May you live in peace

On the approaching night of New Year's Eve, the news from Southwest once again made all the court ministers unable to sit still.This organization with the slogan of "returning against the sky and repeating the sage" has been put on the table again. According to Lu Zhu's message, their flag is engraved with cyan patterns, and at the corners, embroidered with golden 'Character.Many ministers changed their faces instantly after hearing it, but some ministers didn't understand why.

Yin Luo rarely put on a serious expression. Looking at the different faces of the ministers and Yin Yang's sudden frown after hearing this, he knew that this matter might not be simple.

Just when he was about to say something, suddenly a small yellow gate broke into the hall, and he knelt down on the hall.

"Bold, the court is important, how can you let a servant like you break in."

Right Prime Minister Yu Xu yelled loudly, but the little Huangmen didn't seem to hear it, but said to Yin Luo.

"Second Princess, this servant deserves to die, but Duke Ning suddenly vomited blood and passed out, so this servant rushed in desperately."

"what?"

Yin Luo stood up 'crashly', with horror on his face, and the surrounding ministers were also shocked, and they all looked at Xiaohuangmen.

"Mr. Ning Guo rushed to the gate of the palace just now. The servants wanted to stop the Duke, but the Duke suddenly vomited blood and fell into a coma. He is now outside the hall. The servants and others did not know what to do, so they had to risk their lives to break into the hall. May the second princess forgive me."

Yin Luo didn't pay attention to the little yellow gate, but hurried down to the hall, passed all the ministers, and went outside the gate of the hall.The ministers all looked at each other and followed out of the hall.

Outside the gate of the front hall, several small yellow gates and guards gathered together, putting Ning Guo Gong Fan Yu'an aside, and only moved away when Yin Luo and the ministers came out.

"what happened?"

Yin Luo saw that Fan Yu's mouth was still stained with blood, his face was pale and sick.

"The slaves don't know, the Duke suddenly fell into a coma and fell to the ground."

"Why are you still standing in a daze, help the Duke to go to the side hall, and ask the imperial physician to come over."

Yin Luo scolded Xiao Huangmen, Xiao Huangmen quickly nodded in response, and then ran to Tai Hospital.

Yin Luo followed a group of guards and took Fan Yu to the side hall, and asked people to cancel today's morning court, and discuss it the next day.The ministers couldn't help but looked at each other, not knowing how to react, but seeing this sudden situation, they didn't know what else to say, they just answered 'yes' and didn't leave, wanting to know what happened to Duke Ning.After all, according to Duke Ning's status, he has always been valued by the eldest princess, and he still has a part of Youzhou's military power in his hands. If something happens, some people will inevitably be jealous.

In the side hall, the imperial physician was taking Fan Yu's pulse, Yin Luo was standing not far away, and beside him were Yin Yang, Yin Yao and several high-ranking ministers.Seeing the imperial physician's frown tightened, the hearts of several people were ever-changing.

"Second princess, please take a step to speak."

The imperial physician lifted the medicine box and saluted Yin Luo.

Yin Luo nodded, walked to the screen, looked at the imperial physician and asked.

"Old doctor, how is the Duke?"

The imperial physician sighed and said, "Alas, Second Princess, the Duke's situation is not optimistic. I can only open a few more pharmacies now, hoping to alleviate the Duke's symptoms. Everything depends on God's will."

Yin Luo frowned, is it so serious?But he still smiled and said to the doctor.

"It's too much trouble."

The imperial physician shook his head and dared not say anything, then he carried the box and went outside to prescribe the medicine.

The people waiting outside saw the movement inside and the emotional outpouring that the second princess hadn't had time to stop, and guessed that the Duke's situation might not be very good.

After three days in a row, all the ministers were busy making preparations for the approaching New Year, and all the palaces were filled with joy.

Just when a group of ministers were preparing to welcome the new year, the eldest princess, who had not been in court for many months, actually issued an order.The general content is that the changes in the northwest region have become more frequent, and coupled with another urgent report two days ago, the eldest princess decided to go to the northwest to resolve the matter in person.

As soon as this decree was made, there was an uproar, and the faction dominated by Da Honglu resolutely opposed it, and they all surrounded the eldest princess's mansion, hoping that she would withdraw the decree.The general even guarded outside the eldest princess's mansion non-stop, hoping that Yin Xi could see him.Seeing this, Yin Xi had to summon the general and others.The content of the meeting was almost to persuade her to cancel the will. After all, the incident in the northwest was sudden and clueless, and the eldest princess went there rashly, lest something unexpected happen.

Yin Xi looked at the veterans who had been with her for many years, who had always been loyal, and first got up and made a bow, which surprised everyone sitting across from him to stand up and pay homage.

"General, this matter has also been briefly mentioned to you in the letter. The decision to go to the Northwest this time is not a whim. There are many things involved, and I need to investigate and resolve it myself."

"But, princess, if you leave the capital, what happens in the palace?"

"Luo Er is still in court, and I hope that Da Honglu and the Great General will assist her a lot."

"Naturally." The general bowed again, seeing that the Eldest Princess didn't suddenly make this decision today, and also vaguely guessed that these matters might involve some secrets inside the royal family, so he kept silent.

"Princess, please send some troops to follow you."

Seeing the concern in his eyes, Yin Xi couldn't help answering with a smile, recalling the old general's usual stern temperament.

"Thank you, General. However, I will not bring the General's guards with me this time, but there is one thing that the General needs to prepare in advance."

"Princess, please tell me."

"I need the general's guards to 'follow me'."

Yin Xi bit the last few words hard on purpose, and all the ministers present looked at each other in blank dismay, trying to understand the meaning of the eldest princess' words.

Yin Xi was not in a hurry to explain, but just dipped his fingers into the teacup, first drew a circle on the table, and then tapped it a few times.

Gao Jianping instantly understood the meaning, only to see Yin Xi raised his finger and shook it gently.The general also saw the interaction between the two, and spoke to Yin Xi.

"The minister will leave this matter to Gao Gao Lang Jiang."

"Thank you, General."

The general shook his head and said he didn't dare, then took out the token in his arms and handed it to Gao Jianping.Seeing that the matter was almost discussed, Yin Xi handed over the things prepared in advance on the desk to a group of ministers.After all, even if she is not in court, she cannot let those people mess around.

After seeing off Da Honglu's group of people, Yin Xicai leaned on the cushion to rest, recalling the vague scene of that night, who is that little maid, and why did she feel so warm and comfortable?Let her fall asleep drunk by her side without any precautions.

Slowly rubbing a small piece of medicine stone in her hand, this is what she was holding in her hand when she woke up, presumably it belonged to that little maid.Sniffing it with the tip of her nose, there was a familiar smell mixed with the smell of medicine, Yin Xi sighed, put it away again, and put it in her arms.

"The eldest princess, the second princess is here."

Seeing Yin Luo walking towards her, Yin Xi straightened her body and regained her senses.

Five days later, on the day of New Year's Eve, the princess's team to go to the northwest was already at the gate of the city, ready to go.

Yin Xi didn't bring many people with him. Three light infantry and one light cavalry, dressed in Chinese army uniforms, followed around.

Yin Xi did not ask the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs to see him off, but set off before dawn in the early morning.In the unlit dawn, only Dao seemed to be watching the departing team.Under the tree near the city gate, a woman in an ordinary white shirt watched the figure of the horse go away without taking her eyes off it.The man on the horse seemed to have sensed it too, but when he turned around, he only saw the closed city gate.Turning around, resting his head on the jade bracelet on the back of his hand, he said "speed up".

It wasn't until dawn that the minister realized that the eldest princess was on her way to the northwest. At this time, she didn't know how far her team had traveled.

Standing on the tower, Yin Luo looked at the snow stretching for thousands of miles in the distance. The horseshoe prints on it had long since disappeared into the white snow. He took out the kit from his sleeve, but did not open it.Seeing the guards and soldiers patrolling the city gate, Yin Luo took a deep breath, and everything began.
