Hecheng is not a strategic place, and rarely undergoes the baptism of war, the people here work at sunrise and rest at sunset, and live a peaceful and waveless life, unlike the people of Beiping, after today's war, they are all frightened like frightened birds, hiding at home and not daring to come out.

Even without curfew, the streets are deserted.

Hearing the gallop of the night, he returned to the Golden Building Villa after a while.

Walking all the way in, the garden was also very quiet, and he walked directly to the outside of the Liuhe Hall.

"Wechen meets the emperor."

Zhu Feng was originally sitting in a chair and reading by the candlelight on the table, although he hadn't even turned a page in the time before Wen Ye came.

"You're here."

He calmly closed the book and put it in his hand: "How is the battle?" ”

"Back to the emperor, the rebels attacked the city unfavorably, and they had temporarily retreated to camp twenty miles outside the city. However, Wechen guessed that they would definitely make a comeback tomorrow. ”

"King Ning's people are not good at attacking the city, but they will definitely find another way."

"Wechen has instructed the people below to get along with various ways to deal with it."

"No matter what, you have to keep it for me for the next few days."

“……”

Wen Ye was slightly stunned and glanced at him.

Of course, it is necessary to hold on.

The emperor is in the city, and if he doesn't keep it, the whole sky will change.

He said in a deep voice: "Weichen understands. ”

The two of them talked a few more words, although Wen Ye was young, after all, he was also a general who had followed Zhu Feng for many years, and he had a lot of experience, and he answered like a stream, and Zhu Feng also understood in his heart that he didn't need to give any more orders about defending the city.

So he said, "All right, go down and rest." ”

"Wechen retired."

Wen Ye bowed his hand, turned around and was about to leave.

But just as he turned around, Zhu Feng suddenly remembered something again and said, "Wait a minute." ”

Wen Ye hurriedly turned around: "What else does the emperor command?" ”

Zhu Feng was silent for a moment, looked at him, and suddenly said, "After Jian Ruocheng was dismissed, did he go to Changqing City?" ”

“……”

For some reason, he would suddenly ask about this person.

Wen Ye couldn't help frowning when he remembered how he felt when he was an envoy in Changqing City and saw that Jian Ruocheng had actually taken refuge in King Ning.

He said, "Yes." ”

Zhu Feng's heart sank.

But his face was the same as always, just because the light was not too bright in the first place, it looked a little gloomy, and he said in a deep voice: "These days, he has also been giving advice to King Ning?" ”

"It's-"

Wen Ye thought about it, and still said very honestly: "He has indeed been working in King Ning's mansion. However, Weichen is not with King Ning, so he rarely goes to King Ning's mansion, so how much of King Ning's affairs is what he advised, Weichen does not know. ”

Zhu Feng took a deep breath.

After a while, he waved his hand: "You go down." ”

"Yes."

Wen Ye retreated from the Liuhe Hall with some uneasiness, the surroundings were already dark, and then looked at the room There was only one candle in the room, which looked particularly gloomy, and the mood couldn't help but feel a little heavy.

It's already this time, why did the emperor suddenly ask about Jian Ruocheng?

He was dismissed, went to King Ning's mansion to do things, and even targeted the emperor with King Ning on the altar, haven't these things happened for a long time? The people around him must have already told him.

He shook his head and turned to leave.

And in the Yishou Hall, which is closest to Liuhe Hall, it is also brightly lit, and the queen Xu Miaoyin, who has been busy all day, did not rest, and also sat in the chair, listening to the news that the little eunuch Xiaomenzi brought back from outside.

"The rebels were repulsed?"

"Yes, Queen Mother, the rebels have retreated."

A smile appeared on Xu Miaoyin's face.

Although she is also a general, she is not as familiar with the affairs of generals as Zhu Feng after all, and Zhu Feng can completely leave it to Wen Ye to do, but as a queen, she can't be so relieved about the war in front of her.

It was only after hearing the news that she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Chun'er and Bihe, who were beside him, immediately laughed and said, "This is great." ”

But Xu Miaoyin thought for a while, and said: "I still can't completely relax, King Ning has been plotting for so long this time, it is impossible to fight a defeat and retreat, besides——"

Today's battle is not a defeat.

It's just not a loss or a win.

"They're definitely going to continue to attack the city. We still have to be cautious. ”

Chun'er and Bihe glanced at each other, a little helpless: "What can we do?" ”

"Yes, the emperor is not in a hurry."

"Queen Mother, you said that the emperor this time, why didn't he go back to Beiping to transfer troops? Not even a single person sent back? ”

Xu Miaoyin was silent for a moment and did not speak.

Everyone has been anxious about this matter for a day, but Zhu Feng insisted, and the only Heyi who could persuade him was in Beiping, and now, everyone was a little powerless.

It would be good if Si Nanyan could persuade him.

Speaking of which, when Si Nanyan came back this time, something seemed to have happened between Zhu Feng and her, which made them feel a little surprised.

Xu Miaoyin thought for a while and said, "How is the concubine doing?" ”

Chun'er hurriedly said: "The slave maid went to see it later, but the concubine was fine, she drank the medicine, and she spoke more flexibly. Her injury was terrifying. ”

"Then, has the emperor ever passed?"

"Nope."

"No?"

This surprised Xu Miaoyin.

They came back from Changqing City, and along the way, Zhu Feng stayed by Si Nanyan's side, giving them a sense of going back to the past time, when the emperor was still favoring the concubine.

I thought that after entering the Golden Mansion and settling everything, the emperor would definitely go to see her.

Why didn't you go?

Xu Miaoyin thought for a while and said, "Didn't you go once?" ”

"I don't think so."

Chun'er and Bihe glanced at each other.

Bihe said softly: "Niangniang is really, whether the concubine is favored or not, you are so anxious about her." ”

Xu Miaoyin sighed: "It's not her who is worried about the palace, but the emperor." ”

“……”

"Ever since the use of Taishang Forgetfulness, the emperor's situation has been unstable, especially his attitude towards the concubine."

“……”

"If he can stabilize, a lot of things will probably go much smoother."

“……”

"Why did he become cold to the concubine all of a sudden?"

Chun'er stood aside, listened to her muttering, blinked her eyes, suddenly remembered something, and said: "By the way, the queen mother, the slave maid saw it today, today Qin Niangzi seems to have gone to the garden to find the emperor, and talked to the emperor for a while." ”

"Oh?"

When Xu Miaoyin heard this, for some reason, her heart moved slightly.

"What did they say?" she asked. ”

"This, the slave and maid stood far away, and did not dare to go over and listen. But it seems that the emperor's face is not very good. ”

Xu Miaoyin's eyebrows frowned.
