In the Longteng Palace, Xiao Mu instructed the folds on the imperial case, and raised his eyes to look at Ye Nian who was standing under his eyes: "Why are you here alone?" ”

Ye Nian knelt down and said, "The emperor forgives his sins!" My grandson was not in Beijing, so I couldn't come. ”

"Oh?"

The emperor put down the imperial pen in his hand, "Where did you leave the bride as soon as you got married?" ”

"Back to the emperor! It's just that there is an accident in the business at home, so I left Beijing in a hurry! ”

"Is his ancestral home from Yizhou?"

Ye Nian's heart sank: "Yes!" ”

"What kind of business is your family? How did you meet him? ”

"The last general once went out to Beijing to play, and his wallet was stolen on the way, thanks to his help, so they got married. I only heard him say that the ancestral industry involves all walks of life, and the last general does not know how to do business, so he has not asked in detail. ”

"To be able to marry my little Aiqing, I really want to see what kind of man this Bai Chen is! When will he return to Beijing? ”

After Xiao Mu finished speaking, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at Ye Nian with some deep meaning.

Ye Nian frowned slightly, now this lie can only be told hard!

"I received the letter from Yizhou today, it may take a while, and I should have married my husband, so I plan to go to Yizhou in the next two days to see if there is anything I can help."

When the emperor heard this, his face changed and he sighed.

Ye Nian understood that he had something to say, so he asked, "What is on the emperor's mind?" ”

Xiao Mu got up and walked down, picked up Ye Nian with his own hands, and handed her the secret letter in his hand.

Ye Nian opened it and instantly understood his intentions.

"It's a pity that my Great Wei is missing a good general! Xiao Aiqing is already married, and she puts family affairs first, I will not be so ruthless to want your husband and wife to be separated! ”

Ye Nian knelt down and said, "Without Guoping, how can there be a Jianing!" Ye Nian asked for a decree to go on the expedition! ”

"How can you agree?"

"Although my grandson is powerless, he is also a brave man, so he will naturally agree! Please ask the emperor to agree! ”

Xiao Mu helped her up, walked to the imperial case and sat down: "Rong Zhen think about it!" ”

"The war is about to start, if your father goes on an expedition, and the Ye family has no one, it will naturally require you to stay and take care of it, and Yizhou will be too remote."

Ye Nian's heart moved slightly, the emperor was unwilling to leave Beijing by himself?

"Before my father goes on the expedition, the last general will stay in Beijing with peace of mind, and the emperor can rest assured."

Hearing this, Xiao Mu smiled at the corner of his lips, "If it weren't for the busy government affairs, I really want to play another game with you!" Let's go back! ”

"Yes, the last general will retire!"

Ye Nian walked out of the Longteng Palace, and secretly thought to himself: My father is reluctant to go on his own expedition, but the emperor's meaning, I am afraid that no one is missing......

It seems that the day of the expedition is not far off......

@@

Late at night, a man and a horse galloped towards Beijing under the moonlight.

The city gate was closed, and the soldiers guarding the city saw from a distance a man galloping in the distance and stopped at the city gate!

"Who's coming?"

The man, dressed in a dark blue cloak and hiding his face in the hood, took a token from his waist and threw it on.

The soldiers guarding the city took it, and after seeing the waist card clearly, their faces changed greatly, and they hurriedly ran down the city tower to open the city gate.

The soldier held his waist card in both hands, respectfully handed it to the visitor, knelt down and shouted: "Welcome His Royal Highness King Chu back to Beijing!" ”

The light was still on in Xiao Siyu's study, and Xiao Jin pushed the door and stepped in without waiting for Chen to report.

"Pretty fast." Xiao Siyu put down the paperwork in his hand and looked at him a few times.

It's dark, and it's thin.

"How's it going?" His voice was hoarse, and he picked up the teapot, ripped off the lid, and poured two sips with his head up.

"Just in time."

"The emperor is deflated?"

"Zhang Zezhou's excerpt has said a lot of good things about you, and now the time is just right."

"But can he agree to let me go?"

"I could before, and I can do it this time."

"Ye Zhao was injured before, Ah Nian can't get out, otherwise where will it be my turn."

"Besides, at that time, Nangong Qing only had 50,000 soldiers and horses, and 150,000 soldiers in Rongcheng were waiting for him, and the emperor repeatedly explained that I was not allowed to fight privately, and I was mainly defended."

Xiao Jin reclined on the soft couch, supporting her legs.

There was no indignation on his face, only sleepiness that could not be concealed.

"It's okay, it's not a problem for Uncle Huang to come forward."

Xiao Jin didn't care much and yawned.

"Is the mother alright?"

Xiao Siyu glanced at him, "If you are willing to write a letter to her, you will naturally know whether she is good or not." ”

Xiao Jin straightened up, a little worried, "Third brother, isn't the mother concubine good?" ”

Xiao Siyu smiled lightly, "Wait at the gate of the palace early tomorrow, and go see her after the transmission." ”

Xiao Jin relaxed for a moment, yawned again, and got up from the soft couch.

"Where?"

"Go see Ah Nian."

"What time has it been! Do you have any measure? ”

Xiao Jin was a little inexplicable, "I just glanced at her, and I won't disturb her." ”

"Look at you, go down and wash up first, and we'll talk about it tomorrow."

Xiao Jin smiled, "She won't mind ......"

"Don't you understand what this king says!" Xiao Siyu was inexplicably angry.

Xiao Jin's face sank: "You don't let me see her, is something wrong?" ”

Seeing that his side face was tense, Xiao Jin turned around and left, his steps hurried.

"Stop!"

He paused slightly.

"She's not in the General's Mansion,"

Xiao Jin looked back with some uneasiness in his eyes.

"She's married."

Xiao Jin was stunned for a moment, and looked at Xiao Siyu with a face full of disbelief, "When did it happen?" Who did you marry? Why didn't you tell me?! ”

"Half a month ago, I married Bai Chen, what can I tell you?"

Xiao Jin was stunned for a moment, silent for a moment, and smiled a little sadly: "I owe Ah Nian a congratulatory gift!" Third brother, what do you think I should give? I'll have to make it up to her tomorrow. ”

Xiao Siyu frowned, thought for a moment and replied to him: "I don't need a congratulatory gift, I stopped the wedding." ”

Xiao Jin looked at him suddenly, with a complicated expression!

"Old Five, Bai Chen's identity is the prince of Shang Liao, and now Shang Liao and Dongyue have raised troops on the border, Ah Nian, he has used it!"

The surprise in Xiao Jin's eyes couldn't suppress the distress: "When did you learn his identity?" ”

"The night before the wedding."

"Since the wedding didn't take place, why did she move out of the General's Mansion?"

Xiao Siyu was silent, and opened his mouth after a while: "The wedding was held as usual, I met Ye Zhao in advance, and planned to capture him on the night of the wedding and force Shang Liao Dongyue to withdraw from the army." ”

Xiao Jin looked at him blankly, and suddenly rushed forward and punched Xiao Siyu in the face!

Xiao Siyu didn't dodge, and calmly looked at the angry Xiao Jin's expression without fluctuation.

Xiao Jin was a little angry, "You can obviously stop it before the wedding, what do you think, Xiao Siyu?!" What kind of situation have you put Ah Nian in! ”

"I went to look for her and saw her with Bai Chen. The two behaved intimately and lived in the same room, and Bai Chen did not leave all night. What do you want me to do? ”

Xiao Jin laughed angrily: "I'll tell you how to do it?!" Hahaha, Xiao Siyu, ask yourself, is there really nothing to do? If you want to stop it, why can't you?! ”

"What if she had known his identity?"

Xiao Jin was stunned, and looked at Xiao Siyu with contempt in his eyes for the first time in his life: "I always thought that you understood her better than me, and you cared about her more than me, it seems that I was wrong!" ”

"What right do you have to accuse this king!"

"In the past two months, I only knew that Shen Qianyang was married to Xiao Yunqing, and I didn't know anything else that happened in the capital. But when I heard that she got married in a hurry, my first reaction was that she must be for you to make compromises, if there is a trace of luck, maybe she can't bear to me, so she will give up her own personal feelings and let others be safe. ”

Xiao Siyu's pupils shook dramatically, and his heart hurt for a moment, making it difficult to breathe.

"You can't see her suffering, forget it, you tell me what you've done!" The corners of Xiao Jin's eyes were red, and he felt that Ye Nian was not worth it.

"You kill two birds with one stone, not only in addition to the rival in love, but also make her a wife in name only, so that she will not be coveted in the future."

"But have you ever thought about how she will gain a foothold in Beijing in the future, and will she be sad to be harassed by rumors? Will you be disappointed by what you have done? ”

Xiao Siyu suddenly laughed, his eyes were red, and he was stained with moisture.

He leaned back in his chair, his whole body caged in grief.

"I can't take care of it, even if she blames me for being shameless, and you hate me for being despicable, this king will admit it."

"If the heart is cold, the king will cover the heat, and the rumors and rumors will be calmed down, it doesn't matter, as long as it is still my wife after all!"

The sadness and decadence in his eyes quickly dissipated, and his body was domineering and cold, full of ambition!

Xiao Jin looked at him coldly, turned around and left the study without saying a word.

After a while, Li Yan announced at the door: "Master! The Fifth Highness is out of the house, do you want to follow? ”

Xiao Siyu's eyes fell on the official letter in his hand, relieved himself, and sighed.

"Not necessarily!"

"Yes."
