For a moment, Yan Yu thought he had heard wrongly. Ning Xia quickly grabbed Yan Yu's hand and said, "Your Majesty? Your Majesty, wake up."

Yan Yu whispered: "Besides this, what else is there?"

Huo Ha shook his head: "I don't know anything anymore."

Yan Yu sent him away.

Yan Yu didn't sleep much the whole night.

The next morning, she was dressing in front of the mirror, looking somewhat tired.

Ning Xia took the powder and applied it to her carefully: "Don't worry, your Majesty, the Crown Prince is blessed by heaven, and he will be fine this time."

Is it?

Yan Yu himself was not quite sure.

But at this time, no matter what happened, the most important thing was that Yan Yu himself believed that there was still hope and that the Prince’s Mansion would not collapse so easily.

Xiao Qirui is ambitious. Even if the emperor dislikes him, he will always be a threat as long as he is alive.

Not to mention that Prince Rui is not dead yet and is guarding the imperial mausoleum. The edict to depose the empress has not yet come down. Once something happens to Xiao Chengji, Prince Rui will be the rightful successor.

Yan Yu wanted to go to the palace to pay his respects to the Queen Mother and find out what the Queen Mother thought.

She asked Xia to go into the palace with her and met Zheng on the way.

Xia saw that Zheng was somewhat guilty. She knew that because of what she had said in front of the emperor, Zheng had suffered a lot of grievances when she returned home.

Queen Mother Zheng knew about the incident on the border at midnight yesterday.

Yan Yu and Xia had just sat down when the emperor also came here.

The news about the Crown Prince's defeat in the war only arrived in the capital last night. By now, half a month had passed since the day the Crown Prince had the accident.

The capital city and the border are thousands of miles apart, and with so many links in between that need to be delivered, some information is bound to be delayed.

Seeing the Crown Princess here, the Emperor looked more or less guilty.

If he had known the situation would be like this today, no matter what Xiao Chengji said, he should not have sent the child out.

Queen Mother Zheng said: "I don't know whether the prince died in battle or surrendered to the enemy. No matter what happens, someone must take over the Wei Dynasty. Emperor, please let Shan'er return to the capital."

Emperor Jianxing thought about it and ignored what Empress Dowager Zheng said.

Yan Yu said: "Empress Dowager, Father, I think the Crown Prince must be alive. Thirty thousand troops cannot suddenly disappear overnight."

The Cang State launched a surprise attack in the evening, and the Wei State soldiers were caught off guard, but it was soon night.

Yan Yu didn't believe that Xiao Chengji would die in it.

As long as she didn't see his body, she wouldn't believe all the rumors.

Emperor Jianxing smiled bitterly and said, "Crown Princess, don't think too much. Take good care of the prince during this period of time."

Yan Yu responded.

Haijiang fell and the front line was suddenly cut off, which caused a lot of discussion in the capital.

Recently, a rumor has been circulating in the capital that the prince has been captured by the Emperor of Cang State and has become a defeated general at the hands of the Emperor of Cang State.

Yan Yu inquired around and found out that the source of all the rumors came from the Seventh Prince's Mansion.

Yan Yu was thinking about how to stop the spread of these rumors. In the evening, Huo Wang suddenly sent Yan Yu a message: "The Seventh Prince's Consort has something to tell you. She wants you to go to the palace tomorrow and avoid other people's sight."

Whatever Zheng had to say must have been told by the Seventh Prince. Yan Yu thought about it and went to the palace the next day. He sat in Concubine Xia's palace and then went to the place agreed upon by the Seventh Prince's wife.

Sure enough, she saw Zheng waiting for her next to the rockery.

Zheng had lost a lot of weight, and there was no luster in her eyes. She was like two different people from when Yan Yu first met her.

Yan Yu paused, took a few steps forward, and walked in front of Zheng: "Jiao Lian."

Zheng raised her eyes slowly.

Yan Yu thought she had something important to tell him, but she just said a few polite words and apologized for the Seventh Prince's offense to Yan Yu that day.

Yan Yu hated the Seventh Prince, but he did not have any hatred towards Zheng. After all, Zheng was also a poor person who had no choice.

Zheng smiled and said, "I used to feel sorry for myself, but when I heard that something happened to the prince, it turns out that your situation is even more pitiful than mine."

It would be good if the crown prince was alive. If the crown prince was dead, the crown prince was young and Yan Yu was young, the emperor wanted to make the crown prince the throne, so he would definitely kill Yan Yu to prevent the harem from interfering in politics.

If the emperor enthrones other princes, they will certainly not tolerate Yan Yu and her son.

Zheng was in a trance, not knowing whether she was thinking about Yan Yu or herself: "We are like duckweed, everything is controlled by the wind."

Floating to the east, south, west and north with the wind of fate.

Yan Yu said: "Too much duckweed can suffocate fish. Jiaolian, if the Seventh Master treats you badly, maybe I can help you."

"You're wrong. He treats me very well." Zheng held Yan Yu's hand. "I felt sorry for you and came here to see what you look like now."

Yan Yu noticed the note in his hand and silently pushed it into his sleeve.

After saying these words, Zheng left.

After returning home, Yan Yu looked at the note in his hand and his expression changed.

Xiao Qirui and Concubine Jin are having an affair.

In three days at the latest, a group of people from Concubine Jin's tribe will come to the capital to pay tribute and publicly announce the false news that the prince has surrendered to the enemy.

Yan Yu was in a state of confusion.

With less than three days left, how should she cope?

Should we first expose the relationship between Xiao Qirui and Jin Fei?

No, Xiao Qirui would definitely not easily enter the palace to have an affair with Concubine Jin in the past few days. Besides, the emperor is such a face-conscious person, would he be angry and embarrassed if this fact was suddenly exposed?

A hint of coldness flashed across Yan Yu's eyes.

Since the people from the Kangfang tribe have not yet entered the capital, she might as well send someone out to kill these people now.

Once this group of people died, Xiao Qirui would have to spend a lot of time and energy to frame Xiao Chengji.

Yan Yu was just thinking about who to send to kill these people when a maid suddenly came in to report the news.

"Madam, there is a ragged beggar outside who wants to see you," said a maid, "She asked me to show you this."

Not everyone can enter the Prince's Mansion. Even if a minister of the third rank or above asks for an audience, he may not be allowed in, let alone ordinary people.

But the thing that the beggar took out was not like an ordinary object. There was an emblem of being made in the Qin Palace on it. The doorman did not dare to delay and came to inform the Crown Princess.

Yan Yu was wondering, she took the things handed to her by the maid.

It is a warm and shiny jade flute with a beautiful tassel pendant hanging from it.

Yan Yu instantly recalled some things, and she murmured: "Wanli... let her in!"

In a moment, a gray and dirty figure appeared in front of Yan Yu.

Yan Yu's nose was sore, and he hugged Wanli who threw herself into his arms: "Where have you been? How did you become like this?"

Wanli wiped her tears and choked up and cried: "The news could not be passed on. People were chasing and intercepting me along the way. I had to disguise myself as a beggar to enter the city... Princess, the Crown Prince is not dead! He did not surrender to the enemy! His team broke through the siege and went to hunt down the Emperor of Cang Kingdom!"
