Chapter 236 Sudden Incident

Nan Xi ignored her and ignored her, and spent the next few days in the palace to raise her baby. However, with Yinyue as a know-it-all, she would know almost immediately if there was any trouble outside.

The Dongling envoy temporarily stayed, and Fuchen and Chu Hongyi ignored what was going on outside the window and only focused on cultivating their relationship.

The envoys of Xiqi, Lin Wu and Lin Baozhu, suffered setbacks at the hands of Chu Hongyi. They lost face and were too embarrassed to stay any longer. Within a few days, they took the initiative to say goodbye, and then led the envoys and guards on their way back to Xiqi. .

Halfway through the car, a spy from Xiqi came from the border and reported in an anxious tone: "I just received the news a few days ago that the regent has been in poor health during this period. Even the imperial doctors in the palace are helpless. Things are going to change in the palace." ”

Lin Wu and Lin Baozhu were both shocked: "How could that happen?"

Lin Baozhu's face suddenly changed: "Didn't the Prince Regent have good health before we came to Dazhou? I had never heard of him having any symptoms of discomfort. Why did he suddenly..."

"I'm not sure, but I'm not sure yet whether it's a symptom of poisoning." The spy said, "General, it's better to go back quickly. It's too late, I'm afraid..."

What he was afraid of, he didn't finish directly, but the meaning was already very obvious.

Lin Wu's expression changed, and he suddenly remembered what Dongling General Chu Hongyi said on the day he arrived at the Imperial Palace of the Zhou Dynasty, and couldn't help but ask: "Has anyone with suspicious behavior appeared in the imperial city recently?"

What he was worried about was that Jiuxiao Pavilion had penetrated into the imperial city, and the consequences would be disastrous.

The spy looked hesitant: "I don't know."

He was only in charge of the intelligence business at the border. When he suddenly received news from the imperial city, he rushed to inform Lin Wu. He was afraid that something might change if it was too late. How could he have so much time to ask clearly about the situation? Moreover, the imperial city is so far away from the border, and it is far from convenient for spies to pass information between them.

Lin Wu's heart sank, and he immediately ordered: "Speed ​​up and hurry up, we must rush back to the imperial city within ten days!"

"yes!"

…

Over there, Lin Wugang received urgent news from the Imperial City of Xiqi. Over here, Su Chang, the Prime Minister of South Vietnam, also received news that shocked him the next day.

"Prime Minister, something happened at the border." Soldiers from the South Vietnam border camp came over with anxious faces and reported urgently, "Five days ago, a fire broke out in the military camp's grain depot, and 70% of the grain and grass were burned. General Gao, Commander Dou, etc. All the generals were poisoned by a strange poison, suffering from vomiting and diarrhea. After seeing it, the military doctor used several herbal medicines for diagnosis and treatment, but there was no improvement. Now they need to find doctors with superb medical skills immediately and transport food and grass to the border, otherwise the soldiers will soon face The dilemma of having no food to eat!”

At that time, Su Chang was having a secret conversation with Duanmu Yu, the prince of Northern Xinjiang, in a private room in a restaurant in the imperial capital. When they heard the soldier's report, both of them changed their expressions.

Su Chang and Duanmu Yu looked at each other, their eyebrows darkening: "Does Prince Duanmu think this is Jiuxiao Pavilion's handiwork?"

"I'm not sure." Duanmu Yu's voice was cold, "But it's too much of a coincidence."

Su Shang's expression was gloomy and unclear: "If Jiuxiao Pavilion really has some unknown relationship with Dazhou, plus Dongling is an in-law ally, we have to be careful."

Duanmuyu took a sip of wine and said in a calm tone: "I asked Nan Jiao last night. Nan Jiao knew nothing about the identity of her sister-in-law. During the more than ten years since Princess Dongling was married to Nan Xingzhi, He has indeed never revealed his identity.”

Su Shang said nothing.

He knew that Nan Jiao took the initiative to show friendship to Duan Muyu. Everyone knew the purpose of a woman's willingness to show friendship to Duan Muyu. Duan Muyu just refused to accept anyone who came and wanted her. As for being able to get her from Nan Jiao You don't have to have any illusions about what information you can find out there.

As the prince of Northern Xinjiang, Duanmu Yu has a high status, and there is never a shortage of bed-warming women around him. If a beautiful woman takes the initiative to throw herself into his arms, for him, apart from enjoying the pleasure of a beautiful woman for a few days, it will not bring any extra trouble. What reason for rejection?

Nan Jiao used her body to please him, and he gave Nan Jiao the gold, silver, and jewelry she wanted. After everyone got what they needed, they parted ways. If he could find out some information he wanted to know, it would be an added value.

However, the current emergency situation was completely beyond their expectation. Su Chang said: "The situation at the border cannot be ignored. I have to leave Dazhou tonight. What do you think, Prince?"

"If Jiuxiao Pavilion really wants to take action, it cannot only target South Vietnam. Xi Qi Linwu has already left first. It is not known whether he received any urgent information on the way. However, important matters of the family and the country cannot be taken lightly. It is better to go back as soon as possible." Duanmu Yu said coldly, "I will say goodbye to the Regent of Great Zhou early tomorrow morning. This trip can only be regarded as in vain."

They all underestimated the strength and temper of the regent of the Great Zhou Dynasty, thinking that they could take advantage of the civil strife in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Unexpectedly, not only did an Dongling appear on the way, but even the Jiuxiao Pavilion was involved, so they had no choice but to take advantage of it. Return home for now.

The prince of a country is always a little uneasy when he stays on someone else's territory, so it is best to take the best approach. Moreover, the fact that the prince of Shu was kidnapped has not yet been found out, so it is always right to be cautious.

So in the evening of that day, Su Chang took the initiative to see the regent. He thanked the regent for his hospitality these days and said goodbye. After receiving the regent's permission, Su Chang left the capital of the Zhou Dynasty with the South Vietnamese envoys without stopping for a moment.

The lights were bright at night, and Duanmu Yu, who had eaten well, was leaning on the bedside, with his clothes half-undressed, revealing his strong bronze chest. Nan Jiao snuggled meekly into the crook of his shoulder and said sweetly: "Prince, you can take me to Moyu Pavilion tomorrow." Want to go shopping? I want to buy two pieces of jewelry..."

"I'm afraid I won't be able to do it tomorrow." Duanmu Yu said calmly, "The prince will leave Dazhou early tomorrow morning, and I won't have time to accompany you to visit any pavilion."

Leaving early tomorrow morning?

Nan Jiao looked at him in surprise, suppressed her uneasiness, and forced a smile: "Why...why are you leaving so suddenly?"

Duanmu Yu glanced at her: "I am a guest of Da Zhou, and I am not the owner of this place. There is no need to stay."

"Then..." Nan Jiao felt a little flustered and couldn't help but sit up from the bed, "Then, I, I..."

"You are the daughter of an official of the Zhou Dynasty. You cannot leave the Zhou Dynasty without permission from the royal family." Duanmu Yu's voice was calm and cold, "Even if I want to take you with me, I can't."

Nan Jiao's face turned pale, and her eyes couldn't help but turn red. She looked at him in disbelief: "But I have already... I have given my body to the prince..."

"This is of your own free will, isn't it?" Duanmu Yu said in a calm tone. After saying that, he got out of bed, walked outside and brought in a jade plate. "You have served me with all your heart these past two days, and I cannot treat you badly." , these gold and silver jewelry are your reward."
