Lin Yanran naturally knew that Shi Miaoyu and his wife had placed someone here to protect her, but she was not worried about herself, but now that she saw Shi Miaoyu coming back, she was worried about whether something would happen to her in the hunting ground.

Seeing Lin Yanran's worries, Shi Miaoyu not only blindly concealed it, but simply said everything she could say, and said at the end: "Although there is an accident in the hunting ground, it is a fight between the two princes, and it has nothing to do with us, so mother doesn't have to worry." ”

There are some things, she just said, Lin Yanran is only worried, rather than this, it is better to hide it from her directly.

Although Lin Yanran is in the capital, she is not closed, and she knows some things, but she doesn't know in detail. Now that she heard what Shi Miaoyu said was no different from the news she heard, Lin Yanran knew that she was not in danger, so she was relieved, and nodded and said, "That's good, just come back safely." ”

She doesn't ask for anything else, just that her relatives around her can be safe and healthy.

Seeing Lin Yanran like this, Shi Miaoyu was careful to appease again, after all, Lin Yanran was pregnant now, and she couldn't be stimulated.

After a while, Lin Yanran's mood calmed down.

She gossiped with Shi Miaoyu for a while, but remembered another thing.

"Yes, the sixth day of the sixth month of June is the day your cousin gets married. There was no one in the house before, so you will receive an invitation in about two days. ”

Shi Miaoyu had known about Lin Qifeng's marriage for a long time, and when she heard that he was finally going to get married, she couldn't help but feel a burst of joy and said with a smile: "This is good news." ”

After all, she understands the Lin family, and since her cousin is willing to get married, she will definitely not let down that girl.

Sure enough, on the second day, Shi Miaoyu received an invitation from the Lin family, inviting her to attend the wedding banquet on the sixth day of the first lunar month next year.

Shi Miaoyu took the wedding card and looked at it, she was overjoyed, she knew that the Lin family was the only one seedling, not only her uncle, but also her aunt and mother were very concerned.

Now that my cousin is about to get married, she is married to a girl from the Qin family who she had taken a fancy to earlier, and it is said that she is a gentle and watery character, and it can be regarded as fulfilling a wish of her elders.

When Gu Qingchi came back, seeing her look happy, he couldn't help but bend his lips and smile: "Well, it's indeed a happy event." ”

As a man's intuition, he knew that the reason why Lin Qifeng repeatedly targeted him was just that he was afraid that he would not be good to Shi Miaoyu.

This man has some indescribable thoughts about Shi Miaoyu, but he has not crossed that boundary, and it is not a good thing that he can get married now.

Thinking of this, Gu Qingchi's lips smiled a little more.

Shi Miaoyu didn't know Gu Qingchi's thoughts, she was very happy in her heart now, and now things are going well.

Although Gu Qingchi is very busy these days, there is good news in Jingzhong.

Not to mention anything else, just say that the two princes and the crown prince were both defeated, one became a cripple, and the other was demoted to a concubine and imprisoned, and now there is no strength to compete with Gu Qingchi.

In the matter of the second prince, the emperor was furious after returning to Beijing, but after the anger passed, he was thinking about what to do with him.

And after the prince sobered up, he didn't say anything on his face, but lit a fire behind his back. It was this fire that finally left the second prince with nothing.

It's just that the prince hasn't gotten much benefit, he is now a cripple, and he is sick, and those vacant positions have made Gu Qingchi's people snatch a lot.

Compared with the depression of these two people, Gu Qingchi was a lot more proud.

He never showed it on his face, but the power he should have in his hands was the same, and he didn't give it away.

In such a situation, Gu Qingchi became more and more busy.

The opposite of him was Shi Miaoyu, after Shi Miaoyu returned to the capital, he checked the account books at home, and there was nothing to do.

Gu Qingchi was extremely busy, but Shi Miaoyu was very idle.

In such a free time, she went to Yue's Mansion every two days to talk to Lin Yanran.

Lin Yanran's current month is getting older and older, and Shi Miaoyu is a little worried every time she sees her belly.

Lin Yanran, who is remote, is also a thoughtful person, and when she saw Shi Miaoyu, she was a little uneasy to inquire about the news: "Before, your father's letter was half a month, but now it has been more than a month, but he has never written a letter." Miaoyu, where did the prince say anything?"

Speaking of which, since Yue Zheng went to the frontier, in order to make her feel relieved, this letter has never been missing. Although he didn't come back in the New Year, he missed Lin Yanran all the time.

Only this time, it was extraordinarily abnormal.

It stands to reason that the letter should have arrived by this time, but he didn't send anything back.

Lin Yanran felt unstable after thinking about it day and night, and she couldn't help it at this time, so she asked about Shi Miaoyu.

Seeing that Lin Yanran really mentioned Yue Zheng, Shi Miaoyu suppressed the worry in her heart and chuckled: "Mother don't worry, the prince said this, because there are too many letters to and from the post station, and it is the training season now, and there are occasional mistakes." ”

Hearing Shi Miaoyu's words, Lin Yanran was slightly relieved, but for some reason, she always felt that the truth of the matter was not as simple as her daughter said.

......

"Lord Wang, is there any news from the general?"

When Gu Qingchi came back, it was already midnight, and Shi Miaoyu had slept in the past, but today she was sitting at the table with her clothes closed, and when she saw him come in, the first thing she asked was this.

Hearing this, Gu Qingchi pinched his eyebrows and said, "The messenger has returned, it's not good." ”

These days, he was thinking about another matter, but he didn't want to, but he was mistakenly hit by that Qin Zhao and ruined the strategy, and now Gu Qingchi has already used the second plan.

Now, it's time for both sides to play the game, and let's see who comes out on top.

Hearing this, Shi Miaoyu's face instantly turned a little pale, and she gritted her teeth and asked, "Where is the mother......?"

The stakes are very high, she can hide from Lin Yanran for a while, but she can't hide from Lin Yanran for the rest of her life!

Gu Qingchi shook his head and said, "Mother is at a critical moment now, and she must not leak this matter." The information over there will arrive in the capital in these two days, and the emperor will have this king on his side, so you don't have to worry about the safety of Yuefu, you just don't need to leak your emotions. ”

Seeing that Gu Qingchi said this, although Shi Miaoyu was still worried in his heart, he could only nod and say, "Now it can only be like this." ”

It's just that she also knows in her heart that she can't hide this news for long.

These days, the news that Lin Yanran has received is that there is no war on the frontier.

But in fact, the war on the frontier had already started again more than a month ago, and the Northern Desert even captured the two cities of Western Chu one after another with a thunderous momentum.

Gu Qingchi's original plan was to give the crown prince a hat of treason. But who knew that he had not yet started to act, he learned the news, and the news sent by Yue Zheng was that he suspected that someone in the army had colluded with outsiders.

The matter has not been investigated clearly, although the soldiers of Western Chu are brave and good at fighting, they have been repeatedly defeated and retreated, plus Qin Zhao is the emperor's person, and he has always been uncooperative with Yue Zheng, and the contradiction is getting bigger and bigger at this time.

The border was in chaos, and Gu Qingchi knew that if the news reached the capital, the Yue Mansion would inevitably suffer. He hurriedly took precautions, but Lin Yanran's side was the most important.

It's not because of anything else, it's just because she is now seven months pregnant, if there is a good one, then she will be even more sorry for Yue Zheng.

Gu Qingchi was thinking about what to do next, now that the enemy is in the dark, he is in the dark, if he can't figure out who the moth in this is, then Xi Chu will be in danger!

Not only did he have to guard against this, but he also had to guard against the emperor from making a black move after knowing these things, and he was busy for a while.

Shi Miaoyu knew his current difficulties, so he nodded and said, "Don't worry, the concubine understands." ”

It's just lying to her mother, even if it's for her body, you can't be careless.

......

"Bastard, are they all dead, they can let the Northern Desert take away my two cities in Western Chu!"

The bloody letter was presented to the emperor's desk, and the emperor, who was already in poor health, spit out a mouthful of blood in anger.

It's a shame.

"What about Yue Zheng, hasn't he always claimed to be invincible, I have allowed him to trust in military power, is it just so that he can give away my city in Western Chu?"

The emperor was so angry that when he saw that the ministers in the imperial study were silent, he felt more and more angry: "Come here, spread my will, put Yue Zheng's family members in the heavenly prison, and recall Yue Zheng!"

Hearing this, the military department Shangshu hurriedly stood up and said urgently: "The emperor can't change the commander in battle, it's not good for the army!"

Hearing this, the emperor snorted coldly and asked, "Military heart, then you should tell me, what kind of military heart do you still have?" Two cities, isn't it that he Yue Zheng lost to the Northern Desert!"

As an emperor, he only remembers today's defeat, not the past achievements, he has long been suspicious of Yue Zheng because of his family affairs, and the reason why he didn't attack was because Yue Zheng gave him to protect his family and defend the country.

But now that he has lost all the cities, it is useless for this Yue Zheng to keep it!

Seeing that the emperor wanted to deal with Yue Zheng directly, the ministers present immediately pleaded one after another.

They are not confused, at this time, if Yue Zheng is disposed of, then the Western Chu Kingdom will have to be chaotic.

In the end, under the persuasion of his ministers, the emperor was aggrieved, but he no longer said anything about calling Yue Zheng back, but only sent a henchman to the battlefield.

Qin Zhao has not sent any news back so far, and he has to go to see what is going on.

It's just that the emperor didn't expect it, so he sent people out, and the news came back from the back foot.

And this news made the emperor furious.

"What did you say, Qin Zhao was besieged?"

The soldier was covered in blood, and a few horses were killed on the way, but he only had time to give Qin Zhao's handwritten letter to the emperor, and he died in this imperial study.

The emperor didn't have time to look at the soldier's appearance, so he snatched the letter back, and the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became.

This secret letter was sent by Qin Zhao.

He was besieged by the Northern Desert Army at the beginning, but it was Yue Zheng's desperate rescue that allowed him to survive.

Because of this incident, he temporarily let go of his vigilance with Yue Zheng, and the two investigated the military camp together, but discovered a shocking secret.

There are spies in this army, but this spies - the prince's people.

Qin Zhao said a few words in the letter, but he risked his life to admonish him, saying that the prince had colluded with the Northern Desert, and asked the emperor to think about the country and not to show favoritism.

If Qin Zhao was originally dedicated to doing things for the emperor, then being besieged this time also made him see Yue Zheng's bloody nature, and he felt that the country should be in front.

The prince was too vicious this time, and for the sake of power, he actually left the safety of the country behind, which made him very annoyed, and he felt that this person was not worthy of Mingjun.

That's why this secret letter came about.

The emperor was furious when he got this letter, but he didn't believe in Qin Zhao very much.

So after ordering someone to bury the soldier's body, the emperor sent dozens of people to go in disguise to find out the truth.
