Yu Ning knelt down and said, "Father, don't worry, the Marquis of Qingyang and I will definitely return triumphantly, you just wait for our good news." ”

Since he knew that Qi Yanzhi would go to the north with him, Yu Ning's heart has not been calm, he never thought that one day he would fight side by side with Qingyang Hou, he was his rival in love, he snatched his favorite girl, it should have been incompatible, but he had a feeling of sympathy for Qi Yanzhi.

Especially seeing that the emperor is so contradictory, it can be seen that Qi Yanzhi took the initiative to ask for help to help him, why, he couldn't think of it, but he didn't doubt whether Qi Yanzhi had the ability to be a military advisor.

Of course, it's one thing to doubt or not, it's another thing to be convinced or not, he is young and competitive, and he always wants to compete with others in front of his rivals, he is full of desire to win this expedition, and he can't wait to fight with the Fanbang barbarians immediately.

After settling the matter of the expedition, the fourth princess finally had news from them.

"Your Majesty, this is a letter received at the gate of the Fangcai Palace, you can see it." Gonggong Li held a letter and presented it to the emperor.

The emperor immediately took the letter and opened it, and almost fainted at first sight.

What worries him the most has happened.

The fourth princess was taken away by the people of Fanbang.

But this takeaway is not taken away, but the four princesses voluntarily followed, and what is even more strange is that the people of Fanbang show off that they have just entered the palace as if no one is in the realm, and the letter is attached with a tile of the palace hall, which means that they can enter and leave the palace at will.

What does this mean, it shows that there is their inner response in the palace.

Who is Neiying, who is in collusion with Fanbang, why did the four princesses voluntarily follow, is it a lie or is it that the four princesses left the palace this time to find the people of Fanbang.

The matter of the fourth princess leaving the palace is very strange, first of all, why did she suddenly fall out with Yao Guifei, did she really fall out or pretend to show others, after all, Yao Guifei was very conniving with the fourth princess before, how could she suddenly become stern, this matter is very suspicious.

At this time, the war is urgent, it is a sensitive period, and the emperor has to think about it one more layer, is there someone in the palace who is colluding with Fanbang, who is it, will it be Yao Guifei?

Did Yao Guifei make a deal with Fanbang in private, and then take the fourth princess as the trading object, or maybe Yao Guifei sent the fourth princess to Fanbang, after all, the fourth princess lost the title of princess, she was worthless in the palace, and she could no longer fight for any benefits for Yao Guifei, so she looked for another way?

But no matter what, the suspicion of colluding with Fanbang is pointing at Yao Guifei.

It's just that the emperor never looks at the surface, and the more all the suspicions point to Yao Guifei, the more he can't think deeply about this meaning, otherwise it is easy to fall into the trap.

Yao Guifei's heart was cold when she heard the news that the fourth princess was taken away by Fanbang, "Is the news true?" ”

"It's true, the emperor has received a threatening letter from Fanbang, but no one knows the content of the letter, and he doesn't see any action from the emperor."

Yao Guifei frowned, no matter how disobedient the fourth princess is, it is a child raised by her, she doesn't want anything to happen to her, being taken away by Fanbang means that the child is finished. If they threaten the emperor with her life to withdraw his troops, then don't think about it, the emperor will definitely sacrifice her for the overall situation.

Once she loses her usefulness, you can imagine what kind of abuse she will suffer.

There is another possibility, that is, the emperor will negotiate reconciliation with Fanbang on the condition of the four princesses, and send a princess to Fanbang to make peace, which can temporarily alleviate the current war situation.

Yao Guifei didn't know that she had become the object of the emperor's suspicion at this time, and she was only worried about how the fourth princess was, so she took the initiative to go to the emperor to ask for her life.

"Your Majesty, you can't watch the fourth princess die." Yao Guifei knelt in front of the emperor and begged.

"Who told you she was going to die?" The emperor frowned, "Will you know this news too quickly?" ”

Yao Guifei was stunned for a moment, and argued, "The emperor forgives the sin, the concubine is worried about Qiyu's safety, and has been ordering people to wait for news. ”

This is not like a lie, if it weren't for Yao Guifei being too good at acting, it would prove that she didn't collude with Fanbang.

"How are you going to ask me to protect it?" The emperor asked her rhetorically.

"This ......," Yao Guifei gritted her teeth and said, "The concubine thinks she can make peace with Fanbang." ”

"Peace?" The emperor smiled, "The concubine thinks that our court can't count on anything, do you know the price of peace, do you think that if you send a fourth princess to Fanbang, they will withdraw from the northern frontier and return the northern frontier to us?" ”

Yao Guifei broke out in a cold sweat, she knew that her move had angered the emperor, but she bet that the emperor did not completely give up on the fourth princess, and the more she asked for her life, the more she could get the emperor's understanding.

Discussing peace is a last resort, which is tantamount to discrediting the court, and the emperor still has a face, how can he easily agree.

"You have to be mentally prepared." He said slowly to Concubine Yao, "Qiyu will probably not be able to come back." ”

Yao Guifei fainted directly to the ground.

The fourth princess ate and drank well at this time, and followed the people in Fanbang to run out of the city.

Not long after she came out of the palace yesterday, she met a tall and mighty man, and then without saying a word, she said that she wanted to marry someone. The fourth princess was indeed stimulated, the emperor abolished her princess title, Yao Guifei wanted to tell her a civilian man, these are all things she can't stand, she would rather marry a nun than marry a commoner, her most disgusting thing is those poor ghosts.

It's also a pity for her, as soon as she left the palace, she met a man who was very rich at first sight, this man had a beard, but he was very good-looking, it was the kind of strong and powerful good-looking, she was very satisfied, took the initiative to invite people to drink tea and dinner, and then said that she wanted to marry him.

The other party said that she was from Fanbang, and the fourth princess said that she didn't mind, Fanbang was better, far away from the capital, no one knew her, and she could be free.

The people in the state probably didn't expect to accept a princess so easily, and they were a little surprised and a little happy, after all, a delicate princess, which man doesn't want it.

It was the same night.

The fourth princess didn't expect that she was entrusting no one at all, and the husband she chose by herself was Yalutu, the prince of Fanbang, and this prince took the Central Plains as his great cause, and it was her relatives who wanted to kill and slaughter.

However, the fourth princess has a lot of resentment in the palace at this time, even if she knows, it doesn't matter, Yarutu asked her about the layout of the guards in the palace, and the princess told him everything, asking her how to escape from the capital, and the fourth princess also told him what she knew, and even used the princess's privilege to help him go through the back door.

At that time, the emperor's edict had not yet come down, and everyone didn't know that it was the princess who was lost, and when the emperor ordered the whole city to hunt down the people of Fanbang who captured the princess, everyone knew that the princess had escaped, and the city gate officials who let the princess go were so frightened that they were about to pee, and they wanted to die and apologize.

"Bastard thing!" The emperor was so angry that he couldn't breathe, he pointed to the city gate official and scolded, "Don't chase it yet!" What kind of carriage they ride, what kind of costumes, you give me a detailed description! ”

It's the other way around, and it's really the fourth princess who rebelled! The emperor couldn't tell what mood it was, the fourth princess actually took the initiative to help Prince Fanbang escape, if he was one step earlier, one step earlier, he would be able to capture Prince Fanbang and get back a game!

The atmosphere in the Qiyang Palace's mansion was a little heavy, and the whole family could know the news that Qi Yanzhi was going to go on an expedition tomorrow.

The prince was shocked, pointed at Qi Yanzhi and asked, "Are you crazy?" ”
