I don't know how much time passed before Shen Chenbi fell asleep in Ye Xuanchen's arms again.

This time, I slept until dawn.

The barbarians were defeated and Ye Xuanchen was victorious. He was reorganizing his army and preparing to return to the court.

But Jun Chenmu had packed up early, came to Ye Xuanchen with a smile, and cupped his hands, "Uncle Huang, look at the barbarians being beaten like a turtle with their heads down now. I'm afraid they won't have the guts to invade me again in the future." In the land of Daxia, I have no use here, and my father is concerned about the war, so I will return to the capital first and report this matter to my father. Hello, let my father feel at ease earlier, right?"

After hearing his words, Shen Chenbi glanced at him lightly.

You are secretly complaining, are you afraid that if you go back too late, your lies will be exposed?

However, Shen Chenbi did not say these words.

Ye Xuanchen nodded and said calmly: "What His Highness the Crown Prince said is absolutely true. The Crown Prince will return to the capital first, and I will go back with the army."

Seeing that Ye Xuanchen had no suspicion and was relieved so quickly, Jun Chenmu breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and left in a hurry.

Looking at Jun Chenmu's leaving figure, a dark color flashed in Ye Xuanchen's eyes.

The day after Jun Chenmu left, Shen Chenbi and Ye Xuanchen also led their troops towards the capital.

Along the way, Ye Xuanchen deliberately walked slowly, as if counting the time.

A few days later, Jun Chenmu arrived in the capital.

The emperor had long received a letter from Jun Chenmu and was very happy to learn that Jun Chenmu had used a trick to catch a turtle in an urn and defeated the enemy.

On the morning of the next day, the emperor was full of praise for Jun Chen in front of all the ministers in the court.

Jun Chenmu responded with a smile, his face full of pride.

"This time the prince can lead my Daxia soldiers to defeat the barbarians, which really gives me face. I am very happy today. I have passed on my instructions to hold a big banquet tonight to celebrate the prince's success!" The emperor looked happy and waved his sleeves. , the decree was immediately made.

Upon hearing this, the ministers all echoed, "Congratulations to Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

After the morning court, many ministers came to fawn over him.

Jun Chenmu responded one by one, completely forgetting Ye Xuanchen and others.

In the evening, the ministers brought their families and entered the palace to celebrate Jun Chenmu's success.

Ye Xuanchen also led the army into the capital at this time.

When the master returns to the court, he must first return to the palace to resume his duties.

Originally, when the generals returned to the capital, they were already dissatisfied when they did not see the emperor and his ministers greeting him.

Ye Xuanchen took Shen Chenbi and the generals straight to the palace.

After entering the palace, I learned that the emperor was hosting a celebration banquet for Jun Chenmu.

The generals began to complain one after another, "The King of Chu is the one who is suffering. Why should we hold a celebration banquet for His Highness the Crown Prince?"

"Yes! His Highness the Crown Prince left early. Did he just want to take the credit from the prince?"

"Isn't it obvious that Your Majesty doesn't take our prince seriously?"

……

Shen Chenbi was also slightly worried, and couldn't help but clenched his fists.

But Ye Xuanchen, who was beside him, curled his lips, as if he had expected this scene today.At the celebration banquet, Jun Chenmu was bragging to the ministers about his heroic deeds on the battlefield.

The courtiers clapped their hands and applauded, which made Jun Chenmu's vanity swell.

"His Royal Highness is indeed very capable, but I wonder how His Highness came up with this plan?" A cold voice suddenly came over.

The originally lively scene suddenly cooled down.

All the courtiers looked at the source of the sound.

I saw that the King of Chu, who was rumored to have died in battle, came back alive, followed by a group of generals.

"I...I just thought of it by chance." Hearing this voice, Jun Chenmu's heart skipped a beat, and his voice became a little softer unconsciously.

Seeing this, the surrounding courtiers started talking.

"Let me tell you, how could the prince have such ability?"

"As long as King Chu is here, even if you are a cripple, you can still win."

"That's right. I think all these strategies must have been thought up by King Chu. King Chu has never had a defeat in so many years. Who doesn't know this?"

……

Whether the voice was loud or small, it was just enough for Jun Chenmu to hear it clearly.

The emperor's face also darkened visibly.

"I have come to see you, Your Majesty. Your Majesty faked his own death and deceived the enemy, led the barbarian army into the city, annihilated half of their troops, captured the barbarian general Gu Lang alive, and destroyed seven barbarian cities. He came here specifically to report back to the emperor!"

Gu Chao cupped his hands towards the emperor and said so.

As soon as these words came out, everyone understood a little bit more.

Jun Chenmu's face felt as if he had been slapped, and he felt a burning sensation.

"Okay, very good! I was still thinking whether it would be too early to host this celebration banquet for you today. Now I see it, it just so happens that you generals have been tired of traveling and traveling all the way. Please sit down quickly!" The emperor also understood at this time. He knew what had happened, but in front of the ministers, he still wanted to defend the prince, so he thought about changing the topic quickly.

But Ye Xuanchen stood there without moving, staring directly at the emperor, and sneered, "Does the emperor still remember what I said to the emperor before I left the city?"

Hearing what he said, the emperor's heart thumped, but he still put on a smile and pretended to be dumbfounded, "What did King Chu say? King Chu protects my country, and I will definitely bear in mind what he said. .”

"Keep it in mind? I am fighting outside, but my fiancée is wanted by the emperor. Shouldn't the emperor give me an explanation at this time?" Ye Xuanchen narrowed his eyes, exuding a trace of killing intent, and said nothing. Half temperature.

The emperor secretly clenched his hands under his sleeves, hiding the anger in his heart, and softly comforted him: "These are all misunderstandings. It was Xu Er who heard something happened to the King of Chu. He impulsively injured the prince and escaped from the capital. I I was worried about her safety, so I acted like this.”

"In that case, why don't you thank the emperor more? Your fiancée is not a prisoner, so why can't you leave the capital?" Ye Xuanchen pressed forward step by step.

Seeing his appearance, the emperor knew that if he didn't give him an explanation for the matter, he might not be able to deal with it.

It would be fine on normal days, but now that the King of Chu has returned from a great victory, it is the time when military success is at its peak, and it is not easy for him to offend the King of Chu.

Thinking of this, the emperor breathed a long sigh of relief, with a hint of apology on his face, "This matter is indeed my fault. It was my lack of thinking and impulsiveness. I am willing to give Xu Er thousands of taels of gold and thousands of brocades." , a hundred pieces of jewelry as compensation, what does King Chu want?"

Just ten thousand taels of gold is already a considerable reward, not to mention thousands of pieces of brocade and hundreds of pieces of jewelry.

This time the emperor was really bleeding profusely.

Shen Chenbi pursed her lips calmly, feeling very happy in her heart.
