Chapter 820

Moreover, it was abnormal for Xiaofeng to come over at this time.

Now that the moon is in the middle of the sky, she is going to go back to the side hall to rest after finishing the last batch of pills. Once she leaves, the empress dowager will naturally have to rest

Xiao Feng'er knows their schedule, and won't bother them after dinner.

Today is an exception.

"Did something happen?"

Feng Mohan didn't know that the woman was so sensitive, he stared at her, not knowing how to answer.

To hide, or to tell the truth?

Finally, his eyes fell on the woman's protruding abdomen, Feng Mohan smiled, "It's nothing, but the emperor's uncle is not here. I handle so many government affairs by myself every day, and I can't push it to the cabinet and the Imperial Academy. I'm a bit exhausted."

"I used to try my best to be lazy, but now I'm focusing on government affairs," the woman shook her head, persuading him, "In doing things, pay attention to combining work and rest, don't push yourself too hard."

"Understood, Aunt Huang."

Seeing that the woman started to clean up the medicinal materials scattered on the table, she was about to go back to the side hall to rest, Feng Mohan helped her together.

On the soft couch over there, the Empress Dowager was still leaning on the couch and reading scriptures, under the bright candlelight, her face was indifferent.

Now it is rare to hear her knocking on the wooden fish again, but she would turn out the scriptures and read them in her spare time on weekdays.

In terms of diet, they are mostly vegetarian.

She doesn't seem to be obsessed with worshiping the Buddha anymore.

"Queen Mother, it's getting late, don't read anymore, go to rest earlier, reading in this kind of light for a long time is not good for your eyes." When the woman came to say goodbye to her, she talked too much.

The empress dowager hummed without raising her eyelids.

"Old mother, after we leave, don't let the mother read anymore, and help her go to bed earlier."

"The servant knows."

When the woman turned to leave, the Empress Dowager looked up at her back.

At the age of nineteen or twenty, she was in charge of everything, and she was in charge.

Then he looked at Feng Mohan, although the young man pretended to be nonchalant, but the seriousness of his brows could not be concealed from her eyes occasionally when he lowered his eyes.

Something big must have happened, otherwise Feng Mohan wouldn't be so emotionally exposed.

It should have something to do with Qin Xiao to make Feng Mohan like this.

He is now leading the army, and he has already traveled half the distance.

"Queen Mother, don't read any more, it's time to rest." The old mother reminded her.

After closing the scriptures and putting them away, the Empress Dowager said calmly, "You helped Princess Nanling take care of the Ai family? The Ai family is your master."

"I don't dare, it's just that the Empress Dowager needs to take good care of her body." The old mother hurriedly confessed.

In recent years, the empress dowager closed the door of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and she was sad and sad every day, with great grief and grief, which had already hurt the foundation of her body.

In the past, when the concubine did not live in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the Empress Dowager often coughed at night and could not sleep well. It is only recently that the situation has improved slightly.

The empress dowager herself knew her situation, so she walked into the inner room without saying anything.

Looking out through the inner room window, the moonlight is thick.

The same moonlight, hitting the surface of the canal, reflected sparkling light.

At first glance, the river seems to be full of broken stars falling into the sky.

The army crossed the river, and the ships joined the dragons one by one on the canal.

Ride the wind and waves.

With the head of a long dragon, Qin Xiao is wearing a silver battle armor, with his hands behind his back, and his gaze falls at the end of the night in the distance.

The boat on the river has been sailing for nearly 20 days, and the army will reach Yigu City in about 10 days.

The young emperor was anxious and worried, and ordered him to dispatch 200,000 troops to Yigu City to frighten the Eastern Yue Emperor.

Thinking of playing chess with the emperor that night, the emperor set up an ambush for him in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Qin Xiao's eyes darkened.

"Ignorant child."

He, Qin Xiao, has fought on the battlefield for decades, made numerous military exploits, and experienced countless storms, how could he be frightened by a child.

Even the difference between the monarch and his ministers has long been ignored by him.

For things he is unwilling to do, even if he puts a knife on his neck, he will never bow his head.

Bo Yun in the court is treacherous, and every step is a scheming one.

Who has plotted whom, no one can guess until the end.

"General, there is a ten-mile slope on the northern outskirts of Yigu City. There is a grassland with a radius of a hundred miles, which is suitable for camping..." The subordinate came to report.

"Okay, let's set up camp on Shilipo." Qin Xiaodan said, "Go ahead and order the third deputy from the left, center and right wing to come to my cabin. I will have something to explain."

"yes!"

In Yigu City, Feng Qingbai and Dongyue Emperor have had three interviews, but they all broke up unhappy.

Cheng Sheng saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart. These days, he couldn't care less about putting on an effort, so he pestered Feng Qingbai, "My lord, the two sides have already interviewed three times, and the Dongyue Emperor has always been hesitant and can't come up with a charter." , The East Vietnamese army has been stationed outside the border, posing a great threat to our Nanling. If the negotiation fails, it is better to go to war directly and show our country's prestige!"

"General Cheng is sure he can win the battle?" Feng Qingbai asked.

"This...although I dare not say it is 100% sure, but as long as we can wait for the reinforcements from the court to move, and the food and grass can be guaranteed, he will not even want to break through my border city!"

Feng Qingbai looked up at the moonlight, his expression blurred and thoughtful, "Tomorrow will be the last interview, if this king still can't convince Dongyue Emperor, then we will make a decision at that time."

After dismissing Cheng Sheng, Feng Qingbai did not go back to his room, but sat in the courtyard of the yamen, looking at the moonlight.

During these days, I had three interviews with Dongyue. Although the Emperor Dongyue showed signs of wavering, he never let go and retreated.

Talk to him time and time again.

Tapping his fingers on his knees, he reorganized the things during this period, and after thinking about it carefully, Feng Qingbai's eyes lightened.

He didn't let go, and used the interview as an excuse to make him unable to leave Yigu City. Dongyue Emperor was dragging him.

Then behind the scenes, there must be something big going on.

—Leave quickly.

Xue Honglian's reminder rang in her ears again that day, she curled her lips, and Feng Qingbai smiled faintly.

It seems that someone united with the Emperor Dongyue and wanted to keep him in Yigu City forever.

The two countries are at war, and the envoys will not be beheaded.

He was able to retreat unscathed the first three times, and tomorrow will be the fourth time. Can the Dongyue Emperor still abide by that rule.

I'm afraid not necessarily.

"Master, are you really going tomorrow?" Wei Zi appeared.

"Go, why don't you go? If you don't go, people will laugh at you as idiots." This interview was a post from the Emperor of Dongyue, and the place was at the border palace of Dongyue.

"Master, the Dongyue Emperor is a man of reflexes, insidious and cunning, and he is definitely not an upright person. His subordinates are worried that tomorrow will be a grand banquet."

"Even if it's a Hongmen Banquet, I have to go and see for myself, right?" Otherwise, how can we find out the black hand behind it.

Knowing that he has no way to convince the master, Wei Zi raised his eyebrows, "Tomorrow, my subordinates will accompany the master, and I will definitely not leave the master's side!"

"No, you can't go tomorrow. If you go, no matter what means they use, I won't be able to find helpers when I want to run away. You are outside the palace, waiting to meet me."

Wei Zi was speechless, he didn't understand how the master could behave so calmly at such a time.
