Chapter 737 Prediction Again
As a calm and domineering voice sounded, the Duke slowly approached: "Your Majesty, I implore you to order the troops to reinforce Master Zhao!"
And he also has to personally take action to deal with the six kings and completely clear the way for Nangong Yue to succeed to the throne.
The night wind was howling, Hu Xiner leaned in Mu Qing's arms, and the couple talked in private.
She recounted her experience of entering the palace that day, then frowned, "Although the future looks bright, I still feel a sense of unease."
Mu Qing consoled him, "Nangong Yue is in charge of government affairs, and the Duke is in charge of the military. Their understanding and analysis of the current situation must be better than ours, so there's no need for us to get involved."
"That being said, is there anything I can do for them?" Hu Xin'er nuzzled into his arms. "You don't have to comfort me. I know that although the situation looks good on the surface, it has reached its most critical moment."
Once the Duke begins to wipe out the power of the six kings, the capital is bound to become restless.
Because no matter how they fought before, the six kings were all scattered and as long as they didn't do anything stupid, they could basically survive.
But if an external force breaks this balance, the six kings may unite and put pressure on the capital.
"The Duke said that he wanted to let several of the princes return to the capital first, so as to intensify the internal strife among them." She murmured, and suddenly seemed to remember something. She ran barefoot to the desk and took out the green bamboo pen.
But this time, before she could even start painting, she felt a sharp pain in her head.
The pen seems to have its own life, moving across the paper.
Mu Qing said distressedly, "Xin'er, no matter how much you want to paint, you have to wear shoes anyway."
Before he finished speaking, he realized that something was wrong with his wife, and by then the painting had already been completed.
Hu Xiner put down the last stroke, and this time she painted very quickly. It obviously didn't take much time, and the room was warm, but she was already sweating profusely.
"Husband..." She turned her head and wanted to tell Mu Qing something, but she felt dizzy and fell forward.
In the dream, there was a sound of fighting that almost broke through the eardrums, and the blood clouds in the sky were mixed with the prince's wild laughter. The scene suddenly changed, and a person in a dragon robe was climbing up the white jade steps step by step.
The man suddenly turned around and saw Nangong Jin's cold and cruel smile.
"Ah!" She screamed and finally opened her heavy eyelids.
What caught my eye was Mu Qing's concerned expression: "Xin'er, how are you?"
"I had a dream..." Hu Xin'er began, only to find her voice was hoarse and her whole body was exhausted. "What's wrong with me?"
Mu Qing touched her forehead, his eyes slightly red. "Ever since you suddenly got up to paint that night, you've had a high fever and haven't gone away. You've been in a coma for three whole days!"
"What?" Hu Xin'er suddenly felt a tightness in her chest and gasped for breath. "Go get the painting on my desk. I... I can't remember this dream anymore. Mu Qing, the prince's army is about to attack the capital!"
"Don't worry, the prince's troops are not strong enough to capture the capital. Even if he attacks by force, he won't be able to hold out for long without supplies."
Mu Qing comforted her verbally, but without delay, he took out the painting and said, "I sent this painting to the palace the day before yesterday and made a copy for Nangong Yue and the others."
He was extremely meticulous and trusted Hu Xiner's abilities, so he naturally knew the importance of this painting.
After hearing this, Hu Xin'er was relieved: "That's good... Do they believe me?"
Before he could finish his words, the door was pushed open.
Nangong Yue hurried over: "Xin'er is awake? How is she now?"
"Yue'er!" Hu Xin'er saw her as if she had seen a savior. "The deposed crown prince is about to gather a large army to attack the capital. You must be prepared."
"Don't worry." Nangong Yue frowned, and she held Hu Xin'er's hand tightly. "After seeing the painting, I immediately sent the Shadow Guards to investigate. Sure enough, they discovered that the deposed crown prince and the six princes were secretly colluding, and that some unknown forces were also involved, and they were marching towards the capital together."
"Then what should we do?" Hu Xiner asked in a panic.
In the dream, the capital city was breached, and the prince slaughtered half of the city with the help of the King of Qi, and then killed the King of Qi and successfully ascended the throne.
The pile of corpses was like a mountain, devoured by the flames, and blood flowed all over the bluestone street.
She and Mu Qing escaped with their lives, but on the way they received the news that Lu Yunjue had died in battle in Qingzhou.
Nangong Yue bit her lip, rarely showing a dejected look, but it only lasted for a moment.
She soon cheered up: "Don't worry, if they were to attack the city, we wouldn't be able to defend it. But now that we've learned the news in advance, we can still fight!"
The city gate is the most important checkpoint.
Advance preparation means more powerful weapons.
"But they are so numerous and powerful." Hu Xin'er was very panicked. Somehow, she always felt that those scenes were not just a precognitive dream, but more like something that had really happened and was now gushing out from the depths of her memory.
That kind of dying heart palpitation made her never want to experience it again in her life.
"Little girl, don't panic!" The Duke's calm voice came from outside the door. "From ancient times to the present, the few have often won battles against the many. The capital is the seat of the dragon vein. With me here to defend it, these traitors will be beheaded at the gate."
Just as Nangong Yue said, if it was a surprise attack and the city gate was breached first, then his chance of winning would only be 50-50. But now they have already grasped the movements of the deposed prince in advance, so his chance of winning has reached 70%!
"Is that so?" Hu Xiner just felt a severe headache.
She didn't know what they talked about after that, and she fell into a deep sleep again.
Mu Qing called out twice, but she didn't respond, and he became extremely upset.
"Don't worry, she is awake at least, and her condition should be getting better." Nangong Yue waited for a while, but had to leave because of the busy palace affairs.
As soon as I opened the door, I found that the Duke had been guarding here.
"That girl can actually predict the future with just a pen. It shows that she is definitely not an ordinary person. Now she has a high fever. I'm afraid it's because she leaked the secret and suffered backlash!" He said to Nangong Yue in a low voice.
Nangong Yue also had this premonition in her heart: "Will Xin'er be..."
She paused mid-sentence, her eyes suddenly sharp: "No, even if she suffered a backlash, I must find a way to save her!"
Hu Xin'er became like this just to help her achieve her great cause, she must never give up on Xin'er.
Duke Xuanyuan's eyes flickered slightly. "Your Highness, the overall situation should be prioritized at this moment. First, defeat the deposed Crown Prince's army and resolve the current crisis. Otherwise, everything will be in vain."
Nangong Yue naturally understood this principle: "Let's first find out all the traitors in the capital!"
She said to the doctors, "Treat the Second Princess carefully. If anything happens to her, I want you all to be buried with her!"
