We know that Linfen is important, and Pei Yuanxiu also knows that.

Linfen, as the junction of the three places, can easily connect to the three places, but in turn, it is easy to become a target for several groups of people to attack together.

Now, this is the situation.

If I guessed correctly that team that came very quickly, it should be Lin Sheng's men. His power is in Shanxi, so we can easily find out our whereabouts and then immediately send people to pursue them. And the people coming from Xuchang no longer think that it must be the work of the Yuan family in Runan.

It seems that they have been looking for this opportunity. As soon as Pei Yuanhao moves, they all start to move.

Xiao Yusheng looked at me and said seriously: "Miss, if we leave now, I can barely protect the lady into Guanzhong. But I think the lady understands their marching speed very well. A little later, the whole of Linfen will be in a war. It will be difficult to leave at that time."

I looked up at him, but I felt a little confused: "Yusheng, have the people you sent out to find out about Qinghan?"

He shook his head gently.

"Not at all?"

"Miss should know that the senior brother is still very cautious. He can even get rid of those people."

"..." I frowned, and actually knew very well in my heart that since he left like this, he would definitely not want anyone to know where he went. Xiao Yusheng was in the way of order and would not interfere with his actions. I was silent for a long time before whispering: "Okay, I understand, you, go down first and let everyone prepare."

He said: "We're ready."

“…”

I looked up at him again.

Sure enough, they still have to do things much cleaner than me. I was still hesitating in my heart, and even had a lot of thoughts that were dragging on my mind, but they had already made all the preparations for leaving. I think, although I never thought that women were not physically weaker than men, now it seems that perhaps at some point, when making decisions, I was still not as firm and straightforward as men.

I said, "I will call Miaoyan when I go back, and the Queen will also go with me."

He said, "Then I will give the order."

I nodded and he turned and left.

I stood in the distance and hesitated for a while before walking out of the pavilion. However, this time I was much faster. I quickly returned to the room. Guer had already made his last bag and looked at the inner room from time to time to prevent himself from waking up Miaoyan. When I saw me going back, I hurried up and said, "Miss Yan, Your Highness the Princess is not awake yet."

"It's okay, I'll just wake her up."

She nodded, and there was a maid calling her outside, and maybe there was something else, so she accused me of the crime and walked out.

I had just walked to the bed and was about to bend down to call Miaoyan, but the door was pushed open again.

Chang Qing walked in from outside with a pale face.

As soon as I saw her, I immediately stood up and walked over anxiously. When she walked into the room, she was still a little dazed. She was about to stand steadily and shook twice. She looked up and saw me walking in front of me, and was stunned for a moment before saying, "You haven't prepared yet?"

"I'm about to wake up Miaoyan."

"oh."

She nodded, was silent for a moment, and said, "Okay, wake her up, it's time to leave."

“…”

I could feel her obvious loss of consciousness, more lost than ever, so I reached out and held her wrist and walked to the side to sit down, and whispered, "Empress, is the situation really that bad?"

She looked up at me and said, "Do you know everything?"

"Well, I have a source."

“…”

Speaking of this, her face was a little paler than when she entered the door. She hesitated for a moment before saying, "The three people are not far from Linfen now, and the earliest ones will arrive in the evening."

"It's coming so fast?"

"I don't understand the matter of the soldiers and generals, and the emperor is also--but I heard from Zhang Ziyu and the others that this matter should have been planned for a long time. They avoided the spy sent by Lord Zhang and have been hiding not far from Linfen, just waiting for the emperor to enter Linfen."

My brows suddenly became a pimple.

wrong.

Pei Yuanhao's whereabouts had always been very secret before. Even though we were in Taiyuan for so long, we didn't get any news when we were in the capital. Although I had a lot of speculations before, I only confirmed his location after seeing Qinghan. It is also certain that before leaving Taiyuan, Pei Yuanxiu did not know his whereabouts, otherwise Jingxing Pass would have been broken earlier.

But now, these people are already dormant around, waiting for Pei Yuanhao to come to Linfen.

They can mobilize troops in just a few days, or even set out from Xuchang across the border, but how could they know Pei Yuanhao's itinerary so clearly in just a few days?

Pei Yuanhao’s...itation!

Feeling my breathing sank, Chang Qing raised her head and looked at me, with many emotions flashing in her eyes, but she didn't say anything in the end, just said: "Mr. Zhang said that Linfen's battle is inevitable. Even if we leave immediately, there is no chance of entering Guanzhong safely."

“…”

"But the emperor... still hopes that we can leave, he wants to ensure our safety."

“…”

I was silent for a while, looked at Chang Qing and said, "Then, how did the Queen answer His Majesty?"

Her pale skin looked almost transparent under the dim light. Although there were many emotions in her eyes, she was slowly replaced by a kind of firmness.

She glanced at me and said, "I am here to urge you when I come back. Please bring Miaoyan away quickly."

"Where are you, Empress?"

"I...?" She seemed to smile, lowered her head and said slowly: "I am following the emperor to the capital, following the emperor to Taiyuan, and now following the emperor to Linfen. In the future, we will naturally have to follow the emperor to enter Guanzhong."

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "..." The answer is not unexpected, but I was still shocked by the gentle but firm gaze in Chang Qing's eyes.

I said softly: "Will the Queen accompany His Majesty with His Majesty?"

She was silent for a while before smiling and looking at me: "I am his queen."

“…”

After saying this, she smiled faintly and lowered her head.

She was still smiling, but my voice became a little hoarse and choked: "What if there is danger?"

She shook her head and didn't say anything.

I said again: "Why don't Your Majesty go together?"

Chang Qing looked at me for a while, then said, "Mr. Zhang and the others mean that the emperor is a body of gold and cannot take risks with his own life. From here, there is still a distance to enter Guanzhong. If the emperor rushed to Shaanxi and marched urgently, he would probably be obstructed by them. When the war broke out, some things would be difficult to say. The emperor was in Linfen and could still defend the city, but the emperor was in Linfen and the pursuers would not chase you..."

Although Chang Qing didn't understand what she said very well, I realized it quickly.

He stayed here to let Zhang Ziyu and the others protect themselves, and on the other hand, he could restrain those troops and not come to chase us.

"More importantly—" Chang Qing said: "People who enter Guanzhong can immediately go to Xi'an Prefecture to send troops to reinforce Linfen and protect the sage."

I frowned: "But it will take several days to get from Linfen to Xi'an Prefecture."

“…”

"Mr. Zhang, can he defend it?"

“…”

Chang Qing herself seemed a little hesitant. She shook her head and said, "I really know very little about the matter of soldiers and generals."

Indeed, although she was the daughter of the Grand Tutor, she was a daughter-in-law who had been raised since childhood. After entering the harem, she became the queen of Mother Yi Tianxia. Apart from now on, she had not had much bump in her life. She probably didn't even think about Xi'an Prefecture and soldiers and generals, but she could just listen to whatever Pei Yuanhao and Zhang Ziyu said.

But obviously, she was not without any worries. I watched her hold her hands together, her fingers tightly tangled, and scratched it on the back of her snow-white hands, and she was probably very distressed.

As a queen, she knew clearly what she should do.

But in her heart, human instinct also made her feel normal panic.

After a while, she looked up at me and said softly: "Qingying, the prince is in Xichuan, will he not be affected?"

“…”

I think she must be very helpless now. The prince is in Xichuan, thousands of miles away from here, so how could he be affected by the war here?

I comforted softly: "Please rest assured, Empress, Your Highness the Crown Prince will not have any problems."

Hearing me say this, she nodded and murmured hesitantly: "I am just worried that even the emperor's itinerary - then he must not have any surprises."

I said, "Don't worry about Empress, Nishikawa is very safe!"

She looked up at me, looked at the firm expression in my eyes, and finally nodded.

When she looked back at the inner room, she said, "Then, go and wake up Miaoyan. The people outside are almost ready, so you should--"

I thought about it and said, "Can you bother the Empress to wake up Miaoyan and tell her this?"

She looked at me: "You are—"

"There are some things that the young woman wants to ask the emperor."

She probably knew that I would do this, so she nodded quickly: "The emperor is in the study there. Lord Zhang and the others have already gone down to deploy. There should be no one now, so go quickly."

"Okay. Thank you, Empress."

She didn't say anything, but just forced a little smile, then got up and walked towards the bed. I looked back and hurried out of the room. As soon as I got out, I met Eunuch Yu.

He said: "Miss Yan, the emperor asked the old slave to come and invite you."

I smiled and said, "It just so happens that I want to go over and ask for the Emperor."

He glanced at me, nodded slightly, then turned around and made a "please" gesture, and I followed him to walk forward.

In the past two days since I arrived in Linfen, I had not had time to observe the official office well, nor did I have time to come out to see it. Even though the weather was already very warm, the flowers and trees everywhere gradually showed spring. The scenery was better than what we saw in the Jinhou Mansion of Taiyuan, but no one had the leisure to appreciate it.

I was taken to the entrance of the study by Eunuch Yu. The door was covered with a faint feeling. He raised his hand to me and stepped back.

I stepped forward and whispered at the door, "Your Majesty, the people's daughters are asking for a visit."

After a while of silence inside, his voice came: "Come in."

I pushed the door and walked in.

As soon as I entered the study, I saw a large pool of wet water stains on the ground, and some tea residues had not been completely cleaned. Perhaps just now, a tea cup was broken here.

When I looked up again, I saw him sitting at the desk.

There was not much on the table, but there were pens, ink, paper and inkstones, and a few reports. But I think the content of those reports was enough to crush the table.

He supported his forehead with one hand, and was kneading his eyebrows with his index finger and thumb. When I saluted him, he said, "How are you all ready."

I said, "Kaoer has already prepared all his luggage."

"Where is the wonderful words?"

"When the folk girl left, the queen went to call her."

“…”

He looked at me, then nodded, and said, "I have already given instructions. Your body is weak, so is Miaoyan. It is best to be careful along the way."

I frowned, held my hands together, and my fingers were twisted on the back of my hand and pulled deep marks, and I whispered: "Your Majesty, is the situation really that bad?"

He turned his head and looked at me, as if he was not surprised: "Do you know everything?"

I nodded.

He was silent for a moment, and then said, "I had expected that the journey would not be so smooth. I also know that when I arrived in Linfen, I would have some exposure to my behavior."

"Why?"

"Zhang Ziyu led the troops in Shanxi. In addition to Xi'an Prefecture, this is a large camp of the imperial soldiers. Even I can guess this."

“…”

I glanced at him and didn't say anything for the time being.

Shanxi and Shaanxi are indeed two major provinces for the imperial court to raise soldiers, but apart from these two places, the capital city should have the largest number of garrison troops. However, when I look at him, the number of soldiers around him is not enough for an emperor to travel normally. Qinghan had previously suspected his money and where his troops were going. Now it seems that there is no reason.

I was hesitating whether to mention this matter, Pei Yuanhao said again: "Have you talked to the queen?"

I hurriedly raised my head: "Yeah."

"You, please help me persuade her."

“…”

It seems that he did not agree with Chang Qing's decision to stay and accompany him.

I thought about it and said, "The Queen's will have decided. If the Min-girl can persuade her, then His Majesty would have told her to move."

“…”

He glanced at me, didn't say anything, and he felt a little reluctant.
