Chapter 14 Change of Sky (from)

Besides, Xue Zhen and his entourage were poisoned on the way that day, and they paid special attention to it in the next few days and finally came outside Qiongjiang City. Seeing this towering imperial city in the distance, Xue Zhen's chest rose with a sense of pride and sadness. The arrow was on the string and had to be fired. Perhaps from the day he and the Eight Prince came to the world, it had already been doomed today's cause and effect.

Fang Chen led a part of the "Wei army" to stop marching. Huo Qiyue also rushed up with the soldiers who were pressing the battle. Seeing Xue Zhen, the two did not say anything. Xue Zhen also said nothing, but nodded to them and instigated the horse to walk forward. Huo Qiyue and Fang Chen didn't need to be instructed, and naturally followed him left and right. Shen Xuanji held Yiran and still sat in his car, closely following her husband.

It was early autumn that day, and the weather was still hot, but there was a faint meaning of coolness in the breeze. Xue Zhen and everyone behind him were all plain. The filial piety belt on his forehead was blown by the wind, which made his whole body more and more like a fairy. And his face is cold at this moment. Thinking of the deceased emperor, there is still sadness in his eyes.

Anyway, it was his biological father. Although he hasn't been close to him since he remembered things, his father and son are born. When he dies, Xue Zhen will never feel better. He didn't treat him very well when he was alive. The only best thing for him was to marry Shen Xuanji. Now that he is dead, he has to come back to get what he deserves in the name of mourning. Xue Zhen smiled helplessly. Who owes whom? It's not clear.

Shen Xuanji sitting in the car is not as calm as her husband now. Finally back to Qiongjiang! Although Qiongjiang, like Qiyi, is not her hometown of Wanping, where she grew up, Qiongjiang has a dependent family, which is the place where she and Xue Zhen are connected. Here she became a woman from a girl and found the most important man in her life, which is naturally of great significance.

She still remembers that on the day Xue Zhen was sent to Qiyi, she was also sitting in the same carriage. She looked back at the fading Qiongjiang Tower and secretly vowed to come back! Now she has not only fulfilled her promise, but also brings a small new member. Although she knows that the future will not be smooth, and she is afraid that it will be more turbulent in recent days, it is still difficult for her to hold back the excitement in her heart.

She is not married to an ordinary idle prince. Her husband is Xue Zhen, the ninth prince. Everyone has their own predestined way to go. Xue Zhen wants to be worshipped by his subjects and make achievements.

She is secretly cheering herself up in her heart. It doesn't matter. You don't have to be afraid of anything. What else is there to be dissatisfied with your man and your daughter around you? The world is impermanent. Now she looks back and thinks about the days when she fled thousands of miles away from Wanping to the Duke of An. At that time, she must not have thought that she would have everything she had now, and she did not expect to lose what she had long ago.

She thought of her parents who died, her loyal and unyielding uncle Wei Ye, the empress dowager who was exhausted for Xue Zhen, the tragic death of her master, her cousin Wei Jie, who suffered injustice, and her cousin Wei Jia, who died in Fanghua, and her cousin Wei Xi, who had to marry far away because of the tricks of Princess Li Guifei. She has lost enough.

The car staggered and slept soundly in her arms. A small man, holding it like holding a soft dough, Shen Xuanji lowered her head to trace her daughter's eyebrows with her fingers. Her appearance combined with the strengths of Xue Zhen. Her skin was white, her eyebrows were long, her nose was straight, and her mouth was fleshy and she was healthy pink. This lovely little man is the bone and blood of her and Xue Zhen, and is the crystallization of their love. She will protect her well and will never scare her.

Shen Xuanji was thinking about it when he suddenly felt that the carriage shook violently and then stopped.

Yiran was awakened by this and cried loudly. Shen Xuanji quickly picked her up and patted her back and gently coaxed her, "Yiran is not afraid. With her mother, Yiran doesn't have to be afraid of anything, good boy..."

Seeing that Shen Xuanji's face was not good, the wet nurse quickly took over the little princess and coaxed herself. Lan Qing has lifted the curtains and looked out to have a look.

"What's going on?" Shen Xuanji narrowed his eyes. Sure enough, he was close to the center of the storm, and some people couldn't stand it.

Lan Qing stretched out his neck and couldn't see what was going on for a long time. Shen Xuanji was impatient and would get out of the car as soon as he lifted the curtain. Lan Qing was scared and quickly grabbed her, "Princess, I don't know what's going on outside. Let's not go down first!"

Shen Xuanji pushed away her hand, "It doesn't matter. I'll go down and have a look. With the prince here, nothing will happen. You take good care of the princess in the car. No matter what happens, you can't leave, okay?"

Lan Qing has always known that she is stubborn, especially after giving birth to a little princess, she has become stronger and stronger. Although she is usually kind to them, once something happens or the ninth prince has something on her mind, the princess will suddenly become cold and hard, looking ruthless, but she can act more decisively than before. Lan Qing can't say whether this is good or bad.

Shen Xuanji himself did not realize that she was indifferent and decisive by nature. When she first arrived in Qiongjiang and married Xue Zhen, she was just the elegant and capable of everyone's daughter, but since she arrived in such a poor mountain and evil place as Qiyi, her temper has been grinded out a different look. Although she is still as strong and tough in her bones, now she is not happy or angry. She is rarely angry and rarely ecstatic. Sometimes she only needs one look to make people feel cold sweaty.

The same is true of Xue Zhen. He is now much more mature and his eyes are deeper. After grinding, this couple has faded away the innocence and arrogance of their wedding. Now they have only one common goal. If such forced growth is a painful thing in the eyes of others, then it is also very sweet for Xue Zhen and Shen Xuanji. The goal is a fire that can forge people into something they didn't expect at all. Maybe in this process, many good things will be lost, but in the end, those who stay must be qualified to stay. Maybe the final shape is not the most beautiful, but it must be the strongest.

Only when you become stronger can you protect yourself and the people you love. Shen Xuanji has known this truth for a long time, but it takes such a long time to refine it almost to turn it into reality.

Shen Xuanji didn't want others to follow him. He came to Xue Zhen's horse and saw him sitting on the horse and looking condescendingly at the person in front of him. "You are so presumptuous that you are in charge of me. Who gave you the courage?"

The man looked like a three-grade official. I don't know whether it was hot or scared, and the sweat on his forehead oozed out. He scolded the Eighth Prince in his heart. If he didn't like it, he would die. He was sent to come on an errand that might die, and his face was still piled with smiles. "I'm just a message. The ninth prince must not be angry. The eighth prince means that it's getting late now, and it's inconvenient for the ninth prince to enter the city. He still camped outside the city overnight and wait until the gate opens tomorrow morning. Go to the city to worship the ancestors!"

Xue Zhen was so angry that he really didn't understand the Eight Prince. Is he really naive and thought that he could stop himself from staying outside the city for one night and return to the sky?

At this time, Xue Zhen had soldiers and generals behind him. After all, he was more confident, but he didn't want to waste another day. In case the eight princes jumped over the wall and hurt the people of the Anguo Mansion, he could not make it to Shen Xuanji. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and the slender corners of his eyes were raised, which was quite gloomy. "What if I don't?"

The man trembled with fear and forced himself, "If the ninth prince is willing to go his own way, the eighth prince and the eighth prince say so, don't blame him for ignoring brotherhood."
