Seeing the Queen looking at her with a questioning look, the eldest princess immediately composed herself and said, "I heard you're really worried. I hope nothing serious happens to Qingtian and that she gets better soon.
"Seventh Brother loves his daughter so much, I'm afraid he's also anxious to go back now, right?"
The Queen naturally understood the Grand Princess's probing intentions and said with a smile, "Seventh Brother is usually the most lazy. With so many people coming to the Front Court today, how could the Emperor let him go and keep him in the Front Court to help?"
When the Grand Princess heard that Prince Rui was still in the palace, but Princess Rui and Qingtian had left the palace and returned home, she felt relieved.
Fortunately, as long as we deal with the situation in the palace, I don’t think the mother and daughter will cause any big trouble.
So the eldest princess calmed down again and continued to rely on her elder status to accept greetings from guests entering the palace together with the queen.
On the other side, Ye Qingshan and his troops had been waiting at the foot of the mountain for almost half a month.
Everyone is so bored that they are almost farting.
Ye Laosi squatted under a tree with a straw in his mouth, in a daze, and all he could think about was Miss Zhou.
Although the two have not yet officially engaged, they should not meet.
However, the marriage had already been discussed with the parents of both families, and the families all agreed, but the ceremony had not yet been held.
So Miss Zhou would take time out on the first and fifteenth day of every month to visit Youji Dumpling Restaurant.
Ye Laosi took the opportunity to meet her, talk to her for a few words, and give her some small gifts that he made or bought.
We just met on the first day of this month. At that time, Miss Zhou specifically told me that August 15th is Mid-Autumn Festival and she could only come out for a while in the morning. We agreed to meet there.
Unexpectedly, Ye Qingshan immediately called him out of the city and kept him at the foot of the mountain for half a month.
Now the Yulin Guards have been divided into two parts. One part follows Ye Qingshan and waits at the foot of the mountain, while the other part is still responsible for normal patrol tasks in the capital.
Ye Qingshan brought Ye Laosi with him in the hope that he could help him make another contribution.
This way, not only can his salary be increased, but he will also be more confident when he goes to the Zhou family to propose marriage.
Ye Qingshan was standing at the door at this time, staring at the dazed Ye Laosi.
He didn't expect that after half a month, not to mention a large number of troops, he hadn't even seen a strand of horsehair.
Today is August 15th, and Ye Qingshan can see that the morale of his subordinates is unsettled. They probably all miss home.
Just when he was thinking of a way to boost morale, someone suddenly came to report.
"General, someone has come from the palace and said there is a message from the emperor."
Ye Qingshan immediately stood up straight with a start.
"Please invite someone in quickly."
In order to avoid attracting attention, Ye Qingshan and his group stayed in a village at the foot of the mountain and dressed like villagers on weekdays.
As Wang Wei entered the room, the light suddenly dimmed. For a moment, he didn't recognize that the person standing in front of him was Ye Qingshan. He asked, "Where is General Ye? We have the emperor's oral order here. Please... Ouch!"
Before he could finish his words, he was startled by Ye Qingshan approaching.
"Oh, General Ye, what kind of appearance are you in? You scared me to death."
After Wang Wei finished speaking, he took two steps back as if he was a little disgusted.
Ye Qingshan looked down at his clothes that were covered in patches, and thought to himself, what's wrong with that? Although they are a bit old, they are still very clean!
When he was at the border, his clothes were rarely clean.
Ye Qingshan said: "I'm just afraid of exposing my target and ruining the Emperor's business!"
After hearing this, Wang Wei thought about it and realized it was true.
He had just been in the palace, watching the ministers dressed in their best clothes entering the palace for the banquet.
The sudden contrast in appearance when he saw Ye Qingshan at this moment was so great that he almost forgot his mission at the moment.
"Prince Rui has some evidence and suspects this group will take action during the holiday.
"But I don't know whether they will launch a large-scale uprising or quietly break up into small groups and then regroup in Beijing.
“So the Emperor ordered us to come and inform General Ye that you must be on high alert today.
"If you encounter suspicious individuals, regardless of their identities, you can take any measures. Everything is subject to your judgment."
After Wang Wei finished speaking, he stretched out his hand behind him.
The eunuch hurriedly brought out a long sword with a scabbard inlaid with jade and gems.
"This is the Imperial Sword, and I'm handing it over to you now.
"The Emperor said that you don't need to look ahead or behind, just act boldly."
Wang Wei's words were equivalent to telling Ye Qingshan to feel free to boldly stop anyone he thought was suspicious.
If the other party refuses to cooperate, it also tacitly allows him to take tough measures.
No matter what the consequences are, there is the emperor!
"I will definitely live up to the emperor's trust."
Ye Qingshan knelt down, raised his hands high above his head, and took the imperial sword.
The imperial sword is quite heavy and feels quite weighty in the hand.
But at this moment, Ye Qingshan felt even more pressure.
The emperor's oral order and the heavy imperial sword all indicate one thing.
That is, the group of people in the mountains now are very likely to rebel.
Not only that, these people should be in collusion with people in the capital, and may even involve some officials and royal relatives.
Otherwise, the emperor would not have been so anxious to send Wang Wei to deliver the imperial sword to him, and would not have spoken so many words to him in such earnest words.
After sending Wang Wei away, Ye Qingshan immediately called his men and told them about the current situation. He then ordered them to go down and reorganize the manpower immediately, so that everyone would cheer up and be prepared for battle at any time.
He was not afraid that all the people in the mountains would come down the mountain at the same time. That would make too much noise and would not be hidden from the spies he had arranged everywhere.
However, Wang Wei specifically mentioned that these people might split up and act separately, and then reunite after entering Beijing.
As a result, the difficulty of completely controlling people outside the city gates increased dramatically.
Especially today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and there are already a lot of people coming in and out of Beijing.
Judging from Wang Wei's intention, the emperor did not order the city gates to be closed.
Even though Qin Songyin is in charge of the capital now, he must be prepared to meet the enemy at any time.
However, if we take action in the city, the losses of property and personnel will definitely be greater.
"We must try our best to control those people in our hands and not let them get close to the capital!
"Separately, guard the entrances and exits of each mountain road. Send out scouts to gather information and exchange information. Do not underestimate the enemy!"
"Yes!" Everyone responded in unison after receiving the order.
Everyone was eager for this group of people to get down the mountain as soon as possible. Everyone was tired of sitting here doing nothing.
Following Ye Qingshan's instructions, everyone went downstairs to do their own things.
Ye Lao Si had not been mentioned until he saw that everyone else had left. He came up and asked, "General, what am I responsible for?"
"You are responsible for following me and not leaving me at all!"
