Chapter 1323 Temptation (1)
Princess Xuancheng?

Lord Yanling's big fight, is it just because of that woman?
He had already treated that woman as nothing and tolerated it for so long, so how could he suddenly attack at this moment?
Suspicious in his heart, Feng Liancheng frowned and glanced at him.

Lord Yanling took a step back calmly.

Li Wei hurried over from outside, cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, I have something important to report!"

"Say!" Feng Liancheng didn't care about thinking about anything else, and quickly gathered his mind.

"His Highness the Fifth Prince outside the palace and the other people from the right asked to see him, saying that he had something important to tell His Majesty!" Li Wei said.

"Their movements are really procrastinating, I thought they should have come earlier!" Feng Liancheng's lips curled up in a cold arc.

He strode forward, took two steps, but suddenly remembered something, paused for a while, raised his eyebrows at Yanling Lord and said: "You can figure it out yourself!"

After finishing speaking, he really put aside Emperor Chongming's place in peace of mind, lifted the corner of his robe, and strode out.

Lord Yanling stood in the hall watching his back, but the expression on his face was as usual, and after a while, he casually walked back to the inner hall.

Feng Liancheng came out of Emperor Chongming's bedroom, and asked casually, "Where are they?"

"I was stopped by Chief Commander Ling, and I'm still heading over there." Li Wei said, but he said with a particularly dignified expression: "Your Highness, where is Your Majesty—"

In fact, Li Wei couldn't trust Lord Yanling.

That person mixed up with Chu Xunyang, as if he had been influenced by Chu Xunyang, he did things without rules and lawlessness.

"Let's go!" Feng Liancheng didn't care, and strode forward directly.

Along with Feng Liang, in addition to Cheng Zhongheng, Minister of the Ministry of War, Chen Henian, Minister of the Ministry of War, and the two ministers below.

Feng Liancheng and others can enter the harem directly, but the courtiers can only enter the palace through the east side of the front side unless they have special permission from the emperor or they can take shortcuts through other palace gates for banquet occasions. Pass through the palace gate.

At this time, a group of people were waiting outside the gate at the junction of the former dynasty and the rear palace.

"I've seen His Royal Highness the Prince!" Seeing Feng Liancheng approaching, Cheng Zhongheng took the lead in saluting.

"Third brother!" Feng Liang also took a step forward, made a bow, and said with a half smile but not a smile: "Today is the third brother's big day, and the spring night is the best time. The third brother is not in the East Palace to spend the night with the princess and concubine's sister-in-law. Why are you still in the palace at this time?"

Cheng Zhongheng and the others didn't know that Feng Liansheng was still in the palace, so he asked Wenchang to stop them, saying that Emperor Chongming had already fallen asleep, and told them to wait until the next morning if they had something to do.

But something happened to the army in the Qilin Mountains, and Cheng Zhongheng and the others were impatient, so there was no way to wait, the hard-boiled ones must insist on face-to-face.

Ling Wenchang's persuasion was fruitless, and he also knew that it was a matter of military affairs. Once he insisted too much, even if he guessed, Cheng Zhongheng and others could guess what might have happened to Emperor Chongming.

In the end, he had no choice but to go to Feng Liancheng.

Cheng Zhongheng and the others were originally only thinking about the war and didn't care about others. At this time, they were reminded by Feng Liang, and then they realized——

This night was Feng Liancheng's bridal chamber wedding night, it was very strange that he was still staying in the palace at this time.

"His Royal Highness—" Cheng Zhongheng hesitated to speak suspiciously.

"It's the middle of the night, why does the right minister have to ask to see the emperor at this time?" Feng Liancheng said, preemptively diverting the topic away.

"Oh!" Cheng Zhongheng and the others were full of things in their hearts, and they really didn't have time to care about them, so they quickly collected their minds.

Chen Henian, Minister of the Ministry of War, stepped forward and submitted two battle reports, "His Royal Highness, this is the battle report that was urgently delivered to Beijing from the southern military camp eight hundred miles away. After the death of the previous commander, the successor of the imperial court has not yet arrived in time. For the time being, Xie Zhenghao, the governor of Youzhou, will be in charge for the time being, but the battle report just received today said that in a battle three days ago, Xie Zhenghao led people into the Qilin Mountains to chase the rebellious party of the Great Wall Tribe, and was ambushed. Fate was at stake, and that night the barracks was attacked by the Great Wall tribe again, causing heavy losses."

Chen Henian only said these things, and there was cold sweat on his forehead from fear.

If the Great Wall tribe 20 years ago was just a group of brave and foolish barbarians, now, under the control of Fengyi, a well-disciplined army has been formed, and they have the advantage of being familiar with the terrain. The army created an almost overwhelming advantage.

It's not that the imperial court's troops are all idiots, but that the mountains and forests in that area are really complex. Only the Great Wall tribe took the initiative to declare war. Otherwise, once the imperial court's troops entered the mountains and forests, most of them would be just like Xie Zhenghao fate.

It can almost be said that the existence of the Great Wall tribe has become a cancer, and it is still a cancer that cannot be easily removed.

Feng Liancheng quickly flipped through the letter in his hand by the light, his expression was extremely gloomy.

"Your Highness, the army has lost two commanders in a row. Not to mention the slump in morale, even the people living nearby are in panic. If we can't find a way to stabilize the situation there as soon as possible and restore the momentum of our army, I'm afraid— —” Cheng Zhongheng sighed worriedly, “It’s not that the old minister said something depressing. Once the people’s hearts are in turmoil, it is easy to cause riots.”

"Yes, Your Highness!" A minister of the Ministry of War who came with him also said: "Then Dudu Xie came down from the border battlefield. At that time, His Majesty ordered him to help in the emergency, because he thought that he had a lot of actual combat experience and might be able to restrain him. The barbarians of the Great Wall tribe, but now even he has suffered such a dark loss, the situation is already very urgent."

"Your Highness, the ministers didn't want to enter the palace late at night to disturb His Majesty's rest, but this matter is really urgent!" Cheng Zhongheng was puzzled, and looked at Ling Wenchang as he spoke, "Minister Ling said that His Majesty's holy body violated the harmony today. Going to bed early, I don’t know if it’s a serious problem?”

Emperor Chongming was indeed getting older gradually. Although his body was basically good in the past, since the Empress Dowager passed away, he suffered a lot, and recently he gradually showed signs of weakness.

Originally, Wen Chang was told that he was too tired to wake him up, and Cheng Zhongheng and the others didn't think much about it, but Feng Liancheng stayed in the palace unexpectedly——
