The capital, Prince Rui's palace.

Qin Yunluo sat by the window, watching the leaves on the trees fall, it was still summer when Duan Xingzhen had just left the capital, and now it was autumn.

Qin Yunluo tightened her cloak and looked out the window with an indissoluble longing.

Zhen'er looked at Qin Yunluo's appearance and knew that she had already begun to think about Duan Xingzhen now.

The princess has to do this every day looking out the window, she is very distressed when she looks at the sidelines, and wants to comfort her, but she also knows that the princess knows everything, but she can't control her emotions now.

Jane put her things aside and went out.

Just leave space for the princess, she thought in her heart.

Qin Yunluo is very anxious now, if you count it, they have been in the northwest for a long time now, but there has been no news back.

Before, the king of Northern Xinjiang brought so many people over, and it didn't seem that there was any useful news coming back, Qin Yunluo couldn't help but stand up and walk around.

Palace.

The emperor had just received a letter from the frontier, and he was furious when he learned what had happened in the northwest these days.

The people who served that day were all worried, for fear that the emperor would spill his anger on their heads in the next second.

The ministers were summoned to the palace again, and they knew what had happened.

"Your Majesty, the people of Qi are too rampant, please make the pen, and you will definitely punish them well."

The emperor frowned, his words were nothing more than brains, if he could send troops directly so easily, why did he call them all to discuss carefully?

Liu He understood the emperor's concerns, and immediately said, "Your Majesty, it's too early to say punishment, the northwest has just experienced such a big drought, it should not have eased up, if a war breaks out at this time, I am afraid that it will make the people resentful." ”

The emperor softened his face, he naturally disapproved of going to war in his heart, and then looked at Duan Yinzhou again.

"What does Prince Rui think? Should I attack them this time or let them go once? ”

Duan Yinzhou's thoughts were the same as Liu He's, "Back to Your Majesty's words, Weichen's thoughts are similar to Lord Liu's, now is not a good time to go to war." ”

"There are three reasons for this."

The Emperor raised his hand, "But it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

"One is what Lord Fang Cai Liu said, if there is a war now, the people are afraid of resentment, and second, now the treasury has just provided so much grain to the northwest, although there is still a surplus, but once the war starts, this food needs more, and third, the dog is still in the northwest, according to what the king of northern Xinjiang said in his heart......"

Duan Yinzhou paused slightly, "Now that he is going deep into the tiger's den, please ask Your Majesty to trust the dog and will definitely be able to solve this matter properly." ”

The Emperor was obviously already on Liu He's side, but again, there was one more thing that had to be resolved besides this matter.

"Then how to deal with the business transactions between the Northwest and the Qi Kingdom?"

"Back to Your Majesty, now is a special period, it is inevitable that no one will take this opportunity to sneak to the Ji Dynasty, just in case, no one is allowed to enter the court during this time."

The emperor nodded, and this matter was settled in this way, looking at the ministers below, and then dispersing.

Duan Yinzhou and Liu He left together, and the two of them went directly to Prince Rui's mansion.

Qin Yunluo watched the two of them come in together, and knew that the two of them must have some news, and immediately looked at them with bright eyes.

"What news does my father and Brother Liu have? Ah Zhen's side? ”

Duan Yinzhou had already asked Prince Rui to come over before, and when they arrived, he told them everything he knew.

"Your Majesty has received a letter from the King of Northern Xinjiang, and now Ah Zhen is not in the Northwest City, but has gone to the Qi Kingdom."

Qin Yunluo was still calm, and then said, "But something happened in the northwest, otherwise why would you go to Qi Country for no reason?" ”

Liu He knew that this matter couldn't be hidden from her, and immediately said, "It's not a big deal, Duan Shizi is not injured, but this time it seems that the people of Qi Country have made trouble from beginning to end, and they want to go over there to see what is going on." ”

Qin Yunluo's heart jumped suddenly, and for some reason, she always felt an ominous premonition.

Liu He had been with Qin Yunluo before, and when he saw him like this, he knew how nervous he was now, and spoke.

"There hasn't been any news from them yet, but you know, sometimes no news is good news, so you don't need to be so nervous."

But how could Qin Yunluo not be nervous? She took a deep breath, saw that everyone present was looking at her, pulled her lips and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I'll be fine." ”

At least it will be fine when he knows that Duan Xingzhen has been fine.

Prince Rui was a little worried about Qin Yunluo's state, and after Duan Yinzhou and the others left, she still stayed here.

"Mother, I wasn't so flustered before, but I don't know why, knowing that he ran away to another country, I couldn't stop worrying."

Prince Rui held the person in her arms, "You are concerned about it, don't worry, it will be fine." ”

"Each of you says that, but ......," Qin Yunluo said halfway through, and then said, "Well, he will definitely be fine." ”

Seeing that Prince Rui coaxed herself as if she was coaxing a little girl, Qin Yunluo couldn't help but raise her head, "If Mother has something to do, leave first." ”

"Hmm."

The emperor had already decreed that the entire border pass was under martial law, and no matter what country it was, it was easy not to let people in.

However, this tension between the countries has not yet spread among the people, and the whole of Kyoto is still as prosperous as it was before.

After Zhen'er dressed up Qin Yunluo, she then spoke, "Princess Shi, it's very lively outside today, why don't we go out and take a look?" ”

Qin Yunluo also wanted to divert her attention from one thing, but after thinking about it, she finally agreed.

The two of them walked along the long street, but Qin Yunluo had red eyes in the end, no matter which road it was, she had walked with Duan Xingzhen, and now when she walked here again, it was inevitable that she would touch the scene.

Zhen'er patted her head angrily, and then said, "If the princess is not feeling well, let's go back first?" It's been out long enough. ”

"Okay."

Qin Yunluo was helped into the carriage by Zhen'er, and the whole person had no energy at all.

She knew in her heart that what was the use of going back?

It's just that the candles are lit night after night until dawn, as long as Duan Xingzhen is not by her side now, she won't be able to sleep.
