Marriage Princess: The Alluring Concubine of the Evil Emperor

Chapter 320 Crisis Approaching
Fei Ningyu said: "The noble concubine can rest assured, although the emperor believed Bai Suning's words, but Bai Suning proposed that there is no need to burn to death, and only the eminent monks need to recite sutras."

Fei Ningyu didn't dare to say that he would marry the princess. He knew that the last thing he would do in the court was to announce the decree, and he couldn't figure out what his fate would be next.

People say that those who count will know their catastrophe, but he didn't have any warning, his morality is really insufficient.

Concubine Qi asked: "It's that simple? I don't believe it."

Fei Ningyu said: "The emperor first asked the ministers to come over to announce the decree. As for Bai Suning, he is still in the imperial study. I don't know what else he will say to the emperor."

Concubine Qi thought for a while, and said, "You said that even Wang Xi spoke for Yili?"

"It's not obvious, but you can hear the meaning of every sentence."

Concubine Qi was surprised, "This Wang Xi has always only stood by the emperor and listened to the emperor's orders to do things, why would he help Yili? Could it be that they also colluded?"

"This, the minister also finds it strange."

Concubine Qi Gui said: "Okay, you go down first, I will obey the order, so you can do it yourself."

Fei Ningyu's face was pale, Qi Guifei's words were equivalent to telling him that you should watch for your own wealth and life, I can't save you.

Fei Ningyu said unwillingly: "Imperial Concubine, can I ask Prime Minister Qi to speak kindly to me?"

Concubine Qi said: "You go back first, we will talk about this matter later."

Fei Ningyu knew that this was evasion, and he felt resentment in his heart, but he didn't dare to make a mistake, so he cupped his hands and said, "Your Excellency, leave!"

Xinglan was furious when she learned that the emperor had identified her as a demon star, and rushed out to find the emperor.

The Seventh Prince said indifferently: "Sister Huang, what should I say when seeing Father?"

"Of course I want to tell him that there is no such thing as a demon star," Xing Lan said.

"How do you know if you have it?" The Seventh Prince asked again.

Xing Lan was stunned, "This... Fei Ningyu is an incompetent person, how can he take what he said seriously?"

"Didn't Miss Huang hear it? Fei Ningyu's words were not overturned, and Bai Suning also said that Daliang had indeed committed a crime of being cautious and guarding one's heart, and you are this demon star. Do you think the father believes your words or Bai Suning's words? The emperor believes in your words, yes, you have to confess to the father first, all of this was designed by us."

Xing Lan was at a loss for words, and paused, "How can you say that?"

"Just know that you can't speak. If you can't speak, just shut up. You can only eat this dumb thing." The Seventh Prince said.

Concubine Qi said bitterly: "I really didn't expect them to fight back so quickly. Fortunately, it was only a seven-day foot restraint and chanting scriptures. If we were to be burned at the stake again, we would be shooting ourselves in the foot. However, this time it is not without gain. At least, knowing that Chu Jinyu, Gao Lingfeng, and Wang Xi are with Yili, we will know that we will pay attention to these people when we strike."

The Seventh Prince said indifferently: "Mother and Concubine, don't pay attention to them, just knock them all down."

"Do you have any good plans?" Qi Guifei asked.

The Seventh Prince smiled coldly, with a murderous look on his face, he didn't look like a child who was only seven years old, "Don't worry, when they relax, they will naturally find a breakthrough."

Concubine Qi Gui always knew that this son was very assertive. Although he was only seven years old, his thinking was beyond comparison to an adult. Hearing his assurance, she immediately felt confident, and said to Xinglan: "I will wrong you for a few days first, you can't make trouble. , because, Yili didn't make a scene before, if you make a scene, what will your father think?"

Xing Lan almost crushed her teeth, "Don't worry, Concubine Mu, isn't it just seven days? I can still endure it."

On the other side of the imperial study, Qi Zhurong, Minister of the Ministry of War, was summoned into the palace, but was told that the emperor had something important to do, so he would not see him first.

Qi Zhurong also knew about Concubine Qi's plan, but he didn't know that the plan had failed. Hearing that Eunuch Xi said that the emperor still had important matters, he felt a little uneasy, and asked, "Eunuch, do you know that the emperor has sent me to the palace, what's the matter?"

Xi Gong said: "The slave doesn't know."

Qi Zhurong snorted, "Then... what is the emperor doing now?"

Xi Gong said: "The slave doesn't know either."

Qi Zhurong said coyly: "Oh, well, I will go to the Ministry of War first. The King of Huainan was defeated, and the Ministry of War has to deal with it urgently."

Eunuch Xi said indifferently: "My lord, don't you know yet? Zhang Tian, ​​the vanguard under King Huainan, has returned to Beijing to report that the army has already won the victory, but the victory report has not been sent back to Beijing, but a report of the defeat came .”

Qi Zhurong was startled, "How could this happen?"

This is impossible. The military department clearly received the report of the report, and the report of the report was signed by his own son himself.

"I don't know about that." Mr. Xi said fairly.

Qi Zhurong was shocked, "Where is that sky?"

"Maybe it's in the South camp. The emperor has ordered General Yuan to lead his troops to join the Huainan king and attack Xianbei directly." Xi Gong said fairly.

After hearing this, Qi Zhurong left in a hurry.

Sure enough, Zhang Tian was still in the southern camp, accompanying Yuan Su to order troops.

Zhang Tian heard that Qi Zhurong wanted to see him, so he came to the camp.

"Subordinate Zhang Tian, ​​please refer to Lord Shangshu!" Zhang Tian saluted.

Qi Zhurong smiled and said: "General Zhang has worked hard all the way, please sit down!"

"It's not hard!" Zhang Tian sat down. He hadn't rested since he returned to the capital, and the dust on his face hadn't been wiped off. contrast.

Qi Zhurong asked gently: "General, how is the battle ahead?"

Zhang Tiandao: "My lord, our army has won a complete victory. Now that we have obtained the emperor's will, we will go deeper into the enemy's territory and set off tomorrow."

Qi Zhurong asked: "Then, have you sent back the report of the defeat in the army?"

Zhang Tian shook his head, "No, we won the battle in less than three days. How could we be defeated? Moreover, we reported the victory and returned to Beijing, but we have not been able to wait for the emperor's order."

"The good news is through the stagecoach station?" Qi Zhurong was very surprised. If the good news came back, he would definitely return to the Ministry of War. However, he had never seen the good news from the beginning to the end.

"That's right, it's the stagecoach station!" Zhang Tian replied.

Qi Zhurong was deeply puzzled, "However, the Ministry of War has not received the victory report."

Zhang Tian said: "The subordinates know that the emperor has already said it. I don't know if there is an inner ghost in the post-horse station or something, but the good news has not been conveyed to the saint."

Qi Zhurong felt that the crisis was approaching step by step, but he didn't know how and when the crisis came, how to pursue this matter, and finally fell on the head of the Ministry of War.

It seems that what Bai Suqing said about the difficulties of the Qi family was not just referring to the case of the Su family.

"Then when did you meet General Qi?" Qi Zhurong asked again.

"It was the third day after the victory, and he had joined General Qi's troops."

Qi Zhurong checked the dates and found that they met at about this time. At that time, he wrote to his son to ask him to wait a little longer before reuniting with King Huainan. , his prestige of supervising the army is naturally gone.
