. Seeing that Zong Tianxuan also said this, Zhao Hong knew that there was no other way, nodded and said, "Okay, I understand." ”

Several people discussed for a while, and Shi Miyuan said: "Your Highness, Mr. Zong, we will be here for a while today, and we will prepare separately after we go back, don't contact us at will if you have nothing to do, and don't divulge secrets." ”

Zong Tianxuan also said: "Of course, Master Shi also has to be careful." ”

The three of them said goodbye, divided into two groups, left the ancestral hall, and returned to their own residences.

Zong Tianxuan led Zhao Hong back to the pavilion, jumped over the wall, and sent Zhao Hong to the pavilion before saying, "Your Highness, please go back!" In the future, you must be careful in everything you do. As soon as there is news, I will come to inform His Highness at any time" With that, he jumped off the wall and disappeared into the darkness.

At this time, it was the third watch, and the whole pavilion was silent, and only occasionally heard the sound of looking for a watch at night. Zhao Hong took advantage of the starlight, recognized the direction, and walked towards his residence.

He has practiced martial arts with Zong Tianxuan for more than two years, although it is not a long time, and he has not learned any advanced martial arts, but he has also practiced vigorously and acted quickly, and for more than two years, he has often acted at night, so he did not make a sound at this time, and after a while, he found the back window of his residence.

Entering the house through the window, Zhao Hong calmed down a little, for fear of alarming others, and did not light the lamp, and was thinking of going to the door to tell Da Kui and Xiao Kui that he had come back with the scriptures, and then went to sleep. At this moment, the door suddenly opened, the lights flickered, and a man entered the house. Zhao Hong was startled, and after a closer look, it was Zhao Wanru.

I saw Zhao Wanru holding the wax table in one hand, her face sinking like water, and her eyes staring at Zhao Hong. And Zhao Hong's heart was weak for a while, and he lowered his head, not daring to look at Zhao Wanru.

After a long while, Zhao Hong couldn't help but say, "It's so late, hasn't my aunt slept yet?" ”

Zhao Wanru still didn't speak, walked to the table, put the wax table on the table, and sat down at the table. Zhao Hong wanted to say something, but when he opened his mouth, he couldn't say a word. I couldn't stop thinking about it, I found something to borrow, and deceived Zhao Wanru, saying that I couldn't sleep at night, went out for a walk, or something else......

At this time, Zhao Wanru suddenly said: "Zong Tianxuan actually followed Jiankang, what are you going to do with him?" Don't sue? Me, you're sneaking out tonight, not to see him? ”

Zhao Hong's heart was shocked, and he couldn't help but say: "How does my aunt know ......?"

It turned out that after Zhao Wanru and Zhao Hong had a big quarrel in Lin'an, the next day Zhao Hong was like Zhao Wanru admitting her mistake and showing that she was willing to go to Jiankang. But Zhao Wanru was no longer a little girl who didn't understand anything at the beginning, and she felt that Zhao Hong's change was too sudden, I am afraid there was another reason. However, Zhao Wanru didn't say anything, but simply agreed to forget it. But he secretly sent two henchmen to keep an eye on Zhao Hong to see what he did.

Although Zhao Hong is King Deng, he is not yet an adult, and it is Zhao Wanru who is in charge of King Deng's mansion, so the family stared at it for a few days, and finally found that Zhao Hong slipped out of the palace one night and entered the house next door.

After Zhao Wanru received a return from her family, she immediately knew that something was wrong, and it was obvious that Zhao Hong was secretly dealing with some people. Although Zhao Wanru doesn't know who they are, it can be concluded that they will never be kind, and even Zhao Hong has become like this, and eighty percent of them are related to these people.

However, Zhao Wanru is much calmer than when she came two years ago, and she is silent. Because Zhao Hong finally agreed to go to Jiankang with her, he was afraid that if he told the truth, Zhao Hong would be provoked again, and then he would make other things, so he only sent someone to secretly inquire about who lived in the house next door? I first understand the matter clearly, and plan to deal with this matter after returning from Jiankang.

Zhao Qianru came to visit just now, and she also saw Zhao Hong's restless expression, although she sent Zhao Hong to rest, but Zhao Wanru was not at ease, so after sending Zhao Qianru away, she immediately went to Zhao Hong's room to take care of her. Da Kui and Xiao Kui were able to stop her, and Zhao Wanru entered Zhao Hong's room to see that Zhao Hong was really not there again.

Zhao Wanru was shocked and angry, it seemed that the people who were secretly dealing with Zhao Hong also came to Jiankang, and Zhao Hong went to see them again tonight. Is this okay, if it's in Lin'an, it's better, and you can still try to cover it up if something happens. This is Jiankang, if something happens at the foot of this day, it will be difficult to clean up. Therefore, Zhao Wanru immediately called a few confidants to take down Da Kui and Xiao Kui for a strict trial.

At this point, Da Kui and Xiao Kui can't deny it, although the two are loyal to Zhao Hong, they can't stand the pain of flesh and skin, and each of them has played more than a dozen boards, so they can't stand the fight, and they have to do all the tricks. Although the two of them didn't know that Zhao Hong and Zong Tianxuan had plans to attack the palace in Jiankang this time, they were hard to grind by Zhao Wanru, and finally told all the things that Zhao Hong had been in contact with Zong Tianxuan in the past two years.

As soon as I heard that Zong Tianxuan was involved in this, coupled with the content of her and Zhao Hong's quarrel in Lin'an, I didn't know what they were going to do together? Zhao Wanru knew that things were not good, Rao is that she has matured a lot in the past two years, and she was also so frightened that she was at a loss, and she didn't know what to do for a while?

In the end, Zhao Wanru finally decided to wait for Zhao Hong to come back and talk to him in person. Therefore, he sent the rest of the family down, and then waited at the door of Zhao Hong's room by himself. When I heard movement inside, I immediately opened the door and came in.

And Zhao Hong is still a fourteen or fifteen-year-old child after all, and when she was deceived by her, she immediately blurted out and admitted it, and suddenly her face was red and white, which was very ugly.

Zhao Wanru stared at him and said, "How did you start to get along, tell me honestly." ”

Zhao Hong was stunned for a while, knowing that he couldn't deny it, and finally honestly told him about his dealings with Zong Tianxuan, as well as the two of them's plan to jointly avenge Zhao Kai, and so on. However, he also understood the depth of the matter, although the plan to Jiankang was canceled this time, he did not tell Zhao Wanru. It was only said that Zong Tianxuan was not worried about him, so he met again tonight.

After listening to his story, Zhao Wanru couldn't help but be shocked and frightened, and complained that she was usually too careless, and the two of them went under her nose for more than two years, but she didn't notice it at all. And they actually have such great courage, they have no soldiers and no power in their hands, so they want to push to Zhao Chen's rule and establish themselves as emperors.

For a while, Zhao Wanru didn't know what to say. In fact, in all fairness, Zhao Chen's treatment of Zhao Hong with the scriptures is considered to be benevolent and righteous, if it was a ruthless emperor, Zhao Hong and Zhao Mi would have been executed a long time ago, so as to prevent future troubles. And although she doesn't know much about military affairs, she also knows that Zhao Chen's throne is stable now, and she is assisted by Yang Yan. But she didn't know how to persuade Zhao Hong, the aunt and nephew looked at each other and had nothing to say.

After a long time, Zhao Wanru pleaded a little: "Hong'er, I heard my aunt say that it is impossible for you to succeed, while it is still too late, quickly cut off contact with Zong Tianxuan, and nothing will happen." If you continue to follow Zong Tianxuan, it will only be a dead end. You have listened to your aunt since you were a child, and now you still listen to your aunt, okay? Hurry up and stop it. ”

Zhao Hong said: "Auntie, it's not that Hong'er doesn't listen to you, but the revenge of killing your father is not shared." Mr. Zong and my father have no relatives and no reason, but he is grateful for my father's kindness to him, and he has worked tirelessly, not in danger of life and death, and has traveled in all directions, all in order to avenge my father. I was born as a son of man, how can I sit idly by? What's more, this Great Song Dynasty was originally our family's, if it is not taken back in my hands, my father's spirit in the sky will not be blind. ”

Zhao Wanru saw that he was still so stubborn, and couldn't help but feel angry, and said: "Do you know how dangerous it is to do this, once the matter is revealed, you will die, and it will also affect me and Mi'er to accompany you to turn around, Mi'er is only twelve years old, so difficult that you can't bear to ignore your own sister's life and death for your own ambition?" ”

When Zhao Hong heard this, he was a little relieved, and said, "Auntie, don't worry!" If we don't have the certainty of victory, we won't do justice, and the good days of the faint monarch are not a few days, and it won't be long before I will lead the army into the palace, kill the faint monarch to avenge my father, and then ascend the throne and become the king of the Great Song Dynasty. Then I will definitely appoint virtuous and virtuous people, make great efforts, sweep the east and seek the stream, set Jiaozhi in the south, sweep the Western Xia in the west, and expedition the Central Plains in the north, recover the lost land, create the prosperous era of the Great Song Dynasty, and make all countries come to the dynasty. To achieve a great cause that even Tang Taizong and Han Guangwu can't do. At that time, Auntie, you and Mi'er will become veritable princesses of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

As he spoke, Zhao Hong stood up, his eyes lit up, as if he had led a large army, entered the palace, captured Zhao Chen and others, ascended the throne, and was worshiped by hundreds of civil and military officials, and even the envoys of various countries prostrate in front of him......

Zhao Wanru shuddered, looking at Zhao Hong in front of her, as if she saw Zhao Kai again. suddenly understood that although Zhao Hong was only fifteen years old, he was also the same as Zhao Kai, the emperor's dream of the scriptures was getting deeper and deeper, and they all believed that they would definitely succeed, so they would not listen to anyone's rational advice. At this point, it's useless to say anything. Both father and son are tendons, and they will not wake up until they reach the point of exhaustion.

But what made Zhao Wanru feel even more sad was that Zhao Kai had divided one side back then, and he still had more than 100,000 horses in his hands, and he was officially called the emperor. And Zhao Hong is now an idle prince at all, powerless and powerless, and he has become unable to see anything clearly and listen to anything just for the sake of an unrealistic emperor's dream.

A feeling of powerlessness immediately filled Zhao Wanru's whole body, thinking that she had been taking good care of these two children for the past two years, and only hoped that they could grow up safely, but she didn't expect her hard work to get such an ending in exchange, Zhao Wanru suddenly felt extremely tired.

Zhao Hong talked for a long time, and then noticed that Zhao Wanru's look of grief was greater than her heart, and she also felt that something was wrong, and whispered: "Auntie, what's wrong with you?" ”

After a long time, Zhao Wanru said calmly: "Hong'er, you are also old, you have your own opinions, and your aunt can't take care of your affairs, what you do in the future, your aunt will not interfere with you." But you also have to promise your aunt one thing. ”

Zhao Hong hesitated for a moment, Zhao Wanru's voice just now completely regained its calmness, but it made Zhao Hong feel terrible calm, and after a while, Zhao Hong said, "Auntie, what's the matter?" ”

Zhao Wanru said lightly: "You will be sixteen years old next year, and you will be able to open your own mansion." So you promise your aunt that you will not do anything until you are sixteen years old, or I will never spare you. When you reach the age of sixteen, I will take your child and leave the Deng Wang's Mansion and resettle in another place, and at that time, no matter what you want to do, no one will care about you. But if you still want to make trouble before you turn sixteen, then don't be rude to you. ”

As soon as Zhao Hong heard it, he knew that Zhao Wan had concluded that she would not be able to do anything, and she was afraid of being implicated, so she planned to leave King Deng's Mansion with Zhao Yu. I also felt very embarrassed in my heart, because in the past two years, it has been Zhao Wanru who has been taking care of their daily life, and he is still very attached to Zhao Wanru, and said: "Auntie, don't leave me, okay, I ......"

Zhao Wanru sneered: "What are you? Aren't you freer without me by your side? Let's just say yes or no? ”

Zhao Hong thought about it, now there is only one year before he turns more than sixteen, but as Shi Miyuan said, for the time being, he has to hold back and wait for the opportunity, I am afraid there will be no action in this year. It's better to agree to my aunt, let my aunt leave Deng Wangfu with my sister first, and wait for my righteous success, great achievements, and stepping on the throne, and then I will pick up my aunt and sister, so that they can enjoy the honor, and it is not too late.

Thinking of this, Zhao Hong also figured it out, and immediately said: "Okay, aunt, I promise you that you will never act rashly in this year." ”

Zhao Wanru snorted coldly and said, "Since you agreed, then you will give me a share of peace and security for this year." Don't cause trouble. With that, she stood up and said, "Rest!" I'm gone, don't tell anyone about tonight. ”

Looking at the back of Zhao Wanru leaving, Zhao Hong was also sad for a while, and suddenly said: "Auntie, don't worry, when I become the emperor, I will come to pick you up." ”

Zhao Wanru didn't look back, and said coldly: "Don't go so far, you can do it yourself." ”

In this way, without Zhao Chen, Yang Yan, Zhao Qianru and others noticing at all, a conspiracy and rebellion that should have happened was unexpectedly stopped. The emperor's birthday was still carried out in a festive atmosphere.
