The next two days passed quietly. Although I could feel that some people in the city were in a state of turmoil, nothing major happened.

I didn't let Miaoyan go out anymore. After all, the situation inside and outside the city is unclear. We don't know what forces the people in the city sent and what purpose they are. Miaoyan stayed obediently in the mansion to guard me, reading books in his spare time and enjoying the beautiful scenery in the garden. Time flies very quickly.

In the blink of an eye, two days passed.

That night, Pei Yuanhao came here to have dinner with us. Miaoyan bit the chopsticks and looked at him: "Father, you have lost a lot of weight recently."

"Yeah?"

Pei Yuanhao was stunned when he heard this, and subconsciously reached out and touched his face. I also looked up at him. Sure enough, he was thinner than when he was in the capital before, and his cheeks were slightly sunken, which made his outline look sharper, and even heavier than when he was young in the past.

But when he turned his head to look at Miaoyan, his eyes were gentle, and he smiled and said, "No one told me?"

"Because none of them care about my father as much as I do."

Miaoyan said, and picked up a piece of meat for him and put it into a bowl: "Father, eat more."

Pei Yuanhao smiled and enjoyed the little love his daughter gave him.

I also smiled at the scene of the two of them being kind and filial to their father, and even though I still wanted to ask Pei Yuanhao, tomorrow is the last day of the deadline, what is he going to do?

Miaoyan and I stayed in the official office in the past two days very well and did not go to the city gate again. We didn’t know the news about the military camp, but I wanted to know whether to fight or what.

However, seeing the two of them having fun in this way, they couldn't bear to speak up and break the atmosphere.

Until dinner, Kou'er brought some sweet soup. Eunuch Yu was waiting at the door. Zhang Ziyu and the others asked to meet again in the study. Pei Yuanhao finished a bowl of sweet soup in a few sips, and then stood up. I was about to say something, but he looked down at me and said, "Tonight, you can sleep with Miaoyan, don't have to go back to your room."

"..." I was stunned for a moment.

He seemed to have never cared about where I slept, so why did he suddenly say that today?

I seemed to realize something, but before I could ask, he said, "If there is a little noise at night, you don't come out."

After saying this, he left.

Miaoyan and I stood up and sent him off. After he walked out, Miaoyan turned around and said with a little puzzled look: "Mom, is there a little noise tonight? Is something going on?"

It seems that she also realized that Pei Yuanhao would not have any trivial matters.

But I just smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's all right, it's all right, there's my mother here."

"Um."

She smiled with her eyes bent and continued to lower her head to drink her sweet soup.

We finished washing up early in the evening, turned off the lights and went to bed. Miaoyan still liked to get into my arms as before. Although she was almost overwhelmed by the pressure, but realizing that my daughter was growing up day by day, I might have less and less time in the future, so I would rather get close to her and hold her with one hand.

After a while, she fell asleep, and the sound of her gentle breathing sounded evenly in her ears.

My daughter was in my arms, and I was actually a little tired, but thinking about what Pei Yuanhao said before, I still subconsciously kept a hint of clarity. But tonight, there was no other movement except for the noisy style. Because Miaoyan was lying in my arms, I couldn't get out of bed and open the window to see what was going on outside.

The wind blew the lanterns under the eaves, and the light and shadows were shaking on the window paper. As I looked, I slowly closed my eyes.

Sleep came like a tide and soon swallowed me.

Pei Yuanhao said before that it might be quarrels at night, but this night seemed particularly quiet, and there was no movement to wake me up. I just occasionally felt like I opened my eyes and saw the bright red light emitted by the lanterns under the eaves outside the window, burning in my dream like flames.

But the next moment, I didn't know whether I was awake or not, and I fell into a deep sleep in a daze.

This sleep made me sleep very hard.

But when I opened my eyes again, I heard that something big happened in Linfen City.

General Deng led a team out of the city and sneaked into the enemy's camp!

When I heard this news, it was still dark, and Miaoyan was still lying on my chest and whispering. I could only barely hear the sound of Kouer and a little eunuch talking in a low voice outside the window. I carefully carried Miaoyan aside. She smacked her lips and turned over to continue sleeping. When I put on my clothes and pushed the door and walked out, I happened to see Kouer's eyes wide open in surprise and stretched out her hand to cover her mouth.

When they heard the sound of me pushing open the door, both of them turned their heads and immediately said, "Miss Yan."

At this time, it was probably not until the hour of Mao, and the surroundings were pitch black. Only when the light emitted by a few lanterns under the eaves near and far shone on their faces could they see the surprised expressions of the two of them clearly.

I looked back and didn't wake up Miaoyan, so I closed the door with my back hand, walked over and asked, "What are you two just talking about? What am I sneak attacking? What happened?"

Seeing that I had heard it, the little eunuch did not hide it: "Miss Yan, Lord Zhang sent several generals and teams out of the city to sneak attack the enemy camp last night."

"real?"

I was shocked. I thought that at this time, the defenses in the city were tightening, but I didn’t expect that under such circumstances, Zhang Ziyu would take the initiative to attack outside, which was unimaginable!

I asked hurriedly, "Sneak attack? Then, was it successful?" But before the little eunuch could answer my question, Eunuch Yu walked over from the side. When he saw the little eunuch talking to me, he immediately came over and pointed at him and cursed, "You are going to die, which has disturbed His Highness the Princess and Miss Yan. Do you see if the emperor cut off your head?"

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! The little eunuch was so scared that he hugged his head and retreated.

I asked hurriedly: "Eunuch Yu, Lord Zhang sent someone to attack the enemy camp?"

Eunuch Yu said justice: "The emperor was worried that the princess and Miss Yan would be disturbed, so he asked me to come and take a look. Miss Yan, please don't worry, there was no accident."

"Then, did the sneak attack succeed?"

Eunuch Yu looked at Kua'er again with a face, and Kua'er silently retreated aside. He said, "Miss Yan, I cannot ask more about these things."

He was quite mature and steadfast, and at this time he was still strictly adhering to the ancient saying that he could not interfere in politics.

I said, "But I'm not asking about other things. Whether the sneak attack was successful or not is not a big deal!"

Eunuch Yu glanced at me and saw that I was already anxious, so he finally shook his head gently.

My heart sank.

The sneak attack failed?!

If this is the case, wouldn’t the enemy outside the city be angry?

Seeing that my face was pale due to anxiety, Eunuch Yu said, "The emperor asked me to come and see. No matter what happened, Miss Yan and His Highness the Princess should not be panicked. If Miss Yan wants to go there-"

I immediately said, "I want to come over to meet Your Majesty!"

I really didn't expect that they would have this incident, but the sneak attack on the enemy camp failed. So wouldn't Linfen City be retaliated by the other party today? Even if the enemy needs adjustment today, the people in the city are not blind or deaf. Knowing that the sneak attack has failed, anyone can guess that the other party may have to take revenge next, so how could they not be panicked?

Then, Linfen City will be in chaos!

I have to go there, at least I have to know what Pei Yuanhao plans to do next?

When Eunuch Yu heard that I was going to see the emperor immediately, she did not stop her. She just asked Kuoer to come over to wash me and reported to me that when I returned to the room, Miaoyan was still asleep. After I finished tidying up my clothes and washing up, I went directly to that side. Pei Yuanhao was not in his room or in the study, but sat on a higher balcony in the garden.

Why is he here?

I walked up slowly and saw a bowl of hot tea on the stone table in the middle of the lantern. He held the jade in one hand and rubbed it slowly. His eyes looked into the distance. The sky was still dark. The little eunuch who led me over turned around and left with the lantern. It almost fell into darkness. Only the light emitted by the lanterns everywhere in the garden allowed me to vaguely recognize his outline.

I walked over and saluted him softly: "Your Majesty."

He didn't look back, just said, "You know, too."

I frowned slightly and immediately wanted to ask him why he did this, but I felt that after experiencing this failure, I immediately ran over to ask, with a little "question" meaning, I was afraid that it would annoy him.

So, I said softly: "I just heard about it."

At this time, he slowly turned around and looked at me: "Do you think it's strange, why am I so impulsive?"

"..." I thought about it and said, "I believe that your Majesty has the reason for doing this."

“…”

"only--"

"But, am I still too impulsive?"

“…”

I thought about the words for a long time before I said softly: "I don't understand the matter of generals and soldiers. I just heard that I have to seek danger. However, it depends on what kind of danger it is."

He looked at my cautious look and curled the corners of his lips slightly.

I thought he wanted to explain why he did this, but he didn't say anything, just turned his head and looked into the distance.

He held the jade hand and pointed a finger gently.

It seems like waiting for something.

I stood behind him, thought for a while, and subconsciously looked at the dark sky in the distance along his gaze.
