There is Always a System Trying To Bind Me

The capital, in the palace.

The emperor, who has become a little old and frail, threw the cup in his hand to the ground.

He looked at the dark guard kneeling in front of him, and asked gloomily, "Are you sure everything you see is true?"

The dark guard, who was plain in appearance and could not be found in the crowd, nodded and replied: "Go back to your majesty, the army in Rongcheng is indeed very rich in materials, and I also go to the Xiongnu. I checked there. Although the Huns have always dispatched troops to the border of Rongcheng, they did not start a war with Rongcheng because they were afraid of the firearms in Li Mu's hands, and the previous battles were only small fights. Just a little trouble."

After driving away the Xiongnu, he also transported a lot of food and supplies to Rongcheng.

This time, the food naturally fell into Li Mu's hands. On the one hand, it was because the emperor took Rongcheng's affairs very seriously this time, and those with a slight wink would not act rashly.

On the other hand, it was because Wang Jin of the Wang family was found naked at the gate of the capital after missing for half a year.

At that time, many people who got up in the morning and prepared to enter the city saw this scene, and some people with better eyes recognized Wang Jin's identity.

After this incident, the face of Wang Jin and the Wang family was lost.

In the eyes of these people with ghosts, it was the person who kidnapped Wang Jin who was warning them.

Since then, these people are even more afraid to do it.

The emperor originally thought that with the money and food, the Huns at the border of Rongcheng could always retreat.

But he didn't expect that after two years of sending the supplies, Li Mu's reply was still that the Huns had not retreated.

The emperor felt something was wrong, so he sent his confidant to Rongcheng, but who knew that on the way to Rongcheng, this minister occasionally felt a cold, and because he didn't care at first, he actually Died like that.

After that, no matter who the emperor sends and how many people he sends to lead this errand.

Those people end up having all sorts of glitches before they set off.

In an instant, the emperor lost control of Rongcheng and several cities around him.

He knew nothing about the conditions of those cities.

The emperor immediately ordered to stop the supply of materials to Rongcheng, but it was too late at this time.

Because Rongcheng didn't respond in the slightest to the fact that he stopped the supply of materials, and even Li Mu still handed him a book every few months, telling him Rongcheng how far the war has come.

And after spending three years on the emperor's side, he finally sent his dark guard to Rongcheng, and only then did he learn the news of Rongcheng.

So now he only feels incomparable anger and panic.

Angry at Li Mu for fooling himself, and terrified at whether the other party wanted to rebel.

The emperor waved his hand and let the dark guard go down.

He frowned and pondered for a while before instructing the **** beside him to invite the fourth prince, Shen Xin.

Five years have passed, and the fourth prince has already turned from a naughty child into a handsome young man.

For most of the courtiers, the ignorant time of the Fourth Prince seemed to be just a fantasy.

Now he has a handsome appearance, a noble temperament, and a very gentle temperament. He is also the most favored son before His Majesty, and he is the best candidate for the position of the prince in the court.

"Father." Shen Xin respectfully saluted the emperor.

Seeing the child who best suits his heart, the emperor's face showed a bit of relief.

Just thinking about his current situation again, he couldn't help but sigh, and then revealed his intention to call the other party over.

"Xin'er, do you know something about Rongcheng?"

Shen Xin was stunned when he heard the emperor's words, as if he didn't understand why his father, the emperor, brought this up.

He thought about it, then shook his head.

"If I go back to the father, the son has been busy with the government affairs that the father handed over to the son recently, and I haven't had time to put my mind on this matter."

Hearing Shen Xin's reply, the emperor's heart calmed down, and he spoke to Shen Xin about his concerns and plans.

Finally, after an hour, Shen Xin left here with a bit of resentment on his face.

The emperor stayed in the study, watching his most proud son couldn't control the expression on his face, he couldn't help sighing in his heart, Xin'er was still too young and innocent.

He turned around and slowly returned to his bedroom.

But it is precisely because this son is simple that he prefers each other so much.

The emperor who thought so did not know that the pure son in his mind had left the palace and returned to his mansion.

Although everyone outside said that His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince has the best temper among all the princes, but those who have been serving the Fourth Prince all the time know how angry the Fourth Prince is horrible.

Just as a maid who came to the Fourth Prince's Mansion not long ago was pushed out by several other people, and her face was full of bitterness, a woman in a blue dress suddenly walked away Come over, took the tea in this maid's hand, and then ordered a few of them to go down.

When several maids saw the person coming, they immediately shouted "Yu Fangfei" respectfully.

Yu Zhihan nodded, heard the names of several maids, her expression stiffened for a moment, and finally nodded, and then walked towards the fourth prince's study.

"Husband." Yu Zhihan pushed open the door and shouted softly.

The fourth prince was originally upset, but seeing Yu Zhihan coming, he could only temporarily suppress the upset in his heart.

"Han'er, why are you here." Shen Xin glanced outside.

"It's so cold today, what should you do if you catch a cold?"

Yu Zhihan shook her head and said, "I'm not that delicate, I just miss you."

When Shen Xin heard Yu Zhihan's words, she couldn't help feeling tenderness in her heart.

He pulled Yu Zhihan's hand and let him fall into his arms.

"I have wronged you these days." Shen Xin said with a sigh.

He was referring to the fact that his concubine Qiao Qiu had been looking for trouble with Yu Zhihan recently.

Shen Xin assured Yu Zhihan: "Don't worry, Han'er, when I get the throne, I will definitely give you the status you should have."

Shen Xin originally wanted Yu Zhihan to be his concubine, but Yu Zhihan was only the concubine of Yu Xiang's family after all.

In addition, the emperor wanted Qiao Qiu, the daughter of the great scholar Qiao Shen, to be his daughter-in-law at that time.

In order to keep his position in the emperor's heart unshakable, Shen Xin could only endure the disgust of marrying Qiao Qiu as his main concubine, and wronged his beloved woman Yu Zhihan to be only a side concubine .

Yu Zhi smiled, skipped the topic and asked about Shen Xin's troubles.

Shen Xin sighed: "Rongcheng defender Li Mu guesses that he has a bad intention, but he has not shown it directly, but my father asked me to go to Rongcheng to supervise the army tomorrow."

"I'm just afraid of this trip, there are more misfortunes than good luck."

Yu Zhihan became nervous after hearing this, but she, a weak woman, really couldn't help Shen Xin in the current situation.

In the end, Yu Zhihan could only weakly hug Shen Xin's body.

Silent night!

In the early morning of the next day, Shen Xin led the 5,000 imperial guards out of the capital and went to Rongcheng with the emperor's decree.

.

It's just that everyone didn't notice that in Shen Xin's fourth prince's mansion, following his departure, a woman in the back house disappeared.

In the fourth prince's mansion, the fourth prince was sitting in the room and following the embroidery, a maid suddenly ran in and whispered in her ear for a while, and then Qiao Qiu's face showed a bit of irony smile.

When the maid left, Qiao Qiu continued to do embroidery for a while before getting up and changing her clothes. As usual, she went to the jewelry stores she liked in the capital to buy a few sets of head masks .

After Qiao Qiu left, a guy in the jewelry store followed the boss's instructions and went to the restaurant to cook a few dishes.

Qiao Qiu returned to the room and picked up the half-made embroidery again.

She described the pattern on the silk very seriously, stitch by stitch, and a slight smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, as if she saw someone through this embroidery.

Seeing this scene, the maid who was waiting on the side couldn't help but feel wronged for her master in her heart.

Such a good lady, why doesn't he cherish the Fourth Prince? Instead, he put his mind on a prostitute who was not favored at all.

…

In the Rongcheng barracks, Xu Qingyang stood in front of the martial arts field wearing a suit of armor, supervising the training of the people below.

After a training session, Cheng Xiao, who was wearing a scribe's uniform, walked up to Xu Qingyang's ear and said something.

Then under the curious eyes of everyone below, they were cold-blooded and ruthless, with high standards, General Yang Qing, who never released water, was abducted by Cheng Xiao like that.

Here, Xu Qingyang asked Cheng Xiao in surprise, "Are you sure that the concubine of the fourth prince, the concubine of Yu Xiang's family also came with the fourth prince?"

Cheng Xiao nodded: "The news is absolutely correct."

Xu Qingyang glanced at Cheng Xiao suddenly, "You don't have the slightest impression about the brother who is about to meet you."

Cheng Xiao pursed her lips and glanced at Xu Qingyang speechlessly: "I don't admit this."

After helping Li Mu control the Rongcheng army, Li Mu also helped Cheng Xiao find Cheng Xiao's father.

It's just that neither of them found it, and in the end the person they found was the one sitting on the dragon chair far away in the capital.

Because of this reason, Cheng Xiao originally wanted to find his father, listen to his mother's words and ask him if he still remembers Cheng Lingling's words from Anxian County.

He was reluctant to admit that the faint man was his father.
