The weather cooled down sharply, and in a blink of an eye, the first snow of winter ushered in, which made the people of the entire Qinglong City fearful, lest the Nankang army attack after the river froze.

Zhu Yu was extremely disappointed in Hou Xun, and he did not go to court for many days, and almost all the loyal ministers and virtuous people beside him were driven out of the government and the opposition by Mr. Li.

The emperor was convinced of Mr. Li, and at this juncture, he pinned all his hopes on Huo Jiajun and Mr. Li.

On this day, Shi Rong Ghost entered the Liuli Palace in a hurry, and said to Xia Qian with anxiety: "Sister, do you remember Nanyuan?" It was originally a place where the exiled people of Nankang lived in peace, but yesterday it was set on fire by the people of the pro-military camp, and all those people were taken to prison, saying that it was used to force Nankang to withdraw from the army. ”

"How can these routs and desperate invade the country of Yi, how can they withdraw their troops for the sake of these people? Who came up with such stupid attention? Xia Qian asked angrily.

"Mr. Lai! He is a master, and he said that the emperor of gold in the sky will also believe it! ”

This Mr. Li's style and purpose are becoming more and more obvious, and Xia Qian feels more and more that the other party has bad intentions, and even wants to overturn the country of Yi.

Could it be that he cares for himself because he knows who he is?

Do you know that they share the same purpose or mission?

So, who is this person?

Isn't it a native of Yiguo?

Xia Qian pondered for a long time, but still couldn't guess the identity of the other party.

"No matter who he is, it's always wrong to affect the lives of so many people in the Yi country!" Xia Qian said to herself.

Shi Rong blinked at her with a pair of dark eyes and looked at her in confusion, and asked blankly, "Sister, what are you talking about?" What's who's who? ”

"It's nothing, don't run around today, if you can't enter the palace in time, discuss it with Kuo Tianchen. He is older than you, has more experience than you, and sees things clearly and long-term than you. ”

Shi Rong pouted, turned around and walked out of the Liuli Palace.

Within a few days, the Xuyu River began to freeze, although it was only a layer less than a finger thick, but the wide river surface looked like a glacier from a distance, which made the people of Qinglong City tremble.

Everyone looked at the other side of the river, tremblingly imagining the appearance of the rout of Nankang's army.

was slaughtered by Simon in three cities, and everyone thought that after these defeated troops came over, they would also slaughter Qinglong City.

The Huo family army did have 100,000 troops to rush to the rescue, but as soon as they returned to Huaxi City, they were infected with the plague, and the epidemic broke out rapidly, and they had already fallen as soon as they entered the Yi country.

In order not to spread the epidemic to more people, these reinforcements had to recuperate on the road.

Zhu Yu sent several imperial doctors to rush to see the patient day and night, and at the same time chased after Mr. Li and asked him how to resolve the crisis.

On the Zichen Palace, Mr. Li took out a book from his sleeve and presented it to the emperor, and the emperor's face immediately gloomy after seeing it, and the courtiers couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when they saw this scene.

-- In the past, whenever this scene occurred, there must have been a disaster for the officials of the DPRK and China, and they nervously speculated about the stumbling block that Mr. Li would remove this time...... Could it be themselves.

Zhu Yu took the fold, his face was dark, his hands trembled, and finally he crumpled the fold into a ball and left with his sleeves.

The court was frightened, and Mr. Li looked at the back of the emperor leaving, and a smile was hooked on the corner of his lips.

In the past few days, the court has been discussing the case of rebellion in the Qingtian Palace, although the emperor has no intention of re-investigating this matter, but the doubts in the case have been paid one by one, and Zhu Yu has to order a re-investigation.

The Nankang rout army is eyeing Qinglong City, and now they have divided their manpower to investigate this matter

It was Zhu Yu, and even the military officials in the court were very puzzled.

Even, these people are not only puzzled, but also extremely angry.

When Xia Qian heard the news, she looked at Xiao Yue on the bed and pondered for a long time, then got up and went to Mr. Li's palace.

Looking at the emaciated man in front of him with a sickly face, Xia Qian paused for a moment and asked, "I heard that it was Mr. 's idea to re-investigate the rebellion of the Qingtian King's Mansion?" ”

"What, the crown princess thinks it's not okay?"

"Of course not, I also want to believe that this is an unjust case, but now that the country of Yi is in trouble, what if the Nankang army breaks in, what will happen to so many people in Qinglong City? Is it imperative to re-examine this matter more than the lives of these ordinary people? She asked angrily.

Mr. Li chuckled and asked rhetorically, "Then when do you think it is more appropriate to check?" ”

"Of course, after the Nankang rout retreats and the overall situation is stable?" Xia Qian looked at Mr. Li for a moment, and when he looked at Mr. Li again, the expression on his face became excited: "You proposed to re-investigate this case at this time, and it is clear that you want to draw everyone's minds from resisting foreign enemies to the chaos in the court, and the purpose is to cooperate with Nankang to defeat and attack the Yi State." You're not from Yi at all, you're from Simon, are you? ”

"Don't speculate, otherwise no one will be able to protect you from the current situation?"

Xia Qian was speechless for a while, and when she saw Xiao Qinshui lying in the cradle playing, she couldn't help but walk up and pick up a rattle to play with the child.

"This child is very important to me, please give it back to me!" She turned her head and looked at Mr. Li and said seriously.

He met her clear eyes and replied calmly: "It's just as important to me!" ”

Xia Qian looked at him in surprise, and was about to ask again, when Mr. Li got up and left.

Every time she came in, Mr. Li's wife would find an excuse to take the palace maids to the courtyard to play, leaving Xiao Qinshui for Xia Qian, and when he left, Xia Qian was the only one left in the vast palace.

She looked around blankly, holding Xiao Qinshui in her arms and looking distressed.

When I turned around, I found that Mr. Li had returned again, standing at the door and watching him silently.

"I will take care of this child, don't worry!" After a long time, he said seriously.

For the first time, she saw tenderness on his face, the face was unfamiliar, but this kind of gentle affection, Xia Qian suddenly felt that she had seen it before.

Mr. Li's wife and a few palace maids walked in, Xia Qian had a bunch of questions that were not good to ask again, hugged Xiao Qinshui for a while, and turned around and went back to Liuli Palace.

The real Nankang defeated the army of 30,000 or 40,000 at most, but now the enemy soldiers who have infiltrated the Yi country have reached 70,000, and the number is still increasing.

"Seventy thousand? And where are the rest of the 40,000? Xia Qian asked Yu Nuan in surprise.

"It should be Simon's people, after Que Ming went back, the captured Nankang Kingdom was taken over by his third emperor, Yue Chu. This person is both civil and military, full of resourcefulness, presumably in order to attack the Yi State, deliberately let go of tens of thousands of Nankang soldiers, so that their Simon's army can sneak into the Yi State. ”

Xia Qian looked at him for a moment, and hurriedly pulled Yu Nuan's finger and asked, "So, Que Ming was wronged?" It's Yue Chu who slaughters the three cities in a row, right? ”

"I think so too, but now there is no evidence. There are many princes of Simon, and there are many Chinese Taowu strategists, and this matter is not as simple as Yu Chu alone. But don't worry, Que Ming can do so much business under the noses of his brothers, and he will never be so easily defeated. ”

Xia Qian's fingers couldn't help but clench a little, and she said to herself: "I hope he can be safe more than anyone else!" The battle for the throne is extremely dangerous, although he doesn't want to, but things have developed like this, I'm afraid he can't help it for a long time. Simon was able to send 40,000 people to infiltrate the Yi Kingdom, and I am afraid that it would be a matter of time before he attacked Qinglong City. ”
