She is no longer the innocent girl she was back then, how can she still believe the emperor's statement of "I'm embarrassed, you have to be sensible"?

She smiled bitterly in her heart, looked at the emperor, and said word by word: "The concubine knows Your Majesty's difficulties, and you don't embarrass Your Majesty. ”

The emperor frowned, and after a while, he spoke in a deep voice, "Ruowei, you know that I don't want to hurt you. ”

His slight gesture of favor did not get half a cent, and Princess Rong still asked step by step: "Your Majesty doesn't want to hurt your concubines, so you want to use the lives of others to save your concubines?

At this point, Princess Rong paused, and then said categorically: "Your Majesty should know the temperament of the concubine, Qingqiu's girl and Changfeng have been married since childhood, and she is now the daughter-in-law recognized by the concubine, that is the concubine's family." ”

"At present, King Rong is not in the mansion, and there is only one concubine left in the Shu family, and the affairs of the family are all decided by the concubines. Therefore, if the family does something wrong, it should naturally be borne by the concubine. Your Majesty, if you want to blame me, blame me entirely. ”

Hearing this, a trace of anger flashed on the emperor's face, and he turned a dark face and asked in a cold voice, "Are you threatening me?"

The Shu family is the most prestigious family of military generals in the Celestial Empire, even if there is only one daughter of Princess Rong left, there are many side branches.

These people are all looking at the princess, and it can be said that if anyone moves her easily, the entire court will shake it.

Didn't she mention this matter specifically to remind herself of this? The emperor, who soon figured out the trick, became more and more displeased.

But Princess Rong only replied lightly: "The concubine doesn't dare." ”

She had a fearless look on her face, which made the emperor more and more irritable, "Don't go too far!"

"Excessive?" Princess Rong suddenly laughed, she glanced at the emperor casually, and asked, "Haven't I done anything more excessive?" Also, this time is different from the past, there was someone to protect me at that time, and now that the prince is in the north, I should naturally learn to protect myself. ”

After saying a word, he kowtowed heavily on the ground, "The concubine is all she says, I hope Your Majesty will think twice before acting." ”

With that, she got up and left, leaving the emperor with a cold back.

......

At noon, in the suburban woods thirty miles away from Qingzhou City.

It has been ten days since the departure of the 10,000-strong army, and for these ten days, they have been traveling day and night, and the whole army has almost completely failed to close their eyes.

Seeing that he was about to arrive in Qingzhou, Ge Qingqiu was sick.

As soon as she was so ill, the whole army immediately panicked.

Before leaving, this group of soldiers already knew the relationship between this girl and Rong Wangfu, so now, she is as precious as the Bodhisattva in the eyes of everyone.

Someone immediately came to persuade her not to be reckless, stop and rest for a few days before continuing to walk, but before she finished speaking, she was rejected without hesitation.

Commander Li, who was taught by her last time, was a courageous person, and seeing that she was so sick that she could no longer find the north, he gave an order to stop the whole army, and forced her back to the camp to pour medicine.

This Commander Li has always said nothing in the army, and as soon as he speaks, how can anyone dare to refute it?

Ge Qingqiu had no choice but to listen to him and rest for two days. Until this day, when her body was better, she immediately summoned Commander Li to her camp, indicating that the army could be opened.

When Commander Li heard this, he immediately objected: "No, girl, look at your face, it's whiter than that paper." Although the fever has subsided, who knows if it will recur? The doctor said that you will have to observe for two more days. ”

Ge Qingqiu took a deep breath and told herself in her heart: She wants to reason with this big boss!

She raised her head, squeezed out a stiff smile at the other party, and persuaded bitterly: "Great Commander, I'm fine, I'm here this time in the hope of helping everyone, not to add to the burden." Isn't it my sin if I delay everyone's march because I'm alone?"

Commander Li still shook his head and slowed down his tone, "Don't worry, girl, this trip can't be delayed." What's more, after driving for such a long time, not only the girl, but also other people can't stand it. Our group of people are going to help the prince, not to cause chaos. If everyone is sick when they arrive in Qingzhou, how can it be good?"

What he said really made Ge Qingqiu unable to find the slightest room for refutation. She hung her head and thought for a while, and then raised her head helplessly: "Okay, I'll ...... again"

She hadn't finished her sentence here, and suddenly, she saw Commander Li's face change, and she said in a deep voice: "It's not good!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he walked quickly out of the tent.

Ge Qingqiu saw that the situation was wrong, and immediately followed.

As soon as Commander Li came out of the camp, he found a high and raised dirt slope, lay on the dirt slope and listened carefully for a while, then turned around and made a gesture to the soldiers patrolling on the side.

In the past few days, Ge Qingqiu has been in the army, and he basically understands what these gestures mean.

She knew that Commander Li was telling the soldier that there might be enemy troops, so she was on guard, so she immediately stepped forward and asked, "How many are there?"

"About ......," Commander Li leaned on the ground again, listened for a while, and then wrinkled his eyebrows and said, "More than five thousand." ”

"So much!"

Ge Qingqiu frowned, his face full of worry.

She knew that what Commander Li said was not all about coaxing herself.

In the past ten days, everyone has been rushing day and night, and now everyone is indeed sleepy and tired.

What's more, the Beixuan soldiers have always been brave, so now whether their 10,000 people can beat the 5,000 people of the Shangjia family is really unknown.

She knows this truth, and Commander Li knows it even better.

Almost at the same moment, Commander Li took out a delicate dagger from his waist and stuffed it into her hand, and said with a solemn face: "Don't worry, girl, the last general will swear to protect the girl to the death." Someone!"

Ge Qingqiu frowned, took the dagger and asked, "What does the Great Commander want to do?"

As soon as the words fell, a soldier had already stood aside, waiting for Commander Li's orders.

He turned his head and was about to speak, but Ge Qingqiu hurriedly preemptively said: "Great Commander, I have already said that I came with me this time to help everyone, not to cause chaos." Do you think I'm a burden now that you're going to divide people to protect me?"

Grand Commander Li frowned, "Girl, the situation is urgent now, not the time for you to be willful. You, now send Miss Ge to leave on the path, be sure to protect Miss Ge and send it to Qingzhou safely. ”

He still wanted people to take Ge Qingqiu away, but the woman glared at the soldier who was going to pull him viciously, and said angrily: "You dare to touch me!"

The soldier knew that the daughter-in-law in front of him was recognized by Princess Rong, so he naturally didn't dare to really do anything rough with her.
