Abandoned Concubine's Promotion

Chapter 623 The Fish Has Bitten the Hook
Xia Qianluo was ordered to find a way to preserve what was added to the food. Emperor Jing looked at the people present and ordered the officials to retreat and leave Yanqing Palace.

Li Zheng followed Su Zhiyuan out of Yanqing Palace and walked towards the outside of the palace. Along the way, the two of them didn't say anything. Although Li Zheng wanted to ask some questions, seeing Su Zhiyuan's not-so-good face, he didn't say anything. .

With the current situation, no one would be happy about it. No matter what, Imperial Concubine Chen is also the daughter of her cousin, and her daughter is missed by everyone in every possible way. As a father, he will naturally be very worried.

Thinking of this, Li Zheng felt even more fortunate that he hadn't done anything foolish.

…………

In the Yanqing Palace, Emperor Jing looked at the concubines present, his eyes flicked slowly over everyone's faces, the emperor's coercion was extremely heavy, not to mention other concubines, even Rong Guifei couldn't bear it.

"No matter who did it this time, I hope you can hide it deeply and don't be caught by me..." After leaving a sentence, Emperor Jing embraced Su Qingyan and walked towards the outside of the hall, because Concubine Zhuang She's still there, so Su Qingyan doesn't want to leave.

Seeing Su Qingyan's insistence, Emperor Jing didn't force it, and simply accompanied her, waiting for Concubine Zhuang to wake up in the side hall.

"Your Majesty, the servant is back." Kang Ninghai's voice came from outside the hall, and Emperor Jing responded, watching Kang Ninghai and Hong Xiu enter the hall.

Behind the two, Concubine Rong followed. After all, she hosted the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet. Now that something like this happened, she naturally wanted to know what was going on.

"What did you find out?" Emperor Jing asked Kang Ninghai without the ceremony from Kang Ninghai and Hongxiu.

"If you go back to the emperor, the slave is incompetent and can't find anything." Kneeling on the ground, Kang Ninghai opened his mouth and said back. At this time, his face was very ugly.

This time, it’s really no wonder that Kang Ninghai couldn’t find anything. When he tracked down the imperial cook, three of the imperial cooks who were in charge of the palace banquet today died directly. Not only that, but also the palace maid died. , How does this allow Kang Ninghai to investigate?

"Everyone is dead?" After listening to Kang Ninghai, Emperor Jing narrowed his eyes slightly. He understood that the reason for this must be that there were spies from other countries in the palace.

"I see, you get up." Waved to Kang Ninghai, Emperor Jing was silent, his face was very gloomy, Concubine Rong stood aside, and after listening to Kang Ninghai finished speaking, he couldn't help being secretly surprised in his heart.

The harem is heavily guarded. Under such circumstances, there are royal chefs and palace maids who died so quietly. How can this not shock her? Could it be that there is someone else hiding in the palace?

It was Concubine Rong, and she immediately thought of the key to the problem. However, in this case, she could not ask Emperor Jing, but could only wait until later to investigate secretly. By the way, she also asked her family to help her investigate.

"Concubine Rong, let the concubines of Yanqing Palace disperse." Looking at Concubine Rong, Emperor Jing opened his mouth and ordered, Concubine Rong responded and retreated to the outside of the hall, Hong Xiu also left, leaving only Kang Ninghai standing in the hall.

"You back off too. If Dr. Xia comes back, let her come in directly." After ordering Kang Ninghai, Emperor Jing took Su Qingyan's hand and sat in the outer room, waiting for Concubine Zhuang to wake up. Among them, there is Pinellia guarding it.

After saluting, Kang Ninghai retreated outside the hall.

"General, the woman who was kidnapped by his subordinates is really Su Qinghan's fiancée. In the past few days, Su Qinghan has been extremely anxious to find his fiancée."

In the Chu army camp, the spy spoke flatteringly, and reported to Huo Dongge that he had received a lot of news in the past few days, and he reckoned that even if he would not be promoted this time, at least the general would He will not be allowed to return to the border city.

After all, if he went back again, he would be too dangerous. In any case, he was also a person who made contributions, so the general should not treat him too much.

Thinking of this, the smile on the spy's face deepened. Seeing the smile on his face, Huo Dongge only felt irritable.

"Of course I know that she is Su Qinghan's fiancée. Let me ask you, what news has there been in the border city these few days?" Huo Dongge asked the spies, and a murderous intent flashed in Huo Dongge's eyes.

"Return to the general..." He spoke quickly, and the spy reported all the news he had recently received to Huo Dongge, but he didn't notice the murderous intent that flashed in Huo Dongge's eyes.

"So, what you said before is also true?" After hearing the spies, Huo Dongge spoke again and asked him.

"It's true, it's absolutely true, General, right now is the best opportunity to attack. We also have Su Qinghan's fiancée in our hands. They will definitely not dare to fight back!"

Nodding quickly, the expression on the spy's face was a little excited. He observed in the past few days that Su Qinghan was seriously injured. Although there was an imperial doctor in the capital, Su Qinghan was hit hard because of his fiancée. aggravated.

Although there is still Shen Hao in the border city, but that man is a brave and foolhardy man, it is still very easy to deal with him.

"Understood, this time, you don't need to go back to the southwest border, just stay in the barracks." After hearing the spies, Huo Dongge nodded, "Go down."

"Yes, General." Somewhat unwillingly, the spy walked out slowly. He still wanted to reward him, but the general didn't seem to have any intention of rewarding him.

Seeing the spy leave, Huo Dongge snorted coldly and sat on the chair. He pondered over the spy's words and thought about the battle plan in his heart.

Although he was injured, he could let others play when he was in battle. After all, he was the main general, so it was fine if he didn't fight, not to mention that he was injured.

Thinking of this, the plan in Huo Dongge's heart is gradually taking shape...

Border City, in the General's Mansion.

"General, you can close the net now." Walking in from outside the house, Lu Xing said back to Su Qinghan with an excited face.

"Is that spy out of the city?" Hearing what Lu Xing said, Su Qinghan asked, and after a few more days of recuperation, his injuries have healed a lot, but he still can't do strenuous exercise, and he's fine when he gets out of bed and walks.

"Yes, it won't be long before Chu State will attack again. This time, the last general must kill a few more." Responding, Lu Xing smiled, and Su Qinghan's smile deepened after listening.

"Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. Let the kitchen cook more good dishes. By the way, the barracks will also inform the soldiers to reward the soldiers. The big battle is coming. This is a rare leisure. Because it is a holiday, I made an exception."

Looking at Lu Xing, Su Qinghan opened his mouth to give instructions, and after Lu Xing finished listening, he quickly responded and walked out of the house.
