On the way back to Beijing, Chu Younan received an urgent document from eight hundred miles away.

His eyebrows were tightly knitted together.

When Su Bei took the document and looked at it, he was immediately shocked.

The border is in crisis.

At first she thought it was Bei Yanming who was causing trouble, but upon closer inspection it turned out not to be the case. It turned out that several small countries had joined forces to attack the border of Wu.

Internal troubles have just been resolved, and external troubles are coming again.

Chu Younan decisively decided to let Jiang Liu lead an army of 800,000. Although those small countries could not achieve much individually, they were still very threatening when they united.

only……

"We have no grudges in the past and no hatred in the present, so why would they suddenly attack us?" Su Bei wondered.

"I'm afraid it has something to do with Bei Yanming." Chu Younan said seriously, "I've heard that these small countries are disturbing the North before. Bei Yanming must have persuaded them to attack Wu Country to relieve their own pressure."

"This guy Bei Yanming! If it weren't for so many people in the North, I really want his North to be attacked every day!" Su Bei said angrily.

She just said it casually, but who knew it would come true in the future.

After Jiang Liu led an army of 800,000 to set off, Chu Younan suddenly received an urgent report that Bei Yanming personally led an army of one million and was approaching the northwest border.

This is bad.

The Ukrainian state could afford a million-strong army, but food and grass were a big problem. Last year, there were floods in the south and drought in the north, and food and grass were scarce. Even if they won this battle, it would be a pyrrhic victory.

With a powerful enemy at hand, recruiting soldiers is the most important thing, and the issue of food and fodder can be solved slowly.

The state affairs here are urgent, but Prime Minister Jiang Bai actually asked for a meeting at this time because of his daughter.

Jiang Bai received a secret letter from Jiang Rujin, saying that Queen Mother Yao wanted to abolish her position as concubine and had placed her under house arrest.

The letter was written in a hurry, so it only had a few words and did not state the specific reasons.

Jiang Bai relied on his status as the prime minister of two dynasties and said to Chu Younan, "Your Majesty, my daughter is a filial daughter and asked to accompany the Queen Mother. I wonder what mistake she made to make the Queen Mother so angry? I dare to ask Your Majesty to look into this matter. Don't let my daughter's heart down, and the hearts of the old ministers down!"

Although Jiang Bai did not make any great contributions, he did not make any mistakes either, so this matter does need to be investigated.

Chu Younan sent Tang Jiang to inquire.

Who would have thought that he would not return for such a long time.

There is something wrong here! Could it be that Queen Mother Yao was held hostage by thieves? Chu Younan hurried over in person.

He originally planned to go alone, but when he got on the carriage, he found Su Bei lying in the carriage.

He was sleeping so soundly that I couldn't wake him up even if I shook him. It seemed like he had been drugged.

I’ll check this matter when I get back!

He has to take Su Bei with him as well, otherwise he won’t feel at ease.

Along the way, Su Bei fell into a deep sleep. When she woke up, she found that her quilt, bed, and room had been changed.

The only clothes left on her were her pajamas.

And there was no one to serve.

What happened? Was she held hostage? Was she raped?

She quickly got up and walked out, but before she reached the door, she heard two people arguing.

"Where is Concubine Jin?" It was Chu Younan's voice.

"Hasn't the emperor always been indifferent to his concubines? Why did he suddenly come to the palace for her?" Empress Dowager Yao's voice sounded cold.

"It just suddenly occurred to me. After all, Jiang Bai is the prime minister of two dynasties, and I should care about his daughter."

Chu Younan said it calmly, but he didn't know that Su Bei inside felt jealous when he heard it.

Sure enough, if men are reliable, even pigs can climb trees!

It was a mistake after all! He even knocked her out of the palace, maybe there was some conspiracy! While the two were arguing outside, Su Bei quietly grabbed a piece of clothing and slipped out of the window.

She wanted to leave! She wanted to stay away from this bastard! But she wanted to take the children with her, leaving no one behind! First she had to leave the palace.

But this palace was too big, and this time she was not in the same room as last time, so she couldn't find the right way for a while.

Accidentally, she touched the front of a locked palace.

Normally palaces are not locked, so this one was quite strange. Su Bei imagined a big drama in his mind.

Chu Younan wanted to meet Jiang Rujin secretly, but Queen Mother Yao refused to let him see her for various reasons, so she locked Jiang Rujin up.

The thought of this made her want to vomit.

Jiang Rujin is only twelve years old, and Chu Younan is already twenty-four. It's like an old cow eating young grass! How pitiful the little girl is!

She has to be a good person!

So Su Bei used a hairpin to pry open the lock and sneaked in.

It was Jiang Rujin inside, a small person whose back looked extremely desolate and lonely.

She definitely doesn't want to commit herself to an old man like Chu Younan! Su Bei thought so and stepped forward to pat her on the shoulder.

Jiang Rujin turned around suddenly as if frightened, and said in horror: "I want to see the emperor! I want to see the emperor!"

This girl must have been frightened, right? Su Bei hurriedly comforted her: "Don't be afraid, I won't let you see the emperor!"

"No! I want to see the emperor!" Jiang Rujin said stubbornly.

Well, it seems that she was wrong, there must be another story.

Su Bei said righteously, "You are only twelve years old, and now you see the emperor, he is not good for your health!"

But Jiang Rujin seemed not to hear what she said clearly and just insisted on seeing the emperor.

Well, it seems that she has discovered Chu Younan's secret! Su Bei couldn't help but imagine the two of them having a love affair regardless of age.

She wanted to kill Chu Younan!

"How did the lock open?!" someone shouted at the door.

Even if she left, she couldn't help that old bastard Chu Younan! Su Bei slapped Jiang Rujin on the back of her neck, then carried her out of the window.

"Someone has kidnapped Concubine Jin! Chase them!"

Someone is chasing us.

Su Bei was running around carrying someone.

She didn't walk around the last time she came, and now she realizes that the temporary palace is not much smaller than the imperial palace. Fortunately, she is not a person with poor direction, otherwise she would probably never be able to get out.

The most dangerous place is the safest place, so Su Bei went straight to Queen Mother Yao's bedroom.

Originally, no one noticed her when she hid in, but after she hid in, she found out that someone was searching Queen Mother Yao's bedroom.

The mother and son actually moved their positions and confronted each other in Queen Mother Yao's bedroom.

"Emperor, is it appropriate for you to search your mother's bedroom?" Queen Mother Yao said angrily.

Chu Younan looked solemn, "Why doesn't my mother want to hand over Jiang Rujin?"

"My queen mother said that she is still young, so I will keep her by my side for a few years!"

"Your son just wants to see you and has no intention of summoning you!" Chu Younan's face was gloomy, and it didn't seem like he was telling the truth.

In fact, it was not true. He planned to take Jiang Rujin back to the palace. Of course, he just wanted to give an explanation to Prime Minister Jiang.

But Queen Mother Yao said with a sullen face: "Are you really going to turn against my mother for a concubine?!"

"It's just one meeting, how can there be any quarrel?" Chu Younan said calmly.

Su Bei glanced at Jiang Rujin. This girl was indeed a beauty. It was obvious that she would become a disaster to the country and the people when she grew up. But she didn't care if she brought disaster to other countries. Now that she had seduced Chu Younan's soul away, Su Bei really had the urge to strangle her to death.

No! We must take her away!

Su Bei was thinking this and was about to take Jiang Rujin away when everyone was not paying attention. However, when she just turned around to look at the terrain, Jiang Rujin woke up at some point and suddenly shouted, "I want to see the emperor! I want to see the emperor!"
