Zhang Shuming's scalp was a little numb when he heard it, and every time the queen replied slowly, the emperor would be very unhappy.

"Back to the emperor, Niangniang hasn't replied yet, maybe Niangniang is busy and has been delayed by some things."

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Shuming obviously felt suffocated.

He hurriedly silenced himself, trying to reduce his presence.

I don't know how long it took, Xiao Shen read all the folds on the table before standing up, "If she doesn't come back, I'll go and arrest her!" ”

Zhang Shuming continued to play dead.

There was a sound of footsteps outside the door.

"Your Majesty, there is news from the border."

Xiao Shen came back to his senses and let people in.

Zhang Shuming took the news and sent it to Xiao Yan.

Xiao Shen opened a glance and ten lines.

The Jin Kingdom's garrison on the border has increased again, and looking at that posture, I feel that I can do it at any time.

Xiao Yan twisted his eyebrows, Jin Guo would not make such a move for no reason, there must be a reason.

"What news did the spies in the Jin Kingdom find?"

"Back to the emperor, there is no news over there for the time being."

Xiao Shen lit the letter paper in his hand on the candle flame.

"Let the spies in Jin send more people to investigate."

"Yes."

At this time, Xiao Yan didn't know that Su Yingren was about to arrive in the capital.

At dawn, she rode out of the mountains and forests, and from a distance, she could see the gate of the capital close at hand.

At this moment, the city gate had just opened, and the people waiting outside the city gate lined up to walk into the city gate.

Su Ying was tired from the road all night, so he rode his horse to the tea shed outside the city gate and sat down to rest, and it was not too late to leave when the people outside the city had almost entered.

As soon as Su Ying sat down, an elderly aunt walked over.

"Does this little boy want tea or some food?"

This tea shed also sells breakfast, and there are already many people sitting in the shed at this time.

"A bowl of tea, and a plate of steamed buns."

"Eh, okay, I'll give it to you, the guest officer."

After a while, the aunt came over with tea and steamed buns.

"Little boy, eat slowly, I'll add it to you when the tea is not enough."

"Thank you."

Su Ying ate this steamed bun with tea, she didn't pay much attention to eating in the past few days, and now her stomach is so clean that there is no oil and water at all, and when she returns to the palace, she has to ask He Shouyi to make up for her.

Su Ying ate the steamed buns, and was about to enter the city when he saw a man and a horse rushing towards him.

Su Ying saw the official robe on his body at a glance, this was the messenger.

Isn't something wrong?

Su Ying put the silver money on the table, quickly turned over and chased after him.

When the aunt heard the movement, she ran over and looked at the broken silver on the table, and shouted at Su Ying's back, "Little boy, give more, ...... more"

Su Ying followed the messenger all the way into the city, but after entering the city, she could no longer gallop, so she could only slow down.

"Report!"

The sound of discussion in the court suddenly stopped.

Xiao Ember let the messenger into the main hall.

"Your Majesty, the southern kingdom suddenly sent troops to our border, and the soldiers and horses guarding the town have already attacked to resist."

The messenger's words suddenly made the atmosphere in the hall tense.

Nanguo fought with Chu before, and he was defeated, and the matter of coming to seek peace before is still vivid, how long has it been since he came to die again?

Xiao Ember had already learned about the troops stationed in the south, and had already ordered the border side to strengthen the troops, and the grain and grass were about to be sent over.

It's just that I didn't expect Nanguo to act impatiently so quickly.

"How many soldiers and horses are stockpiled over there in the south?"

"Back to the emperor, the spies found that there were about 100,000."

Before, the southern country and the Chu country discounted and lost a lot of people, and after the peace was negotiated, the southern country hoarded fewer soldiers and horses on the border, and now it is mobilizing people again, it seems that it is going to fight again, and it dares to take the initiative to provoke.

"Your Majesty, this lost dog in the south dares to be so provocative, it is really beyond his strength, Weichen is willing to fight for the country, and he will definitely beat the gang of dog thieves in the south!"

"The minister is also willing to fight for the country."

Many generals stood up and expressed their willingness to be the main force attacking the southern country.

After the surrender of the southern kingdom before, there has been no war in the Chu State, and their generals are about to be crushed to death by those civilian officials, and now that the war has started, they naturally don't want to miss this opportunity.

If you want to talk about fighting with the southern country, no one is more skilled than Xiao Yan, but as the king of a country, he will not easily drive the expedition in person.

However, when choosing a coach to play against the south, you can't be sloppy.

Xiao Shen did not immediately order the general to go on the expedition, but only called a few old ministers to the imperial study to discuss.

Su Ying drove his horse to the palace gate.

She didn't make a noise when she left the palace, and outsiders only thought she was still in the palace.

Su Ying turned over and dismounted and came to the palace gate.

When the forbidden army saw it, they stepped forward and stopped them.

"Who, the palace is important and must not be approached."

Su Ying took out the palace card from his body.

The forbidden army didn't dare to stop it, but because Su Ying looked at Mian Sheng, they were still vigilant and asked Su Ying to wait for a while, and they were going to go in to report.

Su Ying is not in a hurry, it doesn't hurt to wait.

A moment later, Zhou Qing followed the forbidden army and hurried over.

The palace card that Su Ying took out belonged to Fengluan Palace, and the forbidden army was going to Fengluan Palace to confirm the situation.

After hearing this, Zhou Qing followed the forbidden army out.

"Zhou Qing, it's me."

Although Su Ying changed her voice and changed her appearance, she didn't change her eyes.

Zhou Qing recognized her at the first sight of her.

"Mother...... It's you back, and I'm still waiting for you to reply, so why don't you come with me. ”

The forbidden army saw that Zhou Qing recognized Su Ying, and put the two of them in without hindering them any longer.

Zhou Qing led the way in front, and his steps were much lighter than when he came.

The two entered Fengluan Palace, and Zhou Qing closed the door of the palace with his backhand.

As soon as he entered the inner hall, Zhou Qing knelt down in front of Su Ying.

"The slave welcomes the mother back to the palace."

Su Ying looked at her suppressed excitement and raised her eyebrows and smiled, "I'm so happy, are you sure it's me?" At this time, Su Ying had already regained her voice.

Zhou raised his head with a chuckle, "Yes, Niangniang's eyes are different from others, and the slave can see it at a glance." ”

"Alright, get up quickly, change my clothes."

"Yes."

Zhou Qing got up and redressed Su Ying.

"Nothing happened during the time I've been away, has it?"

"Back to Niangniang, everything is fine in the palace, and the princess and the prince are fine."

Su Ying nodded, she was relieved that the children were good.

Su Ying hadn't had a good night's sleep in the past few days, so she planned to rest for a while while it was still early.

"I'll sleep first, you go and tell Uncle He, let him cook my favorite meals tonight."

"It's Niangniang, the slave and maid are going, can the emperor know about Niangniang's return to the palace?"

Su Ying lay on the bed and muttered, "I don't know, I want to surprise him." ”

Zhou Qing understood, didn't ask any more questions, and retreated after ordering a soothing incense for Su Ying.
