All the way back to the mansion, Long Lin discovered it.
It turned out that most people didn't even take a break, waiting for his return.
Seeing this situation, he showed a wry smile to several people.
He is no longer alone, and everything he does will involve his family members.
Although national affairs are far away, once they happen, who can be immune to them?
Looking at the anxious eyes, he couldn't help but sigh.
Without entering the house, he simply sat on the stone bench in the courtyard.
Before, Shangguan Yunxue and Yudie should have been waiting for him here.
Come to think of it, how could Yudie not hear such a movement?
"Okay, don't look at me like that. Something has indeed happened in the court, and it's a big deal."
"What's the big deal?" Shangguan Yunxue asked immediately.
Long Lin raised his head and looked at Shangguan Yunxue, his eyes instantly became complicated.
Just a look, Shangguan Yunxue immediately felt bad in her heart.
"Husband, tell me quickly, what's wrong? Did something happen to Shangguan's family? What big thing happened?"
Eh... With a sigh, Long Lin nodded helplessly.
Seeing this, Shangguan Yunxue froze on the spot.
"Did something happen to the army? Where is my father? Where are my uncles?"
"They... were all killed."
Long Lin spoke with difficulty, his eyes fixed on Shangguan Yunxue as he finished speaking.
I saw Shangguan Yunxue's body swaying slightly before he stabilized his figure.
She didn't faint or cry loudly.
Just from the corner of his eyes, a line of hot tears flowed out instantly.
Seeing this, Long Lin couldn't help but clenched one of his hands into a fist.
In my heart, there seemed to be intense grief as well.
"Xue'er, they are all heroes."
"My husband, as a general, died in battle. For my father, this is the best destiny for him. However, the Huns have already been defeated, so how could such a thing happen? Who else can defeat Shangguan so easily?
My uncle Shangguan Wei, who is well-trained in our family, and my father, all five of them, actually died in battle?"
Shangguan Yunxue's expression was full of heavy sorrow.
But these didn't seem to affect her clever mind.
On the contrary, the other people listening all gasped.
Long Qian and Long Ye were frightened and took several steps back.
Even Jade Die's expression became extremely complicated, and the sadness emerging between her eyebrows was completely visible.
"Brother Six, are these all true? How could it be like this? Is this impossible?"
"Yes, Sixth Brother, I don't think it's possible either. Why was it defeated? Why did so many generals suddenly die in battle?"
Long Qian and Long Ye couldn't help but ask directly.
After hearing this, Long Lin nodded slightly again.
Fortunately, although everyone looked horrified, they did not lose their composure too much.
Long Lin opened his mouth and slowly told what happened in the court.
After hearing these things, several of them couldn't help but feel frightened.
Especially the emperor's order and the cold killing intent made their hearts extremely complicated.
On the contrary, Long Lin's face did not react too strongly.
"Okay, this is what happened. Long Qi should have retreated to the pass now. This matter will spread all over the world in a short time. Now that Long Qi is retreating steadily, finding a way to retreat from the enemy as soon as possible is the top priority right now.
"
"Brother Six..." Long Qian opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.
No matter how he thought about it, he felt that taking on this matter at this time was definitely a fatal move. What should he do with such a major matter?
Long Ye's expression was also full of anxiety. When he suddenly heard such a thing, his mind went blank in shock.
At such a critical moment, he believed that his father was absolutely innocent, but if he could not resist, the entire court would be in danger. At that time, even if his father did not kill Long Lin, how could they, the princes, still have one? good?
After hearing this, Long Lin raised his hand and tapped his forehead.
He is very sleepy and tired now. It is not suitable to think about things at this time.
"There are still a few hours until dawn. Brother Eight, please go to the side and rest here for one night. When you wake up tomorrow, we will discuss this matter again. Let's all go and have a rest. How can we think of something good when we are tired?" solution?"
After Long Lin finished speaking, he stood up and waved slightly to a few people.
When he came to Shangguan Yunxue, he took Shangguan Yunxue directly into his arms.
Several people saw this in their eyes and silently retreated.
Long Ye arranged Long Qian and returned to the house.
Yudie saw it in her eyes, sighed, and walked slowly towards her house.
Shangguan Yunxue in his arms completely melted into Long Lin's arms.
His head was buried deeply, and then the sound of sad and painful cries started to sound.
"Cry, their sacrifices. I believe that all conscientious people in the world will feel regret and sorrow after hearing this. It has happened, you and I. I hope you can cheer up and not be knocked down by grief."
"Husband, wuwu...I...understand."
After hearing this, Long Lin worked harder and harder, trying to give the person in his arms some strength.
After Shangguan Yunxue calmed down her emotions, they hugged each other and entered the house.
Lying on the bed, I could hear the heavy breathing in my ears clearly.
My mind was in chaos, I was obviously very sleepy, but I couldn't seem to fall asleep.
I was dazed, and after a long time, I finally fell back to sleep.
Lei Xiao and a group of cabinet ministers stayed up all night.
They discussed it for a long time, and there was no room for any delay in the matter.
Early in the morning, Lei Xiao took a sedan chair and rushed to the palace with everyone again.
As soon as he arrived at the door of the study, he was stopped directly by Eunuch Xishun.
Xishun unfolded the imperial edict and conveyed the emperor's wishes.
Upon hearing this, Lei Xiao raised his head in horror.
A look of despair immediately flashed across his expression.
After respectfully accepting the order, everyone retreated.
"Master Lei, why would the Emperor let the Dragon King handle such a big matter?"
"Also, according to Eunuch Xishun, the emperor's dragon body seems to be very bad. What happened after we left last night?"
"My lords, what do you think the emperor means by this move? Is the future prince giving up his throne to Long Lin?"
...
Voices sounded one after another, and Lei Xiao's face became increasingly ugly.
He turned his head and looked directly at everyone with his sharp eyes.
"Everyone, is it inappropriate to talk about the Crown Prince now? A few days ago, the Emperor's body was still very strong. Even if this incident has a great impact on the Emperor, the situation should not be that bad. The enemy is facing us now. The most important thing to do now is What we do is to retreat from the enemy in unison."
"Yes, Mr. Lei, having said that, it is the Crown Prince's matter..."
"Why are you panicking? Last time you discussed with the Emperor about the crown prince, didn't you all agree that Long Qi is more suitable? This is the rule of the imperial court, and the Emperor will never change it easily. The next time we discuss it, we can act according to the circumstances."
After Lei Xiao finished speaking, everyone immediately nodded slightly.
"Master Lei, what should we do now? Go find the Dragon King?"
"Go, how can there be any delay at such a critical moment? The enemy has already broken through and entered the pass. With such a defeat, I'm afraid they will soon reach the foot of the capital."
After saying this, Lei Xiao turned around and walked towards the outside of the palace.
