Internal and external troubles

When he entered the side hall, Xiao Li was full of thoughts, and was extremely tired, so he fell on the bed with Yi.

However, although the night was long, she finally couldn't fall asleep. As she tossed and turned, the sky gradually became brighter.

After finally feeling sleepy, Xiao Li just fell asleep in a daze when he heard a sudden sound of walking back and forth from outside the hall.

Immediately afterwards, I suddenly heard a vague saying, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is afraid this time,"

In a trance, Xiao Li felt a sudden shock in her heart, and couldn't help but sit up from the bed.

She quickly got out of bed, so she ran to the door and looked over. But she saw a group of palace servants outside the door, running quickly towards the East Palace.

He couldn't help but feel anxious in his heart, and Xiao Li couldn't care about it anymore and followed the crowd.

When I arrived at the main hall of the East Palace, I saw that many palace people had gathered here. They were holding all kinds of things in their hands, busy shuttled through the hall.

The emperor and the empress were also paced back and forth in the hall with anxious expressions.

After a while, someone suddenly ran out of the inner hall.

When the emperor saw him, he waved at him and called the man in front of him: "How is it? How is the prince now?"

Seeing that the emperor was anxious, the palace maid replied quickly: "This time, the prince's coughed more and more than the previous few days."

After hearing this, the emperor looked gloomy on his face, but he still refused to give up, so he asked again: "What about the imperial physician? What did they say?"

The palace maid hesitated for a moment, but in the end he told the emperor what he heard: "Reply to Your Majesty, I heard from the Imperial Doctor that the Crown Prince's illness is probably already in a terminal state."

Hearing this, the emperor suddenly staggered and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, the empress next to him reached out and helped him up: "Your Majesty, be careful! I know that Your Majesty is worried about the prince's condition, but Your Majesty must take good care of himself.

That's the body!"

However, the emperor ignored the queen and asked the palace servant: "Since the prince's body is like this now, why don't you stay in and serve him, and even run out of it?"

After hearing this, the palace servant quickly bowed his head and said, "Go back to Your Majesty, Your Highness, the Crown Prince, said that he only wanted to see the fourth prince at this moment. He wanted the slave to come and invite him quickly."

"So that's it." However, after hearing this, the emperor's face became even more sad and sad: "I didn't expect that my prince has reached this point, and the person I want to see the most is not the case.

I, but the fourth prince.”

Speaking of this, a sad look suddenly flashed between the emperor's eyebrows. But in an instant, he spoke to the palace servant again: "Stop it, since that's the case, you should go and invite Haotian quickly.

Come and see him when you enter the palace!"

Soon, Xiao Li saw Huangfu Haotian dragging his body with fatigue and quickly appeared in front of the door of Tai##.

Not long after he entered the inner hall, the palace servant came out to meet the emperor again. His appearance seemed to be that the prince had something important to say to the emperor.

After hearing what the palace maid said, the emperor reached out and gently pushed the empress who had been supporting him, and followed the palace maid into the inner hall.

Soon after, the emperor walked out of the inner hall again with the help of everyone. Huangfu Haotian was also following him.

When Huangfu Haotian came to the middle of the hall, he suddenly knelt down to the ground and gave a big gift to the emperor, saying, "Father, I am here to thank the emperor for my brother."

But he saw that the emperor had closed his eyes in pain, then quickly opened it and said to Huangfu Haotian who was kneeling on the ground: "At this point, you should get up quickly and go back and prepare well."

"Son of my son!" Huangfu Haotian finished speaking, he quickly stood up from the ground, then took a big step, and quickly walked out of the hall.

When passing by the door, Xiao Li wanted to go up and inquire, but because of the excessive talk. In addition, she had already decided that she would never care about anything related to him again.

Therefore, she could only hide in the crowd and watch Huangfu Haotian leave.

Because the prince was seriously ill, the first thing the Empress did after returning to the palace was to send a letter to cancel the beauties' travels in the palace. She also sent them to the various prefectures and took them home one by one.

After receiving Empress Yi's visit, Mrs. Xiao went to the palace to pick Xiao Li back home.

"Mom~" When Xiao Li saw her mother again, her heart suddenly felt full of grievances, and even tears almost fell.

Mrs. Xiao could see at a glance that Xiao Li's face was not very good. But she knew that this place was a palace after all, so she signaled Xiao Li to wink, suggesting that she had something to say until she returned home.

The group bid farewell to the Queen and returned to their homes.

Xiao Li followed her mother, got on her own carriage, and headed to the general's mansion.

When we reached the gate, the carriage was about to stop, and a sudden sound of horse hooves came from outside the carriage.

"Who is the one who dares to go straight to the General's Mansion!" Suddenly, the guards at the door stopped the person. Then he heard a voice full of fatigue and said, "There is a quick report from the border eight hundred miles away, please see the General.

!”

When Mrs. Xiao heard this, she suddenly looked out of the curtain inside the car. When she saw the situation outside, she immediately ordered the coachman to park the car and then quickly walked out of the car.

When Xiao Li saw this, she naturally walked off the carriage with her mother.

"What happened?" Xiao Fu quickly walked to the person and ordered the guards at the door and said, "You guys, hurry up and help him in. And you, hurry up and report to the general to the front hall to receive him."

Two guards supported the visitor, Xiao Li held her mother with both hands, and the group quickly entered the door and came to the front yard hall. At this time, the general seemed to be waiting there.

When the visitor saw the general, he quickly knelt down on the ground: "Report to General, report to the 800 miles of the border, and ask the general to see it in person."

"Come on." The general ordered with a majestic look on his face.

The visitor quickly took out a bamboo tube sealed with beeswax from his arms, and knelt down and walked a few steps to the general's feet.

Wang Zhong walked up and took the bamboo tube and sent it to the general.

The general opened the sealing wax and pulled out the letter from it to see. For a moment, his brows frowned tightly.

When Mrs. Xiao saw this, she couldn't help but ask, "Master, what's going on? Is there something wrong with the border?"

But when the general turned around, he handed the letter to his wife. He then lowered his head and asked the person, "What was the situation at the border when you entered the capital?"

I heard someone coming forward and reply, "Report to the general, when his subordinates left, the garrison commander of the Jing Kingdom sent someone to issue a letter of war to General Xiao Junke, the vanguard of the vanguard. He said, three days later, the 300,000 army of the Jing Kingdom

I will officially attack my border town. I also said that this time, I must take down my 15th consecutive pond in the border town.”

"Don't think about it!" The general suddenly became angry when he heard this: "This group of barbarians dared to take advantage of my return to Beijing and want to take the opportunity to make a mistake in my border town! Humph, they didn't think about it, the hundreds of thousands of men under my command were at the end.

What are you doing for? You have to take it down even more. My border town has 15 consecutive pools."

"Master." At this time, Mrs. Xiao, who had already read the letter, suddenly said: "From my opinion, this matter is probably not that simple."

Upon hearing this, the general asked, "Oh? What is the opinion of Madam?"

The lady was about to reply, but suddenly she saw the guard who was still kneeling on the ground and coming to deliver the message. She couldn't help but say, "General, look, this little brother came to deliver the message with great speed.

Now that I am so tired, I might as well send someone to take him down and have some rest, and then you and I will discuss the border war again."

After hearing this, the general agreed very much, so he sent a letter to Wang Zhong to take the people down in the future.

Then he asked his wife again, "In the opinion of his wife, what other conspiracy will be there for the Mirror Army attack this time?"

I saw that Mrs. Xiao had already walked to the seat on the right of the general and sat down, then said, "There is a saying that the master must agree with after hearing it."

The general said, "Madam, please say anything directly."

But Mrs. Xiao said, "Over the years, because of the general, you have been guarding the border and sharing the joys and sorrows with your brothers, the Jing army has not found any flaws. So over the years, Jing and Ling have been together.

.”

After hearing this, the general nodded and said, "Mrs. What he said is reasonable."

But the wife continued: "However, although there has not been any major war between the two countries over the years, it does not mean that both sides have been desolate in their training for the army. So..."

"So what?" the general asked.

But the lady suddenly smiled bitterly at the general and said, "I am afraid that this time, although the Jingjun wanted to borrow your help from you when you returned to Beijing, it was true that I took advantage of my border town. But this time,

I'm afraid they are also ready for a long time."

After thinking, the general could not help but nodded and said, "My wife's implication is exactly what I think. It seems that this time, I entered Beijing due to illness, but it just provided a good opportunity for Jingguo to attack our Lingguo.

.”

But the wife nodded and said, "What the general said is very true. That's why I am worried that if this battle really starts, it may not be so easy to end."

The general couldn't help but frown tightly after hearing this: "If the lady said this, I will enter the palace and ask for an order, and then lead a 100,000 army that entered the capital with me to go to Jun Ke'er.

If we meet up, I don’t believe it anymore. With the 300,000 troops under my command, I will not defeat him, a small commander of the Mirror Kingdom.”

However, after hearing these words, Mrs. Xiao suddenly frowned again: "The general's words are not unreasonable. It's just..."

When the general saw the wife's expression, he knew that something must have happened in her heart. He couldn't help but smile at her and said, "My wife has something to say, I'll really say it."

Mrs. Xiao suddenly reached out and held the general's hand: "Master, please forgive me for saying something you don't like to hear. You must know that although the general is still the former Xiao Chaogui, the current Xiao Chaogui

, but he is no longer the general he used to be!"

Seeing the general who heard this, his face suddenly became dark, and Xiao Li couldn't help but feel a heroic feeling in his heart.

Originally, she thought that when she returned home this time, she would definitely accompany her parents at home, never go out easily, and not cause unnecessary trouble.
