Nine days before the wedding of King Yu

Since the marriage of King Yu was confirmed, the palace of King Yu has been crowded with royal relatives, civil servants and generals, and even Emperor Liang’s rewards were sent to the mansion. Fortunately, the wing room where Xuan Shaoning was located was not affected by the noise in the most remote corner of the mansion.

More than half a month has passed since he returned to Beijing. After a series of social events, he finally got free. Even Yanzhi returned to Mobei with the Xuanjia Army. Xuan Shaoning was left by King Yu again as he was last time. However, he was a martial artist who was a martial artist who could not help at all in this royal wedding. The only thing he could do was to disturb him as little as possible. However, Xuan Shaoning instinctively felt that King Yu was not as happy as ordinary people, but was a little melancholy. Open the side door of the royal palace, Xuan Shaoning quietly came to the street and walked towards Leng Yuezhai.

"Your heroic performance in the battle to destroy Hu has spread throughout the capital. You are here to be a great glory for me, Leng Yuezhai!"

"Wantong, don't make fun of me."

"The Master will come too!"

"Oh?" Xuan Shaoning widened his eyes, "Is it true?"

"Do you think I am like Xiao Moyan? This was told by Senior Brother Ye Kai in person."

"That's great!" I was always worried about Master. Although I planned to take the time to go back to Qingshan Academy to take a look, I was delayed again and again. I really had to apologize to Master. "By the way, where is Moyan?"

"Like Ke Ran, we are preparing for His Highness Yu's marriage!" Qi Wantong joked, "But you, as the deputy general of Yu, are so free."

Xuan Shaoning shook his head and smiled bitterly: "To be honest, I can't figure out why Your Highness keeps me by my side. I can't help at all."

"Some people feel at ease just because they can help, but because they are by their side." Qi Wantong's seemingly heartless words inadvertently touched Xuan Shaoning, and a light suddenly flashed in her chaotic thoughts. Is it really so important for King Yu?

Seeing Xuan Shaoning stunned, Qi Wantong shook her hand in front of him and reminded: "You may find an opportunity to remind King Yu that at the critical moment of victory in Daliang, Tang sent the princess to marry him. The profound meaning of this must be observed."

"What? Do you think there is something wrong with this wedding?" Xuan Shaoning was quite surprised.

"It's not that I think it's because Senior Brother Ye Kai mentioned it when he came to me before. It was the suspicion they and his master had after analyzing the information. Therefore, since then, I have also made the singers pay attention."

“How come you get?”

Qi Wantong shook her head, "The Master is always cautious in his work. If you come today, I will just convey it. After all, compared to the other princes, I also think that King Yu is the most suitable candidate for the throne."

Eight days before the wedding of King Yu

On the southwest border of Daliang, there is a Shensha military camp at the head of Jinchang City. Dan Tai Guizong, who is over 50 years old, stands in the distance and looks fifty miles south of Jinchang City. He is the territory of the Lower Tang Dynasty. As the general of Qianwei, he has been guarding the southwest for more than ten years. His Dan Tai family has been thriving on this land for more than a hundred years. By his generation, he is already the seventh generation.

As a non-official family, the Dan Tai family rose in the battle of the Tang Dynasty a hundred years ago. After the war, the ancestors of Dan Tai stayed in the southwest as soldiers guarding the border. His descendants gradually built the family into the first family in the southwest with their military merits, which was as good as the chieftain of the southwest. Even the governor of the southwest had to give in to the three points when he met the leader of the Dan Tai. The third-rank general of the Thousand Guards of Dan Tai Guizong was already the most prominent military position in the family. But what really made his status unshakable was that his daughter married the current crown prince and became the crown prince's concubine.

The Dan Tai family transformed into a royal relative. What a glory it is! This is the closest time to power in the Dan Tai family for more than a hundred years. It was once that Dan Tai Guizong was ambitious, but just ten months ago, the news came from the capital: the prince was confined, and for this reason, Dan Tai Guizong used all the connections in the North Korea-China relationship to help secretly. He saw the turn of opportunity coming, but who knew that after King Yu came back from victory and Emperor Liang became more and more disgusted with the prince. The prince's situation turned sharply. He had not received a letter from his precious daughter for half a month.

Alas...Dan Tai Guizong sighed deeply. What made him suffer the most at this moment was no longer the threat of the Tang Dynasty but the status of the prince. It was directly connected to the fate of the family. But he had not received a letter from his daughter Dan Tai Xiru after half a month. Dan Tai Guizong was six feet tall, and his years of battles on the battlefield had trained him to have tiger arms and beards, his body with a huge fist and beard, and his facial features on his red face were as rough as his physique. The enlarged version of Zijiao armor wrapped around his body fully demonstrated the demeanor of the general.

"General, letter from the capital city!" An escort presented a gray pigeon. Dan Tai Guizong only glanced at it and realized that this was not the Chunan pigeon commonly used by the Dan Tai family. Although he was confused, when he heard that it was from the capital city, he immediately took the pigeon and untied the tiny copper tube from his claws. Looking closely, he could find that the word "ling" was engraved on the copper tube.

"Go down!" After the guards walked away, Dan Tai Guizong carefully opened the copper tube and threw out the letter wrapped inside, which was only as thick as a silver needle. When he opened it, he saw that King Yu was powerful and the prince was in danger, and Xiru was not at the moment. He just held the note into his hand. Dan Tai Guizong began to think that this copper tube was not something that the people could see, but was the yellow tungsten iron specially forged by Shanggongfang for the royal family. The engravings showed that the letter came from King Ling. The meaning of King Ling's letter was very clear. King Yu's strong rise had already threatened the position of the prince's Eastern Palace, and Xiru had nothing to do with the protection of King Ling.

Based on the information he had in the past year, Dan Tai Guizong agreed with the view of King Ling. After regaining Yinzhou and exterminated Donghu, King Yu had already been deeply loved by Emperor Liang. On the other hand, the prince was confined to the wrong behavior for more than a month. Emperor Liang accepted that the marriage of the Tang Dynasty wanted to hold a grand wedding for King Yu himself and join the title of King Wuzhu Prince of Yu. One day he took the crown prince and replaced him is not an exaggeration! If that day really came, Xiru's fate could be imagined. Although the Dan Tai family would not be implicated immediately, it would be impossible to maintain its current status.

No! Absolutely not! The ancestors took more than a hundred years to get the status and power of the family. The current family's status and power must not be ruined in his hands! Dan Tai Guizong's nervous chest was fluctuating. Then he thought, his family had very little contact with King Ling, so why did King Ling help this time? By the way, he was also coveting the throne! However, King Ling was different from King Xiang and King Yu. He had no foundation in the army. This time he helped him and wanted to sell him a favor to the Dan Tai family to lay the foundation for the future. Hum, he had a good plan! However, his power in the court is not very strong. If he wants to help the prince suppress King Yu, he really has to rely on another prince.

In just one stick of incense, Dan Tai Guizong had already thought about this game clearly. He had to keep the position of Prince's Eastern Palace, Xiru's life, and the glory of the Dan Tai family. He could only choose to cooperate with the King of Ling to deal with the common enemy.

"Xiru, you must hold on! My father will do his best to help you overcome difficulties and keep your position as the Crown Princess. You are the queen of Daliang in the future!"

Seven days before the wedding of King Yu

"Bold! Retreat, who dares to stop me!" Xiru roared at a group of eunuchs blocking in front of Hanliang Hall of the East Palace: "I am the princess. Now there is no food in the palace. Whoever gives you the courage to starve the prince to death! I am going to meet Your Majesty now. If you dare to stop me, you will be killed immediately!"

Xiru kicked over several eunuchs kneeling at her feet and struggled to lift the door bolt, but immediately more eunuchs rushed in front of the door, neither fighting back nor saying anything. They were kneeling down in a slight way. Xiru, a woman, could not open the palace gate no matter how hard she tried. In a rage, Xiru raised her hand and slapped the eunuchs, but no matter how she beat her, until the pain of her palm was numb, the eunuchs remained motionless.

"You!" Xiru was anxious and angry, and tears began to roll in her eyes, but she turned around and saw her husband sitting at the threshold, the husband who was not dressed and crying at the door with tears on her face. Xiru always understood that her husband was not a manly person, but for the sake of her family's status, she could only slowly cultivate herself into what she is today in the days of resignation. At this moment, she hoped that her husband could stand behind her. Even if she had a word of comfort, even if she hugged herself, she felt that she was not lonely.

Xiru raised her head and tried hard to force her tears back. She couldn't give up! She was responsible for the fate of the Dan Tai family, and she could never give up easily!

"Xiru..." The prince spoke, his voice was filled with fear of being unable to hide. "I'm hungry... Xiru..."

Xiru took back her head looking up and raised her hands, calmly walked past the kneeling eunuch and came to the prince's side, squatted down slowly, smiled, and said gently: "Your Highness, you are Your Highness, don't cry in front of these servants. I will go to the kitchen to make some food for you. Your Highness first returns to the palace. After eating later, I will serve Your Highness and tidy up your clothes?"

The prince nodded aggrievedly, Xiru stood up again and walked towards the kitchen, a place she had to go several times a day, but she knew there was nothing to eat there.

Standing at the door of the kitchen, Xiru looked at the messy kitchen that had been turned over, and the pain in her heart surged up again.

"Empress, I will meet you!"

Xiru turned around and saw a maid who was very handsome and bowed to her. Her anger ignited again, "How? I can't even enter the kitchen in my palace!"

"Empress Dowager!" The maid suddenly raised her head, "Empress Dowager, I was sent by General Dan Tai."

What! In an instant, Xiru thought she had heard it wrong. She had been disconnected from the same palace for half a month. Now her father has sent someone to sneak in?

"My lady, don't worry, this is the food I stole from my servant." The maid took off a bag from behind and handed it to Xiru and said, "The general wants me to take good care of the empress. The general wants me to tell me, 'The Crescent Ya must hold on, my father must find a way to take care of my health!"

Xiru, who was already a little suspicious, completely removed the last line of defense in her heart, Crescent! Yes, Crescent is her nickname, which was given to her by her father. Her father once said that she was like the bright moon in the southwest, and the time of Xuanyue was the most beautiful. Only the closest people in the Dantai Mansion knew about this nickname!

"Father!"

"Empress, it's not easy for me to sneak into the palace, and I don't have much to bring. This food is enough for the Empress to eat with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for a few days, and I will come again in the future."

Xiru took the package, and before she could open it, she looked around and made sure that no one was there before she whispered: "You should leave quickly, come here next time, we will be here. We will be in three days in Shenshi."
