After the divorce, the princess was forced to raise a sickly villain

The atmosphere in the room was depressing.

Even though the emperor said some comforting words, they all knew that such a situation would inevitably cause the emperor and his subjects to have some thoughts before suppressing the rebellion.

The most difficult thing was that even if Ling Ancheng wanted to explain, he couldn't.

Until a sound of footsteps came from outside.

"Your Majesty, the Princess is here!"

The emperor turned his head and said, "Come in."

Chu Qinghuang, who was slender, walked through the courtyard and passed by the two ladies. She paused and looked at the face of Mrs. Ling from the second room. She said in a cold tone, "Second aunt has raised a good son. This palace has opened her eyes."

This was the first time that Chu Qinghuang called her "Second aunt". For the second wife, it was obviously not an honor.

It was like a basin of ice water poured over her head in winter, and she was so cold that she was shivering all over. Mrs. Ji from the second room turned pale. Just as she was about to speak, she saw Chu Qinghuang had already walked into the house without looking back.

The girl's back was slender and tall, as cold as a mountain, revealing a noble and coldness from above, like a phoenix looking down on all living things from the sky, noble and inviolable.

Ji's face turned pale.

Stepping over the threshold, Chu Qinghuang's eyes turned slightly and saw the emperor sitting on the chair, Ling Ancheng half lying on the bed with his elbows, Ling Anjie standing beside the bed, several doctors and imperial doctors kneeling on the ground, and the master of the imperial guards standing beside the emperor.

The people in the room, but no one spoke, all looked at Chu Qinghuang who came in.

Then realizing that they were being rude, the doctors and imperial physicians bowed their heads, and the masters beside the emperor bowed their heads silently. Ling Anjie naturally did not dare to be arrogant in front of the emperor, and walked over to bow to see the eldest princess.

"Uncle, no need to be polite." Chu Qinghuang said in a calm tone, and then looked at the emperor, "Father, do you want to summon me for something?"

"There is a rebellion in Jinghu Mountain in the northwest." The emperor said calmly, "At the morning court today, it was decided that General Ling would lead the troops to suppress the rebellion. After returning home, General Ling suddenly became ill and should not be able to go to suppress the rebellion. I plan to let you go."

Chu Qinghuang was silent for a moment: "Suppress the rebellion?"

The emperor nodded.

Chu Qinghuang said calmly, "How many soldiers are needed?"

"80,000 rebels have gathered in Jinghu Mountain, and their fighting power is still unknown. If you go, the journey is long, and you must bring at least 100,000 elite soldiers. All the soldiers and horses will be exhausted. If you bring less, I'm afraid you won't be able to successfully suppress the rebellion and capture the rebel leader within three months." The emperor frowned and said in a deep tone, "Besides, this is your first time to lead troops to fight, so bringing more soldiers will be more foolproof."

Chu Qinghuang nodded, "Yes."

"The Silver Armor Army has strong fighting power." The emperor finally got to the point, and his expression remained unchanged, "Let General Ling give you the military token, and the Silver Armor Army will be under your command for the time being."

Military token?

Ling Ancheng and Ling Anjie's faces changed at the same time, "Your Majesty?"

"Hmm?" The emperor turned his head to look at the two of them, his eyes were not angry but dignified, "Do you two have anything to say?"

Ling Ancheng's heart was beating wildly, and a sense of inexplicable uneasiness swept over him. He didn't know what caused this uneasiness, nor did he know what the emperor wanted to do, but the military token... The military token is the biggest confidence of the Ling family, why give it to Chu Qinghuang?

Although she is the daughter of Concubine Duan, Chu Qinghuang is too unruly and is not on the same line with them at all. What does it mean to give her the military token?

It means that the Ling family is no longer the largest military family in Xiqi, and no longer the strongest backing of Concubine Duan. If one day Concubine Duan or the Ling family loses the emperor's heart, the emperor wants to deal with them, and they can only let them be slaughtered.

"Uncle, are you reluctant to give up the military token?" Chu Qinghuang looked at Ling Ancheng with a cold and transparent gaze, as if she wanted to see his thoughts clearly. "It takes soldiers to suppress the rebellion. Uncle, don't you think that I can destroy the 80,000 soldiers of the rebels with my bare hands?"

"I...I don't mean that." Ling Ancheng was shocked and lowered his head quickly. The pain in his lungs became even worse, making him confused for a while. "It's just that several generals in the Silver Armor Army have bad tempers and are difficult to get along with. I'm worried-"

"Uncle, don't worry about anything." Chu Qinghuang said coldly, "I have my own way to make them obedient."

Ling Ancheng's arms softened and he lay weakly on the bed.

"Brother!" Ling Anjie quickly helped him up, "How are you?"

Ling Ancheng's face was pale and he was panting rapidly. He wanted to say something, but found that he had nothing to say at this time.

He thought that the emperor came to visit him in person to confirm whether his illness was true or not, but at this time he finally realized that the emperor came in person to ask for his military power.
