Nan Chu's offensive was suspended, and the soldiers hid under the city wall to eat something to replenish their strength, and Mo Ziyu went to check.

"What's the situation now?" Mo Ziyu asked.

"Nan Chu's offensive is too fierce. One of Mulan's generals said, "Whether it's their ladders or weapons, we haven't seen them before." His Majesty also knew that the people who were fighting the enemy in Mulan at the moment were only young people in their twenties, and they had not experienced the baptism of the battlefield, which was also a kind of torture for them. ”

"How long can we hold out?" Mo Ziyu asked.

"The situation is not very rosy right now. The general sighed and said, "If I hadn't anticipated the mistake, I would have been able to hold out for five days without reinforcements." ”

"I see. Mo Ziyu said, "Reinforcements will definitely come, and we will not fall into an isolated situation." ”

"Your Majesty, rest assured, even if your subordinates die, you must guard this husband. The general said.

Mo Ziyu comforted the soldiers, and then went down to the headquarters next to the city, where the matchmaker was sorting out the battle report.

"Is there any news of Qi Qi?" asked Mo Ziyu.

The matchmaker nodded and said, "Qi Qi led the 50,000 army here, but ...... Your Majesty, this is Lingyun Mountain, if you want to get to Mulan, you must pass through Lingyun Mountain, as long as Nanchu sends 20,000 people to guard here, the 50,000 horses of Qi Qi will not be able to come back for a while. When Mi Zi breaks through the Yifu Pass, and then uses the Yifu Pass as a stronghold, it is also difficult for Mi Qi to return to Mulan, if there is no food supply, the 50,000 horses may be dragged alive, all in all, the current situation is very unfavorable to us. ”

After a pause, the matchmaker felt a little resentful in her heart, and continued: "Mulan has fallen into such a dangerous situation, but Beixia actually didn't say anything about it, she really worried about them in vain before, and she was too ungrateful. Your Majesty, don't blame the ministers for talking too much, Beixia's behavior is really too chilling. ”

"What's the battle situation on the other side of Northern Xia?" asked Mo Ziyu.

"Your Majesty look at this. The matchmaker said, "Judging from the current situation, Mi Zi is not here, Qian Lingyan, the prince of the Western Wei Dynasty, is in charge of the war, his character is arrogant and self-serving, he is not Liu Xu's opponent at all, and the gap between Southern Chu and Western Wei is also very deep, if it goes on like this, there is no suspense in the end." The minister really can't figure it out, is Mi Zi really crazy? If that side is defeated, how will Mi Zi go back and explain to his people? At this time, he is so risky, is he going to be desperate to take revenge on you?"

Mo Ziyu sighed: "We can't guess what he thinks, let's just do what we have to do." Maybe he also has his calculations in it, forcing Liu Xu to divide his troops, but this is just my guess, but I really put my hope on others. ”

"I understand. The matchmaker smiled bitterly, "Mulan is really ill-fated." ”

Mo Ziyu thought for a while and said: "There is one thing when I get up, I have always wanted to tell you, but the war happened too quickly, and there is no suitable time." ”

"What's the matter?" asked the matchmaker curiously.

"Maybe there's news of him. ”

"He?" the matchmaker's eyes lit up, "Are you talking about the young master?"

"Yes, the people from Qingguang Pavilion said that when Xie Di rebelled, there was a person who planned behind him, and this person never showed up, but it was rumored that this person was blind. ”

"Blind, then it may be the young master, could it be that everything in Northern Xia was planned by the young master behind his back?" the matchmaker shook her head gently, "But...... The young master still wants to take revenge, his hatred against Beixia has never been put down, Your Majesty, you shouldn't go to Beixia, you shouldn't care about Beixia's affairs, the young master's years of planning have come to naught, and he will be in danger. If Your Majesty doesn't go to Northern Xia, the young master should have to take revenge now, and Mulan will not have today's disaster. ”

"I didn't know he was Beixia, I didn't know that he planned all this. Mo Ziyu said, "If I knew that it was him, I would also go to Beixia, I can't let anyone hurt Changqing, he is like my own son to me, as a mother, I don't allow anyone to hurt him!"

When she was just reborn, she transferred the feelings of the child she lost to Changqing, which kept her from being completely drowned in hatred, and was the only light in her dark time.

"But she is not your son after all, but the young master is your own brother. The matchmaker said angrily, "The young master gave you all his eyes, and your current identity is also the queen of Mulan, have you really thought about standing by the young master's side?"

"Now is not the time to argue about this. Mo Ziyu said, "What's more, this is just my speculation, and it has not been confirmed that that person is Qi Muxuan." ”

The matchmaker was a little annoyed, and looked at Mo Ziyu coldly: "For Your Majesty, maybe Beixia will always be ranked first, and Mulan can only be ranked second." ”

With that, she turned around and left with a blank face.

Mo Ziyu sighed helplessly, there were some things he also wanted to do thoroughly, but some things couldn't be done at all.

When Situ picked up the stars and entered, he saw the matchmaker leaving angrily, and asked, "Is the matchmaker angry? will she still be angry with you?" I thought that no matter what you did to her, she would not be angry!"

"She is a person, everyone has their own emotions, how can she not be angry?" Mo Ziyu sighed and raised her eyebrows, "Maybe she has been angry with me for a long time, but now she is just showing it." In fact, if I think about it from another angle, if I were her, I would be angry. ”

"Everything has happened, what's the use of being angry now?" Situ Jiexing said with his arms crossed.

"People are not wood, and it is good to vent their emotions so as not to suffocate. Mo Ziyu smiled slightly, "Situ, what if...... I mean, if, if Mulan can't keep it, you leave here with Xiaoyi. Xiao Yi don't look at it and don't speak, he will definitely accompany me and don't want to leave, but I don't want the two of you to be affected by me, I hope you can leave with Xiao Yi at that time, even if it is to knock him unconscious?"

"Am I like the person who is greedy for life and afraid of death?" said Situ Jiexing dissatisfiedly.

"Naturally not, you are more mature, Xiaoyi, I will ask you!"

"I was discussing something with Xiao Yi just now, and I was about to tell you!" Situ Jiexing said, "The two of us want to assassinate Qi Zi, with the light skills of the two of us, it shouldn't be a big problem to kill him." ”

"Mi Zi knows me and the two of you, do you think he will be defenseless?" Mo Ziyu said, "In the barracks, there are many dangers, even if you succeed, it will be difficult to escape." The two of you have already helped me a lot, and I owe you a lot, how can I ask you to take your life again? Listen to me, you live well, continue to travel all over the world, see all the beautiful scenery, and take my share with you. One more thing, if I die, you two are not allowed to avenge me. ”

"What can't you die!" Situ Juexing waved his hand, "Don't say those bad words, we have survived so many difficulties before, and we have all lived well in so many dangers, and there will be no problem this time!"

"I hope so. ”

At this time, Nanchu, the imperial palace.

Qian Yan was pruning the potted plants at the moment, when a little palace maid hurriedly came over and shouted, "Niangniang, it's not good!"

"What's wrong?" Qian Yan asked lightly.

"Little Prince...... The little prince is not good!" said the palace maid, "I don't know why I keep crying, no matter how much I coax." ”

"What?" Qian Yan put down the scissors, "Isn't it uncomfortable?"

"I've already gone to Xuan Taiyi. The palace maid said, "Let's go and see it too." ”

Qian Yan then rushed to the little prince's bedroom, only to see the nurse holding the little prince and coaxing, but the little prince was still crying heartbreakingly.

"To Bengong!" Qian Yan took the child over and coaxed it softly in his arms, but it was useless, and the little guy was still crying hysterically.

"What the hell is going on?" Seeing the little prince's face flushed from crying, Qian Yan was also distressed, "Come on, hurry up and call the imperial doctor!"

After a while, he saw the imperial doctor coming in a hurry, and Qian Yan immediately ordered him to heal the child.

The imperial doctor took the pulse of the little prince and kept frowning.

"What the hell is going on, why does this kid keep crying?" Qian Yan urged.

"His Royal Highness's pulse is stable, and there are no symptoms!" said the imperial doctor, "The minister can't see why His Royal Highness keeps crying!"

"Bastard, if you don't feel well, how can you keep crying?" Qian Yan scolded, "Keep watching, if the little prince has a good one, this palace will kill you!"

The imperial doctor really couldn't see an eyebrow, but the child was crying so much that the room was in a hurry, not knowing what to do. Afraid that the child would cry and break his throat, the imperial doctor had to prescribe a calming medicine, and after the child took it, he fell into a deep sleep, but did not continue to cry.

Everyone's hearts were temporarily relaxed, but Qian Yan was furious: "It is impossible for a child to cry for no reason, it must be that you have not served well, and if you have slack, someone will drag these bastards down and punish them for twenty!"

"Yes!"

"Mother's life!"

"The mother and slave don't dare to slack off at all!"

The palace people kept pleading, and Qian Yan's personal palace maid also persuaded: "Niangniang, everyone knows that Niangniang values His Royal Highness, and they don't dare to be lazy and slack, there must be other reasons for this matter." ”

"Other reasons?" Qian Yan frowned, "What other reasons?"

"Niangniang, the little highness suddenly cried and couldn't stop crying, but it reminded the slave maid of when she was a child. When he was a child, the slave's younger brother also cried non-stop, no matter how much he coaxed, it was useless, but then he really couldn't, so he invited the witch doctor in the village. ”

"What happened later?" Qian Yan asked, "Can you find a way?"

"The witch doctor said it was witchcraft, and someone was cursing my brother behind his back. "Later, my father found out that the person who cursed my brother with witchcraft behind his back was our stepmother, and she also had a son, and she was afraid that his brother would divide the property, so she wanted to kill him." Daddy burned the rag doll that his stepmother used to curse and kill people, and it didn't take long for my brother to return to normal. ”

"Witchcraft?" Qian Yan's brows furrowed, and then his eyes were full of coldness, "Could it be that this matter is really related to witchcraft?"

She bit her lip and thought about it, could it be her? Hehe, there are people in this palace who have the courage to do such a thing, but I am afraid that she is the only one, and if she wants to seek the position of the prince for her son, she will harm my son?

"Is it possible that as long as you find the rag doll that cursed the little prince behind it, the little prince will be able to return to normal?" asked Qian Yan.

"It should be. The palace maid lowered her eyes and responded, "But this is just the slave's speculation, there are so many people in this palace, where are they going to find the rag doll?"

"Bengong should know where to look!" Qian Yan said coldly, "Bring someone and come with Bengong!"

"Yes. ”

Then I saw Qian Yan with people, and he came to Sun Pingling.

Sun Pingling came out to greet him, but looking at the queen's menacing posture, he was slightly flustered. Her mind is no longer on the affairs of the harem lately, but on the battlefield ahead.

Now the battle ahead is dangerous, the combined forces of Southern Chu and Western Wei are fighting with Northern Xia, and there are heavy casualties, but according to the current situation, it seems that the defeat has been decided, but at this time, His Majesty is leading 100,000 soldiers to attack Mulan, and no one knows what His Majesty wants to do.

She was paying attention to the battle report in front of her every day, and she also needed to appease the emotions of the ministers of the DPRK and China, she was really very worried every day, and she couldn't sleep all night.

"Empress, what's the matter?" asked Sun Pingling.

"What's wrong? You asked what happened to Bengong?" Qian Yan sneered, "You have a number in your heart!"

With that, she pushed Sun Pingling and walked straight inside.

Sun Pingling chased after him and asked, "I don't know who upset the queen?"

"The little prince has been crying all the time. Qian Yan said, "No matter how much you coax, it's useless." ”

"Oh?" Sun Pingling frowned, "Is there such a thing? What about the little prince now?"

"If it's not good, this palace won't come back to you. ”

"But you're not feeling well, have you called the imperial doctor to see it?" asked Sun Pingling with concern.

"Do you need to teach this kind of thing in this palace?" Qian Yan asked with a sneer.

"What did the Imperial Doctor say?"

"The imperial doctor said that the little prince was in good health. ”

"Is that a bad one of the people around me? I have a few useful nurses here, they know the habits of the children very well, and they can be transferred to serve the little prince. Sun Pingling said, "What does the queen think?"

Qian Yan glanced at Sun Pingling coldly: "Where are you going to reach me?"
