There was another long silence.

After a moment of silence, He Yanting tentatively said, "Why not just let it go? Not many people know about it anyway..."

Before he could finish his words, He Yanting keenly sensed that something was wrong in the atmosphere.

He stood up from the recliner as fast as lightning, and the next second, the recliner broke in half.

Seeing that the emperor was about to pick up another recliner, He Yanting quickly stopped him, "You can't do that, Your Majesty. Think about Zhiyu. If she came into the palace and saw that the recliner was gone, she might blame you."

As a minister, I blame the emperor.

The emperor actually listened to these words that turned the world upside down.

There was obvious anger on his face. Looking at He Yanting who was still smiling, he couldn't hold it in for a moment, but the more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He picked up the porcelain next to him and threw it over.

The sound of porcelain breaking continued, and the emperor's powerful word "get out" lingered right above the center of the imperial garden.

The sound was heard by the eunuchs and palace maids who were blocking the way outside. They were all silent and dared not make a sound.

He Yanting walked out with a calm expression.

Fu Ping couldn't help but step forward to inquire about the news: "Minister He, why is the emperor angry?"

"I'm so angry," He Yanting said flatly, "When you go in to serve, just put the things down and don't talk."

Fu Ping nodded and saluted: "Thank you, Minister He, for your advice."

…

At the Sixth Prince's Mansion, after Song Shiwei returned home, his subordinates came to inform him of the news.

After hearing this, Song Shiwei's eyes lit up: "Great! He Yanting is Jiang Zhiyu's best support besides the emperor. If he goes to the border, the mountains are high and the roads are long. If anything happens in Shengjing, he won't be able to rush back."

The subordinate remained silent.

"By the way, I heard you went to visit His Highness. How is His Highness now? Did he give you any instructions?"

Song Shiwei's eyes flashed with displeasure: "No, Jiang Zhiyu was just watching from the side, and he didn't say anything."

There was an obvious flash of disappointment in the subordinate's eyes. He bowed and was about to leave, but was stopped by Song Shiwei.

"W-Why are you telling me?"

Although I have the title of concubine, they don't have to tell me about this kind of thing.

"His Highness said that if he is not here, all matters must be reported to the Concubine."

Song Shi was slightly stunned.

He told her everything, so Xiao Yanli really treated her sincerely.

He wants me to stand by his side!

Everything that happened before was just a misunderstanding.

Tears welled up in her eyes, and the joy in her heart, as well as her resistance to the title of concubine, were diluted a lot.

After leaving the palace gate, the subordinates went directly into the side hall, and then from the side door of the side hall, walked through the corridor, and entered the middle room.

The room was dark and unlit.

The subordinate knelt on one knee as soon as he entered the room: "I have told her everything. Judging from her expression, she seems very happy."

The person in the dark sneered: "Well, what did she find out when she went to the Imperial Prison?"

"No, according to her, Jiang Zhiyu was also there, so it was inconvenient for her to talk."

The subordinate said respectfully.

The man sighed softly, "Never mind. It won't last long anyway. So, just report some unimportant news to her every day. If she wants to interfere, just listen and then report the results according to her opinion."

"yes."

…

The news that He Yanting was going to fight on the border spread in just two days due to deliberate promotion.

Including the border, including the Wala.

Daiqin held the message in his hand, his face grim, and in his ears he could hear the chatter:

"He Yanting is coming to the border in person?"

"What should we do? Aren't we too close? Should we retreat two more cities? No, three, four."

"Why don't you just give it to him? We only have a few of them. I'm too lazy to tell you all this time!"

"No, that's He Yanting. To put it bluntly, if he comes, wouldn't this city be given away for free?"

"Hey, you kid..."

"That's all!" Daiqin crumpled the paper into a ball and threw it into the brazier where the meat was being roasted. "If he wants to come, then come. Why should I be afraid of him?"

"Have you all forgotten how he was carried back home with both legs broken like a stray dog?"

When this was mentioned, everyone's expressions did not ease.

"But I heard at the time that he was attacked by his own people, and his leg was crippled by his own people."

"So what?" Dai Qin looked at the person who spoke. "They succeeded in their plot once, but why can't we? He's a human, not a god."

“…”

There was silence and no one responded.

Dai Qin couldn't help but grit his teeth: "You are such cowards! The people haven't even arrived yet, and you are so scared just by hearing the news! If you see someone, you have to fight and surrender!"

"Besides, we don't know whether this news is true or not. The old Emperor of Tianqi is always making decisions. Who knows who will come in the end? Maybe it will be that young boy from last time!"

The atmosphere instantly became lively.

"Yeah, yeah, I don't know if it's true or not, maybe he won't come."

"Yes, I heard that his leg was healed by a little girl. This is such a great favor, so he should wait until the little girl grows up and gets married before he comes out."

"That makes sense."

Daiqin: That’s enough!

Telling this to others will bring shame to the people of Mobei!

"Then, are we still going to invade their border?"

In the cheerful atmosphere, someone suddenly asked a question in a trembling voice, and the voice stopped instantly, and everyone's eyes were fixed on Daiqin.

Originally, they had decided to punish a minor offense every three days and a major offense every five days.

But if he happened to run into He Yanting while committing the crime...

"No, reorganize the military. From today on, no one is allowed to slack off."

He chuckled, "This isn't for me, it's for yourselves. If he really were the leader, you'd train well. Wouldn't you be able to run faster when you escape in the future?"

He originally meant to make a joke, but when he saw that everyone's eyes were serious and it was obvious that they had taken his words to heart.

The smile in Daiqin's eyes disappeared instantly.

That’s enough!

This is a freaking joke!

Can't they hear anything?!

Compared to the serious atmosphere in the Wala military camp, the atmosphere on Tianqi's side is much more relaxed.

The emotions of the two sides seemed to have been reversed.

The Oirat people were good at riding and shooting, and were familiar with the terrain. Although each invasion was small-scale, it still made it difficult for the soldiers on the border to cope with it.

Now that they have received this news, they can finally relax and have a good rest.

Everyone gathered together to celebrate, eat and drink, and then rest. Only the deputy general and a few capable assistants were left in the main tent.

Several people looked relieved. Someone asked the deputy general, "Did the news mention when General He will arrive?"

They changed their tune before the people even arrived.

The deputy general took a sip of wine and said, "He didn't mention anything, but he said he would provide us with more food and supplies, which would arrive in seven days."
