A few days later, Sheng Hong also received a secret report from Beijing.
After reading the secret report, Sheng Hong frowned and did not open his mouth for a long time.
Who wants to harm King Ping?
Ah Luo, who was just a toddler, staggered up to Sheng Hong and reached out to hug him: "Dad, hug him!"
In a few days, A'luo will be one year old. A'luo is articulate and can speak simple words. Sheng Hong immediately put the letter aside and picked up A'luo with a smile: "Okay, daddy will hug you."
Sheng Hong was very strong and could easily hold Ah Luo and spin him around in the air several times.
A Luo couldn't stop giggling.
Brother You on the side looked at Sheng Hong with longing eyes: "Hug, Feifei."
The Shu region has beautiful mountains and clear waters and a pleasant climate. After Brother You came to Shu, he adapted well. Except for an occasional minor illness, he had no serious problems.
Sheng Hong also liked the quiet and obedient Brother You. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Okay, I'll hold you Feifei."
Nowadays, the civil affairs affairs are going smoothly, and everything in the military camp is on track. Sheng Hong is no longer as busy as he was at the beginning. Every few days, he will stay in the mansion to rest for a day and spend some time with him.
Wife and daughter. Xie Mingxi and Lin Weiwei went to the academy today, and Sheng Hong stayed with A Luo and Brother You.
A Luo was accompanied by two wet nurses and four maids, and there were many people waiting on Brother You. A group of people watched His Highness the King of Shu coaxing the two children to play happily, and they were filled with emotion.
In everyone's mind, men have to do big things. In ordinary people's homes, it is also the woman's job to take care of children, and few men are willing to stay with young children.
His Highness the King of Shu loves little Princess Aluo very much. When he is busy and has no time to accompany her, he feels guilty. Whenever he has time, he will definitely accompany her.
Princess Aluo has a domineering temperament. When she saw her father holding Brother You, she was a little unhappy and shouted: "Dad! Hug!"
Sheng Hong raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Okay, daddy, let's hug you together."
Anyway, he is very strong and can hold a child in one hand without feeling tired.
A Luo and Brother You were held in circles together, dancing happily. When they got tired of playing, the nannies brought over egg custard specially prepared for the children.
Sheng Hong took the bowl and patiently fed A Luo custard.
Brother You couldn't compete with A Luo this time, so he looked at him a little aggrievedly, and then silently let the wet nurse feed him custard. A Luo ate quickly, and after finishing, Sheng Hong fed Brother You some custard again.
After Ah Luo had eaten, she stopped making fuss and happily played on Sheng Hong's lap.
When Xie Mingxi and Lin Weiwei returned home, they saw this harmonious and beautiful scene.
Lin Weiwei couldn't help but smile and sigh: "I didn't expect that His Highness would like to spend time with children so much." Looking at that gentle, careful and extremely patient look, even she was not as good as herself.
Xie Mingxi stared at her husband-in-law, who had a gentle smile on his face and raised the corners of his mouth.
…
After lunch, A Luo was picked up to take a nap, and the couple had a chance to be alone.
Sheng Hong sent a secret report to Xie Mingxi: "Concubine Li died of illness, and Prince Ping secretly hid a dagger in his sleeve and stabbed the queen." These few words were shocking.
Xie Mingxi suppressed her smile, read the secret report carefully, and then said calmly: "There must be someone secretly causing trouble in this matter."
"Prince Ping was young and impulsive. When someone instigated him, he regarded Empress Xiao as his enemy. He wanted to 'avenge' Concubine Li. If he hurt Empress Xiao, Emperor Jian'an would not spare Prince Ping. Once this matter spread, Emperor Jian'an would
It will give you a bad reputation for killing your brothers and sisters.
"Although the King of Ningxia is under house arrest in the imperial mausoleum, he still has power in the court. After learning about this, he will definitely take measures to protect King Ping."
"This plan not only plotted against King Ping of Ningxia, but also plotted against Emperor Jian'an. It can be described as extremely clever!"
Sheng Hong was silent for a moment and then sighed: "King of Lu, King of Min."
The mastermind behind this must be one of them.
King An was only nine years old and had been growing up in the palace. This matter should have nothing to do with him.
A hint of coolness flashed in Xie Mingxi's eyes: "Maybe the two of them have secretly joined forces."
"How is this possible?" Sheng Hong retorted subconsciously.
"How is it impossible?" Xie Mingxi twitched the corner of her mouth and looked coldly: "How can one person compete with the emperor who has more than ten thousand people? King Lu and King Min joined forces in private, and they have the power to fight."
A hard fight.
These four words are terrifying to think about.
Emperor Jian'an refused to allow the vassal king to join the vassal, so he insisted on leaving King Lu and others in the capital, and tried every possible means to frustrate him.
Concubine Li died. King Ping didn't know how she would be dealt with, and King Ningxia didn't know how he would react. King Lu and King Min each had their own thoughts in mind, and they didn't know what methods they would use secretly...
A glimmer of light flashed in Sheng Hong's eyes, and he looked at Xie Mingxi intently: "Mingxi, in your opinion, when will there be chaos in the capital?"
Xie Mingxi thought for a moment and then said slowly: "It may take one or two years at the earliest, or three to five years at the earliest! In short, you and I must be mentally prepared. We must also be prepared to be affected."
Although he has left the capital, it does not mean that he is absolutely safe. Once the capital is in chaos, the King of Shu, as the vassal king, will definitely be involved in the whirlpool.
Sheng Hong nodded: "Don't worry, I will recruit private soldiers as soon as possible and conduct emergency training."
Not to mention the political competition, having soldiers and talents in hand is the most practical thing.
Xie Mingxi hummed, and then said softly: "Remember to write a letter to the mother-in-law. She is in the palace, and when she saw that Concubine Li died of illness, she might not be feeling well."
…
The weather is getting cooler soon.
After the burial of Concubine Li, the concubines in the palace each fell ill. Concubine Duan, who was not yet thirty years old, was the most seriously ill. The young Prince An did not even go to the academy and stayed in front of the bed all day.
disease.
Empress Dowager Yu could clearly see Concubine Duan's little thoughts and was too lazy to expose them, so she allowed Prince An to stay in the palace.
When mother and son were alone in private, Concubine Duan dared to choke out and warn: "From now on, you should be more honest and peaceful. Your father is no longer here, and now it is your third brother who is sitting on the throne."
"He is a petty-minded person who loves to hold grudges. He has no sympathy for his brothers and sisters."
"The Queen suffered some flesh injuries, so he went through the palace of Prince Ping and tortured and interrogated everyone around Prince Ping one by one. In the end, he did not find out what happened. In a rage, he actually beat all the maids to death.
Dozens of human lives were lost in the blink of an eye."
"Now, poor Prince Ping is under house arrest in the palace. After taking Ruanjin San, he couldn't walk a few steps and became completely weak. There are always people around him, and he has three meals a day. But Prince Ping is stubborn and refuses to eat.
There is no one to persuade me, and I don’t know how many days I can last if I continue like this.”
"I don't know how many more troubles will arise in this palace. Don't go to the academy to study. Just stay by my side. I can always take care of you if I keep my eyes open..."
I cried while talking.
Prince An's handsome, slightly plump face was also full of hesitation and fear, and he leaned against Concubine Duan's head and sobbed softly together.
