Chapter 199

"My lord, the emperor announces that you will enter the palace immediately,"

After getting off the boat, Zitong hurriedly gave instructions, and not far away, Eunuch Xi stood in front of the sedan chair and waited.

When he came to the imperial study room, the emperor was facing a mess. Seeing him coming, he waved, "Come, come, come and show me why I just can't figure it out."

With just one glance, Su Ce understood the mystery. He picked up the sunspot and dropped it in the space in the lower left corner.

"Wonderful, this move is really good!" The emperor couldn't help but exclaim, "You're still smart, I stared at it all morning and couldn't find a way to solve the chess."

"The authorities are confused by the onlookers. The emperor has been watching for a long time, and his eyes are tired so that the humble minister can take advantage of it."

Busily pouring a cup of tea for the emperor, Su Ce stood directly opposite, "If the emperor is interested, can I play two more rounds with you?"

"Forget it, I can't take it anymore with my body, besides, I know you're not in the mood to play right now."

The emperor has always loved Su Ce very much, because he is his younger sister's child, and he loves the house and Wu. But now that Su Ce's identity has been exposed, he no longer has the right to enjoy the emperor's love.

Su Ce knelt on the ground, "Please punish me, Your Majesty"

"Oh? You are innocent, what will I punish you for?"

Sitting on the dragon pedal, the emperor drank tea while looking at his face, which was more handsome than a woman. "No, I still look a bit like the eldest princess, why not? Maybe it's because they have lived together for a long time, and there are some similarities, but I didn't even see it."

As soon as these words came out, Su Ce lowered his head even lower, "I beg the emperor to forgive me, this is a mistake committed by my father twenty years ago, but my father definitely did not intend to hide it, please forgive me the county palace , forgive my father.”

"Oh, you are such a filial child, you have been humiliated like this, and you still want to intercede for your father?" The emperor sneered, but he was impressed by his filial piety, "I heard that you have left the county palace, and Don't plan to go back?"

Things in the world cannot be hidden from the emperor, probably before he was summoned into the palace, his whereabouts in the past fifteen days had already been investigated clearly.

Su Ce nodded, "Yes, since I'm not the concubine of the mother... the eldest princess's biological child, I have no right to rely on the county palace. How the emperor wants to punish, I will follow the imperial order."

The emperor put down his teacup and leaned forward, "Who said I will punish you?"

Su Ce raised his head suddenly, obviously not understanding the meaning of his calling into the palace.

"You didn't make a mistake. It's your father who made the mistake, not you. Besides, you are loyal to me. Why should I punish you?" The emperor seemed not to understand this question himself.

"This time I announced you to enter the palace to ask carefully whether you really don't want to go back to the county prince's mansion. If you really don't want to go back, I can reward you with a mansion and make you a virtuous king."

What a big reward.

But there is no good thing in the sky, and Su Ce knows the truth that no merit will be rewarded. He clasped his fists and looked at the emperor devoutly. "I don't know what the emperor ordered, but I will go through fire and water to complete the task."

"Okay, as long as you have this heart, I will be satisfied."

After giving Eunuch a look, Eunuch Xi handed over the memorial that was just delivered today to Su Ce.

While he was fascinated by watching, the emperor explained: "This is the memorial sent from the border gate at eight hundred li plus speed today. You have also seen that since the border gate won a big victory a few months ago, it is now retreating steadily and almost missed. The commander-in-chief Shangguan Shaochen is also seriously injured and his whereabouts are unknown, I want you to lead a hundred thousand elite soldiers to support, this time life and death are uncertain and the task is difficult, are you willing?"

It's not that Su Ce has never led an army before, otherwise he wouldn't be so highly valued by the emperor.

Although he is only a small county king in the court, he has his own power, because he defeated the enemy five years ago when he was only fifteen years old, and became famous.

The emperor allowed him to enter and leave the palace freely in the future, and always announced him to play chess in the palace, which was very appreciated.

Because of his natural strategy, he was named the number one son of the capital at a young age, but he has not set off for many years, and there are other generals in the court, why did the emperor choose him alone?

"The emperor wants me to help Shangguan Shaochen?"

"You want to ask me why I didn't choose other generals, but you, a young county king?"

The emperor clarified what he was thinking, but he was not angry at all, "Accordingly, the matter between you and the eldest princess is your private matter. She has raised you for many years and has already treated you as her own flesh and blood, but she killed you ruthlessly." His biological mother, it is reasonable for you to leave her side with resentment in your heart, but if you have no achievements, how can you sit on the throne of the virtuous king?"

While speaking, the emperor had already walked to his side, "Su Ce, I have always admired you very much. You are civil and military, brave and good at fighting, and you are not inferior to other generals in leading troops. In order not to let you do those dangerous things, I have already sent you to the expedition, and you have long been a virtuous king."

Hearing this, Su Ce was shocked. Firstly, he didn't expect his mother and concubine to beg the emperor behind his back, and secondly, the emperor would sacrifice the position of a virtuous king for the sake of Shangguan Shaochen.

It seems that his guess is not wrong.

"The emperor asked me to lead the army to support Shangguan Shaochen, in fact, to protect him and ensure his safe return?"

"That's right, you are a smart man, and you are the only one who can understand what I mean." The emperor gave him an appreciative look, and the emperor threw a token, "I want you to take this military order and immediately dispatch a hundred thousand elite soldiers." As well as the ten imperial doctors in the palace, they will return to the capital first after successfully destroying the enemy army. The day you return triumphantly will be the day when you will become the first virtuous king, Su Ce, I am optimistic about you."

Asking him to help fight the war, but not being able to return to the capital with the large army, to put it bluntly, he was going to the vanguard for others, leaving all the glory to Shangguan Shaochen.

The fact that the emperor planned for Shangguan Shaochen showed how much he valued him in his heart. Su Ce didn't dare to ask, and took the imperial edict to leave.

Inside the hospital.

The little princess of Chaoyang came to the medical clinic to ask for a pulse when she had nothing to do. She was only two months pregnant and her figure didn't change much. It's just that the little patient was very serious. After being tortured all day, she lost a lot of weight.

"Mu'er, hurry up and prescribe me some medicine. I vomit everything I eat, and I feel sick when I see anything. If this continues, I will lose weight to a skeleton."

Chaoyang was acting coquettishly. After marriage, his youthfulness faded away, and he now has the charm of a mature woman.

Ling Muer shook her head with a smile, "Where is a pregnant woman asking for medicine all day long? Last time I prescribed you a prescription to prevent miscarriage, did you take it on time?"

"Originally I ate it on time, but recently I feel really uncomfortable. I vomit whatever I eat, and I lose my appetite when I smell the smell. What should I do?" Chaoyang's delicate face was wrinkled like a chrysanthemum, not only Ling Mu'er, even Shang Zhi and Jiang Xiang couldn't help laughing.

"All pregnant women have to go through this stage. Don't be impatient, the little princess, you must maintain a good attitude."

Chaoyang pouted, "I also want to maintain a good mood, but he must be a naughty boy for torturing me like this."

Chaoyang clutched his stomach, although he complained, his face was full of kindness.

"Okay, I'll give you some prescriptions to help you eat. No matter how uncomfortable it is, you have to eat well for the sake of the fetus in your womb."

Being reprimanded, Chaoyang quickly nodded to the only trustworthy doctor, "Okay, okay, I can listen to you, but you have to send this prescription to my brother's other hospital."

Chaoyang didn't know that Ling Mu'er had already learned about the other courtyard, she said mysteriously: "You didn't know that my brother had a private house outside, not to mention how beautiful that house is, and there is a unique waterfall Well, I liked it when I saw it, and I begged my brother for a long time before agreeing to stay for a few days, but unfortunately, I can only stay for two days, because my brother will be leaving in two days."

"Leaving?" Ling Mu'er frowned, "Xiaojun Wang is leaving the capital?"

"Yeah, didn't my brother tell you?" Chaoyang tilted his head and looked puzzled, "It shouldn't be. It stands to reason that you would be the most reluctant person if my brother left."

Realizing that Ling Muer didn't like to listen, Chaoyang hurriedly covered his mouth, "Don't be angry, Muer, I'm also seeking truth from facts."

Hearing the news that Su Ce was leaving, Ling Muer was already shocked enough, so how could she care about the mistakes in her words.

"Where is Su Ce going? Why did he leave the capital? When will he leave?"

"Why are you so nervous about my brother all of a sudden? If I didn't know that you only have Shangguan Shaochen in your heart, I would have thought you had some thoughts about my brother." Although Chaoyang said this, he still made the details clear, "The rumor is that The frontier was defeated, and the emperor specially ordered my brother to lead one hundred thousand elite soldiers to support, and I heard that ten imperial doctors from the palace were also dispatched."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chaoyang suddenly remembered something, his eyes widened and he tightly covered his mouth, "Oops, Zixuan said that he couldn't tell you about this."

Even the eldest brother knows?

Ling Mu'er was in shock for a while before she came to her senses, "You said the border was a big defeat? But didn't you win a big victory a few days ago? Why did you suddenly fail? Why did you send an imperial doctor there? Could it be that there are not enough military doctors? "Ling Mu'er suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and she held onto Chaoyang's shoulder tightly, "Chaoyang, please speak clearly, what else was said in the border memorial? Did Shangguan Shaochen get hurt?"

It was the first time seeing Ling Mu'er so nervous.

Sure enough, women who fall in love are crazy.

Chaoyang was so hurt by her pinching, "No wonder Zixuan didn't let me tell you the news, so you care so much about Shangguan Shaochen, you really pity my brother."

She glanced at Ling Mu'er contemptuously, but who told her to be a sister-in-law now? Chaoyang didn't dare to hide it, "To be honest, I don't know what's going on, I've also heard about it, it seems that some kind of general suddenly appeared in Fanbang , a person with great skills and kung fu caused heavy casualties in frontiers. That's why the emperor sent his brother to lead troops to support him. But don't worry, Shangguan Shaochen's martial arts skills will never be a problem. Hey, where are you going? I'm not finished yet."

Chaoyang stood on the spot and stomped her feet anxiously, while Ling Muer ran away like a gust of wind, her hurried voice could be heard from afar.

"I'll ask Shang Zhi to send the prescription and medicine to the other hospital later, and I'll go see Xiaojun Wang first."
