Looking at the prince's reluctant and unwilling appearance, the emperor gritted his teeth angrily, how could he raise such a son? But he still said in a calm tone: "Huaiqing, you don't have to worry, this time you are just as a supervisor, you don't need to command the battle, and there are 100,000 Royal Forest Army to protect you, and your third brother Huaishui is the marshal, and there are brave and warlike generals like Du Du as the vanguard, I can guarantee that you will be able to return triumphantly this time." ”

When Prince Yan Huaiqing heard this, he suddenly came to his senses, supervising the army? This position is good, you don't need to command a war, but the final credit can occupy more than half, why not?

"Thank you for your father's concern, this expedition will definitely break the army of Xiangxiang and return me to the border of peace." The prince said with a smile.

"That's very good." The emperor nodded with satisfaction, and finally coaxed the little rabbit cub to fight.

Subsequently, Emperor Yansheng officially issued a letter to send an expedition and sent 500,000 troops to fight against the invading enemy army, of which 400,000 were conventional troops and 100,000 were imperial forest troops, but this imperial forest army was to protect the safety of the prince, that is, the army that really competed with Xiangxiang on the battlefield was only 400,000 at most.

Although it seems so logical, many ministers don't understand, it is reasonable for the prince to be the supervisor of the army, but it seems that there is something wrong with the three princes as the marshal of the expedition, the third prince Yan Huaishui is just a weak scholar, he can only talk on paper, and it is almost the same as being a strategist, and the best candidate for the marshal is naturally the second prince Yan Huaiyu.

But from beginning to end, the emperor did not mention the name of the second prince, and Yan Huaiyu did not take the initiative to ask Ying to go on the expedition. Since both remained acquiescing, they were courtiers who no longer bothered.

After the early dynasty dispersed. Yan Huaiyu took two male disciples of Ziyang Gate to the palace of the Empress of the East, and these two disciples were sent by the Empress Ziyang Lao Dao into the harem to protect her.

But the two of them were not brought into the palace by Ziyang Lao Dao. It was Yan Huaiyu who was responsible for the introduction, but Yan Huaiyu had another purpose, that is, Lin Tian's words last night, saying that the queen was not a human being, he had to figure out what was going on.

"Sons and daughters, see the queen mother." After entering the palace, Yan Huaiyu respectfully kowtowed, he must be his own mother, and this ceremony must be sufficient.

"Get up." The Empress of the East waved her hand lightly and asked, "Yu'er." Why are you thinking about coming to see the queen mother today? ”

Yan Huaiyu nodded, and said with a smile: "There have been too many trivial matters recently, and I haven't been able to greet the queen mother every day, the child is really unfilial, and I just finished the things assigned by my father today, and after the early dynasty, I came to visit the queen mother......"

"If only you had this heart." The Empress of the East said: "The man is ambitious in all directions, and he should share the worries and solve problems for your father and the imperial court...... By the way, I heard that Qing'er and Shui'er are going to fight at the border in two days? ”

"Yes." Yan Huaiyu nodded.

"Why don't you go?" The Empress of the East asked.

Yan Huaiyu's face was a little unnatural. After thinking for a while, he sighed and said: "My father never trusted his sons, nor did he give his military power to his sons, in the eyes of my father." I'm just an outsider......"

"Presumptuous, how can you say that about your father? You brothers are the hearts and minds of your father, queen and mother, how can we favor anyone. The Empress of the East shouted angrily: "Your father must have his considerations for not letting you lead troops to fight." Don't think about it. ”

"Yes, Erchen understands." Yan Huaiyu responded. Then he said: "Queen Mother, I came this time and was entrusted by the Ziyang Gate. They brought two disciples they had selected to serve as the queen mother's personal bodyguards. ”

"How are they doing?" The Empress of the East asked.

"It's all the early stage of the baby."

"Good." Empress Dongfang nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, this palace is tired and needs to rest, you can step down." ”

"The retainers retired."

After speaking, Yan Huaiyu withdrew out, and as soon as he left the palace, his brows were tightly wrinkled together, although there was no problem with this conversation with the queen mother, but he found that the queen mother's eyes flashed with a hint of enchantment.

This is the most strange and unexpected thing for him, the queen mother is a pure yin body, and her body naturally exudes coldness, which also leads to his unusually cold character, even in front of his father and their children, he has a cold posture.

But today, he saw the enchanting color in the eyes of the queen mother, which was obviously very abnormal, but Yan Huaiyu couldn't think of why it was like this.

It seems that this matter still needs to be discussed with Ziyang Lao Dao, maybe he can know what the reason is.

After Yan Huaiyu left, the Empress of the East immediately asked the other slaves and maids in the palace to leave, leaving only the two Ziyang Sect disciples who had just arrived.

The two disciples looked at each other, not understanding what the queen was going to do, but they didn't dare to step forward to ask, so they had to stand quietly in place, but their eyes kept scanning the queen, after all, the queen was also a generation of stunning beauties.

"Come here." At this time, the queen suddenly spoke.

The two disciples were slightly stunned, they shouldn't have stepped forward presumptuously, but these words flowed into their hearts like a trickle, manipulating their spirits and forcing them to take mechanical steps and walk in front of the Empress of the East.

one-step

Two steps

……

In just a few steps, the two disciples took a long time, and the closer they got to the Empress of the East, the more they felt a piercing cold, and gradually their bodies were paralyzed, and finally the two of them collapsed directly on the ground.

The corners of the Empress of the East's mouth drew a hint of a flattering smile, and she murmured: "There is no man in the world who can escape the charm of this queen." ”

Then, the Empress of the East, no, it should be the demon queen in her body unceremoniously sucked the essence blood of these two early Yuan Infant monks, and in the blink of an eye, two dried corpses appeared on the ground.

After Yan Huaiyu returned to the mansion, he told Ziyang Lao Dao about the small look in the queen's eyes, who knows, after Ziyang Lao Dao heard it, he slapped his thigh in annoyance.

"Old Dao, why are you like this?" Yan Huaiyu asked incomprehensibly.

"Second prince, if Poor Dao didn't guess wrong, your mother should be possessed by the demon queen." Ziyang Lao Dao shouted bitterly: "Pity my two disciples, it is estimated that they have become a delicious meal for the demon queen." ”

"Old Dao, what you said is true?" Yan Huaiyu was taken aback and looked at the Ziyang Daoist in disbelief.

"Absolutely." Ziyang Lao Dao sighed and said: "On the night when the demon queen rushed out of the Linglong Tower, Poor Dao sensed the location of the demon queen and chased after him all the way, but he lost the trace of the demon queen in the palace...... Poor Dao only understands now, it turns out that the demon queen is possessed by the queen's body, because the queen is a pure yin body, and the cold qi on her body can hide the demon queen's demonic energy.
