The group of people rushed back to the camp. By this time, the fire had been put out, and Xie Xun was leading the people to clean up the mess. Fortunately, the fire was put out in time and only two granaries were burned.

Seeing that the Su family members were not even wearing armor and were covered in blood, Xie Xun frowned and said, "Are you injured?"

Su Juan then lowered his eyes and looked at his body. He had been stabbed a few times, but most of them were other people's blood. "It's a skin injury. Just apply some medicine."

Shi Yuan rushed back and Yuan Li apologized to him. No one expected that the Southern Army had just been defeated, but they could lead a surprise attack and rescue the prisoners. Not even Princess Jinyang could protect her. , suffered some injuries.

In the camp, the military doctor bandaged the injuries on Su Yuan's body, and then Xie Xun walked in, "Didn't we discuss that we should lower the alert of the prisoner camp and let them rescue the one named Chu? Why don't you chase after her?" What?"

Su Juan said in a deep voice, "If we don't catch up, wouldn't it make them think that it was too easy to save this person?"

"Moreover, the one who came to save people is Zhai Mu. This person will definitely attack Chu Yang on the way, so he must die."

Xie Xun pursed his thin lips tightly. He was very dissatisfied with Su Juan's risky pursuit last night, but he had to admit that he also wanted to kill Zhai Mu.

I remember that Qiyou died at his hands

Xie Xun gritted his teeth. If he had the chance, he would kill this person with his own hands.

Seeing his expression, Su Juan stood up and said, "Zhai Mu was hit by an arrow from me. He won't survive."

Xie Xun was slightly startled, "Are you so confident in yourself?"

Su Juan raised her eyebrows and looked at him, "I have always been confident in my archery skills."

What's more, Chu Yang returned to the Southern Army camp. Even if the arrow in Zhai Mu couldn't kill him, Chu Yang should take action himself.

He should know in his heart that if Zhai Mu doesn't die, he will die sooner or later.

As long as Zhai Mu dies, as agreed upon, the Southern Army will be defeated and Chu Yang will retreat back to the Southern Kingdom. Even if he doesn't know how to go back, Shen Ruhui will teach him.

Next, just wait.

In the blink of an eye, three months later, the young general who was exploring the front came back with his people, bringing the good news that the Confederate army had withdrawn. However, the border security still could not be relaxed, and the Confederate army would come back at any time.

At the same time, news came from the capital. It was Cai Yi who personally brought the order, ordering the Su family members to rush back to the capital immediately. The emperor was ill. The Su family members had been drinking decoctions when they left. They fainted a few days ago and woke up. After arriving, I drank some medicine and fell unconscious again.

When Cai Yi left Beijing, he had not gone to court for two days, and there were a lot of discussions in the court.

The empress was worried that the emperor would not be able to survive, so she ordered Cai Yi to rush to the border immediately and summon the empress dowager back to Beijing.

The news was kept secret, and I didn't dare to spread it, for fear of attracting the covetousness of other countries at this time.

Unable to wait for dawn, Su Juan packed her bags and prepared to leave. Xie Xun came to see her off.

Su Juan sighed, "There really is no banquet in the world that lasts forever."

We were two people when we came, but we were alone when we left. Without Shen Ruhui by our side, we really felt a little uncomfortable.

Xie Xun patted her shoulder, "When I first met you, I thought you were as unreliable as me, but now you are different from me."

Su Juan curved her lips and smiled, "It's no different."

Xie Xun couldn't laugh, "Be careful on the way back."

"it is good."

On the way back to the capital, the Su family didn't even dare to take a rest for fear that they would be late and the home they had worked so hard for several years would be stolen.

The emperor woke up while the Su family members were on their way back to Beijing. However, the news of his serious illness could not be concealed and spread. The imperial doctor stayed in the palace and did not dare to slack off.

After returning to the capital, the Su family members hurried into the palace without even having time to bathe and change clothes. They met with the queen first and said, "Grandmother, what did the imperial doctor say?"

There was no one around, and the queen shook her head, "The imperial doctor said that he had been in poor health for the past two years, and he has been holding on and refused to say anything. He has been busy with government affairs in the past few days, and now he is so seriously ill that he may not have much time left."

At this time, the old emperor was sitting on the couch, and he didn't forget to look at the papers that had fallen recently. He coughed while looking at them.

When Su Juan went in and took a look, he frowned and strode over. He took the memorial away from his hand and said, "Don't bother with it if you are sick." After saying this, he threw the memorial to the chamberlain aside and ordered someone. Remove them all.

The old emperor stared at her for a long time, was silent for a moment, and then coughed twice, "I just went to the border for a long time, and I got very angry when I came back."

Su Juan was silent, she had such a good temper, why did she have such a bad temper?

[How long have I been to the border for a long time? When I came back, you were so pretentious. 】

The old emperor asked angrily, "How's the situation at the border?"

Su Juan said angrily, "Zhai Mu is dead and the Southern Army has retreated. It is estimated that Chu Yang will face Chu Guang after returning. Brothers will fight, and the Southern Kingdom will inevitably be in chaos."

She thought to herself that with Shen Ruhui here, this day would not be long.

The old emperor smiled and said, "This is good news."

At this time, the imperial doctor brought the medicine and handed it to the chamberlain. The old emperor frowned and waved his hands repeatedly, "If you don't want to drink it, don't drink it. Take it away."

The waiter was suddenly in a dilemma.

Su Juan stood up and took the medicine bowl, sat aside and handed the medicine bowl to the old emperor, "Drink."

The old emperor pursed his lips tightly.

Su Juan was ready to pour it into him.

The old emperor became anxious immediately, "I know my body well, whether I drink medicine or not."

I am already an old man, I can just kick someone out and leave at any time. Why should I drink medicine? Isn't this why I still suffer before death?

Sujuan: "."

The old man's cheating is most embarrassing.

The chamberlain on the side persuaded, "Your Majesty, the princess came back to the palace after traveling day and night without even taking a break."

The implication was that he advised the old emperor to drink the medicine and not to embarrass the princess.

The Su family members all put the medicine to their mouths, but the old emperor still had a straight face and was unhappy when he smelled the medicine. "I won't drink it if I say you won't. Get out of here quickly!"

Su Juan's forehead jumped, "You are so used to it. It takes so much effort to drink the medicine." 】

[I can’t cure you, why can’t I find someone to cure you? 】

She put the medicine aside, got up and walked out.

The old emperor didn't take it seriously. I am the king of a country, so you dare to act in front of me. Who dares to be presumptuous in front of me?

It is impossible to drink this medicine.

Seeing Su Juan go out, he ordered someone to take the medicine away, but out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of the queen who had said she was going to take a break coming in.

The next moment, the old emperor, who had a straight face just now, picked up the medicine bowl next to him, drank the medicine in two gulps.

Su Juan, who was following the queen, saw this scene and her mouth twitched.

The old emperor glared at the Su family. The little girl went to the border to learn some tricks.

That night, he personally issued an edict, ordering the crown princess to assume the imperial power on her behalf, with Duke Ping and the crown prince's young master Cai Yi assisting her.

The emperor was seriously ill, and the Su family members were in charge of the country. On the first day of the court, a minister wrote a letter, thinking that the Su family members were not young and should take care of their husbands. It was a matter of state involving the emperor's heirs and should not be slacked off.

Su Juan smiled and said, "What Yu Qing said makes sense, and I will take this matter to heart."

The ministers were surprised. In the past, Princess Jinyang refused in all kinds of ways, but today she agreed?
