Zhu Yujiao trembled, quickly knelt down, and said in a trembling voice: "Father is angry, Erchen thought that there was someone else to arrest, Xia Nan was just innocently implicated......"

Chongzhen's face became more and more ugly, and he asked, "Who told you that it wasn't him I had to deal with?" ”

Zhu Yujiao remembered that she had promised Wen Tiren not to betray him, and she didn't want to involve Xia Nan again, which would make the hatred between her father and Xia Nan deeper, so she replied: "Please forgive my father, my son can't say it." ”

Seeing that she deliberately concealed it, Chongzhen became even more suspicious, and asked: "Let me ask you again, how did you and Xia Nan meet, and why did you save him?" ”

Zhu Yujiao didn't know how to answer for a while, could it be that she met when she was drinking flower wine in the Qinglou? And the reason is because he has a crush on his woman? She was stumbling, and she couldn't say why for a long time.

Chongzhen sneered a few times and said, "Do you think I won't know anything if you don't say it?" Luo Yangxing told me that you acted recklessly outside the palace, and actually opened a green building by yourself, and often played some fake phoenix tricks with women. A few days ago, when his subordinates followed Xia Nan, they found that he had entered your Qinglou, and later these subordinates were driven away by you. Is this how you and Xia Nan met? ”

Zhu Yujiao was like being struck by lightning, and it took a long time to come back to her senses and ask, "Father, you sent a brocade guard to check me?" She never expected that the actions she thought were very secret were under the surveillance of her father.

Chongzhen snorted and said, "Qin Tianjian said that you have a difficult life and must be raised outside the palace, otherwise you will die." But no matter what, you are a royal bloodline, and your every move represents the royal family, if I don't let the Jinyi guard stare at you a little, I'm afraid you will take a more crooked path. Now is not the time to talk about this, you have to answer my question: what is the relationship between you and Xia Nan, and why did you save him? ”

After all, Zhu Yujiao is only a fourteen-year-old girl, in a rebellious period, originally uneasy because she did something wrong, but knowing that Chongzhen was kind and benevolent on the surface, but after sending someone to spy on her behind her back, she was aroused by rebellion, and replied with a stiff neck: "Erchen just likes him, what's the matter?" ”

Chongzhen exploded when he heard it, who likes it can't like Xia Nan? He was furious, picked up a paperweight and was about to beat Zhu Yujiao, and said sharply: "You actually said that you like him?" Do you know who he is and what he has done? Just an hour ago, he led a large army to besiege the imperial city, forcing me to make an alliance under the city, I have never suffered such humiliation in the eight years since I ascended the throne, who can I find to be a concubine, I have to find him? ”

In fact, Zhu Yujiao is more of a state of worship and attachment to Xia Nan, there may not be much like between men and women, but as soon as her stubborn temper comes up, she is unwilling to give in, and while avoiding Chongzhen's pursuit, she shouted: "I just like him, I just like him!" ”

"No, no matter what, you can't have any more contact with him, cut off all contact immediately, and never see each other again!"

Zhu Yujiao was very depressed, she was sent out of the palace since she was a child, her father and mother rarely took the initiative to care about herself, one would only bury her head in reviewing the chapters, and the other only had the prince in her eyes, and now she finally met a few times, but she learned that she had been under the surveillance of her father, and finally even interfered with anyone she knew, and couldn't help but retort: "Since you put me outside the palace to raise me, don't care about my life or death, when you ignore me, how could I be a royal princess?" ”

Chongzhen replied coldly: "Who let you be born in the emperor's family?" Xia Nan went against me, and I said that if you want to cut off all contact with him, you must break it! ”

Zhu Yujiao surged up in one breath and blurted out: "I can't break it, he and I already have the reality of husband and wife!" When she said this, she didn't think about the consequences.

Chongzhen was like being struck by lightning, stumbled, and came back to his senses for a long time. After reacting, he was furious, pulled out a sword hanging on the wall, and slashed at Zhu Yujiao. Zhu Yujiao never imagined that her father would cut herself with a sword, so she was stupid for a while, and stood motionless.

When the sword was about to slash to the top of Zhu Yujiao's head, Chongzhen saw Zhu Yujiao who was at a loss, thinking of her coquettish appearance under Chenghuan's knees on weekdays, her heart softened, her hand shook, and the blade was a few inches off and slashed on her left arm.

The cold light flashed, blood splashed everywhere, Zhu Yujiao screamed miserably, and her left arm was cut off alive, broken at the shoulder.

Wang Chengen, who was on the side, originally looked at his nose and nose, and planned to stay out of the matter, as if he didn't see the dispute between the father and daughter, after all, the emperor's family affairs were not something that he could get involved with as a house slave. But things took such a quick turn, and before he could react, the tragedy had already happened.

Zhu Yujiao was already in a coma in pain, and blood flowed all over the ground. Chongzhen's hand trembled, and with a "dang long" sound, the sword fell to the ground.

"What are you minions still doing in a daze, quickly pass on the imperial doctor!"

Outside the capital.

"Don't!"

Xia Nan was half-asleep and half-awake, saw this bloody tragedy and shouted loudly.

The curtain was lifted, and Chiyo Shimazu's pretty face leaned in and asked, "Master, what's wrong, are you having a nightmare?" ”

Xia Nan opened his eyes, looked left and right, and after his brain cleared up, he remembered that he was in the carriage, he fell asleep, and it was just a dream just now. It's just that this dream is too real, as if it happened in front of my eyes. Although he didn't have any thoughts about Zhu Yujiao, the Lori, he still had a good impression of this eccentric and unconventional princess, not to mention that she saved her life in the barracks, and she was considered a life-saving benefactor, even if she saw this scene in a dream, she still felt very uncomfortable.

He made up his mind, told himself it was just a dream, and asked, "Where are you now?" ”

Shimazu Chiyo replied: "I heard from them, I have already arrived in Tongzhou, and I will be able to reach Tianjin tomorrow......"

After leading a large army in the capital and getting everything he wanted, Xia Nan did not waste time, and left the capital on the same day, returned to Tianjin, and went south by sea. The capital is not a place to stay for a long time, Chongzhen and Yang Sichang hate themselves to the bone, there must be vicious tricks against themselves, the open gun is easy to dodge and the dark arrow is difficult to prevent, it is better to leave as soon as possible. However, there have been too many accidents during this time, it is a big battle against Tartars, and it is a battle of wits and courage with Yang Sichang, and he has also walked through the Ghost Gate Pass once, no matter how good his energy is, he can't support it in the summer, he didn't ride a horse, but lay down on the carriage to rest, and fell asleep after a few bumps on the road.

Hearing that Xia Nan woke up, Sima De came to ask for instructions.

"General, after going to sea from Tianjin Port, will you return directly to Qiongzhou or make a detour to Shandong?"

Xia Nan said without hesitation: "Go to Shandong first, I have some things to deal with." "The first step in taking control of Shandong is to consolidate the victory to meet my future plans.
