The news that Mu Yihan was going to be sent to the southwest to suppress bandits quickly spread to Princess Yanxi.

Princess Yanxi only thought that the emperor valued Mu Yihan, so she would entrust him with this important task, and she was proud of her unique vision.

Although there are many royal talents, except for Mu Yihan, none of them can enter her eyes.

Thinking that Mu Yihan must be lonely and uncomfortable when he goes to the southwest, if he can take the opportunity to accompany him and be considerate to him along the way, wouldn't he be able to make him feel sorry for him and pay her his heart from now on......

Thinking of this, Princess Yanxi couldn't help but be excited, even how dangerous the southwest was was left behind.

This is a good time for Mu Yihan to favor herself, how can she not take the opportunity to seize it?

She immediately decided to go south with him!

It's just that as a princess, how can she make her own decisions?

If she made this proposal abruptly, I am afraid that people would laugh at her, thinking that she had no dignity and would instead pursue the man she loved, right?

Princess Yanxi was in a dilemma, so she had to call Huangfu Jing to discuss with him.

Huang Fujing heard this and immediately objected.

"Your Royal Highness, if you go with him, it will be good for him to fall in love with you, and marry you as the fourth princess, but what if he still refuses? In the end, princess, your chastity is not guaranteed, your reputation is ruined, and who in the royal family will marry you as a princess? In the end, the Ember Country can't go back, and it's difficult to be a person here, isn't the situation more and more shameful for people to be in a dilemma? ”

"If you are personally ridiculed, it's just that you, as the princess of Heqin, represent the entire Ember Country, if the Ember Country is swept away because of you, how can you be worthy of the king and the people of the Ember Country?"

When Princess Yanxi heard this, she felt discouraged and sat down on the couch in a gloomy manner.

She bit her lip tightly, only to feel reluctant, and very annoyed by the injustice of fate.

Huangfu Jing was about to be persuaded to say something, and Princess Yanxi reprimanded impatiently: "Go out, don't talk to me about any big truths, I'm very annoyed!" ”

Huangfujing had no choice but to retreat.

He was afraid that Princess Yanxi would do something inappropriate, so he ordered someone to keep an eye on her in front of the palace gate.

On Queen Chen's side, the atmosphere was not very peaceful.

Empress Chen walked around in the front hall of Kunning Palace, looking a little flustered.

Finally, she stopped and instructed her subordinates: "Call Commander Xie to the palace, and the palace has something to say to him." ”

Not long after, Xie Dong was called over from the headquarters of the Imperial Forest Army and saluted respectfully to the graceful and majestic Empress Chen.

"Commander Xie, this time the fourth prince went to the southwest to suppress bandits, and the palace intends to recommend you to the emperor to go with him, what do you think?" Empress Chen asked nonchalantly.

Xie Dong was stunned for a moment, and asked inexplicably: "Why did the queen mother recommend her subordinates to go?" In charge of the security in and around the capital, if Wei Chen leaves his post without permission for many years, I'm afraid something is wrong, right? There are so many fierce and resourceful generals in the DPRK, I'm afraid it won't be the turn of his subordinates to take advantage of this loophole, right? ”

Xie Dong euphemistically excused himself, Queen Chen's face sank, and she snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "If you don't want to go, it's just greedy for life and afraid of death, and you're afraid that you won't have any honor to waste your time in vain, not to mention that you will be blamed and punished by the emperor, why do you have to say so many beautiful things?" ”

Being poked by Empress Chen, Xie Dong smiled shyly, "Since you know everything clearly, then you will fulfill your subordinates, right?" It's not easy for this subordinate to come by, and it's doing well, but I don't want to give it up to people ......."

"Who told you to give it up?" Empress Chen interrupted him, "This palace just asked you to go with you, and I will transfer you back to Beijing at the right time, and I will never delay it for too long." The purpose of this palace recommending you to go is not to let you assist the four princes, but to ...... Don't give me any other commands, just do it. ”

Empress Chen's words made Xie Dong inevitably surprised, but he knew that no matter what Empress Chen ordered, he had no qualifications to shirk, so he immediately gave up his hand and said: "Please show Niangniang, if your subordinates can do it, they will do it with all their hearts!" ”

"You have to do it!" Empress Chen's steady tone was slightly urgent, and mixed with a hint of ruthlessness, "After all, if this matter is exposed, it will not only damage me, but also yourself!" ”

Xie Dong was taken aback, and looked at Empress Chen more and more confusedly, "I don't know what you said about ...... Empress Niang."

Empress Chen turned her back and didn't look at him, her cold voice was like nine frosts, which made the temperature in this hall drop by a few points, "Ten years ago, Shen Changzai was sent back to her hometown by me begging the emperor, and her hometown was in the southwest corner. If she is still alive now, and she is found by the fourth child, the consequences can you and I bear? ”

She threw a slap in the face, like a hook lock locking Xie Dong.

Xie Dong only felt that this vision was biting him like a poisonous scorpion, and he suddenly felt that his body was stiff, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

"What does Niangniang mean is that it is possible that the fourth prince has already known about it?"

"Although the palace doesn't know if he knows or not, after all, he accepted the emperor's appointment so easily, which always makes the palace feel suspicious and uneasy." Empress Chen frowned and said, and bluntly instructed Xie Dongdao, "This palace orders you to go and eradicate all the troubles before him." Do you understand what Hongu means? ”

Empress Chen's ruthlessness and cunning were something that Xie Dong had seen a long time ago, and he naturally understood what she wanted to do for herself.

What's more, he also participated in the tragedy in the past, and Empress Chen and herself were also firmly bound together because of this case, if Empress Chen fell because of this, then he would naturally be unhappy, even worse than the ending of Commander Yu at that time.

He finally understood the seriousness of the matter, and hurriedly responded solemnly: "My subordinates understand." If the emperor agrees to let his subordinates follow, his subordinates will be ready and leave Beijing without hesitation. ”

Empress Chen breathed a sigh of relief with satisfaction, turned her gaze to the window, looked at the misty sky in the southwest, and hooked her lips and sneered.

Regarding Empress Chen's proposal, the emperor also had the same concerns as Xie Dong.

Empress Chen had already thought of the appropriate wording for this, and said bitterly to the emperor: "Your Majesty, you only sent two military attaches to accompany you, and you can only monitor what Lao Si is doing on his face, if he secretly makes any moves, what is the use of them?" Commander Xie is very different, he is very good at reconnaissance, and the ugly deeds of many officials in the capital are not discovered by him in secret? Therefore, sending Commander Xie to follow him can monitor the fourth child's every move, so that no matter whether he collaborates with the enemy or not, he will not be able to escape the eyes and ears of the emperor. ”

The emperor only felt that this was reasonable, and said, "That's fine." It's just that the position of the commander of the capital is bound to be handed over to others to act as an agent. ”

The queen took the opportunity to recommend another person, who was also a confidant of her own family, and the emperor thought that she was enough to be competent, so he also obeyed her.

When Empress Chen saw that this was done, her heart relaxed a little, her eyes flashed again, and she mentioned another thing with a smile.
