Today's Chu Lian Ruo, wearing a pale yellow long dress, such a beautiful color, actually added a lot of luster to her originally weak cheeks. Her red lips were slightly moist, and her eyes were full of autumn water, looking very pitiful. However, Xī Yáng knew that his side king consort was not as harmless as she appeared on the surface.
Chu Lian's smile was like a willow branch, her slender body bowed down as she said: "I have disturbed Your Highness, please forgive me. However, I have something to discuss with you."
Xia Si's smile paused for a moment, and he pointed to a position beside him, saying: "Sit."
As expected, this idle and dissolute prince had an entrancing mist in his eyes when he wasn't being reckless.
Chu Lian bowed again and walked to her seat, sitting down properly.
Xu Yang's fingers lightly tapped on the table, his expression calm as he opened his mouth: "What is it?"
Chu Lian looked at Xie Yang, her eyes calm as water: "I have to enter the palace tomorrow and I need your help with something, Your Highness."
The sound of knocking on the table suddenly stopped, and Xuyang's gaze fell on Chulianruo's eyes. Although it was just silence, it gave Chulianruo an invisible pressure.
Chu Lian's eyes were also calm and composed as she looked back.
After a moment, Xiang Yang finally spoke up and asked: "What do you want me to do?"
"Can the prince be sure to let the emperor go to the Imperial Garden tomorrow morning after the early court?" Chu Lianruo said with some hesitation, but still expressed her thoughts. This move seemed simple, but it was actually fraught with concerns, and even Xuyang might not have a good solution.
Xu Yang didn't respond, his fingers started tapping on the table again, as if he was deep in thought.
Chu Lianruo felt a bit discouraged, if this plan didn't work, she was afraid that she would have to think of other ways. Just as Chu Lianruo thought of telling Xuyang to think of another way if it didn't work, she saw Xuyang suddenly raise his head and say: "Good."
As soon as he finished saying those good words, Xuyang got up and left. He didn't ask her what she was going to do or why.
Chu Lian seemed slightly dazed for a moment before she also stood up and left.
On the second day, Chu Lianruo was ready early in the morning. Estimating the time, she took Qingqing and Siwei onto the carriage heading to the palace. No matter what method Xiang Yang used, since he had promised, he would definitely make it happen.
South of Shengjing is a fertile and rich land, but north of Shengjing has been plagued by years of drought, making it barren and poor. Moreover, the nomadic tribes in that area often invade and harass the border people, causing the northern region of Shengjing to be a place where people cannot make a living.
On the throne on the high platform, the young emperor wore a dragon robe, with a handsome face but slightly cold. At this time, he was looking at the memorial presented by the courtiers, his face full of anger.
"Preposterous." Xiurong couldn't help but toss the memorial to the ground in front of an elderly official, "A minor northern barbarian dares to repeatedly send troops to invade, is it because they think our court has no one?"
Xu Yang wore a red official robe, his eyes fell on the memorial on the ground, and with just one glance, he knew it was about the Northern Border. Five years ago, the Northern Border was originally in constant turmoil, and the barbarians were strong and skilled in horseback riding, exceling at cavalry battles, and no one in the court could respond to the challenge at that time.
At that time, Xurong had just ascended to the throne and was eager to eliminate dissenters. Wang Xuyang was a thorn in his side, so he sent out Wang Xuyang, who had never been on the battlefield before.
Fei Wang is still young, everyone knows the truth. This battle will definitely not be won. If Fei Wang dies on the battlefield, it would be in line with the current emperor's wishes. If he loses and runs back, that would also be considered cowardly, fleeing in fear of death, punishable by beheading.
