The princess was about to ask, but was stopped by Yao Shu.

"Princess, don't be impulsive. We must not prevent them from gathering at this time. There must be an emergency. If we just call out someone, it may affect the adjustment of a team." Yao Shu said in a low voice.

The princess immediately retracted her hand and slowly walked to the other side.

It wasn't until everyone had tidied up that the princess breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Shen Qiu hurriedly stepped forward.

Yao Shu quickly grabbed him: "What's going on?"

"A Turkic team suddenly invaded and kept circling around our territory. They seem to have the intention to join forces with the Xiongnu to fight against us." Shen Qiu looked serious and quickly explained the current situation.

Yao Shu frowned subconsciously and said in a low voice: "Did you discover it? Or was someone telling you?"

Her first reaction was that someone was secretly trying to take advantage of the situation between the Turks and the Huns to pressure the princess into an immediate marriage.

Although Yao Shu still doesn't know the purpose of the Minister of Rites asking the princess to get married, he must have figured out that there is nothing good going on.

Yao Shu sighed deeply and turned to look at Shen Fugui.

Shen Fugui also walked out in a panic, his eyes resting on the princess.

Through Yao Shu's words just now, he also knew that there must be a mystery in it.

Shen Qiu was stunned when he heard this, and for a moment he didn't know what Yao Shu meant.

He asked in surprise: "Why do you ask me this suddenly? Do you mean someone is causing trouble secretly?"

"But I want to remind you not to be deceived by others."

Hearing this, Shen Qiu was even more confused. When the officials came to the tent just now, Shen Qiu was not here.

When he heard Yao Shu's words, he was completely confused.

Yao Shu sighed softly and replied in a low voice: "Let's take one step and see what happens."

Shen Qiu didn't have any more time to ask about this, so he nodded and said, "In that case, I'll go there first."

"Okay, be sure to pay attention to safety."

Yao Shu softly persuaded.

Seeing Shen Qiu striding over, Yao Shu's heart was tugged.

When the princess saw Yao Shu's appearance, she softly comforted her: "Mrs. Shen, don't be anxious. They definitely don't dare to send troops rashly to confront us. After all, our strength will naturally make the Turks and Huns fearful. of."

"That's true, but right now I'm worried that there's a mole in the court."

As soon as these words came out, even Sun Qing was shocked.

The princess carefully looked around to make sure that no one heard their conversation, and then said in a low voice: "Mrs. Shen, please be careful. You must never say such things. If something really goes wrong, you will be suspected. On the body."

Yao Shu smiled helplessly and shook her head: "There's no need to accuse them. If they really want to embarrass them, I don't have to worry about not being able to find an excuse."

"Mrs. Shen, I'm sorry, it's me who has caused trouble to you. If it weren't for my identity and my determination to go to the Western Regions with you, maybe you wouldn't have encountered so much trouble now." The princess felt guilty. He lowered his head and spoke softly.

"As I said before, they are here for our Shen family. Our Shen family is too aggressive and will naturally attract too many people's attention. What's more, the Minister of Rites has always been eyeing the Prime Minister, and now we are directly stating our position. The Minister of Rites will naturally take action on us." At this point, Yao Shu sighed softly.

She didn't know how to speak for a moment, so she could only shake her head helplessly.

The princess couldn't bear it. She lowered her head silently and pondered for a moment, then raised her head and said, "How about I write to my father directly and ask him to take back the order."

"If you write a letter directly to the Emperor, it means that you already know the Emperor's wishes, but are not willing to obey the Emperor. At that time, the Emperor will naturally complain about you." Yao Shu stopped him immediately.

Just as the two of them were talking, they suddenly saw General Ling walking out together.

The general's expression has rarely been as serious as it is now. The last time I saw him was when he was fighting against the Huns on the battlefield.

Even the general took action personally, which is enough to prove the seriousness of the matter.

Only then did Yao Shu realize that things were not as simple as she thought. There was naturally a spy in the court, and there was naturally something wrong with the Minister of Rites.

The key to the problem is how to let the emperor know that the Minister of Rites is rebellious.

Just when the soldiers were setting off to fight, she immediately returned to her tent and began to draft a letter to send to Marquis Ningyuan.

She had to tell Marquis Ning Yuan everything about this matter so that the prime minister could take precautions.

Taking a step back, I did this for the safety of the Shen family.

Unexpectedly, just when he finished writing the letter, Shen Jianan suddenly came back in a hurry.

He held a letter and looked at Yao Shu with a serious expression.

"Mom, this is a letter written by Marquis Ning Yuan. Only you and dad can open and read it by name." Yao Shu's heart skipped a beat when she heard this. She didn't know what to say for a while and didn't respond for a long time.

A bad premonition had already arisen in her heart, making her afraid to accept what she might face next.

After a while, Yao Shu spoke in a low voice: "Besides this letter, is there anything else?"

Shen Jian'an shook his head. After a moment, he thought of something again and took out a red rope from his pocket.

"The letter paper is still tied with this red string. I just thought that this red rope was to fix the letter paper."

Yao Shu sighed slowly and replied: "Give me both the letter and the red rope."

Shen Nanshan looked at her sad face and couldn't help but ask: "Old lady, weren't you just about to write a letter to the Marquis? Now that you have received the reply from the Marquis, you two must have thought of going together."

Shen Nanshan looked a little happy.

Yao Shu shook her head helplessly: "Things are not as simple as you said. If the two of us think of going together, it means that the situation in the court has changed dramatically."

After speaking, her fingertips trembled slightly, and she hesitated for a moment while holding the letter.

After a moment, she gritted her teeth and opened the envelope.

Sure enough, the content of the letter was just as he thought. The prime minister and the Marquis already knew that there was something wrong with the Minister of Rites.

The letter stated that the princess was forced to marry because the Minister of Rites took the initiative.
