As soon as they left, only Chu Jinzheng and general Bai were left in the imperial study.

Chu Jinzheng asked general Bai about the border.

General Bai answered one by one.

Chu Jinzheng's face is deep. Huachen has been closed to the outside world for many years, and its border is a natural barrier. It has always thought that as long as there are enough troops, it can resist the attack of other countries. Unexpectedly, it was broken by Chizhou a few months ago. At the end of the peace talks, Chizhou troops withdrew. The city is back, but people are no longer at ease, such a thing can never happen again.

Outside the imperial study.

Bai Yizhu stands under the eaves and looks at Su Yuannian, who is kneeling in the rain in the front open space. When he thinks of Xiao Ping, his maid, who was still in a coma when he left the border, he finally feels angry. That day, after she was separated from the masked people who saved her, she fainted.

When she woke up, she found herself lying in a dirty and strange place. Xiao Ping was about to feed her with black medicine.

She held her body and asked about the situation. She expressed her thanks to the strong man who had saved her and Xiao Ping. She was ready to leave when she was a little better. Unexpectedly, that night, in her hazy, I felt someone touching her face.

She woke up with a start and saw who touched her by the moonlight leaning into the room. She cried out in horror.

Xiao Ping, who was huddled on the little couch in the corner, was woken up by the sound. Seeing the intention of the strong man, he wanted to stop the strong man in a hurry, but where was his opponent.

After that, the strong man tied her up and blocked her mouth. He worried that she was too weak. He didn't do anything to her for the time being, but he ruined Xiaoping. She and Xiaoping are clearly in a wolf's den.

Two days later, her father's men came and killed the dirty strong man on the spot, rescued her and Xiao Ping and brought them to the border.

She kept comforting Xiao Ping, telling him not to cry, forgetting what happened, and taking him around the border, telling him that they were safe.

Unexpectedly, Su Yuannian chased her to the border and continued to force her to hand over the letter and jade pendant. When she was on the city tower, he still laughed at her and Xiaoping in public. He didn't know how he knew what happened in the small village.

Xiao Ping couldn't bear it for a moment, so he jumped into the tower.

Now, watching Su Yuannian kneel down, someone can finally suppress Su Yuannian. Bai Yizhu can't help but be glad that Su Yuannian will have this day!

Su Yuannian looks up and looks at his Bai Yizhu. His eyes flash with fierce silk.

When the Empress Dowager arrived in the soft sedan chair, she saw Su Yuannian kneeling in the rain outside the imperial study from a distance. Her face was not good immediately. When the soft sedan chair came near, she stepped down from the soft sedan chair and approached Su Yuannian, ordering the eunuchs to retreat.

The old lady quickly put on an umbrella and put on a cloak for the Empress Dowager. She followed her closely to prevent the Empress Dowager from catching cold.

The Empress Dowager did not immediately let Su Yuannian get up. She stood still in front of Su Yuannian, lowered her voice and asked, "what's the matter?"

"It's all due to my carelessness. The letter and the jade pendant in the secret room of my study were stolen by Bai Yizhu. I want to catch her as soon as possible and get her things back. I don't want her to escape to the border. Now they don't admit that they stole these two things, and they can't let their cousin know about it. " In front of the empress dowager, Su Yuannian did not hide, but also spoke in a low voice. This matter is very important.

The Empress Dowager's face suddenly changed. She suddenly looked back at the person standing in the corridor, "is that her?"

Su Yuannian: "yes."
