Killer Pretty Queen

Chapter 049

Entering the side hall, Xiao Li was full of worries and was extremely tired, so she fell down on the bed with her clothes on.

But even though the night was long, she couldn't fall asleep after all.Between tossing and turning, the sky has gradually brightened.

After finally feeling drowsy, Xiao Li just fell asleep in a daze, when she vaguely heard the sound of walking back and forth suddenly from outside the hall.

Immediately afterwards, even vaguely, I suddenly heard the words "His Royal Highness, this time, I'm afraid it will be bad".

In a trance, Xiao Li felt a sudden shock in her heart, she couldn't help but suddenly sat up from the bed.

Getting out of bed quickly, she ran to the door to peek.But he saw palace people in twos and threes outside the door, running towards the East Palace rapidly.

Can't help secretly worrying in her heart, Xiao Li couldn't care less, and followed the crowd.

When I came to the main hall of the East Palace, I saw that many palace people had gathered here.I saw them carrying all kinds of things in their hands, busily shuttling through the hall.

There is also the emperor and the empress, each with anxious expressions, pacing back and forth in the hall.

After a while, a person suddenly ran out of the inner hall.

Seeing the emperor, he quickly waved at him and called the man to his eyes: "How is it? How is the prince doing now?"

Seeing that the emperor was in a hurry, the palace people quickly replied: "This time, the crown prince, compared to the previous days, he seems to be coughing more severely."

When the emperor heard this, his expression darkened, but he still refused to give up, so he asked again: "Then what about the imperial physician? What did they say?"

The palace servant hesitated for a moment, but finally told the emperor what he had heard: "Return to Your Majesty, I have heard from the imperial physician that the illness on His Highness's body is probably terminal."

Hearing this, the emperor staggered suddenly and almost fell to the ground.Fortunately, the Empress next to him stretched out her hand to help him up: "Your Majesty, be careful! The concubine knows that His Majesty is worried about the prince's condition, but Your Majesty must take good care of his health!"

However, the emperor didn't pay attention to the empress, but still asked the palace man: "Since the prince's body is already in this state, why didn't you stay inside to serve, and even ran out from inside?"

After hearing this, the palace servants quickly bowed their heads and said, "Return to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness ordered the slave to say that he only wants to see the fourth prince at the moment. I want the servant to invite you quickly."

"So that's how it is." However, after the emperor heard this, the expression on his face couldn't help becoming even more sad: "I never thought that my son, the emperor, has reached this point, and the person I want to see the most is actually not I, but the Fourth Prince."

Speaking of this, a sad look suddenly flashed across the emperor's eyebrows, but in an instant, he said to the palace man again: "Come on, in that case, you should hurry up and invite Haotian Come see him before entering the palace!"

Not long after, Xiao Li saw Huangfu Haotian quickly appearing in front of Tai###'s door dragging his tired body.

Seeing that not long after he entered the inner hall, the palace servant came out to meet the emperor again. His appearance seemed to be that the prince had something important to say to the emperor.

After hearing what the palace man said, the emperor stretched out his hand and gently pushed the empress who had been supporting him all the time, and then entered the inner hall with the palace man.

Not long after, the emperor walked out from the inner hall again with the support of the crowd.And Huangfu Haotian came out with him.

When Huangfu Haotian came to the middle of the hall, he suddenly knelt down towards the emperor, gave a big gift, and said: "Father, my son is here to replace the emperor, thank you again."

But seeing that the emperor had already closed his eyes in pain, and then opened them quickly, he said to Huangfu Haotian who was kneeling on the ground: "Now that the matter has come to an end, you should get up quickly, go back and get ready."

"I obey!" As soon as Huangfu Haotian finished speaking, he quickly stood up from the ground, then took big steps, and quickly walked out of the hall.

When passing by the door, Xiao Li wanted to go up and inquire about it, but was hindered by people talking too much.In addition, I have already decided not to care about anything related to him in the future.

Therefore, she could only hide in the crowd and watch Huangfu Haotian leave.

Due to the serious illness of the prince, the first thing the empress did after she returned to the palace was to send orders to cancel the visits of the beauties in the palace.And pass it on to all the prefectures, and take them home one by one.

After Mrs. Xiao received Queen Yiyi, she went to the palace to pick Xiao Li back to the palace.

"Mother~" The moment Xiao Li saw her mother again, her heart was suddenly filled with grievances, and she almost shed tears.

Mrs. Xiao could tell at a glance that Xiao Li's face was not in a good mood.But she knew that this was the imperial palace after all, so she gave Xiao Li a wink, implying that she had to wait until she returned to the mansion to say anything.

A group of people bid farewell to the queen and empress, and returned to the mansion.

Xiao Li followed her mother, got into her own carriage, and went to the General's Mansion.

When the carriage was about to stop at the gate, there was a sudden sound of horseshoes outside the carriage.

"Who dares to break into the General's Mansion!" Suddenly, the guard at the door stopped the person.Immediately afterwards, a tired voice was heard hoarsely saying: "Here is an urgent report from the eight hundred miles of the border, please see the general!"

When Mrs. Xiao heard this, she suddenly looked out from the curtain inside the car, saw the situation outside, immediately ordered the driver to stop the car, and then quickly got out of the car.

When Xiao Li saw her, she naturally followed her mother out of the carriage.

"What happened?" Xiao Fu quickly walked up to the person and told the guards at the door: "You guys, quickly help him in. And you, hurry up and report to the general to meet him in the front hall."

Two guards supported the visitor, Xiao Li supported her mother with both hands, and the group quickly entered the front courtyard hall. At this time, the general seemed to be waiting there.

When the visitor saw the general, he immediately fell to his knees with a plop: "Report to the general, hurry up and send the report at eight hundred miles from the border, and ask the general to see it in person."

"Come forward." The general ordered with a dignified expression.

The visitor quickly took out a bamboo tube sealed with beeswax from his arms, knelt down and walked a few steps to the foot of the general.

Wang Zhong stepped forward, took the bamboo tube and handed it to the general.

The general opened the sealing wax and took out the letter to read it.For a moment, his brows could not help but wrinkle tightly.

Seeing Mrs. Xiao, she couldn't help asking: "Master, what's the matter? Did something happen at the border?"

But I saw that the general turned back and handed the letter to his wife.Then he lowered his head and asked the visitor: "When you entered Beijing, what was the situation at the border?"

I only heard someone come forward and reply: "General, when the subordinates left, the guard of Jingguo sent someone to write a letter of war to the vanguard officer General Xiao Junke. It is said that after three days, the 30 troops of Jingguo will be defeated." They want to formally attack my border town. They also said that this time, they must take down my border town Fifteen Lianchi."

"Don't they think about it!" The general couldn't help but suddenly became angry when he heard this: "These barbarians dare to take advantage of this seat to return to the capital, and want to take advantage of the opportunity to plot against my border city! Hmph, they don't even think about it. What are they doing for food! Let alone take it down, my border town is Shiwulianchi."

"Master." At this time, Mrs. Xiao who had read the letter suddenly said, "From my point of view, this matter may not be so simple."

The general couldn't help asking after hearing the words: "Oh? What's your opinion, Madam?"

Madam was about to reply, but she suddenly saw the bodyguard who was still kneeling on the ground, who came to pass the letter, and said, "Look, general, this little brother has rushed to pass the letter all the way. , I’m already exhausted to the point of exhaustion. It’s better to send someone to take him down to have a good rest right now, and it won’t be too late for you and me to discuss the border war later.”

After the general heard this, he also agreed very much, so he ordered Wang Zhong to take him down in the future.

Then he asked Madam again: "In Madam's opinion, what kind of conspiracy will the Mirror Army attack this time?"

I saw that Madam Xiao had already walked to the seat on the right of the general and sat down, and then said: "There is a saying, the master must agree with it."

The general said: "Madam, if you have anything to say, you might as well just say it."

But Mrs. Xiao said: "In these years, because you have been guarding the border and sharing weal and woe with your brothers, so that the Jing army can't find the slightest weakness, so these years, Jing and Ling have lived in peace. .”

The general couldn't help but nodded after hearing this, and said, "Madam is right."

But Madam went on to say: "However, although there have been no major wars between the two countries in these years, it does not mean that both sides have completely barren military drills. So..."

"So what?" the general asked involuntarily.

But I saw my wife suddenly smiled bitterly at the general and said: "I'm afraid that this time, even though Jing Jun wanted to take advantage of you to return to the capital, Master, he happened to come to my border town to take advantage of it. But this time, I'm afraid they are also the ones who have already prepared for it."

After thinking about it, the general couldn't help but nodded and said: "Madam's implication is right on my mind, it seems that this time, my visit to Beijing due to illness just provides a good opportunity for Jing country to attack our Ling country .”

But Madam nodded and said: "What the general said is very true. That's why the servants are worried. If this battle really starts, it may not be so easy to end."

The general frowned tightly when he heard this: "If Madam says so, I will go to the palace to ask for an order, and then I will lead the 30 troops who entered Beijing with me to meet Jun Kebai Convergence. I don't believe it yet, with the [-] army under my command, when the time comes, I won't be able to win the battle with him, the commander of a small mirror country."

However, after Madam Xiao heard these words, she suddenly frowned again: "The general's words are not unreasonable. It's just..."

Seeing Madam's expression, the General knew that something was on her mind again, so he couldn't help but smiled at her and said, "If Madam has anything to say, just say it."

Mrs. Xiao suddenly stretched out her hand to hold the general's hand: "Master, please forgive me for saying something you don't like to hear. You must know that although the current general is still the former Xiao Chaogui, the current Xiao Chaogui , but he is no longer the former general!"

Seeing the general's expression suddenly darkened after hearing these words, Xiao Li couldn't help feeling a sense of heroic shortness of breath.

Originally, she thought that when she returned home this time, she must stay with her parents well at home, never go out easily, let alone provoke unnecessary gossip.

But now, in Daling Kingdom, there is a prince who is seriously ill inside, and there is an emergency at the border outside, so how can there be any time for her to rest in peace?
