Master, I really don't want to lay eggs!

In June of the 23rd year of Dasheng Chao Shunyi, there was a riot in Lingzhou. A censor impeached the prefect of Lingzhou for embezzling relief money during the drought in April, which caused the refugees to rebel. The emperor was furious and ordered the Ministry of Households to investigate thoroughly. Wang synergy.The imperial decree was issued to Lingzhou, and the guards of the Lingnan Palace surrounded the prefect's mansion, and all government affairs and military affairs were temporarily handed over to the Lingnan Palace.

Everyone thought that Lingnan King did it, and indeed he did it.However, the reason is not speculated by outsiders. Because of the refusal of the marriage, he retaliated against the prefect because of the shame and anger. There was a severe drought in the six prefectures of Shu, but Lingzhou did not starve to death. I gritted my teeth with hatred.This is not the point. The point is that the migration of a large number of refugees has led to a lag in population registration. It is impossible to count how many more people there are in Lingzhou City in a short period of time. This is a huge source of troops, and Qin Zizhan can't help but be moved.Before recruiting troops, he must control the military power in Lingzhou.

He has feelings for Chu Wan, but he will not show mercy to Chu Yu. That night, more than 160 people in the prefect's mansion were all detained, and only Chu Wan was taken into the Lingnan Palace.

Later, just like all the stories of stealing and usurping, he promised to save the lives of the people in the prefect's mansion, and she agreed to marry into Lingnan Palace as a side concubine.

That day Qin Zizhan went back to the palace and went to see her as usual. She was sitting on the soft bed in front of the window. There was a small coffee table on the couch with a chess board on it. .

He walked into the room and said with a smile, "So you can play chess."

Chu Wan wanted to stand up and salute, but was stopped by him: "No need to salute, you and I will play a game of chess."

Qin Zizhan's chess moves are just like him, full of vigor and murderous intent, Chu Wan's chess moves are also like hers, with the edge hidden in the middle, with its own hills and valleys.

The two ended up in a draw.

The more he got along with her, the more he believed that this woman, Chu Wan, was almost born to match him.

He looked at Chu Wan with complicated eyes, as gentle as water and as warm as fire.

"Like playing chess?" Qin Zizhan asked.

"I like chess, but I don't play it very often."

He was puzzled: "How do you say this?"

Su picked up two chess pieces: "One of the chess pieces is black, the other is white, black and white are distinct, very cute. But in this world, more things are not black and white, but gray, just like people, there are people in this world. There are good people and there are bad people, but most of them are people who live for their own benefit."

Qin Zizhan said calmly, "Wan'er said something that the king doesn't understand again."

"I stayed in the palace to ask the lord to save my family. This is the benefit of the lord and me, but after thinking about it, I don't know why the lord must keep me, and what good do I do to the lord? "

"Do you think I have other plans for you?"

"Did the lord interrogate my father today?" Chu Wan said indifferently, she sneered lightly, this kind of laughter would not show her two little dimples, Qin Zizhan thought that since she entered the palace, she has never had any I have seen her little dimples.

"I think my father's answer satisfied the prince very much."

He kept her in the palace because he liked her, but with her as a pawn, it was easier for Chu Yu to compromise.Qin Zizhan couldn't deny it.

The two of them were silent, and there was only more noise in the room, and Qin Zizhan suddenly felt flustered.

"The court doesn't know about the disaster relief in Lingzhou, but the prince knows best where every cent of the money is spent. The prefect's mansion and the prince's mansion jointly opened a warehouse. Everyone in the six prefectures of Sichuan knows it. Although the mountains are high and the roads are far away, the holy listener It’s closed, but the officials from the Ministry of Finance travel fast,” Chu Wan smiled again.

"You already knew that this king did these things, why didn't you say anything?"

"My lord has his own position. Whether I say it or not, it won't change the fact that the prefect's mansion was sealed up. It's better to do something practical."

"Then why did you say it again today?"

"My lord's return to Beijing is coming soon, I just want to confirm, is the lord's promise still to be fulfilled?"

I see.It turned out to be waiting for him here.

Qin Zizhan smiled slowly: "I promised you a long time ago that if you marry me, I will protect your entire family's life. Do you not believe me?"

Chu Wan lowered her eyes: "It's not because she doesn't believe in the lord, the girl just wants to be safe."

Qin Zizhan walked up behind her, wanting to hug her very much, but his outstretched hands were frozen in the air. A person like him never knew what debt was. Common people were born to be slaves to the royal family, didn't they?But why is he so guilty?Why don't you even dare to touch her?

"Wan'er, I will definitely do what I promised you," Qin Zizhan said with difficulty, "When I come back, let's start well, shall we? We had a very good start. I always remember that the light rain was lingering that day. I will never forget the way you smiled, the way you caught the raindrops under the eaves, and the way you spoke."

Chu Wan's hands resting on the chessboard trembled slightly, and she nodded.

They didn't start over.

Qin Zizhan only returned to Beijing for half a month. On the one hand, he was in order to invite the imperial concubine to establish a side concubine, and on the other hand, he was also mediating for Chu Yu. In the end, he didn't get the invitation, but the imperial edict to behead Chu Yu was issued.

At the end of that day, Qin Zizhan said to Chu Wan: "Wan'er, I know that being a side concubine has wronged you. If one day I succeed in my great career, I will make you my queen." It was like a prophecy. This kind of intuition, as if if you don't say something, you won't be able to keep Chu Wan.

Chu Wan's smile at that time was very erratic, as if she didn't believe it at all. She didn't believe this sentence, but someone else did.

The mother and concubine threw the invitation letter on his face: "Do you have any brains? You dare to say such things in the palace! You want to make her the queen, where do you put your princess? Where do you put the general's mansion?" ? Without the support of the general, how can you fight the prince!"

Qin Zizhan didn't accomplish anything, and returned to Lingzhou anxiously. He hesitated all the way how to explain, if Chu Wan wanted to leave, how could he force him to stay.But what was waiting for him was a beautiful woman with dead bones, no, not even dead bones, because Chu Wan contracted the epidemic and her bones were cremated after death.

Qin Zizhan only did one thing for Chu Wan. He personally carved a tombstone in front of her grave. On the tombstone was engraved the word Zhenyuan, and the word Zhen was given to her. She admired the loyalty of wolves and geese.Yuanzi was given to him, the original and the only one.

He waited for the day when he would complete the tombstone. Empress Zhenyuan, he must do one of the things he promised.
