Women dressed as men: powerful officials

When the two arrived, Xu Wenxian and his group had already finished their meal, and Cheng Zhicheng had also gone back.

Knowing that Beiyao was leaving overnight, Zhang Qingyu said, "Why are you in such a hurry? Stay here tonight, and it won't be too late to leave after having dinner tomorrow morning."

Wen Shufang said at the side, "That's right, your Aunt Zhang bandaged all of you children a few days ago. She thought your injury had not healed completely, so she did it last. You should wait until your Aunt Zhang is done."

After hearing what Wen Shufang said, Bei Yao felt embarrassed to refuse.

Zhang Qingyu smiled again, "There's no rush, right? If we leave tomorrow morning, I'll be done in time."

"In that case, I'll trouble Aunt Zhang."

"No trouble, no trouble, it's no big deal." Zhang Qingyu waved his hands repeatedly.

The stars are sparse at night.

The crow stood on the dead tree, calling hoarsely.

Suddenly, a whistle was heard in the empty desert.

Then, birds began to fly.

Bei Yao stood in front of the window, his eyes shifted from the snow outside to Xu Yuan who was reading a book.

The candlelight brought a little heat and gently brushed the hair of the person making a wish.

He is extremely serious and focused.

Bei Yao said: "I'm going out for a while and will be back soon."

Xu Yuan also heard the whistle. She nodded and said, "Go."

It should be Chen Shan who is back.

Or maybe there are other people coming to meet us.

In short, that person is going back to his world.

After hearing Xu Yuan's words, Bei Yao gently pushed open the door and went out. After climbing over the courtyard wall, he ran towards the direction of the whistle.

Snowflakes are flying.

Soon, Chen Shan came into sight.

Upon seeing Bei Yao, Chen Shan immediately knelt on one knee and said, "I am late, please forgive me, Third Master!"

Chen Shan came hurriedly from Shuozhou and heard that Bei Yao was being hunted by Zhuifengtang.

The person who offered a reward for Bei Yao's death did not reveal Bei Yao's identity, only saying that he was a wealthy young man from the capital.

Bei Yao is the third prince and is not allowed to leave the capital without reason, and he cannot reveal his identity either.

If Zhuifengtang knew that Beiyao was the third prince, even if they had ten thousand courages, they would not dare to chase him thousands of miles away.

"It's okay, get up."

When he saw Chen Shan, Bei Yao's indifferent aura suddenly emerged, and he asked, "How is Shuozhou?"

"We can send troops."

Bei Yao nodded, "That's the best. I was originally planning to come here just to find the city defense map, but I didn't expect that this trip would not only help me recapture Geshu, but also bring down the crown prince."

"Third Master is very smart. He didn't want to fight before, but it's not that he couldn't fight. I'm just afraid that the Crown Prince is now in the capital and is already worried."

Chen Shan's words were not compliments.

Beiyao listened and felt a little more cheerful for no reason.

The world only knows that the third prince Bei Yao is the most beloved prince of the emperor and empress.

She has been living in the deep palace, rarely going out.

He does not need to learn how to be a king, nor does he need to be proficient in the Four Books and Five Classics.

In the capital, there are even more people discussing his appearance than his talent.

Because among the royal family, only the third prince looks most like the queen and is the best looking.

But Chen Shan knew.

Beiyao grew up in pampering, but never thought of becoming a waste.

The situation in Beiyao was very different from what the people in the capital knew and circulated.

The queen disliked him and even hated him.

Bei Yao had also thought about getting close to the queen, but what he got was deeper disgust.

The emperor doted on him, but often neglected him because of state affairs.

As for the prince.

That's a complete hypocrite.

All his good reputation was spread deliberately by him.

The relationship between the royal family is not as peaceful as outsiders think.

Bei Yao was indeed a prince who was ignorant of the ways of the world.

The emperor doesn't care how much he has learned.

He also doesn't care about his achievements.

It wasn't until he saw the queen praising the prince that, at that moment, it was as if something had taken root in his heart.

He began to learn from the prince and learned a lot of things.

Six Arts, Medical Skills, etc...

But he had never received any praise from the queen, and the queen still treated him as if he were nothing.

Previously, he had somewhat felt that perhaps as time passed, the Queen would notice him.

But he thought too much.

From the moment the Queen arranged his marriage, he understood that in the Queen's heart, he would never be as good as the Crown Prince.

Everyone thought that the queen doted on the third prince and that was why she allowed the Song family to marry off their daughter.

But in fact, everyone in the capital knew that the Song family was preparing to change their daughter, but the queen always pretended not to know.

Bei Yao remembered that day was the only time the Queen called him over and said to him coldly in the corridor: "Yao'er, the daughter of the Song family you are going to marry doesn't matter whether she is a legitimate daughter or a concubine's daughter. The arranged marriage is just to help the Crown Prince win over the Song family. As a younger brother, this is what you should do. When the Crown Prince ascends the throne one day, the position of King Changle will be yours."

The Queen thinks differently from the Song family.

In her heart, no matter how powerful the Song family is, the daughters of the Song family are all daughters of military officers.

Such a woman cannot enter the palace, let alone become the queen who rules the country in the future.

Therefore, behind the arranged marriage between the third prince and the eldest daughter of the Song family, there was also a marriage contract between the crown prince and the prime minister Qi's family.

The daughter of the Prime Minister is the Queen's preferred candidate for Crown Princess.

Therefore, he was just a stepping stone for the prince to ascend the throne.

In order to win over a chess piece of the Song family.

How ridiculous! The person who said this was his mother.

They are both the Queen's children, so why are he and the Crown Prince treated so differently?

Since then, Beiyao has been thinking about competing.

At least, the prince will not be allowed to sit on the throne so easily.

Bei Yao said: "I don't know whether the prince is worried or not, but he is very brave to amass wealth in Sishui County. You said he is already the crown prince, so why does he keep so much money?"

Rebellion?

Or force the emperor to abdicate.

Bei Yao sneered, "This time, even if I can't overthrow the crown prince, I will at least make him lose a layer of skin and break a wing."

From today on, he will take back everything he has lost.

Chen Shan didn't dare to respond to Bei Yao's words.

Bei Yao didn't dwell on it for long, and ordered: "Today I am still at Xuyuan's house, tomorrow you and I will set off for the military camp, do you have extra manpower?"

"The people from Cross Gate are all back."

"Leave two people to secretly protect Xu Yuan's family, and the others will follow me to the military camp."

Beiyao will never forget the kindness of the Xuyuan family.

Even from Zhang Qingyu and Wen Shufang, he felt the maternal love that the Queen had never given him.

This cannot be compared with how much money you give, or how many delicious and fun things you give as rewards.

That is love and care.

Perhaps this is the case for people who have lacked love since childhood.

Even though it is a very normal way of getting along among ordinary families, he still envied them and wished they were his own parents.

"Yes."

Chen Shan nodded, then cupped his hands and said, "Sir, I have already found some clues about the Xu family's affairs."

"how?"

"When the Xu family was exiled to Shuozhou, they encountered mountain bandits. No one in the family survived. The people who hunted down the Xu family were none other than the Zhuifeng Hall. The Zhuifeng Hall never leaves anyone alive."

Chen Shan spoke cautiously.

Bei Yao raised his eyes and asked, "Could it be that the family is really not the descendants of the Xu family?"

But Beiyao still felt something was wrong.

"It is also possible that someone survived by chance, but I have also found out another thing."

Bei Yao raised an eyebrow, "What's the matter?"

"It is said that the person who bought the lives of the Xu family in Zhuifeng Hall is a member of the royal family, but I cannot find out who it is."

After Chen Shan finished speaking, he cupped his hands and said, "Third Master, the Xu family case may cause quite a stir, so Third Master should avoid it if possible."

After all, it was the late emperor who betrayed the Xu family and exiled them all.
