Duan Shuqing didn't answer, but his expression was already acquiescing.

Yue Bai continued: "Xi Jinghui thought that Great Xia had sent Yue Tang to pretend to be a soldier of the Northern Court to sabotage the results of the peace negotiations between the two countries, and for some reason she ran away without her life when she saw her, and suspected that she had been poisoned and lost her memory, so she pursued all the way into Lanxi, and chased through two cities and three towns, and only caught this person halfway through Beijing, and found that this person was wearing a human skin mask. Although he was relieved, he was also worried, so he thought about seeing Yue Tang with his own eyes to make sure she was okay. ”

Duan Shuqing smiled lightly: "It's really moving." So the dignified Daxia Zhongyong Gong helped him arrange it? ”

Yue Bai: "The minister only learned the news after he entered Beijing, and it was calculated that Ke Zhao should have taken care of him, but the minister did make it convenient when he left Beijing, and the minister recognized it." ”

Duan Shuqing sneered: "Let Prince Xi leave, do you have ten heads?" ”

Yue Bai: "The minister only wrote according to the peace document - 'From now on, it will be convenient for the two associations to visit relatives and friends, and open the door to peace' and replaced the customs clearance document for the Beiting Shenying Lang, so that he will not hide and go to school."

Duan Shuqing: "Heh, you know how to use all the laws of Great Xia. She inhaled irritably, "Yourself, what should I do with you?" ”

Yue Bai: "But it's up to the emperor to make it." ”

Duan Shuqing looked at him, remembering what kind of comfort and protection this man had given her in those lonely years when she was afraid of being murdered by Yue Rong, and remembering his short but powerful promises—every word, he had done.

Duan Shuqing was a little unclear for a while, how he wanted to get rid of him.

Or perhaps, when he called him back to the palace in a hurry, he didn't plan how to send him down at all.

But.

The time she can exterminate Beiting is running out.

Duan Shuqing looked at the man kneeling on the ground, this man who had always been respectful, sincere and loving to her, his heart that should have been ruthless and ruthless would always be clogged by softness, and he inevitably remembered the tenderness and sweetness between them.

With a long breath from his nose, Duan Shuqing said, "Since you can't go to the North Court, then change General Yingying." It just so happened that Prince Xi couldn't bear to attack her, and the battle situation was in our favor. ”

Whether it was a temptation or a decision, Yue Bai couldn't tell the difference. In the years he has been with the empress, there have been countless similar situations, and he has always felt that it is just a moment from his initial apprehension and speculation to his current indifference and numbness.

Yue Bai slowly knelt down and looked at Duan Shuqing: "The emperor has to fight?" ”

Duan Shuqing: "You have to fight." ”

Yue Bai: "No turnaround?" ”

Duan Shuqing: "There is no way to turn around." ”

Yue Bai nodded, and his voice was unwavering: "In this case, the minister is willing to go." ”

Duan Shuqing was a little surprised: "Oh? Why did you suddenly change your mind? ”

Yue Bai: "General Guiying has been in poor health since Lanxi was seriously injured, and he is no longer suitable for running to fight, so I implore the emperor to read that she is in trouble with the plague of Lanxi and almost sacrificed, and the ministers will go on the expedition." ”

Duan Shuqing smiled: "Can I still trust you now?" You're the one who even Prince Xi would let go. Will you turn against Prince Xi to crusade against me? ”

Yue Bai's eyes were still unwavering, and he looked at Duan Shuqing and said, "Between the monarchs and ministers, between you and me, there is no need to doubt this matter. ”

Duan Shuqing was slightly stunned, remembering that Yue Bai had said to himself-"If you doubt me to an irreversible level, I will never complain." ”

Her lips opened to say something, but she didn't make a sound.

Yue Bai said again: "As a courtier, the minister wants to see that there is no more war between Great Xia and Beiting, and the emperor can make every effort to make the people of Great Xia live and work in peace and contentment, and he can also do something he likes with himself; As me, I also want to see that there is no more war between Daxia and Beiting, and you can spare more time to gallop with me in the suburbs and enjoy the rain in the forest. ”

Galloping horses in the suburbs, enjoying the rain in the forest.

This is what they often do after they first knew each other's hearts.

"Your Majesty, Shu Qing." Yue Bai's voice was deep, "I beg you to think twice, don't destroy the peace and tranquility that is already at your fingertips because of your momentary ambitions, and the years will be calm." ”

Shu Qing.

He had never called her like that outside the bed.

Duan Shuqing hesitated for a moment, but it was only for a moment.

"I can take a step back." Duan Shuqing said, "As long as you put Xi Jinghui's head in front of me, I will no longer mention the attack on Beiting." ”

Eradicating Prince Xi also eliminates the possibility of Beiting and then summoning the old people of Xi and some of the Beiting Army to rise up in the name of "revenge for the prince".

Yue Bai looked at Duan Shuqing's eyes with clear and frank eyes, and he already understood that this was something that was difficult and impossible for a strong man to do.

Duan Shuqing smiled and said, "It's not too much to sacrifice a person who should have died a long time ago for the sake of the two countries, right?" ”

Yue Bai seemed to close his eyes with a dead heart, and when he opened them again, his voice was still calm: "This matter, the minister is not sure. ”

Duan Shuqing smiled: "Try your best, anyway, you don't have any better way to stop me." ”

Yue Bai didn't say anything, but Duan Shuqing knew that he had an expression of resignation. He had such times before, all of them said that they would listen to Duan Shuqing's wishes, but I don't know why this time, Duan Shuqing felt a little uneasy in his heart.

"I ordered someone to announce Yue Tang to see if she has any good way to take Prince Xi's head." Duan Shuqing said with a smile, "You brothers and sisters are both ministers of my family, and you will never ignore the prosperity of Great Xia because of any ridiculous personal feelings, let alone bully the king and disobey the yang, right?" ”

Yue Bai was speechless for a while, Duan Shuqing's chest was inexplicably blocked, and said, "You get up." ”

Yue Bai got up according to his words, and Duan Shuqing said: "I can understand Tang'er's ghostly mind, after all, she is young, and she has never experienced any men, and messing around with people in Fengyue Field is just a gangster, and it is normal to be deceived by that Prince Xi for a while, but what about you,"

She changed her tone and title, "Bai Lang, you will help me with whatever I want, have you forgotten?" ”

Yue Bai looked at her quietly: "The minister doesn't dare to forget." ”

Duan Shuqing didn't hear him "I won't forget, Shu Qing" like when the two of them snuggled up in the past, the blockage in his chest became even worse, and his voice was a little darker: "No matter what, you and General Guiying must remember your identity as Errao." ”

Yue Bai: "Yes." Remember. ”

Stuffy and stuffy, Duan Shuqing couldn't go on.

The eunuch outside the door reported loudly: "Your Excellency, General Guiying has arrived and is waiting outside." ”
