Chapter 154: Soft Around Fingers

Rong Yu looked at her deeply and raised the corners of his lips slightly: "Yeah."

"Let's have breakfast." Nan Xi picked up a steamed dumpling and brought it to his lips, "Husband, open your mouth."

Although they just got married yesterday, the call "husband" seems to have been called countless times, which makes people's hearts soften and their hearts flutter.

Rong Yu opened his mouth to eat, and a charming smile appeared at the end of his eyes, as if the dazzling sunlight penetrated the ice, and the corners of his brows and eyes were soaked with a warm luster, as tender as water.

During the wedding period, the two of them didn't want to go anywhere, they just wanted to stay quietly in the palace and enjoy the tranquility and warmth after marriage.

However, many times things always seem to backfire, and there are always a lot of unexpected twists and turns.

At three o'clock, three fast horses entered the imperial city from the military camp on the outskirts of the city. They came galloping down the broad street and stopped outside the gate of the Prince Regent's Palace. The three men in military uniforms dismounted and hurried out of the palace.

The leading man was none other than Qi Lin, one of Rong Yu's generals.

"Your Majesty." When he arrived at the Zhaochen Palace, Qi Lin handed over an urgent message with both hands. "The Kingdom of Shu has added 50,000 elite troops at the northern border. Prince Ye Yan of the Kingdom of Shu, his sister Ye Qingcheng and his envoys entered four days ago. In the Great Zhou Dynasty, we have already arrived at Yancheng, and we will reach the imperial capital in about three days."

Rong Yu stretched out his hand to take the information and began to read it silently. After a moment, he said calmly: "Has the information been sent to the palace?"

The man on Qi Lin's left answered: "Yes, I have already reported it to the emperor."

Rong Yu hummed and said in an indifferent tone: "I understand."

The two spies resigned.

Rong Yu walked slowly under the pavilion with his hands behind his back, and said indifferently: "In the past two days, we have ordered our troops and horses to prepare for the expedition."

Going on an expedition?

Qi Lin frowned slightly: "The prince just got married..."

"I am not going," Rong Yu said calmly, "I will lead an army of 50,000 Xuanjia troops to attack Shu. You will be the commander-in-chief."

Qi Lin was surprised: "The last general is alone?"

"Ling Fan should be back in three to five days at most." Rong Yu said, "You two are in good company."

Qi Lin was silent for a moment: "Will the emperor agree?"

"If we really want to go to war, we can't help but disagree with him." Rong Yu said in a cold voice, "I am just asking you to prepare for the war. Whether you really want to go to war is not yet certain."

Qi Lin understood what Rong Yu meant.

The Kingdom of Shu was defeated at the hands of his prince before. Although they had been recuperating for a while, with their current military strength and economic strength, they should not be a match for the Great Zhou Dynasty. There were 50,000 more elite troops added to the borders of the Kingdom of Shu, and perhaps even more. kind of intimidation and threat.

As for the threat, it is naturally the purpose of the Shu Kingdom's visit to the Great Zhou Dynasty - I have received information before that the Shu Kingdom plans to marry the Great Zhou Dynasty, and today's intelligence clearly states that His Highness the Prince of Shu Kingdom personally went as an envoy to the Great Zhou Dynasty. Zhou also brought their princess, and the purpose was very clear.

His Majesty the Emperor currently has a large number of concubines in his harem, and he already has a queen who has a mother's love for the world. If the princess of Shu comes to marry, if she doesn't want to be too young, then it is more likely that she should be promised to a certain prince in the court who has not yet been married.

Although these are just speculations at the moment, we have to wait until their prince and princess arrive to know what the emperor of Shu wants to do, but this war probably cannot be fought.

"Master." Qingyang came quickly from one end of the corridor and bowed to report, "Master Yun is here."

Mr. Yun?

Qi Lin's eyebrows moved slightly, who is Young Master Yun?

"Ask him to go to my king's study." Rong Yu spoke calmly, then turned to look at Qi Lin, "You go back first and wait for my king's instructions."

"yes."

Rong Yu turned around and went to the study, followed by Qingyang.

Entering the study, Yunting stepped forward and saluted: "Master."

"What's going on?"

"Jiuxiao Pavilion spies intercepted a piece of information on the ninth day of April. It was a letter written by King Ning of the Great Zhou Dynasty to the Emperor of Shu." Yunting presented the information, "This is a copy. In order to avoid alerting the enemy, the letter I had a copy copied, and the original letter was already in the hands of the Emperor of Shu. Since the matter was not urgent, I waited until the master’s wedding ceremony before delivering it.”

Rong Yu sat in the chair behind the desk, unfolded the information and looked at it, his eyebrows gradually became cold.

King Ning Rong Chuning, ranked sixth among the late emperor's princes, had also participated in the war for the throne, but was finally defeated by Rong Chuyun. He had kept a low profile for the past year, and he did not expect to have correspondence with the royal family of Shu.

Rong Yu's voice was light: "What's the secret behind this princess sent by Shu?"

"This girl's name is Ye Qingcheng. She has a very beautiful face, almost demonic, and is good at soul-stirring." Yunting lowered his eyes and replied, "She is an irresistible beauty."

Rong Yu narrowed her eyes and looked at the copied letter on the table: "Is the letter signed by Prince Ning?"

"Master is indeed keen." Yunting smiled and nodded, "The signature is indeed Prince Ning, and it has Prince Ning's seal stamped on it, but my subordinates think Prince Ning should not be so stupid."

He stamped his own seal on the letters to and from the king of the enemy country. If the letters fell into the hands of others, it would be a serious crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason, leading to death. How stupid could he be to not even think of this?

Rather than Prince Ning collaborating with the enemy, he was more inclined to believe that this letter was the emperor's conspiracy.

"Master, do you want your subordinates to go investigate?"

Rong Yu said calmly: "No, if you stay in the imperial capital during this period, consider it as a leave for you."

Yunting was silent for a moment, guessing that this decision should be for the new princess, he nodded and said: "Yes. I will leave first."

Rong Yu didn't keep him.

After Yunting left, Rong Yu went to the garden. Nan Xi, Yin Yue and Yin Shuang were admiring flowers in the garden. When they saw Rong Yu arriving, Yin Yue and Yin Shuang saluted before leaving.

"I'm going to the palace." Rong Yu held Nan Xi in his arms and kissed her forehead. "If you feel bored, let Yin Yue and Yin Shuang accompany you for a walk."

"It's okay, I was busy with the wedding yesterday, and my body is a little tired." Nan Xi smiled lightly, "I'll stay in the palace to rest today, and go out for a walk another day."

Rong Yu hummed, and couldn't help kissing her face again: "I'll be back early."

"Don't worry." Nan Xi smiled and kissed him back, "Old rules, don't let anything enter the palace after entering."

Rong Yu nodded and whispered in her ear: "I will follow the order of my beloved concubine."

Nan Xi's smile deepened: "Go."

Rong Yu turned around and left reluctantly.

With Rong Yu's usually cold and indifferent temperament, probably no one would have thought that he could be so tender and gentle, but even if he is a tough guy, there is always someone in this world who can make him willingly become soft around his fingers.

Rong Chuyun and Rong Yu received the letter at the same time, so even if Rong Yu did not enter the palace, Rong Chuyun would send someone to invite him.

When Rong Yu's carriage arrived outside the palace gate, he happened to see Chen Dazongguan coming out of the palace.

"This old servant greets the Regent King, may the prince be well." Chen Fu saluted, "This servant was just about to invite the Regent King to the palace, and what a coincidence that he ran into the prince."
