Marshal, your vest is off

Chapter 204 Zhao Wuyuan recovers

"Yes, Princess." The little eunuch agreed, but he didn't dare to ask why there was a basin of hot water here.

Cheng Qing clasped her hands and walked out. When she reached the door, she suddenly thought of something, stopped and said: "Little father-in-law, if the fourth prince wakes up, tell him that if he needs my help, he can come. Find me at the military camp."

"Yes." The little eunuch agreed respectfully.

Cheng Qing left the palace.

Under the starry night, she slowly walked back to the military camp alone.

If Bai Xiuyuan hadn't disappeared, she definitely wouldn't be walking here alone.

Suddenly, Cheng Qing felt a kind of loneliness.

Such loneliness had not befallen her for a long time.

Xiuyuan, where are you?If you are still alive, please reply.

"Cuckoo-"

The sound of a carrier pigeon came. Cheng Qing looked up and saw a gray carrier pigeon flying towards her.

Cheng Qing frowned slightly, having a bad feeling.

She raised her arm, letting the pigeon rest on her arm, and took the note out of the pigeon's leg.

After unfolding it, Cheng Qing quickly glanced at the contents and frowned.

He actually lost track of Zhao Wuye!

So where will she go to find Bai Xiuyuan now?

Cheng Qing released the dove, leaned against the palace wall, raised his head, and slowly squatted down.

"Bai Xiuyuan, where did you go? If you still have some conscience, tell me where you are?!"

……

The next day, early in the morning.

Zhao Wuyuan appeared at the Royal Forest Army camp.

This incident almost caused a sensation in the entire palace.

Even the emperor was shocked when he heard it.

In the royal study, the emperor quickly summoned the secret guard to listen to the situation.

But the result is that there is no situation.

The secret guards guarding the palace last night all fainted for a while. No one knows what happened during that time.

The emperor frowned, "What on earth is going on?"

At this time, in the Royal Forest Army barracks.

Zuo Caijun, who had been waiting at the gate of the military camp for a long time, saw Zhao Wuyuan coming and hurriedly greeted him.

"I have seen the fourth prince."

Seeing that he didn't look surprised at all, Zhao Wuyuan asked, "Do you know that the prince is coming? Was Commander Cheng ordered you?"

Zuo Caijun smiled and said: "Back to the Fourth Prince, it is true that the Commander-in-Chief has instructed his subordinates to welcome the Fourth Prince here, but I really didn't know that you would come here so early in the morning. I thought the Commander-in-Chief was joking with me. .”

Zhao Wuyuan didn't say anything more. Thinking of Cheng Yue's words last night, he walked towards the tent.

Cheng Qing was sitting in the tent looking at the drawings of the palace and thinking about the defense of the palace.

The time given to her is becoming increasingly urgent. Although it relies on forced suppression and benefits, it is not a long-term solution for a woman to rule the Imperial Guard.

The world is still dominated by men. If there is no life-long friendship, who would be willing to take orders from a woman?
Even if you are willing for a moment, you will not be willing forever.

"Commander, the fourth prince is here." Cheng Qing raised her head after hearing this, and saw Zhao Wuyuan walking in from the outside. She stood up and went to greet him.

Zhao Wuyuan saw her in bronze armor, and in a daze, he seemed to see Cheng Yue.

But soon the illusion disappeared.

Because Cheng Qing smiled so hard that his eyes turned into crescent moons and came over. It was the familiar Cheng Qing who looked like a little daughter.

"Cheng Qing, the commander of the Royal Forest Army, has met the fourth prince." Cheng Qing bowed his hands in salute.

Zhao Wuyuan went over to help her and said, "You and I don't need to perform these false rituals."

Cheng Qing smiled and said, "That's not what I said. I'm just showing off to you. Now I, Cheng Qing, am also an official."

Zhao Wuyuan laughed when he heard this, but the smile didn't reach his eyes, "Naughty."

Cheng Qing had goosebumps all over his body and quickly invited people inside.

Zhao Wuyuan asked: "Qing'er, how do you know that I will definitely come back?"

Cheng Qing smiled and said: "I don't know if you will come. I was just thinking that since I left those words, you might come. I will send someone to wait at the gate of the military camp. If you don't come for a day, , I’ll have people wait there for one day, and if you don’t come for ten days, I’ll have people wait there for ten days.”

"So that's it." The last doubt in Zhao Wuyuan's heart was wiped away, and he asked: "Qing'er, what happened during the time I was unconscious?"

Why is he getting more and more nervous looking at the current palace.

Cheng Qing sighed and told him everything in the palace.

Zhao Wuyuan frowned. It was difficult for him to digest what Cheng Qing told him. But there was one thing he really wanted to ask, "You said the eldest brother, he wants to kill me?"

Cheng Qingdao: "That was indeed my guess at first, but later I discovered that his main purpose was not here."

"How do you say this?" Zhao Wuyuan asked.

Cheng Qing said: "Because on the night he came to attack, there was also a violent attack in the sky prison. During this attack, several imprisoned princes were rescued."

Zhao Wuyuan nodded and said thoughtfully: "I understand, his purpose is indeed not with me. He must have wanted manpower for saving my brothers."

"That's right." Cheng Qing saw that his thinking was still clear, and he put the big rock in his heart back. The scene last night had an effect, and Zhao Wuyuan came to his senses again.

Zhao Wuyuan asked: "Father, do we really not have many days left?"

Cheng Qing sighed and said, "I can't say this. If I say it, it will spread everywhere. I say this, do you understand?"

Zhao Wuyuan nodded.

Cheng Qing continued: "There are some things that I hope you will be fully prepared for as soon as possible. I'm afraid it's the eve of the storm now, and no one can predict how big things will develop next."

Zhao Wuyuan suddenly felt blessed and asked: "Qing'er, you will help me, right?"

Cheng Qing looked at him doubtfully and said, "You were injured, why have you changed? Of course I will help you. We are good friends through life and death."

"Good friends who have been through life and death?" Zhao Wuyuan couldn't think of any personal relationship with his children at this time, but when he heard her words, his heart still felt like being pricked by a needle.

Cheng Qing nodded and said, "Of course."

Zhao Wuyuan smiled and felt a hint of bitterness at the corner of his mouth. He looked around and asked, "Where is Bai Xiuyuan?"

Hearing this name, Cheng Qing was stunned, and his relaxed expression suddenly collapsed, and he said, "He is missing."

"Missing? When did it happen?" Zhao Wuyuan asked in shock.

Cheng Qing said: "On the night you were assassinated, he went after a man in black, but he never came back."

Zhao Wuyuan was also worried, but seeing Cheng Qing's sad look made him feel even more uncomfortable.

"Have you searched for it in the palace?"

Cheng Qing nodded, "I've searched everything, not only the imperial palace, but also Anping City, but I still can't find where he is."
