The Four Concubines

"When will the emperor wake up..."

"Miss Chen, please go out, otherwise we will take extraordinary measures."

"It's a matter of great importance..."

It's the voices of Chen Wei and No. [-]...

"Hmm..." Yun Xiao on the bed spoke weakly.

"Your majesty, are you awake?" Chen Wei asked quickly when he heard Yun Xiao's voice.

"Miss Chen, please go out!" No. [-] frowned sharply.

"Water..." Yun Xiao said hoarsely.

Chen Wei took the opportunity to trot to the table, poured a glass of warm water, and carefully brought it to Yun Xiao's mouth.

Yun Xiao took it and took a sip to moisten her throat. The cool feeling of moistening made Chaos's mind a little clearer. She looked at Chen Wei and asked hurriedly, "Did you win?"

Chen Wei nodded, and briefly reported the situation of the battle, "We won, and Kepler and the second prince were captured alive."

Yun Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.

"I just heard you calling me, what happened?" Yun Xiao recalled the conversation she just heard.

Chen Wei's face was solemn, "If possible, please go and see for yourself."

No. [-] hurriedly said, "No, Your Majesty, you haven't recovered yet."

However, Yun Xiao had already started to put on boots for herself. If Chen Wei could say that, something difficult might have happened, but his legs were still a little weak. Yun Xiao got up suddenly and almost fell back.

No. [-] was helpless, so he had to rush over to help him. Chen Wei put a big mask on Yun Xiao, and supported Yun Xiao's other arm.

When the three of them got out of the tent, Yun Xiao saw the soldiers holding hot porridge, looked up at the sky, it was noon.

"The emperor is awake!"

"The emperor finally woke up!"

"Great!"

When the soldiers who were close saw Yun Xiao waking up, they were pleasantly surprised. Yun Xiao smiled and waved to everyone without airs, "Everyone has worked hard. When I return to Pingcheng, I will treat you to a good meal."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

……

The winter in the Gobi is different from the Northland and Liaojiang. It is a dry place, so there is no intensive snowfall. Even if there is, there is only a few thin snowfalls. I felt quite surprised in my heart, but when I turned my gaze, my face became ugly.

The Guangxia royal court was shrouded in a strange cloud of yellow smoke. Occasionally, a wind would blow away a small part of the yellow smoke, and the surrounding yellow smoke would quickly fill it up, preventing people from peeking into the entire royal court.

Yun Xiao knew that these yellow smokes were not a good thing without thinking.

"What's going on?" Yun Xiao asked.

"I don't know. After the war ended that day, bursts of yellow smoke appeared in the sky of Guangxia Royal Court the next day. At first, it was just like cooking smoke, and we didn't care about it. It's only been five days now, and the entire Guangxia Royal Court has become like this." Number One explained.

"You didn't go to investigate on your own, didn't you?" Yun Xiao asked, but he was clear in his heart, and it was impossible not to send someone there on the [-]st.

"Going." No. [-] replied honestly, "But it didn't go too deep, and took some protective measures. It didn't get too close, and it didn't find out what it was specifically, but..."

No. [-] paused, leaned closer to Yunxiao's ear, and whispered, "The dark guard reports back, the smell of yellow smoke is very similar to the smell after a rocket explodes."

"Sulphur?" Yun Xiao raised an eyebrow.

Number One nodded.

too weird……

Sulfur is a solid. Even if there is gas in this era, it is impossible to have the technology to make gaseous sulfur. The yellow smoke should be sulfur dioxide produced after burning sulfur...

"Have you seen blue flames in the royal court these days?" Yun Xiao asked.

"No." Number One shook his head.

"Your Majesty." Chen Wei suddenly said.

"En?" Yun Xiao turned to look at Chen Wei.

"I know this request may be very confusing to you, please save the people in the royal court." Chen Wei's face was serious.

"What? The people in the royal court didn't come out?" Yun Xiao's expression changed drastically.

"No, General Changsun has arranged patrols at a safe distance. Since the appearance of the yellow smoke, the gate of the royal city has never been opened." No. [-] replied with a frown.

Yun Xiao's complexion became very ugly, the war is not as good as the common people, not to mention the yellow smoke is too strange, what on earth is the Guangxia royal court going to do!

"Bring the Second Prince of Guangxia to see me." Yun Xiao said.

Changsun Wuchen, who was deploying the sentry outside, heard that Yun Xiao had woken up, and personally pressed Guangxia's second prince to see Yun Xiao.

"Kneel down!" Changsun Wuchen's lieutenant kicked the second prince's leg.

The second prince gritted his teeth and just planted his body, straightened his standing, and looked at Yun Xiao with a rebellious expression.

"That's all." Yun Xiao stopped the lieutenant who wanted to continue to take action.

"What happened to the yellow smoke in the royal court?" Yun Xiao asked bluntly.

Hearing the words, the second prince's face changed slightly, he turned his head to look in the direction of the Guangxia Royal Court, and murmured with a complicated expression, "Axue..."

Yun Xiao raised her eyebrows, the second prince really knew something, "What exactly are you planning to do?"

The second prince turned around, his eyes full of contempt, "Emperor Daqin also has something he doesn't know, isn't it said that Emperor Qin Yunxiao is the immortal incarnation of Daqin for thousands of years? There are other things you don't know?"

"The general trend of the world, the long-term will be united, and the long-term will be divided. Only history is immortal." Yun Xiao was very calm.

The second prince snorted coldly, he didn't understand the literary stuff.

"How many people are there in your royal court?" Yun Xiao changed the question.

"Oh? Emperor Daqin is so concerned about it, why don't you go and see for yourself." The second prince snapped back stiffly.

"Ever since you were captured alive and Guangxia was defeated, no one came out of Wangting. Those yellow smoke is the product of burning sulfur. Do you know the consequences of continuing like this?" Yun Xiao said expressionlessly.

"Don't frame me, with Axue here, I, Guangxia, will definitely achieve immortality!" The second prince said loudly.

"Is it Princess Yinxue?" Chen Wei who was at the side suddenly asked.

"Huh? Do you know Ashue?"

"I met once before." Chen Wei replied simply.

Yun Xiao frowned, for the time being, she couldn't come up with anything for the second prince, and she didn't know the situation of the Guangxia Royal Court either...

"Report!"

The sentinel shouted loudly from the tent.

Changsun Wuchen looked at Yun Xiao, and after seeing Yun Xiao nodding, he said to the outside, "Come in and talk."

"Tell the emperor and the general that there is a Guangxia man outside the station who wants to meet the emperor and tell him something important." The sentinel replied.

"Let him in." Yun Xiao nodded.

The visitor entered the account and bowed to Yun Xiaoyao as a salute, but Yun Xiao was a little surprised when he saw the visitor, it was the "leader" from before.

"Come to see me at this time? What happened?" Yun Xiao asked.

The leader glanced at the second prince, and then turned his gaze back, "There is a legend in the Guangxia royal court. There is a golden pond under the royal court. When it is lit with fire, it can be seen that the will-o'-the-wisp and the accompanying energy can cast immortality!"

The second prince was shocked, "Who are you? Only the Guangxia royal family knows about this, how did you know!"

Yun Xiao frowned and said absurdly, "So that Princess Yinxue just ignited the so-called golden pool, using the entire royal court as test subjects, intending to forge an immortal army?"

"So what?" The second prince's words no longer had the strength he had just said.

"Guangxia Royal Court... I'm afraid it's a dead city." Yun Xiao said coldly.

"What do you mean?" The second prince felt uncomfortable.

"The so-called golden pool should be sulfur ore, and the purity should be quite high. The sulfur ore burns to form a blue flame, which is the so-called will-o'-the-wisp. The associated gas is poisonous to people. Look at the concentration above the royal court. , the people inside should suffocate to death, and the so-called immortality refers to the immortality of corpses, not the immortality of living people." Yun Xiao explained in concise and easy-to-understand language.

"Impossible! Axue won't lie to me! You're the one who lied to me, right!" The second prince shouted at Yun Xiao at the top of his lungs.

"I don't need to lie to you. Instead, it's you. What is the reason for the sudden dispatch of troops this time? The throne?" Yun Xiao asked back.

"Because of you! It's all because of you!" Yun Xiao's words somehow stimulated the second prince, who stared at Yun Xiao violently!

"what!"

The eldest grandson Wuchen, who had been paying attention to the second prince, mercilessly hit him on the leg with a scabbard, which was much heavier than the lieutenant general's. Yun Xiao felt as if he heard a slight "click".

"It's a marriage." The leader replied, "Daqin's prosperity is only a matter of time. The king of Guangxia understands this and plans to send Princess Yinxue to Daqin for marriage."

"So you started a war because the princess didn't come to get married. To express your own dissatisfaction? Or do you want to prove that Guangxia is not inferior to Daqin?" Yun Xiao frowned.

"Confused!" Yun Xiao scolded angrily, "You don't want her to go to Daqin with your relatives, and I don't want her to come. Besides, you are dissatisfied with your king's arrangement, so you provoked a war with Daqin. What kind of logic is that!"

Yun Xiao looked at the second prince and cursed in his heart, did the ancients lose their minds?You fucking dissatisfied with rebelling against yourself and becoming king, you fight a battle of hammers!

……and many more.

The second prince has such a temperament that he will not consider so many twists and turns. According to his brain circuit, it is better to believe that he will usurp the throne and express himself. It is not like his style. Who gave him this idea?

"Report!" The sentinel said again.

"Come in!" Yun Xiao shouted to the outside.

"Your Majesty, a woman in red appeared on the city wall of Guangxia," said the sentinel.

"It's Axue!" The second prince shouted first.

Yun Xiao got up, "Go and have a look."

"Woo!" Yun Xiao stopped the horse a hundred meters away from the Guangxia Royal Court. The horse was already a little restless. Animals are sensitive, and they are even more sensitive to this kind of irritating gas.

Yun Xiao smelled the smell in the air, her brows twisted into the word Chuan.

After the group got off the horse, Yun Xiao said, "Stand back, don't inhale too much gas here."

That's what he said, but Yun Xiao didn't take a step back.

"Cough." Chen Gui choked on the smell and coughed a few times.

"Put it on." Yun Xiao handed the white silk handkerchief in her arms to Chen Wei, which was given to her by Xiao Chuo before leaving the palace.

"Axue! Axue! Axue, I'm here!" The second prince's eyes flickered with fanaticism, and he walked towards the Guangxia royal court step by step with his lame legs.

"This..." the lieutenant extended his hand.

Changsun Wuchen blocked the deputy general's hand and shook his head.

The woman in red was still dancing an unknown dance on the city wall, but she stepped on something and fell to the ground.

"Daixue!" The second prince who had been paying attention to the situation above shouted nervously.

Yun Xiao looked at the second prince in disbelief, what did he shout just now?Daisy?

Daisy...

If she remembers correctly, sister-in-law's name is... Daishu?

It can't be such a coincidence, can it?

"Don't come over!" The woman in red who fell down shouted loudly.

Hearing this, the second prince obediently stood still and stopped at the same spot, but the enthusiasm in his eyes did not diminish at all, "Axue, do you mind? Did you hurt from the fall?"

The woman in red struggled to get up, ignored the second prince below, but met Yun Xiao's eyes at a glance.

"Emperor Qin..." The woman's tone was six parts mild, three parts charming, and one part angry.

Yun Xiao raised her head and looked at her, looking at the face with familiar features but completely different expression, she was filled with emotion. Although sister-in-law has a good manners and conversation, she is proficient in all kinds of farming and housework, so she really didn't expect her background To be so noble, to be the princess of Guangxia, and...

Yun Xiao looked up at the enchanting Dai Xue on the city wall.

She murmured, "...I never thought that the mild-tempered sister-in-law would have such a contrasting younger sister."
