Chapter 271 Huo Qingyu Missing

Just the day before New Year's Eve, news finally came from the front.

Concubine Xi lost her son, and the emperor and empress did not hold a large New Year's Eve palace banquet, but just gave food to the ministers, and the concubines of high rank in the palace sat together to eat the New Year's Eve dinner.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, urgent report from eight hundred miles away!" The eunuch on duty outside the door rushed in with a battle report in his hand.

Chu Yanyu was startled, and quickly put down her chopsticks to stare at the emperor.

Zheng Hai took the battle report and opened it, kneeling on the ground with his feet limp.

The concubines were so frightened that they all knelt down.

Chu Yanyu suddenly stood up, "What's wrong?"

Empress Sun calmly took Zheng Hai and turned it over to read the battle report, her complexion changed drastically, and she whispered a few words in the emperor's ear.

"Ah?" The emperor hurriedly took it, stood up, and ordered while walking, "Zhenghai, let the prime ministers enter the court."

The concubines who were left behind by the emperor were terrified.

Empress Sun couldn't eat anymore, "Let the imperial dining room make a new copy for the masters and send it to the palace to eat."

She looked at Chu Yanyu.

Chu Yanyu had already rushed over to support Empress Sun's hand, and asked in a low voice as she walked, "Queen Mother, what's the matter? Tell Xiyu quickly, I'm so anxious."

Empress Sun lowered her voice, "Unfortunately, your third brother and Su Jiaojiao fell off the cliff, and their whereabouts are unknown."

Chu Yanyu froze.

off the cliff?

Brother Sanhuang didn't fall off the cliff when he came back from the northwest, but actually went to the south and fell off the cliff instead?
Moreover, Su Jiaojiao and Huo Yingluo...

"Where's Yingluo?"

"After Huo Yingluo sent Su Jiaojiao, he stayed to help Huo Qingyu."

Chu Yanyu was burning with anxiety, "Hurry up and send someone to look for it."

"Your father will arrange it. Be safe and don't be impatient." Empress Sun pulled her, "Let's go to Jingxiang Palace."

The imperial dining room quickly re-made the favorite dishes of the queen and princess and delivered them.

But Chu Yanyu couldn't eat anything.

"Yu'er, don't leave the palace during this time." Empress Sun said in a deep voice.

"Does the queen mother also feel that the capital is not safe?" Chu Yanyu leaned over.

Empress Sun nodded, "There are not many troops in the capital, and it will be very dangerous if someone takes advantage of the loophole."

Chu Yanyu frowned, "I think it's strange, it turns out that most of the troops in the capital have been transferred out."

"Anyway, it's good that you don't leave the palace."

The emperor urgently summoned the ministers to discuss countermeasures, and Su Jiaojiao's father asked Ying to go to find the third prince, Su Jiaojiao and the others.

Liu Hanwen and Xuan Yujin asked Sun Yu to serve as the deputy commander of the Habayashi Guard, responsible for the safety of the palace.

The emperor had no choice but to agree.

In less than three days, bad news came from the south again, and Huo Qingyu disappeared.

Chu Yanyu almost jumped up, grabbed Xuan Yujin who came to report, "Missing? How did he disappear?"

"Princess, don't worry, Mrs. Su is coming soon, and I will definitely find a way to find them."

"How is it possible? Huo Qingyu is the invincible god of war. The Northwest is so difficult to fight, and it only took him less than a year to win a big victory. Little Nanzhao can defeat them all?"

"The important thing is that the Nanzhao army has already attacked." Xuan Yujin's hands trembled slightly, but she was afraid of frightening Chu Yanyu, so she tried her best to restrain herself.

"How is it in the city? The news won't leak out, will it?"

"No, the emperor issued a password-blocking order."

"Let's go and find the queen mother."

When they arrived at Jingxiang Palace, Chu Yanyu actually met Mrs. Huo.

Chu Yanyu stared blankly at the white-haired but radiant old lady, as if she had passed away.

Mrs. Huo smiled and waved to her, "Princess Xiyu, I haven't seen you for a long time, why don't you come to Huo's mansion to chat with the old lady."

Before Chu Yanyu chased Huo Qingyu madly, she often found excuses to go to Huo's house to chat with Mrs. Huo.

After waking up in this world, she dared not go again.

Suddenly seeing her again, Chu Yanyu had mixed feelings.

Huo Qingyu was ruthless in her previous life, but Mrs. Huo really loved her, otherwise she wouldn't have stayed in the Huo family for several years.

Moreover, during the years in Huo's family, Mrs. Huo personally taught her marksmanship.When she and Huo Qingyu got into trouble, Mrs. Huo always blamed Huo Qingyu and favored her.

If you want to say why she didn't hate the Huo family after she came back, most of the reasons are Mrs. Huo.

"There are no rules." Queen Sun said with a straight face.

Chu Yanyu came back to her senses, hurried forward, and respectfully saluted Mrs. Huo, "Xiyu has seen Mrs. Huo."

"Get up quickly. The old lady misses the princess, but it's a pity that it's inconvenient to enter the palace. From now on, Princess Xiyu can go to Huo's house to find the old lady for tea at any time."

Chu Yanyu's eyes were red, "Yes. Xiyu must go."

Mrs. Huo took her hand and patted it affectionately, "Are you scared? Don't be afraid, there are no men like them in the capital and our female generals. Xiyu, don't worry."

Hearing Mrs. Huo's words, Chu Yanyu immediately felt at ease.

She nodded vigorously, "Yeah, Yu'er can help too."

Chu Yanyu was a little nervous and heavy at first, chatting with Mrs. Huo and the queen mother, and she became happy after chatting.

Seeing that it was time for dinner, Zheng Hai came running out of breath, "Empress Empress, it's not good, call in, call in!"

"What's coming in?" Queen Sun's eyes darkened.

"The Nanzhao army suddenly appeared and surrounded the capital, ready to attack the city." Zheng Hai was so anxious that he was about to cry.

"How many people?" Queen Sun stood up slowly.

"It was densely packed, and the four city gates were surrounded. The general who defended the city said that there were a total of 10 people."

Mrs. Huo also stood up, "Queen, let's go see the emperor."

Chu Yanyu was stunned.

what happened?Still under siege?

How did Nanzhao manage to push into the capital quietly?
10 people?
If Huo Qingyu and the others were here, it wouldn't be a problem at all.

What's more, there are soldiers outside the city and surrounding counties.

Now under siege, there are not enough troops in the capital, and other troops can't get out even if they are notified to dispatch other troops.

"I'll go too." Chu Yanyu hurriedly followed in the footsteps of Empress Sun and Mrs. Huo.
