Playful Queen

Chapter 124

"I still have something to deal with!" After finishing speaking, he turned and walked out of Ningyun Palace.

Because of the urgent report at the border, he originally planned to go straight to the imperial study after coming out of the Ningyun Palace, but when he passed the Fengyi Palace, he stopped and walked in unconsciously. Through the shadow of the window, He saw the figure sitting quietly by the window.

"..." When the dumb slave saw the emperor, he immediately wanted to say hello, but the emperor raised his hand to signal her to be quiet. After making this gesture, he remembered that the maid in front of him could not speak. Mengli's room is a little closer.

Seeing that fair face and soft facial features through the gap in the window, she is no longer as heavy makeup as before, she has become elegant and clear, she is no longer as messy as before, she has become calm and breezy, and she is no longer in daily life. Say she likes me...

Very early on, he saw that Mo Yu liked her, and his refusal was because he wanted her to recognize the truth. When Mo Yu always looked at her, there was a kind of endless doting and care in his eyes. Let Mo Yu be with her, but after the emperor's last edict entered the palace, things changed.

It's just that he didn't know when it started. When he saw her charming smile at Mo Yu, he was actually afraid, so every time he was afraid, he kept telling himself that the person he loved was Yun'er, and he The promise he made to her would not change, he couldn't be sorry for Yun'er who would give up his life for him, in fact, when his suspicions gradually became clear, he would think, if even Yun'er was lost, what would he have left? what?
He just doesn't want to try to lose everything, including the feeling of losing his trust in people.

Zi Yechen withdrew his thoughts, stopped thinking about it, and strode away.

As soon as he entered the imperial study room, Zi Yechen immediately regained his usual composure and domineering, with an indifferent expression, he walked up to the dragon chair and sat down, with his hands resting on both sides of the armrests of the dragon chair, his black eyes fell on Xia Xuanlie and Shen Aoyun below.

When the two of them saw the emperor, they knelt down on one knee and clasped their fists together: "This humble minister kowtows to the emperor."

"Your Majesty, I have just received an emergency request from Yanyun Pass. Yancheng has already been captured by Xili." After Shen Aoyun got up, he went straight to the topic.

"What?" So quickly, "This time leading troops is Luo Rong Zhan Le?"

"According to reports from the front, the current leader is King Xili's only daughter, Luo Ronglan." Although this person is a woman, she disappeared until she returned to China two years ago. This is the first time she has led troops to fight. After winning Yancheng, the duel of abilities must not be underestimated, "And, they are preparing to attack Yuncheng."

One of the two cities of Yanyunguan has already been taken down. If Yuncheng is also taken down, it will be the real loss of Yanyunguan, and the consequences will be absolutely unimaginable.

"My Majesty, please dispatch troops quickly to solve Yuncheng's urgent situation." Shen Aoyun clasped his fists and said, "I invite you to step forward and resist Xili's army!"

Zi Yechen looked at the two people at the hem, and suddenly got up, with an attitude of being king, "Xia Xuanlie, Shen Aoyun obeys the order, and lead the left and right armies to Yuncheng at high speed."

"My minister is under the command! Send two armies to set off at once. Will the Seventh Highness of the Nanxuan Kingdom come to court in a few days, will they find out and take advantage of it?"

"I have my own arrangements, you all must send out the army quickly, and make sure to bring Yancheng back!"

"Yes!" After receiving the order, Xia Xuanlie left quickly, while Shen Aoyun stayed behind.

Zi Yechen walked down the steps slowly, stared at Shen Aoyun, patted his shoulder, and said: "I know, Zixuan's impulsiveness this time..."

"When I return, I will definitely marry the princess, but I have made it clear in my heart."

"I know, this is why I have been stopping Xuan'er all this time, Ao Yun, I will leave this battle to you."

"Yes! However, I hope that the emperor will agree to one request, and I only hope that the emperor will treat the queen well. If not, then let her go and let her be free." Shen Aoyun's firm expression seemed to be saying his last words. , this is not a request, but his request, "I will resign!"

If not, let her go. Is he really going to let the bird that can fly freely?

At this moment, a bird pierced through the night sky and flew past, Zi Yechen looked at the night sky quietly, Shen Mengli, you want to fly too...

This night, the mist and fog enveloped the entire palace.

Everything outside the window was blurry, even if someone passed by, they might not be able to see it clearly, as if it was just a phantom.The night is still quiet and makes people indifferent, just like everything that happened just now, nothing happened, can it just be regarded as a phantom?

At this moment, her heart is very chaotic. She once loved deeply and was hurt. She clearly told herself to forget the past, but she forgot a little bit. She has gradually forgotten love. Right now, she loves Zi Ye Chen why?
Mengli was dressed in a light blue gauze dress, with a white veil on her shoulders, and her black hair was scattered on her shoulders. She sat in front of the window, watching the bird flying past the high city wall. She flew in, with a self-deprecating smile on the corner of her mouth.

At this moment, Xi'er came in, calling out to the empress in a low voice: "Empress?"

Mengli looks back at Xi'er.

"Concubine Hui is here, she is waiting in the front hall."

Meng Li nodded, she seemed to have forgotten that Concubine Hui was coming to discuss matters with her today, so she got up and walked out of the room.

In the front hall, Concubine Hui was wearing a white gauze dress, and her waist was tied into an elegant bowknot with light pink silk soft smoke. She was sitting on a chair, and when she saw Mengli appearing, she immediately got up and stepped forward, blessed her body and said, " The concubine sees the empress."

"It's just the two of us, Concubine Hui doesn't need to be too polite, please sit down quickly." Meng Li said with a light smile.

Concubine Hui nodded, looked at the queen with a pair of watery eyes, waved her hand, and then the maid behind her presented the exquisite snack box, and then said with an elegant smile, "I know that the queen is a tea lover, this is a gift from my father." The tea leaves that entered the palace, so I specially brought some to give to the empress."

"Thank you Concubine Hui for your kindness, and brought some tea, let's just taste it and talk."

Xi'er at the side hurriedly took the snack box, and soon, holding the jade pot, filled the two ladies with tea.

Meng Liyu picked up the ceramic cup lightly, and took a sip: "This tea tastes very good, the tea is full of fragrance, and the fragrant tea flows through."

Putting down the teacup, and getting back to business, "Nanxuan Kingdom is about to come, what good idea does Concubine Hui have?" Ever since Fengxi took charge of the Empress Palace, Concubine Hui would often come here to discuss matters in the palace with her. Nanxuan came to envoy, as a queen, she also had to consider what kind of welcome banquet.

"I heard that the Seventh Prince is also a person with eccentricities. He is very particular about food, housing, transportation, etc., and he must be particular about the dishes..." Concubine Hui told her everything she knew, but she was very observant. Finding that the empress seems to be a little absent-minded, so she called out softly, "Empress?"
