After returning home, the Crown Princess can no longer hide her vest!

Chapter 618 Unpredictable
Speaking of this, Concubine Li couldn't help but sigh.

Both mother and son are very clear about the situation they are facing now.

The position of the crown prince was secured with great difficulty. If the emperor were to pass away at this time, the country would easily become unstable...

In addition, the Xichuan army joined forces with the grassland tribe to cause chaos on the border.

Concubine Li looked at her son with kindness and patted his hands, "Son, don't worry and do it boldly. Mother and your grandparents will always support you."

Her son had lost a lot of weight recently, and Concubine Li felt distressed when she saw it. She quickly asked her personal nanny to bring the soup and persuaded the prince to drink a few sips.

"I heard that you met the Marquis of Xuanping yesterday?" Concubine Li stirred the soup in the bowl, "What did the Marquis say?"

Ye Chuanxin paused for a moment and sighed, "It's still the same as before. I'm too old to lead troops into battle."

"It seems that everything will have to wait until the prince comes back."

Concubine Li put down half a bowl of soup calmly, gritted her teeth and whispered, "The son of the Marquis Xuanping is still in the Jiangnan area. I don't know when he will come back."

"Everyone knows that more than half of the soldiers in the army now come from the Mu family army. The situation is so critical, Xuanping Hou..."

"You just gave the order directly. Do you think he dares to disobey the order?"

"Mother." The prince's face darkened. "You can't do this. We need to convince people with reason! If you force them, you will end up like the deposed prince."

"Does Mu Zhiyuan dare?" Concubine Li raised her voice slightly, her expression full of displeasure.

"Mother." The prince advised earnestly, "The Mu family has had many generals for generations, and the army has a deep foundation. Although the Mu family army has been dispersed and divided into various military camps, with the ability of the prince, the Mu family army can still be the brave Mu family army as before with just a call."

"Huaizhi and I have always been good friends. Mother, please do not interfere in this matter. It will ruin our friendship."

"Now is the time when the court needs people. With Huaizhi's ability, if he really helps me, it will be like adding wings to a tiger."

The prince was thinking about it, but he didn't say it in the end.

Once you offend Mu Huaizhi, it would be equivalent to offending Lord Jade Fox who is elusive and has infinite energy!
Then he would really be following in the footsteps of the deposed crown prince!
Ye Chuanxin shuddered and said quickly, "Mother, please don't worry about the affairs of the previous dynasty. You should pay more attention to the health of the emperor in your spare time."

He didn't even dare to think about getting on bad terms with Jade Fox.

To put it bluntly, the position of the crown prince was snatched from the emperor by Yu Hu.

The prince consoled Concubine Li with a few more words and gave her many instructions before leaving.

The personal maid brought in hot tea and saw Concubine Li sitting under the lamp for a long time without saying anything. She couldn't help but ask cautiously, "Is your Majesty worried?"

Concubine Li felt mixed emotions and felt very uncomfortable.

It would be fine if he didn't dare to offend his good friends, but now even Mu Huaizhi's father and uncle don't dare to say a harsh word. Will he not dare to underestimate even the dog in Mu Huaizhi's family in the future?
It's not easy to be a crown prince, and it won't be easy to be an emperor in the future either. My son is timid and hesitant in doing things. With such a character, won't he be manipulated by court officials in the future?

"Mammy, I am the prince's biological mother. Everything I do is for the prince's sake."

"Of course." The nanny smiled and nodded, comforting her, "Your Highness is a filial child, and his heart is full of you, the queen."

"Xin'er is my daughter, and I don't know whose personality she resembles." Concubine Li spoke softly, with a hint of sadness in her voice, "She is smart, but sometimes she is too kind..."

It is not a good thing for an emperor to be too kind.

"Mu Huaizhi, if we row like this, how long will it take us to get there?" This place is a million miles away from the next pier.

Ye Wuchen squatted at the stern, with a hint of sadness in his eyes, looking up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, feeling miserable. Mu Feng, who was rowing the boat manually, said unhappily, "Be content, Jiujin and the others haven't been able to get on board yet!"

Because a large ship exploded midway, there was a fierce fight and the ship was abandoned, the lifeboat that was captured could barely seat only six people.

Therefore, Huo Zeyuan, Zhan Shaohuang, Chang Qing, and Jiujin Baliang could only find a few relatively intact wooden boards to tie behind the boat and drift along.

It's a bit miserable, but at least there is a lifeboat to provide temporary shelter, and occasionally I can exchange places with the poor children floating on the wooden board.

Ye Wuchen looked at Mu Zhao bitterly. His good brother had a dull expression from beginning to end and it was impossible to tell what he meant.

Maybe they have to use a small boat to row all the way to the next dock...

Just tell me something for sure!
Feeling someone's eyes constantly glancing at him, Mu Zhao glanced back calmly and said faintly, "Don't worry, there will be a boat to pick us up before dawn."

Is it true or not? Ye Wuchen wanted to squeeze closer to Lu Qian, but he raised his hand to stop him.

Lu Qian said helplessly, "Just sit still and don't move around. Be careful not to fall over."

The situation is already bad enough. Lord Lu doesn't want any more accidents to happen before rescue arrives.

Suddenly, there was a sound of flapping wings across the night sky, accompanied by the cry of an eagle.

The expressions of several people tensed, and Aunt Ya hugged Zhou Yueming tightly, holding a hidden weapon in her hand ready to strike.

"It's okay, it's the war eagle that sent the message." Mu Zhao hurriedly stopped the nervous people.

He raised his arm and a small war eagle with pure black hair landed steadily on his arm.

Mu Zhao took the secret letter from under its claws, picked up the beeswax and took a look at it.

No one on the boat dared to speak, and just stared at him eagerly.

Mu Zhao thought deeply for a few seconds, then he took out a... wooden pencil from his arms, quickly wrote two lines on the back of the paper, and tied it under the eagle's claws again.

With a gentle wave of his arm, the little war eagle cried out and flew rapidly into the sky.

"What a fast speed." Ye Wuchen was slightly surprised. This should be the tool used by the Mu family to pass messages to each other in the army.

It is said that training war eagles is also a technical job, and only a few elders of the Mu family can do it. The war eagles trained by the Mu family can fly as fast as sharp arrows, and are extremely flexible in the air, and can avoid bows and arrows and large birds in many directions.

"Huaizhi, that pen of yours? Let me see it." Ye Wuchen glanced at the wooden pencil in Mu Zhao's hand.

It's small, thin and long, and looks very strange, but it feels very convenient and easy to use.

Mu Huaizhi pretended not to hear anything and put the wooden pen back into his pocket. Nothing that Lang'er gave him was bad! Would he tell anyone about this? Impossible!

"News has come from the capital that Xichuan has gathered several major grassland forces and is approaching the border town." Mu Huaizhi directly informed the contents of the secret letter, and Ye Wuchen, Lu Qian and others' faces changed one after another.

"How many?"

"According to conservative estimates, the vanguard force has approximately 200,000 people." Mu Zhao looked as calm as ever.

Ye Wuchen took a breath of cold air.

This is just the number of people who are vanguards. Mu Huaizhi is quite calm!
