Chapter 496: The Great Army Pressed the Realm
In the palace, when it was already dark outside, and the candlelight illuminated the huge study, a woman in a white wide-sleeved dress was sitting at a desk full of folds, her brows furrowed.
A few days of review and review have made Mu Xiwan more flexible, she took the ginseng tea handed over by her father-in-law on the side, took a sip elegantly, and said lightly.
"Is there any news from the prince?"
Mu Xiwan put down the brush in her hand and slowly looked up at the person next to her, her eyes were full of expectation.
"Back to the crown princess, yet, not yet."
The crown princess would ask this question twice a day, and when she saw her inky eyes dim, the father-in-law couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
During this time, he saw what this woman had endured in his eyes and felt very admired.
Mu Xiwan continued to look at the twists and turns, and now those ministers have not played the prince's twists and turns, and Murong Ye has led the army to press the news of the Darong border.
……
In a tent on the border of Daei, a man in white who was as warm as jade was elegantly pouring tea, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, inexplicably adding a bit of bewitchment.
"How? Is there any news from Daiei? ”
Murong Ye picked up the teacup lightly, his eyes looked at the tea leaves in the teacup that had become green, and his voice was full of carelessness.
"Back to my lord, there is no movement on Da Rong's side, and the city gate is also closed, according to our people, the people in the palace are panicked, and only the crown princess of Da Rong is in charge of the overall situation."
The man knelt on one knee, folded his hands, his head hung low, his voice did not fluctuate, like a wooden man, and he disappeared into the night after saying that.
"Daiei, Crown Princess...... Sorry for the night, heh, interesting. ”
Murong Ye thought about that bright woman, stoic, and there was a tenacity in her weakness, even if she was imprisoned by herself, her face still did not change, and he licked the corners of his mouth evilly.
The woman, he couldn't wait to see her panicked and desperate look.
That night, everything was so normal, the people were still living and working in peace and contentment, and the oppression of the army seemed to exist only in the study.
"Feng Chengyi!"
Mu Xiwan sat up from the bed abruptly, her white forehead was covered with dense beads of sweat, and she kept panting, she dreamed that Feng Chengyi jumped off the cliff in front of her.
Looking at the sky, the sunlight had jumped in through the sandalwood window lattice, she freshened up, and went straight to the emperor's palace.
"It's too late, you're here."
The emperor's voice was weak, and he stretched out one hand to Mu Xiwan, and his gray beard turned even paler against his already pale cheeks.
Mu Xiwan quickened her pace, grabbed the wrinkled hand, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly.
"Father, it's a pity to be late."
Mu Xiwan's crisp sound like the gurgling water in the mountains came to the emperor's ears, and his originally hanging heart was also full of letting go.
"This, this is a token that can control the dark guard, see, see this token as if you see me."
The emperor trembled slightly and pointed to the father-in-law next to him, who hurriedly presented a golden token carved with a lifelike dragon to Mu Xiwan.
The emperor himself knows what his body is like, he is almost asleep every day, and when he wakes up, it seems that he is getting less and less, and he has no energy and time to manage the forces under his command.
And during this time, he also heard the comments of many ministers on Mu Xiwan, and he was very pleased.
"Father, cherish the late, I will live up to my father's trust."
Mu Xiwan did not push back, picked up the token and bowed deeply to the emperor, before Feng Chengyi came back, she would definitely keep Darong.
"Also, it's too late, it's necessary, it's important to find it, find the prince."
The emperor coughed heavily, and his speech became laborious, and a little bead of sweat was already visible on his forehead.
"Definitely, father, Chengyi, he will definitely return safely."
Mu Xiwan has never given up looking for Feng Chengyi, she believes that as the prince of a country and the father of her children, Feng Chengyi will definitely come back.
Mu Xi returned to the study late and summoned the commander of the secret guard.
The secret guard is the patron saint of every emperor, they come without a trace, go without a trace, have strong martial arts, first-class exploration, assassination, and inquire about news.
The number is very small, and the current secret guards, there are a total of thirty people, but they can defeat one by one, which is no exaggeration.
Mu Xiwan listened to the introduction of the comfort leader one by one, and understood the strength of each comfort, and the corners of his mouth rarely showed a smile.
In this way, it will be better to do things on your own.
"Crown Princess Qiyu, Luo 15 and Luo 16 have been hidden in Beiyan for a year."
Mu Xiwan's eyes lit up when she heard this, and her fingers slammed on the desk one by one, making a crisp tapping sound, and her face was full of contemplation.
"I want to know Beiyan, no, how many people Murong Ye brought this time, it would be best if there was more news, but my own safety is the most important, don't show your feet."
As the so-called knowing oneself and knowing that the other is invincible, the corners of Mu Xiwan's mouth rose slightly, he has been in the palace, although he has Feng Chengyi's original power, but the ministers of the court and the central government always interfere, and now ......
"Yes, Crown Princess."
After the Commander-in-Chief finished speaking, he disappeared in the blink of an eye, as if he had never appeared.
The next morning, there was obviously no "liveliness" of the previous days, the atmosphere in the hall was very depressing, and the ministers were silent.
"Minister, there is something to play!"
A rough voice was like a pebble thrown into the water in a depression, and the ministers all looked at the man in the brown-red official uniform.
"Play."
Mu Xiwan knew this person, a famous general under Feng Chengyi, born as a civilian, climbed up step by step on the battlefield by relying on military exploits, and the hideous scar on his face made that person even more powerful.
"Beiyan presses the realm, minister, please lead an army of 10,000 to go!"
The man's strong voice came out, and the court was in an uproar.
"Oh? What about the prime minister's intentions? ”
Mu Xiwan looked at the prime minister of the lower head lightly, and the one who made the prince the happiest some time ago was not the prime minister who is silent now.
"Weichen thinks that what the general said is very true, and the minister thinks it's okay."
The prime minister's head couldn't help but beads of sweat, and his speech was not as proud as before.
"The general thinks about the country, and the palace deeply admires it, but this matter allows the palace to think about it again."
The majesty of Mu Xiwan's body was vividly exuded at this time, and the courtiers only felt trembling.
After taking charge of the secret guard, Mu Xiwan knew the situation in Beijing well, and the small actions of the ministers behind the scenes were also clear.
Prime Minister, he bore the brunt of the incident, and remembered that Murong Ye's people had gone to the Prime Minister's Mansion at night and stayed for a long time.
There were also some other ministers' small actions such as retreating and being silent, but Mu Xiwan did not pay much attention to it.
"Dark Er, what do you think of Da Rong sending troops by surprise?"
Mu Xiwan looked at Dark Er, who was kneeling on one knee, proficient in the art of war, and during this time, Mu Xiwan also learned a lot.
"Back to the crown princess, when I don't know how many troops the other party has, I still need to investigate more."
Over there, there is no news yet.
And Murong Ye's army has been pressed to the border.
Many ministers were already panicked, and they didn't have the heart to engage in those who didn't, and they were even thinking that the early dynasty was a general's request to fight.
