Chapter 154
Sitting on the dragon chair, Emperor Dongling watched Zhao Han pull Xiao Jue out of the imperial study, a gloomy expression gradually appeared on his face.

Putting his hands down on the position on his chest, Emperor Dong Ling suddenly felt the annoyance in his chest disappear.

The servant who had been holding his breath before and didn't dare to take a breath, found that Emperor Dongling didn't read the memorial, didn't speak, and just sat quietly on the dragon chair in a daze, so he tiptoed over, " Your Majesty, the tea is cold."

After finishing speaking, the servant cleverly changed Emperor Dongling to a cup of warm tea, "Your Majesty, drink a cup of hot tea to warm up your body. The slave sees that your complexion is not very good, do you need to call the imperial physician over to show you? "

Under the constant urging of the servant, Emperor Dongling finally recovered from his dazed state.

It's just that although his eyes have regained his clarity, his face is still full of exhaustion, "Tell me, did I do anything wrong in the execution just now?"

Being questioned by Emperor Dongling, the servant looked up at Emperor Dongling holding up his teacup, took a sip, and then respectfully said, "Your Majesty, how could you be wrong? In just a few more days, the Second Prince will surely I understand your majesty's feelings for him."

"It would be great if it was as easy as you said. You didn't see the resentful eyes that the second brother cast on me before he left." Emperor Dongling took another sip of tea, sighed wearily and shook his head.

Seeing the tiredness on Emperor Dongling's face, the waiter felt that Emperor Dongling's heart would be the same as what was shown on his face. What Emperor Dongling wanted at this moment was to let out the feelings in his heart, not to sigh. the safety of others.

So the servant shut up very consciously, and stood beside Emperor Dongling silently.

The imperial study room returned to its previous tranquility.

In a quiet environment, you can vaguely hear the wind whistling past the window, as well as the sound of footsteps from far to near.

The guards guarding outside the imperial study room saw a group of people rushing over, and another notification came from the imperial study room which had been quiet for a while.

"Your Majesty, there is an emergency at the border."

As soon as he heard that it was something about the border, Emperor Dongling immediately took off the tiredness on his face and put on a dark expression.

Rubbing his temples with some headaches, after Emperor Dong Ling waved his hand, the imperial study room soon entered the well-dressed soldiers.

"My Majesty, Xi Cang, who was originally guarding the border, retreated a month ago. Now that there is no threat in the border, General Han asked his subordinates to come back quickly and report to the Emperor."

Emperor Dongling was already prepared to hear bad news, but who would have heard great news!

"Everyone in Xi Cang has retreated?!" Emperor Dong Ling couldn't hide his surprise.

……

Located in a newly built mansion not far from the imperial city, Bai Yi was following Xia Zhi right now, and took a tour of the entire viewing garden.

"Did Emperor Dong Ling give any orders after that?" Xia Zhi walked for a long time, and finally sat down in a pavilion built among flowers.

Perhaps there is still the chill of winter, and the flowers that have already bloomed in other places fell around the pavilion, and the flowers bloomed a little later than other places.

Bai Yi slightly lowered his eyelids, covering up the fascination with the red eyes that he had just looked at Xia Zhi, "Emperor Dong Ling is just overjoyed, and has not given any orders yet."

Xia Zhi frowned and nodded, she took the stove that Bai Yi handed over, and put her eyes into the distance.

Not far from the pavilion, there happened to be a rockery, and in front of the rockery, Su Zijin and Ning Yan happened to be standing.

Xia Zhi watched the two of them standing in front of the rockery and talking about things with smiles on their faces, as if they were only talking about joy, "Emperor Dongling didn't say that he would let Su Zijin into the palace?"

It was beyond Xia Zhi's expectation that Su Zijin would be so leisurely.

Bai Yi also followed Xia Zhi's gaze and looked over there, "Even though Emperor Dongling didn't call Su Zijin into the palace, after he heard the news yesterday, he called the prince, and then the Ministry of Rites, It seems that I have received the order of Emperor Dong Ling and is rushing to make a set of generals to serve."

After listening to Bai Yi's words, Xia Zhi's eyes darkened, "Xiao Jue was imprisoned yesterday, and Emperor Dongling could only let Xiao Yu go to discuss matters. At the Ministry of Rites, Emperor Dongling probably wanted another imperial decree to send Everything is settled."

"It's a pity that our people couldn't find out what Emperor Dong Ling and Xiao Yu said in the imperial study." Bai Yi turned his head and thought for a while, and finally sighed slightly.

Xia Zhi pursed her lips tightly, and there seemed to be a hint of sarcasm in her dark eyes, "It doesn't matter if you didn't find out the news. When the imperial decree comes down, you will know everything. In short, you can't get out of those people."

Based on Xia Zhi's understanding of Emperor Dong Ling, the left and right were just trying to push Su Zijin back to the border, and then exchange Han Poli back.

The tightly pursed lips rose slightly, and the meaning of sarcasm became more and more obvious, "Emperor Dong Ling is just in a hurry." If it wasn't for the idle panic, there would be no need to separate Han Poli and Su Zijin after something happened. People exchanged between the border and Kyoto.

Bai Yi listened to Xia Zhi's words and nodded in agreement, "That's right. He also imprisoned the entire Han family and didn't deal with it. Anyone with a little brain in the capital now knows what Emperor Dongling said. What is the meaning of the exercise. On the one hand, it is easy to figure out, and on the other hand, it does not want people to figure it out. Emperor Dong Ling is really contradictory."

Xia Zhi grimaced and clutched the stove in her hands tightly. It's already spring, but she could still feel the chill from the surroundings.

"It doesn't necessarily have to be a contradiction, maybe Emperor Dongling is really in a tangle right now." Xia Zhi seemed to feel better as she spoke, "I asked you to arrange for the people who robbed the prison to be arranged." Is it gone?"

Bai Yi heard Xia Zhi's implication, and the same smile as Xia Zhi's appeared on his face, "It's been arranged. It's been robbed several times, Miss, you can rest assured that this prisoner The people are almost replaced by us.”

On the day when the Han Mansion was ransacked, Xia Zhi went to Lanju to ask Zhang Yun to pass the news to Han Poli, and then arranged for her own people to disturb the sight, making Emperor Dongling mistakenly think that Han Poli hadn't received it yet. The news, and the people who came to rob the prison are only people raised by the Han family in the capital.

After all, they went to the prison to rob several times without success, Emperor Dong Ling would never have thought that those people were actually arranged by Xia Zhi.

Xia Zhi continued to watch indifferently as Su Zijin and Ning Yan finished talking over the rockery, and then they walked towards the pavilion at the same time.

Bai also kept observing Xia Zhi and where Xia Zhi's eyes fell, so when he saw Su Zijin and Ning Yan approaching the pavilion, he immediately stopped talking.

Ning Yan's evil eyes gave Xia Zhi a happy look, and when he looked at Bai Yi again, Ning Yan frowned again, showing a dislike that didn't match Xie Mei's eyes.

"Little Zhi'er, why do you only bring Bai Yi with you, it's so boring."

Bai Yi listened to Ning Yan's run on him, and because of Su Zijin's presence, Bai Yi swallowed back what he wanted to refute.

Behind others, she can be rude to young master Ning Yan, but in front of others, Bai Yi has to pretend to be a servant girl, even if Su Zijin already knows her identity, even if Bai Yi's real identity is only A waiter.

Xia Zhi seemed to sense Bai Yi's abnormality, and gave Ning Yan a funny look, "There are so many people, they will be noisy."

Ning Yan smiled and walked to Xia Zhi's side and sat down. Su Zijin followed behind him and sat on the other side of Ning Yan.

Su Zijin inadvertently raised her eyes to look at Xia Zhi, and when she saw the bright red in her eyes, she suddenly froze for a moment.Fortunately, it didn't pay attention to him.

"You can follow you in the mansion, but if you want to go out, you have to bring more people with you. Your current status is different from usual." Ning Yan rarely blamed Xia Zhi again.

Seeing the sudden flash of light in Xia Zhi's eyes, Su Zijin suddenly took a deep breath.

It wasn't because he was infatuated with Xia Zhi, but because Su Zijin discovered that Xia Zhi and Ning Yan were really brother and sister, with the same red clothes and the same enchanting feeling, and this feeling became more obvious the more Su Zijin looked at it.

"That identity, do you think I will care?" Xia Zhi only repeated the word "identity" in Ning Yan's words.As if smiling with disdain, Xia Zhi quickly diverted Ning Yan's attention.

"What did you talk about over there just now, and why are you smiling so happily?"

After being asked by Xia Zhi, Ning Yan and Su Zijin's attention was quickly diverted by Xia Zhi.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and finally it was Su Zijin who had been silent just now, who said, "Because I heard something very extraordinary."

Seeing that both Xia Zhi and Bai Yi let go of their puzzled eyes, Su Zijin didn't hold back, and said directly to them, "I'm the only one who has received news about this for the time being. You will definitely be shocked when you hear it. Our Han General, on the second day after Xicang retreated, the troops returned to the court."

Xia Zhi opened her eyes slightly, although she concealed her surprise, her face was still calm, but this expression was enough to show her surprise.

"The battle hasn't been fought yet, so why..." Bai Yi was also frightened, but she was a little more exaggerated than Xia Zhi, covering her grown-up mouth with her hands.

Frowning slightly, after the initial surprise, Xia Zhi's face was solemn, "Xicang sent troops, and it was because of Mo Zhuyue at first. It should be Prime Minister Xi Cang's intention to withdraw troops now. Such a simple reason , if Emperor Dong Ling knew about Brother Han's actions, I'm afraid..."

Ning Yan shook his head with a smile on his face, "I'm afraid not. You can think about it boldly, why Prime Minister Xi Cang would let all the soldiers and horses withdraw from the border, and General Han, when he returns to the capital at this time, will he take him with him?" How many soldiers and horses are on board?"

Being reminded by Ning Yan, a light suddenly flashed in Xia Zhi's mind.

The pupils shrank slightly, Xia Zhi really couldn't hide her surprise this time.
