After a whole morning, I had almost no eyes closed last night. By the time I had lunch, I was tired and hungry and almost fainted. I was still careful and found that my face was not very good. I hurriedly sent me back to the official office. Miaoyan was also with me, holding my hand tightly along the way, and even when I got off the carriage, she held me.

Kou'er ran to the kitchen first and asked me to prepare meals immediately. I asked Miaoyan to help me walk on another way to my room a little.

Miaoyan said strangely: "Mom, what are we doing here?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Pei Yuanhao slowly walking out of the study in the yard in front of her. Zhang Ziyu followed him, lowering his head and saying something.

Almost subconsciously, Miaoyan immediately closed her mouth.

From a distance, I heard Pei Yuanhao say, "You just said that they might launch another strong attack in the past two days?"

Zhang Ziyu said: "If Weichen guessed correctly, there should be."

"What are you going to do now?"

"Weichen has asked them to step up the repair of the city gates and strengthen the weaker parts of the city walls."

“Food and grass…”

"Please rest assured, the emperor."

"Is there any news coming from Shaanxi?"

“Not yet.”

"If you estimate that their reinforcements will arrive the fastest?"

"If we want to transfer all our troops and transport food and grass, it will take at least ten days."

"In more than ten days? In more than ten days, can Linfen City resist their second wave of attacks?"

"As long as nothing unexpected happens, Linfen City can definitely persist in getting reinforcements from Shaanxi to come."

“…”

Pei Yuanhao slowly turned his head to look at him. Neither the king nor the minister spoke. After a while of silence, Pei Yuanhao said, "Okay, I understand, you go down."

"I'm going to leave."

Zhang Ziyu leaned over to salute and then retreated from the other side.

I saw Pei Yuanhao still standing there, not moving for a long time, and his shoulders seemed to have some invisible burden on them. Even if he didn't say anything, he could feel some of the dull aura emitted from his body.

Zhang Ziyu said that as long as nothing unexpected happens, Linfen City can persist in getting reinforcements from Shaanxi.

But on the battlefield, any accident can happen.

Moreover, Miaoyan and Kouer may not be able to see it, but I have experienced the war in Dongzhou City after all. From the extent of the city gates and the traces left on the city wall, I can see that the battle last night was even more fierce and tragic than Luo Shi's attack on Dongzhou City, which led to so many casualties.

Zhang Ziyu said that they would gather a second strong attack in a short period of time, obviously wanting to give us another fatal blow before our vitality recovers.

If Lin Sheng’s team arrives again at this time, then—

Feeling my hand trembling slightly, Miaoyan raised his head and looked at me: "Mom, what's wrong with you?"

Her voice was not small. Pei Yuanhao on the other side immediately turned around and saw the two of us, and walked over: "You are back."

Miaoyan hurriedly saluted him: "My son pays homage to his father."

I also gave a tribute. Pei Yuanhao reached out to help her up and looked at me again: "Is this bad-looking face? Are you tired?"

I lowered my head and said, "A little bit."

"You should take care of your body first and then other things."

“…”

"Don't go past the afternoon and have a good rest. Seeing you like this, I'm afraid I didn't sleep last night?"

"Actually, it's okay."

As soon as I said this, his brows immediately frowned and he said in a heavier tone: "Go back and rest quickly, Miaoyan, look at your mother, don't allow her to go out again."

"ah?"

I was stunned for a moment, and Miaoyan immediately responded: "I understand!"

After saying that, he immediately turned around and held my hand, saying, "Mom, go back and rest soon. My father has issued an order."

I was pulled away by her with a wry smile, and on the other side, someone sent me a note, and Pei Yuanhao also turned around and returned to his study.

When I returned to the room, Miaoyan pressed it to the table and stuffed a bowl of rice. I drank half a bowl of soup. They pressed it on the bed and went to sleep for a while. Fortunately, when I woke up, there was no one in the room. I asked someone to come over and ask. After Miaoyan took a break for a while, she took the people out again.

I was a little worried. They replied that they had asked Pei Yuanhao and sent a few people to follow me so that I didn't have to worry.

I was relieved.

Then he ordered: "Go and call Zhesheng for me."

After a while, Zhesheng stood outside the door and asked for a meeting. I opened the door and asked him in. Seeing a little tiredness on his face, he looked at his unclean corners and cuffs, and asked, "Are you going out to help?"

He nodded and asked, "Senior Sister Yan is asking me for something?"

I was silent for a moment before saying, "Zhesheng, you said before that you found the fine works that were mixed into Linfen City in a dilapidated temple in the south of the city, but in fact, you did not find everyone, right?"

"Yes." He nodded and said seriously: "At that time we only followed some of them, and some of them were hiding elsewhere in the city."

"Then, did they do anything afterward?"

"Later? When there was a fierce battle at the city gate that night, they should have all been dispatched."

"Really?"

"I can be sure of this because I went to compete with one of the soldiers under Lord Zhang, and they also questioned the living people they caught, and it was basically here."

"...In other words, there should be no detailed work sent by the capital in the city now?"

"It should be like this. Even if there are, there will definitely not be many people-" he thought for a while and said, "I have just experienced two major battles, and those detailed works should be hidden."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! "...Hmm."

I nodded gently. Seeing that my brow was still contemplating, Zhesheng asked me, "Senior Sister, is there anything wrong?"

I thought about it and smiled, "It's nothing, maybe, it's just that I'm too sensitive."

But he did not relax because of my words, but instead took a step forward: "Sister sister is in the city, and she has found traces of those detailed works?"

I was silent for a moment and said, "I'm not sure, but what I'm worried about is that there are some rumors about circulating in the city."

"Are you going to incite those ordinary people to go out of the city again?"

"No, this time not."

"no?"

He looked at me in a slight shock.

I said, "This time, it may be related to your Senior Brother Liu."

Zhesheng was surprised and frowned and said, "Senior Brother Liu? He is not in Linfen now. What does the rumors have to do with him?"

“…”

Actually, this is something I have been wondering about.

If these rumors are inciting the people and criticizing Pei Yuanhao, then they are naturally not conducive to the persistence of Linfen City, but the center of the rumors is a person who is completely out of the city. Why?

If it is really the meticulous works from the capital that are still in trouble, then what is the purpose of "praising" Qinghan like this?

If their purpose is to criticize Pei Yuanhao, then they should have many incitement rhetoric, but why did they choose to suppress Pei Yuanhao by winning Liu Qinghan's reputation? I don't think this is a good way, let alone think that Pei Yuanxiu would allow them to use this method.

Maybe there is something wrong with this, I didn't see clearly...

Just as I frowned and fell into deep thought, Zhesheng took a step forward and looked at me with deep brows: "Senior Sister Yan."

I looked up at him: "Hmm?"

"You, do you believe in Senior Brother Liu?"

"certainly."

“…”

"I definitely believe him."

"That's good. No matter what rumors are, as long as you still believe him, it's easy to deal with. I can take my junior brothers to investigate this matter. We are not from the government and there is little movement. If someone really intends to spread rumors about my senior brother in the city, we should be able to find clues."

"Okay," I nodded: "I just kept worrying that there was a war outside now, and the government could no longer draw any personnel, and the emperor, he, has always been skeptical about Qinghan. I don't want him to know about this anymore, and it will be a problem."

"I understand, leave this to us."

"Then be careful." I said solemnly: "If someone really intends to incite rumors in the city, then they may be hiding deeper and more hidden than the group of people you found before. Don't be discovered by them."

"knew."

After saying that, Tshesheng turned around and walked out.

Seeing him retreating the door, and I was about to go back and rest, I heard Zhesheng stop at the door: "Empress?"

I was stunned, and quickly turned around and saw a thin figure slowly appearing at the door.

It's really Chang Qing?

Hasn't she been "recalling her mistakes behind closed doors"? Why did she come here?

I hurriedly stood up and walked over. Chang Qing had probably not been out for several days. Her face was a little pale, but she was still in good spirits. She just waved to Tsawa gently: "You go down and do your business, I come over and talk to her."

Zhesheng hesitated for a moment, looked back at me, and saw me nodding and suggesting that he would do what he should do, so he bowed and retreated.

Chang Qing walked in slowly.

I saluted her, and then smiled and said, "The Queen is not--"

"The Emperor asked me to think about my mistakes in the closed doors, and it's almost the same today."

“…”

"The situation is not very good now, and we shouldn't pile everything on you. So, I asked the emperor for instructions."

"Oh, so that's it."

She looked at me with a smile: "Do you think I will make decisions without asking the emperor for anything?"

“…”
