After the bonfire dinner, Chu Yunning yawned and returned to the camp. Bi Xiu had already warmed her bed.

"Thank you, Bixiu."

The military camp under the moonlight gradually returned to calm, and most people fell asleep.

Only Emperor Mingwen stood in front of the tent and couldn't calm down for a long time. Eunuch Mo on the side saw this and bent forward: "Your Majesty, it's late at night, it's time to go back and rest."

"Hmm." Emperor Mingwen hummed lightly, rubbing the tips of his two fingers lightly,

He seemed a little irritable, and there was an unconcealable sadness between his brows.

Eunuch Mo probably guessed that Chu Yunning was the only one who could make the emperor so worried.

"Is the Emperor thinking about Chu Shanggong?"

Emperor Mingwen turned his head and squinted at Eunuch Mo. He was so frightened that Eunuch Mo's legs softened and he knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, this slave deserves to die. I should not presume to speculate on the Emperor's thoughts."

"Get up."

Even Eunuch Mo could see it, so how could someone as smart as Chu Yunning not see it.

"I am the king of a country, but I am submissive in the face of feelings. Even I look down on myself."

Emperor Mingwen's face was tense, and he swallowed back the words that came to his lips several times. He was worried that if he directly exposed them, he would embarrass the other party.

What if the other party doesn’t have this intention?

Isn’t it like forcing someone to do something difficult?

Mo Gonggong said: "Your Majesty, please don't say that. Chu Shanggong is not an ordinary woman. She just has some things she can't help herself with."

Emperor Mingwen raised his eyebrows and glanced sideways at Eunuch Mo, gesturing for him to continue.

"The most important thing for a woman's family is reputation. Chu Shanggong is a harmonious person, and the Chu family is also a famous family in the capital. If Chu Shanggong does whatever he wants, where will the reputation of the Chu family be placed in the future?"

Eunuch Mo has been following Emperor Mingwen all year round, dealing with the former dynasty and the harem. He is like a man of spirit, and some things can be revealed at a glance.

"Chu Shanggong not only has to worry about the reputation of the Chu family, but also the reputation of the little prince, and the fate of Concubine Yang in the past..."

He paused mid-sentence, fearing that Emperor Mingwen would be angry. He quietly raised his head and saw that Emperor Mingwen was thoughtful, with no anger on his face. Then he boldly continued: "I'm afraid that the censors and officials will be there after returning to the palace."

, a person can drown someone just by spitting."

When Emperor Mingwen heard this, his confusion seemed to be lifted away, and he looked at Eunuch Mo approvingly.

"You are quite transparent!"

He kept this in mind.

Xu finally figured it out and turned back to rest.

The next morning, Chu Yunning lifted up the quilt and first went to visit Beibei. Bixiu said: "The little prince was taken away by the emperor early in the morning to take a knowledge test. I guess he will be back soon."

Hearing this, Chu Yunning started to prepare lunch, opened the curtain and walked out. The smell of the New Year had not dissipated when Deputy General Li suddenly ran over holding his bloody wound. His face was ashen. After walking a few steps, he staggered and suddenly fainted.

.

"Vice General Li!" Bixiu shouted.

Several passers-by quickly helped Deputy General Li into the camp. Chu Yunning hurriedly followed him and checked the injuries on Deputy General Li's body. He saw that his left arm was severely cut, revealing the white bones, and the wound had begun to flow.

There were black blood stains, which was obviously poisoning.

Without saying a word, Chu Yunning sealed several of Lieutenant General Li's acupuncture points and used a clean dagger to open up the rotting flesh.

"Ah!" Vice General Li woke up from the pain and looked at her with a pale face: "Both princesses are spies sent by Xihai..."

After saying this, Vice General Li fainted again.

"Where are the two princesses?" Chu Yunning turned around and asked the guards on the side.

The two princesses had subdued them in the shortest possible time, but unfortunately they had committed suicide by biting their tongues.

Chu Yunning frowned, why did the princess who had agreed to marry suddenly betray her?

"Oh, Chu Shang Palace, I have been looking for you for a long time." Eunuch Mo opened the curtain and came in. When he saw Deputy General Li's face at first glance, he was shocked: "Is Deputy General Li being assassinated?"

"Did something happen with the Emperor?" Chu Yunning asked anxiously when she saw him coming.

Eunuch Mo shook his head: "This is not true, it is a matter between the two princesses. It seems that Chu Shang Palace already knows about it."

Chu Yunning breathed a sigh of relief that nothing happened to the emperor, and devoted all her efforts to treating Vice General Li. She removed the rotten flesh, spread antidote on the wound, felt his pulse, and watched as his face gradually returned to calm, and she had already

I was so busy that I was sweating profusely.

After giving some instructions to the people close to her, she followed Eunuch Mo and left, bending down and entering the tent.

Beibei sat on the table and copied the copybook quietly. Chu Yunning saw that he was writing seriously and did not bother him. When he came to the other side, Emperor Mingwen was reviewing the memorial with his pen. Seeing that the ink was almost gone, Chu Yunning

Take the initiative to reach out and help with grinding.

Perhaps he noticed someone approaching, and Emperor Mingwen said without raising his head: "Yunlan secretly recruited more than 200,000 soldiers and horses to fight with Xihai for a few days, but somehow he reconciled, and Xihai withdrew from Nanyang City.

.”

"Is the Emperor worried that Yunlan will cooperate with Xihai?"

Emperor Mingwen nodded, holding the memorial in his hand and suddenly clasping it shut, thinking in his heart: "There are some things that we have to guard against."

"Then what will the emperor do next? Should he continue to attack Dongling, or should he stay put and stay put?"

If we go further, it will be equivalent to leaving the border town to the rear.

If you stay put, it will waste time on the one hand, and give Dongling a chance to breathe on the other.

Emperor Mingwen suddenly raised his lips and smiled.

This smile made Chu Yunning feel a little panicked, and unconsciously even forgot about the work in hand.

"I want to attack Dongling, but I also want to stay in the rear!"

…

Nanyang City

Princess Yu'an looked irritably at the letters one after another sent by Queen Yunlan. Each letter repeatedly asked her to protect the deposed Prince Yunlan.

Suddenly, a shadow fell over her eyes. Princess Yu'an raised her eyes and looked at the visitor shyly.

Prince Li Mingyu took the letter from her hand, crumpled it into a ball and threw it into the stove. The open flame instantly licked the paper, burned it into a ball and turned into ashes.

"The deposed prince has lost his mind. If it can make the Queen happy, it doesn't matter if he lives."

During this period, Princess Yu'an was constantly tormenting the deposed prince and almost killed him!

Princess Yu'an sneered: "It's time to show concern. If she hadn't favored him behind his back at all times, would she have ended up like this today?"

"Princess, calm down." Li Mingyu held a cup of tea and handed it over. Princess Yu'an reached out to take it and drank most of the cup. Suddenly she put it down suddenly: "The Emperor of the South End shamelessly killed the Prince of Nancheng and captured the East.

The first city in the mausoleum is just a bargain, it’s all because that idiot, the eldest prince of Xihai, really believed that there would be a gold mine in Nanyang City!”

Princess Yu'an never imagined that the weakest country at the time would become overwhelmingly powerful in such a short period of time.

"If I hadn't been clever enough to open the city gate in time and let the eldest prince send people to search the entire Nanyang City before he gave up, we would have been in bad luck right now."

In order to protect herself, Princess Yu'an took the initiative to propose conditions for cooperation. The cooperation between the two countries was headed by Xihai. When the war was over, Yunlan was willing to give up two cities and dedicate them to Xihai.

The eldest prince of Xihai immediately agreed upon hearing this, and sent a message to the two princesses who were stationed in Nanduan Country overnight, asking them to report the news of Nanduan in time.

"Princess really wants to cooperate with Xihai?" Li Mingyu asked.

Princess Yu'an raised her eyebrows: "Of course not. My life is still in the hands of Chu Yunning. How can I cooperate with Xihai? I just want to teach Xihai a lesson. No matter who wins, Xihai or Nanduan."

Negative, there is no harm to us.”

"Princess, is she planning to withdraw her troops midway?" Li Mingyu asked in surprise.

Princess Yu'an shook her head and wrote a letter herself and handed it to Li Mingyu: "I also ask the Crown Prince to make a trip in person. Apart from the Crown Prince, no one in this palace can trust me."

Li Mingyu took the letter and put it in his arms.

"I just don't want to imitate the south end's internal and external cooperation."

The southern end borrowed 50,000 troops, and attacked from inside and outside, so we could win. If she followed suit.

When Xihai and Nanduan are fighting together, they temporarily turn against the enemy and defeat Xihai together with Nanduan. What is the effect?

Two cities?

dream!

Li Mingyu's letter was successfully delivered to Emperor Mingwen, and he explained Yunlan's very detailed plan.

Emperor Mingwen treated Li Mingyu well, and then discussed it with Chu Yunning and several lieutenants.

"Your Majesty, what's the difference between Yunlan doing this and being a fool? It was Yunlan who summoned the Three Kingdoms to attack the southern end. Yunlan has a close relationship with Xihai in private, and Xihai is even more of a bastard. He sent two princesses to marry him.

Come on, it turns out to be a spy!"

"That's right, you can't believe this at all."

The requirements of several lieutenants are the same, and Yunlan Kingdom cannot be trusted casually.

Emperor Mingwen glanced sideways at Chu Yunning: "What does Chu Shang Palace think?"
