Chapter 42: The Praying Mantis Catches the Cicada

Helian Yunjue's heart tightened, knowing that Helian Yunhuang's intentions were by no means so simple, but the yin in front of him knew that it was a trap, but he couldn't allow Helian Yunjue to disobey the holy will.

Helian Yunjue's face was silent, and a modest smile kept hanging on the corner of his mouth, leading to thanks.

Helian Yunhuang expected that Helian Yunjue would not dare to disobey the holy will, and had already chosen the date of Helian Yunjue's wedding to Han Liyue, the daughter of Han Taiwei. Three months later, Helian Yunjue will obey the holy will and marry Han Liyue.

The next day, Helian Yunjue returned to his home, and the people in the house were waiting in the courtyard. Helian Yunjue dismissed his subordinates and went back to the room to change his clothes. Yun Hui'er met the mandarin and sent clean clothes to Helian Yunjue. happened to bump into Helian Yunjue changing clothes, Yun Yu'er turned her head shyly, but caught a glimpse of Helian Yunjue's back and arms with scabbed wounds.

"Lord Wang, your back ......" Yun Wei'er couldn't help but blurt out.

Seeing her behind her, Helian Yunjue hurriedly changed his clothes and replied, "What is left on the battlefield is okay!" ”

Helian Yunjue walked up to Yun Wei'er and looked at her, in the most half a year since he left the house, Yun Wei'er has become more and more marked, and she has become a slim and beautiful girl.

The clear eyes were somewhat similar to his first love, Du Miaoer.

"The wound on my back didn't scare you, did it?" Helian Yunjue asked gently.

"The prince protects his family and defends the country, and fights on the battlefield, and there is only endless admiration in his heart." Yun Wei'er replied sincerely.

Helian Yunjue lowered his warm eyes and smiled bitterly: "Do you really think so?" ”

"Hmm." Yun Wei'er nodded, "You just hope that the prince can take care of his noble body, and the palace can't do without the prince." ”

Helian Yunjue smiled and nodded: "Okay, this king promises you that he will take care of himself." ”

Helian Yunjue went out in full gear, and as soon as he stepped out of the door, he turned back again.

"On the Shangyuan Festival next month, can this king take you out of the house to play?"

Yun Wei'er was overjoyed, and nodded again and again: "Okay." ”

Helian Yunjue smiled, turned around and walked out the door.

In the study, Helian Yunjue and Rong Ying were talking secretly in the secret pavilion.

"What does the prince mean is that this battlefield siege and the prince was injured, it was all set up by the emperor? The purpose is to kill people with a knife and take the opportunity to get rid of the prince? Rong Ying asked in surprise.

Helian Yunjue nodded lightly and responded: "Exactly." ”

"At the moment when the enemy is present, if the emperor wants to assassinate the prince for his own personal interests, he will only end up with no commander in the camp and the army is unstable, so what good does the emperor have?"

"The emperor is suspicious by nature, and he has a grudge because of the incident between me and Du Miaoer. In this border barbarian battle, I ordered my commander-in-chief, on the one hand, to show the ministers of the court and the central government the holy yin of the emperor's meritocracy, and on the other hand, to take the opportunity to take away the military power of our Annan Army, and assign it to the military department, and he will order it. By controlling my right-hand man, it will be easier for him to sneak in. If I am defeated this time, the emperor will have a reason to charge me with leading my troops, and at the same time weaken my influence in the government and the opposition. If I win this time, he will have no reason to restrict and suppress my position in the government and the opposition. Therefore, he can only arrange for the army to work carefully, secretly design to take my life, and then posthumously seal me a name, killing two birds with one stone. As for the position of the future commander, Rong Ying, have you ever thought about why the great general Pingxi Hou Gongliangao, who has been on the battlefield for more than 20 years and has outstanding military achievements, is not on the list of expeditions? Helian Yunjue nodded carefully.

"The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind!" Rong Ying suddenly realized.
