Chapter 727

Inside the camp of the western Guangdong army, King Yue ordered the rest of the troops to reposition themselves before he leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to rest.


Yu Heng brought in the breakfast and placed it on the table, "Your Highness, please have some food."


For the past few days, the prince had been busy all night, his face expressionless, but there was a sense of urgency about his body, as if something was chasing him from behind, making him wish he could hurry up even faster.


King Yue opened his eyes, which were bloodshot. There were traces of green in his eyes as well. "Did you send any letters over to the wangfei's side?"


"Reporting to Your Highness, I haven't yet." Yue Yang hurriedly ordered. "Yue Yang nodded his head, a trace of undetectable disappointment in his cold eyes. He then pulled over the tray and finished the food in two to three bites:" There is news about the wangfei, we must send it over as soon as possible. Now that the weather was getting colder, the disease in the Northern Frontier had been slowed down with the use of medicinal herbs …


"Untie yourself! Get the soldiers to watch out for any sneak attacks from the north!"


"Yes, Your Highness."


"How is the situation at the imperial government?" The emperor had scolded the prince several times in the imperial court for being unfaithful to his subjects, and had once again dispatched troops over. In half a month, the second batch of people would arrive. The north had also sent a letter to the emperor expressing their willingness to depend on him. The king replied in a happy manner, and already hinted at the north …


"It would be best if we could join forces with the imperial army. The two of us can wipe out our western Guangdong army in one fell swoop."


When Yu Heng mentioned the Northern Frontier, his words were laced with ridicule. He thought that the Northern Frontier would use some sort of method to gain benefits from both sides. Did they not know that these fence-sitters had shallow roots and were the easiest to uproot?


"Send a letter to the Emperor. Tell him to set it up as soon as possible. It's a good time to kill them while the northern border is still recovering."


"Yes." When Yu Heng left, the King took out a scented sachet embroidered with the word "Peace" from his bosom. He caressed it affectionately for a while, before lightly kissing the sachet. His expression gradually softened as he said, "Yao'er, our child has already been with you for almost six months."


In the end, he went back on his word...


Yue Yang remained silent for a while, before carefully placing the scented sachet into his bosom. He then massaged his chest, which was filled with pain from the loss of the sachet, and took a deep breath.


The various generals were constantly entering and exiting the tents. Each order was passed down, changing the atmosphere of the military without leaving a trace.


As night fell, King Fu had just finished dealing with the military matters and was about to rest when Yu Heng suddenly strode in, "Mistress, Miss Xu has arrived."


"Hmm?" Yue Yang didn't react immediately, "Who did you say?"


"Miss Xu Qi Xu, daughter of Xu Fei."


"Xu Qi? If she's not staying in Yanzhou properly, what is she doing here? " King Yue frowned.


"This... "I don't know either. When she was outside the military camp, she was captured by the patrolling soldiers. At first, they thought that she was a spy, but when they asked her about her real identity, they reported it to us."


Yue Yang frowned: "It's an important place in the military camp. No outsiders are allowed to enter. Send a message and have two people send her away."


"Yes, Your Highness." Yu Heng responded and quickly walked out.


Just as he was about to leave, he was stopped by a high-ranking official from the western part of Guangdong Province: "Yu Heng, what does Your Highness say?"


"What do you mean?" "That Miss Xu?" The high-ranking officer winked at him. The western border of Guangdong Province was bitter and cold. Although King Yue had a cold personality over the years, he had always loved and protected the soldiers underground. In private, the high-ranking officers were not too afraid.


With such thoughts in their minds, they pretended to walk in front of the tents casually.


Yu Heng hurriedly glared at her. "Don't spout nonsense. Your highness is the queen of the kingdom, you must protect yourself well. You cannot let your highness hear this. Otherwise, don't cry out when you are punished."


The general chuckled, "Aren't I curious? "Being able to travel all the way from the capital to the west of Guangdong is a rare friendship …" "The Royal Concubine sends you ginger tea every year. Without the ginger tea, who knows how many of your subordinates would have frozen to death. Are you trying to make things right for the Royal Concubine?" Yu Heng snorted. Before Jinlan came, he had agreed to let him have a good look at the prince. If Xu Qi found a loophole, they could go back to brooch it …


Lan was definitely going to be angry. Incredible.


"Ugh …" "I'm just speaking casually. We will always remember the princess' kindness in our hearts."


"Mm, hurry up and tell those people to not join in on the fun. When there's time, we'll train. Prince has ordered for people to send that Miss Xu back."


"Go back? "Go back to where?"


"Where did you come from? Go back to where you came from! Idiot!"


"Oh!"


Yu Heng gave the orders. However, before Xu Qi could say anything, the other party spoke up first, "Yu Heng, I know that your highness does not wish to see me. However, I am here to inform you of an important matter."


Yu Heng's expression did not change, "Miss Xu, the military is of great importance. Moreover, the king and the imperial government are at odds, so you should be clear that your father is an important official in the imperial court. Yet, you are here to see your prince, no matter what it is for, it is of little use to your father and the Xu family."


"I'm not afraid of that. I really have something important to discuss. I must tell the prince face to face. Please tell him about it for me."


"If Miss Xu really has something important to do, you can leave behind a letter. I'll send it over to the prince."


"No, I want to speak to my face. This matter is related to royal concubine Yue! "


Yu Heng frowned as he examined Xu Qi's expression, trying to guess whether what she said was true or not, "Why did you inform me that the wangfei has matters to attend to?"


"Princess was afraid of Prince's worries, so some things didn't send a message. The reason I'm willing to say it out loud is because I want to use it to see the Prince. This is the truth." Xu Qi's expression was sincere.


Yu Heng paused for a moment before instructing the guards at the side, "Take good care of Miss Xu. I'll go ask for Your Highness."


"Yes."


When King Yue heard Yu Heng's report, his expression gradually turned cold. After a long while, he stood up and said, "Lead the way."


"Yes."


Xu Qi was anxiously waiting inside the tent. When he heard the tent flap being opened, he immediately raised his head.


The black dressed Titan King gave off a cold aura, his ice-cold eyes did not contain any warmth, and when his gaze fell on his opponent, it was as if ice was falling on one's face.


Seeing this figure that she had been yearning for day and night, Xu Qi's eyes reddened, and with a whoosh, her tears fell, "Prince …."


King Yue looked at her coldly. "What's the matter, consort?" Xu Qi's lips trembled, he raised his hand to wipe the tears away, and did not waste any more time in provoking King Yue Yang's discontent: "The Royal Concubine was afflicted with a hallucinatory drug, these few months have not been peaceful. Not only has she not been able to eat, her pulse has also gradually weakened, but I am worried that the Duke will find out and affect the cloth over here.


I didn't send anyone to pass the message. "


Yue Huang's heart sank. "The hallucinatory drug, did imperial aunt not investigate it?" Grand Princess Yi De and the Poison Lady had searched the entire palace, but in the end, they couldn't find the source of the hallucinogen … The prince isn't by the side of the wangfei's side. In addition, she hasn't been feeling well since she got pregnant, so she's been feeling very downcast. I don't know how the situation is right now … "
