Chapter 13 The heroine who has been thrown into the cold palace (1)
The heroine seems to be doing pretty well this time.
Lin Zhen squeezed the arms of this body. Wow, it was strong and powerful. It was completely different from the body of Yue Qingzhi and Liu Fufeng in the previous world.
Standing in front of the mirror again, I saw that my eyes were like cold stars, my eyebrows were flying into my temples, and my black hair was tied up casually.
Although she is not a beautiful woman, she just raised her eyes, her gaze was as sharp as a sword, and the aura of battle-hardened killing came towards her, which made Lin Zhen's heart move: "Ah, I like this sister so much."
006: "It is forbidden to covet the beauty of the task target!"
"Okay, I got it, I got it."
Lin Zhen looked at the heroine's temperament and felt that she did not look like she would be abused physically and mentally. She was very curious:
"Let me see the world line. What kind of plot is it?"
The heroine of this world is called Xiao Zhen. She is the only daughter of Xiao Changjin, the king of Zhenbei. She grew up in the border gate. She is a ruthless person who kills Huns like melons and vegetables.
When she was sixteen years old, she led a squad of a hundred people to the Huns' royal court by mistake. Not only was she not afraid, she even took advantage of the situation and charged all the way to capture the head of Qi Duo Khan, and then walked away.
After this battle, Xiao Zhen's name was known all over the world. It is no exaggeration to say that he was a famous general in the world.
Xiao Changjin and Xiao Zhen guarded the border. The Huns were afraid of the two men like tigers and never dared to go south.
"How cool!" 006 exclaimed in admiration.
Looking further down, the situation is a bit ominous.
The great news that Xiao Zhen had captured the head of the Xiongnu Khan was naturally passed on to the emperor's imperial records at great speed.
Emperor Longyan was delighted and said, "Xiao Zhen has made such great contributions, how should I reward her?"
Someone on the side came up with an idea: "Xiao Zhen is a woman after all. She has already led an army in the Zhenbei Army. It would be inappropriate for her to be promoted to a higher rank. Xiao Zhen is in his youth now. Your Majesty might as well give him
She pointed out that a good match is the best reward!"
The emperor laughed and said, "If we talk about good marriage, these sons of mine are quite good-looking. When Xiao Qing comes back to the capital, I will let her choose carefully. If she likes one, I will give them a marriage."
!”
Everyone just said "yes".
So the emperor issued an order to summon Xiao Zhen back to Beijing.
Xiao Zhen never thought that her return to Beijing to report on her duties would be a blind date party in disguise. She rushed to the capital in a hurry and went to the imperial study to see the emperor without even washing her face——
Then we were left to have lunch.
Forget about having lunch, all seven or eight of the emperor's sons were there, even His Highness the Ninth Prince, who had just turned twelve.
Xiao Zhen slandered: No, why did you leave me here as an outsider at your family banquet? It's so embarrassing...
But as the dishes were served one after another, she immediately put this strange feeling behind her and ate the dishes wholeheartedly:
Come on, this is imperial cuisine. I’ve never eaten it before! Gosh, it’s so damn delicious!
Anyway, after Xiao Zhen finished the royal meal that day, he didn't do anything and just walked back home.
The emperor asked her to stay in the capital for a longer time, and she was happy to have some leisure time. Every day she would go to her mother's courtyard to chat with her, telling her how her father was doing at the border, and what interesting things happened in the military camp...
It would be great if a prince didn't come to her door every now and then to invite her to play somewhere.
Several princes knew that their father intended to marry this female general, and they also understood what marrying this female general meant -
It can be said that whoever marries Xiao Zhen will basically have the throne for sure!
Under such circumstances, the prince who was interested in the throne would go to Xiao Zhen's side with all his strength:
Today you invited Xiao Zhen to visit the lake, and tomorrow I have to invite Xiao Zhen to go on an outing; the eldest prince gave Xiao Zhen a jade pendant, and the second prince will send a set of gemstones to him tomorrow...
It's such a joy to be so busy every day.
Only Xiao Zhen complained with some confusion: "It's really troublesome to get around in the capital. There are such and such gatherings every day. What a waste of time."
The male protagonist, the Seventh Prince, is particularly unique among this group of people:
He doesn't give Xiao Zhen any jewelry, nor does he go sightseeing with Xiao Zhen. Every time they meet, he talks about life and ideals;
But his eloquence was indeed quite good, and what he said was extravagant. Xiao Zhen was stunned for a moment, and he felt from the bottom of his heart - the seventh prince is really a promising young man with ideals and ambitions!
The conversation became more interesting, and Xiao Zhen inevitably got closer to the seventh prince. The other princes saw this and couldn't help but grit their teeth. The emperor was indeed happy to see this happen, and the seventh prince hinted at it again, and the emperor immediately
Made up one's mind——
He quickly granted marriage to the seventh prince and Xiao Zhen.
When Xiao Zhen received the edict naming her the seventh prince's concubine, she was still a little dazed: Didn't she return to Beijing this time to report on her work and visit relatives? Why was she suddenly granted a marriage?
It was Mrs. Xiao who pulled her sleeves from the side, and Xiao Zhen came back to her senses and received the order to thank her.
In short, the marriage between Xiao Zhen and the Seventh Prince was decided. A year later, the two got married.
After marriage, the seventh prince still pretended to be good.
Although Xiao Zhen didn't like him very much, he felt that he was quite wise. If he could ascend the throne in the future, he would probably be a scornful hero.
A few years later, the emperor passed away. Before his death, he left a legacy which was passed down to the seventh prince Mu Xing.
Mu Xing finally ascended the throne as he wished.
After he ascended the throne, he became very indifferent to Xiao Zhen, and did not even appoint Xiao Zhen as his queen. Although Xiao Zhen did not care, the courtiers discussed it a lot, and many people came forward to advise him, but he turned a deaf ear.
Xiao Zhen can ignore these things.
Until she discovered that Mu Xing was plotting to get rid of King Zhenbei and the elite guards of the northern border.
This matter is not difficult to find out.
Although Xiao Zhen was not very sensitive in terms of human relations, he was very concerned about these military deployment matters.
She accidentally learned that Mu Xing secretly mobilized the Liangzhou garrison to go north. Then she thought about the war situation just reported in the north, and if she followed these clues to investigate, it was not difficult to guess what Mu Xing wanted to do.
But precisely because she guessed it, she felt even more shocked——
When Mu Xing first came to the throne and the world was not yet settled, he planned to murder the generals guarding the border. Is it because the king of Zhenbei was powerful and his achievements shocked the master?
What if you wait until the power in your hands is a little more consolidated and everything in the DPRK is settled before you take action? I won't despise you so much!
As the king of a country, he is so short-sighted!
Xiao Zhen couldn't help but sigh: "This is not the Lord of Ming Dynasty!"
It no longer matters whether he is a wise master or not.
Mu Xing acted quickly. On the fifth day after Xiao Zhen discovered the conspiracy and sent a letter to the King of Zhenbei, he led people to Xiao Zhen's palace, threw a wooden box in front of her, and said: "Xiao Changjin
Die!"
Xiao Zhen looked at his father's familiar face in the wooden box, his eyes turned red, and he couldn't hold back tears in front of Mu Xing.
She raised her head and looked at Mu Xing, and asked seriously: "My father is dead, who does Your Majesty want to have to guard Yanmen?"
Mu Xing was furious: "Do you think that except Xiao Changjin, no one in the huge Yong Dynasty can defend the northern border?"
Xiao Zhen closed his eyes tiredly.
Mu Xing walked away coldly.
From then on, Xiao Zhen was relegated to the cold palace.
She could not hear any news from outside the palace, but she only saw the way Mu Xing came to the cold palace every now and then to express his temper. She also knew that Mu Xing was probably not doing well as emperor.
Even if Mu Xinglai lost his temper, Xiao Zhen didn't want to pay attention to him at all.
But he wanted to come to Xiao Zhen to beat and smash him, and he was afraid of Xiao Zhen's force - so he picked Xiao Zhen's hand tendons and hamstrings.
It hurts. But Xiao Zhen doesn't care about anything anymore. She just wants to see when this stupid thing will realize that the Yong Dynasty has begun to slowly collapse?
In less than ten years, public opinion in the Yong Dynasty was boiling, and swordsmen were everywhere. The Xiongnu on the border moved all the way south, and were about to capture the capital.
At this time, Mu Xing remembered that Xiao Zhen had arrived, "The Huns have arrived at the city, Zhenzhen, please help me..."
Xiao Zhen showed him the scar on his wrist, with a look of disdain in his eyes: If he can't help, he should wait to die.
When Mu Xing saw the scar, he felt a trace of regret in his heart: If I had known this, I shouldn't have...
He suppressed the distracted thoughts in his heart and said: "The Huns are afraid of you. As long as you appear on the city wall, they might retreat..."
This was because he was ill and had to seek medical treatment. Xiao Zhen closed his eyes and agreed: "I do it for the people of the capital, not for you."
When Xiao Zhen appeared on the city wall wearing a battle armor, there was indeed a commotion among the Huns.
The leader of the general was Qi Duo's son Zharmu. He shouted in front of the battle: "Xiao Zhen has been living in the palace for a long time and has neglected his martial arts. What is there to be afraid of? The reward for Qi Duo Khan is today!"
Although it was a rhetorical statement that even he did not believe in order to boost morale, it unexpectedly struck a chord with Xiao Zhen's current situation. It seemed that it was impossible for the Huns to retreat without a fight.
What else can I do? Let’s fight.
Although Xiao Zhen could not go into battle to kill the enemy, he still had the ability to mobilize troops and generals.
She renovated the capital city like an iron barrel, and spent another two months trying to sow discord between various Xiongnu tribes. Finally, on a starless and moonless night, the leader of a certain Xiongnu tribe rebelled.
That night, flames were blazing outside the capital city, shouts of killing were everywhere, and the Xiongnu troops fled in all directions like headless flies. Fortunately, Zalmu was able to escape desperately because of the help of his close friends who risked their lives to save him.
After that, Mu Xing restrained himself a lot, at least he no longer had the habit of going to the cold palace to smash things.
But how could his mean, unkind, and suspicious temperament be changed in a short time?
Within a few years, some people rebelled.
This time, Mu Xing found Xiao Zhen again, and Xiao Zhen said: "If the Huns invade, I will naturally be bound to do it. People in the world want to fight for justice and bring peace to peace. What can I do to stop them?"
"I am the emperor, and they are rebelling!" Mu Xing was furious, "What you want to say about eradicating violence and bringing order to the people, I am a coward!"
Xiao Zhen looked at him coldly.
do not you?
Mu Xing was irritated by her look. He was so angry that he drew his sword and stabbed her in the chest.
Xiao Zhen did not dodge or evade, and even went forward to meet him. He stabbed his chest with his long sword, making a soft "puff" sound.
Xiao Zhen's memory ends here.
What a wonderful heroine.
She was obviously a famous general who could wield swords and horses, and dominate the battlefield, but her whole life was wasted in the palace. What a pity.
As for Mu Xing, Lin Zhen’s evaluation of him is: any dog on the throne is better than him!
