Chapter 664: News Returns to Beijing
Yan Rongling came over twice, looking at Gu Fanghua's appearance of not speaking, and the indescribable feeling in his heart.
In private, Yan Rongling asked Imperial Doctor Sun about Gu Fanghua's physical condition.
Imperial Physician Sun was worried that if there was an accident in Gu Fanghua's production, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would definitely be furious. So the symptoms of three points were exaggerated to eight points.
Therefore, Yan Rongling can only follow Gu Fanghua, hoping that she can give birth safely, and she must not die in childbirth like her aunt Princess Liuyue.
Even Yan Rongling began to regret that he should wait for Mingzhu to give birth before attacking Xiao Yao.
But the matter has come to this point, and I can only take good care of Mingzhu.
This evening. The news of Yumen Pass was finally sent to the capital, and he rode straight to the palace on a fast horse.
The messenger was sent by Gu Dian and killed several horses along the way, and finally rushed to the capital to meet Emperor Hong Zheng. He presented the secret fold high, and after the prince took it down for inspection, he handed it over to Emperor Hong Zheng.
When Emperor Hong Zheng saw the news that the Great Zhou soldiers had defeated the Liao, but Xiao Yao was missing, he had a little headache for a while.
In the secret fold, Gu Dian wrote the battle plan and the division of labor of each person in detail. Try to tell the whole story from the perspective of a bystander.
Emperor Hong Zheng has experienced a hundred battles and is good at planning, so it can be determined that someone must have leaked out of this battle plan in advance.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for the Liao people to completely abandon the two wings and attack the Chinese army.
Emperor Hong Zheng had a gloomy face, although he won a big victory this time, if he lost the coach, he would also lose face. If Xiao Yao falls into the hands of the Liao, it will be even more troublesome.
"That's all you have with you?"
"Back to the emperor, there are two more letters, which are addressed to the Queen Mother and Mrs. Gu respectively."
Emperor Hong Zheng didn't expect that the messenger would not hide it and would be blunt.
The messenger said: "Gu Juma said that if the emperor is willing, he can read these two letters first, and then send them to the queen mother and the old lady." ”
When Emperor Hong Zheng heard this, he knew that there would be no secrets in the letter, so he waved his hand and said, "I don't need to look at it, you go to Cining Palace to deliver the letter first." ”
"The slave obeyed the order, Gu Yuma also said that on the second day of the slave's letter, he would personally clean up the battlefield, and there would be a letter tomorrow."
"I know, you step back first."
After the messenger retreated, he went directly to Cining Palace, and when Empress Dowager Zhong got the letter, her hands were trembling, for fear of seeing Xiao Yao's death.
Fortunately, the letter only said that Xiao Yao's whereabouts were unknown.
However, with Empress Dowager Zhong's experience, it is not difficult to guess that the reason why Xiao Yao had an accident was because someone leaked the battle plan of Da Zhou in advance.
She was very angry, Yan Rongling wanted to put Xiao Yao to death, it was the second time, regardless of the lives of the Great Zhou soldiers.
In this way, for the sake of one's own selfish desires, he disregards the interests of the whole country, which is really unworthy of being a king!
But now Xiao Yao's life and death are unknown, and Mingzhu is pregnant with Liujia, so he really can't hide it. And the time of Xiao Yao's accident happened to be the night when Mingzhu had a nightmare.
Could it be that Xiao Yao really can't escape death?
And what should I say to Mingzhu?
Empress Dowager Zhong was anxious, and finally decided that she could hide it for a day. Maybe when Ye Shisan arrives at Yumen Pass, Xiao Yao will have already found it.
The news of the messenger's entry into the palace could not be concealed from Yan Rongling.
He had already received the news yesterday, and the letter had already said that the battle plan formulated by Xiao Yao, as well as the personnel arrangements, had been leaked to the Liao people.
The Chinese army under the command of Xiao Yao, against the main force of the Shangliao people, among thousands of troops and horses, there is no one to support, and it will definitely be outnumbered.
What's more, the black-robed man also led people to lurk, and he would see the right time to release the cold arrow, so be sure that Xiao Yao was in a different place.
In Yan Rongling's opinion, no matter how high Xiao Yao's martial arts are, he can't face thousands of troops, so Xiao Yao will definitely die. I only hope that the black-robed people will dispose of Xiao Yao's body and not send it back to the capital.
Of course, I have to tell Imperial Doctor Sun privately that in the near future, I should pay close attention to Mingzhu.
The child in the womb must be saved, and the pearl must be saved, and there can be no accidents. In order to avoid Mingzhu from having no worries and no will to survive in the future, then this child must also live.
Under the gag order issued by Empress Dowager Zhong, no one dared to reveal the news to Gu Fanghua.
However, although Gu Fanghua was lifeless, she didn't cry or make trouble, she just waited for Ye Shisan's arrival at Yumen Pass and gave her a reply.
Before Ye Shisan didn't write a letter, she didn't hear, didn't ask, and didn't believe it.
Soon on the second day, Gu Dian and Zhang Huai, as well as General Yang Chi, including Yu Yuyuan's excerpts, also arrived in the capital. Emperor Hong Zheng looked at it carefully and sighed.
"Wang Ning, you say, is Xiao Yao really dead?"
The prince smiled cautiously and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, you want to see people in this life, and you want to see corpses in death." Since Gu Yuma was able to turn evil into good fortune back then, I believe that Marquis Xiao can too. ”
"I don't even believe what you say, you minion. The reason why Gu Dian was able to turn evil into good fortune was because he fell into a mountain stream. Xiao Yao disappeared on the battlefield on the grassland, and the possibility of survival is too small. ”
Emperor Hong Zheng picked up Gu Dian's fold again and looked at it again.
sighed: "What's more, looking at what Gu Dian said, Xiao Yao should have been killed in Baojing Mountain in the end." If there is no Xiao Yao among those corpses, it is very likely that Xiao Yao will be captured. I'd rather die in battle than see him captured and humiliated. ”
The prince didn't dare to speak, but felt sorry for Princess Mingzhu in his heart.
At the beginning of the wedding, Marquis Xiao only stayed for two days and returned to Yumen Pass. As a result, now I am separated from Princess Mingzhu forever, and I don't know what Princess Pearl will do in the future?
Emperor Hong Zheng thought more in his heart, and there were only a handful of people who could know the battle plan and have the ability to leak it to the Liao.
In addition to Gu Dian, Zhang Huai, Yang Chi and Yu Yuyuan are all possible.
But none of them had the motive to collaborate with the enemy and commit treason, and Xiao Yao was killed, and the person with the motive would only be the prince. Coupled with Xiao Yao's previous excerpts, Emperor Hong Zheng had doubts about Yan Rongling.
"Someone is coming, pass the prince over."
Yan Rongling put down the fold in his hand and walked quickly to the imperial study.
"Erchen has seen his father, but he doesn't know what his father has summoned him. Yesterday, a herald entered the palace, was it because something happened to the Yumen Pass? ”
Yan Rongling did not evade it, and asked directly, because as the crown prince, he must have a view of the overall situation.
Emperor Hong Zheng didn't speak, only stared at Yan Rongling, as if he wanted to see his true thoughts through his humble appearance.
"Xiao Yao is missing."
Yan Rongling was shocked, this was definitely not pretending, but a real shock.
In his opinion, Xiao Yao must have died in the chaos, how could he be missing? You know, it's not a forest, it's not a river, it's a grassland.
"Father, could there be a mistake? If something happens to Xiao Yao, what will Mingzhu do? ”
Yan Rongling's face was anxious, and that realistic demeanor made Emperor Hong Zheng hesitate and make up his mind, whether it was Yan Rongling or not?
