The Beloved in the Palm

Chapter 251 He came back alive

Beijing.

Emperor Liang De was sitting at the table, staring at the several pieces of military information sent in front of him. After a long while, he sighed: "Hou Qiyun disappoints me so much."

The ministers stood at the foot of the steps and couldn't help but be shocked when they heard the sound: "Did the Mon army already pass through Yizhou? Breaking through the barrier set by His Majesty the King of Wei?"

Emperor Liang De said: "The king of Wei was defeated in the first battle, and his food and grass were flooded. Hou Qiyun was not stupid enough, so he made a decisive decision and wrote to the neighboring states and counties to raise food and grass..."

"General Hou shouldn't be like this..." The ministers were speechless.

How could he make such a big mistake?

But as soon as this thought occurred, they immediately thought of King Wei.

I'm afraid this one is holding me back.

"Even if you write a letter to ask for help from nearby states and counties, I'm afraid it will greatly delay the opportunity to fight..." The Minister of War frowned, and then said: "I just don't know if His Royal Highness King Xuan has extra reserves in the army."

Emperor Liang De said: "King Xuan has come to help."

When everyone heard these words, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief and felt that they had nothing to worry about without even thinking about it.

Emperor Liang De took their expressions into his eyes and said solemnly: "The King of Wei has been captured since this battle."

"What?" The faces of the ministers changed drastically, and their hearts became worried again.

The Liang Dynasty was the overlord of the Central Plains for many years.

When Emperor Liang De was still a prince, he was a tough master on the battlefield. Later he became emperor, but he also had successors. When King Xuan went on an expedition at a young age, he was even worse than the current emperor.

After so many years, the surrounding foreigners all shunned him when they heard his name.

It's a good thing now. After several years of being the hegemon, he suddenly lost his face!

"I heard that the Meng people are cruel in their methods, I'm afraid we need to rescue His Highness the King of Wei as soon as possible!"

"Yeah yeah."

"It's better to ask His Highness King Xuan to lead the three armies in battle..."

Emperor Liang De did not speak, but just stared at the words on the secret letter in front of him.

It reads: Princess Xuan is missing and is suspected of being abducted by the Mon people.

Next to the secret letter was an autographed letter from King Xuan.

He also wrote in the letter that the princess was missing.

Is this King Xuan testing me?

Emperor Liang De's eyes flickered.

"Your Majesty?" Seeing that he was lost in thought, the minister couldn't help but call out in a low voice.

Emperor Liang De was still not in a hurry to speak.

He thought that if he informed everyone that Princess Xuan was missing, some people would inevitably talk about her innocence...

Was King Xuan testing whether he still had any warmth in his heart?

Emperor Liang De also thought about whether King Xuan was suspicious of him because of the poisoning and was resentful of him.

If King Xuan didn't test him, he would worry about whether King Xuan was hiding secretly and had ulterior motives.

Now... I'm afraid it's just because he saw King Wei leading the army that he was dissatisfied.

Emperor Liang De finally lowered his gaze and sighed, "I also have this intention."

The ministers secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

But Emperor Liang Dedi followed the words and pressed his forehead, his expression became even heavier and sadder.

He leaned on the armrest and said: "How can I endure the fright of the Mon people and run all the way? When they arrived in Yizhou, Princess Xuan took up the responsibility of the princess again and tried her best to comfort the local people. Under the fatigue and fear, the child in her belly was still alive. It can be saved. Now King Xuan is in a state of sadness...I'm afraid..."

The ministers were secretly frightened, wondering what year it was this year?

None of the children in the wombs of Princess Xuan and Princess Wei could be saved!

At this time, the Minister of War took another step forward and said with a solemn expression: "In this case, King Xuan may be full of anger and wants to vent it..."

Instead of venting to the court, venting to the Xu family who should be dispatched and executed... it would be better to let the Mon soldiers take this knife!

Others also woke up and asked Emperor Liang De to appoint King Xuan as Marshal against Meng and temporarily take over the three armies.

Emperor Liang De had no choice but to say: "That will only make King Xuan tired."

The imperial edict was quickly drafted and sent to the front line.

The ministers all had their own thoughts and left with sad faces.

After everyone had dispersed, Emperor Liang De said calmly: "Concubine Wan is concerned about King Wei, so let her know that King Wei has been captured, so that she won't worry about it."

The palace man responded and went to deliver the message.

The rest of the people secretly thought, Concubine Wan, no, Concubine Wan is really out of favor now.

When she said this, didn't it make her even more worried?

Sure enough.

That night, Concubine Wan asked to see the emperor. However, the palace servant reminded her that she was still under grounding and was not allowed to move around without authorization.

Wan Bin squeezed out a wailing cry from her mouth, fell down in pain, and smashed her head.

Someone from the palace reported the situation on Concubine Wan's side to Emperor Liang De.

Emperor Liang De only said: "I understand."

I won’t say more.

The palace attendant who reported the incident retreated, but Emperor Liang De looked at a man dressed as a guard in front of him.

Emperor Liang De asked: "Xue Ning is also missing?"

"Your Majesty, yes."

Emperor Liang De's expression was gloomy and uncertain.

What does his son want to do?

Emperor Liang De did not suspect that he was also captured by the Mon people.

It's still possible for a fool like King Wei, but Xue Ning... When he stood in front of Emperor Liang De on the day of the palace examination, Emperor Liang De could tell at a glance that he was not a mediocre person.

He is thoughtful and somewhat cunning.

The King of Wei regarded him as an aide, and he was no different from the rat. He was just something that Xue Ning caught and played with.

"Your Majesty, do you want to search for his whereabouts?" the guard asked.

"No need."

"Tell me more, what is the situation on the battlefield now..." Emperor Liang De asked the guard.

"Prince Xuan captured the Meng clan's national teacher in one battle, and also captured Yao Minghui, a rebel of the Xingyuan army."

Emperor Liang De's face changed slightly: "Yao Minghui... I remember him. He is also a brave general."

He paused, and said mockingly: "Brother, there are not many people with some scheming and scheming under your command, Yao Minghui is one of them."

Emperor Liang De's face sank slightly: "Let's explore again."

The guard replied: "Yes."

Emperor Liang De murmured: "Don't let me down..." If Prince Xuan found something he shouldn't have found from Yao Minghui, the two of them would recognize each other from then on.

Then he had to do it.

Emperor Liang De casually closed the secret letter in front of him, and heard the eunuch beside him flattering: "Your Highness Prince Xuan is really powerful, I think he will be able to solve the Meng clan's crisis in a few days. His Highness Prince Wei will also be able to return intact."

"Yes, it is very powerful."

"Just like your majesty in the past." The eunuch said again.

Emperor Liang De did not change his expression, but he felt a sharp pain in his heart.

What a pity.

What a pity.

It was so pity that he even felt a little resentful in his heart.

…

Xue Qingyin slept for another whole day before she recovered.

When she woke up, she was on a shaking carriage.

She woke up with a start and sat up, thinking that she was back in the Meng tribe.

“Master.” The voice sounded in her ears.

She turned her head and saw Yun Duo and A Zhuo.

Well, it seemed that she was still in the Meng tribe.

Xue Qingyin rubbed her eyes, rolled up the curtain, and saw a tall figure riding on horseback at a glance.

… It was King Xuan.

Xue Qingyin exhaled and asked, “Are they marching?”

Yun Duo nodded.

Xue Qingyin wondered: "Leaving Zicheng now?"

Azhuo said awkwardly: "You, Liang Chao, are going to fight us."

Xue Qingyin suddenly realized.

Oh, this is to continue chasing the King of the Meng tribe.

It has to be King Xuan, who has to work hard to fight the Meng tribe after getting out of bed.

Oh, it's not called hard work.

Xue Qingyin pondered for a while, marching so fast... I don't know how much "personal hatred" is mixed in here.

While Xue Qingyin was daydreaming, King Xuan had received the report and immediately turned his horse to her side.

"Yinyin." He turned over and dismounted.

The others were not surprised to see this.

They had just received the imperial edict... The imperial edict said how the princess comforted the people and how she set an example for the royal daughter-in-law, but she was disturbed by the Meng tribe and how abominable it was.

This made everyone confused.

What?

The child is gone?

Thinking of the fact that the king of the Meng tribe had previously slandered the princess Xuan...

They were really furious.

Now how careful the king of Xuan is with the princess, that's all right!

Xue Qingyin also felt a faint sense of grief and anger in the army at this moment.

The soldiers tried their best to suppress the momentum.

But it seemed that it would rise to the sky in the next moment.

"Your Highness has won a series of victories, shouldn't they be happy?" Xue Qingyin asked in surprise.

King Xuan lifted his robe and boarded the carriage.

Yun Duo and A Zhuo hid in the corner like quails when they saw him.

They couldn't understand why such a fragile woman from the Liang Dynasty would marry such a terrible man?

Xue Qingyin saw this and said, "You go down, I'll call you later."

Yun Duo and A Zhuo immediately flew down the carriage as if they were escaping.

"So cowardly." King Xuan said, probably thinking it was not appropriate to keep two such maids around her.

Xue Qingyin shook her head and defended them, saying, "You haven't seen how fierce they were when they picked up stones to protect me and smashed the heads of Meng soldiers...."

King Xuan frowned slightly and said, "Killing people from the tribe?"

Obviously, such an act also displeased him.

Those who can kill their own people without mercy are naturally not trustworthy.

Xue Qingyin sighed and said, "Your Highness, you don't know... How can they be considered their people? They are slaves of the Meng tribe, of low status, and can be bullied by everyone."

King Xuan whispered, "Yinyin is kind-hearted."

Xue Qingyin twisted her buttocks: "Why are you praising me?"

King Xuan said seriously, "That's how it is. It's a statement, not a compliment."

You can say love words with a cold face!

Xue Qingyin thought.

King Xuan said, "Today, the imperial edict came. Your Majesty sympathized with my pain of losing my son and ordered me to lead the three armies to attack the Meng tribe and rescue the King of Wei."

It was considered to answer Xue Qingyin's question just now.

"Lost a son?" What son?

Xue Qingyin was stunned for a moment before she remembered, and then said happily, "I don't have to pretend? It's rare for the emperor to be a human being."

But after she finished speaking, her eyebrows drooped again: "I have been so tired these two days, and I haven't had time to tell you...The King of Wei...is dead."

When Xue Qingyin said the last two words, her memory was aroused again, and her lips turned pale.

The King Xuan was not surprised at all when he heard the voice. He said, "When I knew that He Songning took you and the King of Wei away at the same time, I guessed it."

Xue Qingyin bit her lip: "I was afraid that he would blame you..."

"So you killed him?" King Xuan asked.

Xue Qingyin looked at him: "You know this too?"

"There are a lot of bloodstains in that cave." King Xuan said.

Xue Qingyin was stunned for a moment, and murmured: "Then did you... worry that I was dead..."

King Xuan said in a deep voice: "I know you won't die."

Xue Qingyin couldn't explain the feeling in her heart.

Xue Qingyin didn't want the atmosphere to be so depressed, so she said, "Qinggui Army and Dou Ruyun and others..."

"Qinggui Army returned to the capital."

"Returned to the capital?" Xue Qingyin was very surprised, "How did they..."

"Yinyin said that they should live happily from now on."

"That's not what I meant. I didn't let them leave!" Xue Qingyin was a little anxious, "If they stayed with you, wouldn't it be better to help you? Besides, they are your father's old subordinates. With them, you can also vaguely see the figure of Prince Zhang from them..."

Xue Qingyin pouted: "Why do you listen to everything I say?"

King Xuan touched her head and said, "They can help me as well when they return to the capital."

Xue Qingyin calmed down a lot, thought about it seriously, and said, "That's right. Then Dou Ruyun..."

"They stay in Zicheng for the time being."

"Then I can stay in Zicheng too." Xue Qingyin said. This group of people needs someone to lead them.

King Xuan didn't respond.

Xue Qingyin looked at him and found that he narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was not very happy.

Xue Qingyin immediately realized: "Your Highness brought me along this time, are you afraid that I will run away with someone again?"

King Xuan: "...Yes." His tone was grim.

Xue Qingyin immediately became arrogant and pinched her waist: "Now you know you can't leave me alone, right?"

King Xuan: "...Yes."

He deserves to be so honest.

Xue Qingyin felt embarrassed.

Now that she thought about it, it seemed a little bit hateful that she patted her butt and walked away so fast.

Alas.

She should be nicer to him...

Xue Qingyin's mind turned, and she came up with a good idea.

She leaned close to his ear and said: "There is a big bearded man in the Meng tribe, who is particularly hateful. Beat him up."

She paused and said in a lighter tone: "Are those bells still there last time? When you come back, I will wear them for you to see."

King Xuan's eyes changed instantly.

His voice became a little hoarse, and he said: "Okay."

Xue Qingyin thought to herself how wonderful it was!

Reward him again.

I vented my anger again!

At this time, someone suddenly came to report: "Your Highness, General Hou wants to see you."

King Xuan lifted the curtain with one hand and asked coldly: "What's the matter?"

The man was about to say something, but saw someone struggling to squeeze in, saying anxiously: "Your Highness! Your Highness!"

Who else could it be if it wasn't Hou Qiyun.

In just a short period of time, Hou Qiyun had aged a lot.

He had never shaved his face, so his beard grew wildly. In addition, he looked haggard and looked a little pitiful.

And the anxious look on his face at this time seemed to be even stronger than that day when the food and grass were flooded.

King Xuan looked down at him coldly, not letting him come over.

Hou Qiyun couldn't hold it back any longer, and shouted loudly: "King of Wei... His Highness King of Wei... He's dead!"

King Xuan's mind changed, and he asked: "Where did you get the news?"

Hou Qiyun couldn't hold it back any longer, and choked up and said: "It was the assistant officer beside King Wei, the princess's elder brother... He escaped death and came back to report."

"What?" Xue Qingyin lost her composure for a moment.

King Xuan frowned and grasped Xue Qingyin's hand.

He was still as steady as a mountain, and said: "Bring someone to see me."
