In the past few years, Su Ranqing's love has completely changed, who would have thought that the eldest lady who didn't touch the spring water with her fingers back then would be able to make a table of meals in person today, sewing and mending, feeding chickens and ducks, not to mention feeding chickens and ducks.

At noon, after the merchant who went out to work came back, the two families of five gathered at the small table in the courtyard to eat together, and from time to time there were neighbors with children to play with Qiao'er, they couldn't imagine that Qiao'er's aunt and aunt were the current queen mother and the emperor, and what kind of identity they saw that the ordinary couple had that shocked them.

It's just that before the lunch was finished, a figure quietly flashed into the courtyard, stood in front of Ximen Hao, and arched his hand, "Your Majesty,"

This person is not from the palace, but Ximen Hao's secret subordinate outside the palace, he is in such a hurry to appear, there must be something very important,

"What's the matter," asked Ximenhao,

"Your Majesty, I received news from Southern Xinjiang that the newborn son of the King of the West was taken captive by the people of Yuehua Kingdom," the person replied,

Su Ranhua's hand holding Qiao'er stiffened, and he looked sideways at the visitor,

As soon as Simon Zhedezi's recital was received, such news came back from the dark line, it seems that there are no days between the birth of a child and the captivity, and the child is not yet a full moon.

Dezi is just general news, so the dark subordinates who are familiar with the severity will not waste online resources to deliver this news, but captivity is a very serious matter, and,,

The secret subordinate continued, "According to reliable information, the emperor of the Yuehua Kingdom has contacted the three neighboring subject countries and decided to attack our dynasty again, this time he took the little prince and said that if General Ximen personally commanded the battle again, he would put the little prince's body in the gatehouse of the camp where the two armies clashed,"

"Smack," Ximen Hao slapped his palm on the table,

Yuehua Kingdom, he had long wanted to destroy it, but after the defeat of the first two Yuehua Kingdoms, he made compensation according to the rules, like surrender, and looked soft, so that the Qingyuan Dynasty could not find a reason to meet the situation, in order to appease the surrounding small countries, Ximen Zhe suggested not to take the lead in attacking, and to hold the frontier tightly, so as to wait for its change, which was recognized by the ministers,

It was this despicable means that waited for the change, waited for Uto's third war, and colluded with other countries, and came up with such a despicable means as kidnapping Ximenzhe's newborn son in a vain attempt to contain Ximenzhe.

"I'll go back to the palace first," Ximen Hao got up and said,

"Forget it, I'll go back too," Su Ranhua stood up and handed Qiao'er to Su Ranqing,

"Your Majesty, no matter what, you must first keep the little prince safe," Su Ran said with Qiao'er in her arms, people who have children can better understand the heart of being a parent, and they can better understand the pain of Su Ran's painting on the day.

At the beginning, she married into Nanwangfu and never got pregnant, Su Ranqing thought it was because of her own body, until she married her current husband, and soon became pregnant with Qiao'er, Su Ranqing understood that if Ximen Yi's body did not have any problems, then it must be Ximen Yi who did something for her, at that time, it was just her wishful thinking infatuated with Ximen Yi, but Ximen Yi was just borrowing her as a person, and she refused to give her even a child.

Back in the palace, Ximen Hao began to prepare for the war, began to send a large amount of grain and grass to southern Xinjiang, and quickly reorganized an army ready to go.

The southern Xinjiang has not yet reached the capital, and the ministers do not know what is about to happen, but they are already familiar with this emperor with the ability of "unpredictable prophet", except for cooperation, there is no objection.

A few days later, the 800-mile fast horse and urgent letter from southern Xinjiang were sent back to the capital, and at this time, Ximen Hao had already been forced by Ximen Zhe to step down as commander and retreat from the city because of the safety of his son.

When Ximen Hao told the ministers the news, the ministers accused Ximen Zhe of abandoning the safety of the country.

Ximen Hao listened to the accusations of the ministers against Ximen Zhe, and said in a deep voice, "Could it be that only the King of the West can be the commander in my Qingyuan Dynasty, and without the King of the West, he will definitely be defeated,"

"It's just that for so many years, the king of the west has stayed in southern Xinjiang, and he suddenly wants to find a new commander, and he really doesn't know who to choose for a while," Prime Minister Li Chengyi,

"If the emperor needs it, Weichen can lead his troops to southern Xinjiang in person," General Mo of the Ministry of War said, he was originally born with soldiers, brave and good at fighting, although he is in Shangshu, but he still likes to be called a general.

"Could it be that the king of the west really gave up leading the soldiers of southern Xinjiang for the sake of the little prince," there are still people who don't give up,

"There's no need to discuss, I have decided to go on a personal expedition," Ximen Hao interrupted His Highness's discussions, and said in a loud voice,

Listening to the discussion of the ministers, he deeply realized the weight of Ximen Zhe in their hearts, it seems that the safety of the Qingyuan Dynasty is tied to him, he has been in southern Xinjiang for so many years, and has established a mighty guardian image, which is beneficial to the cohesion of their Ximen family in the imperial court, but it has seriously endangered his throne.

Perhaps, Ximen Zhe chose to be soft in order to temporarily stabilize Uto, but for Ximen Hao, there is an opportunity to show the other side of him as an emperor, and there is an absolute reason to personally lead the troops.

"Your Majesty, by all means," sure enough, someone objected,

"The King of the West has worked hard for the country for so many years, this time it is his son who has something to do, and he is also my nephew, the royal blood is thin now, even if the King of the West does not care about the safety of his nephew, I will not condone it," Ximen Hao's words not only expressed brotherhood, but also conveyed his pride as a king,

"The emperor is in charge, who presides over the government," Li Chengyi asked,

Ximen Hao glanced at the several important ministers standing in front of him, and said a person who no one expected,

"I decided to ask the Empress Dowager to share my worries,"

The ministers were stunned and puzzled, after all, the Empress Dowager had lived in Chumin Palace for many years, and she no longer paid attention to court affairs since the first emperor was in power.

"I have made up my mind, and in three days, Fengtai will point out and go on the expedition," Ximen Hao said,

"Hao, do you have to go out in person," in Jinhua Garden, Su Ranhua couldn't wait to ask, for so many years, she has been used to the days of Ximen Hao by her side, and she is very reluctant, not to mention that this is going to the battlefield again, and there are many dangers.

"Why, don't believe in my ability," Ximen Hao hugged Su Ranhua and asked with a smile,

"No, I just can't bear you," Su Ran painted a murmur in Ximen Hao's arms,

"As long as I personally lead the troops to win this battle this time, Ximen Zhe should be completely dead in front of me," Ximen Hao said,

"He's already backed down for his son, do you think he hasn't let it go," Su Ran asked.

"He can accept his son, it doesn't mean that he has a vacant place for you in his heart, this year, he has been deliberately avoiding returning to Beijing, not giving me the opportunity to see him in person, I will take this opportunity to go directly to southern Xinjiang to meet him," Ximen Hao said,
