The heroine who wears a book is always teasing me

For a moment, she didn't know whether she was worried because she was still outside alone, or because she was shy because of Zhou Xia's words, Xu Nuan didn't know what to say.

Zhou Xia sat on one side drinking tea, waited for a long time, and then asked hesitantly: "Princess, I still want to hear about the refugees."

"Listen, of course you have to listen."

If the foreign aggression is not resolved in time, I am afraid that Hua Mo will be waiting for the royal family to kill each other and reap the benefits of the fisherman.

"The person called the young master is actually the prince of the destroyed old kingdom." Zhou Xia said in shock.

In order to cooperate, Xu Nuan showed a panicked expression, and said calmly: "In this case, why not send troops to suppress him before he rebelled."

"There are no more soldiers in the capital." Zhou Xia sighed and shook his head, "There are six thousand elite soldiers in the imperial palace, and about three thousand soldiers in each gate of the capital city, plus the total number of soldiers in each yamen is only 1."

Zhou Xia put down the teacup in his hand and said, "But there are nearly 4 refugees. Excluding ordinary refugees, this group of people who intend to rebel is estimated to have [-] to [-] horses. This is too difficult."

Hearing what Zhou Xia said, Xu Nuan also understood the difficulties. Let alone more than half of the troops, how to gather all the officers and soldiers in the capital in advance is a troublesome matter.

Besides, more than half of them are refugees. Once the war starts, if there is a slight mistake, the refugees will be instigated into turmoil, and will actually help the enemy attack the capital.

By that time, it will not only be a simple 4 to 10 horses, but it is very likely to evolve into [-] horses.

Xu Nuan looked at Zhou Xia carefully and said, "I have about [-] soldiers in my hand."

"Ten thousand? Isn't it two thousand?" Zhou Xia looked at Xu Nuan puzzled.

Previously, the matter of the army was left to Zhou Xia, so Xu Nuan only said to recruit some people to help escort the goods.

But after handing it over to Yin Ruoyue to take care of it, Xu Nuan didn't think too much about it. He recruited a large number of people and only said to the outside world that he was opening an escort agency.

However, Xu Nuan didn't expect that the troops he managed to gather were not even half of the enemy's army.

"I am planning to open an escort agency in order to develop my business. Naturally, I need to prepare more troops."

I can't say that I know the plot, and I'm afraid Zhou Xia may not believe it, so Xu Nuan can only make random reasons right now.

Fortunately, Zhou Xia was more convincing than Yin Ruoyue, so she didn't doubt it.

"Where are the princesses and horses now?" Zhou Xia asked.

"Most of them are not far outside the capital, and there are only more than 1000 in the capital."

Xu Nuan replied, and suddenly remembered that Zhou Xia must also have soldiers in his hands, so he asked:

"You are a general, why don't you have soldiers and horses in your hand?"

"That year Southwest sent an army of [-] to fight against the enemy, and now there are only [-] to [-] left, most of them are guarding the border, and the remaining less than [-] are scattered and stationed in the territories outside the capital. Without my father's order, I will not come to quell the chaos. "

Zhou Xia said helplessly.

Xu Nuan was very puzzled and said: "The soldiers are all around the gate of the capital, doesn't your father know?"

Zhou Xia nodded in embarrassment and replied: "Father knows, but the matter of guarding the capital is now in charge of the five sage kings, and the humble officials can't get in the way at all. What's more, father doesn't want to get involved in factional disputes. The five sage kings have been in contact with the prime minister Yin Zheng. Secret, naturally you won’t trust it.”

Hearing this, Xu Nuan was heartbroken. This group of ministers is actually planning to fight for power and profit at this time, each shirking responsibility and suppressing each other.

As for Zhou Yuan, he probably knew that this time was unusual, so he was planning how to eradicate dissidents.

Xu Nuan, who was stuffy in his stomach, took a big mouthful of tea, took a deep breath and said, "In this case, we can only rely on ourselves."

Zhou Xia nodded in response: "If the princess has someone outside, if the inside cooperates with the outside, the chances of winning still count."

"Besides, it's not at that point right now. Some of the refugees are still being appeased. Right now, it's best to wait for the order from the court. Princes from all over the world will always come to escort them when they are ordered."

Xu Nuan didn't know how to tell Zhou Xia that the court situation might be about to change, when those princes came here not to escort, maybe they came to usurp the throne.

"Be careful, I'll tell Yin Ruoyue about this matter, let's see how Yin Ruoyue handles it."

Xu Nuan got up and went into the hall, followed by Zhou Xia, still not used to it, she waited a while before going inside, and walked towards the desk.

[The court is afraid of changes, and the refugees are in trouble. People in the capital are in panic. Do you have a good plan? 】

I wanted to write in more detail, but the palace is not safe right now, if I reveal the fact that I have 1 people, I am afraid that I don't know how many people will worry about my head.

Anyway, Yin Ruoyue knew that she was recruiting troops, and the main purpose of this letter was to let her know that the court was about to change.

Seeing the pigeons fly out, Xu Nuan also breathed a sigh of relief, looked sideways at Zhou Xia and said, "Yin Ruoyue and her father are just trying to get angry, if the prime minister can cooperate with opening the warehouse to release the food, then the refugee's affairs will be much easier."

Without the refugees as the vanguard, even if Hua Mo wanted to rebel, he shouldn't be in such a hurry.

After Zhou Xia left, the sun outside also weakened. Xu Nuan was afraid of the cold, so he stopped going outside to bask in the sun.

I thought that if Yin Ruoyue heard the news, she would at least reply to the letter, but she didn't want that pigeon to never come back.

In the middle of March, the peach blossoms are all over the capital, but the refugee problem is still delayed by the ministers. I heard that there is a strange disease in the capital these days, and the big families are afraid to go out. The peach blossom festival is the most lively in previous years. This year The most deserted.

When Xu Nuan heard the news, she didn't leave the palace easily, because the capital city was blocked by refugees, and business could not be done, so there was not much silver in the shops in the capital city.

The money donated to porridge was spent like running water, and instead of fewer refugees, more and more refugees gathered.

The prevalent disease in the capital makes everyone feel insecure, but the refugees outside are not infected at all, just a distance away from the city wall. It is difficult for Xu Nuan not to doubt it.

But right now the 1000 people in the capital have nothing to do because of the bleak business, but the monthly payment is also settled as usual.

Famines and riots broke out everywhere in the Muguo, and business gradually became difficult. The money deposited in various places could not be turned over, and the roads were impassable. Even if there was money, it could not be transported to the capital.

Xu Nuan was also very worried at the moment, the minister refused, and the emperor and queen mother were bewitched by the national teacher to ignore the government affairs.

Zhou Xia is a military general, how could he have talked about those eloquent civil servants in court?

Sure enough, three days later, the emperor became seriously ill, and issued an edict ordering the princes and princes to return to Beijing overnight.

Xu Nuan was woken up in the middle of the night and waited in the emperor's bedroom. The queen mother and prince stood at the front, guarding beside the emperor. went

The emperor only recruited a few ministers and the crown prince and queen mother, and the rest waited in the retreat hall.

One night at dawn, Xu Nuan did not wait for the edict to be issued, but saw the soldiers guarding the palace urgently report:

"Five Sage Kings and one party are leading troops into the palace!"

Is this a rebellion?

Before everyone could react, the soldier was shot by the rocket, Xu Nuan turned around and saw dense crowds of people rushing towards this side from the palace road extending in all directions.

In an instant, everyone was surrounded by a group of soldiers. Xu Nuan was standing at the very side, not easy to be noticed. Unexpectedly, Concubine Ling grabbed Xu Nuan and said with a smile, "Where is Yu Nuan going?"

"You let go!"

It was rare for Xu Nuan to react so quickly, and all the concubines and wives showed fear, why was only Concubine Ling so calm and composed.

Because she is the only one who knows.

Concubine Ling let go of her hand, and the maid beside her suppressed Xu Nuan's hands.

"As agreed earlier, Princess Yulu will be handled by this palace."

The five virtuous king in armor didn't say anything, but Xu Jin walked over angrily and said, "No, this little bastard, I was laughed at by everyone in the capital, I must kill her!"

Concubine Ling suddenly turned her head, holding a sword in her hand and resting it on Xu Jin's shoulder, she replied: "It's not up to you to decide whether to obey or not."

Xu Jin was so frightened that her legs softened for a moment, and she backed away, not daring to waste any more words.

Xu Nuan, who was being suppressed, was taken away by the maid accompanying Concubine Ling.

The palace passage was full of the sound of swords and swords, and the screams and helpless voices of the maids resounded in the palace passage. Xu Nuan looked at Concubine Ling, who was walking in front, and said:

"Right now, if the imperial palace is in chaos, the capital will also be in chaos. There are hundreds of thousands of refugees outside, have you thought about how to deal with it?"

Concubine Ling looked sideways at Xu Nuan, and said with a sneer, "You are really a good princess who cares about the country and the people, those are just refugees, it would not be a pity to kill them."

"You... crazy."

"Yes, when Yin Ruoyue cruelly sent me to the palace, I went crazy." Concubine Ling said suddenly losing her mind.

Xu Nuan was confused for a moment, why did Yin Ruoyue send her into the palace?

Why never heard Yin Ruoyue mention it?

When she was brought into Jiaxiu Palace, Xu Nuan finally came to her senses. Concubine Ling sat on the high platform, looked coldly at Xu Nuan who was being pressed and kneeling on the ground, and said contemptuously, "Have you figured it out?"

"not understand."

"Then it seems that Yin Ruoyue didn't take you seriously, at least she never told the person next to her pillow that what she wants is not only power, but the throne."

Xu Nuan looked at Concubine Ling in disbelief and asked, "So she sent you into the palace to install an internal response?"

Concubine Ling smiled lightly and didn't answer, she raised her hand to touch the delicate armor set on her little fingernails, her appearance was the same as before, but Xu Nuan looked so unfamiliar that she was so scared.

"That's right, in the assassination back then, Yin Ruoyue wanted me to have a chance to mix with the emperor, and didn't want the people she sent to mix with the other group, that's why there was the assassination of the prince."

"I saw how she cared and protected you back then, and I hated her, hated her ruthlessness, and hated you too." Concubine Ling Gui said expressionlessly.

Seeing it, Xu Nuan felt even more creepy, and thought, is it possible that I am really going to die here today?

It's just that Xu Nuan never thought that she was actually killed by a love rival.

This is really unfair.

Concubine Ling got up and approached, bent down and said, "I heard that your life is hard, so I want to see you die with my own eyes."

"I really want to see how touching Yin Ruoyue's expression is when she sees your dead body hanging in front of the gate of the capital."

How could Yin Ruoyue return to Beijing?

Unless Imperial Concubine Ling has another trick to use herself to torture Yin Ruoyue.

Xu Nuan calmed down, and turned her head to answer: "You must be crazy, I will marry General Zhou next month, what does it have to do with Yin Ruoyue?"

"There are rumors all over the city, you and Yin Ruoyue have been separated for two years, don't tell me that she never touched you."

Concubine Ling looked at Xu Nuan and asked.

"No."

Concubine Ling laughed suddenly, stood up, looked down at Xu Nuan and said, "I have changed my mind."

"Killing you like this is not enough to relieve the hatred in my heart, it is better to let someone torture you, so that Yin Ruoyue may love you more."

Just as Xu Nuan was about to speak, a pill was forced into his lips suddenly, and he could not resist at all.

Concubine Ling smiled lightly: "In an hour, will the princess kneel down and beg me? Or will the group of guards outside be satisfied?"

"I can't wait to see how flirtatious it is even for a royal princess."
