?After returning to the palace, Huai Jun sent Chen Pu back to the Hall of Zhaohe, but unexpectedly a eunuch from the Hall of Huairen was waiting for him.

Speaking of which, the people from Huairen Hall repeatedly approached Huai Jun to find Zhaohe Hall, and the people in the palace gradually realized Chen Pu's identity, especially those from Zhaohe Hall and Renfu Palace, they all knew about Chen Pu. In Huaijun's heart, it has a different meaning.

As soon as Huai Jun heard that Min Xuan had something important to ask him, and asked Chen Pu to have a good meal, he hurried to Huairen Hall with the eunuch.

"Your Highness, you are finally here." Min Xuan waited for Huai Jun all afternoon, feeling angry in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it.

"Yes." Huai Jun explained: "Prime Minister Mo asked me to invite Master Mingxin to be the host of the ceremony."

After listening, the anger in Min Xuan's heart subsided, and he said in a daze: "Yes, there are only two days left."

For Minxuan, these ten days passed quickly, but also very slowly. What was fast was that his painful days in the past were coming to an end, and what was slow was that he was always afraid of failure, and the time passed became more and more frightening.

——It’s only two days!

Min Xuan regained his focus, spread out the sheepskin map on the desk, pointed to a waterway leading to the capital, and said, "Your Highness, according to the report from the spies, the second emperor dispatched another batch of Ding'an troops to the capital, and it is expected to arrive in the capital tomorrow night."

Huai Jun was startled secretly, but still pretended to be calm. He really didn't expect Nuo Xu to have such a move, let alone that they would use this move.How could he spare them when he dispatched troops to Beijing in such a grand manner, after he ascended the throne of God?

"It seems that the eldest brother is determined to win the throne." Huai Jun's eyes were sharp, and he said sharply: "But he should also weigh his own status!"

"So he can only put all his eggs in one basket." Min Xuan said contemptuously, "The only way left for him is to force the palace."

"What do you think?" Huai Jun asked, and then sat in front of the desk, resting his chin, thinking and listening to Min Xuan's analysis.

"The Dingwu army brought by General Jiang is not many, and the Ding'an army will be transferred to Beijing. I'm afraid it will be difficult to compete." Minxuan said with a frown.

"What about the troops in Beijing?"

"General Peng has the upper hand."

Rather than saying that Nuo Xu didn't weigh his identity, it's better to say that he saw the situation clearly early on.So from the very beginning, he never thought of ascending to the throne in a legitimate way. All the arrangements he made over the years were all for the future.

However, after Minxuan waited for so many years, he would never just watch Nuoxu seize the throne!

"Please forgive me, Your Highness." Min Xuan suddenly bowed his hands and said, "Because Your Highness hasn't returned, Min Xuan made a decision privately."

"What decision?"

Min Xuan approached Huai Jun's ear, and whispered the decision: "Burn the army rations."

As soon as the words fell, Huai Jun smelled the thick smoke of the fire, and he said appreciatively: "Min Xuan, you did a good job on this matter." Then he added: "But there is only tomorrow, even if their rations are burned, it will be too late." Can't stop them.

The two glanced at each other, and finally set their eyes on the map in unison—the Ding'an army came from the waterway, but this waterway did not go directly to the capital, but had to pass through Shanghe City first, and then pass through the pass before reaching the capital.

Min Xuan's eyes lit up, and he said, "As long as we stop them in Shanghe City, they will lose all power when the imperial decree is opened."

Huai Jun nodded in agreement, thought again, and then untied the crown prince's token tied around his waist, and handed it to Min Xuan: "You take my token immediately, and Song Leyu goes to Shanghe City to rent the right of way. Close the city gate and prevent the Ding'an army from entering the city."

"Your Highness?" Min Xuan looked at Huai Jun suspiciously, unable to believe this method.

"Up to now, this is the only way." Huai Jun also knew that this was not the best way, but he said, "I hope Wang Aimin is like a son, and he won't force his way."

Min Xuan came over knowingly, and immediately said: "I'll go there now."

On the other hand, Yong Ting also came to Shangyang Hall angrily.He forcefully pushed open the door of the front hall, and seeing that there was no one there, he had no choice but to order someone to call Nuo Xu and Mo Huichuan.

Hearing Yong Ting's arrival, Nuo Xu and Mo Huichuan, who had just left the palace, hurried to the front hall without even having time to change their clothes.

"What happened?" Nuo Xu sat next to Yong Ting, his breath still a little messy.

"The rations of the Ding'an Army were burned." Yong Ting said with a straight face.

"What?" Nuo Xu said in amazement, without thinking about it, Huai Jun did it, but their harvest was extremely secretive, how could they know?

Yong Ting anticipated Nuo Xu's question, so he said: "Someone has sneaked into the Ding'an Army, and there have been some unfavorable rumors spreading in the Ding'an Army in the past few days. Unexpectedly, the army rations were burned before the person was caught."

"And what about the person who set the fire?"

"I caught him, but he committed suicide." After saying that, Yong Ting couldn't hold back his temper anymore, stood up, and slapped the table with his palm.There was a loud sound, which startled Nuo Xu.

Nuo Xu frowned, pursed her lips, and remained silent.

Yong Ting knew that he was too excited and made Nuo Xu unhappy, so he could only sit down resentfully, and whispered: "Brother Huang, can you do something?"

After a while, Nuo Xu responded: "There is no need for a solution, there is only one day left, and food is not a big problem." He paused, and then expressed his worries: "It's just that if someone sneaks into the Ding'an Army, how much we can do it?" The matter of mobilizing troops..."

Before he finished listening to the words, Yong Ting couldn't hold back anymore, he slapped the table with his palm, and said through gritted teeth: "They know."

Mo Huichuan interjected, "But even if we know it now, it won't help, will it?"

"Yeah," Nuo Xu responded casually, and the next moment, he also patted the table and said loudly, "That's not right!"

Yong Ting looked at Nuo Xu nervously, and only listened to Nuo Xu's order: "Go back to Sichuan, take people to Shanghe City immediately to meet the Ding'an Army, and report back quickly if there is anything wrong."

Mo Huichuan didn't ask any questions, just answered "Yes" and exited the Shangyang Hall.

"They will go to Shanghe City to stop the Ding'an Army?" Yong Ting said belatedly. After seeing Nuo Xu nodding, his reaction became fierce: "I'll go with Guard Mo! I don't believe they can stop me !" After that, before Nuo Xu could speak, he walked away quickly, but before he stepped out of the front hall, Nuo Xu stopped him.

"Yongting! Leave this matter to Huichuan, you have more important things."

"what?"

"Steady Ding'an's heart."

"But!" Yong Ting was about to refute, but was blocked by Nuo Xu's sentence "They only listen to you", so he could only nod in agreement.

Only then did Nuo Xu breathe a sigh of relief, Yong Ting was too impulsive, he was afraid that something irreversible would happen to Yong Ting when he met people from Huai Jun after he went to Shanghe City, so he could only leave him in the palace.

After Yong Ting left, Nuo Xu stood alone in front of the window, staring at the dark night, thinking in his heart - what should I do right?

That night, Minxuan went to the Hall of Qihe to look for Song Leyu, but Song Leyu was sick in bed.When Song Leyu learned of their plan, he had no choice but to take out his jade token and give it to Minxuan, asking him to go to the Song Mansion to get the money.

After getting Song Leyu's jade card, Min Xuan took Pang Zhan out of the palace.At the same time, Mo Huichuan also left the palace.

There was another person who secretly left the palace with Nuo Xu's letter.
