Feng Ningyan and Shen Ling glanced at one another as a bad feeling rose in their hearts.

The generals hurriedly followed Feng Wei and Shen Ling Jue as they walked out of the tent.

Moments later, Eunuch Dong of the Palace set down the carriage in front of his tent and stood in front of the soldiers with the imperial edict in his hand.

Shen Youhuang hopped off her horse and smiled faintly as she urged, "Eunuch Dong, you've worked hard on your journey. It's late now and you've announced the decree earlier. You can go rest now."

Eunuch Dong looked at the crowd and saw Shen Lingjue and Feng Ning Yan standing beside Feng Wei. With them here, it was time to announce the results.

"The imperial edict has arrived. Please receive it, King Yu!"

Shen Ling Jue didn't expect that the decree would be given to him directly, so he lifted up his robe and knelt down to receive the decree. Feng Wei, Feng Ning Yan and the other high-ranking officers also knelt down behind Shen Ling Jue.

Eunuch Dong unfurled the bright yellow scroll and read slowly:

Emperor Da Yue's edict: The Southern Army has rendered meritorious service in pacifying the Southern Mountain Pass, and should have been rewarded. However, King Yu, Shen Lingjue, and Yuwangfei, Feng Ning Yan, captured the Crown Prince of the Southern Wilderness twice, but released the prisoners of war. Furthermore, the Southern Yong Pass was suspected to be in cahoots with the enemy. The imperial edict, King Yu and the imperial concubine shall immediately return to the capital for questioning and shall not be delayed. The Southern Ning Army was not allowed to accompany them, and the Grand Cavalry General Feng Wei no longer had to enter the capital to report for duty. "Here it is.

Upon hearing the decree, Feng Ning Yan's anger rushed to her head. She raised her head and glared fiercely at Shen You Huang, who was standing behind Eunuch Dong.

Although Shen Youhuang's paper had already been intercepted by Shen Lingjue's men, it still hadn't been able to stop this bastard from passing the black letter to the emperor.

However, the soldiers had fought their way back to the Southern Mountain's City and fought their way back to the Southern Wilderness.

Shen Youhuang looked at Feng Ning Yan and smiled sinisterly, raising her head proudly.

After Shen Ling Jue listened to the imperial edict, his locked eyebrows slowly relaxed.

Lifting his head, he smiled slightly and received the imperial edict, then loudly proclaimed that he would receive it.

When the crowd stood up, Shen Youhuang smiled and said, "Brother Yuhuang, we'll have to think carefully about how to explain this to royal father when we go to the capital! This king has long advised you not to act recklessly, but you chose not to listen. Leaving Duan Liushao's life, isn't that an endless disaster? "

Shen Ling Jue shot a cold glance at him, but did not say much. He turned around to appease the indignant Feng Wei and the other generals, "Royal father is only asking, it's fine, don't worry."

Feng Ning Yan couldn't hold back the anger in her heart as she looked at Shen You Huang with a gaze as sharp as a knife.

"Of course we're fine! Even though there are people who distort the truth and fall into the trap of loyalty, I don't believe that evil can win! There was a deity three feet from the ground. The fallen soldiers of the Southern Yong Pass were all watching the traitors of the country from the sky. Beware of retribution! "

Shen Youhuang laughed heartily. "No one knows when retribution will come, but your lordship knows that the military's interrogation is waiting for you. Brother Yuhuang and Aunt Wang are on their way, and your lordship will have to escort the princess as well."

Feng Ning Yan was about to clench her teeth into pieces as she watched Shen You Huang swagger away.

Shen Ling Jue lightly patted her shoulder, "My wife, let's head back to the capital early. We can plot against everything and it won't be a bad thing. You don't need to be angry, royal father will believe us. "

Feng Ning Yan knew that Shen Chen Xuan doted on Shen Ling Jue, but she also knew that Shen Chen Xuan had no tolerance whatsoever for the sin of colluding with the enemy.

In her previous life, the one who was falsely accused of colluding with the enemy was Feng Wei, but who would have thought that in this life, even after using her life to protect the Southern Yong Pass, she was still falsely accused of colluding with the enemy, and even implicated Shen Ling Jue.

She did not feel at ease, but she did not want Shen Ling Jue to worry about her, so she nodded her head.

When the few of them returned to the tent, Feng Wei sat heavily on the main seat. His thick eyebrows were slanted in anger as he coldly said: "How dare you! "Deceitful and deceitful, the emperor actually …"

He endured the outrageous words.

All the generals in the tent looked at each other speechlessly. All of them had furious expressions as they cast their gazes at Shen Ling Jue.

Shen Ling Jue's expression remained the same, and said in a deep voice, "Everyone need not worry, I have already sent people to infiltrate the southern border army, investigating the person who sold out the Southern Yong Pass' sentry. I believe there will be evidence soon."

Only after hearing this did the generals relax a little.

Feng Ningyan also said, "It's not up to Shen Youhuang to decide in the court. With Prince here, he can forget about covering the sky with one hand!"

Feng Wei let out a sigh, and looked at Feng Ningyan pitifully, saying with some reluctance, "It's a pity that you guys came back worn out from the war and didn't have a day to rest. As soon as the battle ended, you guys had to leave for the capital in a hurry. I sent someone to deliver the letter to your second mother, saying that our family will be reunited for a few days. Now, I have let loose some empty words.

Shen Ling Jue gave a faint smile and said, "When the winter is over and the flowers bloom in the spring, I and my Royal Concubine will definitely return to Ningnan County to reunite with my father-in-law."

When Feng Ning Yan thought about how Second Mother was pregnant, she calculated the time in her heart and said happily, "Yes, next spring and summer, I will have many younger brothers! We'll definitely come back then. "

Only now did the generals know that the fourth lady of the Mu Rong family was already pregnant, so they hurried to congratulate her.

Feng Wei received yet another son, and he happily laughed: "I'm just as happy as you are!"

Seeing that the atmosphere had eased up, Shen Ling Jue was no longer worried. He said to Feng Wei, "I'll have to trouble Father-in-law to continue guarding the border. This King and the wangfei will travel through the night."

Hearing Shen Ling Jue's words, Jing Qi rushed out of the tent and called for the men to pack their things and prepare the horses. Since the imperial edict had already been passed down, there was no time to lose.

Shen Ling Jue and Feng Ning Yan bid their farewells to the Southern Ning Army's generals one by one. They only brought their chess pieces and lightly dressed themselves as they rode their horses away from the Dragon Fang.

After they left, in the room of Heng Wu, the beautiful maids were also packing their bags.

Hua Ruyu obsequiously poured a cup of tea for Chen Youhuang and complimented, "Your lordship has a brilliant plan to defeat the enemy. Your majesty will surely reward your lordship greatly this time!"

Shen Youhuang was in high spirits and nodded in satisfaction when she heard this compliment. A sinister smile appeared on her face. "Shen Ling Jue and Feng Ning Yan have let the Southern Wilderness' crown prince go several times. It'll be difficult to escape from the crime of traitorizing an enemy!"

When Hua Ruyu heard that Feng Ningyan was going to have bad luck, she became even happier in her heart and quickly said, "That's right, although they were the vanguards in attacking the Southern Yong Pass, who told them to have ulterior motives? They actually colluded with the Southern Wilderness and are not willing to kill that Duan Liushao! It is all thanks to the prince for acting as the overseer and taking control of the situation. Otherwise, how could the Southern Wilderness army retreat so quickly? "

Shen Youhuang knew in her heart that what Hua Ruyu said wasn't the truth, but she still took it to heart. He smiled and took a sip of tea as his thoughts shifted to the Southern Wilderness' Princess, Duan Huayin.

Thinking of Duan Huanyin's beauty, her confident expression, and her clear eyes that bore a slight resemblance to Feng Ning Yan's, Shen You Huang couldn't help but be moved.

Along the way, he couldn't help but spend time with her from morning to night. He really had to think carefully about what to do with this Princess Hua-Yin …

When Hua Ruyu saw that Shen Youhuang was lost in thought and thought about how to convict the Feng family, she took a few steps back.

Suddenly, a boorish voice sounded from outside the door, "Pei Shi pays his respects to Your Highness, Prince Cheng, and secondary concubine."
