Hearing Dongfang Hao's question, Shang Yiqing's interest was piqued. Her eyes lit up, "Oh right, there's something I should tell you. Help me analyze it."
Dongfang Hao cheerfully nodded: "Alright, Princess, please speak."
Shang Yiqing looked around and saw a cold moon hanging in the sky. It was already late at night, so she said: "How about this, it's already late, and this place is very close to the Rong King's Manor. Why don't you come to it for a while, we can discuss more."
"That's good."
After returning to the palace, Shang Yiqing ordered the servants to pour some tea before speaking slowly, "I heard today that Prince Rong had fallen into an enemy's trap, and General Xiao had died in battle. He was extremely frightened, and just went to the palace to meet the empress."
"Oh …" Dongfang Hao was slightly surprised and asked, "Did you get a result?"
Shang Yiqing shook her head blankly, "The Emperor told me that Prince Rong did not lose the battle and had instead taken over Eastwood City. I don't know if I should believe him."
"You mean the Emperor said that Prince Rong won?" Dongfang Hao couldn't help but ask.
"That's right!" That's what the Emperor said, but I don't even know who to believe. " Shang Yiqing was still puzzled.
Dongfang Hao thought for a moment, then stood up and walked two steps, and said in a deep voice, "This matter should be based on the Emperor's message, because if there is a war on the side, the messenger will definitely report the situation to the Emperor as soon as possible, it shouldn't be fake."
"But why did the young eunuch say that Prince Rong and the others were defeated? Furthermore, they mentioned that Brother Xiao died in battle. Shang Yiqing shook her head in annoyance.
"Imperial Concubine Rong, you think too much. Of course, the emperor's news will have to decide."
"But what the emperor said might not be true. What if he's afraid of causing chaos in the court if the news gets out?" The more Shang Yiqing spoke, the more confused she became. "No, I have to go to the front to have a look myself. What if there's really something wrong?"
"Princess Hua-Yang, please don't be impulsive!" Dongfang Hao advised.
"The report that the Emperor received was from the military intelligence report. It can't be wrong." Dongfang Hao saw that Shang Yiqing wasn't willing to believe this fact and went up to persuade her, "The emperor is so concerned about this matter. It's a huge matter and no one dares to go against the imperial edict at this time!"
Seeing Dongfang Hao keep on persuading her, Shang Yiqing felt that it was a little believable. She pursed her lips and asked: "Could it be that Prince Rong really won the battle? That's great! "
"There can't be any mistake, I am also happy for Prince Rong. If not for him, we wouldn't have been able to defeat the rebel army so quickly!" A smile appeared on Dongfang Hao's face. It was obvious that he believed this news very seriously, and he was also very happy.
"Of course. Fang Zinan went to war because he wanted to help King Dongyu. Now that I've heard that Dongning City has been taken back, I'm sure you're very happy as a citizen of the Empire of Dongyu." Shang Yiqing looked at him with a smile.
"Princess is right. I am indeed very happy." Dongfang Hao saw that he had spoken enough and decided to take his leave. "Princess Rao, it's getting late. I'll be disturbing you and come visit another day."
"Alright, I'll send you out." Shang Yiqing stood up quickly.
Dongfang Hao turned around. He was tall and slender, tall and straight, just like Fang Zinan. Shang Yiqing was startled when she saw her back, and in a trance, she saw the scene where Fang Zinan was at home. Even Dongfang Hao's every move was similar to Fang Zinan's.
After sending Dongfang Hao off, Shang Yiqing returned to her room in silence. She looked at the moonlight in front of the window and fell into deep thought.
Early the next morning, she headed out of the Xiao Residence to find Ying Ying. Although she was still puzzled, she still wanted to tell Ying Ying about the news.
He had not even arrived at the Xiao manor when he saw the figure of King Xuan at the intersection outside. Could it be that King Xuan wanted to seduce Ying Ying again? As he thought this, he slowly moved closer.
Only to see King Xuan and the two of them arrive at the main entrance of the Xiao manor. They glanced inside for a bit before walking away.
No, this won't do. King Xuan had always had intentions against Ying Ying. He had come to visit the Xiao manor today. Could it be that he was plotting something? The more Shang Yiqing thought about it, the more worried she became. She could not help but follow along, wanting to find out more about it.
After King Xuan passed through the Xiao manor and headed towards the "Drunken Immortal Tavern" in the city, Shang Yiqing followed close behind. When they arrived at the "Drunken Immortal Tavern" and saw that King Xuan went straight to a private room on the second floor, they hurriedly asked the waiter for a room next to King Xuan's room. They pressed their ears against the wall and paid attention to the conversation between King Xuan and the others.
He then heard someone say, "Reporting to the King, there has been no news from the people we sent. Since Prince Rong has won the battle, I'm afraid that we will have to return to the throne soon. When Prince Rong returns, the title of Crown Prince will belong to him.
King Xuan said, "This king has called all of you here today for this matter as well!" At this point, King Xuan's tone suddenly became much softer. Shang Yiqing did not hear what he said clearly, but she heard the voice of the person who had just spoken, "Yes, this humble servant will make a trip to the Kingdom of Dongyu and personally kill King Rong!"
Shang Yiqing was shocked, could it be that King Xuan was going to make a move on Prince Rong? For the sake of being the crown prince, brothers would kill each other? No! She had to stop this. Even if she couldn't stop him, she had to tell this to Fang Zinan so that he would be prepared!
Thinking up to here, Shang Yiqing could no longer sit still. She left the "Drunken Immortal Tavern" and headed straight for the Xiao Residence.
"What happened? Seeing how flustered you are? " Ying Ying asked when she saw Shang Yiqing's nervous expression.
"I want to tell you that Fang Zinan won the battle and now that King Xuan wants to send someone to deal with him, I have to go to the Kingdom of Dongyu and notify Fang Zinan." Shang Yiqing finished her words in one breath, her face full of determination.
Ying Ying looked at her in astonishment. "You want to go to Dongyu Country?"
"Yes, I must tell this to Fang Zinan." Shang Yiqing's tone was unquestionable.
At this time, a servant came to report that Dongfang Hao was seeking an audience.
Ying Ying was very happy to hear this. "Quick, invite the Qi King into the manor."
When Dongfang Hao saw Shang Yiqing appear in the Xiao manor, he was neither surprised nor surprised.
"Qi King, you have come at the right time. If Princess Rong wants to go to the Kingdom of Dongyu, hurry up and persuade her." Ying Ying hurriedly said the moment she saw him.
Fang Fanghao was surprised. "How can we allow the wangfei to go to the front?" It's extremely dangerous there, what are we going to do there? "
"I'm going there to notify Prince Rong that someone wants to kill him."
Dongfang Hao still didn't understand what she meant, "Why are you suddenly looking for Prince Rong? Tell me why.
Shang Yiqing hesitated for a moment, then told everyone about her encounter with King Xuan. After that, she added, "So I will definitely inform King Rong."
Dongfang Hao thought for a moment, then said, "Since you insist, I can't help but force you to stay. However, I would like to ask you to agree to go with me. I'm originally from Dongyu, so it's time for me to go home."
"That's good too, with the Qi King, there's an extra person to take care of along the way." Although it was beyond her expectation, Shang Yiqing was very happy to see that Dongfang Hao also wanted to go with them.
Ying Ying saw that the two of them had settled this matter with just a few words. Moreover, Dongfang Hao was also willing to go with them. She originally had a good impression of Dongfang Hao and expressed her agreement, "If you go, I will also go with you."
