Regarding Nanling's actions, Nanzhao and Dongao were watching closely, but Chu Han and Xie Yao did not pay attention.
Nanling's decision not to send troops would be beneficial to them, and they would have more time to find the whereabouts of Ksitigarbha Lotus.
However, this situation did not last long.
Five days later, news came again from the border of Nanling Kingdom.
Fengyi Palace.
"To report to the Emperor, the reason why Nanling Kingdom is holding back its troops has been found out. It is because the Emperor of Nanling Kingdom suddenly became seriously ill and it is said that he will not be able to survive for long." After Wu Feng got the news, he came over to report it as soon as possible.
Chu Han was having dinner with Xie Yao when he heard this and raised his eyebrows, "Seriously ill? I remember that the Emperor of Nanling Kingdom is in good health and has no hidden diseases."
"That's true. All the imperial doctors of Nanling Kingdom have diagnosed and treated him, but they can't find the cause of the disease. They can only refute it by saying that the emperor of Nanling Kingdom is older, so his health is poor and he can't afford to fall ill." Wu Feng said truthfully.
Xie Yao suddenly felt something in her heart and asked Xiang Wufeng, "The Emperor of Nanling Kingdom has always been in good health before. Did he have problems in the past few days?"
"yes."
"The body is exhausted and the cause of the disease cannot be found, so it cannot be cured?"
"Exactly."
Xie Yao narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at Chu Han, "Do you feel that this symptom is very similar to that of the imperial grandmother?"
Chu Han nodded slightly with a serious expression, "Are you talking about the heart-piercing Gu? If it is really Cai Tianyun, it will take time for her to return to Nanling Kingdom, and it will take time for the heart-piercing Gu to develop from taking it."
"It has been less than ten days since we took Cai Tianyun away from Lingyu, and it is not enough for Cai Tianyun to rush back to Nanling."
Xie Yao's eyes deepened, "What if that person had an informant in the capital of Nanling and passed the Gu back on a flying pigeon? Or, what if there was a heart-piercing Gu in the capital of Nanling?"
To be in good health all the time, but suddenly become seriously ill, this situation may not be surprising to ordinary people, but for the king of a country, an emperor who is surrounded by many famous doctors, it is very unusual.
If the Emperor of Nanling had any hidden physical illness, it would be discovered and treated, and the illness would not become serious.
"It is indeed possible." Chu Han's eyes deepened, he pondered for a moment, and then told Wu Feng, "Pass on my decree, let Hong Ye lead troops to assist General Xie, and jointly encircle and suppress the army of Nanzhao Kingdom. As for Dongao Kingdom
At the border, only normal troops should be left to garrison."
"Your Majesty, do you want to take advantage of the fact that the Nanling Kingdom is not sending troops and the Dongao Kingdom is afraid of the Nanling Kingdom to repel the Nanzhao Kingdom? Great! Let's do it now!" Wu Feng understood immediately.
Chu Han's eyes lit up due to his intentions.
Xie Wenwu has been contending with Nanzhao for a long time, and he will definitely defeat Nanzhao this time!
Xie Yao smiled slightly, "There is not much time left for Prince Hong. The Emperor of Nanling may not be able to last long."
Once the new emperor ascends the throne, he will definitely send troops immediately.
Moreover, she had a vague feeling that she knew who the new emperor was about to ascend the throne.
"It doesn't matter. Even if Nanling Kingdom sends troops, I will just let you go as you said before." Chu Han withdrew his gaze, looked at the dishes in front of him, put a piece of it into Xie Yao's bowl, "Eat first, there is no need to go
Thinking about trivial matters."
Xie Yao glanced at the food in the bowl, smiled, and took a piece of meat to Chu Han, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
…
In the blink of an eye, three days passed.
Compared to the tense situation on the border, the capital city of Wanqi Kingdom was peaceful, and everything was as usual, not affected by the war at the border at all.
Xie Yao and Chu Han also often tease their three little babies together to promote family bonding, and then enjoy their world together. They are so carefree.
at night.
The two of them were watching the stars and the moon on the roof, when Wu Feng brought news about Nanling Kingdom.
"Your Majesty, the emperor of Nanling Kingdom passed away and a new emperor succeeded to the throne. Moreover... all the princes of Nanling Kingdom are also dead. The causes of death are all strange and none of them have a happy ending." Wu Feng said with a somewhat expression on his face.
eccentric.
When the late emperor died, all the princes had a chance to succeed to the throne. However, at this time, all the princes died, and only one prince was left to take the throne. The situation couldn't be more obvious.
"Who is the new emperor?" Chu Han frowned slightly even though he was used to the cruelty and ruthlessness of the royal family.
"Ling Yu." Wu Feng said, "It is said that Ling Yu arrived in a hurry after the emperor of Nanling Kingdom and all the princes were dead. Therefore, even if everyone doubts Ling Yu and the emperor and princes of Nanling Kingdom,
His death is related, but there is no evidence, so we can only support him as the new emperor."
"There is also news that on the day Ling Yu ascended the throne, he canonized Miss Cai as Imperial Concubine Yun!"
"Oh?" Chu Han glanced at the night sky, which was the star with the strongest upward trend, and said lightly, "He used this trick well. In this way, Dong Aoguo will know that I have not really married Cai Tianyun.
If we send troops again, the situation will return to its previous state."
"At this time, if he sends troops to attack again, I will have no time to stop him. It's really a good plan."
"How is the battle going over there, General Xie?" Chu Han asked directly.
"Prince Hong has arrived. He and General Xie are attacking from both sides. The Nanzhao Kingdom has been defeated. It shouldn't take long to completely defeat the Nanzhao Kingdom." Wu Feng reported quickly.
"Tell General Xie and Prince Hong that after defeating the Nanzhao Kingdom, they will all return to the capital immediately and there is no need to fight." Chu Han gave the order decisively.
"Your Majesty, didn't you say that Dong'ao Congress would send troops?" Wu Feng was puzzled.
"Don't worry about it. Prince Hong led his troops back to the capital and equipped all the newly built things first, so as to catch Dong Ao Kingdom off guard!" Chu Han looked at Xie Yao with a doting smile in his eyes, "If it weren't for Yao'er
My whimsical ideas are really going to make things a bit difficult for me this time.”
The three-edged spurs and powerful crossbows that were previously built have been completed and tested, and the results are amazing!
Xie Yao has been listening quietly. Even when she heard the news that Ling Yu became the emperor of Nanling Kingdom, she was not surprised at all.
Last time, when she learned that the emperor of Nanling Kingdom suddenly fell seriously ill, she speculated that Ling Yu might be the one to ascend the throne.
The last time she saw Ling Yu, the feeling he gave her was that of a deep one, filled with hatred.
He has always been protected by Princess Minghui, which means that he has seen everything that Princess Minghui suffered and has a strong desire for power.
Ling Yu is no longer the Ling Yu she knew.
"Your Majesty, the situation has changed. This time the Nanling Kingdom sends troops, it must be directed at Ksitigarbha Lotus. We cannot allow them to enter the hinterland, but must stop them." Xie Yao thought for a moment and said in a serious voice.
"Don't worry, I have already passed on the decree to increase troops on the border, so there is no need to worry."
Just as Xie Yao was about to nod, Wu Feng on the side said quickly: "Your Majesty, there is another news that I haven't had time to say yet. After the new emperor of Nanling came to the throne, he still stationed troops on the border and did not send troops. Instead, the new emperor took Concubine Yun and set out with his party.
People were coming towards the capital, and they had just passed the border when they got the news."
