The Favoured Medical Princess: 232 On Crossbow

www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Sheng Chong's Daughter-in-law: The Medical Concubine!

Guan Yubai's understatement made Han Lingfu's face darken, and he almost fell out. Finally, he remembered his always gentle and jade-like image and held back.

Even the emperor's face darkened, his eyes dark and unpredictable.

The surrounding civil and military ministers were all silent. Some ministers were shaking their heads secretly, not knowing whether it was with emotion or admiration: Everyone knew that the emperor was very excited because of this new crossbow. If ordinary people didn't do it, they would just try to coax the emperor while the iron was hot. I'm happy, maybe I can get a little favor from this, this An Yihou is really different.

There were also people with sarcasm flashing in their eyes, thinking: Guan Yubai's style, if it sounds good, means he is upright; if it sounds bad, he means he has a dull head and does not know how to behave. It is no wonder that the official family ended up like this...

Probably only the eldest prince and the second prince were happy, but they didn't dare to show it too obviously.

"Marquis An Yi, tell me in detail." The emperor said solemnly.

"Back to your Majesty," Guan Yubai replied unhurriedly, "Your Majesty, although this crossbow can fire twelve arrows at a time, there is an issue with these twelve arrows that cannot be ignored, which is its accuracy. ." After a pause, he explained, "Just now Caichen and Wei Yanghou each fired twelve arrows, but less than half of them hit the target each time."

When I tried the crossbow before, the twelve iron arrows flew out "swishingly", almost impossible to catch with the naked eye. In the end, I only noticed that several iron arrows were inserted into the target, but I never counted the target in detail. How many shots were fired?

When Guan Yubai said this, everyone counted carefully and found that it was indeed the case.

The emperor was thoughtful and did not express his position immediately.

Han Lingfu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He thought Guan Yubai was going to say something. If this was the problem, he and Cui Wei would have discovered it long ago. He smiled sarcastically in his heart. The "stuff" that Guan Yubai was talking about just now was clearly just sensationalism. At this moment, it seemed that this young general who was once said to be so amazing was nothing more than that.

"Father," Han Lingfu walked up the first half of the walk, "please listen to my words."

Seeing that he was confident, the ministers knew that there might be something good going on today.

"Third Emperor, please tell me." The emperor naturally agreed.

Han Lingfu raised his head and chest, and said: "Father, in fact, I also discovered the problem of accuracy. In addition, I also discovered that these twelve arrows were fired in succession, and the intervals between each arrow were also somewhat uneven. , sometimes fast and sometimes slow..."

Han Lingfu looked at Guan Yubai calmly, his eyes seemed to say, he might as well tell you all the shortcomings of this crossbow and see what other thorns you can pick!

Guan Yubai looked back calmly, with a faint smile still on his lips, not surprised at all by Han Lingfu's provocation.

Han Lingfu couldn't help but feel depressed for a while, but he continued: "Father, from what I've seen, these flaws seem to be problems, but in fact they are not problems," he said confidently, " Today, if it were one-on-one between Erchen and An Yihou, or several people against several people, then the issue just mentioned would also become the key to victory or defeat. But now this crossbow is given to everyone on the battlefield, allowing several people to fight against each other. Thousands, or even tens of thousands of people use it. When tens of thousands of arrows are fired together, who can escape the arrow feathers that fill the sky?"

Hearing this, Wei Yanghou also nodded, "Your Majesty, I believe that what the Third Prince said is true. Intensive tactics can indeed cover up the problem of insufficient accuracy of bows and crossbows."

The emperor pondered for a moment, and then asked Guan Yubai calmly, "Marquis An Yi, apart from this, is there anything wrong with this crossbow?"

Guan Yu Baiyun replied calmly: "The problem of accuracy is one, and the other involves military supplies. This crossbow uses iron arrows as arrows and is expensive to make. Even if the cost is not considered, it still needs A large amount of iron ore is used as backup support. If you want to fire tens of thousands of iron arrows at once, you will need to prepare hundreds of thousands or even millions of iron arrows. It is probably difficult to ration such a large amount."

This conventional feather arrow uses iron as the arrowhead and wood as the arrow body, so the cost is naturally much cheaper than a pure iron arrow.

The ministers whispered to each other and felt that what Guan Yu said was very reasonable. According to Han Lingfu's plan, this was not a war with Chang Di, but a waste of money!

No one expected that Han Lingfu would still look calm and composed as usual.

The corners of Han Lingfu's mouth curled up slightly. These problems mentioned by Guan Yubai had been expected by them. He glanced at Guan Yubai with a half-smile, and then said: "Father, the mass production of these iron arrows is indeed valuable." It’s not cheap, so I am willing to hand over the 200,000 taels of silver that my father allocated to me to open my mansion to the court to use as military resources, so that I can help me to defeat Changdi in a great way!”

As for the iron ore, Guan Yubai may not know about it, but Han Lingfu knows that Dayu is not short of iron ore now. Just a month ago, two new iron ore mines were discovered in Jingzhou, and this iron ore Mines and other mineral rights must be nationalized, which means that the emperor has two more minerals for nothing.

Although this iron arrow does cost two taels of silver, Dayu can still afford it to deal with a mere Chang Di.

Han Lingfu's impassioned words attracted the approval of many ministers. The third prince is really serving the country and the people. Even if he has not yet been crowned king and has no settlement, he will not hesitate to spend his own money to open the palace!

The mood of the eldest prince and the second prince almost rose and fell with the conversation between Guan Yubai and Han Lingfu. At this moment, their faces were so gloomy that they could almost drip with water. The third prince gave out two hundred thousand taels of silver to serve the country and his father. If they don't do something, wouldn't it mean that they have no country and no father in their hearts?

Even if they now offer to provide silver for military pay, it is just a passive response. I am afraid that the father will not remember their kindness, which means that the filial son has been left to the third prince.

The emperor nodded slightly with satisfaction and said with a big smile: "Okay! Third Emperor, you are serious." Then he praised Guan Yubai again, "Marquis An Yi is also thoughtful!" This is the most feared thing in marching. It's because military supplies are insufficient.

Han Lingfu was secretly happy in his heart and said sincerely: "This is what I should do." Then he asked Guan Yubai with a smile, his tone was gentle but his eyes could not hide the provocative meaning, "An Yihou, I don't know what you are doing. Is there a third one?"

The gunpowder in his words cannot be hidden from smart people, but no one expected that Guan Yubai actually nodded and said gently: "There are indeed three."

Han Lingfu's face almost froze, but he could only say: "Please give me some advice from Marquis An Yi!"

Guan Yubai gestured with his fingers and said slowly: "Your Majesty, please give me some time to burn the incense."

After the emperor responded, a servant went to prepare to light incense.

Then, Guan Yubai said: "Please ask the emperor to arrange for a guard from the Royal Forest Army to test this crossbow with a limit of one stick of incense."

What kind of medicine is sold in Guanyu White Gourd? Han Lingfu felt a little uneasy in his heart. He winked and a minister immediately jumped out and said, "Marquis An Yi, why are you pretending to be mysterious in front of the Emperor?"

Guan Yubai said unmoved: "Your Majesty, whether this is a conspiracy or not, I only need to give you a stick of incense to find out."

The emperor looked at Guan Yubai deeply for a moment and said, "Okay, I will believe you for once."

Everyone stared at Guan Yubai, wondering what the purpose of this stick of incense was.

Soon, a guard from the Royal Forest Army came forward to obey the order, and then he heard Guan Yubai calmly instructing him to shoot arrows with the crossbow repeatedly until he burned a stick of incense.

That's it! ?

Not only the imperial guard couldn't believe his ears, but other people around him were also shocked and looked at each other.

The Royal Forest Army guard confirmed with Guan Yubai again, and then took the order to test fire.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh..."

The iron arrows were shot out again and again, each arrow was as fast as lightning. It might have been a bit fresh at first, but soon everyone became tired of watching this monotonous and almost boring scene.

Eunuch Liu suggested softly in the emperor's ear: "Your Majesty, why not go to the palace and wait?"

The emperor's brows moved and he was still hesitating when he saw Wei Yanghou cupping his hands and saying: "Please give me your permission to inspect this place!"

The emperor glanced at the incense, which was less than a third of the time, and nodded.

Since the emperor entered the Hall of Supreme Harmony, other people naturally entered the hall in a grand manner, including Guan Yubai.

Seeing that Guan Yubai had no intention of staying outside the hall to wait for the results of the crossbow test, Han Lingfu had no choice but to follow everyone into the Hall of Supreme Harmony, although he was a little uneasy.

According to the procedure of the birthday banquet, the fifth prince, sixth prince and other clan members continued to present birthday gifts to the emperor. However, the emperor was obviously absent-minded at the moment and spoke in a calm tone. It seemed that he did not care about the gifts at all.

Not only the emperor, but everyone was also thinking about what happened just now and wondering what Guan Yubai was playing. So in the following time, I saw eyes shooting towards Guan Yubai from time to time, but instead It was Guan Yubai, who was actually the calmest and calmest among them. As if the matter had nothing to do with him, he behaved elegantly while sipping fine wine and eating delicacies.

Guan Yubai was so calm, Han Lingfu naturally couldn't lose to him. He tried his best to talk and laugh, but he kept thinking that the time should be close... He glanced outside the hall several times without leaving any trace.

At this time, there was a burst of slightly messy footsteps from the direction of the entrance of the palace. Wei Yanghou strode into the palace, attracting all the attention at once. His brows were slightly frowned and his lips were pressed into a tight line. Straight line, while walking, he glanced at Guan Yubai. That look was really indescribably complicated, but it made Han Lingfu's heart sink.

Could it be that...

Han Lingfu almost didn't dare to think about it and said to himself, it's impossible! He and Cui Wei should have considered all the issues.

"Your Majesty," Wei Yanghou bowed and reported, "that crossbow fell apart!" If he hadn't seen this with his own eyes at the scene, even he wouldn't have believed it, that the crossbow had fallen apart!

This sentence shocked the whole room, and they looked at each other in silence.

Han Lingfu stood up awkwardly and blurted out: "How is this possible?!"

Marquis Weiyang's expression changed slightly, and he was unhappy with the third prince's questioning of him. Since he had the imperial mandate to supervise the crossbow testing, he naturally did not dare to slack off at all. From the beginning to the end, his eyes never left. Even now, he still hasn't figured out what is going on.

At this time, the imperial guard who had just tried the crossbow also hurried in, holding a large wooden tray in his hand. The crossbow presented by Han Lingfu was placed on the tray, but at this moment it had the crossbow arm, crossbow bow and crossbow machine. It had scattered, and there was a deep red mark on the guard's face, which seemed to have been hit by the broken parts.

Han Lingfu's hands clenched into fists at his sides, trembling slightly, and a thought gripped his heart: Impossible! Impossible...

He couldn't help but look over at Guan Yubai, and saw the corner of Guan Yubai's mouth slightly raised as he drank the wine in the glass, as if all this was expected by him. Han Lingfu was shocked and confused. Did Guan Yubai really have the ability to foresee, or was he so bold that he dared to do anything under his father's nose?

At this time, the chamberlain had already presented the tray to the emperor. After taking a closer look, the emperor's face darkened and asked, "Marquis Weiyang, what on earth is going on?"

Wei Yanghou hurriedly replied: "Back to the emperor, I am also puzzled. Just when the incense stick was about to burn out, the crossbow suddenly dispersed..." As he said that, he couldn't help but look at it again. Liao Guanyu rolled his eyes and said, "Maybe An Yihou can help me solve my doubts." This An Yihou is really scary! He had originally heard rumors about his "exhaustive strategy", but he just laughed it off as rumors. He never expected that the rumors were far worse than the real thing!

The emperor's gaze also turned to Guan Yubai, and asked with a careful look: "Marquis An Yi, did you know that this would be like this?"

This question is probably the common question in the minds of everyone in the palace.

Guan Yubai stood up and replied calmly: "Back to the emperor, I am a mortal, so naturally I have no ability to predict. But based on my experience, the design of this crossbow arm and crossbow bow is really sloppy. .Although it can barely fire twelve arrows, the structure of the crossbow body is unstable, so that every time it is fired, it will receive an impact. When Fang Caichen was doing the test firing, he had vaguely felt that the crossbow body was too stressed and the crossbow arm was The shaking is severe, I'm afraid it won't last long..." He raised the corners of his lips slightly and said calmly, "Although this crossbow is difficult to use on the battlefield, it is indeed somewhat interesting to make, so you can play with it when you have nothing to do."

The emperor was originally full of enthusiasm because of this crossbow. He thought about equipping Dayu's army with this kind of crossbow. He thought that this time he could defeat Changdi with this crossbow, and even used this new type of crossbow. The weapons acted as a deterrent to the barbarians from all directions.

So when Guan Yubai mentioned that this crossbow was expensive, the emperor didn't take it seriously. The advantage of being expensive was that even if the barbarians got the crossbow and tried to imitate it, they would not be able to equip their soldiers in large quantities.

But I don’t think that this is just a sweet dream of a stick of incense!

If Guan Yubai had not discovered this fatal flaw, once a large amount of military funds were spent to make the crossbow and send it to the battlefield, fighting would start here, and the crossbows in the hands of the soldiers over there would be scattered all over the place. This has simply become a big joke!

As the saying goes, "The higher you climb, the harder you fall." While the emperor felt cold, his eyes turned cold when he looked at Han Lingfu. He felt that this third emperor was too unreliable in his work. At his birthday party, everyone was laughing at him!

"Father..." Han Lingfu knew that this time he might really plummet in the emperor's heart, and his heart was as cold as ice, but he could only force himself to calm down and said, "This crossbow has just been developed and there are still some problems, but My father has also seen its power, and I believe that as long as it is improved a little more, it will be possible..."

"Then let's wait until you improve!" The emperor interrupted Han Lingfu coldly.

Han Lingfu was hesitant to speak, and in the end he could only sit down dejectedly, secretly hating in his heart: Cui Wei was so unreliable in his work that he made such a big mistake, causing him to be exposed in front of so many people. Shame on you!

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, even Cui Yanyan, the future third prince's concubine, became a little angry.

The eldest prince and the second prince on the side secretly exchanged glances, both gloating about the misfortune.

Another thought came to the mind of the second prince: Even though Guan Yubai is now weak and can no longer go to the battlefield, he is indeed a talented person. This time, Guan Yubai has obviously offended the Third Emperor's brother. Isn't this a great opportunity for me to win over him? Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Guan Yubai with warm eyes.

The birthday banquet continues, but this time, the original joyful atmosphere is even less likely to be restored.

The emperor lost his interest, and he has been a little disinterested ever since. About half an hour later, the birthday banquet in the Hall of Supreme Harmony broke up.

But this day is not over yet. The birthday banquet for the ministers has been concluded. The next birthday banquet in the harem is just about to begin. The second one can be said to be a family banquet. Only a few of the emperor's close ministers and some Only relatives of the emperor and concubines and princesses in the harem can participate.

So after the birthday banquet in the Hall of Supreme Harmony was over, the Su family left the palace and returned to Nangong Mansion, leaving only Nangong Yue who was left by the queen to attend the subsequent family banquet.

Several maids led the way, and a group of ladies and girls gathered together in twos and threes and walked forward slowly.

Fu Yunyan came over to Nangong Yue with a smile: "Ah Yue, let's sit at a table later."

Seeing that she was alone, Nangong Yue looked around and asked, "Liu Niang, where is Grandma Yongyang?"

"My grandmother said she was tired and went back home first." Fu Yunyan said this first. Seeing Nangong Yue's face showing concern, he lowered his voice and said in Nangong Yue's ear, "Grandma wants to talk to An Yihou, so she just excuses herself I’m tired and I’ll leave first.”

Nangong Yue was startled, then heard Fu Yunyan sigh and say again: "Ah Yue, the person I admired most in the past was the junior general. At such a young age, he could fight on the battlefield and make countless achievements!" She seemed to have thought of this. What? His little face darkened, and then he smiled again, "I once felt sorry for him... Looking at it today, he doesn't need my pity!"

Guan Yubai is still the same Guan Yubai. Even if his family is destroyed, he is still like a cluster of green bamboos in the snow, no one can crush him! This person is really too enigmatic, as if he was born to stand at a high place and be out of reach...

As they spoke, they had been led to the big stage. The stage had already been decorated with lights and colorful lights. It looked bright and colorful. The theater troupe was standing by.

In front of the stage, there are sets of tables and chairs neatly placed, but most of the seats are still empty.

The palace maid who led the way said that the birthday banquet would not start until half an hour later.

Fu Yunyan was about to suggest that he go somewhere else for a walk when he heard a familiar scolding coming from behind: "Slap my face!"

Then she heard a crisp slap sound. Nangong Yue frowned and followed the sound, only to see a slender figure covered with a veil, it was the second princess.

Beside her stood a girl of fourteen or fifteen years old, with beautiful appearance and gentle and submissive eyes. She was wearing an emerald green dress with a vivid pair of flying swallows embroidered on the hem. Only a small pool of light at the moment Tea stains stained her skirt.

A palace maid knelt down and begged for mercy: "This slave deserves to die, please forgive me for Your Highness and Miss Cui!"

"Your Highness, forget it." The girl in green clothes advised in a gentle voice. She looked dignified and graceful. "Today is the holy birthday. It would be bad if we alarm the emperor." After a pause, she sighed again. , "This dress was given by Concubine Zhang. I just hope that Concubine Zhang will not blame me."

The second princess snorted coldly, rolled up her sleeves and said: "Since Miss Cui is interceding for you, I will leave you, a blind slave like you!"

This girl should be... Nangong Yue thought of something and her eyes flashed.

Fu Yunyan said in her ear: "That is General Cui's Miss Cui." She was also the future third prince's concubine.

It turns out that this Miss Cui has nothing to do with Nangong Yue, but Nangong Yue has an uneasy cousin who wants to enter the third prince's house as a concubine. Logically speaking, this concubine's relatives are not serious relatives, which means that if Nangong Yue went to the Third Prince's Mansion to visit her cousin. Even if someone was neglecting her, it was understandable.

Nangong Yue saw Fu Yunyan's thoughts, but smiled and didn't care. Others may not know it, but she knows that this Miss Cui is kind-hearted and cruel. She was protected by Mrs. Cui when she was in the boudoir, so there was no leakage. However, after this Miss Cui got married in her previous life, her husband's back house was exposed. A lot of sensational things have happened... It seems that today it is indeed better to meet each other than to be famous. This Miss Cui is quite good at leveraging her strength and letting others play the bad role. I don’t know who the future third prince’s concubine will face in the future. Who is better, Bai Muxiao?

Nangong Yue was just thinking about whether to avoid it when the sharp eyes of the second princess were already shot over. She smiled half-heartedly and said, "Isn't this Princess Yaoguang?" Her malicious eyes seemed to say, even if So what if the Queen in Fengluan Palace helped you before? Is it possible that you can still hide for the rest of your life?

Since they were all provoked face to face, Nangong Yue simply walked over with Fu Yunyan openly and saluted: "I have met Her Highness the Second Princess."

Cui Yanyan also saluted Nangong Yue: "I have met the princess."

After the three people saw the ceremony, the second princess stared at Nangong Yue and said: "Princess, this person's situation is really interesting! This time, Miss Cui will bow her head to the princess, but the next time, it will be It’s going to be the other way around! Life is really ever-changing, and the pride you feel at this moment cannot represent your whole life, don’t you think so, Princess?”

The second princess is right. Now that Cui Yanyan has no rank or class, she needs to be blessed when she sees Nangong Yue, the princess. But when Cui Yanyan marries the third prince and becomes the legitimate third prince's concubine, then Nangong Yue will It’s time to salute Cui Yanyan.

The second princess smiled sarcastically, meaning that Nan Gongyue was really ignorant. Originally, I had good intentions to promote her to be the third prince's concubine, but she just didn't know what to do and wanted her Ayi!

Nangong Yue nodded indifferently and said: "Your Highness is right, the pride you feel at this moment cannot represent your whole life." In his previous life, hadn't he already fully proved this point?

Seeing that Nangong Yue didn't care, the second princess felt a little bored. Thinking of another thing Zhang Fei told her, she thought bitterly: Although my father hasn't made up his mind yet... I'm afraid he will in the future. When Nangong Yue cried! Just watch the show yourself!

Cui Yanyan smiled reservedly and suddenly asked: "Does the princess have a cousin named Bai?"

Fu Yunyan frowned, and at this moment, a servant's voice came from not far away: "The Emperor has arrived! The Queen Mother and the Empress have arrived!"

Everyone had a serious look on their face and hurriedly bowed their knees and saluted.

The emperor smiled and asked them to get up and take their seats. Fu Yunyan pulled Nangong Yue to the seat in the corner, and whispered to Nangong Yue: "Ah Yue, this Miss Cui doesn't seem to be as good-tempered as rumored. From now on, you Just be careful."

Liu Niang is quite perceptive. Nangong Yue looked at her with a smile and said, "It's okay. If I can't offend you, why can't I hide away?"

The two little girls looked at each other and smiled, and everyone took their seats.

The emperor, the queen, and the queen mother sat at the middle table, Concubine Zhang, Concubine Liu and other high-ranking concubines sat at the same table, and several princesses sat at the same table... After a while, the seats were full.

The emperor quickly ordered a play, and the stage began to sing lively, with noisy gongs and drums, and several actors with heavy makeup appeared on the stage.

The atmosphere suddenly became lively. When the exciting part came, everyone in the audience applauded with thunderous applause. The emperor even burst into laughter from time to time, which made others relax.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. Only during the second song, a young chamberlain suddenly ran over out of breath and knelt down in front of the emperor with a plop.

"See...see the emperor!" The young chamberlain respectfully presented a coupon, "There is an urgent coupon for three thousand miles!"

Three thousand miles to rush? ! That must be a big event that will shock the imperial court!

Could it be related to Chang Di again?

Most of the people present were so suspicious that they all fell silent and looked up at the emperor.

Nanny Gui next to the Queen winked at the stage, and the actors immediately stopped in a sensible manner, and the surroundings became silent.

Eunuch Liu took the fold from the little chamberlain and handed it to the emperor. As soon as he opened the fold and read a line of words, his expression suddenly changed... By the time he finished reading and closed the fold, his face was already dark. As if a dark cloud was looming over him, he stood up suddenly and strode away.

Eunuch Liu hurriedly followed him, but he did not dare to say a word.

Everyone looked at each other in confusion. Judging from the emperor's face, that was definitely not a good thing. Could it be said that the Northern Army was really defeated?

The protagonists of this birthday banquet were all gone, so the queen naturally had no intention of continuing, so she left in a hurry.

When Nangong Yue returned to the house, the sunset had already dyed the western sky red.

Nangong Yue went to pay her respects to Su. When Su saw her, she couldn't hide her surprise, "Sister Yue, why are you back so soon?" Logically speaking, the emperor's family banquet must be over at least late. The meal can be dispersed only after the meal.

Before Nangong Yue had time to explain, a little maid hurriedly came to announce that the imperial edict had arrived!

The reception of the order was naturally a priority. Mrs. Su immediately rushed to the second gate with Nangong Yue. When they arrived, Ms. Lin, Nangong Xin and others from several other houses also arrived.

Eunuch Liu and Nangong Yue were already very familiar with each other. When the incense table was placed, he smiled and said, "Princess, now that everyone is here, our family is ready to announce the decree."

"Thank you, Eunuch Liu."

Everyone in Nangong Mansion knelt down to receive the order.

Eunuch Liu chanted the imperial edict in a protracted voice: "By God's blessing, the emperor decreed..."

His sharp voice almost resounded through the entire Nangong Mansion, but everyone was confused when they heard the decree. The emperor actually wanted Nangong Yue and Xiao Yi to get married in ten days, and wait until after the wedding to consummate the marriage...

What the **** is going on? ! Nangong Yue just went to the palace to attend a birthday banquet, but the emperor inexplicably advanced her marriage to Xiao Yi by two years. Moreover, it is only right for a woman to get married when she has a hairpin, and Nangong Yue has just turned 13!

Everyone sent Eunuch Liu off in confusion, and unanimously turned their attention to Nangong Yue.

"Sister Yue..." Ms. Lin was filled with reluctance. She had just started preparing a dowry for her daughter. Why was her daughter about to get married? There are still so many things that are not ready! She is such a daughter, so willing to get married in such a hurry! Mrs. Lin couldn't help but feel that the emperor's actions were a bit outrageous.

Nangong Lin's eyes flashed and she asked curiously: "Third sister, how come the emperor suddenly decreed that you and the crown prince will get married? It's too urgent at this time. What's going on?" Could it be? There is some shameful reason! ?

Nangong Yue's eyes moved slightly, and she remembered the three thousand miles expedited letter. It seemed that the content in this letter should be related to Southern Xinjiang.

Nangong Yue felt that the imperial edict in her hand was a bit heavy. Since the emperor gave this edict, Xiao Yi must be leaving soon...

Although he had been mentally prepared for it, when the matter finally settled, Nangong Yue still felt as if a huge boulder was weighing on his heart. Xiao Yi's trip to southern Xinjiang can be said to be caused by internal and external troubles and numerous crises, so how could she not be worried.

She couldn't help but look up at the gradually darkening sky. I'm afraid Xiao Yi had also received the imperial edict.

In the Zhennan Palace at this time, Xiao Yizheng was kneeling in the main hall, listening to Eunuch Li read out the imperial edict:

"By the fate of heaven, the emperor decreed that Xiao Yi, the crown prince of Zhennan, and Princess Yaoguang will be married on the eighth day of September. The marriage will be consummated by Princess Yaoguang and the queen. Xiao Yi, the crown prince of Zhennan, will be married on September 10th. As soon as we set off for southern Xinjiang, we will temporarily take over the affairs of southern Xinjiang to fight against the southern barbarian army!"

"I obey the decree!"

Xiao Yi bowed his head and accepted the imperial edict. He looked calm on the surface, but his heart was in turmoil.

The day has finally arrived!
