The mistress is reborn, no one who bullies me can escape

The queen was frightened by what happened before her, and her face turned pale with panic, "Mother, are you okay?" her voice trembling.

The Queen Mother coughed violently, and each cough seemed to use up all her strength, which was heartbreaking to hear.

After finally stopping her cough, the Queen Mother glared and roared, "What a great Imperial Master, what a great Xue family! How ambitious! How dare they covet power? Aren't they afraid of becoming a laughing stock of the world?"

The queen was also extremely shocked. She never expected that the imperial teacher would be so bold.

She hurriedly comforted the Empress Dowager, saying, "Your Majesty, please don't worry too much. The Crown Prince has not returned to the capital yet. We still have time and opportunity to deal with this matter."

However, the Queen Mother sighed deeply and said slowly, "I'm afraid that distant water cannot quench nearby fire."

The Empress Dowager was sincerely hoping that the Crown Prince would return soon, but she knew that her health was deteriorating, and she didn't know if she could hold on until the Crown Prince returned to Beijing.

Hearing this, the queen lowered her head silently, pursed her lips, and dared not say another word.

.........

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was already three days later.

Ling Yan is leading his troops in a fierce battle with the enemy...

A messenger came at full speed and handed over an urgent secret letter from Kyoto.

When Ling Yan opened it, his expression changed drastically. His originally resolute face was now filled with shock and anger.

He waved his hand fiercely and shouted loudly: "General Wang, I will leave this place to you for the time being. I must return to Kyoto immediately!"

General Wang was shocked when he heard this, and hurried forward to dissuade him, saying, "Your Highness, you must not do this! The war is in full swing right now, if you leave rashly, it will probably affect the morale of the army and lead to a reversal of the war situation!"

"My father and the great royal family are in Kyoto. I must go back."

"Your Highness, the Imperial Master is not plotting rebellion. He is just controlling the government and even leaking information. Letting Your Highness return to the capital at this time must be an ambush."

General Wang's face was solemn. "If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince goes back so easily and happens to be fooled, then our dynasty will be truly doomed."

"But………"

"Your Highness, I know you are upset, but as long as the Crown Prince does not return to the capital, the Imperial Master will not dare to ascend the throne easily. He is afraid of being laughed at by the world. So, Your Highness, we still have plenty of time."

Today, the originally turbulent and smoke-filled situation in Mobei has just shown a glimmer of hope and a slight sign of improvement.

However, at this moment, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince rashly decided to return to Kyoto, it would probably have a great impact on the morale of the army and lead to the disintegration of the military.

After all, at this critical moment, the commander's every move will affect the hearts of thousands of soldiers.

Ling Yan's face was as gloomy as water, and he had never felt so difficult and helpless as he did at that moment.

He couldn't help but mutter to himself: "But now the Crown Princess has suddenly disappeared, and I am still trapped here..."

"As the crown prince of a country, if I can't even properly protect my loved ones, my beloved wife and children, what's the point of me being the crown prince?"

The more he thought about it, the more sad and angry he became. Ling Yan could no longer suppress the surging emotions in his heart, and angrily threw his heavy and solid armor onto the cold and hard ground.

As the heavy armor collided with the ground with a dull thud, the entire tent instantly fell into deathly silence.

All the soldiers present lowered their heads, not daring to breathe, for fear of accidentally angering the Crown Prince who was already angry.

At this time, General Wang clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness, please put the overall situation first! As for the matter of the Crown Princess, I am willing to immediately dispatch an elite force to the south to search for relevant clues and find out the exact information." After saying that, he looked at Ling Yan with a firm gaze.

Upon hearing this, Ling Yan was filled with rage and had no place to vent, so he could only raise his fist and smash it hard on the ground.

There was another muffled "bang" sound, and a cloud of dust rose from the place where the fist hit.

Although he was unwilling, his reason told him that this was indeed the best solution he could think of at the moment.

Faced with the tremendous pressure brought by the enemy troops from Mobei's continuous southward invasion, Ling Yan's resentment had reached its peak.

If it weren't for this group of enemies as ferocious and brutal as hungry wolves who wantonly provoked war, burned, killed and looted everywhere, how could he have fallen into such a dilemma, to the point that he couldn't even find and rescue his most beloved people in time?

Then, Ling Yan waved his hand with a stern face and shouted loudly: "Go directly north tomorrow!" His determined gaze seemed to be able to penetrate all obstacles, just to quell this long-raging war as quickly as possible.

Time passed quickly. A few days later, when Xue Jinhua slowly opened her eyes, she found herself in a strange yet familiar room.

She blinked, trying to adjust to the light around her, and looked up at the bright ceiling of the bed above her head.

In an instant, the scenes that happened before she fell into coma flooded into her mind like a tide, replaying over and over in her mind.

As her consciousness gradually became clearer, Xue Jinhua suddenly sat up.

Her movements were a little hasty, causing her body to tremble slightly, but she didn't care. She was only concerned about the situation outside.

At this moment, a gentle voice came: "Madam, you are finally awake."

It turned out that it was the beggar master standing beside the bed, his face full of joy.

Guyu, who was standing by, was so moved that she burst into tears and said in tears: "My queen, you have worried me so much..."

Xue Jinhua coughed lightly a few times, trying to calm the discomfort in her chest.

However, she quickly adjusted her state of mind and asked anxiously, "What is the situation outside now? If we leave in such a hurry, will the Imperial Master take any action?"

The beggar master hurriedly comforted her, "Don't worry, Princess. The people of Kyoto should be fine for now. I have been studying the wordless heavenly book hard recently and finally figured out the mystery."

"It turns out that if the Imperial Master wants to successfully change his fate, he not only needs the blood of a member of the royal family, but also needs to find someone born with a good fate as a sacrifice to the heavens. So as long as you and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince do not return to the capital, the Imperial Master will never be able to achieve his goal."

However, Xue Jinhua was puzzled: "If the situation is really so critical, why should His Royal Highness be transferred out of the capital? Shouldn't His Royal Highness be sent back to the capital as soon as possible?"

The beggar master couldn't help but sigh and explained slowly: "Madam, this incident regarding His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was purely an accident. Everyone originally thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would be able to successfully return to the capital, but no one expected that an unexpected situation would happen halfway." He shook his head, a trace of regret on his face.

Hearing this, Xue Jinhua's face suddenly became solemn. She bit her lips tightly and said firmly: "But Azhe and Dad are still in the capital. No matter what, we must find a way to go back!"

The beggar master nodded and said: "Your Majesty is right. Going back is inevitable, it's just a matter of time. Nowadays, the entire court power has been controlled by the national teacher..."

After a short pause, the beggar master continued, "However, as Master said before, as long as we can find the rootless person, perhaps we can successfully resolve the current predicament."

Xue Jinhua frowned slightly when she heard this and asked, "Rootless person? Who is this person?"

The beggar master explained, "People who are born with good fortune will have brighter stars than others. The stars of lonely people with seven evil spirits will be very dim, or even without light, but it does not mean that they do not exist. However, this rootless person..."

"That's like there are no stars. That person's fate is not controlled by heaven and earth. So such a person... has no fate at all. Even the national master can't do anything about it."

Xue Jinhua understood the principle, but she was still a little worried. "Master, this... rootless person has no stars, so you can't see him, right? Where can we find him in this vast sea of ​​people?"

Moreover, it is too late. If the prince pacifies Mobei, he will definitely... By then, even if we want to stop him, it will be too late."

The beggar master also understood this truth, "Crown Princess, I know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is about to pacify Mobei. Why don't you... Madam and Guyu go to look for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. As for this rootless person... why don't you let me find him?"

If you can find it, then it's a blessing, if you can't find it, then...

"I have already made arrangements for Kyoto. Li San will be keeping an eye on it, so there will definitely not be any mistakes. As for other things... just do as Master says!" Xue Jinhua said solemnly.

After a careful examination and confirmation that the fetus in her belly was safe and sound, she finally said goodbye to the beggar master with peace of mind, and then resolutely embarked on the journey north to prepare to meet Ling Yan.

However, considering that there might be many risks in this trip, especially that one must not easily reveal one's identity and whereabouts, Xue Jinhua decided to disguise herself.

So she changed into a set of men's clothes and hid her originally delicate and beautiful face under the men's clothes.

Seeing this, Guyu couldn't help but ask, "Madam, do we really have to go find His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? The journey is long, and you are pregnant now. I am really worried that your body can't stand it!"

Xue Jinhua shook her head slightly and answered with a firm look, "No, Shangzhou is a place that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must pass through. We will wait for him there."

In fact, Xue Jinhua knew very well that the Mobei region was currently riven by war and the situation was unstable. If she insisted on continuing to move northward, it would not only be difficult to find the prince, but she might even encounter an accident and lose her life.

Long before, Xue Jinhua had asked Li San to purchase many properties all over the country, and Shangzhou was naturally no exception.

In this way, even if they suddenly went to Shangzhou, they would not attract too much attention or arouse suspicion from others.

Although everything seemed to be arranged in an orderly manner, Xue Jinhua could not let go of her concern and worry about Qingyi in her heart.

I wonder if Qingyi is safe and sound at this moment?

Although the beggar master said that she did not see Qingyi, she was still very worried deep down.

Thinking of this, she secretly thought: If I could meet Li San, I would definitely ask him to come up with a countermeasure. "

In this way, full of worries, the carriage finally arrived outside the gate of Shangzhou at dusk after several days of long journey.

At this time, the driver respectfully handed over a letter and whispered: "Madam, there is a letter for you."

Xue Jinhua knew it was from Li San as soon as she saw the letter.

The letter said that the Imperial Master had issued an order and was currently searching everywhere for the Crown Princess...

If I rush to the city gate now, I will probably be spotted and hunted down by the Imperial Master's men.

Gu Yu looked worried and said anxiously, "My queen, if we go into the city together, it will inevitably arouse other people's suspicion. Although I am proficient in the art of disguise, I am from the south after all. If I am not careful with my accent and behavior, I may reveal my flaws. Now that we are here at the same time, we will definitely not escape everyone's suspicion."

Xue Jinhua also knew the interests involved, so she made a prompt decision and decided to temporarily settle down in an inn about ten miles away from the city gate.

I originally planned to find a suitable time to sneak into the city, but I never expected that in the middle of the night when everything was quiet... I would encounter an uninvited guest.
