Chapter 380
Expedited eight hundred miles is either a military order or a battle report.

It looks like a battle report, but it is a bad battle report.

Mu Jin got the news before dark that General Li was trapped in Qingzhou, his whereabouts were unknown, and his life and death were uncertain. Hukou Gorge fell into the hands of King Ning again.

Su Nanzhen was a little worried about Li Ying when she heard the news. If she knew that General Li's whereabouts were unknown, she might be worried day and night, so she asked Mu Jin to help pass a post to Li Ying and make an appointment to meet him.

However, at this moment, Li Ying and Princess Huairou were rushing to Changle Palace.

It's just that they were also turned away.

In the hall, the empress dowager saw only the emperor.

Knowing that time is running out, the Empress Dowager did not listen to the imperial doctor's advice and insisted on seeing the emperor alone.

The empress dowager shouted ginseng in her mouth, her voice was weak, and she felt a little relieved when she saw the emperor who had calmed down a lot. She asked not to embarrass the palace people and the imperial doctor, and she didn't speak anymore.

The emperor poured her a glass of water and fed her a little.

The Empress Dowager closed her eyes, stayed there for a while, then sighed as soon as she opened her mouth, "Don't let your father out, even if it's Ai's funeral, remember."

"Grandson will remember." The emperor agreed with red eyes.

"Xue'er, show her a marriage, don't ask for glory and wealth, but only for safety." The Empress Dowager thought of Murong Bo's expression, the two brothers and sisters finally separated.

What she owed her daughter, let Murong Xue marry back to Wei State as her compensation to her daughter.

Although the emperor was a little puzzled, he still agreed.

"Xue'er can't be indulged." The Empress Dowager closed her eyes, her face was full of exhaustion, and she passed out again.

The emperor hurriedly asked the imperial doctor to come to treat the empress dowager.

A group of imperial doctors tried their best, and it took nearly an hour to save the man.

People are awake, they are risking their lives to stop the Empress Dowager from seeing other people.

Her hard work was almost exhausted, and if the Empress Dowager didn't take a good rest, it would be difficult for the gods to save her.

Seeing that they sentenced the empress dowager to death, the emperor was furious.

"My minister has the guts to say that if the Empress Dowager insists on seeing other people, I'm afraid she won't be able to make it through the third watch." The head of the Tai Hospital knelt down and said in fear.

The emperor and Princess Huairou were very sad when they heard this.

But the imperial doctor did not prevent them from seeing the Empress Dowager for the last time, at most one person a day, so that the Empress Dowager could barely survive for another ten days.

This is still the most optimistic estimate.

The emperor thought of the war, and now the empress dowager is not optimistic, and he promised that the empress dowager will not hold the imperial doctor accountable, so he can only accept this fact helplessly.

The affairs of the Empress Dowager are very important, and so is the war. The emperor had to ask Princess Huairou and the Queen to take care of him more, and he had to deal with state affairs.

The Ministry of War, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Industry and other important officials are already waiting in the imperial study.

Some people say that General Li underestimated the enemy this time, while others say that King Ning tricked General Li into Qingzhou last time. However, the emperor did not listen to their explanation of the reason for this defeat, but asked them to think of a solution.

The prime minister meant to let Ding Guogong come back, the relationship between Wei Guo and Chen Guo is good, Ding Guogong is a waste of talent at the border, it is better to come back for emergency.

The emperor thought about it and agreed, but Hukou Gorge fell into King Ning's hands again, he was unwilling to let it go, and he couldn't wait for Duke Ding to come back to take back Hukou Gorge, wouldn't it make King Ning look down on them.

Mr. Hu thought for a while, and recommended Pei Songzhi, after all, he was the only one among the champions of martial arts who had led soldiers to fight.

However, Pei Songzhi has never led soldiers to fight, that time he just wanted to save his father back, that's all a public opinion, but he really saved his father back, Murong Xue and Murong Bo were able to be rescued because of him A credit.

The emperor was a little moved, but just to be on the safe side, he thought it would be more appropriate to appoint Pei Ming as the coach and Pei Songzhi as the deputy general.

Fighting father and son soldiers, maybe they can save the defeat.

The others saw that someone was competent and could not find any major faults, so they unanimously agreed with the proposal.

Having something on his mind, the emperor hurried to see the empress dowager.

But the empress dowager had already rested, so he only took a look from a distance.

Princess Huairou and Li Ying only took a look at the Empress Dowager when they entered the palace, but they didn't have a chance to say a word to her. However, they also accidentally learned that General Li's whereabouts were unknown.

Li Ying couldn't sit still, she wished she could go back to Qingzhou immediately to save others.

"We'll talk about it when we go home." Princess Huairou shook her head.

In Zhongyonghou's Mansion, Pei Ming and Pei Songzhi received the imperial decree and packed their bags overnight.

Pei Ming didn't expect that his quilt could be used on the battlefield again.

But Pei Songzhi thought that he might miss the appointment again.

Looking at the packed luggage, he didn't leave immediately, the food and grass hadn't been prepared, the soldiers and horses hadn't assembled yet, and they wouldn't set off until tomorrow afternoon at the earliest.

"I hope the war will end soon. I hope I can stay by your side and watch the child be born." Pei Songzhi rubbed his stomach, and the child in his stomach moved, which surprised and delighted him, making him even more reluctant.

"National affairs are important, and the child will understand." Su Nanzhen touched again, but he couldn't feel the child moving, "The child can also understand, even I ignore it, but it makes you feel his/her kindness."

"Maybe it's just to support for a while. The person the emperor hopes to send is Duke Ding." Pei Songzhi is still a little optimistic, maybe he can catch up with the birth of the child.

"I can do it by myself. You can't be distracted on the battlefield. I just want you to return safely."

"I will."

The couple were talking heartfelt words. Pei Ming came to find Pei Songzhi to discuss the countermeasures to recapture the Hukou Gorge. He hadn't led troops for many years, so he still needed to make sufficient preparations.

The father and son entered the study room to discuss the terrain of Qingzhou and the situation of Hukou Gorge.

But Su Nanzhen received an order from the old lady. The old lady asked her to see if there was anything to add to the bags prepared by the father and son. Tomorrow she would go out in person to ask for a safety talisman for the two of them.

As for her, she doesn't have to follow her if she is pregnant, just let her arrange everything.

Su Nanzhen checked Pei Songzhi's luggage, and prepared some medicine and dry food for him.

After all this was done, the father and son hadn't come out of the study, she was sleepy, waiting, and fell asleep in a daze.

The person who woke up was lying down, and the quilt was well covered, but he was not seen. Su Nanzhen hurriedly got up and dressed, and answered the old lady.

After eating breakfast with the old lady in Ming Letang, Su Nanzhen was a little worried and asked Mu Jin to secretly escort the old lady all the way.

In Changle Hall, the Empress Dowager woke up and couldn't wait to see the Emperor and the Empress.

The imperial doctor examined her and reluctantly agreed to her request.

She will be awake, but people can't sit up, and can only lie down and talk to them.

The empress dowager looked at the queen, "I'm pregnant for ten months, so it's almost time for the child to be born, right?"
