After meeting Emperor Yihong, the two told them what happened today.
Bailiyu said: "The master of Yaowang Valley has produced a batch of medicine. Beast City will inevitably take drastic measures after receiving the news that Bai Ling'er has been banned for four times. I requested an order to guard the southwest."
Is he leaving?
Su Qing was dumbfounded when he heard this: "There are generals guarding the southwest, and the Donglan Kingdom in the northwest must also be on guard. If the army is transferred, someone may take advantage of it."
"There is no need to mobilize the army from the northwest. As long as my father gives the order, the army from the southwest will naturally obey the deployment." Baili Yu said.
So, he is going to take the place of the general leading the army in the southwest?
Su Qing looked at Emperor Yihong.
Emperor Yihong looked at the two of them curiously, wondering if the couple had a quarrel, but as an elder he could not interfere with the private affairs of his daughter-in-law and son.
"The beast army in Beast City has been ambushing you on the southwest border. Please think clearly that fighting against enemies is no better than fighting against humans."
"I have thought deeply about it. Once the southwestern border is breached, there will be three hundred miles without city defense. It is precisely because of the danger of this battle that we cannot afford to lose anything. I will not worry if I don't go there in person."
Emperor Yihong looked at Su Qing: "Ah Qing, are you willing to let Yu'er go?"
Su Qing frowned when asked.
Can you just not leave if you can’t bear it?
Moreover, Emperor Yihong's tone seemed to agree with Bailiyu going to the southwest.
Baili Yu glanced at her without any trace, and saw that her plain little face was full of reluctance, but she was still sensible: "Your Majesty has read military books and worried about the country day and night. Now is the time when we need him.
My daughter-in-law will naturally not be reluctant to leave her."
"It's just that my father doesn't care about spreading news about the war? This person deliberately disturbed the people's sentiments. He has a terrible intention and should send someone to investigate strictly."
Since Bailiyu is in Kyoto anyway, let him investigate this matter, and go to the southwest border somewhere.
"I will let Xi Yu take responsibility for this matter. Ah Qing, Ya'er hasn't seen you for a long time. It's rare that you go to the palace to see her."
Emperor Yihong wanted to send her away, but Su Qing was a little reluctant, so she bowed and left.
Emperor Yihong asked his father-in-law to go down with him, and his eyes became serious: "Do you know about the situation in the southwest?"
Understanding is understanding, but speaking cannot be said.
Baili Yu said: "I know that General Qi Beiyu who guards the southwest is not as good at fighting as I am."
"Hehehe..." Emperor Yihong smiled. Bailiyu's words really gave Qi Beiyu face. What do you mean by inferiority? They are so different, one is a genius and the other is a waste.
"This man Xiaoyong also made a lot of contributions to the Ming Dynasty. Thinking that his hometown is in the southwest, I graciously allowed his family to settle in the southwest. However, in recent years, under his watch, the southwest has robbed Hengsheng.
, disasters continue.”
At this point, Emperor Yihong had accurately expressed his dissatisfaction with Qi Beiyu.
Bailiyu understood: "My son will definitely investigate thoroughly when he goes this time. If he has done anything wrong, he will not be spared lightly!"
"The situation in the southwest is tense. How can you have time to investigate slowly?" Emperor Yihong's eyes flashed with murderous intent: "I want you to kill him."
Uncle Qing Yi is in the southwest and is also investigating Qi Beiyu.
So, Uncle Qingyi was assassinated!
Qing Yibo's subordinates came back with news and were able to confirm that the person who committed the assassination was Qi Beiyu. However, Qi Beiyu had been entrenched in the southwest for a long time and had a solid foundation. He had destroyed all the evidence of his crime. It would be difficult to arrest and interrogate him.
Even Emperor Yihong dared to assassinate his uncle. How could Emperor Yihong keep such a general alive?
Bailiyu pondered for a moment: "Yes. What about his wife and children?"
"The crime is not as serious as that of my wife and children. I just need to do things more cleanly."
...
Su Qing left the imperial study and went to the palace of Bailiya. For two or three months, Bailiya was not seen getting brighter and brighter.
"Two days ago, people from the Xia family came to the palace to see Concubine Xia. They had some disputes with Concubine Xia, but I don't know what they were arguing about." Bailia was chatting with Su Qing.
Speaking of Concubine Xia, a coldness flashed across Su Qing's eyes: "She will definitely not be reconciled to her current situation. Ya'er should pay more attention to her."
After sitting for a long time, Bailiyu came to pick her up.
.
Su Qing and Bai Liyu came out of the palace together. On the carriage, the two of them were speechless.
For a long time, Su Qing couldn't hold it in any longer: "Why do you suddenly want to go to the southwest?"
Bailiyu glanced sideways at her and said nothing.
When he was like this, Su Qing remembered the time when he asked her to give birth to a child, and she was thinking wildly. Was it because her reaction made him unhappy, so he didn't want to see her?
"What did your father say?"
"The imperial edict has been prepared and sent to the southwest."
Su Qing was surprised: "So fast? When will you leave?"
"Now."
"So anxious? But it will be dark in three hours."
Bailiyu said: "Go back and pack up and bow. We can reach Pei'an City before dark."
"Are you going alone?"
Bailiyu glanced sideways at Panmao: "You want to go with me?"
Su Qing really wanted to go with him.
"Someone is spreading war this time, and their purpose is to target me. If I don't handle it well, I'm worried about trouble. Why don't you wait for two days, and then we can go together after these things are settled?"
Bailiyu was surprised that she actually wanted to go with him.
The last time I took her to the Beast City, she suffered so much and complained that she couldn't move.
"I took the initiative to make a request to my father. It is not convenient for me to stay. Since you want to come, let Ning Liu and Ronger escort you then."
This is indeed the truth.
Su Qing was not someone who couldn't let go of the love between her children, so she agreed. After returning home, Su Qing went to prepare a change of clothes and dry food, while Bai Liyu went to say goodbye to Su Changyun.
It was just a notice to say goodbye, and he would be back soon.
The owner of the valley was waiting for Bai Liyu at the entrance of the yard. When he saw him coming back, he stepped forward and asked, "Do you really want to leave?"
"There are some things that require me to disappear in Kyoto to do."
After bowing and packing, Su Qing sent Bai Liyu out of the city, with a calm expression on his face but full of reluctance in his eyes. But the man looked nonchalant and left without looking back.
"I didn't expect that the prince would leave suddenly. I'm not used to it at all." Qing'er said, "Princess, let's go back."
"Go to Sanli Village." She happened to be out of the city, so she stopped by to ask Yuan Qin about the tenant farmers.
The tenants were all imprisoned together. These people did not deserve sympathy, but some of the children were somewhat pitiful.
Sanli Village.
Yuan Qin served tea: "There are some families down there who are acting strangely these days. I was keeping an eye on this matter, but I didn't expect that they had already gone to the city to find the princess."
"Among those tenants are there people from our village?" Yuan Qin nodded: "There are two households, both poor people. They admitted their mistake at first, so I didn't kill them all. After the news came back that they were arrested by the officials,
, I only found out about this when the old mother of the Liu family came to beg me."
The lives of those small households who were evicted were indeed difficult, but the two families who remained in Zhuangzi still had a decent life.
At least they took the skinny girl at home to sell out today, but knew to leave their plump son at home.
