When Zhao Rong poured all the accusations in his stomach clean, Xiao Yuexi said calmly: "Second Brother Zhao, I didn't take my life as a child's play, I really need Guo Pengfei to send someone to fight the bandits with me." ”

"What?" Zhao Rong's eyes widened, as if he couldn't accept that the ice and snow smart Mrs. Xiao suddenly became a stupid child, with a complex expression on her face that was difficult to explain, she opened her mouth, but she couldn't make a move, as if she was frightened.

Xiao Yuexi smiled, although she was still calm, she made people feel an unfathomable taste. She said: "Second Brother Zhao, don't worry! I've been trying to clean up this group of moths who steal and trick up the emperor's food for a long time, and it's easy to seize the opportunity, how can I make a mistake? ”

“…… It's good if Madame has her own number. Zhao Rong looked at Xiao Yuexi carefully for a while, and made sure that she was indeed confident, and then withdrew his gaze suspiciously. Is there anything that the last general can do for him, Madame, as she commands. ”

Xiao Yuexi smiled so much that her eyebrows and eyes were crooked, but she didn't take his stubble, but said: "It's not too early, go back." ”

Early in the morning of the third day, the Fengshuang Xuetuo who was secretly dispatched by Xiao Yuexi sent a message saying that everything was ready.

At noon on the same day, Mrs. Xiao went to the Binzhou garrison camp to eat with her, and took the 5,000 "elite soldiers" raised by Guo Pengfei to review.

Xiao Yuexi didn't say much, but Zhao Rong on the side couldn't sit still. Most of the disaster relief funds allocated by the imperial court have been used to prepare medicinal materials, and although the patients in the epidemic center are in stable condition, they have limited food, and they can eat for children, and adults often do not have enough to eat.

In the morning, Zhao Rong watched Xiao Yuexi distribute his buns to the two children, and he only drank half a bowl of gruel, so he thought that everyone was going to live like this, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, fortunately, the weather is still warm at the moment, and it is not difficult. But the table in front of me was specially designed to entertain Mrs. Xiao's meal, and in a hurry, he effortlessly prepared such things, all of which were exquisite and delicious...... Zhao Rong didn't have any appetite at all, so he found an excuse to go out to breathe without eating a few bites - he was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would not be able to suppress his increasingly vigorous liver fire. It's okay to get angry, but if something breaks down, it's not easy to do.

Subsequently, Guo Pengfei finally came back to his senses, feeling that he was indeed a little ostentatious, and paid attention to Xiao Yuexi's every move with anxiety, but found that she had never expressed any opinion on this matter from beginning to end, but was very much enjoying the food in the camp.

After thinking about it for a while, Guo Pengfei felt that this lord, who should have been pampered in the palace, must not be willing to stay in this ghost place to eat chaff, right? No matter how extravagant she is, she is just a woman who is a little stronger than ordinary women.

That's a bit of a hassle......

He didn't want to transfer troops to Xiao Yuexi at first, but he also felt that it was too troublesome, if she was lucky enough to win, it would be better to say, once something happened, the fault would be on his head. He wanted to delay it until she found a way to send the letter back to Beijing. He thought that when he became an emperor, no matter how stupid and incompetent he was, he would not let a woman raise troops and lead people to suppress bandits, and it was best to send a more capable martial artist to command, and he would follow behind the achievements.

Who knows, the emperor is so stupid that he actually gave all the Yelan orders to others. I've heard that the faint monarch spoils the concubine excessively, but I haven't heard that it can be spoiled like this, it's just appalling!

This is good, he not only has to fully cooperate, but also to ensure that this ancestor must not have an accident, these three days, he picked people to provoke his brain, and he can't wait to stuff all the drills that have been slacking off for more than half a year into these three days, and the small soldiers under him are complaining, how can he be comfortable?

As a result, when he saw it today, his heart was even more bottomless......

Xiao Yuexi completely ignored General Guo's complex and changeable gaze, fed herself seven points full, and put down the dishes and chopsticks.

Guo Pengfei came back to his senses and said flatteringly: "Heh, Mrs. Xiao, is this meal unpalatable?" You, why don't you go in some more? Do you want to order someone to prepare some food? ”

Xiao Yuexi wiped the corners of her mouth leisurely and said indifferently: "No need." ”

Guo Pengfei couldn't figure out what she meant for a while, so he put down the dishes and chopsticks and looked at her anxiously. Seeing this, Xiao Yuexi thought that he had finished eating, and said slowly: "Those five thousand elite soldiers, how is General Guo prepared?" ”

Now as long as those people are mentioned, Guo Pengfei is very troubled, but it is not good to have a seizure in front of Xiao Yuexi, so he can only reply bitterly: "The people are ready, just wait for you to arrange it." ”

"Well, let's go." Xiao Yuexi said, got up and was about to leave.

"Huh?" Guo Pengfei looked dazed: "Go, where are you going?" ”

Xiao Yuexi glanced at him and said, "Didn't you let me arrange it?" ”

In this way, Mrs. Xiao and Deputy Commander Zhao, who had had lunch, stayed in the garrison camp for another two hours.

At the end, Mrs. Xiao took Deputy Commander Zhao out of the garrison camp refreshed, leaving Guo Senjun, who had a green face, to see them away.

At this point, Mrs. Xiao's entire plan has finally entered the right track, and the gears that are running together have finally been connected......

Mrs. Xiao's return to Beijing seems to be getting closer and closer, but in Beijing, there is a chaotic situation that can be imagined.

In the early dynasty, His Majesty the Emperor, who had been "unsafe in the dragon's body" for several days, finally recovered his body and appeared in the court, but as soon as he appeared, he had to face the words and swords of the courtiers.

Led by Yu Shitai, a group of sour Confucians all thought that the palace concubine went out of the palace in private to the people for the absurd act, completely ignoring the ancestral etiquette, such disloyalty, filial piety, unkindness and unrighteousness, the car was split in the world to set an example. A group of people quarreled for most of the hour, but His Majesty the Emperor on the high seat did not say a word.

Like him, Lu Zhiheng of the Taibao and Ling Shouyi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, also did not say a word. The former didn't need to open his mouth at all, his mouth was up and down the Yushi platform, and it was rare that the Ministry of Rites didn't say anything this time.

However, such an ambiguous attitude of the Ministry of Rites confirmed all kinds of rumors between Mrs. Xiao and Ling Zhengzhi from the side, and the people of the Imperial History Observatory naturally would not let go of this opportunity, and the Imperial Historian Chen Lian suddenly became difficult, looked at Ling Shouyi and asked: "Ling Shangshu, you should know better than us about etiquette, why didn't you say a word today?" ”

Ling Shouyi had been silent with his eyes down like an old monk before, and he didn't know, he thought that this god man was just standing and falling asleep. Hearing Chen Lian's question, he opened his eyes leisurely, and it was clear that he had listened to everything just now.

Ling Shouyi looked at Chen Lian, who was still chattering and impeaching Mrs. Xiao according to the scriptures, and said indifferently: "As a subordinate, I vainly discuss the discord between the emperor's concubines and concubines. Chen Lian was choked by him, and was about to speak again, but Ling Shangshu didn't give him this opportunity: "Your Yushitai is powerful and has long hands, when will it start, even the emperor's family affairs can be asked casually?" ”

Chen Lian: "...... This, how can this be considered a family matter? A dignified lady, every word and deed represents the royal face, in private Binzhou, mixed with a poor and undignified people all day long, what kind of system? It's ......."

Before the rebuttal of the stomach could be poured out, the person who sat on the high seat without saying a word suddenly chuckled, and in an instant, everyone who was arguing in the court was suddenly silenced and looked at Mu Yunqing.

Mu Yunqing maintained his slightly lazy posture, leaning on the armrest of the dragon chair with his left elbow, holding his head and looking at the chaos below with interest, seeing that everyone had finally turned their attention back, he said slowly: "Ling Aiqing's words reminded me, your Yushitai is in charge of the central hundred officials, I don't know which important member of the court is my Madame Xiao, it is worth you to abolish these spittle stars?" ”

There was silence all around, and Chen Lian was even more suffering.

Of course, he knew that Yu Shitai should not have come forward in this matter, but who asked Lu Taibao to leave the Ministry of Rites behind, so he had to let them take the first step. That Ling Shangshu has a neutral shelf on his face, but he also has to see where the wind is blowing, but as long as it can blow to the emperor, he will never help them say a good word.

Right! And the emperor! Since he succeeded to the throne for more than a year, he has never seen him have such a strong attitude, standing on Mrs. Xiao's side clearly, no matter what he takes, he can be moved back by him in two sentences, this person simply can't listen to anyone say that Xiao Yuexi is not good, no one can do it.

Why didn't you find out that he still had this talent? Is this still the dim-witted and mediocre Emperor His Majesty?

No one answered, Mu Yun said lightly: "Speaking of which, I also allowed Mrs. Xiao to leave the palace, because I was afraid of trouble, so I didn't tell you." Her trip is also to appease the people, and now that the major epidemics affecting the three continents have been controlled, what else do you have to say? ”

Chen Lian said in a panic: "But the emperor, the dignified palace concubine ......"

"Oh, speaking of which, I'd like to ask." Mu Yun swept around with a blank face, and said in a deep voice: "The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are not even capable of a small palace concubine, what about those who were arguing that the epidemic was insolvable and advocated burning the city?" Oh - it seems to be your Imperial Observatory too, right? ”

"This ...... We-Chen......"

Mu Yun sneered lightly, and slowly stood up from the dragon chair, but he walked outward, and before leaving, he just said indifferently: "Let's get here today, Mrs. Xiao's trip to appease the people's grievances, I should also think about what to reward her." The swaggering back was full of words, "I have been tired and listened to you arguing for so long, it is enough to give you face."

Returning to the Qingliang Palace, the cynicism and indifference on Mu Yun's light face all disappeared, and his eyes were heavy on the mountain of folds on the small case for a while, and he didn't know what he thought, his face was melancholy and complicated.
