way, Yun Buhui and Bingyue felt very puzzled.
There was almost no one in the palace.
Yun Buhui asked Eunuch Xie, and Eunuch Xie said that they were taking the road to the middle palace, not the harem. To discuss matters in the court, high officials in the court often took these roads. King Zhao had given an order, and the palace maids and eunuchs were not allowed to go there.
Don't go back to the previous dynasty, so the crowds are rare, but there are many people in the harem. There are more than a dozen concubines in the middle palace, the fourth concubine, the third concubine, and the concubine, which is not a small number. Yun Buhui thought to himself, this emperor's
There are many concubines, but few heirs.
"Stop, who are you?" Suddenly heard a cold shout, Bingyue was already a little nervous, so she couldn't help but pull Yun Buhui's sleeve. On the path, a middle-aged man pushed a young man in a wheelchair and approached.
, followed by four maids and two eunuchs. The young man was wearing a gold-rimmed brocade suit. He was very thin, with extremely white skin, thick black eyebrows, and full of violence in his eyes. The middle-aged man next to him was wearing a green robe, and he was very thin.
