Chapter 471 King Huai vomited blood again

Hearing the prince's sharp shout, the butler's expression changed slightly and he walked slowly into the study.

"Tell me, what's wrong?" Prince Huai took out another piece of rice paper and spread it out, preparing to rewrite.

The housekeeper tried his best to speak calmly: "Your Majesty, General Gan is back."

"Oh?" King Huai put down his ink pen. He was already willing to say that they had taken Yixian County. He said happily: "We have taken Yixian County so quickly. It is faster than I expected. Hurry and prepare." Banquet, I will celebrate their success tonight.”

When the housekeeper saw the happy look on the prince's face, his expression froze and he hesitated whether to say anything.

Prince Huai also noticed the change in the butler's expression and frowned: "What's wrong?"

The housekeeper hesitated for a while, but finally chose to speak out: "General Gan is back, but he is defeated. Generals Li Mingfan and Li Mingzhong have surrendered to the enemy. The news that came back some time ago is Chen Jun's conspiracy. Xiao and The 10,000-strong army led by General Gan to attack Yixian was almost wiped out. Only General Gan and more than a hundred people escaped. "

"what?!"

Hearing this, Prince Huai felt as if he was struck by lightning. He looked at the steward in disbelief. He staggered from behind the desk to the steward, then grabbed the steward's collar with both hands, lifted him up, and said: "Who did you say surrendered to the enemy?"

"Generals Li Mingfan and Li Mingzhong have surrendered to the enemy. General Gan said it himself."

"Pfft."

After confirming that he heard correctly, King Huai grabbed the butler's collar and took two steps back. Then his blood surged up and a mouthful of blood spurted out from his mouth. King Huai's eyes turned black. Fainted and fell to the ground.

After being betrayed by Xiao Yunxi and the Xiao family, there were not many people following Prince Huai.

And the three generals Li, Xiao, and Gan are the only few confidants he can trust.

The reason why he has not decided on the position of heir apparent is because he wants to take advantage of them.

Because once the crown prince's position is decided, the remaining two families will definitely not be willing to do their best to assist.

But he never expected that Li Mingfan and Li Mingzhong would surrender to the enemy.

This was like a stab in King Huai's heart, making it difficult for him to accept.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing that the prince vomited blood and fainted again, the housekeeper was frightened and quickly called the doctor.

……

In Mrs. Gan's back house.

Mrs. Gan is watering the flowers in the yard.

Since returning from Wuguan, King Huai has become more and more indifferent to her. Mrs. Gan understands that King Huai must think that she has been defiled by Chen Mo. Although she has defended herself, King Huai obviously does not believe it.

In order to pass the boring time, Mrs. Gan raised some flowers and plants to enjoy her hardships.

She wore a light yellow tulle on her upper body, revealing her graceful and clearly visible collarbones, and a white crepe skirt on her lower body. When she bent over to water the water, she outlined her plump buttocks in the shape of a hemisphere, showing off her mature beauty.

The weather was so hot that even though the flowers and plants were placed in pots under the eaves, Mrs. Gan still had some sweat on her forehead.

Mrs. Gan put down the kettle, gently rolled up her long sleeves, raised her hand and wiped her forehead with the back of her hand. A breeze blew, causing a few strands of hair in front of her forehead to flutter in the wind, adding a bit of pure beauty.

At this moment, the maid trotted in and said that General Gan was here and wanted to see you, Madam.

Mrs. Gan was stunned. The general Gan mentioned by the maid was her brother, but even if he was her brother, this was the backyard of the palace. After all, he was a man, so he had to be somewhat taboo. Therefore, when her brother came to see her for something, he always asked his sister-in-law to come over. , but this time he came by himself.

And brother, didn’t he go to attack Yixian County? Could it be that he has returned in triumph?

Mrs. Gan's face was filled with joy. After all, as long as her brother made more contributions, her son's hope of becoming the heir would be greater.

"Please come in quickly," Mrs. Gan said.

in the room.

"General Gan, drink tea." The maid poured a cup of tea for Gan Yao.

"Brother, have you returned in triumph?" Mrs. Gan asked impatiently.

Gan Yao glanced at the maid and remained silent.

Mrs. Gan understood and asked the maid to step back.

After the maid left, Gan Yao deliberately opened the door and took a look. Only after confirming that no one was eavesdropping, did he talk to Mrs. Gan.

But what he never expected was that after he made sure to close the door, the maid who had just left came back again, clapping her hands and feet and eavesdropping outside the house.

"Sister, no, something happened." Gan Yao said to Mrs. Gan with a panicked look on his face.

Mrs. Gan frowned: "What happened?"

Gan wanted to tell Mrs. Gan what happened in Yi County.

The reason why he did not go to see King Huai as soon as he came back, but came to see his sister, was mainly because he knew how important this battle was to King Huai.

Although he was not the main reason for this defeat, he was still to blame. So when he saw the palace steward, he poured dirty water on the Li family and the Xiao family. But even so, he was not at ease, so he planned to Ask Mrs. Gan to go to see King Huai together.

In this way, when King Huai gets angry, Mrs. Gan can block him or intercede for him.

"what?!"

After hearing what her brother said, Mrs. Gan was shocked: "Li Mingzhong and Li Mingfan rebelled, and even Xiao Yi was left behind?"

"Isn't that right? Chen Jun had already set up an ambush in the city. If Xiao Yi hadn't wanted to take the credit one step ahead of me, I would have been the one left inside this time." Just thinking about it, Gan Yao felt scared.

Then he thought that if he told King Huai the news, the latter would definitely vent his anger on him.

"Brother, that's not right. Didn't you tell me before that Yixian County is just a small town? It would be nice to have a middle-grade warrior in charge. Why would Li Mingfan and Li Mingfan rebel when they are doing well?" Mrs. Gan couldn't figure it out.

Gan Nao didn't understand this. Since he didn't enter the city this time, he didn't know that Wu Yanqing had gone to Huaizhou to take charge.

In his opinion, Li Mingfan and Li Mingzhong's rebellion was nothing more than being discovered in a surprise attack. However, with their strength, they should not be caught, so why did they rebel?

"I can't figure this out. Do you think the Li family had a secret affair with Chen Mo when we were in Wuguan? After all, Chu Juan was already Chen Mo's concubine." Gan Yao said softly.

After hearing this, Mrs. Gan felt a little guilty. When she was in Wuguan, she almost became a plaything.

However, Mrs. Gan did not dwell too much on this. Her eyes lit up and she said: "Now that Li Mingfan and Li Mingzhong have rebelled, and Xiao Yi's life and death are uncertain, then the position of the heir apparent is ours."

"My silly sister." Gan Yao's vision was not as short-sighted as Mrs. Gan's, and said: "The prince took advantage of Chen Mo's resistance to foreign enemies to raid Huaizhou, and he lost the hearts of the people. That's all, and now he is defeated.

Let's pray that Chen Mo will lose the battle between Chen Mo and Jin Xia. If Chen Mo wins, we will definitely bear his wrath. Maybe Fengzhou will not be able to keep it, and we will still wonder what the use of the position of the heir apparent is. "
