It lasted for quite a while before it became completely quiet.

Ji Xiuyuan's jaw dropped to the ground in shock. "Shit! It was a close call. We were almost wiped out by the hail of arrows. This is really strange. When I was stationed in Wuxian Mountain before, I never saw crows around here. Where did these crows come from?"

"Yeah, it's really strange." Lu Zhaofeng said embarrassedly: "Where does the sound of a crying baby come from?"

Ji Xiuyuan: ...

He heard nothing.

The rain is getting lighter and lighter.

Ji Xiuyuan led an elite force and surrounded the entire mountain from behind.

General Lu received the secret letter from Concubine Shu, submitted a memorial to Emperor Yuanwu overnight, and led his men to provide support.

The sky in the east had just begun to turn white.

General Lu’s reinforcements have arrived at Wuxian Mountain and met up with Lu Zhaofeng.

"Father, why are you here?" Lu Zhaofeng was surprised.

"Your sister sent me a letter through someone, saying that the Ningguo army had already set up an ambush here. It was raining heavily, and the top of the mountain was sliding and there would be mudslides. They were afraid that you would be in danger. Your sister was worried about you, so she asked me to come and see you." General Lu said slowly.

"Sister?" Lu Zhaofeng was confused.

My sister stayed in the deep palace all day, so how could she know about fighting while being sick?

Even if she stayed by the emperor's side and heard something.

But how did his sister know about such an unpredictable natural disaster as a landslide on the top of the mountain?

Lu Zhaofeng couldn't help but think of some rumors about Concubine Shu's childbirth.

"Father, have you seen the seventh princess my sister just gave birth to?" Lu Zhaofeng asked cautiously.

General Lu frowned: "Why do you suddenly ask this?"

“No.” Lu Zhaofeng rubbed the tip of his nose with his hand: “I just thought that my niece has been born for so long, but I haven’t seen her yet.”

"Last time in the Imperial Study, the Emperor did carry her over, but she was asleep at the time, so I didn't get to see her carefully." General Lu's eyes were full of regret. "But, the Hundred Days Banquet will be held soon, and I'll be able to see her then."

Lu Zhaofeng stopped talking, but had other ideas.

However, we still have to solve the big problem of Ningguo first.

Only then can his niece have a happy hundred-day celebration.

Lu Zhaofeng swore that he would ambush the Ningguo army on the mountain.

I really felt what it means that it is easy to climb up the mountain but difficult to get down.

everything's ready.

Lu Zhaofeng led his elite troops and marched all the way up the mountain...

Qiluan Garden.

When Concubine Shu returned to her bedroom, it was already dawn.

She walked to Mu Qianqian's crib, saw her daughter sleeping soundly, and touched her daughter's face lovingly.

Her fingertips just touched her daughter's temples.

Concubine Shu paused for a moment.

Why is my daughter's hair wet?

Concubine Shu thought that it rained heavily last night and the room was stuffy, so maybe the quilt she covered Mu Qianqian with was too thick.

She took a handkerchief from the crib and wiped the "sweat" off her forehead, then took a slightly thinner blanket.

Concubine Shu wanted to help her change into dry clothes.

But as soon as her fingertips touched Mu Qianqian's clothes, she was stunned.

"Why are your clothes wet too?"

Mu Qianqian, who had not slept all night, was tossed back and forth like this for a few times. She forced herself to open her eyes a little despite her sleepiness.

【Mother, I feel sleepy.】

"My queen, did the Seventh Princess wet the bed?" Ying'er seemed to have thought of something: "I'll go get a set of clean clothes and bedding for the Seventh Princess to change into."
