"Something happened to the frontier." Qi Aoshan spoke calmly.

Qi Hengchuan knew that the previous matter was not simple, after all, he was not sure that Princess Xiliao would not suddenly propose to make peace, but he didn't expect it to be because of an accident in the frontier.

Qi Hengchuan frowned and said, "What's wrong?" ”

"Early this morning, the soldiers of the border guards came to report, saying that the heavy rains in the border have been continuous for several days, which has destroyed most of the crops in the border area, and there is not much grain and grass left on the border at present. According to the estimation of the soldiers of the border guards, the only remaining grain and grass in the frontier at this time can only last for another month at most. ”

Qi Aoshan sighed and said helplessly: "So Xiliao saw the disaster situation in the frontier this time, and deliberately chose to ask for peace at this special moment, the purpose is to make it impossible for me to refuse their unreasonable demands, and take the opportunity to hold part of the power of my country into their hands." ”

"If I don't agree to their requests, they will take the opportunity to attack the frontier. In this way, the people in the border areas are afraid that they will not be able to wait for the disaster to be alleviated, and they will be tormented by the war, not to mention that there is a shortage of grain and grass in the border defenses, and they are afraid that if the war is fought, they will run out of ammunition and food sooner or later. When the time comes, the internal and external traps will not be easily resolved by just a friendly person. ”

Seeing Qi Hengchuan's ugly face, Qi Aoshan didn't want to say more, but considering the urgency of the national situation, he insisted on filling in the remaining unfinished words.

Sui Yiyi didn't know what to say at the moment.

Should I sacrifice my petty love in the face of catastrophe and protect the country's territorial security, or should I find some way to deal with it and do my best to protect my love?

But the emperor has already said it so bluntly, and the meaning of his words is self-evident. I can't seem to think of any better way to persuade the princess of Xiliao to retreat.

What should I do?

Sui Yiyi was in a state of confusion at the moment, and she couldn't think of a good way for a while, so she couldn't say anything.

Qi Hengchuan saw Sui Yiyi's depressed expression, for fear that Sui Yiyi would open his mouth and say the words "agree to and kiss" and "withdraw from marriage", and immediately told Qi Aoshan that it was impossible for him to repent of the marriage and agree to the marriage, and he would think of other ways to make Princess Xiliao retreat.

Then Qi Hengchuan retired from Qi Aoshan, and dragged Sui Yiyi, who couldn't figure out what he was thinking, to leave.

On the way back to the General's Mansion, Sui Yiyi didn't say anything. Qi Hengchuan knew that Sui Yiyi didn't want to interfere with his thoughts and decisions, she wanted to give the choice to herself.

Qi Hengchuan was still thinking about how to make Princess Xiliao retreat at this time, and there was no good way for the time being, he could only hold Sui Yiyi's hand and tell her his heart for her through his clenched hands.

"Trust me, I'll figure it out." Qi Hengchuan patted the back of Sui Yiyi's hand.

Sui Yiyi nodded and didn't say anything.

After all, the reality is not what she can force, if no one can come up with a reasonable solution in the end, she will probably have to sacrifice her little love to complete the country.

Sui Yiyi, who returned to the mansion, was worried, the whole person looked sluggish, Chunzhi and Xia Ling took turns thinking of ways to amuse Sui Yiyi, but Sui Yiyi still couldn't smile with a tense face.

In order to divert his mind, Sui Yiyi went to the store.

It's just that even when she got to the store, Sui Yiyi still couldn't get rid of her low mood.

Chen Yunjing, who was busy in the store, also noticed that Sui Yiyi's state was wrong, and after handing over the work at hand, she walked towards the Luohan chair where Sui Yiyi was sitting.

Chen Yunjing pulled out a chair, sat opposite Sui Yiyi, and asked straight to the point, "Is there anything that can't be solved?" ”

Sui Yiyi looked up at Chen Yunjing, thinking that Chen Yunjing had been with her father since she was a child, and she must have seen a lot of things about the government and the people, so she might be able to come up with some good ways, so she told her about Princess Xiliao's courtship.

However, there is no accident that the matter is an unsolvable proposition, after listening to what Sui Yiyi said, Chen Yunjing did not speak for ten seconds, and after holding it for a long time, he only said softly: "Don't worry too much, things may take a turn for the better." ”

Hearing this, Sui Yiyi's mood was even lower.

During lunchtime, Sui Yiyi took two bites of food sluggishly, and almost didn't eat anything.

And her plan to lose weight was terminated a long time ago, when Qi Hengchuan told her that she didn't need to lose any more.

Seeing that the eldest lady, who usually likes to laugh and make trouble, suddenly became so unenergetic, Chunzhi and Xia Ling were also very worried in their hearts, and they were so worried that the two of them couldn't eat.

Sui Yiyi, who returned to the room, was lying on the bed in a daze with her eyes open, Xia Ling couldn't help it with worry, and helped her eldest lady to shake it twice.

"Miss! What the hell is wrong with you?! If there's anything we can't solve, you can tell us! How can we help?! ”

Sui Yiyi said in a daze: "You can't help with this...... What can you do......"

Chunzhi hurriedly said: "No matter what it is, Miss, you say it, we can think of a way together......"

Sui Yiyi looked up at the two of them, two little girls, who have no power or power, have been by her side since they were children, they have not been far away, and they have not seen too many people in the world, what can they help?

But what good idea might they come up with?

So Sui Yiyi held on to a little hope, and briefly retold what the emperor said when he entered the palace in the morning, emphasizing the words "harmony" and "war".

When Chunzhi and Xia Ling heard this, the two of them looked at each other, but neither of them spoke.

The weddings and funerals in the royal family are basically decided by the royal people, and the people below will always have to obey. Miss is lucky, born in the Sui family, she is still a concubine, since she was a child, the general's wife has been very fond of her, and the lord's status as a general, so she has the ability to set the marriage between the young lady and the prince.

But in any case, in the end, this matter was only done because the emperor nodded, and if the emperor insisted on avoiding the war through peace at this time, they naturally had no choice.

Sui Yiyi didn't have much hope for the two of them, but seeing that they didn't speak, she naturally stopped asking, and got up from the bed silently, wanting to go out to breathe and change her mood.

As soon as she walked to the garden, someone came to inform Sui Yiyi to go to Sui Weiguo's study, saying that the general was waiting for her in the study.

Sui Weiguo heard the quick report of the border guards when he was in the barracks at noon, and then immediately rushed to the palace to see Qi Ao Mountain.

After confirming Princess Xiliao's intentions, he was also very worried, worried that his baby daughter would be hurt because of this incident.
