Empress, she is beautiful Lu Ziye

Chapter 543 Chen Wang Missing
After coming out of Mingyue Pavilion, it was already getting late, and he was delayed for a while when he met Yan Ruolan, and when he rushed back to the palace, it was already past midnight.

Tonight, the moon in the sky is extraordinarily round and bright, as if it wants to compete with the candlelight on the ground.

Nan Zhen stepped on the shadow on the ground and walked towards her room step by step.

The winter moon has rested, the cold palace is silent, and the bright moon hangs high, which can really make people feel so frightened, as if ghosts will condense under the moonlight in the next second, and pounce on the living.

Nan Zhen walked outside the room, stepped up the steps, and wanted to push the door, but stopped suddenly.

After a few breaths, he turned and walked out.

Maybe His Majesty has already rested, but today I just got the news that Yu Xinghong was the one who cast the Gu, so I thought it would be better to tell him as soon as possible.

Moreover, in the northwest region, the two armies have not confronted each other recently, and she always feels uneasy, which is not a good thing.

Under the calm, there may be turbulent waves hidden.

Nan Zhen walked quickly and took another shortcut, but it was already a quarter of an hour before she reached Zichen Hall.

To her surprise, the lights in the hall were still on.

Xiao Guizi stood in the corridor, a little dazed, and heard footsteps after a while, looked up, and saw that Nan Zhen had already walked over.

"Your Majesty." He hastily saluted, "Why are you here at this hour?"

"Can't sleep, so come and have a look."

Nan Zhen glanced at the window reflecting the light and shadow, and asked, "Isn't morning going to court tomorrow? Why hasn't Your Majesty rested yet?"

Xiao Guizi: "In the evening, there was an urgent report from the northwest. After reading it, His Majesty summoned Old General Wei and sat there the entire time."

Nan Zhen frowned, "You don't know what's going on?"

Xiaoguizi shook her head.

His Majesty didn't let him come to serve, so he didn't find a chance to ask, but it could be seen that His Majesty was in a bad mood.

"I see."

After Nan Zhen finished speaking, she went straight into the hall.

The moment the door was pushed open, Xiao Rongxi raised his eyes and looked over, his face was tense, his brows were furrowed, and after seeing the person clearly, his eyes relaxed a little.

"Didn't you leave the palace? I thought you wouldn't be back until at least tomorrow."

Nan Zhen smiled, "Things went well, so I came back."

She walked slowly towards Xiao Rongxi, obviously only a few steps away, but the uneasiness in her heart became more and more intense.

Before the other party took the initiative to inform the contents of the letter, he asked, "I heard from Xiao Guizi that it was an urgent report from the northwest... Is there something wrong with Prince Chen?"

Xiao Rongxi was surprised for a moment, then nodded.

Seeing Nan Zhen approaching, he passed the letter to her to read, "This is a secret letter from the deputy general who went to the northwest with Prince Chen. Prince Chen is missing."

In the past half month, Liang Guo's troops were still stationed on the northwest border, but they were more peaceful.

Seeing that the city could not be broken for a long time, they stopped aggressively attacking it. Instead, they sent a small group of people to harass, and often went in and out of the city, the area under the jurisdiction of the Great Zhou, looking for a way to break the city.

There are many dense forests and complex terrain. Although there are broken mountains, it is not easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is extremely difficult to drive away.

And at that time, the Liang army was powerful and arrogant. In order to avoid unnecessary casualties and preserve strength, Xiao Yiheng ordered most of the soldiers to withdraw to the city and defend the city with peace of mind.

Five days ago, Xiao Yiheng made a careful plan, ordered people to survey the terrain, and arranged four teams to come out from the two wings, forming a pincer attack from left and right, and prepared to inflict heavy damage on Liang Jun.

Liang Jun was caught off guard, and the soldiers took up weapons in a panic to deal with it, and retreated steadily.

Xiao Yiheng surveyed the whole situation, and when he saw that the timing was almost right, he personally led people to ambush at the back of Broken Mountain, preparing to cut off their retreat, but he never thought that no one would come back from dawn to dusk.
