Is this a coincidence, or...
Xiao Chengqi couldn't be sure.
Rong Fei looked at his expression and asked with concern, "What's wrong?"
Xiao Chengqi came back to his senses, shook his head and smiled, "Nothing, I just suddenly thought that Qin Yang has been in the capital for so long, and now he can finally reunite with King Yannan, which is really a happy event."
Rong Fei smiled and said, "Isn't it? King Yannan only has this one daughter, and she is as precious as a pearl. Fortunately, he won this time. If anything happened to him, then Yue'er..."
When talking about the battle of Longcheng, Concubine Rong still has lingering fears.
Xiao Chengqi nodded, "Mother is right. Prince Yannan has made great contributions this time. It is a rare opportunity for him to return to the capital. He should stay for a while and spend some time with Qinyang."
At this moment, a palace servant suddenly came hurriedly from outside.
"Your Majesty, His Majesty asks you to go to the Imperial Study."
Xiao Chengqi was stunned.
He came here today specifically to visit Concubine Rong. Your father should know this. Why did he think of him now?
"But what's the matter?"
The palace maid bowed and shook her head.
Rong Fei gently patted Xiao Chengqi's hand, smiling kindly, "Since your father called you, I think it's something important, you can go now. Your mother has someone to serve her here, you don't have to worry."
Xiao Chengqi hesitated for a moment, then nodded gently, "Then I will go to the imperial study first, mother, please have a good rest."
After saying this, he stood up, bowed, then turned around and left with the palace maid.
…
Imperial study.
As soon as Xiao Chengqi came in, he saw that Chen Songshi and several other cabinet ministers were already there.
His heart skipped a beat and he had a vague premonition of something.
"Your son pays homage to His Majesty, Father."
"Stand up." Emperor Mu Wu pushed a letter forward, "Since you are here, take a look at this letter first."
Eunuch Li quickly passed the letter to Xiao Chengqi.
Xiao Chengqi took it with both hands.
The envelope had been opened, with only a thin piece of letter paper inside.
But when Xiao Chengqi saw the handwriting on it for the first time, he confirmed his guess - this was a letter from the royal family of Nanhu!
Two kinds of languages are used above. The handwriting is vigorous but hurried, even a bit sloppy. It can be seen that the writer was in a very urgent and nervous mood when writing this letter.
Xiao Chengqi raised his head, "Father, this is..."
"It's a handwritten letter from Tuoba Shan, the ruler of Nanhu." Emperor Muwu said calmly, "In the letter, he asked me not to hurt his brother. Nanhu has already sent someone to the capital to discuss things properly."
really.
Xiao Chengqi took another look at the letter. "It is said that Tuoba Shan values his only brother very much and their friendship is deep. Now I see that it is indeed true."
Although Tuoba Shan's letter was short, its tone was very sincere.
Emperor Muwu leaned back in his chair and asked, "What do you think?"
Xiao Chengqi pondered for a moment, "I think this is a great opportunity."
"What do you mean?"
Xiao Chengqi said, "The Southern Hu have been very peaceful in the past few years, and have not interfered with us. But since Tuoba Shan came to power, he has been ambitious and now has his sights set on us. Since he dared to send troops to attack our territory, it is a provocation! If he intends to negotiate, then we will have a good talk with them. If he is still determined to do it... he will pay the price!"
Tuoba Yu has always insisted that the sneak attack on Longcheng was carried out by him alone and his brother was completely unaware of it.
But whether Tuoba Shan knows or not, how can he decide? (End of this chapter)
