The Poisonous Wife: Cute Baby Comes to Rebirth with Me

Chapter 434 How to fight this battle?

If the emperor is determined to go to war, what if her life is lost?

Just as the sharp long knife was about to cut through Yun Xi's neck, a subtle explosion suddenly sounded in her ears, as if something mysterious was tearing through the air and shooting towards her. In an instant, a sharp pain came from her wrist, and her strength disappeared instantly. The long knife in her hand fell powerlessly and hit the ground with a clang. When it rebounded, the tip of the knife actually scratched the delicate upper of her shoe.

That long knife glowed with a cold light, as if it could cut iron as easily as mud.

The emperor stood there in astonishment, staring at Yun Xi with dull eyes. His original anger receded like a tide, and was replaced by confusion and confusion. It was really hard for him to imagine that such a seemingly weak woman could subdue three well-trained imperial soldiers in an instant.

What shocked him even more was that what Yun Xi said was not nonsense.

It turned out that the appointment of Liao Quangui was just a fleeting thought in the emperor's mind. He never mentioned it to anyone, not even to the noble grandmother. If the imperial grandmother hadn't come to the rescue, Yun Xi might have been killed long ago.

At this critical moment, why would she risk her life to come and remonstrate? An inexplicable emotion surged in the emperor's heart.

He waved the Imperial Guards to retreat and ordered the door to be closed. Yun Xi knelt down on the ground again, her body trembling slightly due to the high tension, and she was so weak that she could hardly support herself.

Yes, she is afraid of death. The tragic experience in her previous life left her full of fear of death. She was afraid that her life would once again be as light as a feather and disappear meaninglessly.

"Royal grandmother!" After a long time, the emperor turned around and looked at the empress dowager, who had always looked calm, with a tremor in his voice, "Do you think what she said is credible?"

The Queen Mother lowered her head and gently swept away the non-existent dust on her elbows. Her fingers were painted with bright red Danko, drawing elegant arcs on the silky satin. However, an imperceptible killing intent flashed in her eyes.

"If you believe her, what she just said will not happen. If you don't believe it..." The Empress Dowager slowly raised her head and looked at the emperor with burning eyes, "Everything she said will come true one by one."

The emperor was horrified: "Royal grandmother, you...you have known this for a long time?" "He is your cousin. The Ai family cannot say more. Everything depends on your decision, the emperor." In the words of the Queen Mother It reveals an inexplicable depth and complexity.

The Empress Dowager nodded slightly and began to speak in a distant tone: "Emperor, do you know the profound meaning of this?"

The emperor's eyes were suddenly full of doubts, as if shrouded in fog, but as time passed, his eyes gradually became firm and deep. He stared at Yun Xi, with a hint of probing in his voice: "Who revealed what you just said to you?"

When Yun Xi heard this, she felt panicked. How could she say so outright that she was a reborn person? This is simply a fantasy, and I’m afraid no one can believe it. She hesitated and couldn't explain why for a long time.

Seeing this, the Queen Mother gently waved her hand, indicating that the emperor did not need to ask further about the matter. She turned to say: "The matter in Lingnan is now urgent. Emperor, how do you plan to deal with it?"

The emperor pondered for a long time and finally said: "Royal grandmother, it's not that my grandson doesn't care about brotherhood. It's just that the King of Lingnan is very ambitious now, but he hasn't shown his flaws yet. If I send troops rashly, I'm afraid my troops will be unknown. What's more, the generals in the court are slack and the soldiers are tired. , There is insufficient food and grass, and it is really difficult to cope with it. "

Hearing this, the Empress Dowager slowly sat up straight and said solemnly: "If there is a war, life will inevitably be ruined. But now that the new king of Lingnan is still young, and the gunpowder depot has just been destroyed by Yi Han, it is the perfect time for us to send troops. It’s a good time. As long as a brave and capable general leads the army, he will be able to eradicate the Lingnan King’s ambition in one fell swoop.”

When the emperor heard this, he frowned and looked troubled: "But the emperor's grandmother and grandson have already discussed this matter with General Lin and Zhentianhou. They all think it is inappropriate to send troops at this time. If you want to dispatch troops, you still have to send troops." It needs to be discussed by the court and the cabinet in the morning. I am afraid that it will be opposed by everyone."

The Empress Dowager smiled faintly and said: "Emperor, do you know that although the military power seems to be concentrated in your hands, it is actually scattered everywhere. This is also a major drawback of the Daqing Dynasty. Although you can mobilize troops and horses to fight against foreign enemies, but Whenever it comes to cracking down on internal thieves, the cabinet must discuss it. This is a rule set by our ancestors to prevent the emperor from abusing his power and killing each other."

The emperor sighed and said: "What the emperor's grandmother said is absolutely true. Now the King of Lingnan is secretly causing trouble, but there is insufficient evidence. And the Marquis of Wu'an has just returned from the war, and the soldiers are exhausted. At this time, if there is a large-scale military increase, the cabinet will definitely oppose it."

The Empress Dowager nodded slightly and said: "The civil war does require cabinet deliberations. But once there are signs of mobilizing troops, the King of Lingnan will definitely get the news. Presumably there are his spies in the court, right? We have to be careful and not let him The conspiracy succeeded."
