The countermeasure that Yue'er thought of before was to cut off the financial route of the Qihua Palace, a mysterious gang like the Qihua Palace, if it wants to survive, it must use a lot of money, and this trick is to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle.

In addition, what Yue'er didn't expect was that Qihua Palace sent the big red pill to the capital by sea, no wonder she wondered why they didn't sell it to Jiangnan last time, it turned out that the cost of taking the sea route was lower than going to the mainland.

The second thing is that Li Tianqi of Xichun Kingdom found Wanyan A Shilan of Dajing Kingdom to sign the covenant, Xichun Kingdom sent 30,000 troops to stab the big bird country in the back, and Li Dahao was ready to slip away, he should be going back to Xichun to grab the position.

Yue'er thought about it for a while, and wrote back, first, to capture Li Dahao and imprison him, anyway, he was just about to slip away, second, to find out the truth of the Frost Leaf Pavilion and prepare to take over, third, about the news about getting the box of pills, it must be kept secret and must not be leaked, in addition, send two pieces for yourself to identify.

After the letter was written, Yue'er sealed it with wax, and asked Rudong to quietly send it to Niu Tao.

After this matter was dealt with, Yue'er breathed a sigh of relief.

Xuan Ling got down late today, and he didn't come back until noon, he returned to Anhua Palace, his face was pale, and he didn't say a word, Yue'er was taken aback.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"

"I issued an order yesterday that the general officer led the generalissimo of the state soldiers and horses, and ordered 50,000 forbidden troops to leave today, but the military department dragged on yesterday, and so far even the list of soldiers has not been counted!"

"Ah, the senior official can't leave today, will this delay the fighter?"

"Yes, don't talk about today, tomorrow or the day after tomorrow can't be said."

"What the hell is going on?"

"The forbidden army is seriously paid empty, here in the capital is known as 100,000 forbidden troops, yesterday he counted it, it is estimated that the total is less than 70,000, and half of them are old and weak soldiers, how to fight this battle!"

Yue'er sighed.

"This is a dereliction of duty on the part of the Ministry of War, how should Your Majesty deal with it?"

"I have already sent someone to investigate, once it is verified, it must be dealt with strictly!"

"Oh, who did His Majesty send?"

"The fifth prince, King Zhaoshu."

Yue'er sighed, she suddenly thought of Li Dahao, this guy was named the king of Xiqi, and he only had one more word than Zhaoshu's king of Qi.

Xuan Ling sighed and said: "It stands to reason that this matter can be handed over to the prince, but the prince is grounded now, so he can only be handed over to Shu'er, among the princes, he is the only one who has the ability to do things." ”

In fact, there is also a sixth prince Zhao Yi in Windy City, he is only one day younger than Zhao Shu, and he is the son of Concubine Jing, but Xuan Ling did not mention it.

Yue'er faintly felt that Xuan Ling's arrangement was a little inappropriate.

"Why don't you leave it to Lord Sikong to dispose of?"

"Hmph, the military department is his person, let him check, then it will become a formality, and nothing can be found!"

"What about Lin Chengyong?"

Xuan Ling glanced at Yue'er.

Yue'er knew that she was speechless, and hurriedly knelt down and said: "The concubine is too talkative, the concubine should not interfere in the affairs of the court, please punish Your Majesty." ”

"You just ask, it's not meddler, Lin Chengyong I don't dare to use it for the time being, after all, I just disposed of his daughter, this, this can't be said, Shu'er is serious, it shouldn't be wrong to leave it to him."

Yue'er nodded, changed the topic, and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine went to ask the Queen Mother for peace today." ”

"Very good, you should have gone a long time ago, this is my negligence, I should have told the Queen Mother earlier."

"No, it's the concubine's qualifications that are still shallow."

Xuan Ling hugged Yue'er's slender waist and said, "Yu'er, what are you talking about, for more than a year, I have wronged you." ”

Yue'er's heart was pounding, but she didn't dare to struggle.

"Your Majesty, today the concubine met the queen's mother, she has something to ask for."

"What's the matter?"

Xuan Ling's voice was a little cold, and he let go of his hand.

"The queen said that she has something to discuss with Her Majesty, and hopes that you can go to her for the night to spend the night."

"I see."

Xuan Ling looked unhappy.

"Your Majesty, the queen is the queen after all, you have been here with the concubines for more than half a month, and the other concubines have already started gossiping."

"Gossip, what kind of gossip, do you want the rain and dew to be wet, I am like this now, even if I go, what can they get to it, is it to drive piles outside, and bring them back with their eyes?"

Yue'er smiled and said, "Everyone doesn't know that the emperor has a bad waist recently and needs to be recuperated, they just think that the concubines are loved by thousands of people, and they are very jealous." ”

Xuan Ling nodded and said, "Yes, what you said is reasonable, I have been staying in Anhua Hall will affect you, and it is not appropriate to go to other concubines, then I will give the queen a face and go to her tonight." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding."

Xuan Ling called in a eunuch.

"You go to the Renming Hall to inform the queen, I will go to her for the night tonight, let her prepare, by the way, the time may be late, if you can't wait, let her sleep first."

"Yes—"

The eunuch took the order and departed.

At the end of the day, Gonggong Tong came to Anhua Hall to ask for a meeting.

Xuan Ling was very surprised and asked, "Official, why did you still run into the palace?" ”

Gonggong Tong kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is here to play, and the minister feels that the matter at the border can not be delayed any longer, and he must send troops immediately tomorrow, so he came to ask for an order." ”

"But the soldiers and horses are not ready, how to go to the battle?"

"In the afternoon, the minister has already ordered 30,000 forbidden troops, and the three envoys of Zhou, Wang, and Chen can still gather 70,000 horses, and the 100,000 army should be enough, if we are late, the sixteen states in front of the city will fall into the hands of the Great Jingguo, and it will be very difficult for us to come back!"

Xuan Ling was silent for a moment.

"Yes, you have a point!"

Xuan Ling drew up a holy decree, and after writing it, it was stamped with a jade seal and handed it to his father-in-law, who kowtowed to receive the decree and left.

That night, Xuan Ling was writing in the studio, and Yue'er was playing the piano on the side, and it was not until the hour that Xuan Ling reluctantly drove to the Renming Palace.

At this moment, in the main hall of the Kunxi Palace, it is a different scene.

In the temple were three kneeling and one sitting.

If Yue'er saw it, she would definitely be surprised, because they were none other than the palace master of Qihua Palace, Concubine Baili and the two envoys.

The palace master's face was already pale, and at this time there was even more bloodlessness, and the murderous intent in her eyes was full, and she wanted to kill someone at a glance.

Concubine Baili was silent, and the other two envoys dressed as guards knelt there trembling.

"Why is this happening, you say, why!"

The tall envoy kowtowed repeatedly.

"The subordinates should be damned, the subordinates are not doing their job effectively, ask the palace master to punish him!"

"This palace thought that the ship to Mizhou capsized, which was an accident, but Leizhou has been in business for many years, how could it be all seized overnight, and the officials there were all settled?"

"Yes, yes, my subordinates don't know where something went wrong, so I will personally go to Leizhou tomorrow to find out the reason."

"Not only do we have to find out the reason, but the key is to refine another batch of Immortal Ascending Pills!"

"Yes, yes, my subordinates will supervise it in person."

The palace lord gritted his teeth.

"Fortunately, that batch of Ascending Immortal Pills is still raw, if it is cooked, it can directly instruct our Qihua Palace!"

The tall envoy only dared to kowtow.

"You know how big the loss is this time, all our plans have come to naught, once you go back and forth, it will take a month on the way, even if you can refine the Ascending Immortal Pill and the Great Red Pill and bring it back, the mortgage taken out this time will not be recovered!"

"Yes, yes, my subordinates should be damned."

"The loss of the Great Red Pill is gone, that box of Ascending Immortal Pill is gone, how can I remedy it?"

The palace master said with a cold light flashing in his eyes.

The short envoy didn't stop kowtowing.

"The subordinates should die, the subordinates should die, please punish the palace master severely!"

"Hmph, if the Ascending Immortal Pill is lost, it's not enough to pay for your lives!"

"Yes, yes—"

Concubine Baili had the courage to kowtow and said: "Your Excellency the palace master, my subordinates think that someone must be secretly making trouble in this matter, otherwise there will be no accident!" ”

"Who is the trickster?"

"The subordinates feel that they should be the prince's people."

"It is impossible for the prince to know that the workshop of the Great Red Pill is in Leizhou, except for the people in Leizhou, only the four of us know about this matter in Gale City."

The short envoy glared at Concubine Baili.

"Could it be that the Red Envoy suspects that there is something wrong with us? If it is the crown prince, he can fly a pigeon and pass on the book, because half of the ministers of the court and the central government support him. ”

Baili Fei still shook her head.
