Evil King's Favorite Concubine

Chapter 405 Being questioned
The situation was really urgent, so Danxin agreed to Ye Lingxu almost without hesitation, just so that he could leave with peace of mind.

Lian Ye ordered everyone to start preparing their bags. Fortunately, it was still early, and it was only three o'clock when everyone packed up. It was the dead of night, so they could leave without anyone noticing.

The mighty team left the imperial city of Chu in batches, and by the time everyone got together, it was already dawn.

"Let's separate here. Yan Guo is definitely trying to catch Wei Guo by surprise while you are not here this time. You don't have to worry too much. I believe Yang Rong, Yan Mo and the others can deal with it for a while." Looking at Ye Lingxu, "It's you, your body is just right, and you are too anxious to hurry."

Ye Lingxu nodded pretending to be relaxed, "Don't worry, I'm fine."

Even so, Danxin was still a little worried: "Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case, it's better to be more careful in everything." After speaking, he glanced at Yun Huan beside Ye Lingxu, "Yun Huan, it's nice to serve Ye Lingxu, Don't let him do whatever he wants."

"I, how can I control it?" Yun Huan scratched his head in embarrassment, where did he have the courage to meddle in the emperor's affairs and make decisions for the emperor.

"I gave you the right to manage him well, and you have to manage him well!" Danxin said angrily.

Unexpectedly, Ye Lingxu couldn't help laughing out loud when he heard Danxin's roar, saying that Danxin had him in his heart, and it seemed that it was true.

"Still laughing!" Angrily glanced at Ye Lingxu, if there were no one around, she would not have said such a thing!
Seeing this, Yun Huan nodded and accepted the order. Anyway, in his opinion now, the empress is much bigger than the emperor, at least in terms of emotional status.As he spoke, he caught a glimpse of Qing'er who had been silent behind Danxin from the corner of his eye, approached Danxin and whispered: "Your Majesty, I also have an unfeeling request, can you help me watch Qing'er, I'm afraid she will make a mistake. Confused, the Ninth Prince is too cunning."

"You don't need to tell me, I'll be optimistic about it." Danxin glanced sideways at Qing'er behind her, seeing her gloomy expression, knowing that she was still arguing with him about the Ninth Prince's matter.With a sigh in my heart, the woman who fell in love...

After talking for a while, Ye Lingxu turned to look at the guards waiting at the bottom of the slope, "Okay, it's almost time, it's really time to start."

"Well, take care of yourself, and see you in the future." Danxin thanked her and only said eight words.

The two teams parted ways on the slope, one headed south and the other headed west, with different moods in different directions.

What Ye Lingxu thought was to settle the chaos of the war as soon as possible, and then return to Danxin's side.

And Danxin was thinking, it's better to separate now, lest the relationship come back after being together for a long time.

The speed of the two teams was about the same, and the distance was similar, but it was faster to take the water route than Ye Lingxu's land route. When they arrived in Jingzhou of Qi State, Ye Lingxu was still a day or two away from Youzhou City of Wei State.

"Welcome the empress back to court!" On the day Danxin arrived, no one organized, everyone spontaneously came to the gate of the city, and welcomed Danxin all the way back to the palace from the gate.

It's been almost two months since we left, and the country of Qi is not as hot as it was when we left, so we calmly lean on the dragon chair and accept the worship of the officials below.

Suddenly a person came out from the ranks of civil servants, "Your minister, Shen Zhi, sees the queen."

"Shen Zhi?" Danxin frowned, always felt that the name was very familiar, after being reminded by the father-in-law next to him, he suddenly realized, isn't this the eldest son of the former prime minister?Back then she asked him to enter the Ministry of Rites to study with Shangshu, why did he come out today? Could it be that there is something important to announce?

"Master Shen, what do you want to play?" Knowing that this person is the eldest son of the former prime minister, his calm tone softened instantly.

Unexpectedly, Shen Zhi's words made Dan Xin's face change drastically.

When he was about to listen to Shen Zhi's memorial with a light smile, he heard Shen Zhi eloquently scolding above the main hall of the imperial study: "I think there are three things wrong with the empress going to Chu!"

As soon as this remark came out, it immediately attracted the attention of all the officials, and some people quietly raised their eyes to look at Danxin, only to see Danxin hesitated for a moment, but still maintained a decent smile on his face. "Really, I have three points, don't I? Then please count them one by one, Master Shen, so that I can correct them."

"First, you, as the king of a country, leave the country without permission. whereabouts, this is the second crime."

Frowning lightly, these are not big crimes, dispensable.What's more, the emperor's private visit, where to visit and who to bring, should he obey all the officials one by one?So what's the point of being an emperor?

"The two points mentioned by Mr. Shen, I don't think it's a big problem. If the third crime is like this, then Mr. Shen doesn't need to talk about it. Retire."

"Wait." Shen Zhi was twenty-one years old, but because he was in an official family since he was a child, especially in the prime minister's house where there are more than ten thousand people and one person, his temperament is inevitably a little more majestic than ordinary people.

At this time, when he yelled like this, it made Danxin feel for no reason, did she really do something wrong?Sitting back on the dragon chair again, he looked at Shen Zhi leisurely, "Okay, I will give you another chance, if the third point is still the same, don't say that I am a faint king and don't listen to the advice of my ministers."

Shen Zhi looked at Danxin angrily, and said through gritted teeth: "Third! The Qi Kingdom has existed for hundreds of years and has never had an empress. What is it that you use to sit on this dragon chair?"

Danxin only felt Shen Zhi's anger towards her at this moment, although she didn't know where his anger came from, but she was not someone to be played around with.His icy eyes swept across the civil and military officials present, "How many people have the same doubts as Mr. Shen, stand up?"

Time passed by, and at first no one dared to come out, but after a courtier who had a good relationship with Shen Zhi came out, more than 20 courtiers came out one after another.

"Okay, very good!" Smiling instead of anger, he stood up from the dragon chair and looked down at the civil and military officials below, "Since Mr. Shen has three dissatisfaction with me, then I will also say three things about me. The reason why I can sit in this position."

Standing calmly and upright on the main hall, under the dazzling sunlight outside the hall, her figure in bright yellow made her look extraordinarily tall and straight.

"First, I am from the Su family. The Supreme Emperor Su Qingyang was said to be in my position at the beginning, not for me to take the throne! Second..." Danxin waved his hand, and an eunuch immediately presented a brocade box, and Danxin took the tiger talisman from inside. Take it out, "Secondly, I have a tiger talisman in my hand that can mobilize all the soldiers and horses of Qi State; thirdly, so what if I am a woman, tell yourself, have I missed anything since I became the throne?"

Calmly widening his eyes, he glanced at the civil and military officials in the palace, "I cut taxes so that the common people can live and work in peace and contentment; I created a private school for women so that more women can serve the court except for men; I established black clothes and iron armor, It makes people frightened. Which point, did I do wrong?"

All the officials were silent for a while, and no one dared to refute after the indifferent words were uttered.

When Shen Zhi calmly took out the tiger talisman, his face was already livid, and he finally walked away.

"I can forgive Mr. Shen for being young and arrogant, but today other adults who are hesitant to me will all be demoted to their original ranks, and their salary will be halved!" If not, come and question me in person!”

Huh... After retreating from the imperial court, Danxin sat at the desk and pressed her head hard. What happened in the hall today caught her by surprise. It seems that someone said something to Shen Zhi. die.Danxin felt like his head was about to explode, what can I do to make Shen Zhi let go of the hatred in his heart?
"Empress, this is the medicine that the imperial doctor prescribed for you. He said that you were too excited when you went to court today, and your heart may be unstable, so..." Qing'er has been having an awkward dispute with Danxin for a long time. Shang Dynasty did not accompany Danxin to go.It was only later that I heard that such a thing happened in the main hall, and at the same time feeling guilty, I hurried to the imperial doctor and prescribed a medicine for Danxin.

Danxin took the medicine bowl in her hand, and swallowed the medicine juice, "I'm fine, you go back first, no one is allowed to come in and disturb me without my order."

"Okay." Qing'er nodded, and before leaving, she gave Danxin a worried look, seeing her pale face, leaning on the desk with her forehead propped, she felt really distressed.While feeling distressed, she also slowly felt guilty. The queen has so many things to deal with every day, but she is still ignorant, so she insists on making trouble with the queen.

"Qing'er, you are so confused!" Thinking of this, Qing'er couldn't help but slap herself hard.

In Weiguo, Ye Lingxu finally returned to Youzhou City after traveling day and night. As soon as they got off the carriage, Yang Rong and Yan Mo had already arrived in front of Ye Lingxu. "Your Majesty, the state of Chu is coming aggressively this time, I'm afraid it was premeditated."

"Talk while walking." Ye Lingxu said in a deep voice.

When he came to the Nine Dragon Hall, Ye Lingxu glanced at the pile of memorials, "Is the battle going bad?"

Yang Rong nodded his head with difficulty, "At this time, the Yan State came prepared, and the incident happened suddenly, so I could only immediately dispatch troops from nearby. But due to time constraints, I lost the opportunity and lost a lot." Being so busy with war affairs that he didn't even have time to eat and rest, these memorials naturally piled up.

"You did a good job." Ye Lingxu patted Yang Rong on the shoulder and sat on the dragon chair, "Bring me the map."

In fact, the Yan State launched a war against the Wei State for a long time. After successfully taking down the two cities of the Wei State, he immediately wrote a letter to share his joy with the Emperor Chu.

All of a sudden, everyone knew that Wei Guo had been caught off guard by Yan Guo, and Ye Lingxu had also become Yan Wang's defeated general.

"What!" When Zhizhi heard the news, he and the Ninth Prince beside him were stunned, "My father and emperor sent troops to attack Weiguo, how is this possible?"

The Ninth Prince said with a cold face, "How is that impossible? There is nothing wrong with it. If the news has already reached Chu, it is likely to be true." After finishing speaking, he looked sideways at Zhizhi and smiled charmingly, "Ye Lingxu is not you. Your old lover, why, don't you want to help him?"

"I'll figure it out myself." Zhizhi gritted his teeth, "give me some money, I want to go back to Yan Country."
