The mistress is reborn, no one who bullies me can escape
Chapter 214: Princess, are you sure you want to do this?
Boss Xue's eyes, which were originally calm as water, suddenly flickered slightly, like a meteor across the night sky. He looked directly at the emperor and asked slowly, "Your Majesty, how do you plan to deal with this matter?"
The emperor's face darkened, and he gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sentence: "I will definitely kill the third prince!"
After hearing this, Boss Xue slowly lowered his head and did not look at the emperor, but he still insisted, "Your Majesty, the Third Prince is your biological son after all. I hope Your Majesty can think carefully about this matter and consider it again and again."
However, Boss Xue's words were like adding fuel to the fire. Not only did they fail to calm the emperor's anger, but they made it burn even more fiercely.
The emperor's expression became more serious and solemn, even revealing a hint of ferocity. He shouted angrily, "This is simply nonsense! Although he is my son, he dared to commit such a rebellious act. Did he have any regard for the father-son relationship before taking action?"
"Did you ever think for even a moment that I was his biological father? He deserves death for such a rebellious act!"
Boss Xue listened to the emperor's angry rebuke, his face remained calm, showing no panic or flattery. He just whispered again: "Your Majesty, please think calmly and don't act impulsively."
But at this time, the emperor was already blinded by anger and would not listen to other people's advice.
He just waved his hand and shouted loudly: "I have done my best for him. Come... take the audacious Third Prince to the execution ground and execute him immediately!" As the emperor gave the order, the whole space seemed to tremble.
The emperor was furious at this time, and his whole body exuded a terrifying aura.
However, at this moment, Boss Xue saw that the time was up, and hurried forward to persuade: "Your Majesty, please calm down! This matter must not be handled so hastily."
The emperor was so angry that his face turned blue, veins popped out on his forehead, his eyes widened, and his expression became extremely solemn. He shouted angrily: "What's wrong? Tell me quickly!"
Boss Xue hurriedly bowed and responded carefully: "Your Majesty, the blessing has not yet been completed. Even though the Third Prince has committed a heinous crime, he is still a member of the royal family after all."
"If... we kill him now, it will probably have an adverse effect on the fortune of the royal family, causing it to gradually decline."
Upon hearing this, the emperor snorted coldly and asked with disdain, "Can't I even punish a rebellious son?"
Obviously, the emperor was completely disappointed with his son. At this moment, he had only murderous intentions in his heart and wanted to execute the third prince immediately to ensure the stability of his country.
Boss Xue quickly apologized with a smile, "Your Majesty, please calm down. It's not that we can't kill him, but we just need to choose the right time to do it."
Then, he further explained: "Your Majesty might as well wait until the prayer is over before executing him. By then, the fate of the country will have been determined. Even if the third prince dies, it will definitely not affect the fate of the country. In this way, you can achieve your wish and ensure the prosperity of the country. Isn't it the best of both worlds?"
Although the anger on the emperor's face eased a little after hearing these words, he still grumbled unwillingly: "It is really hard for me to swallow this anger if I let that rebellious son live longer."
The emperor's face was so gloomy at the moment, as if water could drip out of it, and there was murderous intent in his eyes. It was obvious that he was serious about taking the life of his own son.
Boss Xue naturally knew the emperor's thoughts, but he did not show any panic. Instead, he smiled slightly, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down! Although killing the third prince is only a trivial matter, if it makes all the efforts your majesty has made go to waste, then even if the third prince is killed a hundred times, it is probably far from enough to atone for the crime."
The emperor was slightly startled after hearing this, frowned and began to ponder.
After a moment, he nodded slowly, feeling that what the Imperial Master said made sense.
"Well, I get upset whenever I see him. So I'll do as the Imperial Master says and lock him up first. Then execute him after the blessing ceremony is over." The emperor waved his hand and made the decision.
However, at this moment, the entire imperial city had no sympathy for the prince who had made the mistake.
The emperor continued coldly, "If this matter is handed over to others, I will not be able to rest assured. In this case, I will leave it to you, the Imperial Master, to handle it."
Boss Xue bowed his head respectfully and replied, "As you wish."
At this point, the matter of how to deal with the third prince had been settled, and Boss Xue no longer had any worries or concerns.
But the emperor's mood still did not improve. He sighed worriedly: "Although the matter of the third prince has been resolved, the situation in Mobei is still serious. I wonder if the imperial master has any good plan to deal with it?" His words were full of anxiety and expectation.
The emperor frowned, his face solemn, and he was extremely anxious but could not think of any effective solution.
In desperation, he had to place all his hopes on the national teacher in front of him, as if this person was his last straw.
Boss Xue narrowed his eyes slightly, a light flashed in his eyes, and then he slowly said: "Your Majesty, this matter is indeed difficult to deal with! I have been thinking hard until now, but I still can't come up with a perfect plan."
At this time, someone said, "Master Imperial Master, how about sending General Lu to lead the army to continue northward? You know, in addition to Mobei, we still have other borders to guard."
However, as soon as this was said, someone immediately stood up to object, saying, "Absolutely not! If we withdraw troops from other places to support Mobei at this moment, once the news is heard by other small countries around us, they will definitely take the opportunity to attack us. By then, the situation will be out of control and the whole country will fall into chaos!"
Everyone was talking about it, and there was a lot of noise for a while.
The emperor rubbed his temples, feeling very troubled.
After careful consideration, he believed that the most urgent task was to find a way to send someone to lead the troops to Mobei to provide reinforcements.
After much thought, it seems that the only way to solve this urgent problem is to ask General Xue, who has made great military achievements, to come out of retirement.
But at this moment, Xue Laoda refuted it on the spot without hesitation: "Your Majesty, my father has devoted his whole life to the State of Jin, and even sacrificed his life for it."
"It's a pity... my father is currently in Kyoto, which is a long way from Mobei. Even if I rush over now, I'm afraid it will be too far to quickly resolve the current crisis."
The emperor was naturally clear-headed and fully aware of the stakes involved. His expression became increasingly serious. He frowned and asked in a low voice, "According to what you said, is there really no way to deal with this?"
Boss Xue remained silent, which made the emperor even more melancholy and depressed. He looked up at the sky, let out a long sigh and then let out a long cry: "Could it be that the God intends to destroy my dynasty?" His voice was so sad that it resounded through the sky.
Time passed minute by minute, and there was silence all around, with only the emperor's sighs echoing in the air.
After a long time, Boss Xue finally spoke slowly, "Your Majesty, I think we are not completely helpless."
As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a ray of dawn piercing through the heavy haze. The emperor instantly perked up, and his originally dull eyes suddenly burst into excitement.
"Oh? Tell me quickly, what good plan do you have? Feel free to speak directly." The emperor urged impatiently.
Boss Xue hesitated for a moment, then answered carefully, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is currently in the south. A few days ago, I heard that Your Highness the Crown Prince went to Mobei for some business."
"As for where he is right now... I really don't know, but I am thinking that if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really in the north as the rumors say, then his trip to Mobei this time might be a perfect opportunity."
After hearing this, the emperor's face became solemn. Although he knew in his heart that this was a feasible plan, for some reason, he felt an indescribable discomfort deep in his heart.
The Crown Prince is his own flesh and blood. Ever since the Third Prince got into trouble, he has become the only child he can rely on and trust, especially in this volatile situation.
Mobei suddenly marched south, which was a worrying change in itself.
What if... What if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince goes to the frontline and unfortunately encounters an accident and loses his life? When the emperor thought of this, his heart felt like it was being tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and the pain was unbearable.
So, who should be entrusted with the management of this beautiful land? This question was like a heavy stone weighing on the emperor's heart, making him unable to sleep or eat.
Boss Xue, who was standing by, naturally understood the worries and struggles deep in the emperor's heart. He smiled and said softly, "Your Majesty, now that the Mobei army is approaching, our dynasty is indeed facing the dilemma of having no one available."
"If we send the Crown Prince to resist the foreign enemies at this time, it would be a great opportunity for him to gain experience! If the Crown Prince can win the battle and return triumphantly, wouldn't it be a good opportunity to show his outstanding talents and leadership style to the entire Jin Dynasty?"
"In this way, Your Majesty can rest assured to hand over this huge country to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Moreover, doing so will also conform to the will of the people. The people will surely applaud your wise decision!"
Although every word of these words made sense, the emperor was still deeply attached to his son, and he still felt reluctant and unwilling to let his beloved son put himself in danger.
"Is there really no one else to choose?"
The emperor frowned, his heart aching as if it was being cut by a knife. He really didn't want to make such a difficult decision.
However, Boss Xue, who was standing aside, had his eyes flickering constantly, as if he had other plans.
Boss Xue clasped his hands and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, this matter concerns the fate of our country. You must not delay or hesitate! I hope Your Majesty can make a prompt decision and make up your mind as soon as possible."
The emperor felt conflicted, but when he thought of the beautiful mountains and rivers and the foundation that would last for generations, he took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said with pain: "Well, in this case, then let's do as the imperial teacher says and send His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." After he finished speaking, the emperor closed his eyes helplessly, as if all the strength in his body had been drained away.
Upon hearing the emperor's decision, the corners of Xue's mouth rose slightly, revealing an elusive smile, and then he flattered: "Your Majesty is wise. Such a decision will surely ensure peace and prosperity for our country."
After the emperor made this decision, he felt even more depressed.
At this time, Elder Xue hurriedly spoke up again and advised: "Your Majesty, there are many national affairs at the moment. Although praying for blessings is important, it also requires long-term planning."
"Please come back to the palace, Your Majesty. I will arrange all the matters related to the prayer properly, and then I will respectfully welcome Your Majesty to come."
The emperor was full of worries at the moment and had no time to pray.
Although the situation in Mobei has been handed over to the Crown Prince, there are still many follow-up matters to be resolved.
It was indeed inconvenient to stay in Huangshan Temple. After thinking about it, the emperor finally nodded and said, "Well, let's do as the Imperial Master said. I will return to the palace immediately from today."
"Yes, sir." Boss Xue bowed hurriedly to accept the order.
After some talks, Boss Xue and the Emperor finally reached an agreement.
However, at this moment, Xue Jinhua stepped into the house, and her face suddenly became extremely serious, as if she had sensed the coming storm.
"Guyu, help me get ready!" Xue Jinhua said anxiously.
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw that Guyu had a set of clothes in his hand, and this set of clothes was exactly the same as the one Xue Jinhua was wearing at the moment.
"Crown Princess, have you really decided to do this?" Guyu was filled with worry, not because she thought the Crown Princess herself would be in great danger, but because she knew that the Crown Princess was pregnant with an unborn child.
If there is any mistake in this process, the consequences will be disastrous.
But Xue Jinhua had made up her mind: "At this point, I can no longer care about so many things. The matter of the third prince is indeed strange. If I don't get to the bottom of it, I will never feel at ease."
Compared to her personal maid Qingyi, Guyu is not only proficient in medicine, but also has mastered the exquisite art of disguise.
Although she herself is unable to go out due to her status, she can, with a little trickery, make Xue Jinhua dress up as Guyu, and then go to the place where the third prince is imprisoned to find out what's going on, and find out the secret hidden behind Boss Xue.
