The night is as blurred as a painting, and everything is silent. Although the sound of cannons rumbling that night, few ordinary people know what happened.

When Zixia and Hou Haitang formed an alliance, Li Chong and Li Long walked away quietly.

While Li Chong and Li Long quietly walked away, Han Yue returned to the palace all the way.

When he stepped into Li Shimin's bedroom, Yuchi Jingde had already taken Hou Junji to kneel outside Empress Changsun's bedroom for half an hour.

The wind was blowing late at night, and it was a cool breeze. Queen Changsun has recovered now, but she has never shown up from beginning to end.

Hou Junji couldn't stand up and kept kowtowing on the bluestone slab. Although the blood was blowing, he ignored the pain and just begged: "Empress, it's not worth merciless to die, but how innocent my little girl is? She shouldn't have suffered a tragic disaster. Please beg the lady to be kind and help her..."

Poor parents in the world!

At this moment, Hou Junji did not look like a tycoon of the Ministry of War in the current dynasty. He was just a man who worked hard for his daughter.

The piety in the world is the most touching. The night is quiet and cool, and the spring is chilly. Some palace maids in the queen's bedroom have sympathy in their eyes. Although they dare not come out to observe, they can't help but peek out the door quietly.

After a long time, Changsun's voice finally sounded softly, and he sighed: "How do you want me to help? The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. The serious crime of treason you have committed. All laws of the Tang Dynasty are kind, but the crime of treason cannot be spared lightly..."

When the queen was able to speak, Hou Junji was immediately overjoyed. He didn't care about the blood flowing from his forehead. He walked forward with his knees for a few steps and shouted: "Empress, merciful, the criminals do not ask for their own forgiveness. I only ask you to withdraw the engagement between your daughter and Li Chengqian and remarry her to Your Highness as your wife."

"absurd……"

Changsun shouted softly, with anger faintly in his tone.

Hou Junji shivered for a moment and couldn't help but say, "If you can't be a wife, then you can be a Teng. If you are not qualified to be a Teng, then you can accept it if you want a little girl to be a concubine. In short, I would like you to be kind and must give me a trick. She is so gentle and gentle. Don't you like her very much, too?"

He kept begging hard, almost leaning down and lying on the ground. This expression made people feel pity. Changsun was also a mother, and was finally touched by a hint of softness.

The queen was silent for a long time and sighed quietly: "Although I hate you for rebellion, I respect you for your daughter. But how do you ask me to help you? The engagement between Haitang and Chengqian was signed since childhood. It was not only from the mouth of Your Majesty, but also written into the royal family genealogy. The entire Twelve Dadao of the Tang Dynasty also issued a general article, and when the engagement was signed, he also had a general amnesty for the world..."

Changsun was right. At that time, Li Chengqian was the crown prince, and the crown prince's wife was the crown prince's concubine. According to common sense, this is the character who wants to be the next generation of queens.

Although it was just a marriage contract, it was necessary to issue an order to inform the world. Li Shimin even issued a decree to use the marriage contract to amnesty the world once.

Although it has political purposes, it is well known to everyone.

Now Hou Junji is here to ask Changsun to cancel the engagement. Even if she is the queen of a country, she feels it is difficult. Not to mention whether there is any possibility of this matter, just embarrassment can kill the royal family.

Since ancient times, how can there be any saying that the royal family breaks the engagement?

"Empress, please be kind, please be kind..." Hou Junji also knew that this was not easy to do, but this was his last wish. The general knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing, and the bluestone slabs were pounding.

"You get up first!" Changsun felt soft-hearted and sighed quietly.

She slowly walked to the door of the bedroom and felt even more and more unbearable when she saw the founding Duke of the Tang Dynasty's Tang Dynasty's face covered in blood.

"General Yuchi, go and call an imperial physician over. Although Hou Junji committed a serious crime, he was a hero of the Tang Dynasty after all. Before His Majesty judged him, I cannot let him suffer such sin..."

Yuchi Jingde quickly bowed his hand and agreed, and walked to the Imperial Hospital.

Hou Junji still knelt on the ground and couldn't get up. When he saw Empress Changsun appear, he suddenly felt hope in his heart, so he kowtowed and kowtowed even more piously.

"Get up and talk while standing."

Changsun's face was a little annoyed and said angrily: "I don't take good care of the great tyrants of the country, and I have to do rebellious things? Your Majesty asked you to be the Minister of War. Why are you confused? How dare you provoke Yue'er from this palace?"

Hou Junji slowly got up from the ground and said bitterly: "The criminal is a tough temper and is a waste in this life."

"I deserve it!"

Changsun spat, but he was still soft-hearted. He suddenly smiled bitterly and sighed softly: "Haitang's matter is not easy to deal with, and I don't know what Your Majesty will make a decision. This time you are suspected of treason, and my children are also suspected of treason..."

She stopped slightly and said bitterly: "I'm afraid Chengqian's prince's title will not be able to be saved. Although you break off the engagement means to take advantage of the situation, but parents in the world love their children, and I am not qualified to scold you for being selfish."

Hou Junji shook his head quickly and said solemnly: "My lady, don't misunderstand me. I, Hou Junji, are definitely not a vain person. Even if His Highness Chengqian's title has not been removed, the criminals would have wanted to terminate the engagement for them."

Changsun smiled coldly and said, "To put it nicely, after you terminate the engagement, you want Haitang to marry Yue'er. What is this not greed for vanity?"

Hou Junji lowered his head and said sadly: "The criminal was suspected of treason and was executed by law. As a woman, Haitang may save her life, but she will lose the protection of the criminal, and she may be regarded as a camp girl. You have been sitting in the deep palace for a long time and don't know about foreign affairs. How can the singer let Haitang do it? The little woman is very tough with me. She will definitely be unwilling to be humiliated and commit suicide..."

Changsun suddenly remained silent.

As the queen of a country, how could she really not understand anything? She also heard about the ending of the children of the criminals of the Tang Dynasty. The adult man was killed, the old woman and the children were exiled. As for the young girl, it is likely to be used as a camp girl. To put it bluntly, it is the activity of sleeping with the soldiers.

After a long time, Changsun spoke again and pondered: "The girl Haitang is very filial on weekdays. She is gentle and gentle, and is a decent and generous child. I also love her a little bit and don't want to see her ending like this..."

Hou Junji was overjoyed and kowtowed again, "Empress, merciful, please help me. Now the crime is over, Cheng Qian will also remove the title of prince. The crime was his Majesty's direct lineage and offended too many aristocratic families in the court. Once I die, these people will definitely come to take revenge on my family. Only the Great Highness can protect her daughter, please let her marry."

Changsun frowned and thoughtfully, and suddenly said, "Where is Haitang now?"

Hou Junji was stunned and said unsurely: "Before the criminal came here, the little girl was still facing the wall of the royal palace, but she was killed by the command of the Lord Highness, and the army sent by His Majesty swept across the country. I don't know where the little girl is now. If the army did not arrest her, I think she should still be in the royal palace."

Changsun nodded slowly and said, "Since that's the case, I will send someone to find that girl. Don't delay here. Your Majesty should not sleep now. You can go there and take the thorns and apologize."

At this time, Yuchi Jingde came with an imperial physician. Changsun waved his hand and said, "I'm sorry General Yuchi, please help me, please bandage your forehead, and then take him to your Majesty. The night is deep, so I won't leave you here."

Yuchi Jingde agreed respectfully, but Hou Junji was very worried and couldn't help but say again: "Empress, what's going on with the little girl..."

Changsun Da looked at him with a deep meaning and said coldly: "Don't worry about this matter, some words need to be heard between us women. This palace will send someone to search for Haitang. You can go to His Majesty to apologize."

Hou Junji heard the hint in the queen's tone and was immediately delighted. He kowtowed three times respectfully and said tears: "If you can get rid of everything, if you can help the little girl change her destination and allow her to enjoy the protection of Your Highness in the second half of your life, then even if the criminal is in the nine springs, he will be grateful to the empress every night."

Changsun felt pity in his heart, and suddenly waved his hand vigorously. She turned her head and refused to look at Hou Junji, scolding: "Yuchi won't take him away yet. Your Majesty is still waiting for you to go in Tai Chi Palace."

Yuchi Jingde nodded quickly, reached out to pull Hou Junji up, dragged him away from the queen's bedroom quickly. The imperial physician looked at the queen carefully, and then hurriedly followed the two of them.

Changsun sighed slightly and ordered the palace maids and eunuchs to close the door of the bedroom.

Outside the bedroom, the imperial physician chased Wei Chi Jingde and Hou Junji. He was about to ask Hou Junji to stop and bandage him, but Yuchi Jingde suddenly spoke and sighed, "Don't give him a bag, just go to see Your Majesty with blood. Although it will cause pain and suffering, it will make Your Majesty pity. Junji's death penalty is inevitable, but I also want you to have a decent way of death. I can't help you. This is the second thing..."

There is a reason for Yuchi Jingde to say this. Although bandaging the forehead is just a trivial matter, it was an order issued by Empress Changsun himself. Now he has stopped the imperial physician from bandaging Hou Junji, which is strictly speaking, it still violated the queen's imperial edict.

The imperial physician was also a loyal and honest man. He bowed and said, "Since the general said that, I just have to go back to study medicine books. The two dukes are easy to go all the way, and I will go back to the Imperial Hospital."

"Walk slowly but not send it..."

The imperial physician bowed his hand again and hurried away with the medicine box on his back.

Hou Junji suddenly saluted Yuchi Jingde and said, "Brother Yuchi helped me deeply, Hou Junji is grateful."

"I don't help you much. Your Majesty has a brilliant vision. You can't hide the small tricks of bleeding from your forehead. Whether you can save your life depends on God's fortune..."

Hou Junji shook his head slowly and said, "I am not grateful for this matter. I deserve to betray the rebellion. Since ancient times, the king has succeeded and defeated the enemy. Hou Junji has nothing to say. What I want to thank is that you took me to see the Empress. With the Empress spitting out, the little girl will have a home in the second half of her life. As for whether I die or live, hehe, I will be another hero in eighteen years..."

Yuchi Jingde sighed in a deep voice, his face clearly with regret.

The two of them walked through the palace, and suddenly the lights were bright in front of them. It was where Li Shimin's Taiji Hall stood. There were countless Yulin Guards walking back and forth around them. It was obvious that the emperor had not been asleep.

"Get in!"

Yuchi Jingde's eyes flashed, and he suddenly turned around and stopped looking at Hou Junji.

Hou Junji carefully tidied up his clothes, then solemnly saluted Yuchi Jingde. Yuchi Jingde nodded, took out the hemp rope from his arms and tied his hands.

Hou Junji looked at him, turned around and raised his head and chest, and walked towards the gate of Taiji Hall.

"Your Majesty, the criminal minister, Hou Junji, came late at night, carried a thorn to apologize for his crime, and asked you to see him..."
