Episode 27: Prince Ding Xiao Changtai colludes with the Le clan

Gu Qingshu confused right and wrong and insisted in front of the emperor that Prince Ning Xiao Changmin was deliberately plotting rebellion. It was her desperate efforts to stop him that ruined his plan. Unfortunately, she lost her child during the dispute.In order to protect himself, Xiao Changmin simply lied and claimed that he committed suicide by taking poison in the palace. Before his death, he left a suicide note begging His Majesty to terminate their engagement, placing all the blame on himself and eliminating the possibility of subsequent investigation.Only Xiao Huayong didn't believe that his second brother would rebel, let alone take poison easily, so he immediately went to the palace to ask for an audience.

The emperor took out the confession letter left by Prince Ning and pointed out that the mastermind behind the poisonous cherry case was Xiao Changmin. However, there were strange things in every word, which made Xiao Huayong feel suspicious and lingering for a long time.After escaping, Gu Qingshu turned around and went to her brother-in-law, Prince Xin Xiao Changqing. She cried and said that she had nothing to do with Prince Ning now, and she just wanted to find a shelter from the wind and rain in Prince Xin's Mansion.Xiao Changqing had always known her methods, and immediately turned cold and wanted to drive her away, but she huddled on the ground holding the handkerchief, lying that she was exhausted after the miscarriage and had nowhere to go, so she refused to get up.

It happened that the good news came from the Shen family that Shen Xihe's brother was going to get married in the northwest. His Majesty was grateful for the Shen family's meritorious service in protecting the soil, and specially issued an order to allow Shen Xihe to return home to attend his brother's wedding. However, Xiao Huayong's old injuries were not healed and he could not withstand the long journey, so Shen Xihe had to set off alone.Xiao Changqing had found out about Shen Xihe's itinerary early and deliberately met“” at the station she must pass through. Shen Xihe did not want to spread gossip and deliberately kept a distance from him all the way.After nightfall, Xiao Changqing sat on the stone platform downstairs and played the flute. The melodious tunes were full of endless affection. Upstairs, Shen Xi and Zheng had finished bathing and asked their personal maid Zhenzhu to comb her hair. When she looked up, she saw Xiao Huayong, who was supposed to stay in the capital, standing quietly by the door. She was surprised and happy at the same time.

The two of them were talking in a low voice. Xiao Changqing went upstairs to show his goodwill with the cakes he made by himself. When he opened the door, he caught a glimpse of Xiao Huayong in the room. Shen Xihe immediately drove him out with a cold face.The moment the door closed, Xiao Huayong stretched out his hand to pull the person into his arms and kissed him.Xiao Changqing, who was rejected, did not get angry. Instead, he turned around to find Xiao Huayong and deliberately provoked him, saying that he had a long life and could afford to spend it. After all, his life was much longer than others.

The next day, Xiao Huayong personally accompanied Shen Xihe on his way, while Xiao Changqing and his men and horses followed him far behind, like a shadow that couldn't be shaken away.At the same time, in the northwest military camp, the soldiers were busy preparing for the prince's wedding in three days. The atmosphere was full of joy. Only Geng Liang was standing in the corner, his face gradually becoming ferocious, and his eyes filled with hatred for Shen Yueshan that was engraved in his bones.Not long after, a large number of men in black suddenly broke into the military camp and surrounded the Shen family.

Shen Yueshan desperately protected his son from the siege and fled all the way to the city gate, only to find that the soldiers and horses of the Le tribe had already blocked the way - obviously there was a traitor in the army and a traitor to the enemy.Shen Yueshan understood immediately that Geng Liangcheng had rebelled.Back then, Geng Liangcheng's son committed mischief in the army, and it was Geng Liangcheng who was selfless and righteous in killing his relatives. Little did he know that this fateful brotherhood would not be worth the hatred of losing his son.

Geng Liang stood on the tower with madness in his eyes, and immediately ordered thousands of arrows to be fired to kill all the Shen family members.Fortunately, General Yan from outside the city arrived in time with his troops and desperately saved Shen Yueshan and the Crown Prince who were seriously injured. However, Shen Yueshan lost too much blood and remained unconscious.The news reached Shen Xihe's ears on the way, and she immediately sent people to search for famous doctors, and traveled to the northwest at starry night.

When she arrived at the military camp, Shen Yueshan was still awake. The prince held on to his injured body and told the truth, confirming that the traitor was Geng Liangcheng.Shen tide and his fingertips tapped on the table, always feeling that something was fishy - if Geng Liangcheng was just avenging his son, he could have secretly assassinated Shen Yueshan, instead of going to war to collude with the Le clan. It was clear that he wanted to seize power with the help of foreign enemies and completely occupy the northwest.She stayed up all night to revise the city defense map, and she would never let the thousands of miles of northwest territory fall into the hands of the enemy.

Late at night, Ding Wang Xiao Changtai secretly sneaked into Geng Liangcheng's camp and congratulated him, saying that he was only one step away from success. Even Xiao Huayong and Shen Xihe coming to the northwest were all part of his plan.He has never been favored by His Majesty, and he has been jealous of Xiao Huayong for many years.Li Yan on the side tried hard to persuade him to stop, saying that she was unwilling when her motherland was destroyed, but the moment he drank poisoned wine in front of the emperor to plead for her in order to protect her, she realized that living well was what her deceased relatives wanted to see most.

But Xiao Changtai has already gone crazy. He wants to let his always partial father taste the pain of losing everything, and refuses to stop colluding with the Le clan no matter what.The news of Geng Liangcheng's collaboration with the enemy spread back to the capital. He also heard that Duke Shen Yueshan of the State of Wei was seriously injured and fell into a coma. Emperor Long Yan was deeply worried.At this time, Xiao Changying took the initiative to play, begging His Majesty to allow Xiao Changqing to temporarily mobilize surrounding troops and horses to help the northwest. The emperor thought about it again and again and finally made the decision, ordering Xiao Changqing to protect the people of the northwest and calm the chaos.
