On the wedding night, Prince Chen announced to the public that he was seriously ill and could not even have the bridal chamber. Jun Yuqi immediately sent an imperial physician to the scene. When the physician returned to the palace, Jun Yuqi learned that Prince Chen was seriously ill and would not live for more than half a year.
That night, Prince Chen dragged his seriously ill body and did not even enter the bridal chamber. He was carried into the palace and requested the imperial decree to return to his fiefdom.
The next day after receiving the imperial edict, Prince Chen returned to Gongzhou with his personal guards and the newly married Xuanyuan Yunzhen.
Unexpectedly, on the fourth night after the two left, Jun Yuqi received an urgent secret report that the Xiling Kingdom had joined the attack on the Cangnan Dynasty!
At this time, Jun Yuqi thought that Xuanyuan Yunzhen had drugged King Chen, which made him seriously ill, so that Xuanyuan Yunzhen had an excuse to get away.
In anger, he immediately took people to imprison Rong Ranhua and put him in jail.
"I didn't expect that when I sincerely wanted to make friends with them, you, Xiling, would play tricks on me like this? It seems that the old villain Xuanyuan Haocang was deliberately showing goodwill to make me let down my guard so that he could take advantage of their unpreparedness and directly start a war against our dynasty?"
Behind the iron bars, Rong Ranhua was dozing off alone against the wall in the dark prison.
She was also shocked to hear the news of the war between the two countries. She never expected that Xuanyuan Haocang was so ambitious and actually colluded with Beiping Lu to divide the land of Cangnan Dynasty.
What then? When they succeed, will the next target be the smaller Zhan Nan Kingdom? When Zhan Nan Kingdom becomes Xuanyuan Haocang's possession, will it be time to start with the Gongsun Family?
Haha, this man is indeed a lunatic!
Even though the internal strife in Xiling has entered the most tense situation, he doesn't care at all, and even uses the internal strife as a cover to cover up his wolfish ambitions.
"Your Majesty, what's the point of venting your anger on me? Hasn't Your Majesty seen that I am just a discarded pawn, a discarded pawn that Xuanyuan Haocang left in the capital as a cover?
Ha, I didn’t expect Xuanyuan Haocang to be so ruthless. I thought he was preventing me from going back just to undermine my power and take away the power in my son’s hands. It seems that I was wrong and thought he was too simple. "
After saying that, Rong Ranhua stood up from the ground and took a few steps towards Jun Yuqi outside the iron fence. The two looked at each other, one was angry, the other was empty and calm.
"So, Your Majesty, do you think that even if you imprison me or use me as a hostage to threaten Xuanyuan Haocang, will it be effective?"
"Empress Rong, I don't care how you argue, but now I have received news that the one who declared war on our dynasty is your good son Xuanyuan Tianyu, the eldest prince of your Xiling Kingdom. You are useless to Xuanyuan Haocang, so tell me, are you useful to your own son Xuanyuan Tianyu?"
After saying this, the angry Jun Yuqi flicked his sleeves, turned around and walked away.
Now, the Cangnan Dynasty is in dire straits. On one hand, there is drought, and hundreds of thousands of refugees have begun to migrate southward. This time, Beiping Lu has mobilized the entire country and directly sent a million strong troops to attack the Cangnan Dynasty. Now, with the addition of Xiling’s 500,000 troops, Jun Yuqi’s initial wishful thinking gradually realized that he had actually acted too early.
If Jun Yumo were to suffer any accident on the battlefield, who in his Cangnan Dynasty would have the ability to protect him?
Moreover, now, people from all over the dynasty have risen up in uprising. Even if they were instigated by people with ulterior motives from other countries, the fact is that the Cangnan Dynasty, which was peaceful and prosperous yesterday, is only one step away from eternal destruction. The Jun family's kingdom is already in danger!
"Your Majesty, urgent news from the border!"
Back in the imperial study, Jun Yuqi, who was having a headache, had already broken a cup. Several important ministers and his princes in the imperial study were all terrified at this moment. Unexpectedly, an anxious voice was heard in the imperial study again.
The dusty border soldiers came to the imperial study with Jun Yumo's letter. Without waiting for him to kneel down and salute, Jun Yuqi hurriedly ran to him and took the urgent letter from the border.
When he opened the letter himself and saw the contents, Jun Yuqi almost lost his balance and nearly fainted.
Prince Ling was quick-witted and quick-handed. He rushed forward and quickly protected most of Jun Yuqi's body before he stabilized him.
"Father, what does the letter say? Did the young uncle take back the city we lost?"
King Xia looked anxious and didn't care about Jun Yuqi's current health. Everyone knew that the situation was not good, so he dared to ask in a hurry.
"Zhan Nanguo has joined the war. I didn't expect that Zhan Nanguo would join the war. They have attacked our country from the south. We have lost a city on the southern border!"
"What! How is it possible?!"
After Jun Yuqi finished speaking, everyone in the palace was furious and couldn't believe it. When King Xia said this, he almost bit off his tongue!
"Heh, isn't Emperor Nangong Yao of Zhan Nan a close friend of my uncle? How could he possibly send troops to attack our Cang Nan Dynasty? Impossible. Could this be a trap set by the enemy? The purpose is to make us transfer troops and then go to the border of Zhan Nan Kingdom for support. Then, Xiling Kingdom and Beiping Lu will be able to go all out to deal with my uncle?"
Prince Ling, who was supporting Jun Yuqi, couldn't believe that Nangong Yao would do such a thing when he thought of the relationship between Jun Yumo and Nangong Yao.
But when he said this, he himself was a little bit unconvinced. He thought it was a misunderstanding. After all, how could the urgent news from the border be false?
"It can't be fake. The letter has your uncle's seal and handwriting on it. No one can imitate it. He originally wanted soldiers and food. Now the soldiers can be increased, but the three countries are going to war with our dynasty. At least millions of soldiers' food are needed. It is consumed every day, plus there is drought in the north. How can I raise it now? This war is obviously not going to end in just a few months. If millions of soldiers' food are consumed every day, how can our Cangnan Dynasty's granary be enough?"
When he thought of this, Jun Yuqi lost all his strength. A feeling of despair instantly engulfed his limbs and bones, making him almost suffocate!
"Then father, you should send troops to fight first. Since a small country like Zhannan is going to join forces with Beiping Lu to deal with our Cangnan Dynasty, why not take this opportunity to take down Zhannan in one fell swoop and make it disappear from this continent. I am willing to lead the army to the border of Zhannan in person."
After Prince Ling finished speaking, he saw that Jun Yuqi had almost recovered, so he immediately clasped his fists, knelt down on one knee, and asked for the order!
"Okay, in that case, this time Prince Ling will lead 300,000 troops to the southern border immediately. But your uncle said that you have to send at least 200,000 more troops to deal with Xiling in Beipinglu. Who among you is willing to go there in person?"
The Xiling Kingdom sent out an army of 500,000 this time, but their regent only asked the emperor for 200,000 troops. When the generals in the imperial study heard this, their faces turned pale and no one dared to stand up and die.
"Father, I am willing to lead the troops to support my uncle. Please grant me your permission!"
King Xia did not hesitate, he stepped out and knelt beside King Ling, asking for orders!
Looking at his sons, Jun Yuqi, who was originally angry, felt a little better and nodded repeatedly.
"Okay, I approve it. I will immediately mobilize the troops and have the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Revenue provide full assistance!"
