Maybe she was really too tired. Mu Qingwan slept for a long time. At night, she reluctantly got up and ate something. She returned to her dreamland, where she saw the happiness of her childhood, the love of her father and queen, the gentleness of brother Hengzhi, Mo Ge and Biying and the others.

The sisterly love, Xia Houlie's cruelty, and Xia Houlie's goodness all appeared intertwined in her dream.

When she dreamed of Helian Hengzhi and Biying, the sweetness only lasted for a short time. Their faces soon turned ferocious, staring at her fiercely, threatening to push her into hell.

The dream flooded her whole body like cold sea water, and the cold feeling invaded her bone marrow bit by bit. She was so uncomfortable that every cell in her body screamed in discomfort.

When she woke up from the endless nightmare, the world was filled with sunshine, but her heart became increasingly gloomy.

She thought she could forget the two people who hurt her deeply, but it turned out that she was not that strong. Those lost good things were still firmly rooted in her heart. Helian Hengzhi once treated her well, and Biying once treated her so well.

All his loyalty to her will become a memory that invades her bone marrow.

To this day, she can't bring herself to deal with them.

She slowly got up, got dressed and was about to open the door when there was a sudden knock on the door. Her heart tightened and she immediately opened the door and saw Leng Ji standing outside, "What happened?"

Leng Ji raised the letter in his hand and said, "This was just sent from the Xichu Palace. The person who came looks like he is wearing a guard from the palace. He asked me to give this letter to you..."

Mu Qingwan quickly took it. When she saw the familiar handwriting on it, her eyebrows skipped a beat. Could it be that something happened to her father, queen and mother?

While she was worried, her hands had already torn open the envelope as fast as possible. The elegant small-scale characters on the letter paper came into her eyes one by one. Looking at the content above, her eyes opened wider and wider, and the blood on her face changed.

Fading away little by little.

Leng Ji frowned watching from the side. Seeing her hands hanging down feebly, she hurriedly asked:

"Master Wan, who is the letter from? What is written?"

Mu Qingwan did not answer, but silently handed him the letter.

As soon as Leng Ji finished reading, his face became extremely solemn and he blurted out:

"Master Wan, you don't really believe it, do you? The master definitely doesn't want to monopolize Xichu. He would give up his country for you, so how could he find such an excuse to take advantage of Xichu? You..."

Before he could finish speaking, Mu Qingwan reached out and interrupted him, saying calmly: "I have no doubts..."

"Then why..." He looked at her pale face.

Mu Qingwan pursed her lips and said, "Do you know who wrote this letter to me?"

Leng Ji shook his head.

"It's my mother's handwriting. It can be seen that it was written by her herself, not someone else's forgery."

Leng Ji frowned and thought for a while, then said:

"Not many people know that we came to Xichu. Even the master kept it secret. How did the Empress of Xichu know that you had come here? And she also knew about the inn where we were staying..."

"That's the problem." Mu Qingwan took the letter and read it again, confirming that it was written by Queen Min, her eyebrows furrowed more and more, "I'm worried that this letter was written by the Queen Mother under the coercion of others... I mean

To sow discord and cause discord between Xi Chu and Bei Yan..."

Hearing this, Leng Ji glanced at her hesitantly, and Mu Qingwan hurriedly urged: "Are you hiding something from me?"

"Actually... actually King Xichu and your brother don't trust the master, and they even sent people to monitor every move of the master. On the surface, they have a cooperative relationship, but Xichu has always been very wary of Beiyan.

My eldest brother previously advised my master to write you a letter asking you to make peace with the King of Western Chu and the others, but my master was afraid of worrying you, so he didn’t let you know..."

"Is there such a thing?" Mu Qingwan was dumbfounded. After thinking about it carefully, she was right.

Because Xia Houlie used force to force him to marry her, his father had always been resentful.

Needless to say, the prince's brother and Xia Houlie have disliked each other since childhood. Now, Helian Hengzhi and Murong Chen's coalition forces are suppressing the border. It has nothing to do with Beiyan, but Xiahou Lie has brought so many soldiers and horses to help Western Chu. It is inevitable that

It makes people wonder if they want to take this opportunity to reap the benefits when both sides suffer.

"In this case, the situation is even more complicated." Mu Qingwan walked to the window and looked at the palace in the distance, then looked at the letter in her hand, "Leng Ji, please make arrangements quickly, I want to enter the palace immediately..."

"The situation is still unclear, Lord Wan, let's wait for a while..."

After all, war is not a child's play. If you are not careful, you may die. Besides, she is pregnant now.

"We can't wait any longer! There are two possibilities for why the Queen Mother wrote this letter: the first is that she was coerced by others and had no choice but to do it. If this is the case, then the Queen Mother must be in danger now; the second is that

Being deceived by others and misunderstanding that Xia Houlie really wanted to monopolize Western Chu, if

If this is the case, she will definitely tell her father and brother that the alliance between Beiyan and Xichu will collapse by then. Once they cannot cooperate, both Beiyan and Xichu will be in great danger... So

No matter what, I have to go to the palace now..."

Her analysis was all very correct. Even if Leng Ji still wanted to stop it, she knew it was impossible.

However, entering the palace was not as smooth as expected. After finally reaching the Xichu Palace, I saw that all the city gates were tightly closed, and a deafening cry of death could be heard in the distance.

"Oh no, Helian Hengzhi and the others have begun to attack the city."

Mu Qingwan only felt her head buzzing. She was also a martial arts practitioner, so her ears were naturally better than ordinary people's. What's more, the shouting of kill was so loud, even if she wanted to pretend not to hear it.

impossible.

"Master Wan, my master will definitely find a way to protect you, the King of Western Chu, and the others. Let's avoid the limelight first, okay? When the two armies are fighting, it is easy to be in danger..."

Mu Qingwan was now standing at the gate of the city with a big belly. Seeing the shouts of death getting closer and closer, he was already very anxious.

"No, now is the most critical time. I can't leave! I know Helian Hengzhi. He won't do anything he's not sure about. Now that he suddenly launches an attack, I'm afraid it has something to do with the letter just now... I have

I have a very strong feeling... My father, the Queen and my mother need me very much now..."

As she spoke, she suddenly felt a place in her arms becoming hot, like a lump of hot coals covering her chest. She lowered her head and reached out to touch it, and it turned out to be the ancient mirror. At this moment, even the totems on it began to rotate.

Circled around, she stared blankly. Leng Ji saw her staring intently at the mirror in her hand, and came over to take a look curiously. She was startled by this sight.

He was startled and said hurriedly: "Master Wan, what kind of strange thing is this?"

Mu Qingwan felt that her heart was beating harder and harder, and was beyond her control. A strong pulling force made her want to enter the palace immediately.

She hurriedly put away the ancient mirror, pulled Leng Ji's sleeves and said: "Don't ask so many questions, Leng Ji, use Qinggong to take me up to the tower quickly, it will be too late!"

Leng Ji had never seen her look so anxious before. He was shocked and stopped talking. He quickly followed his instructions and took her up to the tower, and the Dragon Shadow Guards quickly followed.

As soon as the group of people arrived on the city tower, they were regarded as enemies by the guards guarding the city, and they were immediately provoked to fight with each other. Mu Qingwan quickly showed her princess jade token and said:

"Don't panic. Look clearly. I am Princess Qingwan. I need to enter the palace for urgent matters. Please let us in quickly."

An older guard came up and took a closer look at Mu Qingwan's jade plaque to confirm that it was not a fake. Then he led the guards and shouted in unison:

"Your Royal Highness the Princess is a thousand years old!"

Mu Qingwan waved her hand, knowing that their ears were limited and could not hear the shouts of killing in the distance, so she quickly told them the situation. The city guards were shocked, but fortunately, the strategic plan had already been made.

Without appearing panicked, he quickly mobilized his troops and horses to prepare for the enemy's attack.

Seeing that the city tower was strong, Mu Qingwan thought that Helian Hengzhi might not be able to storm in for a while, so she quickly led Leng Ji and the others down the city tower and ran towards the palace.

There are Western Chu soldiers everywhere in the capital, patrolling everywhere and sending the people away.

In order to protect the Western Chu royal family, Xia Houlie had already led part of the main force into the capital to guard it. Mu Qingwan walked while looking for the soldiers of Beiyan, and finally saw the camp with the military flag of Beiyan in the southwest of the capital.

The ancient mirror in her arms was getting hotter and hotter, and as soon as she thought about seeing Xia Houlie soon, her heart began to beat fast.

However, she was disappointed. When she went to the tent and asked, she found out that Xia Houlie had entered the Western Chu Palace at noon to persuade the King of Western Chu to let the Northern Yan Guards enter the palace for their protection.

Mu Qingwan thought of Queen Min's letter, and for some reason, she suddenly had a very in her heart.

She knew that Xia Houlie was doing his best to protect her parents, but given the temperament of her father and brother, she might not believe him so easily, and she didn't know what kind of conflict would happen.

She was worried not only about Xia Houlie, but also about her father, the emperor, the queen, and her brother. She was so worried that she had no choice but to let Leng Ji find General Fuyuan, and told him that Helian Hengzhi and the others had already invaded, and asked them to prepare quickly.

Then he rushed to the palace without stopping.

*

After Queen Min finished writing the letter and handed it to Biying, she hurried to Mu Qingrong's Qinzheng Hall. At this time, their father and son were discussing how to respond to Xia Houlie.

Xia Houlie entered the palace at noon and said that he would send someone to protect them. The imperial guards of Xichu were naturally not as good as the Longying guards of Beiyan. It would be great to have their protection, but they were afraid of this.

It was Xia Houlie's trick, so he had to be comforted and waited in a palace. The father and son quickly came to the Qinzheng Palace to discuss countermeasures.

Originally, father and son had different opinions. After all, Mu Qingrong was old and had enjoyed a lifetime of glory and wealth. Naturally, he was a little greedy for life and feared death. He wanted to use Xia Houlie's military power to protect himself. However, Mu Zhongqing disagreed and said
