Prince Consort

Prince Gong guarded the northern border forever, and rarely appeared in courtiers' memorials.After all, there is a lot of chaos in northern Xinjiang, and there is such a Yan Luo Town there, so everyone can feel at ease.But after all, King Qi is a member of the royal family, and King Gong's behavior will undoubtedly make many people's necks shudder.

Even the prince said chop it up, so if they fell into the hands of Prince Gong, wouldn't they be decapitated as well?

Not long after, the flying slave sent by Prince Gong flew back with Prince Gong's handwritten letter, and the tone of the letter was very direct: "Whoever dares to communicate with foreign enemies will chop up every one he sees."

Zhao Ying knew that Prince Gong was remembering what happened back then, if someone hadn't cooperated with the outsiders, they wouldn't have been forced to split up.

This is Prince Gong's reverse scale.

Zhao Ying sat in the hall for a long time, wrote an understatement reprimand letter, and got a group of envoys to "face-to-face reprimand" Prince Gong.This flimsy handling made many people puzzled. After Tan Wuqiu knew about it, he took the initiative to enter the palace to beg to see Zhao Ying.

Zhao Ying and Tan Wuqiu sat opposite each other for a long time, and finally said: "Do you want to go to northern Xinjiang?"

Tan Wuqiu said: "If King Qi had just fled, he would not have killed him directly. I think it's weird."

Zhao Ying said, "You know him well." He unfolded Prince Gong's letter and handed it over, "He wrote it."

Tan Wuqiu took it and took a look, and immediately realized something was wrong."It's not his handwriting, although it's very similar," he said.

Zhao Ying was silent for a moment, then said: "Northern Xinjiang has also produced talents over the years, advocating the study of Central Plains law and art of war, bringing together grassland people who were originally just a mass of scattered sand. Such grassland people are enough to be called" Guo', if you give them a chance to recuperate, Beidi will definitely be a strong enemy of Daqing. Although the seventh brother beheaded the fleeing people on the spot this time, he was also injured on his right arm, making it difficult to write. Linjun, if you I can rest assured that I can go to northern Xinjiang, but your body..."

Tan Wuqiu didn't know whether Zhao Ying's reassurance was referring to Prince Gong or Beidi, or both, but he still answered seriously: "I'm completely cured, there will be no problem."

Zhao Ying glanced at Tan Wuqiu's determined expression, and agreed to his request to let him set off with the mission.

When Tan Wuqiu returned to his residence, he asked Xiao Xia to help pack his simple luggage. Old Yang saw him and asked, "Are you leaving the capital?"

Tan Wuqiu nodded.

Old Yang said, "Don't let me follow?"

Tan Wuqiu said, "You promised to treat Yan Ning."

Old Yang said, "I've already cured her."

Tan Wuqiu said: "A situation like Yan Ning's needs long-term recuperation—"

Old Yang sneered and interrupted: "What about you? Your body doesn't need it? If I knew this, why should I save you? It's a waste of time!"

Tan Wuqiu said: "I am already cured. With the wheelchair and crutches made by Sanlang, I can do most of the things that ordinary people can do. Could it be that I came back alive from the Palace of Hades just to hide in the capital?" Live a comfortable life? If His Majesty nods, Brother Xie will definitely go to Western Xinjiang..."

Mr. Yang said, "I don't care where he goes, so what does it matter to me?" After speaking, he turned and went inside, fiddling with the medicine jars.

Tan Wuqiu sighed.

Xiao Xia looked at Tan Wuqiu, then at Old Yang, and finally packed Tan Wuqiu's things seriously before going in to find Old Yang.

Old Yang didn't speak.

Xiao Xia walked up to him and said, "Master, I will be by Mr. Tan's side."

Mr. Yang turned to the other side to work.

Xiao Xia continued his efforts: "Master, I think Mr. Tan is right. If something happens at the border, the whole country will suffer..."

Mr. Yang snorted: "You can't suffer from a cripple like him!"

Shrimp showed off his newly-learned truth: "How can there be eggs under an overturned nest!"

Mr. Yang put the big medicine box he packed on the table heavily: "When he stabilizes the nest, he will be dead long ago, so what's the matter?"

Shrimp shut up obediently.

Elder Yang said sullenly, "You take this box of medicine with you. If there is any emergency, you can deal with it. Prince Gong has a flying slave. If you really have no choice, you can use the flying slave to inform me."

Xiao Xia happily said: "I knew you, Master, are the best!"

Xie Zean was also in the East Palace when Tan Wuqiu bid farewell to Zhao Chongzhao.

Hearing that Tan Wuqiu wanted to go north, Xie Ze'an was taken aback: "Mr. Tan is leaving?"

Zhao Chongzhao also asked, "What about Mr. Yang?"

Tan Wuqiu said, "Uncle Yang won't leave."

Xie Ze'an said, "Then, your body..."

Tan Wuqiu said: "I'm already healed, just like your grandfather, do you think he needs someone to follow him at any time? And Uncle Yang asked Xiao Xia to follow me." He smiled lightly, "Sanlang, you don't have to worry about me, I I regret my life very much, if it really doesn't work, I will never force myself to do so. His Majesty also agreed, so I came to say goodbye to His Highness."

Xie Ze'an felt a little sorry, Tan Wuqiu was a good teacher and helpful friend, and he gave him a lot of advice during this time.

The same goes for Zhao Chongzhao, but when he heard Zhao Ying nod his head, he knew that the matter was a foregone conclusion, so he could only agree to let him go.

Xie Ze'an was about to leave the palace, so he said to Tan Wuqiu, "I'll take you back, Mr. Tan."

Zhao Chongzhao reluctantly watched them leave.

Xie Ze'an pushed Tan Wuqiu out, and when he was out of Zhao Chongzhao's sight, Tan Wuqiu said, "Sanlang, how is your relationship with Yan Ning?"

Xie Ze'an said, "Yan Ning is quite obedient."

Tan Wuqiu paused, and did not continue this topic.

Along the way, Xie Ze'an took the opportunity to ask Tan Wuqiu a lot of things, and Tan Wuqiu answered them one by one. When he saw the residence, he laughed: "Sanlang, you are trying to squeeze out the last bit of value from me."

Xie Ze'an said: "Mr. Tan was joking. I just don't want you to leave. Northern Xinjiang is so far away. It takes more than half a month for the urgent letter to arrive." He rolled his eyes, "The news from His Highness Prince Gong came back so quickly. , Could it be that he also raises flying slaves? How about I go to my uncle to ask for some, and I can ask Mr. Tan for advice if I have anything!"

Tan Wuqiu could not stop smiling when he heard his uncle calling.

He said: "If you can get it, then go ask uncle Guo."

Xie Ze'an said: "That's the deal! Mr. Tan, you have to write me back when the time comes."

Tan Wuqiu readily agreed.

Xie Zean returned home and played chess with Princess Yanning again.

There was going to be a storm in the court, but it turned back to a calm state in the blink of an eye. Some people felt relieved and some felt sorry.

King Qi's father and son were put to death, Yang Xun, who was the first to sue, returned home safely, and Xie Qian, who pleaded guilty, was also spared the death penalty. After reconciling with the eldest princess, he was exiled to the south and never returned to Beijing.

When Xie Qian was escorted to the south, Princess Chang went to see him off. She had no choice but to go out of the city to see him off because of her husband and wife.

It happened that the missions going north also stopped in front of the city gate, and all the missions stamped their feet to bid farewell to their families.

Xie Ze'an also came to see Tan Wuqiu off, he was stunned when he saw the princess and Xie Qian, and subconsciously looked at Tan Wuqiu.

When Xie Qian saw Xie Ze'an, he was a little happy, thinking that he was a blood relative after all...

Xie Qian was about to speak, but Xie Ze'an had already nodded to him and the eldest princess, and then calmly walked towards Tan Wuqiu.

The eldest princess knew that Xie Ze'an was full of disgust for Xie Qian, and she still couldn't bear to see Xie Qian's disappointed and painful expression. She paused for a long time, and went up to talk to Xie Ze'an: "Sanlang, he is your biological father after all..."

Tan Wuqiu heard the voice of the eldest princess for the first time in 18 years, and looked up, only to see the eldest princess with compassion on her face.He originally wanted to say a few words, "People who abandon their wives and sons and betray their country for glory still talk about having a father and not having a father", but he held back.After all, she and Xie Qian were a husband and wife. They slept together for seven or eight years, much longer than their marriage. Even with Xie Qian's behavior, she was still able to see her off, which shows that there is a deep affection between them.

What he said would only make her angry.

Tan Wuqiu said: "Sanlang, go and meet him."

Xie Ze'an was not very happy, not to mention that Xie Qian had nothing to do with him in his heart, even if he was there, he would not want to see him.He remembered that when he went to see his "biological father", he was disgusted by the other party's unrepentant remarks for a long time. Some people are hopeless, why waste time for them?

But when Tan Wuqiu spoke, Xie Zean could only say, "Okay."

The eldest princess stood still and didn't go over, and didn't speak.

Tan Wuqiu sat quietly in the wheelchair, staring at his immobile right knee.

At this time, all the members of the mission had finished saying goodbye to their families, and came to ask Tan Wuqiu if he wanted to leave.

Tan Wuqiu said: "His Royal Highness, please tell Tan and Sanlang that Tan will go ahead and don't have to send them off."

The eldest princess didn't know the relationship between Tan Wuqiu and Xie Ze'an, so she nodded and agreed, and said goodbye casually: "Sir, have a good journey."

Tan Wuqiu forced a faint smile: "His Highness accepts the auspicious words."

The chariots and horses of the mission drove slowly to the north.

Xie Ze'an and Xie Qian didn't say anything, Xie Qian looked extremely depressed, but he acted like a "father" in front of Xie Qian, and told Xie Ze'an to manage well, and in the future he must honor his ancestors.

Xie Ze'an just listened but didn't talk.

Soon, the guard escorting Xie Qian said that the time had come and it was time to go on the road.

The eldest princess came over and took a look at Xie Qian.

Xie Qian said: "Your Highness, my affection for you is true."

The eldest princess paused and said, "Treasure."

Xie Qian thought he was cool, turned around and followed the guards away.

Xie Ze'an admired the eldest princess's self-cultivation, and if he was in the position of the eldest princess, he would never come to see him off.Not to mention listening to Xie Qian say "I have affection for you", obviously relying on the identity of the son-in-law to collude with the enemy and betray the country, how dare you talk about affection?

The princess is Yan Ning's aunt after all, Xie Ze'an can't ask her if there is something wrong with her head in front of her face, so she can only ask: "Mr. Tan has already set off?"

The eldest princess nodded and said, "Just now, he asked me to tell you."

Knowing Tan Wuqiu's true identity, Xie Ze'an couldn't help feeling sorry for Tan Wuqiu and the eldest princess.

I don't know whose fault it is for this ending of not knowing each other.From the perspective of the eldest princess, the former consort had been dead for 18 years, and it was not her fault that she remarried Xie Qian ten years later; from the perspective of Tan Wuqiu, she was already dead, and the eldest princess had Xie Qian again It is right for this son-in-law not to recognize each other.Those onlookers can't tell the eldest princess even if they know the truth. After all, even if they tell them, it will be difficult for them to reunite.

Xie Ze'an lowered his eyes and asked, "Auntie, can you stop by the girls' school?"

The eldest princess said, "Alright."

The two borrowed horses from the post station and rode to the western suburbs together.

Before approaching the location of the women's school, I suddenly heard a joyful call: "Sanlang! Auntie! You are coming too? I'll come with my father to have a look at this new school!"

Xie Ze'an and the eldest princess looked up and saw Zhao Ying leading the horse, followed by Zhao Chongzhao waving at them with joy.

For some reason, both the eldest princess and Xie Ze'an had an idea in their hearts: it is really rare for the royal family to have such a lively and funny baby.

Because of its rarity, it is particularly touching.

At this time, Tan Wuqiu went to the north and Xie Qian went to the south, because of their own choices, they both went to their predetermined destinations.
