Empress, she is beautiful Lu Ziye

Chapter 579 There are still people following him

In officialdom, who wouldn’t say a few words of honor?

Even if you don't think so in your heart, you still have to be polite.

But even such polite remarks were maliciously spread and exploited by others at this critical moment.

Word of mouth spreads, and falsehoods become true.

The prince's behavior has become more and more unruly in recent years, and His Majesty's desire to suppress him has become increasingly apparent. It is not a good thing to be associated with the prince's palace.

Ma Jing is on His Majesty's side. He acts steadily and acts after making decisions. The prince has expressed his intention to win over him many times, but he has been declined politely.

Could it be that because he failed to win over him, he became resentful and resorted to such methods?
"What should we do..." Ma Jing twitched the corner of his mouth, emotions floating in his eyes, "We should do the things in front of us."

The holy will is unpredictable, and no one knows what the person on the dragon throne is thinking.

He glanced at Li Shize's face and warned, "Don't speculate on people you shouldn't speculate on. Misfortunes will come from your mouth."

Li Shize immediately calmed down and said, "Yes."

Ma Jing took the note back and crushed it quietly, "Go down and do your work."

Li Shi then left as he was told, and he was the only one left in the tent.

Although Ma Jing said this, he didn't seem to care, but he was unavoidably worried in his heart.

There was no one around, and he didn't need to hold it anymore. He frowned slightly, and his brows were full of dryness.

Li Shize's worries are not unreasonable.

He is now facing off against the people of Dazhou. He is in a passive situation. The temple is too far away and there are many obstacles in the way. It is easy for someone with ulterior motives to make a fuss about it.

I just hope nothing goes wrong in the last few days.

……

Dusk came in a moment, lamps were lit in the tent, and torches were lit outside the tent.

After a simple dinner, Xiao Rongxi sat in front of the lamp and read a book, while Nan Zhen stared at the handkerchief in trance.

Resting his chin on his arms, his eyelids moved slowly, almost falling asleep.

After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Rongxi finally put down the book as she listened to the gradually longer and evener breathing around her.

He reached out and hugged the person to the bed.

As soon as his hand touched Nan Zhen's back, she woke up. The familiar breath prevented her from opening her eyes. She followed Xiao Rongxi's posture and leaned into his arms, falling into his breath.

Xiao Rongxi smiled and put her down before turning off the lights, then returned to the bedside and wrapped her in his arms.

On winter nights, except for the faint popping sound of burning torches and the footsteps of patrolling soldiers, there was no other sound.

In this silence, there was a sudden commotion in the camp, disturbing the sleeping people.

Nan Zhen opened her eyes and regained consciousness after two seconds.

Seeing that Xiao Rongxi had already stood up, he also put on his clothes, "Your Majesty?"

Xiao Rongxi: "I heard from Zongbei that he caught a ghost. I'll go take a look. You can rest in the tent."

After saying that, he touched her head, pressed down a bunch of short hair that was sticking up, and left quickly.

Nan Zhen frowned, quickly arranged her clothes and opened the curtain.

The camp, which had been quiet just now, suddenly became lively. Soldiers came and went, and the sound of armor scraping could be heard.

Nan Zhen saw an acquaintance with sharp eyes, who was the guard who had been following Zong Bei, so she reached out and pulled him over, "Where are Your Majesty and General Zong?"

The guard replied, "In front, go this way."

Nan Zhen followed his footsteps and asked as he walked, "Who is the mole caught?"

The guard hesitated for two seconds and said, "It's Vice General Sun."

"really."

Nan Zhen narrowed her eyes, "How did you find out?"

"We found an unfinished letter in the crevice of his pillow, as well as sticky grass stained on his robe." The guard did not go into too much detail, but said, "His men also admitted it. You can find other doubts here. It will be clear after that.”

"Your Majesty and General Zong are preparing for the night trial, so this moment has passed." Nan Zhen nodded. Anyway, the camp was right in front, so she was not in a hurry to ask questions at this moment.

She strode forward, and out of the corner of her eye she caught a familiar figure, bypassing the patrolling soldiers in the dim light, and walking in the opposite direction to them.

Pause for a moment.

The guard followed her line of sight and found nothing strange, "Mother, what's wrong?"

"Where is he going?" Nan Zhen pointed.

The guard glanced at it and said suddenly, "You said Vice-General Wang, he is on inspection. This is the case every night. The situation is urgent today, and it is already a moment too late."

That's true.

The last time Nan Zhen met at night was only a little earlier than this time.

But she looked at Wang Chengmian's hurried back and looked at the camp full of people, and quickly made up her mind.

"You go first, I'll be back as soon as I can." Nan Zhen said to the guard and turned around immediately.

The guard was startled, "Empress?"

Nan Zhen moved quickly and within a moment, no one was visible.

The guard didn't think much and just let her go.

The empress is good at martial arts and there are guards everywhere in the camp, so there is no reason why anything would go wrong.

Wang Chengmian is responsible for the guard duty on that mountain. At this time every night, he will personally go on inspection to avoid any abnormal situation that cannot be dealt with in time.

He was fast on his feet and climbed up the slope quickly without resting along the way.

"How are things going today?"

"Go back to General, everything is normal."

Wang Chengmian's eyes were sharp and he looked carefully from the top to the end of the mountain before slowing down his movements slightly.

The snow has been trampled by the sun and has been crushed into the soil.

Fallen leaves and branches littered the ground, making a squeaking sound when stepped on.

When the guard saw that Wang Chengmian had not left after his inspection, he took the initiative and asked, "General, do you have any other orders?"

"Nothing," he said, "just stand in your class."

"Yes." After hearing this, the guard returned to his position consciously.

After Wang Chengmian stood there for a while, he walked slowly towards the end of the mountain.

There is a naturally formed boulder, covered with moss and pitted with obvious traces of erosion by wind and rain.

Wang Chengmian stepped forward, raised his hands to rest on the boulder, and looked into the distance through the faint moonlight.

The mountain forest was quiet, and occasionally snow fell, hitting the ground with a loud thud, and quickly disappearing.

After a moment, he said to the guards, "Cheer up and report any situation in time."

The guard straightened his body and said seriously, "Yes."

Wang Chengmian quickly went down the mountain and returned to the camp. Nan Zhen was hiding in the dark, staring at his steps calmly.

Is it possible that she really thinks too much?
The shadows of the trees diagonally ahead swayed lightly in the wind, following Wang Chengmian's figure all the way to the camp.

Someone else is following him.

When Nan Zhen set off from the camp and followed Wang Chengmian, she realized that someone else was watching him.

She didn't know who the other party was, but she expected it to be someone from Zongbei.

I remember that when we first arrived at Baixiong Pass, Zongbei reported to His Majesty that Wang Chengmian and Sun Yong were currently the most suspicious.

Sun Yong was arrested tonight, and Wang Chengmian left the camp to come here. It was normal for him to be stared at.

Perhaps, there was always someone around him.

Nan Zhen carefully thought about what happened in the past few days. She found nothing wrong and was ready to go back.

She neatly descended from the branches to the ground. Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly heard someone speaking behind her.
