Chapter 153 The Red Luan moves the 12 princesses to leave Beijing
Qingfeng has matured a lot compared to three years ago. He was originally a quick-witted and smart young man, but under Su Mian's training, his bearing is even more extraordinary.After he saluted and greeted him, he first said the most important points: "My lady and son, I have received definite news that Her Royal Highness the Second Empress left Beijing two days ago, and it is estimated that she will arrive in Pingcheng in a month."

Yu Hui was puzzled and asked, "Why did the Second Princess leave Beijing?"

Su Mian explained on her behalf: "The rivalry between Beijing and China is in full swing. Currently, the Crown Princess has a slight advantage. The Holy Majesty has made it clear that next year the Spring Festival will be hosted by the Crown Princess. Now the autumn hunting will be given to the Crown Princess. However, at the border of Xuanguo and Chen Bing, the battle is imminent, and Her Royal Highness the Second Queen wants to take this opportunity to gain some military merits and improve her status in the eyes of the Holy One. According to the ancient system, whenever the country is in danger, even if the imperial conquest is required, the Empress Dowager is not allowed to leave the capital. Because as the future emperor, the empress dowager needs to ensure absolute safety. So the second empress volunteered and asked the emperor to go to the border to reward the soldiers and take the opportunity to win over the military connections."

Yuhui remembers that the second princess, Ji Ke, was born of the Yao family, the emperor of Donggui. The Yao family, one of the four great aristocratic families, has always been inseparable from the military.It would be easier for the second princess to reward the soldiers at the border, with the support of the Yao family.If they can catch up with Xuan Guo's small group of intruders, and Hua Guo's border guards will fight the enemy bravely and win the battle, the second princess will have the capital to show off.

Qingfeng continued: "Shortly after His Highness the Second Emperor left Beijing, there were rumors that the little prince, His Highness Luanming, had disappeared. The preliminary information we have obtained shows that His Highness Luanming probably came to the border with His Highness the Second Emperor."

Su Mian frowned, "Your Highness, the little prince, has only turned 14 this year and is not yet married. How could he come so far away from Beijing?"

"Isn't there news in Beijing that the Empress Xuanguo wants to marry the prince of our country for the eldest daughter of the widowed concubine? Her Highness Luanming is the only one who is suitable for marriage and unengaged in our country. The eldest daughter of the Emperor Xuanguo is [-] years old. How can the Holy One be willing to let the little prince marry and suffer? In fact, this is just an excuse for Xuan Guo to formally declare war." Yuhui recalled that there were corresponding records in the documents she had just read yesterday , she analyzed, "If the Holy Majesty has already prepared for the battle, he will definitely not really agree. Maybe he is perfunctory and procrastinating first to lower the vigilance of the people of Xuanguo. As for His Highness Luanming, I happened to meet him when I entered the palace. He is a A spoiled child. Most likely he didn't understand the majesty's painstaking efforts, and he caused any trouble on his own initiative, or simply sneaked out under the protection of the Yao family. The second queen and His Highness Luanming are brothers and sisters of the same father. If Luan His Highness Ming really came to the border, it is estimated that the second princess will take care of him so that no big trouble will happen."

Qingfeng sighed in admiration: "Miss's words are very true. I never thought that just after returning from Xuanguo, Miss can see the domestic affairs so thoroughly."

Yuhui said modestly: "It's my brother who got your help to compile the concise intelligence records. I just made up for it yesterday, so I can analyze one or two things."

Su Mian waved her hand thoughtfully, letting Qingfeng lead the others out of the room, and then said to Yuhui seriously: "I think His Royal Highness Luanming's departure is a bit strange. Count the days, you will return safely The urgent secret report should be in the hands of the Patriarch within two days, and the Holy Majesty probably also got the news at the same time. The Second Queen and His Highness Luanming left Beijing one after another. They probably added additional work related to you in addition to rewarding the border. "

Yu Hui seemed to realize something, and hesitated, "The Holy Majesty received my news, will he send an urgent secret report, and give some clear instructions before the second princess and the others arrive in Pingcheng?"

Su Mian nodded: "That's for sure. In two or three days, even if the Holy Majesty doesn't have a clear order, the Patriarch will hear the latest arrangement. I'm worried that the Holy Majesty will know that you have the treasure map of Xuanguo, I want to win you over. The most common method used by the royal family to win over ministers is nothing more than marriage with the prince."

When Yuhui heard this, her face turned pale with fright, and she said in a trembling voice: "Brother, what you mean is that the Holy Majesty will marry that Prince Luanming to me? This is not a solicitation, it is obviously a frame to torture me. Have you seen that?" But that arrogant and domineering Luanming, he didn't even bat an eye when he bullied his brother Luanhe, he acted badly, he was just a little devil. Let me marry him, he might as well just kill me."

Su Mian comforted, "Don't be afraid, Hui'er, I'm just speculating. After all, since ancient times, princes are going to marry the daughters of noble and high-ranking families. In recent years, the head of the family has relied on the second lady on the surface. The lady is the one who will inherit the family business. You are still a concubine, and you have a daughter with a servant first. Those old-fashioned people in the court will accuse you of "not following the rules of etiquette" and "poor conduct" and are not suitable for marriage. Qualifications of a prince."

Yu Hui breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "So there are so many benefits to being a concubine and "misconduct". Fortunately, brother reminded me early, if His Royal Highness Luan Ming came to Pingcheng together with the Second Royal Highness , I can also be on guard in response.”

Yuhui had breakfast here at Su Mian's place, and at Su Mian's suggestion, Yuhui planned to invite Mingyue to understand the details of the business, so she returned to her study in her yard without further delay.Mingyue will inspect various businesses for Su Mian every month, and she just did a round of inspection this month, and she should report to Su Mian.Although Su Mian knew that Yu Hui would not be able to take care of the business in the north for the time being, she still wanted to get acquainted with her more when she had time, lest Yu Hui would not be able to answer questions when asked by the Patriarch in Jingzhong.

Yuhui went back to her yard, and Ah Li reported to Su Mian on time, and continued to study and sort out paperwork.

If you want to classify the documents accurately and distinguish the key points, you must always take a rough look at each article.According to Ali's progress level, Su Mian deliberately increased some intelligence analysis training.Ali can read a lot and read quickly, and after reading it, he can remember to draw inferences. Su Mian feels that teaching Ali is easier than teaching Qingfeng.Fortunately, Su Mian now controls the northern intelligence network, and the amount of information that needs to be processed every day is very large, and some of them are materials for Ali to practice.

In the past three days, Jingzhong Yu's family sent an urgent message.Yu's family uses carrier pigeons to transmit messages, which is faster than the imperial court's expedited documents, but the paper pigeons can carry is limited, and the messages are mostly as simple as telegrams.If you want to deliver serious documents and letters, you still need to run away.The message sent by the Yu family to Yuhui by means of carrier pigeons is to ask her to obey all the arrangements of the imperial court, and the Holy Majesty's secret decree will arrive in Pingcheng in a few days.

After a few more days, the official who delivered the secret decree from the imperial court finally arrived.

Yuhui received the secret decree in the main hall, sent off the officials who delivered the decree, turned around and went into Su Mian's study, screened away the idlers, and studied countermeasures with Su Mian.

The secret decree is the imperial script written by the Holy One himself.The Holy Majesty has already learned that Yu Hui has returned safely, and that the errands she has to run in Xuanguo have taken shape. I hope that Yu Hui can rush back to Beijing to report the details as soon as possible.Regarding the whereabouts of the treasure map guarded by Xuanguo Tianjianzong and other details, just in case, Yuhui did not dare to put it on paper, and the news to Jingzhong at the beginning was only a rough mention.

The secret decree also said that Xuanguo is about to start a war, and there is no peace in Huaguo. He is afraid that Yuhui will be in danger on the way back to Beijing, so the Holy One sent a special person to Pingcheng to pick Yuhui back to Beijing.In order to deceive the public, this team of royal guards left the capital under the banner of searching for the missing little prince, His Royal Highness Luanming.In the secret decree, the name, contact code and seal of the commander of the guards were disclosed.

Yuhui thought that the emperor's plan was good, she could take advantage of Luanming's disappearance, and it was even possible that Luanming's escape from the palace at such a moment was the emperor's envoy.No matter what the reason is, if this arrangement is followed, that devilish little prince will definitely come to Pingcheng, so that it will be convenient for those guards who pretend to be looking for the little prince to take Yu Hui back.This made Yuhui feel dizzy. If she had to travel with Luanming all the way back to Beijing from Pingcheng, it would probably be a very unpleasant trip, right?
———Author’s words———

The little prince Luanming is about to appear on stage, and it is said that this child is relatively untrained, so let everyone get a dose of stepmother vaccination first.
