The two don’t owe each other

The carriage of Xiao Zhen and others met up with Bai Hao and others who were already waiting there at the next town, put on their horses and galloped towards the capital.

After ten days and ten nights of non-stop journey, we finally arrived in Jin County on the day of the late emperor's funeral.

The Bai family in Jin County has guarded this place for generations. Everyone knows that the Bai family is the last human barrier in the capital, but few people know their true identity as dead soldiers who only obey the emperor's orders.

The head of the Bai family reported the current situation of the palace in front of Xiao Zhen.

"Dad, are you saying that Concubine Jin and His Royal Highness are both under house arrest by the Lu family?" Bai Hao asked his father with a heavy expression.

Bai Shicong nodded: "Yes, the Duke of Lu has a high and powerful position, and he has won the hearts of all the ministers in the court, but the emperor suddenly appointed the fourth son of the emperor as the future ruler of Han. Can they feel balanced?"

"Isn't His Highness the Crown Prince in danger? If they are cruel, then" Bai Hao looked at Xiao Zhen, who was sitting silently: "Madam, what are your countermeasures?"

"No." Xiao Zhen said without thinking, "If something happens to His Royal Highness in the palace, it will appear that your Bai family is too incompetent. Wouldn't it?"

The father and son of the Bai family looked at each other, and Bai Shicong hurriedly said: "Mother, no, madam, the Duke of Nalu and our Bai family were both people who accompanied Taizu when the Han Dynasty was founded. To our Bai family in the palace,

I know the situation very well, and because the late emperor was afraid of you, he asked for help from the Lu family when he secretly trained the Shadow Guards. There are many people from the Duke of Lu's palace among the Shadow Guards, so they kept each other in check and wanted to do something.

It’s difficult.”

The silent little miracle doctor suddenly snorted coldly: "Since the late emperor was so afraid at the beginning, why would he entrust the prince to my sister now?"

The Bai family father and son quickly lowered their heads. It was better not to answer such words.

Xiao Zhen smiled faintly and said: "The late emperor already hated me to the core. When he died, he didn't even want to look at me again. If he didn't kill me at the beginning, I'm afraid he expected the ending like this, and he just used me to contain those important ministers.

"

"He is such a ruthless person, sister, why do you still care about his son?"

"Because Madam keeps her promise." Bai Hao said: "Madam once promised the deceased old general that she would never leave the Emperor or the great man in this life. Even if she leaves, she will definitely come back whenever you are in need and the country is in trouble."

"My mentor, did you even tell you this?" Xiao Zhen looked at Bai Hao in surprise.

"A few years ago, the old general and the young general lived in my Bai family for a period of time, and I accidentally heard him mention it." Bai Hao said with emotion.

The little miracle doctor rolled his eyes. He had been dead for so long and still asked what he was doing. But he also knew in his heart that the elder sister was a very serious person: "Sister, what should you do?"

"I am a warrior and a dead warrior. I only know how to go straight. Political methods can be left to the literati. So besides killing to stop killing, do you have any better way?"

Everyone: ""

Royal Palace.

Xiao Zhen did not expect to enter the palace again.

I didn't expect to see Concubine Jin again, a woman who had sex from time to time.

Concubine Jin had always regarded her as an imaginary enemy. She had always made things difficult for her in the past. She would come over and ridicule her from time to time. Especially after she gave birth to her first son, her arrogant and domineering appearance really wanted to incite others.

she.

Now when we see her again, she is bullied by a group of palace maids.

"If you don't eat, do you really think that you are still the concubine that the emperor dotes on? Bah." The palace man placed the food in his hand heavily on the table in the room: "If I hadn't starved to death,

I also want to be buried with him, who wants to talk to you? Why are you still standing there? Pull the person out and feed him."

Upon hearing this, several palace maids immediately went to the bed to pull Concubine Jin, who was huddled in the corner of the bed.

The moment the curtain was pulled up, Xiao Zhen saw that Concubine Jin was holding a child of about two years old in her hands, who was the prince.

"Which of you dares to touch me? What I am holding in my arms is the current emperor." Concubine Jin has long lost her charming and glamorous appearance in the past. Now her hair is disheveled, her face is pale, and her beautiful phoenix eyes are full of vigilance and vigilance.

fear.

"Emperor? Hahahaha" the maids laughed contemptuously.

"Bullshit emperor, I don't know if your son can be saved."

Soon, Concubine Jin was dragged out by them and force-fed. The palace maid's actions were rough, and she even grabbed the young prince without any scruples.

"Mother, mother," the prince burst into tears.

"Don't take away my son, don't take away my son." The child in her arms was taken away by the palace maid, and Concubine Jin finally became afraid.

"Then beg me." The leading maid grabbed the young prince's collar with one hand and said arrogantly.

Xiao Zhen and Bai Hao, who were hiding in the dark, frowned. Bai Hao was anxious and didn't understand why Xiao Zhen didn't take action yet, so he couldn't help but signal her with his eyes frequently.

Xiao Zhen didn't move, until Concubine Jin knelt down and even climbed under the maids, she didn't move.

Bai Hao couldn't stand it anymore and said angrily: "Madam, what are you waiting for?"

"I was wondering why the late emperor gave me the Phoenix Order instead of the Royal Guards Talisman." Xiao Zhen has actually been thinking about this issue these days.

"It's quite simple. The late emperor wanted you to support His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in his capacity as the empress. That's why the late emperor never abolished the throne, and even said that you went abroad to recuperate your health."

"But as a queen, I don't have any real power. It's difficult to protect myself, let alone protect the prince. Isn't it?"

Seeing that Concubine Jin was still holding her lips, Bai Hao became anxious: "Can we go back and talk about this? We'll save Concubine Jin first."

"cannot."

"Do you have any grudge against Concubine Jin?"

"Although I don't like her a little, I don't have any hatred. She became like this because she failed as a person in the past."

"No matter how good a person she is, once she falls into power, she will still be treated like this. This is the palace."

Xiao Zhen did not deny this: "Go back."

"What?"

"Concubine Jin will not die, and nothing will happen to His Royal Highness. Duke Lu is not a treacherous minister, at least not now. He should have something that he just can't figure out." Xiao Zhen said, and left when everyone was unprepared.

.

After leaving the palace and returning to the Bai family's residence in the capital, Bai Hao was so angry that smoke was rising from his head.

Bai Shicong quickly stepped forward to ask about the situation. As soon as Bai Hao explained the matter, Bai's father didn't know what to do.

On the other hand, the little miracle doctor clapped his hands and said, "Sister, well done. You were not less angry with Concubine Jin before."

"How can I be so narrow-minded?" Xiao Zhen smiled: "Bai Hao, give me the phoenix seal."

Bai Hao was angry, so he went into the house and took out the Phoenix Seal to Xiao Zhen. Seeing that she had been looking at it carefully after taking the Phoenix Seal, he said angrily: "What are you looking at? You should have seen a lot of this thing.

Year, aren’t you familiar with it yet?”

Xiao Zhen continued to look at the phoenix seal, and murmured for a while: "I remember that there was no seam in the middle." As she said that, she exerted force, but she didn't see how hard she used it, and the phoenix seal was suddenly split into two by her.

Already.

The three people in the field shouted and looked at her in disbelief. She actually broke the phoenix seal?

"Sister, there is something hidden in the middle of this seal." The little miracle doctor called out.

The middle of the phoenix seal is empty, and there are two things placed there. One looks like a letter, and the other is

"Soldier talisman?" Bai Shicong exclaimed when he saw the jade carving dragon head hidden in the phoenix seal, "Why is this military talisman here? Shouldn't it already be in the hands of Duke Lu?"

"This means that one of them is fake." Bai Hao whispered, and then he and the little miracle doctor said in unison: "The military talisman in the hands of Duke Lu is fake."

At this time, Xiao Zhen had opened the letter and was reading it. The letter was written by the late emperor to her. It said: "I never thought that one day I would write to you again. After all, I hate you and despise you. You are my

The shame of this life, the great shame. But the one I miss the most is you, even if I know you are here

Where, I know that you and the Prime Minister are married and have children, but I am reluctant to break your peaceful life. You have protected me since I grew up, experienced ups and downs with me, injured me several times, and even endangered your life.

But I killed your brother, and I owe you this."

"I don't know if you can read this letter, but I think you will see this letter and find the real talisman. Since you have no love for me, how can you be greedy for the position of queen again? You must

You will think about why I gave you the phoenix seal instead of the military talisman. My prince, the country will be handed over to you. I hope you will treat me as you did before." A drop of ink is stained here, and the words behind it are unclear.

But I also want to know what he wrote.

Xiao Zhen then looked down: "When you told me that you were a woman and wanted to be my emperor, I panicked. I never thought that the man I regarded as my brother and my teacher would want to sleep with me.

"

Xiao Zhen's hand shook and he almost dropped the letter. He closed his eyes and read on: "I have been loved by many people since I was a child, but I don't actually understand love. I only know that you should protect me, pamper me, and love me."

I deserve this, but no one has ever taught me to love others." At this point in his writing, he no longer used me, but instead used me. I think he must have been extremely conflicted at that time.

"I think that's why we became like this. Perhaps you owed me something in the previous life, so in this life, I graciously let you go and promised you and the Prime Minister a happy marriage for hundreds of years. In the next life, we will not owe each other.
