The sudden bad news made everyone's hearts sink. When they looked at each other, they saw each other's panic and fear.

The border is fighting again!

I don't know how many people died, I don't know how dangerous the war was, and I don't know if it would endanger the peace of the Central Plains......

Ah Chun is still young and doesn't know what wolf smoke is.

Gillian, who had studied history books, knew what was going on, and the smile on her heroic little face disappeared, and she opened her mouth in a silence and dullness: "Queen Mother, is there going to be a war?"

Gillian's voice is not like an ordinary girl, neither delicate nor delicate, crisp and neat, full of energy. This opening of the mouth immediately broke the suffocation in the Jiaofang Palace.

Gu Wanning calmed down and nodded slowly: "Yes." The wolf smoke has been ignited, which means that the border battle is very tense, and it also means that the enemy is menacing and difficult to resist. ”

In her memory, this year at the border should have been calm, and there was no earth-shattering war.

What went wrong?

An inexplicable uneasiness and shadow hit my heart.

Gillian frowned: "Then what now?"

Gu Guanning had already regained his composure: "Today's palace banquet, let's stop for the time being." Please go home first. ”

At this moment, no one is in the mood to go to the palace banquet. Hearing this, everyone got up and retreated.

Lin Ruxue didn't move, and said softly: "I'll stay here to accompany my mother." ”

Fu Yan, who had already stood up, was a little embarrassed. Fortunately, she was cheeky enough, and quickly sat down casually: "What my brother and sister said is that I will stay too." ”

Gu Wanning was not in the mood to say more, so he nodded slightly.

Empress Dowager Min, who was sitting beside Gu Wanning, was also shocked, and only now did she come back to her senses, her voice was full of confusion: "It's so dignified, why did you suddenly go to war?"

A war means that many people will die, it means that the people are flustered, and it means that the court is in turmoil......

Xiao Xu has only been on the throne for three years, and he has just stabilized the situation in the court, and he has encountered a war related to the stability of the country, can he cope with it?

The more Empress Dowager Min thought about it, the more panicked she became, and she muttered: "How can there be a war? What should I do now?"

"Don't panic. ”

Gu Wanning looked over, his eyes were calm, and there was a calming power in his voice: "The emperor has already led the hundred officials to discuss countermeasures." There are wars at the border every year. This time, I think that there are a lot of enemies who have invaded the border pass, and the situation is more urgent, so the wolf smoke will be burned. With the strength of the Great Qin Border Army, we will be able to win this battle!"

Gu Wanning's firm and powerful voice quickly calmed the panic and uneasiness of Empress Dowager Min.

At this time, the Empress Dowager Min finally remembered that it was the Marquis of Dingbei, Gu Guanning's eldest uncle Gu Song, who was guarding the border pass.

The Gu family has guarded the border pass for many years, and has always guarded the border pass for Daqin, and has never allowed foreign enemies to attack the Central Plains and slaughter the people. This time will certainly be no exception.

Empress Dowager Min took a deep breath: "You're right, we can't panic." ”

But what should be done now?

Gu Wanning's voice sounded again: "We don't have to do anything now, just wait in the Jiaofang Palace." The emperor discussed countermeasures with hundreds of officials, and he didn't know when he would return. ”

Empress Dowager Min nodded.

……

This is most of the day.

The waiting time is always extraordinarily long and difficult.

The children also noticed that the adults were flustered under their calm exteriors, and they had lost their interest in playing.

Sister Yu asked Gillian in a low voice: "Cousin Gillian, do you know what is going on with wolf smoke?"

Sister Yue also pricked up her ears to listen.

Gillian didn't want to speak, so she explained a few sentences casually, and then stopped talking. Sister Yu and Sister Yue were silent.

Ah Yi didn't come back, Brother Lang was a little bored alone, and he didn't dislike Ah Chun's youth and ignorance, so he leaned his head over and muttered to Ah Chun without knowing what he was talking about. Occasionally, there are only a few words, and there are also words like wolf smoke.

waited until it was nearly dark before Xiao Xu returned to the Jiaofang Palace.

Along with them, there were also the princes of Wei and Han.

The three of them all looked very solemn, and even Ah Yi, who was following Xiao Xu's side, also tightened his face, as if he had grown up overnight.

Everyone hurriedly stood up to greet them.

Gu Wanning stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "What is the situation now?"

Xiao Xu had a tired face and a somewhat hoarse voice: "I saw wolf smoke, and the battle report will be sent to the capital in a few days." At present, the situation at the border is unknown, so we can only wait for news while urgently discussing the countermeasures in the future. ”

"Today, hundreds of officials have offered advice. The household department immediately raised money and food, and the military department was on full alert from now on, and troops and generals were dispatched at any time. In addition, the large pilgrimage meeting is temporarily canceled, and there are small pilgrimage meetings every day. All officials above the third rank must go to the court to discuss matters. They should also be on duty in the palace in shifts at night to avoid delays in the military situation. I also stayed in the temple of Funing. ”

That's all we can do now.

Gu Guanning nodded. In front of everyone, he didn't say anything, but said softly: "After a busy day, you must be hungry." I have ordered the Imperial Dining Room to prepare dinner, and I will use it first. ”

Xiao Xu snorted.

On the other side, Lin Ruxue also quickly looked at the face of King Han Shizi, and said in a low voice: "Do you want to stay in the palace from today on?"

Han Wang Shizi nodded: "I stayed in the palace with my cousin." Be prepared for the unexpected, ready to be dispatched. ”

Lin Ruxue knew that the matter was urgent, so she didn't say anything more.

The prince of Wei never likes to say much, and he has been even more cold to Fu Yan in the past six months, and the husband and wife have almost nothing to say when they meet.

Fu Yan cheered up and said: "After the concubine returned to the house, she asked people to prepare the clothes and common utensils of the prince and send them to the palace. ”

"No need. The prince of Wei said lightly: "I live with my cousin in Huining Palace. There's everything there. ”

When they were studying in the palace before, they lived in the Huining Hall. Each person has their own dormitory, with all kinds of clothes and utensils.

Fu Yan was accustomed to the indifferent attitude of the prince of Wei, and in front of everyone, she was always a little embarrassed, and soon lowered her head and stopped talking.

……

Everyone had their own supper.

Although the dishes are exquisite, everyone is full of hearts, and no one can eat them. After a few bites, he put his chopsticks aside.

When he retired, Han Wang Shizi suddenly glanced at Sister Yue meaningfully.

Although she didn't say anything, the coldness and unkindness contained in that glance made the sensitive Sister Yue feel terrified and broke out in a cold sweat.

As if something terrible was about to happen, dark clouds hung over her heart, and she was full of trepidation.

King Wei Shizi frowned slightly, and patted Han Wang Shizi on the shoulder: "Let's go!"

In any case, an ignorant child should not be blamed.

King Han pouted, snorted lightly, and turned away with King Wei Shizi.

Gu Wanning took in this scene, his heart sank slightly, and the vague conjecture in his heart gradually surfaced.
