There were only a few words in the edict, and the specific situation could not be clearly stated, but it was said that there was an emergency in the north, so Zhongli Ruixuan set off immediately without further delay, and hurried back to the imperial capital. Zhongli Jingbao accompanied him all the way.

Xia Yue'er also set off, headed back home, and then walked with the people from Ziyun Village, but returned to Fulin City a few days later than Zhong Li Ruixuan.

"I wonder if anything will happen to Ruixuan after he returns." Along the way, Xia Yuer'er's heart was hanging, wondering what might happen after Zhongli Ruixuan returned.

When Zhongli Ruixuan returned to Prince Rui's Mansion, Fang Siyuan went to greet him. He didn't know that he was summoned back by the emperor's urgent edict. He looked left and right, but Xia Yuer was nowhere to be seen. He asked doubtfully: "The prince is back! Why did the prince come back first? Why didn't he come back first?"

Come back with Princess Yue?"

Did something happen to Princess Yue? Not seeing her makes me feel uneasy!

"I have important matters, so I will come back first. Yue'er will arrive soon." Zhong Liruixuan asked someone to take the horse away, and then asked Fang Siyuan, "Manager Fang, have you heard any rumors in Fulin City?"

Fang Siyuan hesitated for a moment and replied: "Reporting to the prince, I heard some rumors..."

"Say it!" Zhong Liruixuan saw that Fang Siyuan was hesitant and didn't know whether he should say anything, so he motioned for him to continue.

Only then did Fang Siyuan boldly speak out: "Some people spread rumors that you, Your Majesty... are the true monarch of the Ruolan Kingdom, that Princess Yue is a goddess sent by God to assist the Prince, and that the fetus in her belly is the reincarnation of a real dragon...

"

Zhong Liruixuan couldn't help but frown after hearing this, and his heart was in doubt. This rumor was exactly the same as the one in the disaster area. I'm afraid it didn't come from the disaster area, but someone had made it up a long time ago and spread it everywhere.

"Your Majesty's hurry to come back, is it related to this rumor?" Fang Siyuan asked boldly.

Zhong Liruixuan was not sure whether the emperor really summoned him back to the court because of this rumor, and asked Fang Siyuan again: "What's going on in the palace?"

Fang Siyuan shook his head: "I have no way of knowing."

At this time, Jing'er had just come back from school. When she saw Zhong Liruixuan coming back, she rushed over excitedly and hugged his thigh: "Daddy is back! Jing'er misses daddy so much."

Zhong Liruixuan picked up his daughter and kissed her on the face: "Jing'er, be good! Father and mother are not at home, are you not good?"

Jing'er kept nodding: "Yeah, Jing'er is very well-behaved!"

I just didn’t take class seriously and often made my husband half mad. When I got home, I would play by the well and frighten the maids. I would climb up a tree to dig out a bird’s nest and almost fall off. I almost scared Fang Siyuan out of his wits...

Jing'er asked again: "Dad, I haven't seen my mother so much? Isn't she coming back?"

"Mother is walking slowly with her little brother. She will be back in a few days." Zhongli Ruixuan replied, then he sat down with Jing'er in his arms, let Jing'er sit on his lap, and asked her what she had learned in Shangwen Academy.

"Dad, can I stop going to Shangwen Academy?" Jing'er asked again.

"Why don't you want to go?" Zhong Liruixuan didn't expect that Jing'er would say this when he asked her.

"Princes will speak ill of father and mother!" Jing'er replied.

Zhong Liruixuan asked again: "What did they say?"

Jing'er thought for a while and replied: "Dad, you don't know that when mother didn't come to find you, Yihe said that mother was a goblin who was trying to seduce the emperor. Later, mother went to complain to the emperor, but Yihe didn't dare to say anything.

Now they are saying that dad went to the south to provide disaster relief to win over people's hearts and have evil intentions..."

Zhongli Ruixuan had already heard what she said about Xia Yue'er. He was very supportive of her resignation. Unexpectedly, words against him would come out again. The princes also heard what the emperor or the concubines in the harem had said.

Only then can you say something like this.

While talking to Jing'er, Zhongli Ruixuan hadn't even finished a cup of tea when the emperor sent someone to send a message, asking him to enter the palace immediately to see the emperor.

Zhong Liruixuan suddenly felt that he was in an embarrassing situation. He was afraid that it would be a disaster if he went to see the emperor, so he asked the eunuch who sent the message: "Has the emperor also sent a message to Prince Jing?"

The eunuch was surprised: "Prince Rui, you are so amazing, you can hit the target as soon as you say it!"

Knowing that the emperor had also passed on Zhongli's marriage certificate, Zhongli Ruixuan felt relieved, thinking that the emperor was not targeting him.

Zhongli Jingbao did not expect that the emperor would summon Zhongli Ruixuan into the palace so urgently. When he returned to Fulin City, he would go back to his palace first and go home to see his wife and children.

However, not long after he returned home, the emperor sent someone to send a message, asking him to come into the palace to discuss important matters. Zhongli Jingbao also asked the eunuch who sent the message if the emperor had sent a message to Prince Rui. He was relieved when he received an affirmative answer.

Take a breath.

When I arrived at the emperor's study room, I saw that the left and right ministers and several generals were there. With such a large formation, needless to say, it must be a big event.

The emperor saw that the two princes were tired from work, so he ordered people to bring stools for them to sit down, and then he got down to business.

The spy placed next to the King of Beihan sent back the news to the emperor, saying that the Beihan Kingdom had begun to mobilize troops and was preparing to send troops to attack the Ruolan Kingdom. Seeing that there was no movement at the border, I didn't know whether the news was true or not, and whether it was credible or not.

Xin, the emperor is anxious to summon Zhongli Ruixuan back to the court, just to ask him to come up with a countermeasure, because the army in the north is in the hands of Zhongli Ruixuan.

At this time, the north was in a hurry, and He Lianying wanted to take advantage of the floods in the south to come back again.

He Lianying took advantage of the great flood to prepare two tactics. First, he spread rumors in the disaster area that Zhongli Ruixuan was the true monarch, making the emperor suspicious of Zhongli Ruixuan. Second, he went to Beihan Kingdom himself and listed various

interests, persuaded Wu Yuzhen to send troops to attack Ruolan Kingdom.

Beihan Kingdom is located to the north of Ruolan Kingdom. There are not many places where crops can be grown due to lack of rain. They mainly focus on livestock raising, and one-third of the country is desert. This year, it has rained for months in Ruolan Kingdom, resulting in unprecedented floods.

There has been no rain in Beihan for several months, and the grass on the ground has withered. This drought has also led to a lack of water and grass for cattle and sheep, and a lack of food for people.

He Lianying told Wu Yuzhen, King of Beihan, that taking advantage of the floods in the six southern counties of Ruolan and the Zhongli Dynasty shifting its attention to the south, it was better to take advantage of this opportunity to send troops south, so that even if they did not occupy a few cities, they could still seize this year's harvest.

Food. If Ruolan country has no intention of war, it will definitely sue for peace. When the time comes, it will offer conditions that are beneficial to Beihan country. I am not afraid that Ruolan country will not agree.

Wu Yuzhen also felt that this was an opportunity, but he still had doubts and hesitation. He did not immediately order an attack on Ruolan Kingdom, but he also began to gather troops and headed for the border.
