King Cheng stared blankly ahead.
Yes, from the moment he decided to rebel, there was no turning back.
"When great achievements are achieved, Your Highness can make Princess Yuan the Queen Mother!" Xie Shi'an said slowly, "Other members of the Yuan family can also make them kings and marquises, set up immortal tablets, and receive incense and worship from all the people!"
A trace of determination flashed in King Cheng's eyes.
At this time, Princess Yuan, who was standing on the tower, clearly felt that it was impossible for Lao Liu to look back.
If she hadn't witnessed Lao Liu leading more than 200,000 people to surround the capital, she would never have believed that her son had actually rebelled.
The once willful and ignorant child was able to accomplish such a great undertaking.
She knew that the sixth child had taken the wrong path, but she had already taken the wrong path and could not turn back. How could she, a mother, hold back her child?
Concubine Yuan suddenly broke away from the guards behind her, jumped down from the city wall.
"boom--!"
There was a loud bang.
King Cheng was stunned, then he got off his horse and was about to rush over.
He was grabbed by Xie Shi'an: "Your Highness, be careful of fraud, don't go there!"
He turned around and ordered the soldiers beside him, "You guys, bring the body of Princess Yuan back intact, go quickly!"
The government soldiers quickly stepped forward and brought the body of Princess Yuan back.
"Mother Concubine...Mother Concubine! Ahhh!" King Cheng roared, "Chu Hongyu! Yunchu! You and I are irreconcilable! Just wait for me!"
He held Princess Yuan's body in his own hands and returned to the camp.
He made people dress up Princess Yuan, put her into the most beautiful clothes, and put her in the best coffin. When she sat in that position, he wanted to bury her mother and concubine in the imperial mausoleum with her father.
"Shi'an!" King Cheng said, "You can find a way to contact the great emperor, King Ren. I want to cooperate with him."
The benevolent king, the prince before Chu Yi, went to the fiefdom to establish a vassal state on the third day after he asked to be deposed. The benevolent king's fiefdom was not too far from the capital.
Xie Shi'an shook his head: "Before this, I wrote a letter to King Ni, but King Ni didn't reply. When I wrote the second letter to King Ni, King Ni refused to accept it."
"The eldest brother Jian is a waste!" King Cheng said angrily, "If the eldest brother hadn't abdicated, what would have happened to Chu Yi Yunchu!"
If we could unite with the eldest brother, plus him and Lao Qi, the three orthodox princes of the royal family, we could easily get the support of all the people... What a pity.
He said in a deep voice, "Increase the amount of medicine to make these people willing to charge into battle and officially attack the city gate tomorrow!"
Xie Shi'an nodded: "Yes, I will give the order right away."
They have no food support and are not suitable for a protracted war. They should have stormed the capital long ago.
While preparations were in full swing outside the city, news came from Yun Chu.
"Queen Mother, Yuan and Xie Shikang have been brought back and placed in the suburbs of Beijing." Qiu Tong didn't even change her clothes and was covered in dust. "These two people were hidden in the pig pen by the Xie family and suffered a lot. ... Those members of the Xie family were not loyal to Xie Shian at all, and they handed him over without any effort after giving him a small profit."
Yun Chu said: "You take the Yuan family's ancestors and grandchildren to find Aunt Jiang, and ask Aunt Jiang to come forward to see Tao Guizhi."
Her current status is not suitable for her to come forward.
As for Aunt Jiang, she and Tao Guizhi were both concubines of the Xie Mansion. The two of them had some affection, so it would be best for Aunt Jiang to come forward.
Qiutong nodded and went to do it immediately.
At this time, it was evening, the golden sunset shone down and fell in the yard, and some birds flew over.
Yuanshi sat in the yard holding Xie Shikang, looking up at the sky, feeling filled with emotions for a moment.
Last year, when she learned that Xie Shi'an had returned to Jizhou, she immediately decided to sell the Xie family residence in the capital.
This house was the house that Jing Yu’s family spent everything to buy after she became the top scholar. It is a symbol of the Xie family’s entry into the capital, and it is also the spiritual support of everyone in the Xie family. When it was so difficult, she never thought of selling it. The house... really couldn't survive anymore, so I had to sell everything and return to my hometown in Jizhou.
She originally thought that returning to Jizhou would be a fresh start.
She never expected that Xie Shian would coax away the money she got from selling her house.
That's all, suddenly one day, Xie Shi'an took Brother Kang away and locked him up. For the first time, she scolded Xie Shi'an, her eldest grandson. As a result, she was also locked up and was taken care of by the Xie family.
She and Kang Geer were locked in a pig pen for two full months. In these two months, she never saw the sky or had a full meal.
As of yesterday, she and Kang Geer were rescued.
She knew the person who saved them, the maid beside Yun Chu.
She didn't know why Yun Chu saved her, but it was a good thing after all, because Brother Kang finally saw the sun.
The child was born prematurely and did not grow well in the mother's womb. After the birth, the Xie family was defeated. At first, they could still hire a doctor for treatment, but later they ran out of money to hire a doctor, so they suffered day by day... Fortunately, they grew up slowly. Finally, although Brother Kang was still stupid and stupid, at least he could speak, he could speak a few words, and he could also walk...
"Milk, there are birds flying..."
Xie Shikang said excitedly, pointing to the sparrow on the branch.
Yuanshi guided him to speak: "It's a sparrow flying..."
Just as he was talking, the door to the courtyard was suddenly pushed open.
Yuanshi subconsciously took the child into her arms, looked up, and saw Aunt Jiang.
"Madam!" Aunt Jiang walked in, "I haven't seen you for so long, why is my wife so thin... But Brother Kang has grown up, it's great, it's great!"
Yuanshi's eyes were alert: "What are you going to do?"
"Don't be afraid, Madam." Aunt Jiang said with a gentle smile, "On the orders of the Queen Mother, I will take Brother Kang to find his mother."
"Brother Kang's mother?" Yuanshi paused, "Aunt Tao?"
Aunt Jiang nodded: "On the way here from Jizhou, Madam, you must have heard someone mention the Heavenly Lady, right?"
Yuanshi had indeed heard of it.
When she was locked in the pigsty, although she couldn't get out, she could hear the Xie family members chatting. Recently, they often talked about the Goddess of Heaven and nectar.
I heard that in Xiejia Village, many villagers made an appointment to ask the Goddess to give them nectar water.
Before, she had thought that if she had the chance, she would ask for nectar for Kang Geer, hoping that Kang Geer could become a normal child as soon as possible.
"The Heavenly Lady is Aunt Tao, Brother Kang's biological mother." Aunt Jiang said, "It's getting late. Let's go quickly."
Yuanshi opened her lips in shock, puzzled.
But she knew that now was not the time to ask these questions, so she picked up the child and went out.
At this time, the sun had slowly sunk below the horizon, with a trace of afterglow shining on the earth, and the carriage drove towards the camp at the gate of the capital.
After the sky darkened, the crowd in front of us looked even more shocking, because we couldn't see the end at a glance, and people are always full of fear of the unknown.
