Get pregnant soon, and beauties will have many happy pregnancies
Chapter 574: The Deposed Princess Strikes Back at the Female General 21
Ji Yunhuan finally remembered that there was such a person.
The emperor had many children, but the empress had no legitimate son. The emperor's favorite was the seventh prince, Yuwen Rui, born to Concubine Xiao, and he was named Prince Rui at an early age.
The eighth prince Yuwen Yi was born to Concubine Jiang. In name, Concubine Jiang was the daughter of a minor official in Jiangnan, but in fact she was a famous prostitute favored by the emperor when he went to the south of the Yangtze River. The emperor was intrigued by her at that time, and it happened that the girl was pregnant, so he made an exception and brought her back to the capital and gave her a small title of concubine.
Even if she gave birth to a prince and raised him until he reached adulthood, this woman would still be just a noble lady, not even the head of a palace.
Later, Yuwen Yi went to the battlefield by chance. To put it bluntly, the emperor did not love his son and sent him out to boost morale. Yuwen Yi fought hard for several years and made many military achievements. He was named King Yi and also earned a concubine position for his mother.
Although he had made many military achievements, the emperor still did not like his son. Three years ago, the State of Chen avenged the Duke's Mansion and sent troops to the State of Zijing. They lost the first battle, and the emperor was furious and used this as an excuse to strip Prince Yuwen Yi of his title.
Although the war was finally won, the emperor did not reward Yuwen Yi much. Instead, he stationed him at the border to guard the city, and he only went back a few times throughout the year.
Ji Yunhuan sighed, "If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten that the emperor had this son. In the past three years, it seems that there is no such person in the capital, and Concubine Jiang is like a transparent person in the palace. It's really not easy for this mother and son."
"Let's go find General Yi. Without any evidence, will he believe us?"
Wu Jie scratched his head. "Actually, I know very little about this Eighth Prince. Your father is mainly in charge of the northern border. The Eighth Prince was always in the west before. He should have been transferred here three years ago."
"The Eighth Prince is of too low birth. Not to mention the princes in the capital, even the sons of nobles of higher status don't take him seriously. He also has no support from his relatives. If he dies on the battlefield one day, I'm afraid there won't be any ripples in the capital."
Ji Yunhuan's heart trembled, and the long-lost memories began to gradually become clear.
When King Rui ascended the throne in the previous life, all the princes had a miserable end.
Yuwen Yi seemed to be dead, but no one cared when or how he died, and no one would seek justice for him.
Ji Yunhuan knew about this because he accidentally heard the Queen sigh when he entered the palace.
"Princess Jiang is so pitiful. She was always worried about her son, but at least she still had hope in her heart. Now that the Eighth Prince is gone, she has gone crazy, hugging a rag doll and calling it Yi'er. The emperor is also cruel and has locked her up in the cold palace."
Ji Yunhuan paced on the spot, feeling more and more uneasy. These words were told to her by the Queen during the palace banquet on New Year's Eve, which meant that Yuwen Yi died this year!
Maybe it was because of this accident.
In his previous life, Ji Yunhuan was so focused on fighting Su Ziyan that he paid no attention to border affairs and had no idea what specifically happened in Shanhaiguan. He only remembered that the banquet went on as usual and the capital was still full of singing and dancing.
No matter what, she had to remind Yuwen Yi.
The two soon arrived at the camp in the city.
They did not rush in rashly. There must be capable people in the military camp. If they were caught as spies, no one would believe what they said.
Ji Yunhuan stood at the gate of the camp, looking exhausted. She was wrapped in a black dress, with a small fur hat on her head and a layer of cloth covering her face to protect her from the wind and cold. Even though she was wrapped so tightly, one could still tell at a glance that she was a woman.
"Who are you? This is a military camp, you are not allowed to enter without permission, leave immediately!"
The guard at the door was very conscientious.
Wu Jie came forward to negotiate, "My master has something important to discuss with your general. It concerns the safety of Shanhaiguan. Please inform him."
The guard's eyes fell on Ji Yunhuan, but he quickly looked away, showing disdain, "Do you know who our general is? The general is very busy, and not everyone can see him."
Wu Jie said: "General Yi is the eighth son of His Majesty, and he has made great military achievements. We came here because we admire his reputation and know that the general will not ignore the safety of the people."
The guard waved the spear in his hand, forcing Wu Jie to take a step back. "You also know that the general is a prince, and you really know how to make excuses. You make it sound so high-sounding, but in fact you just want to send women to the general!"
"I have seen many people like you. The general has no wives or concubines in the capital. In the past three years in the northern border, you have been sending women to him one after another. You are not annoyed, but the general is annoyed! The general has come to guard Shanhaiguan, so you should stop trying to get close to the rich and powerful."
"Our general has said that he will not marry or take concubines, so leave now and don't force me to use force!"
A poor prince is nothing in the capital, but in remote areas, he is also a hot commodity. There are always people who want to take a chance. Just by sending a woman over, they can establish a relationship. Why not do it?
There might be some people among them harboring evil intentions, but Yuwen Yi was cautious and did not accept any of them.
Wu Jie grabbed the guard's gun, looking annoyed, "What nonsense are you talking about? Who wants to send a woman to Yuwen Yi? This is the daughter of the Duke's Mansion, you should show some respect!"
Ji Yunhuan took out the token of the Duke's Mansion and handed it over.
Fortunately, I brought it with me when I went out, otherwise I wouldn’t even be able to get through the door now.
The guard was in awe when he saw the token. "So you are one of the Duke's old subordinates. Please wait a moment. I will go and inform you."
Soon, Ji Yunhuan and Wu Jie were invited in.
It is called a reception room, but it is actually just a larger tent. The furnishings inside are very simple, with a table, a few chairs and a huge sand table in the middle.
A soldier brought a pot of tea. The tea was dark brown in color, with large tea leaves floating in the rough porcelain bowl. The main point was that the quantity was large and filling.
Ji Yunhuan had already taken off her veil and hat, with her long hair casually tied behind her head. She sat there with an upright posture and elegant manners, which did not match the coarse porcelain bowl at all.
The soldier scratched the back of his head awkwardly. "It's a bitterly cold borderland, and there's not much good tea. We can only make do with this. Our general will be here soon."
Ji Yunhuan picked up the tea bowl and drank it all in one gulp. The bitter taste spread all over his lips and tongue, but it quenched his thirst and made him feel a little more sober.
She nodded slightly at the soldier, "Thank you."
The soldier waved his hands repeatedly, "You're welcome, it's all my duty."
There were footsteps outside the tent and a rough voice was heard.
"Are you guys trying to frame me? Seeing that we can't win, you made up a lie to coax me back. You couldn't even make up a decent lie. You've been at the border for so long that you don't know what's going on in the capital."
"The young lady of the Ji family has always been weak and sickly since she was young. She has never left the house. I remember that she is now the Princess of Rui. How could she possibly run to such a ghost place? I want to see who is so bold as to dare to show up as the young lady of the Duke's Mansion?"
