In the tent of the western Guangdong army, King Yue ordered the next deployment, leaned on the chair and closed his eyes to rest.

Yu Heng came in with breakfast and put it on the table beside him: "My lord, why don't you eat something."

In the past few days, the prince has been busy until very late, and his face has been tense and expressionless. There is an air of urgency all over his body, as if there is something chasing after him, which makes him wish to hurry up and hurry up.

King Yue opened his eyes, his eyes were bloodshot, and there were some traces of blue under his eyes: "Is there a letter from the princess?"

"Reporting to the prince, not yet."

King Yue nodded, a trace of imperceptible disappointment flashed in his cold eyes, then he pulled the tray aside, and finished the food on it in two or three bites: "If you have news about the princess, you must send it as soon as possible. The weather is now It's getting colder and colder, and the disease in northern Xinjiang has been relieved with medicinal materials, let the soldiers below pay attention to prevent sneak attacks in northern Xinjiang."

"Yes, my lord."

"How is the situation at the court?"

"The emperor reprimanded the prince for being unfaithful several times in the court hall, and dispatched the army again. After half a month, the second batch of manpower should be ready. Beijiang also sent a letter to the emperor, expressing his willingness In the meaning of attachment, the emperor replied and agreed, looking very happy, and has already hinted that the northern border, it is best to join forces with the imperial army, and the two will fight to wipe out our army in western Guangdong in one fell swoop."

When Yu Heng mentioned Beijiang, his words were full of sarcasm. He thought what kind of means Beijiang could use. It seemed that he wanted to be a fool and benefit both sides. Don't they know that the grass on the wall has a shallow foundation and is the easiest to be uprooted?

"Send a letter to the emperor and let him arrange it as soon as possible. Before Beijiang has fully recovered, it is a good time to kill them."

"Yes."

When Yu Heng retreated, King Yue took out a sachet embroidered with the word "Ping An" from his bosom, caressed it lovingly for a while, then put it on his lips and kissed it gently, his expression gradually softened: "Yaoer, we My child is almost six months old, and I originally promised to be by your side at this time, but in the end I broke my promise...

King Yue was silent for a while, carefully put the sachet into his arms, then rubbed his chest, which was aching because of longing, took a deep breath, and then read the report sent by the army.

The generals kept coming and going in and out of the camp, passing down orders one by one, changing the atmosphere in the army without a trace.

As night fell, King Yue had just finished handling military affairs and was about to rest when Yu Heng walked in quickly: "Master, Miss Xu is here."

"Huh?" King Yue didn't react for a while, "Who are you talking about?"

"Miss Xu Qi, Xu Fei's daughter."

"Xu Qi? Why don't you stay in Yanzhou well, what is she doing here?" King Yue frowned.

"This... my subordinates don't know either. When she came outside the barracks, she was arrested by the patrolling soldiers. At first, she thought she was a spy, but after asking about her real identity, she reported it."

King Yue's brows turned cold: "The important place of the military camp, idlers and others are not allowed to enter, please inform and send two people to send her away."

"Yes, my lord." Yu Heng responded and walked out quickly.

As soon as he went out, he was stopped by a general from western Guangdong: "Yu Heng, what does the prince say?"

"What do you say?"

"That Miss Xu?" The general winked. The border in western Guangdong is bitterly cold. Although King Yue has a cold temper these years, he has always treated the underground soldiers with great love. In private, the generals are not too afraid. It was said that a beautiful woman came to see the prince, and immediately came to watch the excitement, and they all pretended to be casual and walked back and forth in front of the tent.

Yu Heng glanced at him quickly: "Don't talk nonsense, the prince is a princess, and he is as good as a jade, so you must not let the prince hear this, otherwise, if you are punished, don't feel wronged."

The general quickly smiled: "Aren't I curious? Being able to travel all the way from Kyoto to the west of Guangdong, this kind of friendship is very rare..."

"Wangfei still gives you ginger tea every year. Without ginger tea, you don't know how many people died of freezing. Are you worthy of Wangfei?" Yu Heng snorted, Jinlan had agreed with him before coming. , must let him look after the prince, if Xu Qi took advantage of the loophole at this moment, then Jinlan would definitely be angry when he went back, it's terrible, it's terrible.

"Uh... I'm just talking casually, the kindness of the princess is always in our hearts."

"Well, hurry up and tell those people not to join in the fun, and practice soldiers when you have time. The prince ordered someone to send that Miss Xu back."

"Go back? Where to go?"

"Where did you come from and go back, silly!"

"Oh!"

Yu Heng went down to order, but seeing Xu Qi before he could speak, the other party spoke first: "Yu Heng, I know the prince doesn't want to see me, but I'm here to tell the prince something important."

Yu Heng's expression remained unchanged: "Miss Xu, the relationship between the army is very important. Besides, the prince and the court are at odds. You should also know that your father is an official in the court and is highly valued. Now you are here to see the prince. No matter what it is for, it will not be of great benefit to your father or the Xu family."

"I'm not afraid of those. I really have something important to do. I must tell the prince face to face. Please report it for me."

"If Miss Xu really has something important to do, you can leave a letter and I will send it to the prince."

"No, I want to say it face to face, the matter... the matter is related to Princess Yue!"

Yu Heng frowned fiercely, examined Xu Qi's expression, and guessed whether her words were true or false: "The princess has something to do, why did I ask you to notify me?"

"The concubine is afraid that the prince is worried, so some things have not been reported to others. The reason why I am willing to say it is because I want to see the prince. This is the truth." Xu Qi looked sincere.

Yu Heng paused for a moment, then ordered the guards on the side: "Take care of Ms. Xu, I'm going to invite the prince."

"Yes."

Yue Wang heard Yu Heng's reply, his expression gradually turned cold, and he stood up after a long while: "Lead the way."

"Yes."

Xu Qi waited anxiously in the tent, and raised his head when he heard the door curtain being lifted.

Yue Wang, who was dressed in black, came with a chill all over his body, and his cold eyes did not contain any warmth, falling on his body, like ice hitting his face.

Seeing this figure who thought about it day and night, Xu Qi's eyes turned red, and he burst into tears: "My lord..."

King Yue looked at her coldly: "What's the matter with the princess?"

Xu Qi's lips trembled, and he raised his hand to wipe away his tears. He didn't delay to cause King Yue's dissatisfaction: "The concubine has been drugged with hallucinogens, and she has been restless for the past few months. Gradually weakened, but because I was worried that the prince would know about it and affect the arrangement here, so I didn't send a message."

King Yue's heart sank suddenly: "Hasn't Aunt Huang investigated the hallucinogens?"

"Princess Yide, Du Niangzi and others searched the palace, but in the end they did not find the source of the ecstasy... The prince is not with the princess, and she is not feeling well after she became pregnant, and her mood has been very low. I don't know what's going on…”
