Chapter 405: House arrest in disguise

The emperor looked at the battle report sent from the border, and the look on his face was unpredictable. After cutting off the head of the second prince, the Qi army died down for a while, but Li Shang quickly returned to power, launching small-scale attacks on the Zhao army from time to time, Xiao Rin didn't care about this, and now the Qi army's vitality was greatly damaged, and it couldn't become a big climate.

But the neighboring Yi people are very lively. The Yi people are located on the northwest border of the Zhao State, where there are wind and sand all the year round, and the natural conditions are very harsh, so the Yi people will raid the border of the Zhao State or the Qi State every few years to plunder the grain.

Seeing that the Zhao army and the Qi army were fighting, the Yi tribe finally couldn't bear to attack the Qi army and the Zhao army. Zhao Jun's side is okay, it is not a problem to have Xiao Rin in charge, the Yi people did not get a penny in Xiao Rin's hands, but the Qi army is weak at this time, and the Yi people's attack on them is more fierce, Li Shang has been struggling to support, and it is very laborious.

Seeing this, the general of the Yi tribe became proud, and actually launched a large-scale attack directly on the Qi army, wanting to annex the remaining Qi army in one fell swoop. After thinking about it carefully, Xiao Rin sent troops to reinforce Li Shang.

"The general's move is inevitably a little inappropriate, and the emperor did not order an attack on the Yi tribe." The general looked worried.

"The Qi army is no longer a threat to us, but the Yi soldiers are strong and strong, if they wait for them to annex the Qi army, we are their next target, rather than this, it is better to strike first and directly hit the Yi tribe hard, besides, they have not attacked our borders over the years, and it is time to knock and knock them." Xiao Rin said in a deep voice.

After some deliberation, the generals agreed with Xiao Rin's decision. So Xiao Rin began to arrange the troops.

Three days later, the Yi people launched another attack on the Qi army, and when the Qi army was in dire straits, the Zhao army suddenly joined the battlefield, and the Yi people returned defeated.

Since then, the Zhao army and the Qi army have tacitly ceased fighting, and although the Yi tribe launched several rounds of attacks one after another, they were all blocked by Xiao Rin.

Xiao Rin told the emperor the truth about these situations in the battle report, and suggested sending troops to suppress the Yi tribe.

"What a Xiao Rin, has he already started to worry about what the emperor should be worried about?" There was a little anger in the emperor's eyes, and even a little panic.

"Someone! The young lady of General Xuan's Mansion went to the palace to live in order to accompany the queen. The emperor looked coldly at the battle report in his hand and said in a low voice.

Jing Ning's face turned cold after receiving the holy decree, and she stood in the hall and looked coldly at her father-in-law who announced the decree.

"Father-in-law first, Jing Ning will arrive later." Jing Ning took a deep breath, barely suppressed the anger in her heart, and only after sending her father-in-law away did she let go of the hand she had been holding tightly.

"The emperor is inevitably too much, where is this small residence, it is clearly to put his sister-in-law under house arrest!" Xiao Yuan pursed her lips, and the look on her face was very angry.

Father Xiao glanced at Xiao Kite, although there was a bit of warning in his eyes, his face was not very good, he walked up to Jing Ning and said in a deep voice: "You stay in the mansion, and I will enter the palace immediately." ”

Jing Ning was a little moved in her heart, she knew that Father Xiao had always been very loyal to the emperor and would hardly disobey any of the emperor's wills, but in order to protect herself during this time, she had mediated several times with the emperor, and this time she wanted to enter the palace to face the saint, obviously because she didn't want to fall into a dangerous situation.

"Dad, don't worry about this, the emperor won't do anything to me." Jing Ning said with relief.

How much can he guess how much the emperor thinks, now Xiao Rin has been rewarded again and again, the prestige of the General's Mansion has reached a height that can be compared with the imperial power, if the General's Mansion is willing, it can be replaced and changed from Zhao to Xiao. It was precisely because the emperor was afraid that such a thing would happen, so he would want to threaten the General's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion in such a way, so that he would have a few more chips in his hands.

Especially Wanxi has died tragically, and the emperor does not have any eyes and ears in the General's Mansion, which makes him so anxious to control the General's Mansion and control Xiao Rin's weakness.

But Jing Ning can be sure that even if he is placed under house arrest in the palace, there will be no danger, after all, Xiao Rin holds military power at this time, if the emperor dares to hurt her, Xiao Rin will definitely not stand idly by, and I am afraid that the emperor will not be able to bear the consequences, so Jing Ning is only angry in his heart, but he is not worried about himself at all.

"Silly boy, I'm afraid that in case, the palace is not as good as the General's Mansion, if something happens to you, what can you do?" Xiao's mother turned red as she spoke, Xiao Yuan hurriedly ran to Xiao's mother when she saw this, and Jing Ning also comforted her softly.

Jing Ning explained the truth one by one, and Xiao's mother stopped crying, but she still didn't want Jing Ning to go. Jing Ning sighed and said: "If I don't go at this time, I'm afraid the emperor will be suspicious, if he does something directly to the General's Mansion, it will not be good, Daddy and Auntie, you can rest assured, Ning'er will be safe." ”

Jing Ning showed a relieved smile to Xiao's father and Xiao's mother, and reached out and pinched Xiao Kite's cheek. Xiao's father and Xiao's mother saw that Jing Ning had made up her mind, so they didn't stop it, but just sighed all the time.

What Jing Ning said is not unreasonable, if he can't give the emperor a reassurance pill at this time, I'm afraid that the emperor is not calm, and he will really do something to the general's mansion. She didn't want that to happen, Xiao Rin was no longer at this time, as his wife, she had the responsibility to help him protect the General's Mansion and their common home.

Jing Ning simply cleaned up and walked out of the General's Mansion, Xiao Yuan pulled Jing Ning's sleeve with red eyes.

"Sister-in-law, don't go, the women in the palace are not easy to get along with."

Jing Ning couldn't help but laugh out loud, she gently scratched Xiao Kite's nose, and said softly: "It's not that I won't be able to see you in the future, don't cry, I'll be back in a few days, you have to take good care of Daddy and Auntie, you know?" ”

Xiao Yuan sobbed and nodded, showing a smile to Jing Ning. Seeing this, Jing Ning calmed down slightly, and instructed Xiao Yuan a few more words, and then got into the carriage.

Half an hour later, Jing Ning stood in the main hall, and the emperor and empress sat upright in the hall.

"Jingning, the queen has been praying for the soldiers on the border every day these days, and it is very hard, I want you to enter the palace to accompany the queen, so you can relax and live in the palace, if there is anything missing, you will talk to the internal affairs office." The smile on the emperor's face was very kind, and Jing Ning also smiled and thanked her, but she kept sneering in her heart.

"Then I'll leave it to the Queen." The emperor glanced at the queen, and the queen nodded with a smile, looking at Jing Ning with a deep meaning in her eyes. Jing Ning's heart jumped, and he had a faint sense of foreboding.

Jing Ning's residence was very close to the queen's bedroom, only separated by a few winding paths, thinking that it was for the convenience of surveillance, Jing Ning was bored and watched Wen Xing busy packing his luggage, and unconsciously began to miss Xiao Rin.
