After the replacement of the delicate imperial concubine, my emperor will never come to court again

Chapter 428 Letter from the Western Regions
The old nanny scolded them when she heard these words, but she did not report it to her superiors, because she knew that if Concubine Qi knew about it, these people would definitely have no chance of survival.

"Thank you, Mammy. We won't dare to say it again!"

"Okay, just be attentive and serve me!"

Just as Concubine Qi had finished packing, she received a letter from outside the mansion and felt confused.

"Mother will be coming to the palace in a few days, why do you need to send a letter first?"

When she opened it, she found it was a letter from her father sent back from the Western Regions. It was a letter addressed to her alone and was forwarded to the palace.

Concubine Qi was very excited. She hadn't heard from her father for some time, so she opened it immediately.

"Light the lamp! I am going to read the letter from my father!"

The palace maid immediately came over with a candlestick and placed it next to the couch.

Concubine Qi ate fruit while reading the letter, and the smile on her face never disappeared.

It turned out that the general had completed an important mission in the Western Regions, so he put the family letter and military intelligence together and sent them back to the capital at an express speed of 800 miles.

The letter said that this was a great achievement and the general felt that she could be granted a title and that Concubine Qi should be allowed to serve His Majesty in the palace.

Concubine Qi folded the letter and put it in her dressing box, her heart full of anticipation.

Shen Yanzhi also received two letters.

I am currently reading it in the imperial study.

One letter was sent by Jia Bin, and the other was sent by Amu.

Shen Yanzhi first opened Amu's letter to read.

Amu's handwriting is still not very beautiful, and he talks a lot. With so many details written down, the letter must be an inch thick.

Shen Yanzhi didn't have the patience to read it, so he asked Xiaowu to come up and read it.

Xiaowu began to read.

It turned out that after Chu Shu and Xie Taichu arrived in the Western Regions, Xie Taichu refused to go any further, saying that the situation in the Western Regions was very complicated and he wanted to stay to help Chu Shu.

Shen Yanzhi had also received the secret information before, and Doctor Xie had acted first and reported to the emperor later. It was impossible for him to be rushed on a road of 800 miles, right?
This Xie Taichu might just run away! Where can we find him then?

Amu and Xie Taichu were also old acquaintances. While hugging Xie Taichu, he smiled and said to Chu Shu: "I told you not to leave at the beginning, and that you would come back sooner or later. You didn't believe me, and now you're back, aren't you?"

Xie Taichu nodded and said, “You don’t know yet, as soon as he left, the assassin targeted him and chased him directly into the palace.”

Amu's eyes widened: "Kill you, why?"

Chu Shu originally thought that Amu would know, but now seeing that Amu seemed to be genuinely surprised, he could only smile bitterly and said, "We don't know either. Otherwise, how could we have returned to the Western Regions again?"

Xie Taichu put his arm around Amu's shoulders and said, "Is Chu Shu your good brother?"

Amu immediately patted his chest with his hand, raised his head and swore to his God.

"Closer than blood brothers!"

"If someone wants to harm our brothers, should we help them get revenge?"

Amu waved his hand: "Of course!"

Xie Taichu stayed there for this reason.

Chu Shu said to Xie Taichu: "Since we are here, we should go to pay a visit to the general first." But Xie Taichu was unwilling to go.

"Who are you? Who am I? You are no longer an envoy. You are just an imperial censor. What am I, an imperial physician, doing to meet him?"

Chu Shu felt that he should still go. After all, the general would definitely get the news once he got here.

Amu smiled and said, "I'll go with you guys, it wouldn't be bad to have a good meal with you!"

So the group arrived at the military camp. The general was quite considerate and gave them some face. He knew that Chu Shu might have another secret mission for His Majesty this time, so he asked a lot of questions at the table.

Xie Taichu sighed and said, "General, do you still need to ask? Who knows the current situation in the Western Region better than you?"

When the general heard this, he immediately asked, "Is it because of the matter about that concubine of Daan?"

Xie Taichu did not answer, but said: "Now that Daan's plan has been exposed and the spy network in the capital has been destroyed, this is a good thing for us in Daliang. The key lies in Daan's attitude!"

The general immediately said, "That's right. Da'an even sent people to test my attitude and gave me a lot of gifts. I didn't want their gifts, so I let them go! Humph, they have the guts to plant spies in the palace!"

At this point, perhaps it was too obvious, so he added: "As a minister, even if you are away, you are still concerned about your Majesty's safety! Such behavior is hateful!"

Everyone present was listening and drinking from their glasses. Everyone knew that he was refusing to accept the wine because he was the father of Concubine Qi. In his heart, he was hoping to have a concubine!

Xie Taichu didn't think so, and immediately began to flatter the general, praising him like he was sitting on a cloud. In the end, he became the most reliable person in the entire court.

The general was happy and talked more.

"People like Da'an rely on Persia. Now that we have reached a peace agreement, we have not received the expected benefits. Persia has blamed Da'an for the failure. The king of Da'an is also very upset!"

Xie Taichu said, "We all know this, otherwise why would His Majesty send two of us here?"

The general heard this and burped, "Are you here for Persia?"

"Persia, that's hard to say."

The general waved his hand and said, "What's wrong with that? Persia is currently vying for power internally. Aren't we just sitting back and reaping the benefits?"

After this, Xie Taichu tried many more times, but this great general simply sat on this position for nothing, and Amu knew what he said a long time ago.

But we did establish a good relationship, and it's easier to talk to each other in the future.

Chu Shu wanted to help Xie Taichu back, but Xie Taichu was not guilty at all, so he stood up and said, "It's okay."

After returning to Amu's house, Xie Taichu immediately asked: "Amu, why didn't you speak at the banquet?"

Seeing that there was no one around, Amu said, "The general has accepted all his things. Don't take everything he said today to heart."

Chu Shu listened, thought for a moment and said, "Since our last interaction, I feel that this general doesn't seem like a scheming person."

Amu laughed and said, "If it were an ordinary person, would he be able to get along well with the people of Great Amber? For a talent like me, I dare not underestimate him."

"Haha, that's interesting. Didn't he trick me into working so hard tonight?"

Xie Taichu didn't feel angry, but excited instead. He always liked to compete with others in wits!
A'Mu said calmly: "I advise you to be quiet, that's the general, don't mess with him!"

Xie Taichu disagreed: "He has already lied to me today, so I can't lie to him. If I pretend to be drunk, he might get up now."

Inside the military camp, the general was drinking sobering soup just as Xie Taichu had said, and he looked quite sober.

"It's strange that His Majesty sent two people here without notifying us. We better be on guard."
