Zong Bei counted the days and said, "It has been five days since the last confrontation between us and Liang Jun. There was not even a small friction in the middle, which always makes me feel uneasy."

Our side is working hard, studying defenses and planning to launch an attack, striving to defeat the enemy with one blow, but the opponent is always calm and doesn't even notice anything strange, which is not a good thing.

I'm afraid he is planning the next step somewhere he can't see.

Xiao Rongxi lowered his eyes and focused on the file, "We occupy the undulating mountains to protect ourselves from the enemy. I wonder if there is any passage in the mountains?"

Zongbei shook his head, "No. The general has already been explored by people. There are no secret passages in the mountains. With such a tight defense, even if it is dug, it will be too late."

He has been guarding Baixiong Pass, and he knows exactly what is happening in the surrounding mountains and forests.

I still have some confidence in this.

"Then what are they waiting for?" Xiao Rongxi murmured.

If we had waited for all the troops to gather together to launch a general attack, they would have been ready and ready, and they would not have waited for him to come from the capital.

Xiao Rongxi couldn't figure it out for a moment, and Zong Bei couldn't guess what the other party was thinking.

But there is one more thing, it is a thorn that has been growing in my heart, and it is difficult to sleep well unless it is removed——

Insider.

If something happened to Xiao Yiheng, there must be Liang Jun in the camp, but these days, Zongbei secretly searched everywhere, but could not find the whereabouts of the other party.

At this moment, Xiao Rongxi asked, and he seemed a little ashamed.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. Although I have not been able to identify this person, based on the time of His Highness King Chen's incident, it is estimated that this person's status should be high."

King Chen only took a small group of people to travel that day. Not many people knew the news in advance. Only he and a few lieutenants knew the specific arrangements.

In addition, there must be time to report the news.

After several investigations, Wang Chengmian and Sun Yong were the most suspected.

Xiao Rongxi had an impression of these two people. They all came with Zong Bei to greet them today.

Wang Chengmian had a simple and honest face, but Sun Yong's eyes seemed a little erratic and he never came close to speak.

"No further news?"

Zongbei: "Not yet. There are people watching around them and reporting every day. There is nothing abnormal so far."

Xiao Rongxi lowered his eyelids slightly, "These people should also know that there are eyes watching behind them, and they dare not act rashly. But we must find a way to lure people out, otherwise we will have to worry about backstabbing every day."

"Yes."

"Okay, it's getting late. We have to leave for the camp tomorrow. You should go down early and prepare."

After traveling day and night, Xiao Rongxi felt a little depressed once he settled down. After saying a few words, he ordered Zongbei to retreat.

He got up and walked into the inner room, only to realize that Nan Zhen was not there.

"Where's Concubine Li?" he asked the guard outside the door.

"Back to Your Majesty, your Majesty, your Majesty went out after dinner. It seems she went to the courtyard to the west."

The West Courtyard is where Yu Huaishan lives.

Both Xiao Rongxi and Nan Zhen went to the border, and he didn't want to stay in the palace, so he simply accompanied them.

He will also go to camp tomorrow, but when it comes to making tea and cooking medicine, it is naturally more convenient to stay at home.

At this moment, bursts of bitter smell wafted from the wall of the west courtyard, and as you got closer, you could hear the gurgling sound of the medicine.

Nan Zhen turned into the corridor and looked up to see Yu Huaishan, hunched over, blowing air into the small furnace. He waited until the fire was burning vigorously and then stopped with satisfaction.

"Why are you still making medicine, Doctor Yu?"

When Nan Zhen spoke, he was surprised to realize that someone had entered the yard. He quickly raised his head and said, "Mother."

When someone came closer, he continued, "I'm thinking about entering the camp tomorrow, so I'd better prepare some medicine to stop bleeding, eliminate blood stasis, and eliminate inflammation." The flames sprang up, making his clothes red.

"I only know that boiling medicine requires slow simmering over low heat, but I don't know that high heat is needed."

Yu Huaishan explained, "This is the final stage. I wonder why the empress came here at night?"

"I'm here to ask you to get some medicine." Nan Zhen said, "It's been difficult to fall asleep at night recently. Even though I feel sleepy during the day, I can't sleep well."

Yu Huaishan was stunned, looked at her face carefully by the firelight, and said, "Let me feel her pulse first."

Nan Zhen stretched out her hand.

After a moment, Yu Huaishan nodded, as if he knew something, "Your Majesty, your health is good. Although climbing mountains and wading in rivers is hard work, it will not damage your foundation. It's just that I have been thinking a lot recently and my heart is depressed, which makes it difficult to fall asleep for a long time. But It’s not serious, don’t worry, Madam.”

"Is there any solution?"

Yu Huaishan smiled, stood up, took a packet of fragrant powder from the house and handed it to her, "This incense has the effect of calming the mind and calming the mind. Your Majesty, you can light it tonight."

Not only her, but also His Majesty.

The closer to the battleground, the more excitement and anxiety become intertwined.

People can use their strong self-control to force themselves to think calmly, but they cannot completely suppress the emotions in their chests.

"Thank you."

Nan Zhen chatted with him for a few words, and when she saw that the medicine was ready, she stopped staying and went straight back to the hospital.

There was no one in the room, and Nan Zhen was not in a hurry to look for it. She ordered someone to get the incense burner, add new incense ashes, and press it carefully.

The incense powder had just been filled and removed from the mold. Before it could be burned, she was hugged from behind.

Nan Zhen didn't look back, she just continued the movements of her hand slowly, using sparks to ignite one end of the seal script before she slowly said, "Why hasn't your Majesty rested yet?"

"Wait for you."

Xiao Rongxi rested his chin gently on her neck and watched the white smoke rising up and then drifting away in circles, "Did you just get it back?"

Nan Zhen responded, "Yes. I hope you have a good sleep tonight."

Xiao Rongxi smiled, hugged her tightly, and said in a muffled voice, "You are interested."

The person who really needs this fragrance may not be her, but herself.

He hid his emotions very well, even Fei Liu and Jin Lin didn't notice it, and he never thought that Nan Zhen would notice it.

"It sounds like I was so heartless before."

Nan Zhen didn't want to make the atmosphere heavy. While chatting with him, she took a half-wet handkerchief to wipe her hands, and then rubbed the water on his clothes.

Xiao Rongxi: "..."

He caught the hand that was rubbing randomly on his body, squeezed it, wiped off the water droplets on the back of her hand that had not been completely wiped off, and bit her ear, "You are getting bolder and bolder."

"Someone is spoiling me," Nan Zhen met his gaze and raised her eyebrows, "Don't you know, Your Majesty?"

Xiao Rongxi smiled, took her hand and wiped it on her clothes, "Yes, I know, willingly."

Seeing Nan Zhen's eyebrows curling up, he felt much relieved, and he bent down to lift her up and walk to the bed, "Just now Zongbei was still asking if he wanted to send two maids who know martial arts to protect you, but I refused. "

"Your Majesty did a great job."

Nan Zhen raised her tail and lowered her head to bite him on the face, which made him pursue the kiss even more eagerly.

Nan Zhen ducked away with a smile and said, "We are here to fight, not for fun. We don't need anyone to serve us."

She used to be a loner. If something happened, it was not certain who would protect whom.

Xiao Rongxi responded, then opened his eyes dissatisfied, "What are you hiding from?" (End of Chapter)
