Chapter 360 Serving the Country

The Queen Mother learned about it hastily, and then scolded Concubine De mercilessly, not only that, but also punished her grounding in front of so many minions.

The harshness of the Queen Mother was unprecedented, and the servants of the entire Xianfu Palace were shocked, and even the virtuous concubine, who had been secretly wiping her tears, was stunned in place, and she didn't dare to say anything for a long time.

"The emperor is unfair, the concubine is carefully pregnant for ten months, how can she be handed over to Concubine Xian to raise, Concubine Xian is the same concubine as the concubine, how can she raise the fourth princess? The queen mother wants to make decisions for her concubines. ”

Listening to the Queen Mother's reprimand, Concubine De's face looked even more displeased, and she retorted in a heavy tone, her eyes full of dissatisfaction.

"Enough! The emperor made it clear that the fourth princess is the daughter of Concubine Xian, and there will be only one concubine and a biological mother in the future, what is your relationship with the fourth princess? You came to Xianfu Palace for no reason, do you think the emperor's will is wrong? ”

The Queen Mother listened to Concubine De's complaining words, and felt very harsh, and the disgust in her eyes deepened, only to see her glance at Concubine De with the whites of her eyes, and then she said with deep meaning, and her tone was biased.

I'm afraid that Concubine De is lifting a stone and hitting her own feet today, Concubine Xian is pitied by the Queen Mother everywhere, and she especially cherishes Nangong Qing, on the other hand, she touched the ashes of her nose.

"The concubines didn't dare to say that the emperor's will was wrong, but they ...... The fourth princess is the meat that fell from the concubine's body, and seeing her raised in the virtuous concubine, I can't help but worry. ”

The queen mother put pressure, and Concubine De calmed down, and hurriedly denied it, but her eyes still looked at the direction of the fourth princess from time to time, and she was very reluctant.

"You don't have to worry about it, the mourning family looks at Concubine Xian much better than you, your mother, otherwise how could such a good child as Yuqing be taught by you like this, the emperor is sympathetic to your body, and secondly, for the princess to be well-educated, Concubine De, you don't know the general situation, how can you understand the emperor's hard work."

The Queen Mother listened to it for a while, but she still heard that Concubine De was unwilling, so she said mercilessly, demoting Concubine De from beginning to end, so that Concubine Xian, who was listening on the side, couldn't help but become cautious.

"The mourning family is too lazy to talk nonsense with you, now you will go back to Yanxi Palace, copy the scriptures for Yuqing's child a hundred times, and surpass her dead soul, when the emperor will allow you to come out, the mourning family will lift your grounding again."

After talking for a long time, the Queen Mother already had a lot of impatience in her eyes, only to see her open her eyes, and then snorted coldly before she said angrily.

"The Queen Mother's ......"

Concubine De was quite surprised, she never expected that the Queen Mother, who had always been unwilling, would suddenly pop out, and still target her vigorously, she called softly, I don't know how much unwillingness was mixed with.

Although Concubine De was reluctant, she still let Mama Gui drag a few powerful grandmothers down, crying and crying along the way, which caused a lot of discussion in the palace.

After Concubine De left, the Queen Mother signaled to Concubine Xian's maid, and Concubine Xian got up, and Nangong Qing was taken down to be healed by the Imperial Doctor.

"The Queen Mother forgives her sins, and the concubines should not disturb the Queen Mother's cultivation with such trivial matters, and ask the Queen Mother to punish her."

Seeing that the Queen Mother's face was pale, and with the experience of Concubine De, Concubine Xian seemed much more cautious, only to see her kneeling respectfully, looking sincere.

"That's it, what kind of system do you look like, wait a minute, let the palace maid dress up for you, Concubine De is out of proportion this time, the mourning family punished her, you raise the four princesses for the emperor, and the mourning family also knows that you are hard, but this hard work may not be temporary, the fourth princess will be your child in the future, you don't have to be talked about by others, you also have to understand the truth."

"Since the emperor let you take charge of the harem, you should be more attentive to everything, and you must also show the bearing of the family, not for yourself, but also for the sake of Qing'er's child."

The Queen Mother saw that Concubine Xian was unkempt and her face was stained with tears, so she opened her mouth to persuade her, and the Queen Mother's consistent practice was to suppress the anger and appease the wronged, which was exchanged for so many years of tranquility in the harem.

"The concubines follow the teachings of the Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother's sudden reassurance and rebuke surprised Concubine Xian, but she was only stunned for a second, and then quickly replied, which made the Queen Mother very satisfied.

After sending off the Queen Mother, Xianfu Palace breathed a sigh of relief, just like a person who had just come out of the sauna, there was a wave in the hall, but fortunately, Nangong Qing just knocked it, and it was no big deal, Concubine Xian changed her clothes again, and everything was as if it had never happened.

In the Xiaoyao Palace, Doctor Zhou carefully stared at the fire, seeing that the bowl of soup was about to be fried, Ye Zhenzhen personally poured out the medicine, and then carried it to Shangguan Yiyi's room with a tray.

"Hui'er, open the door."

Ye Zhenzhen glanced at Hui'er, and then said lightly.

Hui'er gently pushed the door open, Ye Zhenzhen carefully escorted the decoction in, and after seeing Ye Zhenzhen, Quan Hongyi let go of his hand a little uncomfortably, and his face was a little red.

"Excuse me? I think it's something I'm used to. ”

Ye Zhenzhen glanced at Quan Hongyi and Shangguan Yiyi, and then said angrily.

"Mother forgive sins, in the next ......"

"There is no need to explain, this is a medicine for wind and cold, you feed her, time is running out, you can leave with me later."

Ye Zhenzhen put the medicine on the round table, looked at the sky outside, and then said in advance.

After saying this, Ye Zhenzhen went out in a familiar sense, closed the door gently, Ye Zhenzhen sat in the corridor and looked at the blue sky, I don't know what's wrong, I was stunned, as if I was missing something.

"Madame, what does she feel uncomfortable about?"

I don't know when, Huaizhu quietly appeared behind Ye Zhenzhen, even Qingju didn't notice his footsteps, and a distant and warm inquiry had already come.

"No, it's almost time, please ask Imperial Doctor Zhou to go back to the palace."

Ye Zhenzhen came back to her senses suddenly, smiled and shook her head, and then looked at the door and said.

Qingju buckled the door and explained Ye Zhenzhen's meaning in a few words, and then Imperial Doctor Zhou took Quan Hongyi and left with her.

Three or five days later, the Daqing court has undergone earth-shaking changes, most of the generals have been sent out, or escort military rations, or send messages between various camps, the war between Daqing and Yan has spread, the war has been anxious, it is difficult to distinguish the winner.

Yan intended to fight Daqing to the end and unite other countries to resist Daqing, but despite the help of the grassland tribes of Wula and General Zhenxiong, there was no progress.

On the council hall, the officials were pale, all of them hung their heads and did not say a word, Emperor Daqing rubbed his temples and sat on the dragon chair, his eyes were bloodshot, and his eyes were red.

"Father, the sons and daughters think that they should immediately send troops to support now, Yan Guo is so hard-working, it's just that the ants are stubbornly resisting, they can't last long, as long as we continue, sooner or later, the entire Great Yan will be in our pocket one day."

Looking at the declining situation in the court, Nangong Hui couldn't help but stand up and say indignantly, mustering up morale and wanting to make others trust, but unfortunately the effect was very small, and the officials next to him were indifferent, even Nangong Mu didn't want to look at him more, and Emperor Daqing's face was even more ugly.

"Your Majesty, our army has sent 250,000 people to the border to support, our country's strength is limited, if we send people again, if the war is still so anxious, the inside is empty and the border is solid, I am afraid that it will let the people of other countries take advantage of the loopholes."

Everyone was silent, Nangong Hui suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and hurriedly took a step back, only then did an old minister of the court stand up and say quite sincerely, with constant worry in his eyes.

"I have sent 250,000 troops to confront the Yan State, if I collect troops or do not support the frontier at this time, I am afraid that it will strengthen the momentum of the Yan State, and destroy my own prestige, how will I Daqing gain a foothold in front of the countries in the future, I am afraid that everyone will step on it."

Emperor Daqing frowned, only to see him gently follow his eyebrows with his fingertips, and then sighed and said, I thought that Yan Guo was just a momentary anger, and it would be a success to defeat them, but who knew that such a situation would be provoked.

Not only is there no way to recover the lost territory, but also caused a situation where the abdomen is attacked by the enemy, if the imperial court sends troops again, I am afraid that the hinterland will be dangerous, if Xu or the next country takes the opportunity to sneak attack, I am afraid that the entire Daqing will disappear in history.

"Father, the sons and daughters think that this battle on the frontier must be fought, if we retreat at this time, it will give the Yan State a chance to attack, but I am afraid that it will not be able to be collected like a surging flood, and now it can still compete with the Yan State, it is better to send capable generals or a few elite horsemen to sneak attack, change the direction to win by skill, maybe we can gain the upper hand."

Everyone was silent, as if they had fallen into an unfathomable black hole, and then Nangong Mu stood up and said quite godly, this is still the only novel statement heard in the court, at the moment everyone is trapped in a situation of fighting and retreating and cannot extricate themselves, no one can stand at a high angle to cross the situation, so there is no Nangong Mu such an insight.

"The generals under my hands, King Xiaoyao is old, retired for a long time, Prince Rong is still dealing with some things for me at the moment, but there are no generals who can be competent for this matter at the moment, besides, Yan Guo is not an idle person, and there are other countries to assist from it, I am afraid that it will be even more difficult to sneak attack them, if it doesn't work, but I will send some people to them, don't forget, I have several generals imprisoned in Yan Country before, this kind of thing must not happen again."

Mentioning this matter, Emperor Daqing felt that his face was gloomy, in the struggle with Yan in the past, there were generals who were imprisoned as prisoners, or Nangong Mu personally ransomed people back, if this kind of thing happens again, how to put Emperor Daqing's face, a dignified general, if he is defeated, it will be fine, if he loses, he will lose face in vain.

All the people were speechless, Emperor Daqing's worries were very correct, and there were indeed no available generals in the court at the moment.

"Return to the emperor, the minister is willing to go!"
