Lv Yi thought for a while: "The Chu Di annexing of Nanzhao, has completely broken the peace that the six nations have maintained for many years. I'm afraid that Tung Ling will have to take action again."

Dong Fang Hui frowned, Tung Ling... It really worried him.

Lv Yi looked at him, and said softly: "Your Majesty, there is a sentence, I do not know if I should say it."

"Speak!"

"The Tung Ling has always been a mysterious place, and no one knows about it. The one who should be curious about them is probably not us, the Dazhou. Similarly, the one who is afraid of them is not only the Dazhou."

Dong Fang Hui raised his brows, "You mean the Qi?"

Lv Yi nodded his head: "Yes; Bei Yan is weak, West Chu has just risen to power, and is far from Tung Ling, so they do not have the ability to probe him, but Qi is different. They share the border with Tung Ling, so they might have already sent people to Tung Ling."

understood what she meant, "Do you want us to join hands and deal with Tung Ling together when Tung Ling is in trouble?"

"No!" Lv Yi said solemnly: "This servant is more inclined to 'strike first to gain the upper hand'."

"Since there must be a war between the two countries, why not strike first and take control of the situation in your own hands, or even …"

Dong Fang Hui faintly took back her unfinished words, "Taking this as a chance to drain the power of Qi, right?"

Lv Yi lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty is wise."

Dong Fang Hui paced back and forth inside the room with his hands behind his back, "We will think about this matter a little more, you may leave first."

As for Huai En's side, he escorted Mu Qian Xue all the way to the palace entrance before stopping, smiling merrily as he said: "Take care, Princess."

"Thank you, Eunuch." Xia Yue returned the salute and supported the silent Mu Qian Xue back to the carriage that was waiting outside the palace gate. When the carriage driver saw them come over, he immediately placed a small stool beside the carriage so that they could board it.

Just as he was about to step on the small stool, Mu Qian Xue suddenly pulled back, pulled Xia Yue's hand and quickly walked towards the palace gate, calling Huai En who was walking quite a distance away, "Eunuch, please hold your steps!"

Huai En turned around in surprise, "Is there anything else I can help you with?"

Mu Qian Xue quickly walked in front of him, removed the scarlet gold lotus pearl bracelet from her hand and stuffed it into Huai En's hands. "West Chu is very ambitious, in the future, you will definitely become a huge threat to Northern Week.

Huai En really did not expect that at this time, she still had not given up. He shook his head slightly and returned the bracelet to Mu Qian Xue, "This old servant's status is low, I would never dare to discuss national affairs in front of Your Majesty. This old servant is busy … This old servant cannot help. "

Seeing that he was not willing to accept it, Mu Qian Xue anxiously said: "This elder has the Your Majesty's trust, as long as you speak, I will listen. Regarding the matter regarding the West Chu, this elder will have to listen to you, only this elder will be able to persuade the Your Majesty. Without waiting for Mu Qian Xue to finish speaking, Huai En had already taken a step back and bowed: "This old servant will take his leave."

"Eunuch!" "Eunuch!" This time, no matter how Mu Qian Xue called out to him, Huai En did not stop.

Xia Yue had been stunned for a long time, she had only just regained her senses, but the way she looked at Mu Qian Xue was extremely strange, as though she was looking at an unfamiliar person, and not a master who had served her for four years.

Mu Qian Xue looked at her strange expression, and didn't say anything, and lightly said: "Let's go."

After the two of them boarded the carriage, the coachman put away the small stool. With a loud crack of the whip, the wheel began to smoothly rotate, pressing down on the wet bluestone floor.

In the carriage, Xia Yue kept staring at Mu Qian Xue with that strange gaze. Her lips moved a few times, but she did not make a sound.

"You want to know why I bribed Huai En?" Hearing this, Xia Yue nodded his head repeatedly, and then said everything that he had been thinking about, "Hmm, Princess and this servant had said before that Emperor Zhou is different from one another, and that Emperor Zhou is not a trustworthy person, and had even warned me to never tell Emperor Zhou about the true situation between Camping and myself, not even a single word can be said about it. The matter of restoring the Nanzhao, on the other hand, is not something that I can count on you, but now …" She really could not accept that the Princess, who had always been calm and self-contained, would actually do such a disorganized thing.

"Do you really think that the Emperor Zhou summoning me here is just to ask you about the matters of the West Chu? He … Cough cough! " A series of coughs came out of his mouth, interrupting his speech. Different from his usual light cough, this time it was very harsh, as if his internal organs were about to cough out.

After a long time, Mu Qian Xue finally managed to calm down, and leaned on Xia Yue's body weakly, gasping for air. All of the strength in her body was used up on that cough, and she did not even have the strength to lift a finger.

After resting for a long while, Mu Qian finally said in a soft voice, "Asking about this West Chu was merely a pretense. This Emperor Zhou's true goal is to find out if the changes that have occurred in Xiao Ruo Ao during these past four years are related to me."

Hearing that, Xia Yue's face immediately changed, "Didn't Lord Jiang promise Prince that he would help hide the truth about Camping? Did he not go back on his word?" Other than Dong Fang Su, who knew the true situation of Mu Qian Xue, he was the only one. She would definitely not harm Princess, and that was why the first person Xia Yue thought of was Jiang Yue.

"It has nothing to do with Jiang Yue." Mu Qian Xue moved her body that had recovered a little, and leaned on the soft couch: "After I married him, Xiao Ruo Ao's strength advanced by leaps and bounds, and even the crown prince was defeated by him. Adding to the rumors of the past, it's impossible that the Emperor Zhou didn't have a single shred of doubt about this, ever since the time he asked King Rui to bring me to the palace to celebrate my birthday, he already had the intention of probing Xiao Ruo Ao."

Xia Yue's eyelids twitched, and said anxiously: "Then … What do we do now? Would the Emperor Zhou do us harm? Should we leave immediately? "

Faced with Xia Yue's chain of questions, Mu Qian Xue smiled and comforted him: "Since I'm sitting here, I'm naturally fine."

"That's good!" Xia Yue heaved a long sigh of relief, caressing the heart that was still beating wildly in her chest. Honestly speaking, she was afraid of escaping, she was as coarse as a blade of grass, she could survive wherever she went, but Princess was different. She had been poisoned by Xiao Ruo Ao for four whole years, and her body was so weak that even a gust of wind could blow her over.

After listening to Mu Qian Xue explain what happened to the Chengde Hall, Xia Yue suddenly said: "This servant understands, the Princess was doing it on purpose for Eunuch Huai En to see. As her trusted aide, she will definitely tell the Emperor Zhou about you trying to bribe him, and by doing so, the Emperor Zhou will be even more convinced that you are only mediocre.
