Divine Doctor's Daughter: Black-bellied Crown Princess

Chapter 455 The Emperor's Mind

"How's it going?!"

Soon someone on the wall of Yulan Pass reported the situation.

"The situation is not very good. There are a large number of troops rushing towards us. General, the situation is not good now."

Someone roared.

The guard was also very surprised.

At this time, although the Xiongnu said that they still had combat power, those combat power were not enough in front of them, but the current situation was that a large number of people came over!

Why is that?
Mo Qing also thumped in his heart. He has always been the most concerned about these things, not because he is just curious about these things, but because if Chen Lingcheng is here, he must first pay attention to these things.

Having been by the Eighth Prince's side for so long, Mo Qing knew that no matter what happened, the Eighth Prince would always put their country first.

Probably because of this, Chen Lingcheng felt so uncomfortable when he knew that he was ambushed and assassinated by his brother.

"Go to stop the defense first, and first see who is coming."

The Xiongnu may have made alliances with other people without their knowledge, which is quite normal.

After all, everyone is an adult. If the Xiongnu realized that they were obviously unable to fight in the end, they found helpers behind their backs. The original purpose was to let them escape smoothly, but it turned out that these reinforcements were still a step late. Thinking about it this way, I actually feel that everything is understandable.

It can only be said that the Huns were really out of luck, and it was impossible to defeat them directly.

"Yes……"

……

The fact that the Xiongnu ignited the flames of war again was quickly known by the people in the capital.

In the imperial palace of the capital, the emperor looked at the letter he had received, with an uncomplicated and deep expression on his face, and even faintly excited.

"finally come."

The first smile in days appeared on the emperor's face.

When the eunuch came over, he didn't dare to look at the emperor, but just took the letter from the emperor and threw it into a brazier beside him and burned it.

"Go, give orders, let people fight against the barbarians, and also order everyone in the capital, the treasury is empty, and now the frontier is fighting, and it's time for them to show their performance."

The eunuch was shocked when he heard the words, but he didn't show it on his face, nodded and said: "Yes."

After responding, the eunuch thought for a while and asked, "Will the emperor go to court tomorrow?"

The emperor snorted softly: "Why do you want to go to court? I don't think these people have the heart to do this, so let them stay at home."

The meaning of the emperor is to continue to pretend to be sick.

The eunuch responded, turned around and went out to tell the emperor's order, and asked all the eunuchs to deliver it to the mansions of the adults.

When the fifth prince found out about this, he didn't say anything, and silently donated all his property.

But what shocked everyone was that even the fifth prince's family property was only a very small amount of 500 taels of gold.

Everyone else felt lucky while laughing at the Fifth Prince.

Because they came according to the number of the fifth prince, if the fifth prince donated too much, then they would not be able to take it out.

Of course, it would be a bit of an exaggeration to say that they really couldn't take it out, but if they were really asked to take out so much, they would not be reconciled.

"Our current situation is not suitable for giving too much." In front of the eunuch, the person serving the second prince said with a smile.

Stretching out his hand, he handed the eunuch a heavy purse, and said softly: "The second prince is now under house arrest, and has been fined with a salary. In fact, the second prince's mansion is also living a miserable life. It is our prince's sincerity that we can take out these things now. "

The eunuch accepted the purse, nodded, and left with a clear face.

When all the people counted the numbers and brought them to the palace, the eunuch went to the emperor and told the emperor everything he had heard and seen in the second prince's mansion.

"In order to respond to the emperor's call, the second prince directly donated all his wealth. If you say that the second prince is really pitiful, the fifth prince has 500 taels of gold anyway, but the second prince has been sending things to the frontier all these days. , some valuable things have already been given away."

The eunuch said here a little modestly: "Actually, the second prince knows his mistake now, but I don't know whether the emperor is willing to forgive the second prince. The slave looks at it, and the second prince is much thinner now."

After all, they are all the sons of the emperor. What the eunuch thought was that the emperor could not really treat himself as having this son at all. Now that he said so, the emperor had a logical excuse to release the second prince directly.

As expected, the emperor was a little shocked and complicated when he heard the words.

"I didn't expect him to be such a straightforward person, so be it."

The emperor sighed and said: "The second prince can come and go freely, but as I said before, no one is allowed to leave the capital without permission."

It is said that it is to prevent people from going to the frontier to make trouble, but in fact, everyone can see that the emperor did this to prevent someone from quietly tampering with the affairs of the frontier.

Everyone's jealousy towards Chen Lingcheng has reached a point where it cannot be increased.

Why?

They are also the emperor's sons, but they have nothing, and they have to fight for everything they want since they were young, but the old eight doesn't have to do anything, the emperor will send everything to him at hand.

Everyone knew it in their hearts. From this point of view, it was obvious that the emperor was going to pass the throne to the Eighth Prince.

If the Eighth Prince had defeated the Xiongnu this time and came back, it would probably be the day when he would be crowned prince.

Everyone seems to be fine on the surface, but in fact, they have already started to operate behind the scenes.

Fighting for that seat can never be taken lightly, they are confident enough that they can succeed, but at times like this, they must hold their breath.

"Your royal father is really eccentric."

The man in black said with a smile: "They are both sons, why are you always so kind to the eighth prince? Could it be because of the eighth prince's mother and concubine?"

Chu Lingmo thought of that woman, with a nostalgic smile on his face: "Concubine Ru is indeed a rare and strange woman in the world. She was hurt by her father at the beginning, and she closed the palace door so resolutely, and said that in this life I will never see my father again, and everyone thought that she would be rejected by her father if she did so, but they didn't expect that not only was she not rejected, but she was even more favored."

"From that time on, my royal father never looked at other concubines again."
