"I didn't expect Xiao Qianye to invite Princess Lingyi to be a lobbyist." Nangong Mo looked back at Wei Jun Mo and said.

Wei Junmo said indifferently: "It's just a matter of rushing to the doctor." I'm afraid that even Princess Lingyi herself doesn't have much hope. "If Xiao Qianye wasn't really anxious, how could he think that a Lingyi princess would have any impact on the current situation. Now that the Youzhou army has already reached here, I'm afraid that even if the first emperor is reborn, it won't be able to change anything.

Nangong Mo nodded, "That's right." ”

Wei Junmo took her hand and said softly: "Let's go back, it should be these two days, and we will prepare to send troops to Jinling." "The small city in front of you is not difficult for the Youzhou army. The reason why the Youzhou army is resting here is just to take a temporary rest and prepare for the attack on Jinling.

Nangong Mo smiled lightly: "It seems that your idea of surrendering without a fight has not been realized. ”

Wei Junmo didn't care, "Who knows." ”

Princess Lingyi returned to Jinling, and was summoned into the palace by Xiao Qianye before she could return home. In the imperial study, not only Xiao Qianye, but also Zhou Xiang and Han Min and several other important ministers were waiting. The expressions on everyone's faces were solemn, and the news that Princess Lingyi brought back was very important to them. Although in fact, most people have already counted it in their hearts, but they still can't help but want to look forward to that little possibility.

Xiao Qianye's face was even more ugly, he didn't want to admit defeat to King Yan. But the form is stronger than the person, he has to admit it. Once the Youzhou army really breaks through Jinling, what awaits him, the emperor, will be a more tragic end than all the others.

"Your Majesty, the eldest princess of Lingyi asks to see you." Outside the door, the guards bowed respectfully.

"Xuan!" Xiao Qianye said in a deep voice.

After a while, Princess Lingyi, who was in the dust, walked in from outside, "I've seen Your Majesty." ”

"Auntie, get up quickly." Xiao Qianye hurriedly said. Princess Lingyi thanked her and got up, and Xiao Qianye said, "Aunt Hardship has gone this way, I don't know what King Yan said?" Xiao Qianye tightened the armrest of the dragon chair with one hand and asked calmly on his face. Princess Lingyi lowered her eyes, "The incompetence of this palace has disappointed Your Majesty." "Princess Lingyi glanced around, and stopped talking.

Xiao Qianye's heart sank, and he said in a deep voice: "Auntie, just say it." ”

Princess Lingyi sighed and said, "King Yan said that he sent troops to the position of King Qin Kuangfu of the royal family. As long as His Majesty clears the traitors around him, he will naturally retreat. ”

"Ridiculous!" Hearing this, Xiao Qianye was really furious. Did King Yan think he was a three-year-old child? Yasukuni is difficult, Qing Jun's side? Who does he want to clear? Isn't it just these old ministers and loyal ministers around him, if he really listened to King Yan's words and killed these people, he Xiao Qianye was afraid that he could only be a puppet, and he was a short-lived puppet.

Han Min and the others below were also shocked and angry, who was the traitor that King Yan was talking about? Aren't they the courtiers who support His Majesty's cutting of the domain? What a shame!

Xiao Qianye glanced at the ministers and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, I will never give in to Yan Yi!" ”

"Your Majesty is wise!" Everyone hurriedly said in unison.

Princess Lingyi stood aside, watching this scene, only to sigh secretly in her heart. When the soldiers saw this point, there was only life and death, and there was no possibility of retreat. It's just that the current situation is obviously even more unfavorable to the emperor's nephew.

Princess Lingyi didn't want to help Xiao Qianye condemn King Yan, not to mention her own dissatisfaction with this nephew and her friendship with Princess Changping, that is, the abilities of King Yan and Xiao Qianye were not equal. Whether it was King Yan or Xiao Qianye who sat on the throne in the end, they were all members of the Xiao family. Whether she is the eldest princess or the eldest princess doesn't make much difference to her. At least she didn't intend to risk her life for the difference.

"If His Majesty is fine, the palace will retire first." Princess Lingyi said in a deep voice. Xiao Qianye didn't leave him behind, nodded and said, "Auntie, go slowly." ”

Princess Lingyi walked out of the imperial study and stood at the door for a moment before she raised her steps and continued to walk out. After all, he did not tell Xiao Qianye the news that King Yan was seriously injured.

When Princess Lingyi left, Xiao Qianye seemed to have exhausted all her strength, and leaned into the dragon chair behind her a little tiredly. Rubbing his heartlessness, he asked, "Mr. Zhou, Mr. Han, what should we do now?" Zhou Xiang and Han Min glanced at each other, and Zhou Xiang said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Jinling City is as solid as gold, as long as we wait for the monarchs and ministers to work together, Yan Wei may not be able to break through Jinling." ”

"Sir, you mean to be stubborn?" Xiao Qianye said. Impregnable? Jinling is indeed impregnable, but isn't the city of Pengcheng stable enough? It's been a long time, and it's not the same attack. Han Min had a different opinion, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the old minister built yì moved the capital. ”

The smile on Xiao Qianye's face was a little reluctant, "Where to move the capital?" ”

Jinling and several nearby big cities are the most prosperous places in Great Xia. However, these cities are not far from Jinling, and it is impossible to use them as new capitals. Further south, except for some small cities and the backs of several vassal kings, it is the land of barbarians. Although the vassal kings have been removed, the power they have been operating for more than ten years is still there. Where did you really go, don't say it's a comeback, and whether you can stand firm is a question.

Han Min was silent. Even the Li Jiang Heavenly Danger Youzhou Army has already crossed, where can they retreat?

The atmosphere in the imperial study was solemn. Xiao Qianye leaned on the back of the chair and closed his eyes, "That's it, let's step down." ”

"The ministers are leaving." The ministers hesitated, but had to get up and leave.

After a long time, Xiao Qianye opened his eyes and looked at the empty imperial study, only to feel that his whole body was cold and biting, "What should the emperor's grandfather and grandson do?" ”

"Your Majesty, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites asks to see you!" Outside the door, the guards reported.

"Get out!" Xiao Qianye grabbed the ruler on the table and smashed it to the door, and said sharply. What big deal can the management of the Ministry of Rites have, and where is he in the mood to care about these trivial things at this time? There was silence outside the study for a moment, and then I heard the voice of the guard sound again, "Your Majesty, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites said that there are 100,000 urgent things to see!" ”

Xiao Qianye was silent for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "Let him get in!"

A man dressed in the official mansion of the Ministry of Rites walked in from outside, Xiao Qianye raised his head with a calm face and was about to speak, but when he saw the visitor, he couldn't help but pause, and said sharply: "Who are you!" "The right attendant of the Ministry of Rites is a middle-aged man of thirty-seven or eighteen years old, and the man in front of him is handsome, and he looks no more than twenty years old. It was a little familiar, but Xiao Qianye couldn't remember where he had seen him.

"Gong Yuchen, goodbye, Your Majesty." Gong Yuchen said with a smile.

"Palace, Yu, Chen!" Xiao Qianye's eyes were cold, and he gritted his teeth and said, "You still dare to appear in front of me!" Come! ”

The secret guards hidden in the shadows quietly fell around the main hall, waiting for the emperor's order to annihilate the enemy at any time.

"Who let you in?! I want to destroy his nine clans! Xiao Qianye was furious.

Gong Yuchen was not worried about the threat of entering the palace alone, and said lightly: "Why is Your Majesty so angry? You and I are in the same boat, aren't we? ”

Xiao Qianye trembled angrily, "If you hadn't taken Nangong Huai"

Gong Yuchen didn't feel guilty at all, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Nangong Huai?" Even if Nangong is pregnant, the cloud capital should still be broken, but it will only be delayed for a few more days. So, I really can't be blamed for this situation now. What's more, although I took Nangong Huai, the result was indeed very satisfying. ”

Xiao Qianye sneered, obviously not believing his words at all. Gong Yuchen didn't care either, and said with a smile: "If I say that I arrested Wei Junmo and Nangong Mo's daughter, will Your Majesty still refuse to believe my sincerity?" ”

"What does that mean?" Xiao Qianye said coldly: "Do you want to sue me and rely on a little girl to make King Yan withdraw his troops?" ”

Gong Yuchen shrugged his shoulders regretfully, "I'm afraid I can't do it." "It's come to this point, even King Yan himself has no room to retreat. Xiao Qianye looked at him coldly, but Gong Yuchen smiled happily, "Although this little girl can't let King Yan retreat." But it can contain Nangong Mo and Wei Junmo, right? ”

"So what?"

Gong Yuchen said: "Your Majesty has been forced to such a point, don't you want to take revenge on King Yan?" I can help you. ”

"You think I'll still believe you." Xiao Qianye is not stupid to the end, Nangong Huai is not the first time he has been pitted by Gong Yuchen this time. Believe Gong Yuchen again, he doesn't even know why he died. Gong Yuchen sighed, "Your Majesty's suspicion is too serious. Now that King Yan's morale is strong, do you and I have any other way than to join forces? Princess Lingyi came back from the Youzhou army, but I'm afraid that there is one more thing that I haven't told sùmajesty, right? ”

"What's the matter?" Xiao Qianye asked sensitively, in today's situation, what Xiao Qianye hates most is being deceived.

Gong Yuchen said: "King Yan was seriously injured and sick in bed. Does Majesty know? ”

"You did it?" Xiao Qianye asked.

Gong Yuchen nodded and said, "Yes, for this, I did not hesitate to sacrifice a sister and expose one of the most powerful subordinates." Your Majesty still has time to consider, whether to cooperate with the next or wait for King Yan to break through Jinling, and then kneel at the feet of King Yan and beg him to give you a way to live. ”

Gong Yuchen's voice seemed to have a charming flavor, "By the way, there is also Wei Junmo." His majesty wanted to trample Wei Junmo under his feet, but unfortunately, he wanted to live a good life in the future, but I was afraid that it would depend on whether Wei Gongzi's mood was good. You said, so many things happened before, how will Wei Gongzi repay His Majesty?

There was a long silence in the study room once again. I don't know how long it took before I heard Xiao Qianye's dry voice ringing in the imperial study, "What do you want to do?" ”

In a very comfortable and spacious room, he sat alone in the corner of a soft couch, facing the wall with his back to the outside. Not far away, the woman in black looked at her helplessly with her meal and sighed. Taking care of a child is always hard work, especially when the child is not very friendly to you. If you are facing ordinary people, you can be reasonable, you can threaten, you can intimidate, but in the face of a three-year-old child, it is very likely that you will not understand what you say. Nor could she beat her and scold her, for if she wept, the little girl would cry, and the woman in black who had to be in the same room with her every day for more than an hour felt that she might be driven mad by the cry.

Gong Yuchen pushed the door in and saw this scene, raised his eyebrows and said, "What's the matter?" ”

"Pavilion Master." The woman in black turned around and saluted, and glanced at the back of the young man helplessly, "The little lady refuses to eat." ”

Gong Yuchen took the food in her hand, waved his hand and said, "You go down first, I'll come." ”

The woman in black glanced at Gong Yuchen with some suspicion, it was not that she wanted to question the omnipotent pavilion master, but the warm and affectionate thing of feeding the child, was it really suitable for the pavilion master?

Although she complained in her heart, the woman in black had no choice but to retreat respectfully.

Gong Yuchen walked to the soft couch and sat down, casually put the food in his hand on the table next to him, and said with a smile: "Little girl, what's wrong?" Why not eat? ”

He turned his back to him and ignored him.

Gong Yuchen raised her eyebrows, stretched out her hand and carried the little girl face to face with her. I saw the little girl glaring at him angrily with a pair of big red eyes, "Tsk, what's the matter?" Could it be that Gong Jiu bullied you? It's not good to cry like a rabbit with such beautiful eyes. ”

"Big bad! I want a mother! He burst into tears.

Gong Yuchen frowned, a little embarrassed, "Little girl, your mother is not as easy to grasp as you." It's a bit tricky. ”

"Wow! Big Bad! I want a mother! Mother! "I haven't seen my mother for a long time, and even Brother Qiao, the only one who is by my side, is gone. After so many days, the child finally broke out. Gong Yuchen couldn't help but raise his hand and rub his temples that didn't hurt faintly, "Shhhhh Beware of crying into a little mute. ”

Where was he willing to pay attention to him, and directly threw himself into Gong Yuchen's arms and punched and kicked. Gong Yuchen was helpless, so she had to reach out and hold her two little hands. Although it is said that a child can't hurt much, if he lets these two little hands scratch his face twice, he will have to wear a mask and go out again.

Seeing that he couldn't beat the bad guys, he became even more anxious and cried even more sadly.

Gong Yuchen hugged the little doll in his arms and sighed again and again, "I knew that your little girl was so troublesome, I should have arrested your brother." ”

Hearing this, the cry suffocated, and he stared at him with a pair of watery eyes. Gong Yuchen smiled and said, "Okay, if you don't catch your brother, it's cuter to die young." How about I take you to see your father in a few days? "Big badass, liar!" ”

Gong Yuchen raised his eyebrows, "If you make trouble again, I'll lock you up here alone, so that you will never see your mother." And your brother Ah Qiao, he hasn't eaten yet. ”

Xiao Xiao blinked, "Brother Ah Qiao doesn't eat?" ”

Gong Yuchen snorted lightly and said, "Every day, I will let people bring him food when you go out first." If you eat less, he will accompany you to hunger. It's a pity that he's still wounded, I don't know if I'll starve to death."

Xiao Xiao's bright big eyes wandered a little, and after a long while, he pouted and said aggrievedly, "Eat." ”

Gong Yuchen raised her eyebrows and looked at her with a smile, "Oh? Will you eat obediently in the future? ”

"Eat."

"Do you want to eat well every day in the future?"

"Eat!" Screaming angrily.

Gong Yuchen nodded, touched her little bun and said, "This is a good child." Come, let's eat. ”

As he spoke, he took the young man into his arms, turned around and picked up the dishes and chopsticks next to him to feed.

The scene that the woman in black was worried about did not happen, although Gong Yuchen's posture of feeding the child was not very clever, but it was still standard and skilled. He was fed the food by him one bite at a time, and he was full after a while.

"Brother Qiao, Fanfan!" As soon as he finished eating, he couldn't wait to urge.

Gong Yuchen was helpless, "What a conscienceless little girl, I haven't eaten yet." Even so, someone else came in and ordered Shang Qiao to bring food. The woman in black who came in looked at the food next to her, and looked at the little girl who was sitting in Gong Yuchen's arms with angry eyes, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she complied.

I just finished being fed, and I'm embarrassed to make trouble. Or maybe I'm tired. Looking sideways at Gong Yuchen, who was sitting on the side and didn't speak and didn't know what he was thinking, he poked him a little boredly. Gong Yuchen looked at her sideways and raised a sword eyebrow.

Xiao Xiao raised his little face and looked at him, "Big villain, don't be a big villain, okay?" ”

Hearing this, Gong Yuchen lowered her head with interest and pinched her little face and said, "Oh? How can I not be a big badass? ”

Xiao Xiao said: "Let's go to my mother and tell my mother that you won't be a big villain." Mom and dad won't beat you up. ”

Gong Yuchen sneered, pinched her pink cheeks and pulled them, and said, "You are still in my hands now, I can beat you before your father beats me." ”

Xiao Xiao was pinched in the face and couldn't even say the truth, Gong Yuchen had no choice but to let go, and Xiao Xiao said loudly: "My father is the best!" ”

Gong Yuchen smiled: "It's better like this, don't go back." Is it okay to follow this seat to be a little villain? ”

Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at him, "Xiaoxiao is a good child, Xiaoxiao is not a little villain!" ”

Gong Yuchen said: "It's okay, I don't dislike you." After you follow me for a long time, we can be the big villain together, and you can be the little villain. ”

"It's a good boy to die young!" Die firmly and authentically.

Gong Yuchen stroked her hair, and a meaningful smile appeared on her lips, "What a stupid child, where in this world is there someone who is a big villain from the beginning." Xiao Xiao blinked, some of them didn't understand, "Have you been a good boy too?" ”

Gong Yuchen smiled: "Of course I have been a good boy. ”

"When the gods and horses?" The big bad guy looks like a bad guy.

Gong Yuchen stretched out her hand to close her height, and said with a smile: "It's probably when you're so old." ”

Xiao Xiao thought about it, reached out and touched him and said, "It's so pitiful, why did you grow bad." I won't grow bad. ”

Gong Yuchen sneered, "Oh? You won't grow bad? Let's give it a try. From today onwards, you will learn to be a little villain with this seat. ”

"Don't."

"If you don't want me, I'll pinch your brother Ah Qiao to death."

"Badass!" Furious, he pounced on Gong Yuchen and bit the back of his hand fiercely. Worried that she would fall off the low couch, Gong Yuchen had to reach out and catch her little body, and a small tooth hit Gong Yuchen's arm, the person didn't bite, the tooth hurt, and he covered his small mouth and whined.

Crooked in Gong Yuchen's arms, a small jade pendant slipped out of Xiao Xiao's neck. Gong Yuchen's eyes flashed slightly, and he raised his hand to take it in his hand.
