Chapter 56

"Then... what if someone leads the army?" Yun Xiran straightened up from her seat, her eyelashes that were as long as butterfly wings blinked, and there was a sparkle in the clear and water-filled eyes underneath.

Xuanyuan Che remained composed, "That depends on who it is."

"How about an example?"

Xuanyuan Che put down the teacup, turned the handle of the teacup with a half-smile, and said casually: "If King Yun goes, the odds of winning will be reduced to [-]%, if the crown prince goes, the odds of winning will be reduced to [-]%, if other people go, the odds of winning will remain the same."

Yun Xiran was also interested, and leaned over to look at the teacup in his hand, "Why are you the only one with a handle?"

Xuanyuan Che sat calmly, allowing her to come over and look at him. "It should be said that this king picked the one with the handle as soon as he picked it."

Yun Xiran pursed her lips, and chatted with him about business again. "Then... what if you go?"

Xuanyuan Che's thin lips curled up, and his indifferent smile suddenly became charming and handsome. "you guess?"

She tilted her head, thought for a while, and said, "Nan Xia has an eighty percent chance of winning."

Xuanyuan Che clicked his tongue and lightly touched her head with the teacup, Yun Xiran let out an "ouch", and the smile on Xuanyuan Che's lips grew wider.

"wrong."

She blinked, and seeing him smiling happily, she couldn't help but feel a little upset, she also snatched the tea cup she was drinking from the table just now, and wanted to hit him on the head across the table.

Xuanyuan Che would not let her succeed, while hiding, he touched her head again while she was not paying attention.

Yun Xi was furious, and angrily leaned half her body over the table, but because she didn't have an advantage in height, she couldn't catch half of his body.

"If you go, the odds are zero!" Yun Xiran gritted his teeth.

Xuanyuan Che slightly raised his eyebrows, and said calmly, "It's zero."

Yun Xiran was taken aback for a moment, and the smile on Xuanyuan Che's lips widened, but his face was still calm and composed. "However, Beidi's odds of winning are zero."

He sat in an elegant and dignified posture, his eyes were half closed when he leaned over to drink tea, and when he occasionally raised his head, he could really see the arrogance and confidence behind those beautiful eyes, which were calm and silent.

Yun Xiran knew that what this person said was true.

Moreover, he also has this ability.

Yun Xiran pursed her lips, twisted the teacup in her hands, and hummed softly.

"Although the prince is blessed by nature, the emperor is already a little disappointed in him after so many things happened. From the last hunting festival, I found that the emperor pays more attention to actual combat. At least compared to the control of power, he thinks he has the ability to inherit the throne. The people who are here have to get out of the battlefield."

Xuanyuan Che pursed his lips, noncommittal.

"If you go, firstly, you can use this to gain prestige among the army, and secondly, you can gain prestige among the people, and it will also increase the emperor's favorability towards you. So many things have happened to the prince recently,"

Yun Xiran glanced at him lazily, "No matter how you look at it, you made money."

"Yes." Xuanyuan Che nodded, "So this time, it is imperative."

"This is a good deal, others will definitely want to snatch it." Yun Xiran folded her arms around her chest, squinting her eyes and looking at him coldly. "Because you hit me just now, so I don't wish you success."

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Che stopped playing with the teacup and couldn't help laughing.

"Whether you wish it or not, this king is determined to win."

The color of his lips seemed to be stained by the tea, which seemed to be covered with a layer of beautiful watery luster, and his thin lips opened and closed, talking leisurely.

The expression looked calm, but the words overflowing from those thin lips were so domineering and sharp.

In the early morning of the next day, Xuanyuan Han hadn't even stepped into the court hall when the quarrels inside had already penetrated through the flower windows of the carved dragon bedroom.

Xuanyuan Han frowned while listening, while Eunuch Xu watched from the side, holding his breath and didn't dare to speak more.

"Meet my emperor—"

"Greetings Father—"

"Long live Long live Long live--"

A group of people knelt down in the dark below, Xuanyuan Han went to the dragon chair and sat with his robe lifted, and said coldly: "What were you talking about just now?"

Sun Rumu, the commander of the imperial forest army, held a letter that was urgently sent from eight hundred miles away, and presented it respectfully.

"Please take a look at the emperor."

Eunuch Xu stepped forward to take it, and trotted to the emperor. "Your Majesty, look—"

The more Xuanyuan Han looked, the tighter his brows frowned.

After reading the notes at the end, Xuanyuan Han's face was as gloomy as an ink tray.

He snatched the letter and threw it viciously on the ground.

All the ministers and princes in the hall were silent like cicadas, and even the sound of breathing was carefully controlled, and the hall was instantly silent.

"Beicheng suffered heavy losses and countless casualties. General Zhen Guo was wounded in bed. Well, what a Beidi!"

Prime Minister Zuo looked around quietly, before he bowed out of the line, he said loudly: "Your Majesty, Beidi, a small country in a barren plateau, dares to repeatedly invade our great country of Nanxia, ​​which is really unbearable! Your Majesty, dispatch capable generals as soon as possible to avenge the soldiers who were massacred in Nanxia!"

Feng Shangshu of the Fourth Prince's faction also appeared, his tone was quite emotional. "Your Majesty, the fourth prince, His Royal Highness King Yu, has fought with the Great General since he was a child, and he is also a general with a record of achievements. Moreover, His Royal Highness King Yu is mature and stable, and is best able to take on this great task."

Xuanyuan Han's gaze was fixed on Xuanyuan Che, and a dark light flashed across the bottom of his eyes. "Fourth, is it true?"

Xuanyuan Che pursed his lips, and when he heard Xuanyuan Han calling him, he came out of the line without haste, and said calmly: "My son intends to clear up all obstacles for Nan Xia, and I hope my father will help me!"

Seeing this, Taifu Lin from the Prince's faction hurriedly came out and said: "I tell the emperor, I think that His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, is handsome and talented. He is the son of the empress, the lord of the main palace. His Royal Highness will go to the court." It is only appropriate to relieve the emperor's worries and problems, and eliminate foreign enemies."

"Oh?" Xuanyuan Han asked indifferently, his eagle-like eyes fixed on the prince.

Xuanyuan Yu was shocked all over, and then came out and knelt down on the ground, saying: "My son is willing to share the worries of the father!"

Those who supported the prince and King Yu were divided into two columns, and they started to quarrel in the court again.

Xuanyuan Han flicked his hand, and the whole hall fell silent again.

He sneered and said, "You guys really know how to share my worries! Two brats whose combined age is not as old as the general of Zhen Guo, let them fight for me and kill my enemies!"

"The ministers are terrified—" the ministers knelt on the ground tremblingly and shouted in unison.

"Let's go, let's go." Xuanyuan Han got up, his expression was not good. "Retire!"

The eyes are not very dazzling in the autumn afternoon, and it is a great pleasure to move a chaise longue, hold a soft blanket, and sleep lazily all afternoon.

Yun Xiran just lay in the small courtyard of Weiyang Palace, taking a lazily nap.

"Miss." Xiao Jiao walked in quickly from outside the hall, and said quickly, "Most of the ministers in the court today supported the prince and the prince, but the emperor lost his temper a lot, and in the end he didn't say who he sent. .”

Yun Xiran's eyes were not opened, but her eyebrows were furrowed.

"The war is tight, why would the emperor get angry with the courtiers at this time?"

Xiao Jiao shook his head, expressing that he didn't know.

"Where's your prince?"

Xiao Jiao said: "The lord will go back to Prince Yu's mansion after the court."

Yun Xiran thought for a while, and probably understood that Xuanyuan Che didn't want to push too hard, but instead had a counterproductive effect.Although it is safe to retreat to advance, it is inevitable that there will be no guarantee that there will be any demon moths on the Queen's side...

She has to figure it out.

She lowered her eyes to look at her slender fingers that were as smooth as green onions, her eyes fluttered with regret, and she murmured, "These hands don't seem to be able to withstand any hardships, and I don't know if they will succeed..."

He told Xiao Jiao what was going on in his mind, Xiao Jiao was also very surprised, his eyes circled around her hands, and finally returned to her face, full of disbelief.

Yun Xiran chuckled, it will make you even more incredible later!

Hall of Mental Cultivation.

When Xuanyuan Han returned to his bedroom, he sat in front of a pile of memorials and reviewed them. The glazed candle lights in the room were as bright as daylight, but after a long time, it would inevitably make people's eyes dry.

Xuanyuan Han rubbed the center of his brows, and rested with half-closed eyes.

"Squeak-"

Eunuch Xu pushed the door open and came in with a food box in his hand.

Xuanyuan Han was feeling bored and had no appetite at all, so he immediately waved his hand: "Take it away, I have no appetite."

Eunuch Xu knew that he would say this, so he was not in a hurry, smiled slowly, and said: "Your Majesty, this is a newly researched dish in the imperial dining room. This slave has lived for decades, and this is the first time I have seen it like this in my life. Yes, don't you...don't take a look?"

Xuanyuan Han looked up at the food box in his hand, "Oh? Is it really so rare?"

Eunuch Xu nodded with a smile.

Xuanyuan Han let go of the hand pinching the center of his eyebrows, his expression indifferent. "Forget it, bring it up."

"Yes."

With the opening of the top of the food box, a tangy aroma of beef rushed into the tip of the nose, the aroma was overflowing, and the smell was mouth-watering.

What I saw was a plate of fried meat that was extraordinarily delicious, but it didn't look like meat when I looked closely.

It is bigger and longer than a meatball, flatter and wider than a piece of meat, but the color is very eye-catching, perhaps because it is just out of the oven, and it is still steaming.

"Well, it really whets the appetite." Xuanyuan Han's mood suddenly improved.

Eunuch Xu used a special tool, and quite unskillfully picked up a small piece of it and put it into the stacked bowls in front of Xuanyuan Han.

"Your Majesty, try it."

Xuanyuan Han picked it up with chopsticks, and the meat was still squeaking with oil.

Putting it into his lips and chewing it, Xuanyuan Han's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed, "It's really good."

The meat was of excellent quality, not too soft, not too hard, and the elasticity was just right.As soon as it enters the throat, the juice overflows, and the teeth and cheeks remain fragrant.

"This dish is very much in line with my wishes, Xu Fuhai, call the imperial chef who made this dish, I will reward you greatly!"

Seeing Xuanyuan Han happy, Eunuch Xu smiled meaningfully.

After a while, the little eunuch led the people.

"Your Majesty, the imperial cook is waiting at the gate of the palace."

Xuanyuan Han nodded, "Come in."

The person who walked in was wearing a light green Ruyi moiré shirt, with a thin white ribbon tied around his slender waist, holding his graceful waist.

She has an exquisite appearance and a noble temperament, and a pair of crystal-like eyes that are as bright as stars are clear to the bottom, and there is a hint of cunning cunning hidden in the waves.

A pair of slender hands set off the white wrists like jade, reflecting the layers of green skirts, it seemed even more transparent.

Yun Xiran moved lightly with lotus steps, and walked in front of the man in the dragon robe who was still eating, and said softly, "My daughter Yun Xiran, pay homage to the emperor, long live the emperor, long live, long live."
