Gu Mohan looked at her condescendingly and said in a low and hoarse voice like tempered ice, "The Queen's words are serious. Your Highness has never kept the past in mind."

The queen did not hear the sarcasm in his words, and thought that things had turned around, and quickly said, "You are still broad-minded. In this case, I ask you to help me rescue the prince."

"He is still in the hands of those thieves in Xiye, and he has suffered so much. I only have such a son. He is your brother, and he is our hope for the future of Tiansheng. You must, must bring him safely. return!"

Her tone was so excited that Gu Mohan almost raised an eyebrow and knelt down.

The maids next to her were a little surprised. You know that the Queen has always been arrogant, but this was the first time she saw her begging for help in such a lowly manner.

Nan Wanyan glanced at the queen, there was pity in her eyes, but there was only pity left.

As a mother, she understood the queen's mood.

But if I had known this, why did I do it in the first place? I treated Gu Mohan so badly and now I am begging him to save people. Why?
Gu Mohan's face was calm and he said coldly, "He is a man and cannot die."

After saying that, he led Nan Wanyan into the palace without hesitation.

The queen's smile froze on her face, and her heart felt cold.

She almost lost her footing, but fortunately, the palace maid supported her in time and asked worriedly, "My queen, what's wrong with you?"

The queen watched Gu Mohan walking further and further with dull eyes, feeling a big stone weighing on her heart and unable to breathe. She couldn't tell whether it was anger or worry for Qin Yiran.

It's over, Gu Mohan is afraid that he has a lot of resentment towards her and is unwilling to lend a helping hand...

At this moment, many people in Beichen Palace were whispering in low voices, speculating on Qin Xiao's intentions.

Qin Xiao looked around, but did not find any familiar figure. He frowned and asked, "Where is Prime Minister Jiang? Have any of you seen him?"

Everyone looked at each other, and then shook their heads in confusion. Only one person said cautiously, "Back to the emperor, Prime Minister Jiang was still in the palace just now, but later he heard that something happened at home, so he hurried back home."

"But if you call urgently now, the Prime Minister will not fail to come. I'm afraid he is still on the way."

Qin Xiao snorted without saying anything, and waved his hands to signal everyone to be silent.

"That's all, it doesn't matter whether he comes or not. I came to you all of a sudden just for one thing -"

Before he finished speaking, the eunuch who reported the news suddenly heard the high-pitched tone at the door of the palace, "The Ninth Prince and Miss Meng are here——"

Qin Xiao's eyes flickered and he swallowed what he had not finished.

The ministers were shocked and looked at the door one after another with different expressions on their faces.

I saw Gu Mohan and Nan Wanyan entering the palace hand in hand, not shying away from the eyes of the people around them.

The couple's fingers were tightly intertwined, intimate.

The ministers were horrified and couldn't help but start discussing with strange eyes.

"This, the Ninth Prince was whipped because of Meng Qianqian the day before yesterday, and now he actually dares to drag Meng Qianqian to the palace?"

"Thankfully, Prime Minister Jiang is not here. If he saw this scene, wouldn't his face turn green with anger?"

"What happened to these two people? The emperor didn't stop him when he saw it. Could it be that they reconciled so quickly?"

"After all, the Ninth Prince is the Emperor's favorite son. How can he bear the real punishment? Let's stop making random assumptions and wait for the Emperor to speak."

Discussions reached the ears of the two of them, but they seemed not to have heard it. They came to the front of the hall and knelt down in front of Qin Xiao respectfully.

"My son/daughter, I have met my father/the emperor."

Qin Xiao had a headache and waved his hand, "Get back on your feet."

This attitude immediately caused another uproar.

It seems that the emperor approves that the Ninth Prince and Meng Qianqian are together?

Everyone was extremely curious, but no one dared to ask questions for fear of guessing the king's heart wrongly and making Long Yan furious.

"Thank you, Father/Your Majesty." The couple said in unison, and when they stood up, they still held hands tightly.

Qin Xiao's narrow eyes fell on the hands held by the two of them, and he frowned without saying anything.

He coughed twice and suddenly looked at everyone, "Su'er and the others are here just now. I'll finish what I just didn't finish." "I've called you here tonight. Su'er is preparing to go on an expedition. I have a few wishes. I want to announce it as soon as possible so that Su'er can hurry up and go on the expedition!"

The courtiers were stunned at first, but when they realized what happened, they were all ecstatic.

"The Ninth Prince is willing to send troops, and our Tiansheng victory can be saved!"

"In this way, His Highness the Crown Prince can come back!"

"It's great, it's great!"

Gu Mohan and Nan Wanyan looked at each other with deep eyes.

Only they know whether they are sending troops this time or using these [-] troops to contain Tiansheng and make peace.

Qin Xiao had expected this reaction from everyone, and he was relieved at this moment.

No matter what, it can be regarded as solving the urgent need at hand.

After the excitement passed, everyone gradually calmed down. Even some courtiers who were dissatisfied with Gu Mohan and Nan Wanyan being together had to compromise and waited with bated breath for Qin Xiao to announce the decree.

Qin Xiao looked deeply at Nan Wanyan and said in a cold tone, "Since Meng Qianqian, the Tutor's daughter-in-law, has no feelings for King Chonglin, I will not force you to do so and hereby cancel their engagement."

"From today on, Meng Qianqian and King Chonglin are no longer an unmarried couple, and they can marry freely in the future."

The expressions on the faces of the ministers were very exciting. Some were happy and some were worried, but most of them were those who could adapt to the changing circumstances. They greeted him with a flattering smile, "Your Majesty is wise!"

Nan Wanyan squeezed Gu Mohan's palm hard, her beautiful eyes shining with deep meaning.

Now that Qin Xiao issued the decree in front of all the civil and military officials, the bond between her and Cheng Shuyuan was officially lifted.

She knelt down and said calmly, "My lord, thank you so much, Your Majesty."

"Yes." Qin Xiao responded lightly, and then continued, "In addition, I will appoint you as a third-grade medical officer. When Su'er marches, you will set off with him and arrive at the military camp. Remember to abide by your duty. Don’t let me down!”

There was something in his words. Nan Wanyan understood it, but didn't show it on his face. He frowned and replied, "My lord, I understand."

The seemingly normal conversation between these two people caused everyone to explode.

They originally thought that Qin Xiao would just dissolve the engagement between Meng Qianqian and Qin Yinyuan, but they didn't expect that he would now appoint her as a third-grade female medical officer and let her go with the army. This is unprecedented!

Qin Xiao looked at Gu Mohan again, "Su'er, the battle on the front line is tense and there is no need to delay. I know that you are injured, but the military situation cannot delay. You must immediately rush to the reinforcements of the front line troops. You must let Xi Ye retreat when he sees the difficulties!"

Gu Mohan's dark and cold eyes flashed with complex colors, but his fair and handsome face was very calm.

He bowed his hands in salute, his voice was cold and pleasant.

"My son takes orders!"

After a major incident was over, Qin Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and waved his hand to signal the two of them to leave, "Okay, I have nothing more to say. You two are ready to get ready and leave the palace quickly."

The couple responded in unison, "Yes."

The officials were in an uproar, but all showed expressions of relief and joy, and knelt on the ground to see Gu Mohan off.

"Your Highness, Miss Meng——"

"May your highness have smooth sailing and a great defeat in Xiye!"

Looking at the expectant eyes of these people, Nan Wanyan frowned.

Different countries have different positions. She understands but it is inevitable that she will feel uncomfortable.

After all, it was a matter of life and death. Although Gu Mohan would not really go on the expedition, their ardent expectations made her a little uncomfortable.

The couple walked out hand in hand. Before they left the hall, several familiar figures came towards them.

Jiang Zhiyao walked at the front, her eyes filled with pride and jealousy. She held the Prime Minister's token high in her hand and shouted in a contemptuous tone.

"Your Majesty, wait a moment, I have something to report—!" (End of Chapter)
