Chapter 404 Approaching (21)
Eunuch Xi came out of the inner room, threw the two corpses, one large and one small, on the ground, and said coldly: "Because the prince's concubines have a deep relationship with the prince, since the prince passed away, they all missed him too much. voluntarily sacrificed himself for burial."

He paused for a moment, then raised the corners of his lips and smiled, "Let's hang them all!"

Those imperial guards rushed over one by one like hungry tigers chasing sheep, grabbed the concubines like chicks, untied their belts, strangled them one by one, and then Hang on the beam.

The huge palace was immediately filled with rickety corpses.

Eunuch Xi said with a gloomy face and a cold voice, "Go ask the people from the Ministry of Rites to deal with the funeral."

After giving the order, he went back to the imperial concubine Chun's palace. Concubine Chun was resting on the soft couch, resting her forehead with her hand.

He didn't dare to speak, but just stood quietly, waiting patiently.

Until Concubine Chun was willing to open her eyes, he said softly: "Your Majesty, I have already done what you want me to do!"

"En!" Concubine Chun casually responded, pinching the back of her neck with her hands. "My neck is a little uncomfortable again."

Eunuch Xi handed the handbag to her without saying a word, "My servant will squeeze it for you!"

"What is this?" Chunfei asked, opened the handbag, and when she saw what was inside, she couldn't help but widen her eyes. "God, these things are worth more than 100 million taels at least."

Eunuch Xi took out the silver bills again and held them up with both hands, "This is from the Crown Princess."

"You have a heart!" Concubine Chun took the bank note unceremoniously, handed it along with the handbag to the nanny who was accompanying her, and urged. "Put it away well!"

Eunuch Xi ordered someone to fetch water to wash his hands, then stood beside her, and gently pinched her neck.

In the fourth prince's mansion, Su Chenqing hurriedly walked into Gu Qingmei's room from the outside.

"Aunt Mei, I've already made inquiries!"

"How's the situation?" Gu Qingmei asked anxiously.

She was really worried, so she just sent Su Chenqing out to find out what was going on outside.

Su Chenqing felt a little thirsty from running, so he poured himself a cup of tea, and after drinking it, he said out of breath, "I heard that the son of the Marquis of Xileng entered the palace to assassinate the emperor, but he was captured alive, and now he is hanging on the city wall He was taken hostage, but the Marquis of Xileng seems to be determined, and he would rather not have his son's life than fight this battle."

Gu Qingmei's eyes flickered, and she said softly: "This is also human nature. If you give it a go, you still don't know who will win. If you surrender directly, if it is not a dead end, it will at least be a life sentence."

Ma Yunshang said unhappily from the side: "Meizi, you are already like this, why are you worrying about these things? Besides, you are a woman, and men should worry about these things."

"That's not what you said." Gu Qingmei knew that the second sister-in-law was doing it for her own good, and she was worried about her body. She was very weak now, and it was time for her to take a good rest, so it was really not suitable for her to use her brain.

She smiled and said: "Nowadays, soldiers are approaching the city. If one fails, we will lose everything. Now, the Marquis of Xileng is definitely going to fight us. At this time, if you have a strength, you will get a strength. You can't It’s too late to regret it after the city is broken.”

Ma Yunshang glared at her impatiently, "You are a life of worry!"

Gu Qingmei smiled indifferently, and said to Su Chenqing: "Qing'er, call Suifeng in!"

Su Chenqing turned around and went out, calling Sui Feng in.

Suifeng was in a very bad mood these days, Murong Yu entrusted him with such an important task, asking him to protect the young mistress, but unexpectedly, he messed up the matter.

When his mother heard that something happened to the eldest young mistress, the first thing she did was to give him a bad mouth, and if it wasn't for everyone's persuasion, she would have kicked him out of the house.

So he didn't dare to be careless, and guarded the door of Gu Qingmei's room conscientiously every day.

Gu Qingmei said: "Sui Feng, go and ask the fourth prince, do we have any rescuers? If so, when will we be able to arrive? If the rescuers arrive soon, then forget it, but if they won't arrive within three to five days Please help me tell the Fourth Prince that if there are no rescuers to save us for the time being, in order to reduce casualties, people can pour water on the city wall to freeze the entire city wall into an ice city. There is no way to attack the city. As long as there is enough food in the city, it will last until the soldiers come to save us."

Sui Feng didn't realize what her idea meant for a while, stood there, and after a long time of stunned, he finally figured it out, and couldn't help clapping his hands, and said in admiration: "Young Mistress, your idea is really great! How did you come up with it?"

Gu Qingmei smiled wryly, what else could she think?Of course I heard it from storytelling in my previous life.

She winked at Suifeng, "Okay, stop talking nonsense, let's go."

"Yes!" Suifeng agreed, turned around and rushed out.

Only then did Gu Qingmei heave a sigh of relief, and closed her eyes tiredly. After the premature birth, her body was indeed much worse than before, and she felt tired every now and then.

Suifeng found the fourth prince, and told the fourth prince what Gu Qingmei said.

The fourth prince was stunned at the time, "Irrigate the city with water? Did she really say that?"

"Yes!" Suifeng nodded. "Young Mistress said that it's okay if the rescuers will arrive soon, but if you have to wait for a while, you can use this method to say that the enemy's ladders will slip when they are placed on the city wall, and they will not be able to attack the city."

"What a good idea!" The fourth prince clapped his hands in excitement and said loudly. "Pass down the order to let the slaves of each mansion, as well as the common people, all take something that can hold water, and after fetching water, send it to the nearest city wall, and pour the water on the city wall."

Immediately, someone went down to deliver the order, and after an hour, someone brought water over one after another.

Bucket after bucket of water was poured on the city wall, and the scouts sent by the southern army on the opposite side looked at their actions and couldn't help being a little puzzled.After going back to report to the lieutenant general, the lieutenant general didn't know what they were doing, and the Marquis of Xileng had just been rescued by the military doctors and was unable to take charge, so he had to order that he would not attack today and wait until tomorrow.

As a result, when everyone saw it tomorrow, they were all dumbfounded. The city that they thought should be easy to break into had turned into a white city of ice.

The southern army attacked three times, but each time, the ladder could not be erected.

After failing three times, the Marquis of Xileng couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood immediately, and fell ill just like that.

"Lord Hou, let's go back to southern Xinjiang. If it doesn't work, we will separate a piece of land and everyone will support you as king. There is really no way to fight this battle. Since the emperor has known every step of ours, it must be Arrangements have been made a long time ago. Although the capital and the surrounding prefectures and counties are all empty of troops and cannot send troops, he will definitely send troops back from the border. At that time, it will not be so easy for our 5 people to withdraw immediately gone."
