Peerless Forensic Doctor: Leng Wang's Waste Chai Concubine

Chapter 55

Those angry eyes stared aggrievedly, not only did not have the lethality that they should have, but instead looked more charming and charming.

Xuanyuan Che couldn't help squinting his eyes, and tightened his hand holding the wine glass.

He raised his head and drank the wine in the glass.

Under the moonlight, the expression on his handsome face was soft, and the pale pink wine stains stained his thin lips that were always slightly pursed, making him look very pretty and delicious.

Yun Xiran looked at it, and suddenly felt that her throat was a little dry.

"What?" Sensing her gaze, Xuanyuan Che turned his head away and slightly raised his eyebrows.

"...It's nothing." Yun Xiran's heart skipped a beat, she stuck out her tongue secretly, propped her head on her hands and looked up at the sky, forcing herself to stay away from that alluring face.

This man...why does he look so good-looking?

"Hey, Xuanyuan Che." Yun Xiran said casually, "You don't look like the emperor at all."

Xia Ping's expression changed suddenly when he heard that, just as he was about to stop Yun Xiran, she had already spit out the rest of her sentence.

"Do you look like your mother?"

As soon as the words fell, Xia Feng's face became even paler.

It's over, it's over, Princess Xiran has stepped into the prince's minefield!
Xuanyuan Che's hand holding the wine glass suddenly tightened, and a cold and stern light flashed across his well-understood eyes.

Yun Xiran didn't realize it, she still looked up at the moon leisurely.A gust of cold wind blew by, making her dizzy.

Shaking her head in a daze, but forgetting that she was injured, she grinned her teeth as her chest hurt again.

The indifference on Xuanyuan Che's expression dissipated for a bit, and after a long while, he heard a faint reply.

"kindness."

Yun Xiran blinked enviously, "She must be pretty."

Xuanyuan Che obviously didn't want to discuss this topic, he handed Yun Xiran's wine glass that he had snatched earlier, and poured her a full glass in a rather gentlemanly manner.

Yun Xiran chuckled, "Are you allowed to drink again?"

Xuanyuan Che cast a sideways glance at her, "Use this to gag you."

"..." Rolling his eyes, as if he was afraid that he would go back on his word, Yun Xiran hastily snatched it to his lips and took a sip, then smacked it with a smile.

The moonlight is charming, and it sprinkles a piece of cold silver light, shining on the square eaves of Weiyang Palace.

The man with clear eyebrows and the lazy and pretty woman chatted one after another.

"Taking the country, you can turn the world upside down with bare hands, but do all of you men have a dream of being a hero?"

Xuanyuan Che curled his lips, his expression indifferent. "perhaps."

"What's so good about being an emperor, apart from gaining power, you will have to be trapped in this palace for the rest of your life. There are too many things you can't help yourself." Yun Xiran's voice was laziness, but she said something shocking.

Xuanyuan Che didn't answer, but asked instead: "Prince Yun's mansion will be destroyed, where are you going after that?"

"I don't know. The mountains are high and the rivers are long. I heard that the scenery in Xiyue is beautiful, and the mountains in Beidi are harsh. Maybe I will travel to these places."

"Aren't you going to stay?" Xuanyuan Che asked casually.

Yun Xiran laughed immediately. "Why do you stay here?" She pouted her lips mischievously, and teased, "Are you playing for me as a queen?"

Xuanyuan Che was taken aback for a moment, but before he could speak, Yun Xiran quickly waved his hands in disgust.

"It's boring, and arguing with a group of women is too boring."

She described the pinnacle of power that men most yearn for in the world as boring, and the position that women adore was boring.

Pursing her lips, her slightly cold eyes looked at the gorgeous wine in her hand.

At that moment, he wanted to ask her what seemed more worthwhile things in her heart.

However, the wine is fragrant, the night is dark, and the breeze is blowing, which wakes up the mind.

In the end, he didn't ask anything.

Yun Xiran, who had cultivated in Weiyang Palace, recovered very quickly. During this period, apart from the emperor who came to see her every morning, occasionally the queen Zhao Feiyu would bring many concubines to talk to her.

But Yun Xiran doesn't like them very much, and there are many right and wrong places where there are many women.

She was originally inclined to recuperate, but she really couldn't bear the noise of a group of Yingying Yanyan.He always pretended to be weak and tired when the queen came to see him, and as time passed, fewer of them came.

But it was precisely because Yun Xiran looked so sick in her sick attire that Xuanyuan Han let her stay in Weiyang Palace for an extra month.

Xiao Jiao was sent to serve in the palace, while Huan'er remained in Prince Yun's mansion.

Yun Xiran's wound was almost healed, so she clamored all day to go out to play.But the autumn wind was bleak outside, Yun Xiran's complexion was not particularly good, Xiao Jiao refused to let her go out at all.

"I want to drink milk..." Yun Xiran lay back on the chair, like an octopus out of water, lazy and lifeless, with her mouth pouted high.

"Princess, this is the sixth canister this month, which was brought in by the maidservant of Prince Yun's Mansion." Xiao Jiao took a soft blanket to cover her body expressionlessly, "It's cold, so I can't drink it anymore."

"Your lord said it again?" Yun Xiran pulled out her ears and sighed.

Xiao Jiao didn't speak, and heard Yun Xiran say again: "What time is it already?"

"A quarter of noon."

Yun Xiran looked out the window with some doubts, "Didn't you come today?"

Ever since she lived in Weiyang Palace, she was usually the first one to come to the emperor's house when he got off, and there was never a single delay.Didn't come today, could it be... the morning court hasn't come yet?

Rubbing her chin with her hand, Yun Xiran frowned and thought about what happened recently.

The power in the crown prince's hands is not like it used to be able to cover the sky with one hand, and the ministers in the court have also seen the signs, and those who support the prince's party are much more peaceful.

The hidden stakes arranged by Xuanyuan Che are basically effective where they should work, and the Nanxia Kingdom is prosperous and strong, and the people are happy, and the only thing that can pose a threat to Nanxia...

The expression in Yun Xiran's eyes deepened.

Only the border countries have invaded!

"You go to the Chaozheng Palace to inquire, and some news will come back."

Xiao Jiao was stunned for a moment, and went in response.

After Yun Xiran finished his lunch alone in Weiyang Palace, Xiao Jiao just came back from the Chaozheng Palace, and when he entered the door, his expression looked a little dignified.

Yun Xiran was somewhat aware that his guess just now was correct.

"Princess, the battle report from the front, Beidi invaded from the frontier area, and attacked the four cities of Nanxia from Xianyang city area. The general Zhenguo who guarded the frontier guarded three cities, and the last one...may be in danger."

Yun Xiran frowned, and analyzed unhurriedly: "The area of ​​Beidi is cold, so I am afraid that such a menacing attack has been prepared for a long time. It should be more than just a battle report at this time..."

She paused, a trace of thought flashed across her watery eyes. "I'm afraid there is a disparity in the number of troops, so I'm here to ask for reinforcements."

Yun Xiran's conjecture was correct, and there were still voices of debate in the government hall at this time.

A group of princes stood in front of the courtiers with different expressions.

Prime Minister Zuo Fu Lin took the lead in reprimanding: "Although General Zhen Guo has been guarding the frontier, Beidi's army has always been stronger than ours in Nanxia. It must be because he has neglected his duties because he is far away from the capital and has no one to monitor him. It's going to be a catastrophe!"

Fu Lin had always been at odds with the general, and now that something happened to the city guarded by the general, he was naturally the first to stand up and step on the other's feet.

However, Taifu Lin retorted disapprovingly: "Beidi's wolfish ambitions for me in Nanxia did not exist in one day. General Zhenguo is far away but his heart is attached to the imperial court. I think that this battle must be because the people of Beidi are well prepared. It just caught us off guard!"

The three tripods were separated in the court hall. Some people thought it was the mistake of General Zhen Guo, and some people thought it was the unkind people from Beidi that caught Nan Xia off guard.

Emperor Xuanyuan Che's complexion was not good. He was sitting on the dragon chair, and his shrewd and sharp eyes looking down at everyone were exhausted.

Xuanyuanhan didn't sleep very well these days, and there was still some bruising in his eyes, perhaps because the lingering shock of Yun Xiran's injury had not dissipated.

Eunuch Xu stood behind the dragon chair with his head down and watched, feeling a little distressed.

"General Zhen Guo has been in the army for 30 years. He is a veteran who stayed from the previous dynasty. I can see his loyalty. Frontier wars are tight, and victory or defeat is common. Don't be too impatient."

Xuanyuan Che pinched the center of his brows wearily, "Let's retreat first, King Yun will stay here."

"Yes."

Xuanyuan Che walked out of the gate of Qinzheng Palace, and saw Xia Ping with a somewhat dejected expression at the corner.

"how?"

Xia Ping rubbed his head, "It's Princess Xiran who sent a message, asking you to go to Weiyang Palace when you have time."

Xuanyuan Che said "En", then turned his head and glanced at him lightly, "I'm talking about you, what's wrong with the expression on your face?"

"..." Xia Ping choked, suddenly like an eggplant beaten by frost, and the look in his eyes dimmed. "The younger brother of the humble position is marching with the general. The frontier war is tight, and the humble position... the humble position is uneasy."

"General Zhen Guo is a veteran. No one knows how to fight this battle better than him. It doesn't matter whether he is a man or a soldier. It is not for nothing that he is respected by the army. Just wait."

Xuanyuan Che's tone was indifferent, and his long and narrow eyes were calm and unwavering. However, these words that were not comforting but more reassuring than ordinary comforting made Xia Ping let go of his suspended heart for no reason.

"Yes, my lord." Xia Ping grinned.

After Yun Xiran finished her lunch, Xiao Jiao went outside to the imperial dining room to bring her her favorite jujube cake, but she was still lazily lying on her back on the chair.

Gao Yang just came to see her body, and said that most of the congestion on her chest has disappeared. These days, be careful not to get cold, and continue to take the medicine for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, and she will recover soon.

When I moved my feet, most of the tingling pain disappeared.

It is true what the ancients said about lying down for a hundred days with injured muscles and bones.

When Xuanyuan Che opened the door and entered Weiyang Palace, Yun Xiran's bright eyes were half-closed, as if she was about to fall asleep.

Seeing his figure, she yawned lazily.

"Here it is."

Xuanyuan Che didn't say a word, walked to the seat opposite her to finish, and poured himself a cup of hot tea.

He was still wearing the clothes of the early court, and it seemed that he came over immediately after the court.The prince's Panlong costume is a little darker in color, not only does it not have that old-fashioned feeling on him, but it looks calm and heroic.

Yun Xiran looked at him for a long while before saying, "In your opinion, what is Beidi's chance of winning this expedition to Nanxia?"

Xuanyuan Che didn't raise his head, his voice was still cold as usual. "Seventy percent, there are quite a few frontier soldiers, but Beidi may have sent more soldiers. They haven't fought in all these years, and most of them lost to the fierce Beidi soldiers."
