However, although the princess is from the Western Kingdom, her heart is not towards the Western Kingdom. I don’t think she was the one who leaked the military plan. I wonder what the generals think?"
Si Yi and the others remained silent except for the right general Qin Feng.
"My lord, I believe that there is no smoke without fire. If Princess Yunxuan really had no dissatisfaction with Dongchen, this rumor would not single out her.
In addition, Your Majesty, please don’t forget that Princess Yunxuan is the princess of the Western Kingdom after all. Even if she faces Dongchen on the surface, deep down in her heart, she may have already chosen to side with the Western Kingdom, and she is your princess.
It is very convenient to obtain secrets. I am afraid that others would not have this ability."
Xiao Yunchen narrowed his eyes, his tone turned cold, and asked: "So according to your opinion, Princess Yunxuan is really the culprit for the defeat in the battle at Yunyan Road?"
Qin Feng lowered his head and said, "The general is just guessing like this. Your Majesty, please calm down."
There was an uproar immediately below. After Qin Feng said this, everyone's suspicions deepened. Moreover, judging from the regent's attitude, he seemed a little sullen. Could it be that he was really protecting Princess Yunxuan, a sinner?
Facing the suspicious looks from one to another, Xiao Yunchen's face became a little ugly. Lying to the soldiers had already made him uneasy. At this time, he really wanted to tell the truth, but when he thought of Yu Yunxuan
In the end, he endured it again.
There is no other way, who makes him so unsatisfied and unable to let go?
"As General Qin said, you are just guessing. I believe that the other generals and the soldiers present are the same, right? Without evidence, it is useless to say anything. Let's stop here today.
, I promise you that I will find out the truth as soon as possible and give you an answer."
Without waiting for Si Yi, Qin Feng and others to speak, Xiao Yunchen left the watchtower, and the soldiers had to disperse on the spot and do what they should do.
Although Ye Fuxun did not tell Yu Yunxuan what happened in the military camp, he still failed to hide it from her.
That day, Yu Yunxuan was out for a walk when she was bored, and happened to hear a few people whispering.
"Hey, have you heard? It turns out that the person who leaked our secrets to the Western Army was actually the regent's princess!"
Another person said: "How come you haven't heard of it? It has been spread in the army for a long time, and now we common people know it. This is not surprising. Princess Yunxuan is from the Western Kingdom after all. It is reasonable for her to have a heart for the Western Kingdom. In our Dongchen
In the eyes of people, she is a sinner, but in the eyes of Westerners, she is a great hero!"
"Oh, it's just a pity for the regent. Having such a princess is really a headache for him. I heard that today several generals and soldiers collectively knelt down to beg the prince to deal with Princess Yunxuan."
"Is there such a thing? What does the prince say?"
"The regent seems to have great trust in Princess Yunxuan, and has always refused to punish her because of insufficient evidence. Now it has caused dissatisfaction among many people in the army, and the military's morale has been weakened."
Yu Yunxuan was shocked and had mixed feelings in her heart. She originally thought that Xiao Yunchen resented her and would deal with her one day, but she never expected that he would actually protect her despite the pressure.
Although she was very moved, she could not embarrass Xiao Yunchen. After thinking for a long time, Yu Yunxuan decided to go to the military camp.
Then he came to the military camp and found the prince.
"Your Majesty, I came suddenly, didn't I disturb you?" Yu Yunxuan asked with a smile on her face.
Xiao Yunchen looked annoyed, frowned and asked, "Is it because you heard something that you came here today?"
"Yes, I know all the rumors in the army recently." Yu Yunxuan said calmly, "Actually, there is no need for the prince to hide it from me, and there is no need to defend me. The facts are there, and paper cannot cover up the fire.
Yes, one day, everyone will know the truth."
Xiao Yunchen stared at her and said expressionlessly: "Since I heard the rumors, I shouldn't come here. Besides, I know what to do myself, so I don't need you to give me advice."
"Do you really know?" Yu Yunxuan raised her eyebrows at him, "If you knew, you shouldn't just watch the army's morale weaken and not take measures."
"Do you think I don't want to take measures to appease the morale of the army? I've been confused by this incident these days, but..." Xiao Yunchen stopped the second half of his sentence in time, but he didn't want Yu Yunxuan to die.
After a pause, Yu Yunxuan said slowly: "Your Majesty, there is no need to be embarrassed, just hand me over. As long as I die, the soldiers will feel at ease, and the military morale will naturally solidify again."
"Do you know what will happen to you if I hand you over?" Xiao Yunchen's tone became extremely heavy.
Yu Yunxuan nodded: "The worst I can do is to apologize for my sins with death! My sins are so heavy that I deserve to die, but I will pay off my sins by dying. Besides, haven't you always hated me, my lord? In your heart, you actually want to kill me, right? Now
Isn’t this the best time?”
"Are you deliberately angry with me?" Xiao Yunchen suppressed his anger and said word by word.
Yu Yunxuan didn't know why, and her eyes were full of doubts. She was sincerely helping him solve his problems, so why did he say that she was angry with him? "I don't want to embarrass you. Kill me and everything will be solved, right?"
?”
Xiao Yunchen pursed her lips and said nothing.
The camp suddenly became quiet. The two of them were thinking, so quiet that they could almost hear each other's breathing.
Not long after, the sound of rapid footsteps from outside broke the silence.
"Your Majesty, it's not good. All the soldiers have gathered at the watchtower and are kneeling down to ask you... please order Princess Yunxuan to be executed."
Xiao Yunchen's brows knitted together in an instant. He waved the soldiers back, held his forehead, turned to Yu Yunxuan and said: "You go back to the post house first, it's a mess here, I still have to go
Deal with it."
"How are you going to deal with it?" Yu Yunxuan grabbed his arm, "Don't you understand yet? If you don't order me to be killed, this storm will not go away!"
Xiao Yunchen said sternly: "I have already said it, I will find a way, I don't need you to worry about it, just go back first!"
"No, I won't go back. This happened because of me, and it should be ended by me. I'm going to the watchtower right now!" Yu Yunxuan said, turning around and going out. Unexpectedly, Xiao Yunchen hit her with a palm.
On the back of her neck, she felt her eyes go dark, and she immediately fell down weakly.
Xiao Yunchen supported Yu Yunxuan's body, summoned the shadow guard, and ordered him to take Yu Yunxuan back to the post house and watch her carefully and not allow her to go out.
On the watchtower side, all the soldiers were indeed kneeling, all with serious faces, looking up at the direction Xiao Yunchen was walking towards.
Xiao Yunchen sighed silently, looked at the leading generals, and asked helplessly: "What are you generals doing? Why don't you get up with the soldiers? Seeing that the war is coming, you should seize the time now.
Training and preparation for war is the priority, why waste time here?"
