Empress Wei pursed her lips into a smile and said, "What's there to be afraid of? I'm just worried that the Seventh Prince won't be standing by His Majesty's side when he sees you. But then again, the Seventh Prince's fortune is too deep. His Majesty has to personally take charge of the marriage more than once." As early as last New Year's Eve dinner, Dongfang Cong said that he wanted to personally go back to the main marriage.

Dongfang Qian took a sip of the ginseng soup that had been given to her by Huai En and asked, "What time is it?"

Wyon respectfully replied, "Reporting to Your Majesty, it has already been a while. The emperor's carriage is already waiting outside the palace."

Dongguo handed the white jade flower cup to Empress Wei. "The auspicious hour is the three minutes of the Shenjun time. It's about time for it to pass."

In the end, the Guard Queen helped Dongfang Wenli put on his Nine Dragons Robe and kneeled down as she said, "Your consort respectfully sends Your Majesty off!"

Wynn flung his Buddha Ctenes and sang: "Your Majesty, your piloting!" Following his words, the people of Chengde Palace kneeled down one by one, bowed their heads and respectfully sent Dongfang Ju off.

Dong Fang Qian was about to set off when a prison warden suddenly ran in, looking flustered as he shouted: "Your majesty! Your Majesty, you're in trouble! "

Wyon frowned and walked over to stop him. He shouted, "Your Majesty is fine. What are you shouting for? Today is the day King Rui is in a good mood. You dare to come and touch him? Do you think your life is too long?"

The supervisor took a deep breath and said anxiously, "Please calm your anger, Manager Huai. It is not that I am going to get into trouble, it is that something big is happening!" As he said this, he handed over a paper, and said, "This is the paper that Yang Guan Valley sent over in a hurry. The Southern Domain... Something big has happened! "

When he saw the bloodstained paper, Huai En did not dare to hesitate and quickly took it over to Dongguo, "Your Majesty, an eight hundred mile military report is urgently needed at Yangguan Valley in the southern territory."

Empress Wei, who was at his side, heard his words and asked doubtfully, "Didn't Yang Guan Valley just send someone to deliver the paper two days ago? Why did they report so quickly?"

Dongfang Ru was also baffled. He took the paper and carefully read it, and when he finished reading the report, his face turned as dark as steel. He stared at the supervisor and asked, "Where is the person who delivered the paper?"

"Reporting to His Majesty, we are waiting outside the palace." "Bring him in immediately," Dongfang said as soon as the overseer finished speaking.

When the messenger soldier appeared at Cheng De Palace, everyone was shocked by his wounds. Without even talking, his entire body was covered with blood as a vicious scar extended from his forehead to his chin. The scar caused by his eye was so dark that it could not be seen, clearly showing that he was blind.

After the Fated Palace Mistress helped the pale-faced Empress Wei go back into the palace, Dongfang Ju stared at the dispirited soldier and said, "However, in just a few days, how did the Yangguan Valley fall?"

The soldier widened his only eye in shock. "As early as a month ago, Yangguan Valley was surrounded by the Qi Kingdom. How could His Majesty say that it was only a few days ago?"

"What did you say? A month?"

"Yes sir!" The soldier confirmed, "One month ago, the Qi nation suddenly sent troops to surround the Yangguan Valley so that not even a drop of water could leak out. The general sent a thousand elite soldiers to escort this little one out, but in the end, only this little one survived and came to Jinling. The soldier's eyes reddened as he thought about the bloodbath that he had gone through in the past half month, as well as his fallen brothers.

Wynn was surprised: "Impossible! The report that was sent a few days ago only said that the people of the Qi Kingdom had increased their forces."

"It was more than a month ago when the Qi Empire increased their number of troops." The soldier's words made them all the more astonished. Dongfang Shaofan took a blue leather folder and handed it to the soldier. "Look."

After the soldier looked at it, he said, "This humble one remembers this letter. The general sent it out more than a month ago, and it was also eight hundred li in urgency. At that time, the Qi Kingdom had yet to surround Yangguan Valley. According to the distance, it should have arrived a month ago."

Wynne became even more confused, "This paper slip was indeed delivered a few days ago. I told you about a month ago …" "It didn't match at all, and the soldier who delivered the paper didn't say anything, unless …" He glanced at Dongfang and said nothing more.

Dong Fang Qian's voice was cold as he said: "Unless the person who delivered the letter was not one of our Great Zhou Army, right?"

"Your majesty is wise!" Wyon shrank his neck and whispered.

Dong Fang Qian gritted his teeth, and said word by word: "What a great Qi Kingdom, to be able to swallow Yang Guan Valley without making a sound. Truly capable!"

At this time, how could he not understand that more than a month ago, the Yangguan Valley had discovered that the Qi Kingdom had increased its forces and sent out an urgent military report to warn Dongfang Kuan to prepare for battle, that they had been intercepted by the Qi Kingdom, that they had been caught unprepared by the defensive army in Yangguan Valley, and that the communication between the Yangguan Valley and Jinling had been cut off; it was only a month later that they had sent someone from Dazhou City to deliver this letter to Jinling, so that the East thought that the Yangguan Valley was still safe and sound; if he had not received this urgent report today, he would still be in the dark and thinking that Yangguan Valley was safe and sound.

Wynn's face was pale as he said, "Your Majesty, the Yang Pass Valley is the most important line of defense in the south. The consequences will be unimaginable! "

Dongfang Wenyuan was already frustrated to begin with, and after hearing his words, he became even more upset. He raised his eyebrows and scolded, "Is there even a need for you to remind me?"

"This servant speaks too much." Wynne raised his hand and gave himself two light slaps, treating it as his own punishment.

Dong Fang Qian paced back and forth in the hall. After a long time, Shi Qing and his gold-embroidered dragon boots paused. His ice-cold voice sounded in the hall. "Send someone to summon Prince Ping Yang here."

"Understood." Wyon answered and said to the supervisor who was standing aside, "Go to the Rui Family immediately and ask King Pingyang to come to the palace!"

Today was the day that Shen Xijun would get married. The Pingyang King and his wife would personally send her to King Rui's mansion and have dinner there before coming back. In addition, all the officials in the military and the accounts were there, so rather than wasting their time here, it would be better if he went to see the Pingyang King directly, just in time for the Seventh Elder's wedding.

Thinking up to here, Dongfang Shaoyang called out to the inner director, who was about to leave, "Forget it, it's better if we go." He strode out, and Wynne hurried after him.

At this moment, Cai Yuan was anxiously looking around outside the mansion, muttering, "Why aren't you here yet!"

Xia Yue just happened to have bought something, seeing that he was looking around, she walked over and said: "Who are you waiting for, could it be that the bridal sedan hasn't arrived yet?"

Manager Cai wiped the sweat off his forehead and said anxiously, "The bridal sedan has arrived long ago, but it has been so long since we last saw His Majesty. The auspicious hour is almost here."

"Could it be that His Majesty was so busy with politics that he forgot about it?" Xia Yue knew about Dongfang Cong's main wedding.

Cai Yuan was also worried about this, but he didn't dare to send anyone to urge him on. While he was feeling nervous, the scout he sent just now rushed over with a face full of joy. Before he even got close, his voice had already traveled over, "His Majesty is here!" It's here! "
