The urgent news from the front line about the Six Princes' rebellion quickly reached the capital and soon reached Xiao Ling's ears.
Upon hearing this sudden news, Xiao Ling was completely stunned.
She had thought that Prince Fu would mess up the entire Annan, but she didn't expect Prince Fu to be so bold and actually join forces with other vassal kings to rebel.
She doesn't understand.
What were the remaining princes thinking? They actually believed Prince Fu's slander and joined the rebellion?
Things have come to this point, Xiao Ling still has to make a decision, so as to prevent those princes from successfully rebelling.
She didn't want to prepare everything well to deal with the Chu bandits stealing the country, but then her uncles would take advantage of it.
"Chu Yi, this time Prince Fu's rebellion was caused by you. You must come up with a perfect solution for me!"
Zichen Palace. Since he and Chu Yi had already had a showdown before, Xiao Ling's address at this time became very casual.
She glared at the Chu thief in front of her with angry eyes, blaming Chu Yi for everything.
"otherwise……"
Xiao Ling changed his tone and attitude, adding a hint of sarcasm, "You don't want to usurp the throne and inherit a government riddled with problems, do you?"
Chu Yi: “…”
This little emperor really needs to be punished recently.
To be honest, Annan's affairs have been a bit chaotic recently, and he has also confirmed the date of his wedding with Chen Tang, so he has not been very free recently.
Therefore, the little emperor was neglected in the court.
I guess the little emperor has been developing secretly for so many days that he has forgotten about the itch.
"Your Majesty, I have heard about the alliance between the six vassal kings. Based on what I have learned so far, the power of these vassal kings is at best enough to disrupt the entire Annan Province. As for the rest, there is really no need to worry."
Adhering to the purpose of entering the palace for official business, Chu Yi made a clear guarantee first.
But Xiao Ling was in a bad mood, as she was always overthinking.
"Chu thief, you must know that those vassal kings were enfeoffed in six places in Annan. If one of them rebelled, it would mean that the entire state and even the surrounding areas would be plunged into war. Why do you think it is foolproof?"
"Your Majesty, are you saying this to boost Prince Fu's morale, or do you mean that Your Majesty doesn't trust the general you sent?"
These words left Xiao Ling speechless for a moment.
That's right, after all, she has always valued Shi Qingxue's abilities.
He simply knew that the impact of the matter had expanded, so he was worried about this and that. It was obvious that he did not believe Shi Qingxue's situation.
Thinking about Chu Ze's evaluation of Shi Qingxue and the situation he knew, Xiao Ling finally calmed himself down.
After all, everything has just begun. If there is any accident, we should wait for the battle report from Shi Qingxue.
The most certain consequence of this incident is that the war will probably drag on for a long time than originally estimated.
Seeing that the little emperor had calmed down, Chu Yi also explained:
"Although Prince Fu's rebellion may have been premeditated, he still doesn't have many elite troops. Facing the elite of the imperial court, nothing good will happen."
Xiao Ling nodded, agreeing with Chu Yi's words.
"By the way, there seems to be a rumor going around in the capital lately. I heard that our Minister Chu is planning to get married soon? His wife's name is... Chen Tang?"
Regarding this matter, it was the first time that Xiao Ling took the initiative to mention the name Shen Tang as the emperor after such a long time since returning from Anyang.
In fact, both the king and his minister knew it very well in their hearts, but they just kept it to themselves.
Xiao Ling never mentioned it, and Chu Yi never spoke of it either.
Today, it was Xiao Ling who took the initiative to break the deadlock.
Chu Yi became interested when he heard this, and stared at the little emperor in front of him with a happy look.
He was trying to see something from the emperor's face.
It’s just a pity that it didn’t happen.
"I didn't expect that His Majesty is so concerned about his subjects that he knows everything about such a secret matter."
Chu Yi spoke, his words full of sarcasm.
Xiao Ling was not angry, but took a step closer.
"I just don't understand, Chu thief, have you been sleeping well these days? Are you really not afraid... of being killed by Chen Tang in the middle of the night?"
At the end of her speech, her tone sounded mysterious and particularly provocative.
That's what she meant to say.
Because Xiao Ling knew very well that with the character of the Chu thief, it was impossible for him to be blinded by her beauty and leave no tricks up his sleeve.
She has always been suspicious. In fact, when the two of them were sleeping soundly on the same bed for so long recently, Chu Yi had been silently testing whether he was in danger.
But the current result should be that I resisted the impulse and willingly served as a pillow for the rebel for most of half a month.
This time she mentioned this deliberately, and her purpose was naturally to make Chu Yi fully trust Chen Tang's identity.
In this way, after the two of them get married, it will be easier for her to plot against Chu Yi behind the scenes and deal with the rebellion of the Chu bandits in the near future.
At this moment, Chu Yi's face darkened.
What are you talking about?
He had never revealed Chen Tang's identity and background, so why did the little emperor seem interested in asking about this today?
Judging from the tone, his motives are obviously impure.
However, he was certain of one thing, that is, it seemed that the Majesty in front of him was very disappointed with Chen Tang?
Or perhaps it was because he felt that Chen Tang did not do what was planned?
