PFC Chapter 390 Northwest
Chapter 390 Northwest
"Seven princes?"
When Chen Fei's voice came, Bai Yanli's memory returned, and he looked at Chen Fei in front of him.
"You just said she was dead." Bai Yanli quickly followed her thoughts and said, "But in fact she is not dead, right?"
"That's right." Concubine Chen said, "I also always thought she was dead. After that, I got close to Emperor Zhou and gave birth to Zhou Zhuoqi to secure my position. All I did was to support the prince, Ning Zhuo's only son, to ascend the throne and avenge her." This is what Concubine Chen had been doing before.
Chen Fei exhaled lightly and said, "I only found out recently that she is not dead."
"It turns out that she was faking her death. General Xu from Daliang went to Dazhou just to give her a breath-holding pill. After she took it, she faked her death and was rescued by him and brought back to Daliang."
"Has Father known about this?"
exactly.
Thinking of this, Concubine Chen began to feel distressed again. She knelt down and said, "Seventh Prince, the Emperor has convicted Ning Zhuo of eloping with General Xu. He has already gone to the northwest to arrest him. He is accompanied by people from the General's Mansion. If the Seventh Prince does not stop him, your mother will be in real danger."
"She has already suffered a lot at the hands of the emperor in the first half of her life. She really shouldn't have to pay this price again."
"Seventh Prince! Concubine Chen looked at him with earnest eyes.
"How do you want me to save her?" Bai Yanli asked.
Concubine Chen had thought about this matter a long time ago, so she said: "Go to the northwest, listen to the emperor's words, accept the imperial decree, and become the crown prince!"
Bai Yanli's eyes sank slightly.

The northwest desert is filled with yellow sand.
There are often sandstorms in the northwest, and it was particularly strong today.
The strong wind swept in the dust, making it difficult for the prisoners who were busy in the sand to breathe even though they covered their mouths with scarves.
Some of them wanted to hide behind the city defenses that were being built, but before they could even sit down, they were whipped by the guards.
The guards were better protected. They whipped those who tried to slack off and shouted, "Stand up and work!"
"You're allowed to be lazy! You're allowed to be lazy!"
No matter whether they were men or women, young or old, the guards showed no mercy with the whip in their hands.
"Ah! Ah!" the prisoners shouted, dodging the whips and continuing to work. The scene was extremely cruel.
At this time, Zhou Ziyue, who was hiding in the corner of the city defense, covered his mouth with a gauze scarf and hurriedly asked Jiang Qin and Du to work to avoid being discovered.
The wind and sand are getting stronger.
Zhou Ziyue looked up at the sky full of sand, which seemed to cover the entire sky. A feeling of despair that the sky would never see the light of day began to grow in his chest.
The project was eventually stopped.
Because the wind and sand were so strong, the stones to be moved could not be seen. More importantly, a female prisoner was buried in the sand and had suffocated to death in the sand when she was found.
This is always unlucky.
So we will stop working for half a day today.
As everyone walked towards the tent, the wind died down a bit and at least they could breathe normally.
Mrs. Du had been working hard enough today, and now she had a mouthful of sand on top of it. She was almost going crazy with rage.
She was in a bad mood and was walking anxiously, so her foot slipped and she sat down directly on the sand slope. The slope was very steep and she was about to slide down.
If Jiang Qin, who had been supporting her, hadn't grabbed her, she would have rolled down the hillside.
"Mom, are you okay?" Jiang Qin hurried back and pulled her up.
Just as she was about to exert force, Mrs. Du suddenly raised her foot and kicked her in the stomach.
Jiang Qin was kicked down and rolled twice on the slope before she came to a stop.
Her headscarf was also rolled off, and she looked like she had emerged from the sand.
"You useless thing, you can't even help someone up, what else can you do?!" Mrs. Du said, and before she even got up, she slid over and kicked her.
Jiang Qin didn't dare to run, so she just lay there with her head in her hands and let her hit her.
She doesn't even need to be called.
Because she knew that no one would come to help her even if she shouted.
At this time, Zhou Ziyue's voice came. He had already climbed up the sand slope, and now he could only turn back. He also shouted irritably: "That's enough!"
However, his words were of no use at all, and Du did not stop at all.
Zhou Ziyue was so annoyed that he almost had a headache. He shouted angrily, "Jiang Qin, why don't you apologize? Do you want your mother to beat you to death?"
She apologized?
What did she do to apologize?! Jiang Qin was really fed up with this family's inexplicable logic. But she had no choice but to shout, "Mom, I was wrong. I didn't support you well. Please stop hitting me!"
Seeing that Mrs. Du still didn't listen, Zhou Ziyue could only helplessly say, "Mother!"
It's really hard for him to work every day, and he still has to deal with these trivial matters!
This Jiang Qin is also a waste!
He seemed quite smart and capable when he was in the Marquis' Mansion, but he turned out to be like a fool here, making his mother angry every day.
Since Zhou Ziyue shouted, Mrs. Du was indeed tired of beating him, so she stopped.
Jiang Qin could finally take a breath.
However, she immediately heard Zhou Ziyue's voice: "Hurry up and help your mother up. What are you doing? Do you still want to be beaten?"
