The reborn woman returns

Chapter 89

Concubine Xue Gui came forward with the ginseng soup and gently placed it on the table, which still alarmed Emperor Yongtai who closed his eyes and meditated.Emperor Yongtai opened his eagle-like eyes, and when he saw the person clearly, his expression softened instantly. "How did you come?"

"Chen Eunuch came to report, the emperor didn't even use dinner today, how can he bear it." Concubine Xue lifted the lid of the soup pot and brought it to Emperor Yongtai, her lips pursed slightly. "The concubine ordered someone to stew some ginseng soup, the emperor should drink it while it's hot."

Emperor Yongtai looked at the ginseng soup in front of him, then at her serious look, and reluctantly took it. "I wanted to use it after reading these, but it was too late, and I gave up the idea of ​​eating."

"Although state affairs are important, the emperor still has to take care of his own body." Seeing Emperor Yongtai drinking and playing with ginseng soup, he handed over the silk in his hand. "If you can't finish reading the excerpt, just read it tomorrow."

"Others can be delayed, but the battle situation in this city can't be delayed at all!" Emperor Yongtai thought of today's victory, raised one of the papers with a smile, and said, "Your younger brother is promising. But in three years, you will be able to conquer the country." The six cities in my country have been taken back, which makes me look at it with admiration."

As the eldest sister, she was naturally filled with joy when she heard that her younger brother was promising, and she put on a faint smile. "Shaochen is loyal to the emperor, and he should devote himself to it."

"Today's morning, Duke Wei asked you to confer on his wife, and I have agreed." Emperor Yongtai said indifferently, but he was observing the people around him from the corner of his eye.It's not that he doesn't know why the Duke's wife died back then, but now the concubine is pregnant and is about to give birth.It is reasonable for the Duke of the State to ask for a seal, and it is inconvenient for him to refuse.

Concubine Xue Gui's eyes were slightly focused, but there was nothing unusual on her face, only the corners of her lips curled up, and she spoke slowly. "My mother has passed away for many years, and now it is right to have someone who knows the cold and hot to take care of the father." The emperor was just telling her, not asking for her opinion, so why should he make him unhappy.Having been in the palace for many years, she has already learned how to be happy and angry, and knows how to survive in the harem.

"Speaking of which, Shaochen is not too young now, and he should marry a wife." Emperor Yongtai sighed, and seemed to be a little emotional.Thinking of this matter, he suddenly laughed, "A few days ago, the Duke also asked me for grace to marry Shaochen and Princess Shuyi of King Yun."

"The emperor didn't agree?" Xue Guifei asked with a smile, her heart tightened slightly.Based on my understanding of my younger brother, if the emperor really granted this marriage, I'm afraid he would not accept it then.So many years of achievements in the border city are for the promise to the person in his heart, so how could he easily accept Princess Shuyi of King Yun.

Emperor Yongtai shook his head helplessly, and said with deep meaning: "Even if I want to fulfill my wish, he must be willing to return the court! Otherwise, with his temperament, if he comes back and looks dissatisfied, he will definitely lead troops to overthrow this palace of mine No."

Concubine Xue Gui was stunned when she heard the words, her back suddenly stiffened, and she knelt down straight. "The concubine is terrified." She still can't understand what the purpose of overthrowing the palace is. The emperor said so, which means he has murderous intentions for Shaochen.

Since ancient times, the most taboo of heroic officials is the master of high meritorious service, and now Shaochen holds the military power in his hands, and he will not return to the border town.

"I'm just joking with my concubine, don't be nervous." Emperor Yongtai smiled and helped her up, noticing her trembling body, a hint of distress flashed in his eyes, but it disappeared instantly. "Now Shaochen is fighting against the army of the Rong Kingdom. Success or failure depends on one stroke. Princess Shuyi is only sixteen years old, so it doesn't matter. The envoys from the Yuan Kingdom will arrive in Fengcheng in a few days. The Queen is always in good health. Good, I'm afraid Aifei will have to work harder."

Concubine Xue Gui stood up and put on a graceful smile: "This is the duty of a concubine, so I should do my best."

The bottom of my heart is secretly depressed, Princess Shuyi?Father actually planned to combine with King Yun with such a plan!It's just absurd, not to mention that Shaochen's heart is for others, he will never agree, even if the Xue family is in such a public situation in the court, how can the royal family tolerate the Xue family's involvement with King Yun who holds soldiers and horses.I'm afraid that when the emperor bestowed the marriage, it was the day of Shaochen's death, and my father was really confused.

Emperor Yongtai was afraid of the Xue family, and so was Qiong Huoyou, king of Rong Guolie.When he hurried back from Fengcheng, the imperial capital of the Qian Kingdom, back to the border of the Rong Kingdom, he thought that Murong Ye, a famous general in Shao County, would be as strong as gold if he took control of him.Who would have thought that the damned Mei Xiangguo would be so foolishly fooled by Xue Shaochen's provocation, poisoning Murong Ye to death, resulting in no generals to defend, making the Xue family's army so powerful that Shaojun was lost in an instant!

Once Shao County is broken, Fancheng will definitely not be safe. Fancheng is the gate of Rong Kingdom.Therefore, as soon as he came back, he immediately set up a heavy army and waited for Xue Shaochen to come to his door.Now that the Qian State army is stationed fifty miles outside the city, it seems that they are afraid of the strength of the troops in the city and dare not act rashly.

"Report—" A scout outside the tent entered the house and reported to Qiong Huoyou, who was well prepared. "Reporting to the lord, the direction of Yuchuan suddenly ignited a wolf smoke."

"What?!" Qiong Huoyou stood up from the tiger-skin chair, his burly body hurried up the city wall, his green eyes stared coldly at the wolf smoke in the direction of Yuchuan, "Xue Shaochen actually led troops to Yuchuan!"

How can it be? !Xue Shaochen went to attack the useless Yuchuan instead of attacking the gates of the Rong Kingdom.Could it be that my judgment was wrong?Xue Shaochen intends to slowly swallow the Rong Kingdom from the periphery, not just to take back the nine cities of the Qian Kingdom as rumored.
