When Shen Chumu arrived at the military camp, Beixiuyan had just received a report that the battle on the front line was going smoothly.

King Ning is invincible and can defeat the enemy in less than a month.

Vice General Zhou couldn't hide his joy. When he saw Shen Chumu, he happily invited him to drink and celebrate together, but Shen Chumu refused.

"Brother Zhou, I have something important to report to the regent." He said, then he bowed his hands and saluted the Beixiu banquet, and said with a bit of embarrassment, "This matter is not suitable to be announced to everyone, so please step aside. about."

Bei Xiuyan frowned slightly, and the joy of victory was wiped away, and he said in a deep voice: "There is nothing about this king that cannot be explained to outsiders, just speak out."

Such openness and uprightness made Shen Chumu feel even more guilty. He lifted his robe and knelt down on one knee, lowering his head to apologize.

"Your Majesty, my sister-in-law has behaved in a dissolute manner and has recently become secretly married to the prince. She is really not worthy of marrying into the palace. I beg you to break off the engagement and find another good match."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a "click" sound, and the tea cup in Bei Xiuyan's hand was crushed, with a faint flash of anger in his eyes.

The soldiers were indignant. There had been various rumors that Shen Ruzhou had an old relationship with the prince and behaved intimately. Now his brother has come to break off the engagement again, and the facts have become clear. His prince has been abandoned by a woman.

Vice General Zhou was the first to get angry, kicking Shen Chumu hard in the heart, then grabbing him by the collar and punching him several times.

Shen Chumu did not fight back and suffered the whole life. Upon seeing this, Vice General Qin hurriedly stepped forward to start a fight, "How could you be so violent in front of the prince?"

Then he winked and signaled to Vice General Zhou that everything was at the disposal of the prince.

Bei Xiuyan's face was gloomy, and his voice sounded like it came from hell, with endless silence.

"Is this what Shen Ruzhou means?"

"Yes. The daughter of the Shen family has no way to teach her, and she deserves to be so kind to the prince. Chu Mu will bear all the responsibility of the prince no matter how he wants to be punished. She will not say anything." Shen Chumu straightened his clothes and replied respectfully.

"This king wants to accuse you, but you can't afford it." Bei Xiuyan slapped his palm on the table, and the sound shook everyone's hearts.

Lieutenant General Qin was afraid that he would be upset, so he hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him, "Your Majesty, you don't want such a woman, please don't..."

Before he finished speaking, Bei Xiuyan swayed a few times, his chest heaved violently, and he spurted out a mouthful of blood, before he fainted.

"Quickly, call the military doctor." Vice General Qin hurriedly called for people to carry Beixiu Banquet to the couch. Shen Chumu also wanted to step forward to help, but was pushed directly outside the camp by Vice General Zhou.

Pots of blood were brought out from the commander's tent. Everyone knew that the regent was hurt by love and was vomiting blood.

Shen Chumu waited anxiously outside. When night fell, Vice General Zhou gave him a letter of divorce and said angrily: "Get out of here quickly. If you dare to step into the military camp again, you will be killed immediately."

Shen Chumu took the divorce letter and was about to ask about the situation at the Beixiu Banquet when the soldiers next to him raised their red tassel guns and violently drove them away.

Shen Chumu had no choice but to leave in anger.

Lu Huaining, who returned to camp after winning the battle, heard that his master fell ill and went to visit him without taking off his armor.

"Master, how are you?" Lu Huaining looked at the haggard man on the bed, his eyes filled with mist.

Bei Xiuyan weakly raised his hand and waved away the others, and then his chaotic eyes suddenly became clear. He took out the tiger charm under his pillow and put it in Lu Huaining's hand.

"Everything in the military camp is left to you. I want to return to Beijing secretly."

The person who had difficulty breathing just a moment ago now stood up and changed into his night clothes with great flexibility. Lu Huaining was stunned for a while before he reacted.

"Master, are you pretending to be sick? Why are you doing this?"

"Kingto is not at peace. I need to go back and deal with it. With so many people in the army, there is no guarantee that Xiao Chenyan will not be the spy. I must do my best."

"There has been a change in the capital. How can Master go back alone? Why don't we bring..." Lu Huaining was worried about the safety of Beixiu Banquet and wanted to persuade him to bring more people, but considering that leading troops would expose his whereabouts, he hesitated.

His mind was spinning, and a trace of determination flashed in Lu Huaining's eyes, "Master, why don't we lead the army directly back to Beijing. No matter what Xiao Chenyan's plot is, we won't be afraid."

"Huai Ning, don't act impulsively." Beixiu Yan sternly analyzed the current situation rationally and calmly.

"We suddenly led our troops back to Beijing to commit rebellion. At that time, Xiao Chenyan can justifiably summon troops from all over the place to kill us as rebellious officials and traitors. Besides, Beidi has not yet been completely defeated. Once the imperial army leaves, wouldn't it mean that the people on the border will be sent to the end? The enemy's sword."

"But Master's personal soldiers are all here. Returning to Beijing alone is like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth. It will be difficult to save yourself, let alone turn things around."

"Huaining, don't worry. I have left a team of troops in the suburbs of Beijing for a long time. Each of them can fight one against a hundred, and they will definitely catch Xiao Chenyan by surprise."

This move was planned by Bei Xiuyan early in the morning, and now it's time to use it.

Lu Huaining, who came out to visit the patient, announced that Beixiu Yan was seriously ill and needed to stay in bed, and that he would be the agent for all military matters. On the other side, Bei Xiuyan changed his clothes and quietly left the military camp under the cover of night.

Xiao Chenyan had already received a message from the flying pigeon from the north, and the corners of his lips curled up unconsciously.

Everything is under his control.

A few days later, Shen Chumu returned to Beijing with the divorce letter. Xiao Chenyan was even more satisfied. After receiving the divorce letter, he went to find Shen Ruzhou.

Seeing the familiar handwriting on it, and even splotches of blood, Shen Ruzhou's heart was as sharp as a knife, and his whole figure seemed to have had its soul sucked out, becoming numb and sluggish.

Xiao Chenyan comforted her very thoughtfully, "Ruzhou, Beixiu Yan is not a good match for you. You and I are a match made in heaven."

Shen Ruzhou's eyes were empty, and he felt as if he was in the ice and snow of winter, and his whole body was cold.

Xiao Chenyan took the opportunity to put his cloak on her body and said gently: "Ruzhou, I will always be with you and love you."

"Really?" Shen Ruzhou blinked his bright eyes, like a wounded animal seeking shelter.

Xiao Chenyan's protective desire was suddenly aroused, and he raised his arms to hold her in his arms, giving her endless warmth and tenderness.

At this time, a young eunuch ran in and reported, "Your Highness, the emperor has passed away."
