Chapter 273 Late Night Seduction

Liaodong Pass also received news of the Yuan army's invasion, but at the same time, they also received military intelligence that the Tartars were approaching from the north.

Chen Nian, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, advocated deploying defenses at Liaodong Pass but not sending troops. In fact, this is normal. After all, Liaodong Pass is an important pass and cannot be moved easily.

Furthermore, the city walls of Beihai Prefecture are low, easy to attack but difficult to defend, and are not suitable for defending the city at all.

This has always been the case. If an enemy country invades, the safest thing for the people outside the Liaodong Pass is to abandon their homes and businesses and retreat into the interior to avoid disaster. This is why it has been difficult for Beihai Prefecture to grow and develop.

After all, the houses they built might be trampled by the Yuan army one day, and the accumulated property might disappear overnight. Compared with the life in Liaodong, the people in border towns like Beihai Prefecture had a very difficult life.

The second prince Xiao Nanyong and Chen Nian went up to the city wall together, waiting for military information from Beihai Prefecture and preparing to deal with the Yuan army at any time.

However, at dawn, the scouts returned on horseback, cheering and shouting from afar: "The Yuan army has been repelled!"

"Princess Yong'an personally defended the city with her soldiers, using thunder bombs to repel the Yuan army!"

The secretary beside Xiao Nanrong cheered happily and jumped up: "Great!"

On the other side, Yan Nu sneered with disdain: "Leading troops to defend against the enemy? You dare to brag about anything."

The secretary beside him chattered excitedly: "Princess Yong'an is amazing. Not only can she run a hospital and a coal mine, but she can also fight a war..."

Yan Nu sneered: "Yes, she was able to lead the troops to defend the Beihai Prefecture City, which many generals had failed to defend in the past. I think she should stop being a princess and become a god of war."

The secretary curled her lips: "That's sour..."

Yan Nu was annoyed: "You..."

Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly remembered something and quickly shut up. Then she met her master's calm gaze.

Yan Nu didn't dare to do it again and lowered his head and retreated.

Chen Nian, the commander of Liaodong Pass, smiled faintly: "A princess leading troops to defend the city? That Princess Yong'an is quite interesting."

That's quite bold.

After all, no one would believe that Chen Ning, a weak woman with a noble status, could have retreated to Liaodong Pass when there was danger, but she chose to defend a small Beihai Prefecture City.

This little princess is quite good at seeking fame and reputation.

Xiao Nanyong turned around and walked back, remaining silent...

Soon, the news that the Yuan army broke its promise and invaded the border, but was repelled by the Beihai Prefecture garrison led by Princess Yong'an, spread back to the capital.

Of course, most people still don't believe it. After all, that is Shen Ning's fiefdom, and she can brag about it however she wants.

"That little girl Chen Ning, I knew she was no ordinary girl the first time I saw her."

Emperor Jiaping coughed violently several times. Xiao Nanchen hurried to help him calm down, but he was pushed away by him with his hand.

After taking a few deep breaths, Emperor Jiaping smiled and said, "At that time, she was kneeling there, looking timid and obedient, but her eyes were shining... It was obvious that she was scheming. I knew she was brave, but I didn't expect her to be so brave and even dare to fight. Haha..."

Xiao Nanchen remained silent, his eyes gloomy.

Emperor Jiaping knew clearly: "Why, are you worried? Are you heartbroken?"

Xiao Nanchen raised his eyes, feeling somewhat impatient: "What do you say?"

Need you even ask? This is not nonsense!

He was already a little irritable, and when he learned that Shen Ning had experienced such a thrilling experience, his anger rose even more.

Emperor Jiaping laughed and said, "Okay, okay, I know I am annoying. You can go and do your work..."

Xiao Nanchen rolled his eyes at his father, the emperor, then stood up and walked out.

Behind him, Emperor Jiaping muttered to himself.

"You forgot your father after you got a wife... you stinky boy!"

Xiao Nanchen was really about to lose his patience, and even wanted to commit treason and force his emperor father to abdicate... It was better than watching him muddle-headed all day and letting those people cause chaos.

During this period, Xiao Nanchen was fully responsible for the defense of the imperial palace and moved back to his former Xingyun Palace.

As he was walking towards the Xingyun Palace, he saw from afar a group of people accompanying the Crown Princess Xu Wanqing passing by.

The night was dark, Xiao Nanchen turned around to avoid it, but the next moment, Xu Wanqing's voice rang out.

"Seventh brother."

The other party had already spoken, so Xiao Nanchen had no choice but to patiently stop and say expressionlessly: "Greetings, Crown Princess."

"You and the Crown Prince are born of the same mother. We are uncle and sister-in-law. Why should you be so polite?"

Xiao Nanchen was too lazy to say more: "If there is nothing important, your brother..."

"It's freezing cold, and we're still quite a distance from here to the East Palace. It's difficult to travel at night. Could you please, Seventh Brother, escort me back to the East Palace?"

Xiao Nanchen frowned. It was at this moment that he suddenly realized that Xu Wanqing's outfit today seemed somewhat familiar. Whether it was the style of the dress or the hair accessories, it was very similar to what Shen Ning wore when she was in the palace.

In an instant, Xiao Nanchen felt a strong disgust in his heart.

"If you're worried about the late night and the difficulty of traveling, Princess, please stay out of the house. I have important matters to attend to, so I'll be sorry I can't see you off."

Before he finished speaking, he turned around and strode away. Xu Wanqing's deliberately forced smile froze on her face.

She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, gritted her teeth, and turned around: "Go back to the palace!"

Crown Prince Xiao Nanyu has been staying in Concubine Liu's palace every night recently. That's why Xu Wanqing was able to find time to "accidentally meet" Xiao Nanchen.

Now Xu Wanqing already knew that a long time ago, when Xiao Nanchen lost his memory and was living with Shen Ning, he thought Shen Ning was his sister-in-law and called her "elder sister-in-law"... It was also at that time that the two of them fell in love.

Xu Wanqing didn't want to think about it but couldn't help but guess. Could it be that His Royal Highness Prince Ding, who was cold and hard by nature, actually had some special hobbies that were difficult to express, such as... liking his sister-in-law.

This kind of thing is not uncommon and can often be seen in storybooks. Moreover, the colder and more tyrannical a man like Prince Ding appears on the surface, the more likely he is to be lustful inside.

Xu Wanqing did not believe that Xiao Nanchen and Shen Ning were innocent when they were in Pingning. She thought that it must be the dissolute widow who seduced Prince Ding, and it just so happened that Prince Ding liked this kind of thing.

That's why Xu Wanqing had this idea... She felt a little ashamed and embarrassed when she deliberately imitated Shen Ning's dress, but when she thought of the heroic and handsome Prince Ding, she felt that the embarrassment was insignificant.

But Xiao Nanchen was so in love with his sister-in-law who came from the "countryside" that he was almost obsessed, and he refused to even look at her!

What exactly is wrong with her?

When he returned to the Eastern Palace, he passed by Concubine Liu's palace and heard music and playful sounds coming from there from afar... Concubine Liu also liked to have fun and had similar interests with the Crown Prince.

Xiao Nanyu was only enthusiastic towards her during the first few days of their wedding, and he never came to her again after that.

Even Xu Wanqing's trusted maid heard some unbearable words from the palace servants around Concubine Liu: Crown Prince Xiao Nanyu complained in front of Concubine Liu that she, the Crown Princess, was so rigid and arrogant in bed, which was extremely boring!

They are all cheap men who like sluts!

Xu Wanqing returned to the bedroom and was so angry that she smashed several vases. In order to "accidentally meet" Xiao Nanchen, she was exposed to cold wind for a long time and now had a splitting headache.

Seeing this, the palace maid nearby quickly sent someone to call the imperial physician.

And tonight, the people on duty at the Imperial Hospital happened to be Li Yushi and her apprentice Ye Heng... Ye Heng was temporarily summoned to take the Queen's pulse, so Li Yushi had no choice but to come to the East Palace carrying her medicine box.
