RUMOR HAS IT THAT I'M PREGNANT WITH HIS HIGHNESS' CHILD - Chapter 656
Now that she knows that the mother and daughter are safe, Tang Guixi can completely relax.
She asked Xiao Juan to stay in Hengcheng, and she led troops to pursue the retreating Chen army.
During the pursuit, Tang Guixi captured some prisoners of the Chen Army, one of whom happened to be an aide under the commander of the Chen Army.
After some torture, the staff member truthfully explained the reason for their sudden decision to evacuate.
The emperor of Kingdom Chen is old, but he has not established a prince for a long time. Several princes fought to the death for the position of the crown prince.
Among them, the Ninth Prince Han Chengxi is most likely to take over.
At the beginning, he dedicated Princess Tao Ran to Emperor Chen. After entering the palace, Princess Tao Ran was deeply loved by Emperor Chen. She was pregnant last year and gave birth to a little prince, the Sixteenth Prince, half a year ago.
Emperor Chen Kingdom was very happy when he was old and had a son. Regardless of the dissuasion of others, he ordered Princess Tao Ran to be conferred the title of Royal Concubine.
There is an imperial concubine who blows the pillow wind in the ears of the Emperor Chen every day, and speaks kindly to the Ninth Prince Han Chengxi, which makes Han Chengxi feel good in front of the Emperor Chen.
Just when Emperor Chen was about to issue a decree to appoint Han Chengxi as the crown prince, the other princes quit.
The brothers joined hands to launch a palace coup, forcing the emperor to kill Han Chengxi.
Han Chengxi is not a fuel-efficient lamp either.
He had long expected that the brothers would not easily give up their hope of competing for the crown prince, so he placed eyeliners around the other princes in advance.
According to the news sent back through the eyeliner, Han Chengxi already knew about the plans of the other princes to launch a palace change.
He set up an ambush in advance, and when the princes led troops into the palace, trying to use force to coerce the father to order the death of the nine princes, he rushed to rescue them with his troops.
During the scuffle, Han Chengxi pretended to be eager to save people, and “accidentally” killed all those princes.
Emperor Chen Kingdom was paralyzed due to a stroke due to excessive fright, and became a vegetable who could not take care of himself.
A vigorous palace change came to an end.
Everyone thought that the final winner of this game of power was the Ninth Prince Han Chengxi.
However, things are impermanent.
No one expected that Han Chengxi died suddenly in the palace three days later. It is said that he died of a serious illness. No one knew the real reason.
Immediately afterwards, the Emperor of the Chen Kingdom decreed that the imperial concubine be the queen, and the sixteen princes born by her were registered as the princes.
Because the emperor of Chen Kingdom is paralyzed in bed and unable to move, only the queen can take care of her personally.
All affairs in the court, large and small, must be conveyed to the Emperor of Chen Kingdom through the Queen.
In other words, the actual person in charge of the Chen Kingdom Court is the empress.
She was worried that there would be people in Chen who would be unfavorable to the emperor, so she ordered someone to send a secret letter to the general of the Chen army, ordering him to immediately withdraw his troops to cease fighting and withdraw to Chen country as soon as possible.
And this is the real reason why the Chen Army suddenly withdrew its troops.
…
Tang Guixi led the Eastern Expeditionary Army in pursuit all the way.
Chen Jun had no intention of fighting and ran fast.
Within a few tens of days, Tang Guixi drove the Chen Kingdom army out of the border of Liaodong County.
So far, the war that lasted for more than a year has come to an end.
Tang Guixi cut off the flag representing the Chen Army on the wall of Xingning City, and solemnly planted the flag representing the Eastern Expedition Army.
The bright red flag is fluttering in the wind, and the “Tang” on it is extremely eye-catching.
Yu Niao and Xiao Juan, who were far away in Hengcheng, were very happy when they heard about this.
The people rushed to tell each other, weeping with joy.
Coinciding with Xiao Yining’s little friend’s full moon, Xiao Juan waved his big hand and set up a three-day water feast in the city to celebrate the full moon for his precious daughter.
This made the already jubilant Hengcheng even more lively.
Tang Guixi hurried on the road, and finally caught up with his daughter’s full moon wine.
She took out a small and delicate silver lock and put it on Xiao Yining’s neck.
“This is my full moon gift to Xiao Fubao.”
Yu Youyou said with a smile: “It cost you money.”
Tang Guixi laughed: “Little Fubao has brought us great blessings. Thanks to her, our war with Chen Kingdom can be stopped so quickly. What is a small lock?”
Yu Niaoyou said angrily: “Haven’t you already figured it out? This matter has nothing to do with our Fubao, so stop talking nonsense.”
No matter what she said, Tang Guixi believed that it was Fu Bao’s credit.
Later, for some reason, this kind of saying spread.
Once spread to ten, ten to hundreds, the common people actually believed this statement.
On the day of the young year, Yu Niao, Xiao Juan, Min Wang and his son moved out of Hengcheng, and planned to move to Xingning City with Tang Guixi.
The people of Hengcheng reluctantly sent them out of the city gate.
Many of them were calling Xiao Fubao’s name.
“Fubao must be healthy, and will bring more blessings to our Liaodong County in the future!”
“As long as there is Fubao, our Liaodong County will definitely be able to enjoy the weather.”
“When Fubao grows up in the future, he will definitely become a great man like General Tang.”
“Fu Bao Fu Bao! You must bless us!”
…
In the carriage, Xiao Fubao was sleeping soundly in his mother’s arms, ignorant of everything outside the carriage.
Yu Niao looked out through the car window, saw that the people were still following behind, reluctant to leave, and called Fu Bao’s name one after another.
This made Yu Niao could not help but sigh.
“Didn’t someone explain it to everyone? Chen Guo’s sudden retreat has nothing to do with Fu Bao. Fu Bao is just an ordinary child, not as amazing as everyone said.”
Xiao Juan: “It is indeed explained, but the common people don’t believe it.”
Seeing Yu Niaoyou’s distressed look, he explained softly.
“Actually, there is nothing wrong with this. The war has just ended, and a lot of waste is waiting to be done. Many displaced people feel confused about the future. At this time, they need a spiritual sustenance. Tang Guixi deliberately attributed the credit to Fubao, probably because of this consideration One point, the common people believe that Fubao can bring blessings, and they feel that God still cares for them, so they have the confidence to rebuild their homes.”
Yu Niaoyou: “What I’m worried about is that in the future, if everyone finds that Fubao is not as powerful as they expected, they will definitely be extremely disappointed. How will Fubao deal with it then?”
Xiao Juan smiled softly: “Don’t worry, after a long time, everyone gradually returns to the peaceful life before, and everything is back on track, and they will gradually forget what Fu Xing said.”
Yu Niaoyou: “I hope so.”
Seeing that she was still frowning and looking worried, Xiao Juan couldn’t help asking.
“What are you still worried about?”
Yu Niaoyou hesitated again and again, but still expressed the worries hidden in her heart.
“I’m worried about Kingdom Chen. Although they have already retreated, don’t forget that we have a deep quarrel with Princess Tao Ran. Now that she has become the Queen of Kingdom Chen, do you think she will order another attack to retaliate against us?” Liaodong County?”
