Traveling through the millennium: creating a prosperous dynasty with you

After dinner, An Chen called a few confidants to the study. They had already found out that the third prince was trying to win over court officials and make money for the Qian family. His evil intentions were obvious. If An Hao really wanted to seize the throne, in addition to winning over court officials, he would have to raise troops, and raising troops would require food and weapons... The more they analyzed, the more frightened they became. The third prince, who seemed to be indifferent to worldly affairs, asked to go to various places to collect food and medicinal materials at the beginning of the epidemic, under the pretext of sharing his father's worries. The emperor knew that his maternal grandfather's business was all over the country, and the Qian family would naturally help the third prince to collect food and medicinal materials.

That year, when he was less than 15 years old, he married the concubine daughter of the Minister of War. At first, the emperor did not allow it. He told the emperor that he was too sleepy when discussing things in Chen Yan's house, and wanted to drink some wine to sober up, but it was his first time to drink, and he didn't expect to pass out after a glass of wine. Then someone brought him a hangover soup, and he couldn't help but ask for the maid. When he woke up, he knew that it was Chen Yan's daughter. Chen Yan was the Minister of War. At the time of the Anguo fever, several neighboring countries also wanted to take the opportunity to invade. In order to appease Chen Yan, he was willing to marry Chen Lian, the concubine daughter of the Minister of War, as the princess, so that Chen Yan would feel the emperor's grace and be more loyal to the royal family.

The emperor felt that his youngest son had grown up and was sensible. He called Chen Yan and comforted him with a few words. He also asked if he was willing to marry his daughter to the third prince. The three of them thought that he was talking about the legitimate daughter. The mother of this girl was the daughter of the prime minister. She was gentle and sensible. The emperor felt that the child raised by such a mother would definitely not be wrong. He had also seen this girl several times. She was outstanding in appearance and dignified. She was a good match for the third prince. The emperor did not ask anyone to investigate and directly issued an imperial decree to grant marriage that day.

That year, Chen Jing, the legitimate daughter of Chen Yan, was rumored to have passed away. Chen Xu was Chen Jing's elder brother. He followed the eldest prince to guard the northern border. Because he did not like his father's abuse of power for personal gain and his sinister and mean deeds, he had not returned home for several years and did not allow anyone to mention his family's affairs. Therefore, no one had told Chen Xu about the affairs of the Chen family for nearly three years, including the affairs of his sister.

After An Chen received the news that the Second Prince's food was robbed and he was missing, he sent Chen Xu to take a few people to investigate. Before Xu Zhen arrived, An Chen received a letter from him, but there was no news from him after that. The letter said that they found the Second Prince's carriage and horse marks at the junction of Nanzhao, Xishu, and Anguo, and they followed this clue to investigate. After that, they never heard from him again. An Chen sent spies in the south to continue searching, but they never found any useful information. If it weren't for Xu Zhen's help, it is estimated that the possibility of the Second Prince coming out of such a secret place is very small.

The more the truth was revealed, the more uneasy they became. Various signs indicated that the Third Prince and his party were ready and just waiting for the right time. The tens of thousands of soldiers secretly brought back to Beijing this time were probably heading for the palace. If the epidemic continues to spread, it will take a few days for the imperial city to change hands without even having to fight. The strange thing was that after his tens of thousands of soldiers entered the territory of the capital, they hid in a forest. An Chen's men had been guarding outside the forest, but no one came out. But the next day, the forest was empty. Tens of thousands of people just disappeared out of thin air. They searched the area for nearly a hundred miles but found no trace. Later, An Chen sent people to guard for a few more days, but there was no news, so he withdrew his men.

Not only did the plague begin to spread throughout the capital, but An Chen sent guards, imperial doctors, and doctors to various places to diagnose, isolate, and maintain order. It was strange that they could bring so many soldiers here at this critical moment, and they passed through many places with plague, but they didn't see any soldiers get the plague.

“Is it man-made?”

Several people said in unison.

One person said, "We have people who are more or less sick, but he dares to bring a large army at this critical moment. He must be confident that nothing will go wrong. Feeding so many people is not a trivial matter. It seems that someone is secretly helping him."

Another person said, "The grain transport convoy belongs to the Qian family. The Third Prince said that it was to save the emperor transportation costs. The escort soldiers were sent by Chen Yan."

"So they are all his own people."

An Chen said: "Check"

Several people responded, "Yes," and disappeared in the blink of an eye using their lightness skills.

Five days passed, the goddess's reputation spread further and further, and the third prince had arrived in the capital. He hid the tens of thousands of private soldiers he brought back in the woods outside the capital, and only brought a few personal guards back home.

The more he heard, the more he thought, "That woman is really powerful and has magical powers. This king must take her down."

In the evening, An Chen sent away the people sent by the emperor, and walked to Xu Zhen's room unknowingly. He was still sitting at the table in a daze, holding the "naked" cup in his hand.

Xu Zhen woke up in the space and went to the restaurant for a big meal. She was finally alive! She felt An Chen in the room. The air pressure in the whole room was very low. Xu Zhen's heart tightened and she flashed out of the space. Seeing the dazed King Chen, she hugged him from behind unconsciously. An Chen smelled the unique fragrance on Xu Zhen. He thought he was hallucinating. He dared not move and let the girl in his dream hug him. He was afraid that if he moved, his girl would disappear again. He whispered softly: "Zhenzhen, don't leave me!"

Xu Zhen felt sad to hear such a sorrowful prince. She didn't expect that An Chen could be so infatuated with her after less than a month of getting along. Perhaps, to him, Xu Zhen, as his childhood sweetheart who had been with him for more than ten years, had already been deeply rooted in his bones!

Xu Zhen rested her head on An Chen's shoulder and comforted him softly, "I'm here. Sorry to have made you worry!"

An Chen felt a hot and itchy feeling beside his ears. He felt that this was not a dream, but reality. His little girl really came back. He held Xu Zhen's arm with one hand, turned around, and saw the little girl's face with his own eyes. His eyes actually turned red. He pulled the girl to sit on his lap and held her tightly with both hands, fearing that he would lose her if he let go. Xu Zhen didn't say anything and let him hold her. He patted his back gently to comfort him. After a long while, An Chen didn't let go. Xu Zhen lifted An Chen's chin with one hand and let him look at him: "You've taken advantage of me for so long, but you're still not at ease?"

An Chen felt guilty, his face was red all the way to his neck, he coughed to cover up his embarrassment. He quickly changed the subject: "The emperor sent someone to ask if he could get grain seeds." Speaking of business, Xu Zhen wanted to stand up and sit on the chair next to her, but An Chen still held her firmly on his lap and had no intention of letting go. After several unsuccessful attempts, Xu Zhen, who looked aggrieved, could not bear to compromise, and An Chen smiled with a triumphant look on his face. It turns out that no matter how brave a man is, he will be infatuated with his beloved girl without limit!

"There is plenty of grain and seeds. I feel like I have slept for many days. How is the epidemic going? Have the medicines been delivered?"

"The medicine is sent 800 miles away urgently. The farthest place can be delivered tomorrow afternoon. I received a pigeon message yesterday and some places that didn't receive the medicine have improved in severe cases. Zhenzhen, you did the right thing, didn't you? I should have thought of it when you suddenly disappeared. I'm sorry for not protecting you well."
