When Jing Yan and Chu Peijin received the news from the Seventh Princess, it was already ten days later, and with it, there was the amazing news that hundreds of people on the border between Xishao and Dongling had attacked Dongfengyang in Dongling, burning and looting the people!

Upon learning of this news, Jing Yan quickly convened the ministers to discuss, and at the same time passed the news to Chu Peijin's hands.

Chu Peijin looked at the contents of the letter, and her eyebrows twisted into a lump!

It's so weird!

Not long after Dong Ling and Xi Shao signed an agreement, it should be peaceful, how could this kind of conflict occur?

Something is wrong, something is so wrong!

Chu Peijin once again read the news sent back by Xie Jiaqi from beginning to end, and the more she looked at it, the more strange she felt!

The eldest princess of Dongling was inconspicuous in the past, why did she suddenly become active after Dongling and Xishao married and formed an alliance?

It's just puzzling!

Chu Peijin thought for a long time and couldn't figure it out, so she simply called Nian Xue in.

"Do you have our manpower over there in Fengyang?"

Nian Xue and Nian Xia are now responsible for the safety of the entire Kunning Palace, and the peripheral affairs are all handed over to the Night Soul to be responsible for. When she saw the queen asking questions, she hurriedly asked people to summon the night soul in.

The night soul replied: "Back to Niangniang, there are our people over there in Fengyang, and besides, there happened to be news just now...... After speaking, he handed the folded letter to Chu Peijin.

Chu Peijin unfolded it and looked at it carefully, and her complexion changed!

Nian Xue and Night Soul glanced at each other and hurriedly asked, "Niangniang, what happened?" ”

Chu Peijin nodded, handed the letter to the night soul, and said, "You guys can also take a look, Dongling actually launched a surprise attack on Xifengyang under the pretext of being attacked last time...... Now the entire West Fengyang has fallen into the hands of the Dongling people......"

After reading it quickly, Night Soul's always calm face couldn't help but change!

"This, this ......"

Chu Peijin glanced at him and said, "Hurry up and show it to the emperor." ”

"Yes!"

The night soul hurriedly walked out of the palace gate, and Nian Xue said: "Niangniang, why do you say that Dongling is doing this?" ”

Chu Peijin shook his head and said, "It's hard to say!" If they were trying to make us relax and take advantage of the opportunity to sneak up on us through marriage, they had already succeeded! Ay! I'm afraid that Xiao Qi's situation in Dongling now must be very difficult, and maybe there will be danger......"

Nian Xue thought for a while and comforted: "Niangniang, didn't you secretly give the Seventh Princess a few people who need to be used?" The slave maid thought that they would definitely be able to protect the seventh princess when it was critical, and the mother didn't have to worry. ”

Chu Peijin sighed, can you not be worried?

When Jing Yan mentioned this matter to the Emperor Taishang, he told him that marriage was really not a good strategy, but the emperors of the two countries had already discussed it, and the Emperor Taishang was not sorry to regret it, so he had no choice but to let the seventh princess marry far away!

But who knew that she hadn't arrived in Dongling yet, so many things had happened in Dongling, but even the candidate for marriage was finally replaced by the inconspicuous fifth prince......

The fate of the seven princesses is unfortunate!

"By the way, do you know where King Rui has gone?"

The fifth child was sent to Dongling, and then waited for the seventh princess to be successfully sent to the fifth prince's mansion the next day before leaving for Xishao, and now I am afraid that he has already walked more than half of the journey, if he is allowed to turn back to Fengyang, I don't know if it will come......

Nian Xue thought for a while and said, "I heard Night Shadow say it once yesterday, and it was about past Ivory Mountain. ”

Chu Peijin remembered the topographic map of Xishao that he had seen with Jing Yan before, and thought that his itinerary was indeed very fast.

"That's it, wait for the emperor to go down to the court and invite him over."

Nian Xue nodded in response.

At this moment, Nianqiu hurriedly came in and said, "Niangniang, something happened!" ”

Chu Peijin was shocked, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong??" ”

……………………

At the gate of the Empress Dowager's palace, the Empress Dowager was directing the palace maids to prepare things with a tight face, and when she saw Chu Peijin hurrying over, she couldn't help but sigh and said, "The Empress Dowager is old, and her body and bones have not been good, and it is not easy to survive until now...... Go in and take a look at her! ”

"Yes, Queen Mother."

Chu Peijin was dressed in plain clothes and accompanied by Nian Xue into the hall, and a smell of medicine and a strong sandalwood fragrance went straight to her nose, so she couldn't help but rub her nose.

"Open the window to diffuse the smell!"

The queen mother commanded, and the little palace maids in the hall with a sad face hurriedly ran over to open the windows on all sides, and knelt there again and continued to cry silently!

Chu Peijin walked inside silently, and saw that the Empress Dowager's personal mother was wiping her tears while changing the Empress Dowager's clothes, and she couldn't help but redden.

Chu Peijin was not impressed by the empress dowager, but since she became the queen, she often came to talk to her, but at that time she was already sometimes sober and sometimes confused!

Even if the companionship is not long, Chu Peijin still feels sour!

When her grandmother died, she cried for three days and three nights, and it took a long time to slowly accept the fact that her grandmother was gone!

"When is the Empress Dowager...... Big line? ”

The old lady replied with red eyes: "If you go back to the queen's mother, the queen mother couldn't eat yesterday, and she barely drank ginseng soup this morning, saying that she wanted to sleep for a while...... Damn the old slave! The old slave didn't expect that the Empress Dowager had just woken up, how could she be sleepy so soon? Outcome...... The old slave is just a kung fu to turn around, and the empress dowager is ...... old man."

The old lady said, and couldn't help crying again!

She followed the Queen Mother when she was a child, and the relationship between the two is very incomparable!

At this time, the old mama is really sad and more uncomfortable than the old lady who died!

Chu Peijin's heart was also very uncomfortable, she knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the Queen Mother three times, and then got up to comfort the old lady.

"The Empress Dowager is dying at the end of her life, and it is a sign of profound blessings, don't be too sad! You see, the Empress Dowager's expression looks very peaceful, so she walks very peacefully......"

The old lady hurriedly wiped a handful of tears and said, "No, that's what the mother said, but the old slave is reluctant to let the queen mother ......"

After Jing Yan learned the news, he hurried over to see the Empress Dowager for the last time.

After that, according to the rules, the spirit should be guarded, and then the day should be arranged to be buried in the imperial tomb...... Chu Peijin had never done any of these things, and she had to run to the Queen Mother every day.

After the Emperor Taishang knew that the Empress Dowager was on a big trip, he also fell ill for some reason, and Chu Peijin was busy arranging for the Empress Dowager to see a doctor, and he had to take care of the Empress Dowager's side, so he was so busy.

In this way, she forgot about Dongling's affairs in the back of her mind!

When Jing Yan came over and told her that she had sent troops to Fengyang, more than half a month had passed!

"Daughter-in-law, you've worked hard these days!" Looking at Chu Peijin's obviously slimmed body, Jing Yan's eyes were full of distress.

Chu Peijin glanced at him and said, "We are a family, what do you say is hard or not?" By the way, is there any news from Xiao Qi? How is she now? Okay? ”

Jing Yan's eyes condensed slightly, shook his head, and said, "There is news over there, saying that Xiao Qi is missing!" ”

Chu Peijin's eyes widened in surprise: "Missing? How so? When did this happen? ”

Jing Yan said: "It was said that at the beginning of the month, she disappeared with Luo Zhe!" ”

Chu Peijin suddenly had a not-so-good premonition!
