Chapter 696 Hole Cards
Just when the two princes were getting ready to go, the eldest princess' mansion was not idle either.

"Are they going to do something?" Under the flickering candlelight, the eldest princess changed from her usual kind expression, and her eyes, which seemed cloudy and no longer sharp as before, were full of majesty and coldness.

Many people think that the reason why the eldest princess's mansion has a detached status is because of the emperor's respect for the elder sister. They have forgotten how the eldest princess used her wisdom and iron blood to help the emperor in the shortest possible time. Take a firm stand.

The emperor's reliance is not only due to respect and gratitude, but also has an element of awe in it.

How can a person who is in awe of the emperor be an ordinary person?
A man in black knelt in front of the eldest princess, and replied, "Yes, King Zhao and King Qin have entangled tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and even mobilized part of the troops of the Northwest Camp to prepare to go to the palace."

"How many are left in the city?" The eldest princess is not worried about the palace, since the emperor has notified her, he just asked her to guard Jinling City.

"There is no change in the city, but as far as I know, the soldiers from the two prefectures and the dead soldiers trained by the two prefectures have not been dispatched this time. The number of people is about [-], and there may be more." The man in black said.

The eldest princess calculated, because Shaoye was responsible for the safety of the hunting this time, so nearly half of the Wucheng soldiers and horses went to the hunting grounds, and about half of the forbidden dragon guards also went to the hunting grounds.

If three thousand government soldiers plus dead soldiers, she can still deal with it.

"The order goes on, those old guys who have rested for a long time, it's time to come out and exercise." The eldest princess said coldly.

The man in black took the order to retreat, and Mother Jiang stepped forward and said, "Princess, you should rest for a while."

The eldest princess said: "Today is a good day."

It's the day when the eldest princess's mansion establishes an heir, and everything is ready. However, those two bastards insist on destroying it, so they can make a fuss and see if they can come up with tricks.

These two idiots think that the prince is gone, and this land belongs to them?As everyone knows, the emperor never thought of passing the throne to them from the very beginning.

Stupid, stupid and greedy.

"That's right, Miss Lu officially became Princess Ningxi of the Princess' Mansion today." Nanny Jiang also regretted,
"However, sooner or later, Miss Lu will be a member of our eldest princess's mansion." Mother Jiang comforted her again.

The candlelight in Qingfeng Hall was dim, quiet and silent, Lu Xiaoning woke up after taking a nap, went to the inner hall to see the emperor, the emperor's condition is still stable.

Concubine Xian gave Lu Xiaoning a wink, and the two left the inner hall.

"Xiao Ning, tell me the truth, can the emperor survive this time?" Concubine Xian was always worried.

Once the emperor can't make it through, and the affairs behind her are not properly arranged, I'm afraid she won't live long. No matter whether it is King Zhao ascending the throne or King Qin ascending the throne, they will not let her live. There is only one way for her to be Forced to be buried.

It is not without such precedents in history. A concubine who is favored but has no power and is not tolerated by the new monarch is a decent way to die. After death, she can be buried with the emperor, but for the new monarch who wants to exclude dissidents, this It's a way of dealing with people's tongue, claiming to the public that it was requested by the concubine herself, and the new king is just fulfilling the loyalty of the concubine.

Lu Xiaoning replied cautiously: "Under normal circumstances, I can guarantee it, but now is an extraordinary period, no one knows what will happen next, and whether the emperor can control his emotions well, empress, you should I know that the emperor's disease cannot be stimulated."

Concubine Xian nodded in disappointment. It is impossible not to be stimulated. If the two princes really rebelled, can the emperor not be stimulated?
"Your Majesty, I will do my best." Lu Xiaoning couldn't bear to see Concubine Xian feel sad, if something went wrong, she still had one more chance to use the Great Return Pill.That Da Huan Dan can only take up to three pills per person, and after three pills, it will have no effect.

Concubine Xian held Lu Xiaoning's hand: "Xiao Ning, I can only entrust you with the matters concerning the emperor."

"Niang Niang, this is the duty of a humble minister." Lu Xiaoning said.

The two held hands and were speechless. They could predict the situation they were about to face, but they didn't know much, and they didn't know what to expect.

When the first ray of morning light illuminated the land, the palace was surrounded. Looking out, there were many banners and flags, and there were so many people and horses densely packed.

And there are only [-] people guarding the safety of the hunting ground.

Everyone in the palace trembled in fright. Is this going to be a mutiny?

Chen Siyao rushed to his father's room in a hurry: "Father, what should we do? How could King Zhao and King Qin do this?"

Chen Chengxiang closed his eyes and meditated, the old god said: "Don't worry, this day won't change."

"How can you not be in a hurry? Father, didn't you go out to take a look? The other party has a lot of people coming. If there is a real fight, His Royal Highness King Yan will definitely not be able to beat them." Chen Siyao said.

Chen Chengxiang snorted and smiled: "War is not about whoever has more people wins. Don't underestimate His Royal Highness Yan Wang, let alone the emperor. That's all, go back and treat your sisters with peace of mind." Come on, don't go out if you have nothing to do."

"Father, are you so confident?" Chen Siyao didn't have this kind of confidence. She only knew that once Zhao Wang and Qin Wang succeeded, many people would be in trouble, including the prime minister's mansion. The elder brother would have to marry Yun Ni. And she might have to marry Huangfu Shaoxuan or Huangfu Shaofeng.This is still a good result, and the bad result is the destruction of the prime minister's mansion.

Chen Chengxiang looked at his anxious daughter, he was really afraid that she would die of worry, he sighed and said, "Let's put it this way, the Zhao family army has actually returned."

One hundred thousand soldiers of the Zhao family are brave and good at fighting. Even if King Zhao pulls out the entire Northwest Camp to fight, it may not be enough for them to fight. The biggest support of the Zhao Palace is the Northwest Camp. Zhao's army is one of the emperor's trump cards. As for the emperor's hole card, there is more than this one.

Therefore, Zhao Wang and Qin Wang were looking for their own death, throwing themselves into the trap, and plunged into the trap set by the emperor.

Chen Siyao's eyes lit up, and his brows were beaming with joy: "The Zhao family army is back?"

Chen Chengxiang glared at her: "Keep your voice down, this matter must not be made public."

Chen Siyao understood and nodded vigorously, she would never say anything.Zhao Jiajun came back, so there was no problem, Chen Siyao's heart that was hanging in his throat finally fell back into his stomach.

Prime Minister Chen had to say a few more words: "When you leave this door, should you worry or worry? Do you understand what father means?"

Chen Siyao said: "Father don't worry, daughter understands."

In this palace, there are Princess Yunni, Prince Zhao, and Huangfu Shaofeng from Prince Qin's residence. We can't let them know what cards the emperor is holding. Only by cooperating with the emperor's tricks can the show be wonderful and beautiful.
