"The father is not the father, and the son is not the son." Xiao Qirui said with a smile, "A father like him is not worthy of calling me a rat, nor is he worthy of being the true dragon emperor."

Zheng didn't dare to speak.

Xiao Qirui knew that everything was over and he had no hope at all.

After this incident, he can forget about getting his hands on any power in the court.

The reputation and fame that had been accumulated were completely destroyed by this incident.

From the day Miss Ma swallowed gold and committed suicide, he was labeled a "villain". This incident further confirmed his reputation as a "villain".

Zheng wanted to leave secretly and didn't want to say anything to him anymore.

Xiao Qirui grabbed her and asked, "How did Sixth Sister-in-law know that I did that to you? What did you tell her?"

Zheng widened her eyes in fear and shook her head hurriedly.

......

Northern border.

The wind was so cold that it felt like a knife cutting people's faces.

Tonight is New Year's Eve, but there is no festive atmosphere in the army.

Xiao Chengji sat under a tree and carved something in his hand. It was a stone he picked up from the riverside, and after polishing it revealed a warm jade-white color.

A black eagle flew over with a piece of bright red horse meat in its beak and landed on Xiao Chengji's shoulder. It stretched its neck a few times to swallow the horse meat and rubbed Xiao Chengji's face with its hard beak.

Xiao Chengji removed the bamboo tube tied to its feet and raised his hand to push it away.

What happened in the capital was not as he expected. After he left, Yan Yu maintained the situation very well. Xiao Chengji originally thought that Xiao Qiru could take the opportunity to seize power, but he didn't expect that he underestimated Yan Yu and was tricked by Yan Yu.

Xiao Qiru suffered such a big setback that it would take at least half a year for him to recover.

Without Xiao Qirui playing tricks in the capital, Xiao Chengji felt more at ease outside.

When he saw the last few lines, Xiao Chengji's expression changed slightly.

There was actually a spy planted by Xiao Qirui in the army.

To be precise, it was someone planted by the Zheng family.

The Zheng family has been in absolute control of the Wei Dynasty for so many years. Even though they are now in decline, they still have a deeper foundation than other families.

After Xiao Qirui married into the Zheng family, he quickly replaced Xiao Jiashan's position and won the favor of Empress Dowager Zheng and Mr. Zheng. Some of the Zheng family's connections were taken over by Xiao Qirui.

Xiao Chengji's eyes gradually turned cold.

No wonder he felt that many things were not going well these days. The food and grass coming from the south were easily burned by the troops of Cang State.

At that time he felt that there was a spy in the army, but he didn't expect that there really was one.

A soldier in gray clothes was chewing dry food not far away. He put the dry food in his arms after chewing half of it, and strolled to Xiao Chengji's side.

After Wanli left the capital, she heard that there were bandits in a certain place. She was eager to become a heroine and help the people eliminate these bandits.

In the end, she was kidnapped by these people and was forced to become their concubine.

Fortunately, her uncle Ma Gong showed up with his men, wiped out the mountain and rescued her.

Afterwards, Ma Gong was ordered to go to war and confront the Cang Kingdom. Wanli thought that she could also contribute, so she might as well join the army and gain some military merit.

Afterwards, the Emperor of Cang State appeared, my uncle died, and most of the soldiers died.

Wanli didn't know whether Xiao Chengji's arrival could save the situation or avenge her uncle.

She watched as the jade in Xiao Chengji's hand gradually took shape under the carving knife.

Wanli's eyes lit up: "It's the princess!"

She really missed the princess. When she heard that the princess had given birth to a child, Wanli really wanted to go back and see her.

Xiao Chengji ignored her.

Wanli boldly asked, "Your Highness, was the princess okay when you came?"

"What does it have to do with you?"

Wanli felt his cold words and touched her nose awkwardly, then went to the other side to eat some dry food.

At this moment, a resounding voice suddenly came from outside: "Oh no! The enemy suddenly attacked!"

"..."

......

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the Lantern Festival. Because of the war, the capital city is not as lively as in previous years.

Lanterns were hung everywhere in the Prince's mansion.

Yan Yu always wanted Xiao Chengji to come back.

He left suddenly, and might come out suddenly again. Yan Yu still hoped that Xiao Chengji would appear by her side as soon as possible and both of them would be safe.

The young master was dressed very warmly and had a very delicate tiger-head hat on his head.

The child was happy to be held by Yan Yu. He looked so much like Yan Yu that Yan Yu's wet nurse even said that the prince and Yan Yu looked exactly the same when they were children.

Under the dim light, the young master screamed "ah ah" and stretched out his hand to Yan Yu, trying to grab the beads hanging from Yan Yu's temples.

Yan Yu kissed the little guy on the face.

It was really cold outside, and the young master's face was icy cold. Yan Yu quickly carried him into the house.

During this period, Yan Yu slept with her child, and the little prince slept in a small bed next to her bed.

Yan Yu put him down and warmed his face with his warm hands.

Quanfu and Yan Yu talked about some things in the palace. In fact, Quanfu could not find out much, especially since he was now assigned to the Prince's Mansion and could not appear in the palace often.

Fortunately, he came from the Empress Dowager's palace and knew the people in the Empress Dowager's room.

What he said about the Queen Mother was more reliable than what others said.

The people on the Queen Mother's side were alert, and they had risked their lives to find out this.

Quanfu said: "A few days ago, the Seventh Prince went to the Queen Mother's Palace, and the two of them talked about the situation on the front line. The general meaning was that there were people of the Seventh Prince in the army who could secretly contact the Cang Kingdom. I couldn't hear anything else."

Yan Yu felt a chill in his heart, and he felt something was not right: "Okay, go out and call Huo Wang."

Quanfu bowed his head and went down.

The wind was strong outside and the yard was brightly lit. Jin Sui'er was wearing thick clothes with snow-white rabbit fur showing through her collar, which made her face look round and red, and she looked particularly festive.

She had just eaten a bowl of glutinous rice balls stuffed with rose bean paste, and her burps tasted sweet.

Quanfu touched the child's head and let her go back to her room to sleep.

Yan Yu always felt that the recent situation was not good, so he called Huo Wang over and explained some things to him.

She wanted to transfer Ma Xiao back to the capital to prevent any military changes in the future. She asked Huo Wang to deliver a letter first so as not to alert everyone.

Huo Wang had just left. Yan Yu hadn't eaten much all day and finally felt hungry, so he took a bite of the glutinous rice balls with black sesame filling.

Recently, more than ten things have to be given instructions every day. Yan Yu eats while reading letters.

Huo Ha suddenly ran in from outside. Ning Xia and Rui Dong didn't dare to stop him and lifted the curtain to let him in.

Yan Yu frowned: "It's so late, what happened outside?"

"Crown Princess, this is bad!" Huoha said in panic, "The 30,000 troops that the Crown Prince brought with him are all gone!"
