Outside the Night Prince's Palace, Concubine Xian was furious, and looked like she would not give up until she got an explanation. There was an endless stream of people watching the fun, pointing and talking at the Night Prince's Palace.

But the vermilion gate remained motionless. No matter how you criticized, no one from the Night King's Palace came out.

Concubine Xian shouted until her mouth was dry, but she still refused to give in. She didn't care whether Chu Xuan came out or not. She just wanted to tell everyone present that Chu Xuan was a liar who talked about benevolence and righteousness with high-sounding words!

All the excuses for him not to send troops were wind disease and serious illness. He was a beast who disregarded human ethics for the throne!

There was a panic among the crowd, and a group of people walked quickly to the side of Concubine Xian, showed their badges, and whispered, "Your Majesty, please return to the palace as soon as possible."

Concubine Xian was unwilling to accept this. She thought the emperor was shielding Chu Xuan, so she shouted sternly, "If I don't leave, my child Han'er will still be trapped in the enemy camp. If I leave, how can I face seeing my child Han'er? The Night King has ulterior motives and wants my child to die in the Northern Frontier. I must ask him for an explanation today!"

The visitor seemed to have expected this and gave a wink to his companion beside him. Seeing this, the other person quickly grabbed Concubine Xian's arm and forcefully pulled her towards the carriage.

While pulling, he warned in a low voice: "His Majesty has issued an order. If you really act recklessly, then he will really no longer care about the Sixth Prince. For the sake of the Sixth Prince, you should return to the palace with me to avoid angering His Majesty, which will not be worth the loss in the end."

Upon hearing this, Concubine Xian no longer dared to act presumptuously and followed the man into the car and left.

It was finally quiet outside the mansion. Lu Yanluo glanced at the shrewd person next to her and complained silently in her heart.

[An old fox who has calculated everything. 】

Chu Xuan paused while drinking tea and looked at Lu Yanluo with a smile that made people's hair stand on end.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Chu Xuan did not answer but asked: "Am I old?"

Lu Yanluo's face was full of black lines, she was speechless, and she managed to force out a cold smile: "Hehehe."

The efforts of Concubine Xian finally paid off. The emperor finally had no choice but to compromise and sent a team of secret guards and elite soldiers to secretly sneak into the northern border to try to rescue Chu Han.

But this time, he disappeared like a drop in the ocean, and there was no news of him since.

A few days later, the King of Northern Frontier's handwritten letter and the battle report were presented to the emperor, confirming Chu Xuan's expectations.

None of the people who were sent out survived, and all died in the Northern Frontier. Not only that, the King of Northern Frontier personally wrote a letter to the emperor.

To be frank, if the emperor wants to rescue the Sixth Prince, he needs to show sincerity.

How to show sincerity? Of course, the emperor led the army in person and negotiated with the King of Northern Frontier in person.

As the news came out, the whole court was in an uproar, and everyone disagreed with the emperor taking the risk of leading the army in person.

But Concubine Xian was anxious for the emperor to go to the northern border to rescue people. As long as Chu Han could be rescued, she would not care about anything else.

During dinner, she personally went to the Taiji Hall and knelt down to beg the emperor to lead the army in person. The emperor fell silent, and it was obvious that he was refusing.

But since she was here, she was not completely unprepared. Concubine Xian stood up, faced the emperor, and said word by word: "If Your Majesty does not help me rescue the Sixth Prince, then I can only ask my father to rescue him personally. When the troops from Southern Xinjiang pass through the border, Your Majesty must not panic. I will definitely give priority to the safety of the Sixth Prince."

The emperor's expression suddenly changed: "Are you threatening me?"

Concubine Xian refused to give in and stared into the emperor's eyes. "I have no other choice. For the Sixth Prince to return to me safely, I have no other choice. Please make the decision, Your Majesty."

Does he have any choice? The northern border is already at war. If there is another dispute in the southern border, Tianji will be destroyed in his hands. A hundred years later, how can he face his ancestors?

"Okay." The emperor nodded and looked at Concubine Xian with a cold look in his eyes: "As you wish, I will lead the army in person soon. Are you satisfied?"

The virtuous concubine was naturally satisfied, bowed and left.

On the second day, the news that the emperor was about to lead the army in person shocked the court and the public. Three days later, the emperor inspected the troops at the Meridian Gate and set out on the road to the northern border.

At the Fulai Restaurant, Lu Yanluo and Chu Xuan disguised themselves and mingled with the crowd, watching with their own eyes the emperor in bright yellow armor walking further and further away.

"Do you think he went there for Chu Han or because of Concubine Xian?"

Chu Xuan sneered: "I guess he is doing this for Southern Xinjiang."

Not long after the emperor left the capital, good news came from the Night King's Palace. It was said that a famous doctor passed by the capital and personally examined the Night King. The Night King is now able to get up.

Guantuo City in northern Xinjiang.

The emperor and Northern Frontier King Yueming stood opposite each other, both of them were aggressive.

"Emperor Tianji, I never thought that you and I would meet here today."

The emperor was on high alert and said bluntly, "You asked me to come, and now I am here. When will you withdraw your troops and let them in?"

The King of Northern Frontier laughed disdainfully: "When did I ever say that I would withdraw my troops and let them in? Capture them!"

Following a loud shout from the King of Northern Frontier, hundreds of Northern Frontier soldiers suddenly jumped out from behind the surrounding hills and surrounded the emperor and the Tianji soldiers on the spot.

The emperor was furious: "You are kidding! How dare you deceive me!"

The King of Northern Frontier waved his hand and ordered his men to tie up the emperor.

"If you dare to touch my daughter, you should have expected this fate. Take her away!"

Today, the army of the King of Northern Frontier is stationed in Sula Mountain, ten miles west of Guantuo City.

At this moment, there was cheering all over Sula Mountain. What could make them more excited than capturing the emperor of the enemy country? Every soldier's face was filled with pride.

The emperor was locked up in a dusty room, and the soldiers guarding the door spoke humiliating words to him, which made him angry and embarrassed.

When Yue Lengxin heard that her father had captured the emperor of Tianji and brought him back to Sulao Mountain, she came to see for herself. Standing outside the house and looking inside through the window, she saw that the emperor was in a dishevel, but he still maintained his airs as an emperor.

When the news of the emperor's capture spread back to the capital, it immediately spread throughout the capital. For a moment, everyone was in danger, fearing that one day the city gates would be broken and everyone would become countryless.

In the tense atmosphere, the door of the Night King's Mansion, which had been closed for a long time, finally opened, and the long-ill Night King appeared in front of everyone with his princess.

Lu Yanluo led people to Zhang Xuanlin's residence, tied him up personally, and met Chu Xuan outside the city gate. They were about to set off for the northern border.

Zhang Xuanlin sat in the carriage with an expressionless face.

Lu Yanluo sat aside and poured him a cup of tea, saying, "Master Zhang, as you wished, the war between Beijiang and Tianji has begun, the emperor has been captured, and corpses are everywhere. I don't know if this is what you want, but it's not what I want, so I'm sorry, I have to ask Master Zhang to help us quell this war."

Zhang Xuanlin snorted and laughed, picking up the teacup: "I had expected that the Night King would take action."
