"What did you say?" Upon hearing Su Xuening's words, Xuan Yuan Yu instantly became excited.
Even Pei Luo looked at Su Xuening in shock.
The military tally for the Su family army hasn't been found yet, has it? Could it be that the girl already knows where it is?
Su Xuening looked at the agitated Xuan Yuan Yu and said coldly, "The military tally of the Su family army that Su Huiyan presented to the Emperor was fake. You couldn't possibly not know that, could you?"
Xuanyuan Yu suddenly narrowed his eyes.
Is the military tally of the Su family army that my mother has fake?
No wonder my mother so easily presented that military tally to my father. She knew it was fake and that even with it, she couldn't command the Su family army. That's why she used it to get her own concubine status back.
Moreover, even though the Emperor obtained the military tally, he was indeed unable to subdue the Su family army. It turned out that the military tally was fake!
The Imperial Guards were terrified when they heard such a secret.
These things seemed to be things they shouldn't hear, but since it was already like this, they couldn't avoid them even if they wanted to.
I hope Your Highness won't silence them!
These secrets were overheard not only by Xuanyuan Yu and the Imperial Guards, but also by Xuanyuan Zhi, who was hiding in another corner.
It turns out that Consort Su didn't actually have a real Su family army. No wonder Consort Su and Xuanyuan Yu haven't been able to truly subdue the Su family army yet!
He had always been quite wary of the Su family army, after all, the Su family army not only had as many as 300,000 soldiers, but also had formidable martial prowess. If Xuan Yuan Yu really controlled the Su family army, it would be too difficult for him to compete with Xuan Yuan Yu for the throne.
Who would have thought that the real military seal of the Su family army was actually in Su Xuening's hands!
Su Xuening is Xuan Yuanzhan's princess, which means that Xuan Yuanzhan is the one who truly controls the Su family army!
Upon realizing this, Xuan Yuanzhi broke out in a cold sweat.
Fortunately, he managed to delay Xuan Yuanzhan's return to the capital, temporarily trapping Xuan Yuanzhan in the north. Otherwise, once Xuan Yuanzhan returned to the capital, the Xiangnan army under his command, plus the 100,000 reserve troops given to him by his father and the 300,000 Su family troops, would make his military strength far superior to his and Xuan Yuanyu's.
Even if he gains control of the three armies by then, he probably won't be able to resist Xuanyuan Zhan!
Xuan Yuanzhi's sinister eyes were fixed on Su Xuening.
He had to get his hands on the real military tally of the Su family army no matter what!
Xuan Yuan Yu and Xuan Yuan Zhi thought similarly: since there is a real Su Family Army military token, it cannot fall into the hands of others!
"Where is the military seal of the Su family army?"
Su Xuening coldly said, "Have the Imperial Guards withdraw and release my master from the palace, and I will tell you where the real Su family army's military seal is."
Xuanyuan Yu frowned and looked at Pei Luo.
Pei Luo became anxious: "Girl, the military tally of the Su family army belongs to your father. You can't hand it over to them!"
This girl has been searching for the military tally of the Su family army for so long, and she finally found it. How can she just hand it over to them so easily!
Moreover, these people are Ya Tou's enemies. If they really get the Su family army, then in the end, it will definitely be Ya Tou and that brat Xuan Yuan Zhan who suffer.
Besides, they're just some imperial guards; he might still be able to break through.
With so many Imperial Guards surrounding them, it would indeed be difficult to leave with the girl.
Xuan Yuan Yu had initially harbored some doubts, worried that Su Xue Ning was up to something. But Pei Luo's sincere shout made the fact that Su Xue Ning possessed the real Su family army's military seal seem much more plausible.
Xuanyuan Yu stared at Pei Luo for a few more moments.
If this person is just Su Xuening's master, then he might be able to spare his life!
“I can let him go, but if he breaks into the palace again, he will never have another chance.”
As Xuanyuan Yu spoke, he raised his hand, and the Imperial Guards immediately took three steps back and lowered their bows and arrows.
Seeing this, Su Xuening immediately pulled Pei Luo and said, "Master, you should leave quickly!"
How could Pei Luo let her go? "If we're going to leave, we'll leave together!"
He came here to save people, so why did he leave?
Su Xuening gripped Pei Luo's arm and kept giving him meaningful glances: "Master, don't worry about me, you go first, and don't go to the palace again."
As Su Xuening spoke, she turned her back to Xuan Yuan Yu and silently said to Pei Luo: Wait for me in the western suburbs.
Xuanyuan Yu deliberately set up an ambush this time, hoping to capture his master.
Then the palace will no longer be safe, and it will be very difficult for Master and the others to enter the palace to rescue her.
Rather than let her master lose his life in the palace, she should find a way to leave the palace. Once outside, it should be easier for her master and the others to rescue her.
Moreover, my master died in the palace in his previous life, so he should be fine outside.
Pei Luo understood Su Xuening's meaning and finally agreed to leave.
Pei Luo glanced at Xuan Yuan Yu one last time, then lightly touched the ground with her toes and flew away.
Because Xuanyuan Yu did not give the order, the Imperial Guards did not shoot arrows at Pei Luo.
Watching Pei Luo disappear into the night sky, Su Xuening's heart, which had been in her throat, finally settled down.
Fortunately, in this life, her master did not die to save her.
After Pei Luo left, Xuan Yuan Yu couldn't wait to ask Su Xue Ning, "Where is the real military seal of the Su family army?"
Once Su Xuening was certain that Pei Luo had left the palace safely, she was no longer afraid of Xuan Yuan Yu: "Only I know where the real Su family army's military seal is. I can take you to get it, but I can't tell you where it is."
Upon hearing this excuse, Xuan Yuan Yu instantly flew into a rage: "You're playing me!"
Su Xuening remained calm and said unhurriedly, "How could I be playing you? The military token is my means of self-protection. If I tell you where it is now, wouldn't I be courting death? I'll take you to get it, and once you have the token, you'll let me go. Isn't that a fair deal?"
Xuan Yuan Yu narrowed his eyes; her argument simply didn't make sense: "If I really wanted to kill you, I could do so once I got the military seal!"
Su Xuening raised an eyebrow: "So it all depends on whether you dare to accept this deal?"
Xuanyuan Yu frowned, staring intently at Su Xuening, analyzing in his mind whether what she said was true.
Su Xuening's clear eyes seemed to see right through Xuan Yuan Yu.
She knew that no matter how much she doubted what she said, he would eventually give in.
He desperately wanted the real military seal of the Su family army!
Su Xuening didn't press him, and deliberately remained calm, saying, "It's too late today, and I don't have the energy to take you to find the military token. Come find me again when you've thought it through!"
As Su Xuening spoke, she turned and entered the Cold Palace.
So be it, she'll stay in the Cold Palace. She spent six or seven years there in her previous life anyway. Compared to the luxurious beds and soft pillows of other palaces, the Cold Palace is actually quite comfortable.
Seeing Su Xuening's indifferent back, neither Xuan Yuan Yu nor Xuan Yuan Zhi, who was hiding in the shadows, could remain indifferent.
The two of them were thinking the same thing: He had to get the real military tally of the Su family army!
