In the palace, Cang Minglang changed out of his bloody robe and lay comfortably on the bed. The guards on the side hurriedly handed him hot tea so that he could reach it.
"Is the Emperor in Fengyi Palace now?" He said slowly.
"Yes." The guard replied, "The eunuch who sent the message said that the emperor was reprimanding the queen. The queen was crying sadly and has fainted twice."
Cang Minglang raised the corners of his lips, "It's better to cry all your tears now than to cry all your tears later."
"Her precious son is crying just as much as she is in that barren land, so he shares the joys and sorrows."
The guard echoed a few words, and then saw the blood overflowing from his chest again, and couldn't help but add another sentence, "Why did your Highness hit the tip of the Queen's knife? What if something happens?"
Cang Minglang raised the corners of his lips, "Don't you know how much the queen weighs? She is a pampered person, how can she know where to stab someone with a knife?"
"If you dare to do this, you've got this point in mind."
The guard said in confusion: "Even so, His Highness the Crown Prince doesn't need to do this? What's more, Princess Xuan is not grateful now, and the subordinates feel disgusted when they look at her!"
He was filled with righteous indignation, but Cang Minglang just smiled and said, "You don't understand anything. Some things are just for others to see."
"Princess Xuan is a smart person, and she must have seen Gu's intentions."
The guard was even more confused, but Cang Minglang no longer planned to explain to him, but raised his hand to ask him to step back.
After the inner room became quiet, he raised his head and looked at the beams.
"What's going on over there in Yun Kingdom?"
The masked man hiding on the beam whispered: "Everything goes well, Your Highness just needs to act according to the plan."
Cang Minglang nodded, "Things have come to this point. Don't make any mistakes. If your plan to harm Gu fails, Gu will definitely kill you."
"Your family will not be spared."
The masked man hurriedly said: "Your Highness, don't worry!"
"Keep an eye on everyone who should be watched, don't miss anyone." Cang Minglang said coldly.
"yes!"
After the masked man left, Cang Minglang lowered his head and glanced at the wound on his chest.
Being stabbed once made Shen Luoxi owe a favor that he could not deny no matter what, which was a good deal for him.
…
Half a month later, fighting broke out frequently on the front line, and the border was repeatedly invaded by the Yun State, resulting in numerous casualties among Jing State soldiers.
The most common thing I heard every morning was that the food and fodder at the front were in short supply, and the soldiers suffered heavy casualties.
In the past half month, the emperor's brows have not relaxed.
"Now that the Yun Kingdom is invading, there are so many of you, can't you even think of a solution?" He said in a shocked voice: "The people on the border are suffering terribly. If this continues, the people of the Yun Kingdom will attack the capital!"
"But you are eating your salary for free, don't you feel ashamed!"
No one in the court dared to speak out. After all, if they didn't go well, they would have to bear the emperor's anger for the past half month.
"Your Majesty, I feel that our survival is at stake right now. If we can't cut through the mess quickly, Jingguo will be in danger." Cang Minglang stood up and said: "We should send a capable person to lead the soldiers to defend Jingguo! "
After he finished speaking, everyone looked at Cang Yunxuan.
Cang Yunxuan's expression was as usual, but his hands under his robe were clenched into fists. He didn't take a step forward until the emperor's eyes fell on him.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that I am willing to go!"
His voice echoed in the hall, and Cang Minglang immediately walked up to him and patted his shoulder.
"King Xuan understands the righteousness well and actually took the initiative to take on this great responsibility. With King Xuan's talent, he will definitely be able to defeat the Yun Kingdom!"
Cang Yunxuan remained silent.
He has remained silent since the war between Jingguo and Yunguo. If the emperor does not mention this matter, he will say nothing.
After all, if he took the initiative to mention it, he would definitely arouse suspicion.
"Okay! I am very pleased that King Xuan is willing to take the initiative to lead the army." The emperor smiled slightly, "Without further delay, today you will lead an army of 50,000 people and rush to the border overnight!"
Cang Yunxuan pursed her lips and said, "Yes."
After the morning court, Cang Yunxuan returned directly to the palace.
He sat in the study looking a little tired, and after a while he asked the guards to find Shen Luoxi and Ning Yanran.
Ning Yanran arrived the fastest, and Shen Luoxi arrived just behind.
Cang Yunxuan said dissatisfied: "Why did you come so slowly?"
Shen Luoxi didn't take it seriously, "This matter is not important. What is important is why the prince came to me."
Cang Yunxuan's eyes widened, but she swallowed the reprimanding words on her lips. Ning Yanran calmed down Cang Yunxuan considerately, and then scolded Shen Luoxi and said: "Your Majesty has just left the morning court and is very tired. At this time, sister, please don’t do this to the prince.”
Shen Luoxi rolled his eyes and looked at Cang Yunxuan calmly, "So can the prince say it now?"
Hearing such cold words, Cang Yunxuan tried her best to restrain herself from being dissatisfied with Shen Luoxi.
He gritted his teeth and said, "I am going to the border tonight to defend against the Yun Kingdom's army. I don't know when I will be able to come back."
"So when the king is not in the palace, you two can take care of each other."
When Shen Luoxi heard this, his eyebrows were a little surprised.
The war between Jingguo and Yunguo was fierce, she had heard Hao Yan and Mu Xing talk about it.
She saw that the emperor did not send Cang Yunxuan to the expedition because he was afraid that Cang Yunxuan would shake the prince's position, so he had other plans. It seemed that this was not the case now.
Shen Luoxi narrowed his eyes slightly and took in Cang Yunxuan's solemn expression, and he guessed it in his heart.
I am afraid that the emperor deliberately asked Cang Yunxuan to bring up this matter. Firstly, it will not shake Cang Minglang's position in the court. Secondly, after Cang Yunxuan comes back from solving the affairs of Yun State, what if he wants to use his military exploits? , the emperor can easily find the fault.
It's a good strategy to kill two birds with one stone.
She calmed down and looked at Ning Yanran with a half-smile, "Of course I have no problem. As long as my sister keeps her peace, the palace will be in peace before the prince comes back."
Ning Yanran's heart tightened when she looked at her, and she quickly looked pitifully at Cang Yunxuan.
"My lord, can you take me with you?"
"I will never cause trouble to the prince..."
Cang Yunxuan looked at her reddish eyes and held her hand distressedly, "The sword on the battlefield has no eyes. I will have no time to take care of you. If something happens to you, I will never forgive myself."
"Just wait for me at the palace. I will definitely come back as soon as possible."
Ning Yanran wanted to say something more, but in the end she just nodded obediently.
"You go out first, I have something to tell her." Cang Yunxuan said.
Ning Yanran's eyes flashed when she heard this, turned around and walked out of the study, leaving Shen Luoxi and Cang Yunxuan in the same room.
"To make a long story short, I ask you to remove the poison from my body. How sure are you?"
