Spring apricots around the palace wall

Chapter 135

Ruan Wei forced a smile, and tentatively said: "Yes, I play best with her. Uncle Sanhuang is very strict and doesn't let his wife go out. She always sneaks out to play with me. I don't know how many times , have you been discovered by Uncle Sanhuang?"

Ruan Ye nodded.

"Of course, I found out."

She cryptically used "Three Emperor Uncles" to refer to the emperor, and Ruan Ye answered decisively.

The implication is that the emperor sent someone to investigate her, since it is an investigation, it is inevitable to leave clues. It is precisely because my brother discovered this and was worried about her situation that he came to Qiyuan specially.

Ruan Wei quickly recalled in her mind that there was anything unusual about the emperor these days, but there seemed to be nothing.

But thinking about it carefully, the heavy black iron bow at the banquet for Wu Maling was very strange.

It's not that Qi Yuan doesn't have light bows and arrows.

And she is obviously a weak woman, if she was assigned such a black iron bow, if she couldn't pull it away, it would be Qi Yuan's face that would be lost.

It's just that she had a strong purpose towards Wumaling at that time, and she could gain fame by showing herself on that occasion, so she didn't think much about it, and showed off in public.

Thinking about it now, it was very likely that it was also a temptation from the emperor to her.

And Yujun Jiao... the emperor really wanted to kill Concubine Ming just because of her words?I'm afraid it's much more than that.

Ruan Wei's face became increasingly ugly.

If so, why didn't the emperor do anything to her again, did he care about Chumeng?

Ruan Ye asked: "Miss Royal Concubine, do you miss home?"

In fact, he missed a word, what he wanted to say should be "Do you want to go home?"

Ruan Wei also understood.

"I think so, but I've already married into the Qiyuan Dynasty."

If the emperor really wanted her to die, she would have to die in the Qiyuan Dynasty. If she fled back to Donglou, she would only harm Donglou.So she will not run away, but she will not sit still.

Why not go upstream?

Ruan Wei said: "I asked Wu Maling for a little thing before, you tell him that you don't need to send money to Donglou, I asked for that little thing in advance, just give it to me as a birthday present."

Ruan Ye knew in his heart that it was absolutely crucial for his sister to make a special mention at this time, and it would not be a small thing.

There were people from the emperor staring at them and talking, so it was impossible for him to ask.

Ruan Ye nodded: "Okay, I see."
-
After Xuan Wei heard the report, Concubine Ruan Gui and Ruan Ye didn't say anything, they just chatted a few words that were not important.

As for Wu Maling sending things to Donglou for Concubine Ruan, this was the first time Xuanwei had heard of it.

Wu Maling valued this woman so much?
That is not easy to kill.

As for the Donglou envoy, his bones were still a bit hard, and after letting him go for a while, he didn't ask to see the emperor at all, and went back directly.

"Your Majesty, today is fifteen, are you going to Fengyi Palace?"

Xuan Wei paused, and laughed: "She is not even coming here as a queen, so why should I go?"
-
For two months, even on the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, the emperor did not go to Fengyi Palace once.

On a certain day two months later, Xuan Wei received a military intelligence report.

An Huaiguo is planning to attack the Qiyuan border in the past few months, and several rounds of meetings have been held on how to conquer it.

This is the biggest thing Xuanwei has encountered since he came to the throne. Once the battle with An Huai is fought, even if he wins, he will surely be covered with corpses and blood will flow into rivers, and he will suffer heavy losses.

But Xuanwei felt a little relieved.

In the past two months, for the sake of a man's dignity, he has frequently dealt with Xiyi women forcibly, causing him to feel that he has already run out of ammunition and food.

Now the person has lost a lot of weight and feels weak all day long. He is in this position, unable to go up or down, it is extremely difficult.

Now that the war is imminent, he finally has a reason to avoid it.

"Instead of sitting still and waiting for death, it is better to take the initiative to attack. This battle with An Huai should not be underestimated. I will fight personally to boost morale."

It's not that he's not good at that, it's just that he's going to the battlefield.

Several ministers participating in the meeting looked at each other unexpectedly.

The emperor is so virtuous that he would actively propose the royal conquest, and now he looks like a serious emperor again.
-
The news of the emperor's impending imperial conquest spread to the harem, and the subconscious reaction of the concubines was worry. Everyone had heard about how powerful An Huai's cannon was, and it was impossible to be fearless.

In case the city is destroyed, if they can survive, they will become the playthings of An Huai's dignitaries, or they will die.

But for a while, I can live comfortably.

The concubines couldn't stand the emperor for a long time, that thing was too filthy, everyone was happy when he left.

Only Ruan Wei and Yu Chumeng were in a dazed state.

After closing the door, Ruan Wei sighed: "Mistake, I didn't expect him to take the initiative to fight this battle."

She thought that the dog emperor would first choose to deploy troops to defend and negotiate with An Huai, but this time the dog emperor simply decided to go directly to the imperial conquest to fight.

Yu Chumeng said: "Then what should we do? No one else is here, what kind of palace are we forcing?"

People have stumbled, horses have stumbled, thousands of calculations, it is not possible to be like this.

Ruan Wei said with deep eyes: "He is in charge of the conquest, who will supervise the country?"

"Eighty percent is Qi Yuanzheng."

"Then let's take this opportunity to change Chaotang's blood."

Ruan Wei said: "Besides, with the emperor's current body, how can he withstand the wind and sand at the border, he might die outside the border unexpectedly, which is a surprise for us."

Yu Chumeng smiled: "You think it's quite beautiful."

Can there be such a good cheap thing?

"It's because he thinks too beautifully," Ruan Wei raised her eyebrows. "Where does he think the battlefield is, where he is allowed to sleep soundly in front of the three armies, or is the enemy leader listening to his hypocrisy?"

She said in a low voice: "I heard that he feels powerless when reviewing memorials recently. Eunuch Li often reads them to him. He makes decisions lying down."

Physician Meng also said that the emperor's physical consumption has far exceeded the limit that the human body can bear, and it will not take long for this body to be full of diseases and gradually fail.

Imperial Physician Meng was very worried but dared not speak out, because he heard from the Queen that Imperial Physician Fang was too honest and bluntly said that the Emperor was in poor health, so he ended up with unknown fate.

If you want to survive, you have to keep your mouth shut. The emperor will give you velvet antlers, and the other imperial physicians did the same.

Yu Chu’s dream is also right, but:
"We can't just expect him to die on the battlefield. How is this any different from burning incense and praying to Buddha and expecting a thunderbolt to strike him dead?"
-
Two days later, a piece of news broke the harmonious atmosphere in Fengyi Palace like a surprise.

"Empress, the emperor said that he will take the imperial concubine and empress to the imperial conquest!"

Yu Chumeng subconsciously looked at Ruan Wei beside her.

Her mind was spinning quickly.

He specially brought Weiwei along, it was definitely not because Xuanwei couldn't do without her, the biggest possibility was that Xuanwei felt that Ruan Wei could play a role in this war.

What is he going to do with Ruan Wei?

If Ruan Wei was used to threaten Wumaling to retreat before the battle, the general result would be that Wumaling remained indifferent and Ruan Wei died in front of the battle.

Wumaling can treat a woman very well, but it is impossible for her to do things that harm the interests of the country.
