"Since the emperor said so, then you should obey your orders. Qingchen said.

"That's very good. The father-in-law spoke again, "By the way, the emperor also has a holy decree to hand over to Mu Junshi, saying that he agrees with Mu Junshi's performance, let everything in Nanjun go as usual, and seal the original Ningyue with a different surname Hou Luopei as the Dingyuan Marquis of Tianxing Country, and dominate Nanjun, since then, Nanjun is no longer Ningyue Territory, but Tianxing Territory." ”

"Your Majesty. Qingchen was overjoyed when he heard the words of this father-in-law, and the word Shengming was also very sincere.

"Dugong Du, after I go back, I will tell the emperor, and the matter mentioned in this secret decree will be handled as appropriate. Lou Xiyu put away the secret decree, and then turned his head and said to the father-in-law.

"The general can rest assured, our family will send someone to show the emperor's loyalty in this matter. Dugong said, "However, the emperor also instructed that in order to improve the efficiency of the general's work and solve this matter as soon as possible, he specially ordered our family to stay in the Tianxing military camp and supervise General Lou to complete the task of the secret decree as the supervisor of the army." ”

Du's voice fell, Qingchen and Lou Xiyu were taken aback, glanced at each other, and saw doubts from each other's eyes, which one Mu Qingjue came from

"Dugong Du, the emperor he" Although Lou Xiyu didn't know Qingchen's true identity, and he didn't know what kind of relationship Qingchen and Xiao Yi had, but this time he easily took Nanjun, and Xiao Yi could be regarded as making a contribution, so if he could, he didn't want to do what he was told in the secret decree.

"By the way, the emperor also said, please General Lou must complete this matter within seven days, after this deadline, even our family will not be able to explain to the emperor. Du's grandfather continued.

"The emperor instructed, the general should obey his orders, the father-in-law all the way from the capital to the south of the county, the boat and car are tired, very hard, the general has sent someone to prepare wine and food, in the evening in the Wangjiang Tower for the father-in-law to set up a banquet to wash the dust. Lou Xiyu nodded and said, "Please also ask your father-in-law to rest for a while, and I will send someone to invite my father-in-law later." ”

"It's so good, I hope General Lou remembers his identity. Du's father-in-law should go down, and when he left, he reminded Lou Xiyu like this.

Mu Qingchen knew what Du's father-in-law meant, he must have asked Lou Xiyu to guard against her, and he couldn't let her stop the task on the secret decree. Probably this sentence was also ordered by Mu Qingjue, if it wasn't for Mu Qingjue's meaning, how could a eunuch be so arrogant in front of a dignified general

It seems that Mu Qingjue's mind is also slowly changing, since she came out of the Ningyue Palace, she has always been based on the stars, thinking about Mu Qingjue's country in everything, in order to help Mu Qingjue unify the original, but she didn't expect that Mu Qingjue now has other thoughts, and she also wants Xiao Yi's life.

Since he was unkind, he couldn't blame her for being unjust.

"Look at it. After Du's father-in-law left, Lou Xiyu handed the holy decree in his hand to Qingchen and spoke.

"This is the holy decree given to you by Mu Qingjue, you are not afraid that the person surnamed Du will arrest you for the crime of disrespecting the decree" Although Qingchen asked like this, his hand did not hesitate, he took the holy decree of Lou Xiyu's hand and unfolded it directly.

"You're smarter, maybe I know what to do better. Lou Xiyu said, "In the Tianxing Kingdom for ten years, Xiao Yi has always been low-key and introverted, and he can't bear it, but I didn't expect him to be willing to leave thousands of miles of rivers and mountains for you, clean the dust, you didn't choose the wrong person." ”

Mu Qingchen was looking down at the holy decree in his hand, but suddenly heard Lou Xiyu's mouth spit out the word "Qingchen", his body couldn't help but stiffen, he raised his head suddenly, looked at Lou Xiyu, and his eyes flashed with a trace of disbelief.

At this moment, she still has a silver mask on her face, and she herself has not shown any flaws, but Lou Xiyu still knows it.

"Don't be so surprised, when I arrived at Feiyan Pass and saw you for the first time, I knew you were Qingchen. Lou Xiyu said, "It's just that you denied it at the time, and I thought that Qingchen died in the Ningyue Palace, so I didn't continue to investigate, but later, I found out about yours." ”

Lou Xiyu said as she stretched out her finger and pointed to her earlobe, with a smile on her face.

Qingchen immediately realized that although she had changed into men's clothes and wore a mask, she couldn't cover the only flaw in her ears. She is a daughter, so she naturally has pierced ears, but she usually covers it with her hair, for fear of being suspected, but she didn't expect that Lou Xiyu found out the clue after all.

"Then now, what are you going to do" Mu Qingchen saw that Lou Xiyu had made his words clear, and knew that he had no ill will towards him, otherwise he would not have shown her Mu Qingjue's holy decree.

"To be honest, I'm struggling. Lou Xiyu sighed, "Yu Gong, I am the general of the Heavenly Star Country, and I am a courtier of His Majesty, I must obey His Majesty's orders, and I must take the Heavenly Star Kingdom first in everything, and I should follow the orders of this holy decree." But Yu Xiao Yi is your sweetheart, how can I let you down"

"But if you resist the order, your position as the general of the Heavenly Star Kingdom will not be kept, and even worse, it will affect the rest of the Lou family. Qingchen said, "This is not the original intention of the old general to let you join the army in the first place, and you shouldn't pretend to be public for selfish purposes for me who doesn't want to do anything with you." ”

Qingchen forced himself to say these words, his eyes were resolute, and he seemed to completely cut off Lou Xiyu's thoughts, after all, the matter between Lou Xiyu and Luo Yiyi finally had some clues, how could she distract Lou Xiyu

"But it's dusty"

"Mu Qingjue wants Xiao Yi's life, and it depends on whether I agree or not. Qingchen snorted coldly, "You don't have to worry about me, just do what you have to do, I will find a way to do this." ”

After Qingchen finished speaking, he put the holy decree in his hand again, turned around and walked out.

Whether it is Ye Qingcheng or Mu Qingchen, they have endured too much grace and too much affection from Xiao Yi, even if the current Xiao Yi is no longer the personable Yi Wang, not the cynical Yi Wang before, but Xiao Yi who was seriously injured lying on the hospital bed, she will not let people move him a single hair.

Lou Xiyu saw Qingchen's back as he turned to leave, his hand clenched tightly, his face changed a few times, and he returned to normal, sighed slightly, and restrained his thoughts, making himself look no different from usual.

It's not that he doesn't know everything Luo Yiyi has done for himself, but his heart has long been occupied by the smiling princess many years ago, and he can no longer tolerate others, and he is more moved and grateful to Luo Yiyi than love. For him, Luo Yiyi turned his back on his homeland and family, which is a responsibility he cannot give up, so he will treat Luo Yiyi well.

In the future, when everything settles, he will marry Luo Yiyi and give her a name, but the deepest position in his heart will always belong to Princess Yugou, Mu Qingchen.

Qingchen left Lou Xiyu's tent and returned to the Hou Mansion with a different surname, Xiao Yi just took the medicine, lay on the soft couch and closed his eyes to recuperate, and when he heard Qingchen's footsteps, he opened his eyes.

"Is it as you wish, Mu Qingjue agrees that everything is normal in Nanjun" Xiao Yi saw Qingchen and asked.

"Yes, Hou with a different surname is now the Marquis of Dingyuan of Tianxing Country, and Nanjun has officially become the territory of Tianxing Country, and Mu Qingjue's trusted henchmen have also arrived in Nanjun and cooperated with Marquis Dingyuan to supervise Nanjun. Qingchen nodded and said, but his eyes were still stunned.

"There are other things" Xiao Yi saw the look on Qingchen's face, so he said, "Let me guess, there must be something that makes you embarrassed, it's not that Mu Qingjue wants my life"

"Yes, he gave Lou Xiyu an order, let Lou Xiyu personally escort you to the Tianxing Capital, hand over the army of Nanjun to Yu Han to take over, continue to advance north, and occupy the other territories of Ningyue. Qingchen said.

"This is restricting Lou Xiyu's power," Xiao Yi was surprised when he heard this.

"If it's true, only the emperor can understand the emperor, Mu Qingjue's move, although it seems that the target is you on the surface, but he is preventing Lou Xiyu from continuing to make meritorious contributions. Qingchen said, "It is said that the merit is high and the lord is shocked, this is really true, Lou Xiyu is loyal to the Tianxing royal family, and the Lou family has made great contributions to the Tianxing country, and after all, it is inevitable to be suspicious of the fate." ”

"Let Lou Xiyu do it according to Mu Qingjue's holy decree, lest Mu Qingjue find any excuse, if this is really the case, I am afraid that the Lou family will become the next Ye family." Xiao Yi thought far-reachingly, and spit out the last sentence in a low voice, but it made Qingchen's heart tighten.

Even if she is not the real Mu Qingchen, she doesn't want Lou Xiyu and the Lou family to have anything to do, she doesn't want the Lou family army to become a stepping stone for Mu Qingjue to consolidate the imperial power, and she doesn't want the Lou family, who has made great achievements, like her Ye family, can only become a victim of the imperial power after all, carrying grievances and infamy, and living in the people's after-dinner conversations.

This has nothing to do with her personal relationship with Lou Xiyu, she just hopes that there will be no more tragedies of the Ye family in this world.

"I've already told Lou Xiyu, and he knows what to do, but we can't sit still after all, we have to think of a perfect way. Qingchen said, looking at Xiao Yi, as if waiting for him to come up with an idea.

"Actually, don't think about it, if Mu Qingjue is just afraid that I will escape, and I need a master like Lou Xiyu to escort me in person, then it will be fine, but if Mu Qingjue wants to deal with the Lou family, no matter how best of both worlds we think, Mu Qingjue can always find other reasons. Xiao Yi said, "I always feel that this matter is unusual, now that the battle between Ning Yue and Tianxing has not yet been completely settled, and the Tianxing Kingdom is not yet ready to need Lou Xiyu, what is Mu Qingjue's move for?"

"Perhaps, this matter is related to that mysterious person, maybe it has something to do with Xiao Ling. Qingchen frowned, guessing.

"It's just our own speculation, and what happened to it will have to be investigated. "I mean, instead of speculating here, it's better to lure the snakes out of their holes and see what they want to do." ”

"You have to be bait by example," Qingchen asked, raising his eyebrows.

"Other than that, there is another way" Xiao Yi nodded indifferently.

Qingchen was silent, Xiao Yi's injury was what she was most worried about, on the one hand, Xiao Yi, who was seriously injured, and on the other hand, Lou Xiyu, who was sympathetic to the same disease, she was in a contradiction and was in a dilemma.
