Princess Zhu Youxi of Anping is the favorite direct princess of the current emperor Youwu. Her mother is Empress Liu, the head of the harem, and her grandfather is the Marquis of Jiangnan Liu Fu, who is known as the King of the South and is powerful in six counties in the south.
It can be said that she was born with a golden key, and she has been loved by many people since childhood.
What's rare is that Princess Anping is kind-hearted. Although she is a bit arrogant, she often does things that are beneficial to the people.
He also likes to fight against injustice and clean up some young dandies, and is deeply loved by the people in the capital.
But such a rare and good princess had a bad fate. Half a year ago, she married Zhang Daochen, the legitimate son of the Marquis of Sichuan, but she never imagined that Zhang Daochen would become a useless person before entering the bridal chamber.
In this era, it is not a good sign to be left behind, even if you are a princess of a country.
To make matters worse, more than a month ago, news came from the servants in the princess palace that Princess Zhu Youxi of Anping was pregnant.
For a time, the whole city was in an uproar, and rumors were rampant, with people speculating on who the adulterer was. When Emperor Youwu Zhu Yuanwu heard the news, he was even furious and ordered the princess to be executed.
Fortunately, the queen, the prince, and even the Marquis of Jiangnan, Liu Fu, personally petitioned for mercy and sent two million bags of grain. Then, the title of princess was removed and the princess was placed under house arrest. She was never allowed to go out without the emperor's order.
A month later, Princess Anping's mansion is worse than an ordinary merchant's mansion. The door is closed all day long, the steps are covered with dust, and only a side door is left for entry and exit.
Of course, it is impossible for Zhu Yingjun to take the side door.
"See Your Highness the Regent!" In front of the princess's palace, more than a dozen guards saluted, and they exuded a strong aura. They were all of the fifth level.
Zhu Yingjun smiled and nodded, strolling up the steps. He was a six hundred and fifth-level powerhouse, and he controlled half of the power in Kyoto.
"Hurry up and open the door, inform the concubine and princess, and welcome His Highness!"
"Hurry up, if you delay the regent's time, you will be killed!"
"Creak!" The door, which had not been opened for more than a month, was also stained with Zhu Yingjun's light and slowly opened with a harsh sound.
After entering the gate, there is a large courtyard paved with bluestones. Compared with the dust outside, it is much cleaner inside.
It can be seen that the people in the princess's residence are not just messing around.
Two maids with braids led the way through the middle gate of the front courtyard and entered the main courtyard.
Green trees and clear water surrounded the corridor. After walking more than a hundred steps, in front of the living room door, two women, one green and one white, wearing light robes and veils, accompanied by several people, bowed and saluted.
"Jin Qiaoshan, a citizen girl, has met His Royal Highness the Regent!"
"Country girl Zhu Youxi has met His Highness!"
"Brother Zhu Houxiao, I have met my brother!"
Among them was the woman in white, whose lower abdomen was obviously slightly bulging. She was supported by a woman in black behind her while she was saluting.
"Concubine, princess, and third brother, you are too polite!" Zhu Yingjun glanced at the woman in black calmly. He knew this person, Venerable Mu Baihuagu.
Affiliated to the Langya Anti-Magic Division, he was sent to protect Concubine Xi Jin Qiaoshan, but for some unknown reason, he felt more interested in Anping Princess Zhu Youxi?
Zhu Yingjun didn't think much, and politely handed over to the woman in green: "Concubine Xi, Your Majesty has restored your position as a concubine. You can return to the palace at any time. You can't call yourself a commoner in the future!"
Concubine Xi Jin Qiaoshan said softly: "Your Highness, ordinary women are not blessed enough to bear the title of concubine. Now I only ask for your mercy and let my mother and son return home."
"The imperial concubine is joking, this city of Kyoto is your hometown, why do you want to return home?
Besides, your nephew King Langya is so powerful and powerful, who dares to make you unhappy?" Zhu Yingjun waved his hands with a smile and walked into the hall first: "Let's talk inside!"
Concubine Xi and Princess Anping looked at each other and then walked into the hall. Everyone sat down and the maid served tea.
Zhu Yingjun picked up the tea cup. It was green, clear, and fragrant. He smelled it, but did not drink it. He mused: "If Concubine Xi really wants to leave Kyoto City, it is not impossible. As long as King Langya agrees, she will leave before the winter comes."
March into the Central Plains.
When the time comes, I will personally send someone to take the concubine, mother and son to Langya!"
"What do you want me to do, write a letter to Hao'er?" Jin Qiaoshan raised his eyes, his tone was calm, without any fluctuation.
Zhu Yingjun frowned slightly, feeling something was wrong in his heart. Concubine Xi's expression was too calm, as if she already knew her purpose?
However, at this time, even if he felt something was wrong, he could only continue. There was still more than a month before the onset of winter, and he had to hold back Li Wenhao.
He nodded and said: "Yes, this is exactly what I mean!"
Jin Qiaoshan smiled softly, took out a letter from the ring on his hand, and put it on the coffee table: "I have already written the letter. I think my nephew will definitely nod in agreement when he sees this letter."
"Okay, that's great!" Zhu Yingjun looked happy and was about to get up to get the letter and read it.
Jin Qiaoshan stretched out his hand and pressed the letter: "Wait a minute, there is another girl who is going to go, I want to take Anping with me!"
"Take Princess Anping with you?" Zhu Yingjun was a little confused.
"That's right!" Jin Qiaoshan continued: "During this period of time, thanks to Anping taking us in, my mother and son have a place to stay.
Since you don't want to see her, why don't you let her leave with me so that you can have some peace and quiet and Anping can live a relaxed life for a few days."
"Empress!" Anping Princess Zhu Youxi's eyes turned red, she covered her mouth and cried softly.
During this period, she was living a very miserable life due to overwhelming rumors and severe physical discomfort.
Fortunately, Concubine Xi brought Gu Baihua to live in the princess's mansion. Otherwise, she might have been unable to hold on any longer and committed suicide.
"Okay, I promise you!" Zhu Yingjun looked at the crying Princess Anping with a rare feeling of compassion.
Anyway, it was an insignificant useless princess. After she left, just as Concubine Xi said, everyone would be clean.
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Jin Qiaoshan stood up and bowed seriously.
"I bid farewell!" Zhu Yingjun picked up the letter and read it again, relieved.
There is nothing wrong with this letter. After the death of Li Wenhao's mother, Concubine Xi took care of Li Wenhao. As an aunt, it is rare for an aunt to be able to do this.
Even he felt sad when he saw it. Thinking about it, as long as Li Wenhao still had some conscience, he couldn't ignore Concubine Xi's comfort.
After leaving the hall, Zhu Yingjun was in a good mood. He came to the shade of a tree in the front yard and was not in a hurry to leave.
Not long after, a young figure hurried over.
"Brother Wang, I kept you waiting for a long time!" Zhu Houxiao touched the hot sweat on his forehead with a silly smile on his face.
"No problem!" Zhu Yingjun waved his hand and lowered his voice: "Have you heard any news during this period, or has any stranger secretly contacted the imperial concubine?"
"There are no strangers?"
Zhu Houxiao shook his head first, then his eyes lit up and he said eagerly: "But once, I heard my mother and Anping talking in private, and they seemed to mention the child and Li Wenhao!"
