Seventh Master, Madam didn't go back to the mansion today.

"Miss Song, it's time for half a stick of incense, you should come out." The guard outside knocked on the door and urged.

Song Yitao wiped away tears, and said: "Concubine Zhen, you must persevere, I will find a way to find an imperial doctor to treat your illness! You must persevere, the emperor is waiting for you!!" After finishing speaking, Song Yitao Slowly let go of Concubine Zhen's hand, turned her head three times a step, and walked out of her room with tears in her eyes.

It took too much time to go to Concubine Zhen's place, and when Song Yitao returned to the Queen's Palace, she was in a hurry all the way.A coachman's clothes were too conspicuous in the palace, so Song Yitao simply took the queen's token, dressed in the clothes of a little maid, and found a reason to help the queen out of the palace.

After she left the palace, she carefully looked around and was about to leave secretly, but just after she walked less than 50 meters, she was spotted by the fourth master in the carriage behind her. The fourth master saw that familiar face and felt a little strange.

"Isn't this from Seventh Brother's room? How did she get into the palace? Could it be... She knew that I entered the palace this time to release news?"

"No...this girl, I can't keep it."

The fourth master's eyes were full of vicious schemes, he stared at Song Yitao's receding back for a long time, and then slowly lowered the curtain of the carriage.

In Yaohua Palace, the Empress Dowager, Qing, Princess and the Emperor were talking, when Dechun suddenly came in to report, and whispered something in the Empress Dowager's ear.The empress dowager, who was still amiable just a second ago, suddenly became gloomy and cold, and smashed the teacup in her hand to pieces.

"Hmph!! This Prince Rong, what kind of son did you raise!!" Xi and the Queen Mother lost their temper.

Seeing the empress dowager's tantrum, Qing and the princess seemed to have guessed that it was Qi Yutao, and said anxiously: "What's the matter with that girl, didn't you stop the news?"

She still kept a gentle smile on her face, got up and walked slowly to the Queen Mother, put her hands on the Queen Mother's shoulders and softly comforted her:

"Oh, old ancestor, Qinghe has never seen the old ancestor lose such a big temper, it really frightened the niece and daughter! You calm down and don't get angry! If you make a mistake, all people in the world will be gone People are counting on it!"

"Dechun came to tell the Ai family that Nanyue City was broken by Rong Di and fell. It was Prince Rong who handed over the military power to his youngest son. His youngest son made a mistake in dispatching troops to make a surprise attack by Rong Di!"

Qing and the princess paused for a moment, and then pretended to be naive and said: "I have heard about this too... Now Prince Tao has personally brought soldiers and horses to the rescue, old ancestor, you just give him a general A chance for redemption! Look at the children of these princes and nobles who have personally led troops to fight!"

Seeing that the Empress Dowager's face became more relaxed, but her eyebrows were still frowning, she continued:

"This time, the World Expo will be held soon, and there is still a war in the country, so we must not make it public. This time, on the way to Nanyue City, we must transfer troops from Guangzhou. This Guangzhou general and Tao Shizi are related by marriage. , if you punish Tao Shizi at this time, not only will you hurt the morale of the soldiers on the battlefield, but you will also hurt the face of General Guangzhou. He is the only one in the southwestern region, and it is the empress dowager's heart disease. If he quits at this time What should we do? Then the problem will become serious!"

"Queen Dowager, didn't you originally marry Prince Tao and the General of Guangzhou just to make the General of Guangzhou submit to the Queen Mother?"

Emperor Qizhen saw that the Empress Dowager had lost her temper, so he quickly helped her and said a few words: "Queen Mother, what Qing He said is reasonable, and now there are continuous wars in Nanyue City, and Yu Tao is punished at this time, I'm afraid it will hurt her." The morale of soldiers on the battlefield."

The Empress Dowager Xihe glanced at the emperor, nodded after thinking for a moment, and said, "Well, if the war can be ended, then Prince Rong's youngest son will make up for it."

Qi Yutao and Prince Rong already felt guilty about this battle, so they rushed forward all the way and did not dare to slack off. They arrived at Nanyue City in two days. After setting up camp, the father and son watched the surroundings of Nanyue City from the command tent. Environmental drawings analyze terrain and combat methods.

"Father, I think that although Nanyue City is currently captured, most of their troops have been consumed after several days of fighting. We should attack directly before they recover."

"But our current military strength is not enough. There are 30 troops in Rongdi on the other side, and we have only brought [-] troops here. Unless we send some more troops from Guangzhou, and in the shortest time Gather all the troops inside, otherwise our soldiers will be swallowed by them, and we will be in trouble." Prince Rong frowned, his voice was low, and he was wearing thick armor, showing the air of a general.

"It's not difficult. I'll order someone from Babaili to rush to send a message to General Guangzhou, asking him to send troops over as soon as possible."

After getting Prince Rong's acquiescence, Qi Yutao quickly walked out of the tent.He hastily found his confidantes and assigned tasks, and his subordinates rode fast horses to deliver the message.

At this time, Jiang Cheng, the general of Guangdong, was playing with birds leisurely in the yard of his home. Jiang Cheng's daughter, Jiang Wanzhen, came from behind: "Father, you are here."

Hearing her daughter's voice, Jiang Cheng smiled openly and said, "Zhen'er, what's the matter with you?"

"Mother asked me to ask you, how many dishes are you going to prepare tonight, isn't there a guest at home tonight?"

Jiang Wanzhen has willow eyebrows and apricot eyes, fair skin, smiles without showing teeth, and speaks without lifting her lips.Although born in a family of military generals, her gestures and gestures show the demeanor of a lady, which shows that her mother has spent a lot of effort in nurturing her.

"Oh, there aren't many people, just you, Uncle He and his wife, let your mother warm two pots of good wine and prepare a few dishes. Remember to cook Uncle He his favorite fried pork with dried vegetables. "Looking at his daughter, the general's voice couldn't help but soften.

Just as Jiang Wanzhen was about to turn around and leave, she saw her father's close subordinates rushing to report: "General, Mr. Tao asked someone to send a message quickly, saying that Nanyue City was captured by Rongdi's breakout, and now the general needs 20 reinforcements to go there quickly." It is urgent to help in the Nanyue battlefield!"

Jiang Cheng was calm when he heard that, thinking in his heart: "I also heard about the fall of Nanyue. I planned to wait for the imperial court to send me before sending troops. Who would have thought that Prince Rong would personally lead troops to fight against the enemy? It seems that he didn't want to Let this military power fall into my hands, and the entire southwest region, and this area is not under my jurisdiction, this is a good opportunity to take advantage of."

Jiang Cheng's eyes lit up suddenly, and he smiled triumphantly: "Well, you can reply to the letter and say that it is okay to let me reinforce the troops, but Prince Rong must hand over the military power of Nanyue City to me, and after this battle is over, let me rule. Jurisdiction over the land of Nanyue, in this way, I will occupy more than half of the entire southwest region."

Jiang Wanzhen took a deep breath when she heard these words, and came over to persuade her father: "Father, now Nanyue City has fallen into the hands of the enemy, our land has been trampled on, and how many people are still in dire straits, how can father do it for himself? How about delaying the time for self-interest without sending troops to suppress the enemy?"

Jiang Cheng said in a deep voice: "Zhen'er, this is not your business, you can help your mother prepare the dishes!"

Jiang Wanzhen frowned, and suddenly knelt down in front of Jiang Cheng and begged: "Father, daughter, please, don't disobey Prince Rong's order, send troops to suppress the enemy as soon as possible!"

"Zhen'er!! Come here, take the eldest lady back to the room!" Jiang Cheng was a little annoyed, how could he throw away the fat he got?

Jiang Wanzhen broke free from the hand of the servant next to her, pulled Jiang Cheng's sleeve and cried, "Father, if you do this, then the daughter will have no face to marry the eldest son. Instead of going to her husband's house when the time comes, seeing her father-in-law Thinking of what my father did today, it would be better for my daughter to kill her now, so as not to let father and Prince Rong have any suspicions!"

Jiang Wanzhen made a fuss about committing suicide, Jiang Cheng sighed hard, only sighed that the girl was not allowed to stay: "Wanzhen! What are you doing!! Father, just don't embarrass Prince Rong!! Hey!"

General Jiang Cheng from Guangzhou quickly sent troops to assist Prince Rong, and also brought luggage, chariots and horses.After reuniting with Prince Rong and Qi Yutao, they planned a careful war plan overnight, and in the third watch, the army arrived at the foot of Nanyue City.

Qi Yutao looked up at the bright moon, feeling a little emotional, today is the fifteenth day, but he left in a hurry and didn't say hello to Song Yitao, wondering how this little girl would blame him.

This was his first time on the battlefield. He knew that Taotao liked to stare at the moon for a long time when he was not around. He said silently in his heart: "Taotao, wait for my triumphant return. I will fight for you."
