The Queen was in a good mood and said to Aunt Zhao: "I know that the Crown Princess will definitely be summoned. I am afraid that Concubine Li will be in a worse mood."

Concubine Li was in a bad mood, but the queen's mood improved and she became a little friendly to Su Xinyi.

After hearing this, Aunt Zhao immediately said: "What the Imperial Concubine is saying is that the Imperial Concubine's natal family and the Crown Princess have some quarrels. Although the Imperial Concubine said she doesn't care, who would believe it?"

The Queen felt that this was very reasonable and sneered, "When the Crown Princess was selected, Concubine Li deliberately showed her favor to Su Xinyi. She didn't know what her intentions were. She was afraid that everything would fail, so she became angry from shame."

"Mother, what should we do next?" asked Aunt Zhao.

The queen was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then said: "If your majesty has no will, don't act rashly."

"Yes." Aunt Zhao bent down and responded.

Concubine Li Guifei in Zhaoyu Palace indeed looked worried. She looked at her son and said, "Maybe your idea is right."

When King Xiang heard this, there was no expression on his gentle face, and he said calmly: "My son has long said that my father has always been partial to the Crown Prince and Prince Rong."

"What are you going to do?" Concubine Li rubbed her forehead and asked tiredly, "You have to know that what you want to do is very dangerous. If you can't fully control it, I advise you to think twice. It's a thousand miles from the capital to Zhangping Prefecture. It’s so far away that we can’t take any chances.”

"Mother, my son has already made a plan in his heart, so you don't have to worry. I won't take risks. Even if things fail, others won't guess what happened to me."

"That's good." Concubine Li's eyes flickered, as if she had finally made up her mind, "If you have any difficulties, please tell me and she will solve it for you."

King Xiang thought that he really couldn't give the concubine he wanted, but he did not say it directly but said: "There is nothing for the concubine to do for the time being. You have to take care of yourself in the palace. If you don't If there are no other instructions, my son will leave first."

"Wait a minute." Li Guifei said, "How is Liang Ju's matter?"

Prince Xiang turned his head and smiled, "He has been dismissed from office, and other matters are also being investigated. If nothing goes wrong, being able to save his life is already the greatest benefit."

Concubine Li frowned, "Then who will take over Liang Ju's official position?"

Prince Xiang glanced at his mother and concubine, his eyes were bottomless, and his voice was tainted with a hint of coldness, "It depends on the father, mother and concubine, Liang Ju's official position, whether it is his son or uncle, it is best to Don't interfere."

Concubine Li met her son's slightly gloomy eyes, and her eldest brother had a cold war for no reason. When she came to her senses, he was already gone.

Concubine Li felt uncomfortable. She looked at Aunt Ren and said, "Tell me, has Prince Xiang encountered something recently? I always feel that he is not in a good mood."

When Aunt Ren heard this, she thought she didn't know what was going on. Anyway, after the prince accepted Aunt Fu, his temper became eccentric.

But she didn't dare to say these words, so she said gently: "Don't worry, your Majesty. I'm afraid that the prince feels aggrieved this time. The prince got an errand and went south. His Royal Highness also led the troops to go on an expedition. However, His Highness has nothing to do in the capital. It is inevitable that he will be in a bad mood." not good."

Concubine Li's expression turned grim when she heard Aunt Ren talking about this. Yes, His Majesty is partial. He always values ​​the prince and she doesn't say anything. But what about Prince Rong?

His Majesty clearly loves her more, but in the end he prefers the son born by the queen. Isn't her son bad?

It is obvious that the Prince Xiang she gave birth to is more well-behaved, sensible, gentle and elegant, and is better at studying and practicing martial arts than Prince Rong, but your Majesty just can't see that, not to mention that her son is wronged, she feels wronged for her son.

But what's the use?

She didn't dare to complain a word when His Majesty did this, and she couldn't even say a word of grievance.

She wanted to see what earth-shattering errands King Rong could accomplish when he went south this time, based on his uneducated appearance.

After Su Xinyi returned to the East Palace, she immediately entered the side hall and took out all of her father's letters and compared them one by one. Only after she was sure that she was right did she breathe a sigh of relief.

It was indeed a bit risky to be in front of His Majesty today, but she had to shoot when the arrow was on the string. She really didn't expect that the prince would show the information to His Majesty, which caught her off guard.

However, this is good, at least it will let His Majesty know that I have the intention to follow His Highness. If I want to request to join the army in the future, I think His Majesty will be prepared.

Su Xinyi took a deep breath and followed the map to guess where His Highness the Crown Prince was going.

What Su Xinyi, or the entire court, did not expect was that the prince's army received a report from Zhangping Mansion before the prince's army arrived.

The Tatar Khan sent 10,000 cavalry to attack Zhangping Mansion. The commander Xu Chun was killed in the battle, the commander Chai Guangsan, the commander, and the Qian Shi Wang Zhi led the soldiers to fight back and were killed. Zhangping Mansion was defeated and two thousand Tatars were captured. The remaining people returned north.

In addition to the Zhangping Mansion, the Tatar Khan also sent other troops to attack the Yulin Guards. The Yulin Guards fought hard for three days and were able to save the city gate. More than 5,000 soldiers died in the battle. The people in the city came to the city to resist the enemy.

The whole court was shocked and the emperor was furious.

His Majesty immediately sent someone to deliver a message to the prince, and traveled all night to Zhangping Mansion. In addition, he also dispatched soldiers from Zhangping Mansion and Yulin Guard and surrounding guards to the two places for reinforcements.

This time the Tatar attack was so violent that the courtiers who had previously valued peace were at war with each other. Several people were dismissed from office and exiled by His Majesty, and the entire capital was instantly plunged into a haze.

East Palace.

Su Xinyi got the letter sent back by his cousin. The person who came back to deliver the letter was the son of the Su family. He was very trustworthy. Running all night made his face extremely pale and weak, and his body was shaky.

Su Xinyi quickly asked someone to take him down to eat something to catch his breath, and he took the opportunity to read his cousin's letter first.

Su Deng's letter was written very concisely, and the handwriting was a bit sloppy. There was a traitor in Zhangping Mansion!

Su Xinyi's expression suddenly changed. There was a traitor in Zhangping Mansion, but the prince didn't know about it at all. If he went straight into Zhangping Mansion without any precautions...

She immediately changed her clothes and went to the Zichen Palace to see His Majesty. She was cautious and cautious, but after knowing that the prince was likely to face great danger, she ignored everything.

"Crown Princess, Your Majesty is busy. I'm afraid I won't have time to summon you for a while." Hu Siyi didn't know why the Crown Princess came at this time, and he didn't dare to neglect and immediately spoke to dissuade her from returning to the East Palace first.

Su Xinyi looked at Hu Siyi with a very serious expression, "Mr. Hu, I just received the news from the caravan. It is extremely urgent. I would like to ask Mr. Hu to be accommodating and report back to Your Majesty."
