Traveling to the ancient harem

Chapter 419: Teaching the Emperor a Lesson

Royal study room.

After the emperor left the court, he had been reviewing memorials in the imperial study.

The war situation in the South is now in a stalemate.

Originally, General Yu Lei's 200,000 troops were divided into two routes to defeat the armies of Prince Zhennan and the Kingdom of Nanzhao one by one.

The army that directly confronted the rebels of Prince Zhennan was the direct army led by Yu Lei himself to pacify the northern grassland tribes.

Many of them had been to the battlefield and seen blood.

So at the beginning, they defeated the King of Zhennan's army step by step.

The one who directly faced the Nanzhao army was Yu Lei himself.

Although Nanzhao was a small country, their soldiers were short and flexible, had strong mobility, and were good at guerrilla warfare.

At the beginning, they took advantage of the terrain to launch an ambush, causing heavy casualties to the Great Xia Dynasty's army.

But General Yu Lei was no pushover and he quickly adjusted his battle plan.

The situation on the battlefield is constantly changing.

The army of the Great Xia Dynasty relied on its numerical advantage and rich combat experience.

The Nanzhao Kingdom quickly found itself at a disadvantage and was on the verge of being unable to resist.

It was at this time that the people of Nanzhao began to poison the water.

The poison was put in wells and rivers near the army.

The army of the Great Xia Dynasty had no military doctors who were particularly good at using poisons, so countless soldiers died.

That's why there was a memorial requesting the emperor to send imperial physicians to the front line for support.

In other words, the fighting on the front line has ceased, and General Yu Lei is waiting for the court to send someone over.

The armies of Prince Zhennan and Nanzhao took this opportunity to catch their breath.

That Yu Lei beat them badly.

If it weren't for the poison, they might have been forced back to their lair by now.

Strictly speaking, the current Prince of Zhennan has been driven back to his lair.

His direct troops have retreated to their previous bases.

As for the cities they had captured before, they had long been recaptured by the Great Xia Dynasty.

"The prince has been gone for four days, hasn't he?"

The emperor raised his head and asked Eunuch Yu.

"Your Majesty, today is the fourth day."

Eunuch Yu replied quickly.

Like the emperor, he also counts the days to live.

Now the soldiers on the front line are busy dealing with the endless poisoning methods of the Nanzhao Kingdom.

The earlier Ye Jieyu's master arrives, the earlier the army's soldiers can be guaranteed safety.

To put it bluntly, poisons that can be administered in large quantities are not particularly toxic and will not kill people immediately.

As long as the poisoned person can be saved as long as the treatment is available and given in time.

"Four days. If it's as Concubine Ye said, the prince should have arrived at Fanjing Mountain..."

The emperor muttered.

"Ye Jieyu said that the prince will arrive in three days. Her master may have already left for the south."

Mr. Yu said happily.

"Well, the prince is a capable person...Ye Jieyu and her master are also..."

Thinking of the yellow leaves, the emperor's mood obviously improved a lot.

This time, with the help of Huang Shuye's master, he will definitely not let Nan Zhao go.

As for the Prince of Zhennan, he is now a dead man in the emperor's heart.

He is just a traitor and a rebel; his death is not a pity.

pity…

The emperor felt sorry that the abbot of Fuyun Temple had gone out traveling. He had wanted to hear his advice.

That old monk is very knowledgeable.

At this time, Xiao Yinzi ran in with a smile on his face to report.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Ye requests an audience."

"Let her in."

The emperor interrupted him before he could finish his report.

"From now on, whenever Concubine Ye comes, you don't need to report it, just let her in directly."

The emperor added another sentence.

"Yes, I understand."

Xiao Yinzi quickly ran out again.

He told Huang Ye, who was waiting at the steps of the imperial study, the good news.

Huang Ye was also moved when he heard the emperor's words.

The emperor is good to her, so even if it is just a return of favor, she must do her best to protect the emperor.

If the emperor were gone... Huang Ye felt that his good days were over.

Seeing Huang Ye coming in from outside, Eunuch Yu hurriedly welcomed her to sit down on the chair.

The emperor said that she didn't need to bow when no one was around, so Huang Ye didn't act pretentiously.

Eunuch Yu was a very good person. She arranged a seat for Huang Ye next to the desk where the emperor reviewed memorials.

This makes it much easier for the emperor and empress to talk.

Eunuch Yu praised himself in his heart for his cleverness.

"Why are you coming here at this time?"

The emperor knew Huang Ye very well. If there was nothing wrong, she would not come to the imperial study.

"That's right, I'm worried about Concubine Liang..."

Huang Ye said straight to the point.

"Oh, why... did you suddenly think of her?"

What the emperor wanted to say was, hadn’t they discussed it before and decided to wait for her to expose herself?

"Your Majesty, this is an extraordinary period. Fighting in the front is important, but we must also be on guard against the tactics of those people in the rear."

Huang Ye looked serious.

"The people of Nanzhao are the best at poisoning. They can poison our soldiers at the front..."

"And who can guarantee that they won't attack you?"

Huang Ye looked at the emperor's face, that was the face she could never get enough of looking at in her previous life.

She doesn't want to lose this person again in her life.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Ye's worries are not unreasonable. That Concubine Liang..."

When Eunuch Yu heard Huang Ye say this, he suddenly became anxious.

"So far, we know of only a few people who can take action against the emperor."

Huang Ye expressed his opinion.

"Whether His Majesty believes what Concubine Lin said or not, I do believe it anyway. As for Concubine Liang... I am worried about her..."

"When did I say I didn't believe you?"

The emperor was very dissatisfied with Huang Ye's distrust of him.

"As long as your Majesty believes it."

Huang Ye breathed a sigh of relief.

"From today on, Your Majesty, do not touch any food or items sent by Concubine Liang."

The emperor nodded to show that he understood.

"Say something..."

Huang Ye raised his voice.

She was very dissatisfied with the fact that the emperor just nodded without saying anything, and felt that the emperor was just perfunctorily answering her questions.

"I understand. From now on, I will stay away from Concubine Liang."

The emperor heard the unhappiness in Huang Ye's tone and quickly added in a good-tempered manner.

"Your attitude is still not reassuring. Concubine Liang has always been a good person..."

Huang Ye muttered and lectured the emperor.

The emperor looked at her lovingly and nodded his head in agreement.

Eunuch Yu looked at the two men in surprise.

Will this be the way the emperor and empress get along with each other in the future?

The emperor is very much like what those people outside the palace describe as men who are afraid of their wives.

And the most important thing is that the emperor has not felt that Concubine Ye is teaching him a lesson.

He also enjoys it, this...

In fact, Eunuch Yu is worrying unnecessarily, as the emperor is very clear-headed.
