Rebirth: Phoenix Palm Nine Heavens

Xu Zhihui eventually entered the emperor's harem as concubine Xu. Of course, she also attracted the resentment of many concubines in the harem.

Xiao Jinse and Prince Su returned to the palace, and just as they were about to rest, they saw the secret guards hurriedly coming to report that the deposed prince had borrowed 50,000 troops from Dong Li and was heading westward towards the capital of South Vietnam.

King Su curled his lips slightly when he heard the news, "I didn't expect that he would go to Dongli Kingdom to borrow troops. It's just that if he borrowed these troops, it's hard to repay the debt."

"Nan Yue and Dong Li have always been on the same page. Why did they agree to lend him 50,000 troops and be so confident that Nangong Yi will succeed?"

"Back to the princess, it is said that the deposed prince promised Emperor Dongli that if he helped him ascend the throne as emperor, he would cede ten cities as a thank you gift."

"Ten cities? What a big deal. For the sake of his own ambition, he actually didn't care about the life and death of the people." Xiao Jinse said angrily.

"You are still pregnant with the child, so don't be angry." Prince Su said, gently stroking Xiao Jinse's back.

"The people of Dongli are brave and good at fighting. The defenders in the east may not be able to hold on now." Xiao Jinse said solemnly.

"That's not necessarily true. Thousands of armies are easy to come by, but good generals are hard to find. Without a good general, let alone an army of fifty thousand, even Dongli's black-armored army would be useless." King Su comforted him.

"We need to arrange manpower early, even if it's not for the one in the palace, but for the ordinary people, we can't lose."

"I will arrange the border affairs. The one in the DPRK who has the most dealings with Dong Li is the Linjiang Army. But we need to think carefully about who to send to lead.

"How is the Crown Prince of the Zhongyong Hou Mansion?"

"The Ye family of the House of Zhongyong Marquis? The old Marquis died in the battle, and his wife followed him. There was an old lady in the house who raised her grandson. If Mrs. Ye's precious grandson was sent to the battlefield, I'm afraid she would use a dragon head. The husband is beaten with a rod."

"Mrs. Ye won't beat you. Let my third brother go with him."

"Are you cheating your own third brother like this?"

"What is a trap? The children of our Xiao family are born to defend our country and protect the people. We are not here to play conspiracies and tricks with a group of women and watch their acting." Xiao Jinse curled her lips and said.

It is true that she is very tired of these things about the royal family, but who makes her like the royal man?

"Yes, yes, yes. As a husband, I naturally know the character of the Xiao family, but are you really willing to let your third brother go? He is not married yet."

"Do you look down on my third brother? You have all been deceived by my third brother's appearance. In fact, my third brother is very powerful."

"Then I will write a letter and ask my father-in-law and mother-in-law to come back."

"It's better for me to do it, so as not to let my parents scold you."

"Hahaha, my wife still loves me."

On the other side, the Xiao family who were far away in Xunyang were also preparing to return to Beijing. After all, when the deposed prince rebelled, they still had to protect the people they wanted to protect in Kyoto.

Before Xiao Jinse's letter was sent, he received news that his parents and brother had returned to Beijing.

Before the family had packed up, the palace servants hurriedly came to summon Father Xiao and the three brothers of the Xiao family to enter the palace.

Xiao Jinse and King Su were also invited into the palace.

Seeing the emperor's dejected look, Xiao Jinse couldn't help but frowned. Even if the emperor had passed his destiny, he was carefully taken care of by the imperial doctor. How could he be so haggard after not seeing him for just a few days?

"Your Majesty, your ministers will take care of things in Dongli for you. You should rest more and take care of your dragon body."

Hearing this, the emperor just waved his hand lightly, "You all should sit down."
