Chapter 311 A Restless Night

"Yes. Time to act."

In Nurchi's eyes, he still couldn't see any waves, and just replied lightly.

"No hurry, it's not appropriate to do it tonight, and it's not advisable to do it here."

Luoluo took the cloak from the maid, put it on, flew on the horse, and smiled at Nurchi.

"Nurchi, I don't understand the princess' intention."

Surprise flashed in Nurchi's eyes, and then he lowered his head.

"It's very simple. This place is too close to Jimoze's sphere of influence. If there is any accident with his woman, guess what will be unlucky first, me or you?"

Luoluo smiled, looked at Yan Qing's figure among the soldiers, and said with a smile on her face: "The queen mother of Daqi is not scary, and the soldiers of Daqi are not afraid, but when a tiger meets an eagle, it is like a tiger with wings ...It's better to be careful."

"Yes. The princess is very considerate."

Nurchi lowered his head, watching the horse's hooves flying away in the dust, and there was a hint of ambiguity in his eyes.

Under the tree in the distance, three hundred cavalry were also flying away in the dust!

In the midst of Shui Yanqing's high-pitched "drive--", the yellow sand flew ninety thousand miles, reaching directly above the sky, and headed towards the northern country.

"Shui Yanqing, you are too conceited."

Nurchi raised his head slowly, with complicated expressions in his eyes.

The night of splashed ink also permeated the palace in Chang'an City.

Jimo Ze looked northward at the sky with his hands behind his back, and there were no stars in thousands of miles.

"My lord, it's late at night, it's time to go to bed."

Ling Shiyi put the silver white fox coat on him and said worriedly.

"Eleventh, I'm afraid it is, this king is doomed to have no sleep tonight."

A helpless smile appeared on Jimo Ze's red lips, and he turned to Ling Shiyi and said, "Eleventh, it's getting late, go to bed first. If there's anything else, I'll send someone to call you."

"My lord, let Eleven stand with you. Anyway, Eleven's heart will be at ease."

Ling Shiyi had never seen Jimo Ze look like this before, so he was naturally worried, and would rather wait with Jimo Ze.

"That's fine. If you're tired from standing, go and rest. It's okay."

Jimo Ze smiled slightly, knowing Ling Shixi's worries, so he didn't force him to go to sleep.

The two masters and servants stood as watchmen in the dark under a broken lamp.

And under this same sky, in the main hall of the imperial city, Huangfu Selan took the letter presented by the eunuch, opened it, and his expression changed suddenly.

It reads impressively——

"Shui Yanqin led his troops out of the city and went straight to the country of Yue. The whereabouts of the young emperor are still under investigation."

"Snapped!"

Huangfu Selan slapped the dragon case with her palm, and shouted angrily: "She Shui Yanqing thinks she has military merits, and she doesn't care about Aijia too much! Okay, Shui Yanqing, this time , it is your own fault!"

Huangfu Selan waved his hand immediately, and shouted loudly: "Come on! Let's drive to the Governor's Mansion!"

"Yes!"

The father-in-law under him responded, and the shrill voice came out——

"The empress dowager drives to the governor's mansion and prepares the sedan chair!"

Unexpectedly, before the voice fell, I heard a sound——

"Report-"

An eunuch in front of him was carrying his clothes, hurriedly came to report, looked up and saw Huangfu Selan, and panted, "General Xuanyuan Xiao from the General's Mansion came to report, saying that he has something important to discuss with the Empress Dowager!"

"Isn't it a coincidence that Xuanyuan Xiao came here?"

Huangfu Selan frowned, thinking in her heart that she would seize the opportunity of Shui Yanqing's mistake this time, and was afraid that the general's military situation would be delayed, so after weighing the pros and cons, she thought that Shui Yanqing would not be able to do it for a while. After returning to Chang'an in a while, he held back his breath and said unwillingly in a low voice, "Xuan!"

"Xuan-"

The eunuch had no expression on his face just now, and shouted loudly: "Xuan——"

Xuanyuan Xiao had already stood outside the hall gate for a long time, when he heard the sound of "Xuan", his face showed joy, as if a stone had fallen to the ground, he walked towards the hall with big strides.

"My lord, Xuanyuan Xiao, I have met the Empress Dowager. Your Majesty is as blessed as the sky, and lives the same life as the sky."

Xuanyuan Xiao was about to kneel down, but was supported by Huangfu Selan. She said with a smile on her face: "General, you don't need to be too polite. General has made great contributions to the country and society, and deserves special treatment."

Xuanyuan Xiao is a sensible person, so he naturally knows that Huangfu Selan's words are afraid of Shui Yanqing's military power, and he wants to find him to check and balance Shui Yanqing, and he is making friends at this time.

He didn't say anything, just stood up, smiled slightly, and said: "Thank you, Empress Dowager, I am very grateful."

"I don't know why Aiqing came late at night, why?"

Although Huangfu Selan was anxious to cure Shui Yanqing's crime, she couldn't drive the general out, so she had to ask patiently with a smiling face.

"The war on the frontier is unstable. I am worried about my country and the world. I have come here to discuss the country's military affairs with the empress dowager. I wonder if it has disturbed the empress dowager's rest?"

Xuanyuan Xiao glanced at the seemingly inconspicuous little eunuch, looked away meaningfully, and then asked with a smile.

"What did Ai Qing say? State affairs come first, it's okay to be sorry for your family's body, it's okay, it's just, I don't know, why is this frontier war unstable?"

Huangfu Selan immediately replied, tilted her head slightly, and looked at Xuanyuan Xiao in bewilderment.

"The empress dowager doesn't know something. Since the First World War in Chang'an, the state of Yue has been in a slump, but the state of Chu has been waiting for an opportunity. I'm afraid that this power has already penetrated into the city of Chang'an. The empress dowager might as well have a long talk with us." talk?"

Xuanyuan Xiao bowed his head as a sincere courtesy of a monarch and minister, waiting for Huangfu Selan's response.

Long talk?When is this long talk about?

However, the infiltration of Chu's forces threatened her imperial power, and she could not just sit idly by.

In desperation, Huangfu Selan nodded, and ordered: "Set up a tea case, my palace and the general will talk at night by candlelight."

On Xuanyuan Xiao's face, there was finally an imperceptible gleam of joy.

In the palace, a eunuch came to report in a panic. When he saw Jimoze, he knelt down and said in a low voice, "My lord, as you expected, the empress dowager has already planted her eyeliner in the governor's palace. I have already received the news that the commander-in-chief has left the city."

"This matter is not difficult to predict. Where is the general's mansion? Have you been there? Have you informed the general himself of Yi'er's identity?"

Jimo Ze asked eagerly.

"There is news from the palace that the general has dragged the empress dowager away. Presumably, the general intends to help the prince and the emperor. However, the general will only delay until dawn at most. Think of a way, otherwise, the commander-in-chief will lead troops to go out without permission, which is a serious crime!"

The little eunuch said worriedly.

"You go back first, and report any situation at any time. At this time, there is no other way but to procrastinate for a while. If it really can't be delayed, the only option is..."

Jimo Ze paused for a moment, his face already serious.

I hope you come back soon and don't go to that step.
