The Queen was in a good mood and said to Aunt Zhao: "I know that the Crown Princess will definitely be summoned. I am afraid that Concubine Li will be in a worse mood."

Concubine Li was in a bad mood, but the queen's mood improved and she became a little friendly to Su Xinyi.

After hearing this, Aunt Zhao immediately said: "What the Imperial Concubine is saying is that the Imperial Concubine's natal family and the Crown Princess have some quarrels. Although the Imperial Concubine said she doesn't care, who would believe it?"

The Queen felt that this was very reasonable and sneered, "When the Crown Princess was selected, Concubine Li deliberately showed her favor to Su Xinyi. She didn't know what her intentions were. She was afraid that everything would fail, so she became angry."

"Mother, what should we do next?" asked Aunt Zhao.

The queen was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then said: "If your majesty doesn't have any will, don't act rashly."

"Yes." Aunt Zhao bent down and responded.

Concubine Li Guifei in Zhaoyu Palace indeed looked worried. She looked at her son and said, "Maybe your idea is right."

When King Xiang heard this, there was no expression on his gentle face, and he said calmly: "My son has long said that my father has always been partial to the Crown Prince and Prince Rong."

"What are you going to do?" Concubine Li rubbed her forehead and asked very tiredly, "You have to know that what you want to do is very dangerous. If you can't fully control it, I advise you to think twice. It's a thousand miles from the capital to Zhangping Prefecture. It’s so far away that we can’t take any chances.”

"Mother, my son has already made a plan in his heart, so you don't have to worry. I won't take risks. Even if things fail, others won't guess what happened to me."

"That's good." Concubine Li's eyes flickered, as if she had finally made up her mind, "If you have any difficulties, just tell me and she will solve it for you."

King Xiang thought that he really couldn't give his mother the concubine he wanted, but he did not say it directly but said: "There is nothing for the mother and concubine to do for the time being. You must take care of yourself in the palace. If there is no If there are no other instructions, my son will leave first."

"Wait a minute." Concubine Li said, "How is Liang Ju's matter?"

Prince Xiang turned his head and smiled, "He has been dismissed from office, and other matters are also being investigated. If nothing goes wrong, being able to save his life is already the biggest benefit."

Concubine Li frowned, "Then who will take over Liang Ju's official position?"

Prince Xiang glanced at his mother and concubine, his eyes were bottomless, and his voice was tainted with a hint of coldness, "It depends on the father, mother and concubine, Liang Ju's official position, whether it is his son or uncle, it is best to Don't interfere."

Concubine Li met her son's slightly gloomy eyes, and her elder brother had a cold war for no reason. When she came to her senses, he was already gone.

Concubine Li felt uncomfortable. She looked at Aunt Ren and said, "Tell me, has Prince Xiang encountered something recently? I always feel that he is not in a good mood."

When Aunt Ren heard this, she thought she didn't know what was going on. Anyway, after the prince accepted Aunt Fu, his temper became eccentric.

But she didn't dare to say these words, so she said gently: "Don't worry, your Majesty. I'm afraid that the prince feels aggrieved this time. The prince got an errand and went south. His Royal Highness also led the troops to go on an expedition. However, His Highness has nothing to do in the capital. It is inevitable that he will be in a bad mood." not good."

Concubine Li's expression turned grim when she heard Aunt Ren talking about this. Yes, His Majesty is partial. He always values ​​the prince and she doesn't say anything. But what about Prince Rong?

His Majesty clearly loves her more, but in the end he prefers the son born by the queen. Isn't her son bad?

It is obvious that the Prince Xiang she gave birth to is more well-behaved, sensible, gentle and elegant, and is better at studying and practicing martial arts than Prince Rong, but your Majesty just can't see that, not to mention that her son is wronged, she feels wronged for her son.

But what's the use?

She didn't dare to complain a word when His Majesty did this, and she couldn't even say a word of grievance.

She wanted to see what earth-shattering errands King Rong could accomplish this time with his uneducated appearance.

After Su Xinyi returned to the East Palace, she immediately entered the side hall and took out all his father's letters and compared them one by one. Only after he was sure that he was right did he breathe a sigh of relief.

It was indeed a bit risky to be in front of His Majesty today, but she had to shoot when the arrow was on the string. She really didn't expect that the prince would show the information to His Majesty, which caught her off guard.

However, this is good, at least it will let His Majesty know that I have the intention to follow His Highness. If I want to request to join the army in the future, I think His Majesty will be prepared.

Su Xinyi took a deep breath and followed the map to guess where His Highness the Crown Prince would go.

What Su Xinyi, or the entire court, did not expect was that the prince's army received a report from Zhangping Mansion before the prince's army arrived.

The Tatar Khan sent 10,000 cavalry to attack Zhangping Mansion. The commander Xu Chun was killed in the battle, the commander Chai Guangsan, the commander, and the Qian Shi Wang Zhi led the soldiers to fight back. However, they were killed in front of the formation. Zhangping Mansion was defeated and two thousand Tatars were captured. The remaining people returned north.

In addition to the Zhangping Mansion, the Tatar Khan also sent other troops to attack the Yulin Guards. The Yulin Guards fought hard for three days and were able to save the city gate. More than 5,000 soldiers died in the battle. The people in the city came to the city to resist the enemy.

The whole court was shocked and the emperor was furious.

His Majesty immediately sent someone to deliver a message to the prince, and traveled all night to Zhangping Mansion. In addition, he also dispatched soldiers from Zhangping Mansion and Yulin Guard and surrounding guards to the two places for reinforcements.

The Tatars came with such force that the court officials who had previously valued peace were trembling. Several of them were dismissed and exiled by His Majesty, and the entire capital was instantly plunged into a haze.

East Palace.

Su Xinyi received the letter sent back by her cousin. The one who sent the letter was the son of the Su family, who was very trustworthy. He ran all night and his face was extremely pale and weak, and his body was shaky.

Su Xinyi quickly asked someone to take him down to eat something to catch his breath, and took the opportunity to read her cousin's letter first.

Su Deng's letter was written very concisely, and the handwriting was a little sloppy and hasty. There was a traitor in Zhangping Prefecture!

Su Xinyi's face changed all of a sudden. There was a traitor in Zhangping Prefecture, but the prince was completely unaware of it. If he went straight into Zhangping Prefecture without any precautions...

She immediately changed her clothes and went to the Purple Palace to meet His Majesty. What cautious and careful, what step by step, after knowing that the prince was very likely to face great danger, she didn't care about anything.

"Crown Princess, His Majesty is busy and may not be able to summon you for a while." Hu Siyi didn't know why the Crown Princess came at this time, and he didn't dare to neglect it and immediately persuaded her to go back to the East Palace first.

Su Xinyi looked at Hu Siyi with a serious expression, "General Manager Hu, I just received the news sent back by the caravan. It is extremely urgent. Please be flexible and report back to His Majesty."
