Chapter 321 My Brother-in-law is So Handsome
After leaving the palace, Chu Nanyue went to the Changping Marquis Mansion. Now, her elder brother is the youngest marquis in Beixiao Kingdom, so of course he has to live in their old residence, the Changping Marquis Mansion.
A pregnancy will make a woman stupid for three years. Her brain was not enough, so she came to ask her eldest brother for advice.
"A Yue is here. I was just looking for you to go to Longyue Pavilion to pick out some fabrics for the child." As soon as Su Xi saw her, she smiled and hugged her.
Chu Nanyue immediately forgot about the business: "Let's go, I was just thinking of making some clothes for the kids."
Xiao Tao held her forehead with her hand: "...Princess, didn't you come here to see the Marquis?"
Chu Nanyue smiled awkwardly: "Yes, sister-in-law, is brother here?"
Su Xi smiled helplessly: "Ever since your elder brother became the Minister of Dali Temple, he has wanted to stay there all day and all night."
Chu Nanyue pretended to curse: "Really, how can you be like this, big brother? You actually left your beautiful sister-in-law alone, what the hell is living in that Dali Temple full of rough men......"
As she was talking about this, a gust of cold wind came. Looking at the stunning face revealed by the veil being blown away, she immediately said with a crazy look on her face: "...Sister-in-law, is your face okay?"
It seems like we haven't seen each other for a few days, right?
Su Xi subconsciously touched her face, then quickly put down her veil: "It seems that I have recovered faster recently, but the scar is still there. I applied a thick layer of powder to barely cover it up."
Chu Nanyue took a step forward: "Let me show it to my sister-in-law."
Seeing this, Su Xi stopped being shy and immediately took off her veil and led her to sit down.
Chu Nanyue first felt her pulse, and after making sure that the fetus was stable, he reached out and touched her face, and said in surprise: "You recovered much faster than I thought. Maybe your metabolism has accelerated after pregnancy, or maybe it's simply... Sister-in-law is well nourished by Brother..."
Hearing this, Su Xi's face quickly turned red. She knocked Chu Nanyue's forehead in annoyance, then quickly put her veil back on.
Chu Nanyue held her forehead and said with resentment: "Don't knock. My brain is not enough when I'm pregnant. Don't knock me stupid later..."
Unexpectedly, before she could finish her words, she was hit on the head again, and this time the force was obviously much greater than that of Su Xi just now. She looked up and saw that someone was not only helping his wife to hit her, but also helping her to hurt her.
"Thought leads to wisdom, wisdom leads to saintliness. What does Ah Yue's stupidity have to do with your sister-in-law's knock?"
Su Xi couldn't stop smiling.
Chu Ziyu was stunned for a moment, then slowly took off her veil: "Xi'er, Ah Yue is right, the scar is invisible unless you look closely, so don't wear a veil in the future."
Su Xi smiled: "Okay."
Looking at the two people who were trying to show off their affection, Chu Nanyue sighed: "...Woo, I miss my prince. Okay, you guys chat, I'll come back another day!"
After saying this, she pretended to leave. Fortunately, Su Xi did not forget her friend because of her beauty and called her back: "Ayue, don't you have something to do with your elder brother?"
Chu Ziyu then said with a serious face: "Let's go inside and talk."
After hearing Chu Nanyue's words, Chu Ziyu smiled faintly: "The murders committed by the Queen's party are really too numerous to list."
When he said this, a chill ran down his body.
You wouldn't know until you tried them. Recently, he tried some old cases under Yao Wenhong's command and found that in addition to the Chu family case, there were countless unjust, false and wrongful convictions, in which innocent people were wrongly killed while the real murderers were at large.
Originally, he was going to sentence him to death according to the Beixiao laws, but the emperor sent Jiang Shou to convey his order, saying that since Yao Wenhong had no merits but had worked hard, he should be spared and allowed to retire and return home.
He could not disobey the emperor's order, so he could only take advantage of the jailer's torture and cripple his two legs for personal revenge!
If he could live on as long as he could, it would be a comfort to the spirits of his parents in heaven.
Just when he felt relieved, he heard Chu Nanyue mention that the Queen was also trying to make trouble in the palace.
"Ayue, I think the Queen's move is not aimed at Concubine Rong, but at you."
"Me?" Chu Nanyue frowned.
Chu Ziyu nodded and analyzed calmly: "The poison given to Concubine Rong was not fatal, and it happened at the critical moment when Prince Ning broke his leg..."
Chu Nanyue suddenly realized: "I know, she wants to force me to take the initiative to treat Prince Ning's leg!"
Chu Ziyu nodded again: "Parents love their children, so they can do anything crazy. Of course, the queen may have other intentions, wanting to disturb the King of Yan who is thousands of miles away, so that he can't concentrate on fighting the war..."
Chu Nanyue understood instantly again.
Prince Yan is the god of war of the Northern Xiao Kingdom, but if he loses the battle, all his years of hard work will be in vain, which will lead to a series of butterfly effects. By then, he may no longer have a place in the Northern Xiao Kingdom.
Society is so cruel. It will give special preferential treatment to some people, but will not allow any mistakes to others.
Thinking of this, her eyes flashed with sharpness: "What is it? We will know once we try..."
Chu Ziyu nodded thoughtfully...
Although the old emperor immediately ordered to keep the news of Concubine Rong's poisoning secret, it still reached the border between Beixiao and Nanye, thousands of miles away.
It was a dark and bleak night.
Inside the tent, Xiao Hanye asked Feng Chuan while practicing his men's sand table.
"What do you think the Queen wants to do?"
Feng Chuan thought about it, and then replied: "What your Highness thinks coincides with yours!"
Xiao Hanye glared at him: "How dare you to pry into my mind."
Feng Chuan smiled, not afraid but handed him a flag: "A subordinate who does not pry into the master's mind is not a good subordinate."
Xiao Hanye took the flag from his hand and threw it. The flag was firmly stuck in a very winding gully. "This is a very easy place for an ambush. Be careful in the battle tomorrow." After a pause, he added quietly, "Since you are an excellent subordinate, I will send you to fight the first battle tomorrow. If you lose, you will be punished by military law!"
Hearing this, Feng Chuan immediately accepted the order solemnly: "Yes, Your Majesty, I obey your command!"
The next day, flags were flying and drums were beating.
The two armies faced each other, half black and half red, forming a charming color in the bleak and dangerous atmosphere that was about to break out.
Xiao Hanye sat in the chariot. He did not fight in person, but sent Feng Chuan to fight!
When Prince Ye Xiu of the Southern Ye saw that Xiao Hanye did not go into battle in person, he sent out his most capable general, a very sturdy general.
The sturdy general was called Mo Gandang, and he was the most sturdy man in Nanye Kingdom. As a result, he had immense strength and could kill a wild beast with one punch.
He was as strong as a mountain, and even the horse he sat on was bigger than an ordinary horse. No one knew where he found it from. He held a pair of meteor hammers in his hands. Just looking at Fengchuan gave people a feeling of being crushed by a mountain. His powerful appearance made people sigh.
Mo Gandang swung the meteor hammer and hit Fengchuan on the head. Fengchuan narrowed his eyes and although he narrowly avoided it, he still did not forget to return the shot.
However, due to the disparity in strength, his shot not only failed to work, but he was thrown out with great force and almost fell off his horse.
Seeing this, the crown prince of Nanye, Ye Xiu, slowly raised his lips to smile: "Thanks to the talented people that Master has gathered, otherwise, if this crown prince and Master had not personally fought, we would definitely not be the opponent of Feng Chuan."
Although he is the crown prince of Nanye Kingdom, his mother's family comes from merchants and his status is not stable. He lives on precarious ground. Recently, the old emperor has been listening to someone's slander and is considering changing the crown prince.
Only then did he follow his master's advice and secretly instigated the soldiers to provoke the Beixiao Kingdom in order to divert the conflict. As long as he won the battle between the two armies, his position in the Nanye Kingdom would be at its peak in the future and no one would be able to shake it.
His master is Chu Zhaoyu.
Back then, with the help of his appearance exactly like Chu Zhaoming, he easily stole the secrets of the Beixiao army and defected to the Nanye Kingdom, thus gaining the trust of the Nanye Kingdom. Later, he discerningly selected the powerless Ye Xiu, and assisted him to become the crown prince step by step. Now, the entire Nanye Kingdom is at his disposal.
This time he will make sure Xiao Hanye never returns!
From now on, no one can shake An'er's position!
"Crown Prince, now that the war has begun, we need to make a concerted effort to defeat the Northern Xiao Kingdom. Then we won't have to pay tribute to them every year!" His eyes were full of ambition and calculation.
Xiao Hanye on the opposite side stared at the extremely dangerous fight in front of him with a calm face. It seemed that there was no suspense, but in fact, there was a lot of suspense.
Mo Gan Dang's strength is indeed amazing. Every time he swings the meteor hammer, it carries an unstoppable momentum. However, Feng Chuan is like a nimble leopard. He can always dodge his attacks at the most critical moment and counterattack cleverly.
Of course, if Fengchuan could not escape, he would really be beheaded. After all, this is both the suppression of absolute power and the cruelty of the battlefield.
Sure enough, after an incense stick of time, the seemingly predictable situation took a turn. The breathless Mo Gandang began to look a little impatient, but Feng Chuan remained calm. He suddenly turned around and swung his spear like a dragon out of the sea, so fast that Mo Gandang had no time to dodge, or perhaps he was too thick-skinned to dodge at all.
But he didn't expect that the spear that seemed to have no deterrent power would pierce his armpit directly.
Mo Gan Dang cried out in pain, and his huge body fell to the ground with a loud bang, and a cry of surprise suddenly rang out on the battlefield.
The commanders of the two armies waved their hands at the same time to start the fight, and shot two arrows almost at the same time. The cold arrows shot by Xiao Hanye and Chu Zhaoyu collided mercilessly with each other, creating a fascinating light.
There was a sharp gleam in the eyes of both of them as they looked at each other.
Both of them wanted to kill each other, but this was not an individual battle, and neither could fly to the other. They could only ride on their horses and fight hard to kill the enemy.
Xiao Hanye swung his spear and stabbed Mo Gandang's head with it, which immediately boosted the morale of the soldiers of the Northern Xiao Kingdom. He shouted, "Follow me to kill the enemy!" and rushed into the enemy camp first. Wherever he went, the enemy soldiers fell one after another...
This extremely powerful crushing immediately undermined the confidence of the Nanye soldiers, so even after the subsequent counterattack by the Nanye Crown Prince and Chu Zhaoyu, they still couldn't recover...
Looking at the increasing number of red-clad soldiers falling, Ye Xiu could only shout, "Retreat!"
What made him angry was that Xiao Hanye did not pursue the victory, but instead called back his troops, which made his ambush in Wanling Mountain go to waste...
This first battle was a great victory for the Northern Xiao Kingdom.
Fengchuan and Qin Siang counted the soldiers, and together with the 100,000 border troops of Zhenyuan Hou, there were a total of 400,000 troops, and the number of casualties was less than 30,000.
A rough estimate of the losses of Nanye Nation is that if not 50,000, then at least 40,000, and they were all dead...
This shows how brilliantly they won this first battle.
Su Xun still helped to pick up weapons. At this time, his admiration for King Yan was already beyond words.
The words he spoke were full of saliva: "My brother-in-law is so handsome. I learned a new trick today. The unexpected and the speed are the essence of war..."
Jiang Yan couldn't help but tease: "You have more than one trick. Training soldiers thousands of miles away only takes a moment. In the end, you still have to experience the fighting on the battlefield to gain experience."
Su Xun's eyes sparkled: "Well, when I grow up a little more, my adoptive father and brother-in-law will allow me to go to the battlefield!"
In the future, he will definitely help his brother-in-law guard the border of their Beixiao Kingdom like his adoptive father did!
The good news that Prince Yan won the first battle soon reached the court. The old emperor was so pleased that he stayed in Concubine Rong's palace for several days. This made Chu Nanyue very worried.
While she was helping Concubine Rong detoxify, she just kowtowed to him. In the end, she felt dizzy and her head hurt. She simply held her stomach and pretended to be listless. Only then did the old emperor exempt her from paying her respects.
Xiao Yihang looked at Chu Nanyue who was becoming increasingly haggard, and said with a worried look on his face: "Fourth sister-in-law, why don't you go back home and rest first? I can see that you don't look very well."
The Queen was also understanding when she saw this and said, "Princess Yan, don't be so stubborn. Don't forget that you are pregnant with two dragon heirs!"
Chu Nanyue hesitated for a while, then said, "Then I'll have to trouble my mother to send someone to escort me back home."
The Queen's eyes lit up, and she immediately followed her out of Rongfei Palace.
Arriving at the Queen's bedroom, Chu Nanyue knelt down with a plop and said with a tired face: "Mother, please give me the antidote for your mother. I am willing to treat Prince Ning's leg. If I continue to guard day and night like this, not only will I not be able to save your mother, but even the two fetuses in my belly will be sacrificed. Wuuwuwu... Why hasn't Prince Yan come back yet... Wuuwu..."
After she finished speaking, she sat down on the ground and wailed, her shoulders twitching and she felt extremely aggrieved.
The queen was overjoyed, but still pretended to be surprised and said, "Princess Yan, what are you doing? I am very pleased that you can take the initiative to treat Prince Ning's leg, but please don't put this false charge on my head!"
Chu Nanyue stopped crying, got up and was about to leave: "If that's the case, then forget it. It seems that I suspected the wrong person. I will go find the next one to cry to!"
Seeing that she was really about to leave, the Queen had no choice but to call her back, and said meaningfully: "Since Princess Yan is willing to treat Rui'er's leg, then I will naturally find a famous doctor to come and detoxify Princess Rong!"
Chu Nanyue said with a vigilant look on her face: "Then please trouble my mother to detoxify my mother first. I am the most trustworthy person."
The Queen naturally did not trust her, and finally the two of them gave each other a personal token before they reached an agreement.
Unexpectedly, the next day, in front of the Queen, Chu Nanyue directly presented the Jade Phoenix Hairpin to the Emperor: "Please Father, please make the decision. This time my mother was poisoned, and the Queen was the mastermind behind it. She intended to disturb the Prince of Yan's mood and destroy our great land of Beixiao!"
The queen was stunned: "!!!"
