In the past few days, Mu Xuanche has been waiting for Nangong Jinchen's reply, but what he is waiting for is a news that makes him angry.

"Your Majesty, it's not good......" One of the guards rushed in in a hurry.

Mu Xuanche couldn't help but be shocked, "What's the alarm?" ”

The guard gasped a few times and said, "Your Majesty, Yanguo...... Under the banner of eliminating violence for the people, the Yan Kingdom raided Qinghe County, and the guards of Qinghe County had no time to defend themselves, and now they have lost their ......"

Mu Xuanche stood up suddenly, his eyes widening angrily, "What did you say?" Raid on the Flame Country? Qinghe lost? ”

The guard nodded with difficulty.

Mu Xuanche was so angry that he suddenly flicked his robe.

"Ahh

"How could Qinghe be lost? What about the generals who defended the city? What about the county guard? ”

The guards got up and knelt down, trembling and reported: "Back to Your Majesty, General An's troops are insufficient and have been wiped out, and the county guard gave up Qinghe to Yanguo in order to save his life." ”

Mu Xuanche was even more angry: "Waste! It's all rubbish! ”

He clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said, "How is Nanling?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, Nanling City has received news that General Lin has rushed to the Yanchu border with 10,000 soldiers in his hands, but it is just ......"

However, the Tiger Talisman of the Three Armies is in the hands of the emperor, so even if Lin Jie leads his troops over now, he may not be able to resist it.

"Ye Xun!" Mu Xuanche slammed his fist on the table, Yan Guo has always been weak, so he never put it in his eyes, but he didn't expect that he would dare to raid Yun Guo now, and sure enough, his wings were stiff.

He asked again: "What is the reason for the Yan Kingdom to send troops?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, Yan Guo said Your Majesty...... Said Your Majesty...... "The guards really didn't dare to say it."

Mu Xuanche smiled coldly: "Say that I am cruel and unkind, and I have harmed countless people? ”

The guard hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty forgives your sins, Your Majesty forgives your sins." ”

Mu Xuanche's chest rose and fell more and more violently, "Get out!" ”

The guard was stunned for a moment, and then immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said: "Yes, the subordinates retired." ”

"Wait." Mu Xuanche stopped him again, "Pass on Han Yan." ”

"Yes."

A quarter of an hour later.

"Your Majesty, Han Shizi has arrived."

Han Yan walked in and saluted, "Your Majesty." ”

"Have you heard about the Yan Kingdom's raid on Qinghe?" Mu Xuanche asked directly.

Han Yan nodded solemnly, "Fang Caichen has received the news and is thinking of coming over to discuss this matter with His Majesty." ”

Mu Xuanche's expression was solemn, and he said, "Do you think this matter can be related to Yunguo?" ”

"Cloud Country?" Han Yan was taken aback for a moment and said, "Your Majesty means that it is the alliance between the Cloud Emperor and the Yan Emperor?" ”

Mu Xuanche pursed his lips and nodded slightly.

Han Yan frowned and said, "Your Majesty, the Yan Kingdom and the Yun Kingdom are not on good terms, how could they suddenly ally ally with the Yun Kingdom?" ”

"But doesn't Shizi think it's too much of a coincidence?"

When he caught Mu Ranyue, he showed Nangong Jinchen that he wanted to completely tear his face with Yunguo, because he was also accurate, even if Nangong Jinchen really sent troops, he was absolutely sure of winning.

However, who would have thought that Yan Guo suddenly gave Chu Guo a blow in the back?

What's more, Yan Guo has never taken the initiative to provoke for so many years, and now he suddenly attacked, isn't it because he already knew that Yun Chu might go to war?

It's just that he really can't figure it out, between Yun and Chu, why did Ye Xun choose to help Yun Guo? Although the three kingdoms are not aligned with each other, Yan Chu at least has a friendship of marriage.

If it was only because of his reputation, then he would never believe it.

Han Yan thought for a moment and said in astonishment: "Could it be that Yun Yan has already formed an alliance?" ”

Mu Xuanche sneered, "Then do you still need to ask?" ”

It's just that he really doesn't know why and when Yun Yan formed an alliance, but none of this matters now.

He took a few deep breaths, eased his mind, and said, "Han Yan, you quickly take 50,000 elite soldiers to Yincheng." ”

"But Your Majesty, then ...... here," Han Yan said worriedly.

"Don't worry, I'll guard it myself." Mu Xuanche said coldly.

What's more, Mu Ranyue is still in his hands, Nangong Jinchen will never dare to act rashly.

"Yes, Weichen takes the order."

It was night, the moonlight was sultry, Mu Ranyue sat on the stone bench in the courtyard, looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and her heart turned a thousand times.

"Your Highness, the night is dark, be careful of catching a cold." Laneige walked up behind her and draped the cloak over her.

Mu Ranyue smiled slightly, in fact, she stayed here every day, in addition to not being free, Mu Xuanche never treated her badly.

"I can't sleep in this palace, why don't you sleep so late?" She asked.

Laneige replied: "The slave maid saw that His Highness was still in the courtyard, so she came over to have a look. Your Highness, do you have something on your mind? ”

She smiled, "Would you like to talk to Hongu?" ”

Laneige nodded a little confusedly.

Mu Ranyue pointed to the stone bench beside her, "Sit down." ”

"Your Highness."

Laneige carefully sat down on the stone bench, his body a little tense.

Mu Ranyue said: "Is Ju Fang already asleep?" ”

Laneige nodded, "Jufang is not feeling well today, so she went to bed early." ”

"Not feeling well? But the wind was cold. ”

Laneige shook his head, "No, Jufang is here to Kwai Shui." ”

Mu Ranyue bowed slightly, picked up the teapot and cup on the table, and naturally mixed her with a cup of tea.

Lanzhi was flattered and got up and said, "Your Highness, how can this kind of thing bother you......"

"It's okay, sit down. In front of me, don't be so inhibited. Mu Ranyue shook her head helplessly.

"Yes, thank you, Your Highness."

Mu Ranyue took a sip of tea and said with some doubts: "Speaking of which, I am just a prisoner of His Majesty now, why do you have to be so respectful to me?" ”

Lanzhi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty let the slaves and maids serve you well, you are the master of the slaves and maids, and the slaves and maids naturally cannot be presumptuous." ”

Mu Ranyue was a little stunned, and asked again, "How old are you and Ju Fang this year?" ”

"Back to Your Highness, the slave is eighteen, and Jufang is nineteen."

"When did you enter the palace?"

"The slaves and maids were originally serving Your Majesty in the Haowang Mansion, and after Your Majesty ascended the throne, they entered the palace with Your Majesty."

Mu Ranyue nodded, and the one who has been following Mu Xuanche will never be as simple as it seems on the face.

"For so many days, haven't you wondered why this palace is here?"

Laneige smiled: "The slave maid has been with His Majesty for many years and knows what to ask and what not to ask. Many times, the more you know, the faster you die. ”

Mu Ranyue said: "No wonder it's the people around Your Majesty, they are really smart." ”

"Your Highness has praised it."

Mu Ranyue hooked her lips, and said after a while: "You just said that Your Majesty asked you to serve me, and I am your master, are you sincere?" ”

Laneige nodded and said, "The words of the slave are from the heart. ”

"But one servant does not serve the two masters, if you really recognize the lord of this palace, then where will your majesty be placed?"

Mu Ranyue's eyes burned, Lanzhi's heart jumped, if she talked about the master, of course she only had Mu Xuanche as a real master.

In the blink of her eyes, she spoke: "The slave and maid are now serving His Highness, and His Royal Highness is the master of the slave and maid, and when His Highness is gone in the future, the master of the slave and the maid will naturally be Your Majesty." ”

"Didn't you want to follow me all the time?" Mu Ranyue said bluntly.

Lanzhi was a little flustered for a while, and said, "Your Highness is really tormenting the slaves. ”

Mu Ranyue sighed lightly and said quietly: "I used to have a personal maid, she treated me both lovingly and loyally, and I also liked her very much, but a few days ago I ......"

She paused, and her words were full of sadness: "Your Majesty sent someone to assassinate me and Emperor Yun, and she blocked a sword for me. ”

Laneige was shocked in his heart: "Your Highness ......"

Mu Ranyue smiled bitterly: "In that assassination, I lost a loyal maid, and later, I was forced to the edge of the cliff and fell off the cliff, and lost the child in my belly, who knew that Mu Xuanche actually led people to wait under the cliff." ”

Lanzhi was slightly stunned, although she knew that Mu Xuanche had used improper means to bring Mu Ranyue here, she didn't expect it to be so cruel. Mu Ranyue is also his own sister whose blood is thicker than water, and he can even do it.

Mu Ranyue looked at her expression and said, "Don't be afraid, I just want to say what is in my heart, just listen to it." What's more, you have been following Mu Xuanche for a lot of time, so you should know very well what kind of person he is. ”

Lanzhi's heart jumped, Mu Xuanche was ruthless, she naturally knew, but why did Mu Ranyue say this? Is it to win her over?

"Laneige, you have been in the palace for so long, have you gone back to see your parents?" Mu Ranyue suddenly changed the topic again.

Lanzhi was stunned, and then said with a wry smile: "The slave has always been alone, and she has no parents for a long time. ”

"Have you seen them?"

Laneige shook his head, "No. For parents, the slave's mind has always been blank. ”

Mu Ranyue said: "Then have you thought about them for so many years?" ”

Laneige nodded: "Naturally, I have thought about it." But no matter how much they thought about it, they would not appear in the slave's dream. ”

Mu Ranyue pursed her lips and said, "Then how have you been following Your Majesty all these years?" ”

Lanzhi paused and said, "It is a blessing for slaves and maids to be able to serve Your Majesty." ”

However, from her tone, Mu Ranyue heard the melancholy in it, and said, "Is it a blessing?" Maybe for many people, it is indeed a blessing, but accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, and by the emperor's side, he must be trembling all day long, right? ”

She could see that Lanzhi and Ju Fang must not be doing very well in Mu Xuanche, otherwise how could they be so careful?

Laneige was stunned and laughed at himself: "Your Highness is really smart, you can see everything." ”

Mu Ranyue shook her head: "It's not that Bengong is smart, it's just that your thoughts are written on your face, how can Bengong not know?" ”

She drank a cup of tea and said, "Laneige, in fact, these days of being imprisoned, this palace is really thanks to you, so it won't be so difficult." To be honest, Hongu really wants to get out of this cage quickly. ”

She let out a long sigh, but heard Laneige whisper, "Why don't I want to?" ”

She pretended not to hear clearly, and wondered, "What did you say?" ”
