Mountains and rivers are in her palm

Chapter 112 She Knows, But She Can't

The turmoil in the ruling and opposition parties came from a cavalry who rushed back from the north.

He only had time to hand over the urgent report in his hand to the guards at the gate of the city before swallowing his breath.

The guards didn't dare to delay the military situation, and rushed towards the palace. On the same day, His Majesty came out of the alchemy room where he had been staying for a long time, and urgently called an emergency court meeting about the war in the north.

What Yan Wanqing didn't expect was that His Majesty would specially ask the palace servants to come to the Princess's Mansion to invite him to come too.

This was unprecedented before.

Probably because no one can use it anymore, the emperor put his idea on her head again.

The barbarians outside the Great Wall are powerful, and have broken through three cities in a row. Right now, the battle at the border is imminent, and the people at the border are struggling to survive. They are all counting on the imperial court to send troops to guard it.

This was the first time Yan Wanqing saw the emperor after his rebirth.

He was wearing an ill-fitting dragon robe and sitting on the dragon chair, and he looked old.

The empress sat beside him young and beautiful, which further set off the decline of the emperor.

It seemed that his time was indeed numbered.

Yan Wanqing withdrew her gaze and stood among the courtiers without saying a word.

The Dawei royal family has been intriguing and has already sent out all the capable ministers who can be sent out. Now most of the newly promoted civil servants and some old veterans present in the court, who can take on this important task and go to the north to calm down the barbarians? What about the mess?
No one dared to speak easily.

I only heard a lot of whispers among the courtiers, but none of them asked the emperor for a job.

It is naturally impossible for Yan Wanqing to take the initiative to ask Ying to guard against the rebellion.

How about the royal family, what does it have to do with her?
Looking at the emperor's bloated body, she felt sick from the inside out.

If she had just left, he would have the entire Yan family ransacked and beheaded later.

So this time, no matter what, Yan Wanqing will not leave the capital.

"You have been discussing for a long time, are you discussing who will go to the north to quell the war?" Seeing the commotion below, the emperor suddenly slapped the dragon chair and asked in a deep voice.

In an instant, there was complete silence in the hall.

Yan Wanqing kept her eyes on her nose, her nose and her heart, and coughed twice from time to time, saying that she was weak and sick, and that if she couldn't resist Saibei, she would probably crash on the road.

This made the courtiers who had set their eyes on her take back their plans.

Now there are only two princes who are fighting openly and secretly.

Prince Xiao Pingfeng and Seventh Prince Xiao Hongshen.

They were young, and they were all brave and good at fighting, and they were all princes, so whoever they sent could replace the majesty of the emperor and inspire the soldiers.

It's just that the emperor's time is obviously running out at the moment. Whoever goes to the north will be able to return with victory. It's another matter.

Therefore, this is also the reason why the courtiers of the two factions are arguing with each other, trying to get the candidate of the other party to take the initiative to ask Ying to quell the war.

The emperor had a headache from the noise.

Zhang Lanyi hurried forward and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you take a break at halftime and let them argue on their own. Anyway, all the princes are here, and there will definitely be a result."

Between the crown prince and the seventh prince, there must be one person. Who is this person? For Zhang Lanyi, she hopes that the prince will go. Compared with Xiao Hongshen's insidiousness, she has a better chance of winning against the unfathomable prince. It will be lower, this is because of her intuition as a woman.

The emperor adopted the queen's suggestion, and he chose to avoid it.

Without the emperor watching from above, the courtiers let go of the quarrel, and there were countless people who were red-faced.

"The prince is the prince of a country, how can you go to quell the war in person! Do you really think that others don't know your wolfish ambitions!"

"The Seventh Prince has just returned from another place and is physically exhausted. How can he go to lead troops to fight again, not to mention that he has no such experience. Whoever delays the military situation will be counted."

"If you don't have it, you have to experience it. When the Seventh Prince defeats the Manzi, His Majesty will be delighted."

"If the prince wins, His Majesty will be rewarded..."

The ministers were arguing so loudly that Yan Wanqing only felt pain in his eardrums, so he walked out of the hall to breathe.

What she didn't expect was that the prince followed directly.

Xiao Pingfeng's eyes wandered over her for a moment, and finally landed on her flat belly, his lips trembled, his expression unpredictable.

Yan Wanqing turned her back and didn't look at him.

There was nothing she could do, and she didn't want to waste her mind on remembering the past.

In this matter, no one is sorry for anyone.

If she had to say sorry, then she would rather be the villain.

"Don't you want to say something to Gu?"

Yan Wanqing was silent for a while and said: "I hope His Highness will not go to the north to quell the war." According to the memories of his previous life, he never returned from this trip.

"In what capacity do you ask Gu not to go?" Xiao Pingfeng asked softly.

Yan Wanqing was stunned, she pursed her lips and showed a wry smile: "It's the minister who has crossed the line, it's just that the court is in turmoil, and there are so many people with wolfish ambitions. Your Highness will definitely have many accidents when he leaves the capital."

"……only these?"

Yan Wanqing's head was full of thoughts, and she couldn't squeeze out a word at this moment.

Xiao Pingfeng looked at her thin appearance, with a wry smile on her handsome face.

"I know that everything is not your original intention, but... Yan Wanqing, I really have no way to ask myself to forgive your cruel heart."

These words were blown into Yan Wanqing's ears in the warm wind, but it was like a sharp piece of ice pierced into her heart.

"It's a pity, Princess Anping, this time to quell the war in the north, I have to go alone." He turned and entered the hall.

Yan Wanqing's outstretched hand didn't even have time to grab the corner of his clothes.

He walked so resolutely that he could only hear the sound of throwing the ground from inside the hall.

"For this rebellion in the north, I am willing to take the initiative to invite you to lead troops to go there, to challenge the barbarians, and to show off the prestige of our country!"

When the last four words fell on her ears, Yan Wanqing only felt that many pictures from the past and present were connected together. After a burst of tinnitus, the whole world returned to her surroundings.

Yan Wanqing supported the vermilion pillar beside her with her hands.

Everything is destiny.

She shouldn't have been involved with him.

Yan Wanqing walked into the main hall with a stiff foot, at this time the emperor was already sitting on the high seat, he looked at Xiao Pingfeng who was kneeling on the ground, his gaze was very deep, mixed with the scrutiny of the superior.

Seeing Yan Wanqing coming in, the emperor asked, "The barbarians are cunning. If we can go to the north with advisers, we will surely get twice the result with half the effort. Is there anyone who volunteers?"

Many young courtiers came forward.

Yan Wanqing's eyes fell on Xiao Pingfeng's firm back, and she clenched her hands tightly.

She can't.

can not go……

She knew what he was waiting for, but she couldn't.

Yan Wanqing's eyes were scarlet, she lowered her head and looked at the ground.

After all, the prince didn't wait for the voice he wanted to hear from above the main hall, and the last gleam of light in his black eyes completely dimmed.

The crown prince will personally quell the war in the north and promote the prestige of the Great Wei country. After the final decision of the government, we will start today!
