Chapter 66
"Then, if I want to kiss you, can you measure it?" Xu Shi sensed Xie Xinyue's anger, and Mu Yun spoke weakly, her big moist eyes looked pitiful.

"Forget it, young master, come and measure him. I'll watch from the side, and I can write down the size." Anyway, this person in front of me is a noble man, and Hui Gu doesn't dare to let him suffer. wronged.

"Oh, okay!"

Xie Xinyue sighed, only thinking that she would completely become this guy's personal nanny in the future.What else can I do, just do it honestly!Height, waist circumference, bust circumference, and the length of feet are completely reduced to the female workers of the sewing room.

"Master, I'll go out and buy later. After all those things happened last night, I'm worried that there are still people watching you secretly. I don't think Mr. Yun can do without you, in case he gets into trouble after you go out , Brother Yan and I can’t persuade you either.”

"Okay, let Brother Yan go out together, and help me buy the things I bought yesterday. Also, Brother Yan, please pay attention to inquire about the news, especially on the side of Xishan, if there is anything unusual."

"Okay, brother, don't worry, I promise to complete the task!"

Last night when she was kidnapped and found Mu Yunshen was in Xishan, it would be best if the third prince and his hidden guards had already left.However, since the other party already knew her identity and was secretly ambush, she might not be able to stay on Liuxiang's side any longer.

Some time ago, the money from seeing a doctor was about 1000 taels. Now that the car dealership has started to make money, there will be a few taels of silver income every month. Although it is not much, it is enough for monthly living expenses. 1000 taels of silver is not too little, enough for her to buy a better big house in Xiang'an City.It's just that after spending it, she has no savings at all.

Money, money, it really wasn't enough at all times, plus she had to treat Mu Yunshen's illness, so she needed a lot of precious medicinal materials, so she had to think about ways to make money.

The capital, the imperial palace.

"What did you say? The third prince was seriously injured and returned to Beijing? What about my little Qi? How is he?" Empress Chu asked anxiously, wishing she could run outside the palace to see her precious prince.

"Mother, Xiao Qi did not come back with the third brother. Now the third brother is seriously injured and comatose, and the guard who escorted him is also dying. Now only after the third brother wakes up can we know Xiao Qi's whereabouts. Mother, Don't worry, Xiaoqitaji has his own aura, and nothing will happen to him! Maybe he was delayed on the road, and he will be back in two days."

The gentle and handsome man stood beside Empress Chu and comforted him. He had sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and his whole body revealed a graceful and bookish air. His tone was soft but strangely convincing.This person is the eldest son of Empress Chu, His Royal Highness Mu Yunbin.

"Did your father know about this?"

"Father has already gone to the Palace of the Third Emperor to see him. Empress Mother, don't worry. If there is any news, Father will tell you right away."

"These damned Wala people!" Empress Chu couldn't help cursing, her face still showing panic and worry.

The auspicious snow heralds a good year, and the first snow came early this year, and the entire capital is prosperous, preparing for the upcoming New Year's Eve.Unexpectedly, at this moment, the news of Oala's invasion came from the border, which shocked the ruling and opposition parties.

It turned out that for the nomads, the heavy snow froze many of their livestock to death, and because of the drought in summer, they finally survived, but suffered again in winter.The nomads are already fierce, and they heard that the Huwei general Cheng Wang was assassinated by the people of the Western Regions, and now only half of his life is left to support him.In order to survive, they once again started burning, killing and looting at the border.

You must know that ever since the small border country frightened King Cheng and sealed the Great Zhou Dynasty as a kingdom of heaven, it has hardly dared to invade or invade an inch of the Great Zhou Dynasty's land.The soldiers at the border were too lazy to drill, and many elite troops were transferred back to the capital, so they were caught off guard and retreated steadily.

King Cheng's condition is serious, coupled with his old age, it is naturally impossible to go to the battlefield again.And at this time, His Highness the Third Prince took the initiative to ask Ying to lead troops to the border for support.Emperor Xingwen felt very relieved, so he appointed the third prince as a general, selected a vanguard officer from the Ministry of War, and immediately mobilized [-] troops to guard the border.

When the imperial court came to rescue, the morale of the border gate naturally increased greatly. After several battles and warnings, the third prince became a little proud and never took the Wala people seriously.He thought he would be able to return to the court smoothly, but unexpectedly the Oirats colluded secretly with the Turkic people to divert the tiger away from the mountain, which severely dampened the spirit of the third prince. More than half of the [-] army was killed and injured, and half of the city was lost.

When the news came back to the capital, Emperor Xingwen was furious, and immediately mobilized another [-] troops, intending to let King Cheng go into battle in person.His Royal Highness King Jin played on the grounds that King Cheng was old, and disapproved of Emperor Xingwen's move, and issued a military order in front of the courtiers.

It's hard to get over the water, even if he loves this son more, Emperor Xingwen saw that he signed the military order, it was impossible to take it as a joke, so he had no choice but to agree.When Empress Chu heard about this, she almost fainted on the spot.

Being able to become Emperor Xingwen's most trusted pillow, Empress Chu understood that the matter was a foregone conclusion, and no matter how much she opposed it, it would be useless.Why don't you encourage your son well and ask for credit in front of His Majesty.

Mu Yunshen practiced martial arts since he was a child, and followed King Cheng to study military strategies. Although he didn't show it on weekdays, Empress Chu understood her son's excellence better than anyone else.He just deliberately disguised himself because he didn't want to attract the attention of others and cover up the prince's light.On the battlefield, Mu Yunshen was the only one who was in charge of the border. It took only half a month to beat Wala and Turks to their knees and beg for mercy. Finally, they honestly signed a peace treaty and retreated to the border.

The battle was victorious, and the third prince and His Royal Highness Prince Jin returned to the court together. Unexpectedly, the two of them did not show up within the expected time. Instead, the army returned to Beijing first.Hearing the vanguard's report, the Third Prince and the King of Jin each led a small group of troops to rush forward in order to surprise His Majesty, and separated from the main force early.

Who would have thought that of the two princes who have not returned for a long time, now only the third prince and his own hidden guards have returned alone, but His Royal Highness King Jin still has no news.
"This silly boy, he wants to relieve His Majesty's worries, he wants to secure the crown prince's position for you, and he also wants King Cheng to heal his wounds with peace of mind, so he would rather go to the battlefield himself. God bless, my little Qi must not have any accidents. !"

Empress Chu's words made Mu Yunbin's eyes flash, and the hands hidden in his sleeves were clenched unconsciously.

"My queen, I know that Xiao Qi is always so kind and has sacrificed a lot for my brother. I also believe that Xiao Qi is a man of great fortune, and he will be able to get through no matter how big the danger is."

"Hey, I hope so." Empress Chu didn't notice the expression on the prince's face, she always felt that her heart was in turmoil, and the uneasy look on her face did not relax at all because of the prince's persuasion.

"No, I have to go to the Buddhist hall to pray for Xiaoqi, and ask God to bless Xiaoqi. Prince, you should go back first. If there is any news, please send someone to inform the queen mother immediately, you understand?"

"Yes, Erchen retire."

Mu Yunbin spoke respectfully, turned and left.

Three days later, the third prince, Mu Yuntian, finally woke up. Upon hearing the news, Emperor Xingwen and Empress Chu rushed over almost immediately.

"Third brother, what happened? Why are you seriously injured? What about Little Seven? Why didn't you come back with you?"

Emperor Xingwen's tone was hurried, although there was no look of reproach, but these words had a different meaning in the ears of others.The expression on the face of the third prince's biological mother, Concubine Yang Guifei, changed slightly. The seventh prince led troops to rescue, and led the team back to the capital with the third prince, but there was no news from the seventh prince.Anyone with eyes in the palace knows that Concubine Yang and the empress do not get along. Naturally, the third prince and the seventh prince do not have so much brotherly affection.

"Father, Empress, Erchen and Seventh Brother originally planned to give you a surprise, so they set off early with a team of private soldiers. When they were about to arrive at Xiang'an City, Seventh Brother's bodyguard proposed to approach from the mountain. Road, in order to return to the capital as soon as possible, we agreed. Unexpectedly, when we camped in the mountains at night, an avalanche occurred, and almost all of our private soldiers were buried in it.

When we managed to climb out of the snow, a group of assassins appeared in the middle of the night.Brother Seventh Emperor and I were separated during our escape, and I was hacked by an assassin. Fortunately, I was escorted by the dark guards to return to the capital.Brother Seventh Emperor, hasn't he come back yet?Father, you should send someone to look for it quickly, my son deserves to die, why did you wake up now! "

"You mean, you left your imperial brother and came back alone?" Empress Chu staggered a bit, feeling that her heart was tightly grasped by a pair of invisible big hands, and she could hardly breathe.

"I didn't do it intentionally. I just got separated from the Seventh Brother. I was seriously injured and fell into a coma. I really don't know where the Seventh Brother is. The dark guard was worried about the safety of my son, so I didn't go looking for it." Brother Seventh Emperor. No matter what happens, it is indeed my son's fault, and I ask the empress to punish me!"

Mu Yuntian's handsome and domineering face was full of regret and self-blame, and he couldn't help shouting excitedly, but it touched the wound and let out a painful muffled groan.The already pale cheeks looked even paler now.

"Tian'er! Are you alright, Tian'er!" Concubine Yang Guifei hugged him distressedly, looked at Emperor Xingwen and Empress Chu, and said pleadingly, "The imperial doctor said that Tian'er had just recovered from a serious illness, so don't let your thoughts wander, Your Majesty, Tian'er He also made it very clear that it was King Jin's guards who proposed to take a shortcut, but they encountered Xue Beng and assassins. Please also send someone to rescue immediately, maybe you can get King Jin back!"

"Assassin, why is it an assassin again! Third child, do you know who those assassins are?"

Emperor Xingwen slapped the table fiercely, his expression was furious, who on earth had the guts to assassinate members of the royal family over and over again!

"I don't know too well, just looking at their weapons and techniques, they don't look like people from the Great Zhou Dynasty. By the way, the weapon that cut my son looks like a bayonet used by the Wala people! I’ve seen it on the battlefield, could it be that the Oirats are secretly seeking revenge?”

"Impossible! Wala has already been defeated. How dare you send someone to sneak into our Great Zhou Dynasty to assassinate the prince? Aren't they afraid of the anger of our Great Zhou Dynasty, and then directly razed Wala to the ground? Someone must have planned secretly. Use the Oirat bayonet to confuse the world's attention!"

Empress Chu refuted sharply, feeling more and more uneasy in her heart. Last time it was King Cheng, and this time it was her Xiaoqi's turn again. She didn't think it was a coincidence, it was obvious that someone was secretly targeting the prince's lineage.
