A fast horse came in a hurry, the soldier drew a long tune, and stopped in front of Xuanyuan Chengtian with a horse's neigh. The soldier turned over and dismounted: "Report to the emperor! General Ji Jingren rebels!"
Everyone was silent for a long time, and there was no sound.
"Are you sure?" After a moment, Qingcheng, who had reacted, stretched out his hand to lead the soldier kneeling on the ground, looked at him questioningly, and asked loudly: She didn't believe that Jingren would rebel, and as the last son of the late emperor's important minister, he had no reason to go.
rebellion.
"Back to the imperial concubine, it's absolutely true! General Ji has led the troops stationed in the capital to attack the imperial capital, and the people in the city have fallen into panic!"
This absolutely true affirmation broke the slight illusion of rejection in Qingcheng's heart.
Xuanyuan Chengtian turned his head and looked at Qingcheng with a wry smile, his eyes seeming to say: Look! This is the man you saved from me at the cost of your wealth and life!
"Back to the Emperor, it is reported that countless common people have joined the ranks of the rebels and are defying the Emperor." Seeing that Xuanyuan Chengtian was silent for a long time, the kneeling soldier quickly reported the news he knew.
"Sound attack?" Qingcheng was puzzled, and Xuanyuan Chengtian's gaze shot towards him like an arrow. The soldier immediately said in horror: "They shouted that the evildoers in the palace are deceiving the emperor, and that the emperor is stupid and immoral."
"The generals are ordered to listen to the order. I will come to the city in person to attack the rebel army." Xuanyuan Chengtian stared at the soldiers kneeling in front of him and said angrily, his face twisted like a Shura, he slowly raised one hand,
He clenched his fists and cracked his knuckles.
Then he slowly pushed Qingcheng in his arms towards Butterfly who was following behind him: "Sending the empress back to the palace, she is not allowed to step out of Chengqing Pavilion without the Holy Order."
"Your Majesty, Qingcheng will follow you to quell the rebellion." Qingcheng brushed away the butterfly who was so nervous that he wanted to pull her away, looked at Xuanyuan Chengtian and said eagerly.
"What are you going to do? Is this a rebellion or an act?" Xuanyuan Chengtian turned around and said coldly, his tone full of displeasure: He must be blaming her for Jingblade's rebellion!
"Your Majesty, Qingcheng has made up his mind. I hope your Majesty will fulfill his wish." Qingcheng said, bending his knees and kneeling in front of Xuanyuan Chengtian.
"What are you doing?" Xuanyuan Chengtian went to help her with some reproach, but Qingcheng twisted his body to avoid it, and his hand was lost!
Qingcheng raised her head and looked into his eyes, resolutely saying: "I hope your Majesty will make it happen!"
"Alas!" Xuanyuan Chengtian sighed, helped Qingcheng up, and scolded softly: "Qingcheng, I asked you to stay in Chengqing Pavilion and wait for me to come back for your own good! The battlefield is full of swords and arrows,
If you are injured, what should you tell me to do?" His reproach contained incomparable regret.
"Your Majesty, now that Jingren is plotting rebellion, Qingcheng has an unshirkable responsibility. I have to ask him why he is doing this?" Qingcheng couldn't help but look at Xuanyuan Chengtian's eyes that still showed no intention of compromise under his furrowed brows.
She leaned over and took his arm and said, "Aren't you here? Aren't you by my side?"
Xuanyuan Chengtian felt hot in his heart: It turns out that in Qingcheng's heart, she is not without security and trust! She relies on him, she trusts him!
The heavy feeling that was stuck in his heart seemed to disappear just because of Qingcheng's words. Xuanyuan Chengtian smiled lovingly and hugged Qingcheng, saying with a smile: "I can take you there, but you have to be good!"
The eyes of the surrounding ministers and the soldiers who reported the incident could see fire, and they shot Qingcheng with suppressed anger and contempt, but none of them dared to speak out.
There was another rapid sound of horse hooves, dragging the tune that marked an urgent and major event: "Report...,,,,,,"
Qingcheng couldn't help being surprised, and looked towards where he came from with doubts in his heart: Could it be that the Imperial City was lost so quickly? Did the Shocking Blade break through the city?
The dusty soldier seemed to have experienced thousands of mountains and rivers, and fell down from his horse as if he was exhausted. He knelt down in front of Xuanyuan Chengtian with a depressed expression: "Report to the Emperor, there is an emergency on the border, Northern Mu is invading."
"ah!"
Just then, another thunder exploded around them, and everyone screamed in surprise. Xuanyuan Chengtian's slightly spread brows suddenly became tangled together again, and his dark eyes became a little troubled. He closed his eyes for a moment.
After sorting out the chaotic emotions in his mind, he slowly opened his eyes and asked, "Where did the invasion come from?" The voice was low.
"Your Majesty, the invasion will begin from Ruan Town."
Ruan Town? This name flashed through Qingcheng's mind. Isn't this the border town where Bei Mu Kuang kidnapped Qing Cheng and went to Bei Mu Country!
"General Xuanyan quickly enters the palace to fight together." Xuanyuan Chengtian said, then turned around and strode into the Qiankun Palace.
The ministers filed in, and when they passed by Qingcheng, they couldn't help but glance at her and shake their heads.
The courtiers were discussing state affairs, and it was difficult for Qingcheng to go back in. But she was not willing to leave like this. She was eager to know how Xuanyuan Chengtian and the others went about their discussions, and what kind of decision they made!
His father, General Yan, was invited from the mansion. When he walked past Qingcheng, he paused for a moment and glanced at her with a somewhat complicated look. He whispered "take care of yourself" and hurriedly walked into the Qiankun Palace.
Qingcheng was pacing uneasily outside the palace. There seemed to be a fierce quarrel inside, as well as the sound of Xuanyuan Chengtian roaring and slapping the table.
Qingcheng approached the door of the palace and wanted to peek her head in, but she had just raised her foot and shrank back. If the courtiers who were already very critical of her saw her, they might label her as interfering with the government. In that case, Xuanyuan would
Chengtian should be worried again!
After a long time, the general's father left in a hurry, and the courtiers came out one after another, looking at her with hatred in their eyes! Yifei and Xuanyuan Chengtian walked at the back, and they couldn't help but be stunned when they saw Qingcheng.
"Why are you still here? Didn't you go back to the palace to rest?" Xuanyuan Chengtian looked as tired as if he had fought a battle. He came over and held her hand, feeling a little distressed.
Xuanyuan Yifei glanced at her and met Qingcheng's eyes. He couldn't help but quickly looked away and lowered his gaze towards Xuanyuan Chengtian and nodded: "Your Majesty, I will take the first step to make arrangements for retreating from the enemy."
"Well! Here comes King Lao Xian!" Xuanyuan Chengtian turned his head slightly and responded and continued to look at Qingcheng: "You have returned to the palace to rest, you don't need to worry about these, I am here!"
"I wonder what the emperor's arrangements are?" Qingcheng ignored his words and looked at him and asked anxiously.
"I have sent Tianchen's mighty general your father to the border to eliminate the invading enemies. As for the civil strife caused by the Jingblade, I will personally quell it! There is no need for Qingcheng to worry!" Xuanyuan Chengtian said softly and raised his hand.
He caressed her face and stared at her with lowered eyes: "I will be very busy during this period and will not be with you.
, you have to take good care of yourself!" He said, gently pushing her in front of Butterfly: "Send the imperial concubine back to the palace, so that she can serve you well."
"Chengtian, didn't you just promise me to go with you?" Qingcheng quickly grabbed Xuanyuan Chengtian who turned around to leave, and asked anxiously.
Xuanyuan Chengtian looked back at her for a moment, as if he had made a big decision: "Go and change clothes!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Qingcheng said, and he ran out.
Regardless of Butterfly's fierce opposition and dissuasion, Qingcheng appeared at the gate of Chaoyang Palace on horseback dressed in gray and simple men's clothing.
