A riding red earth concubine laughs, no one knows it is litchi come.
The emperor ordered the Eunuch Ming to pass Litchi to the empress, and then accompanied her after exchanging a few words of greeting.
"The emperor just came over. Why didn't you say that you'll stay for a while longer? Why are you already in such a hurry to leave?" The queen frowned slightly and carefully tugged at the emperor's sleeve.
"I suddenly remembered that I still have some matters to attend to, so I will be leaving first today. "I'll come see the empress another day when I have time." Yuwen Di patiently said to the Queen as he gently pushed her hand away.
Without waiting for the empress to speak, Yuwen Di quickly left his palace.
Walking out of the empress's palace, Yuwen Di let out a long sigh of relief. If it wasn't for the sake of the Fifth Prince, the Emperor would absolutely not be willing to enter the Empress's palace again.
"What a disappointment. I should not have come to the empress's palace today, and I would not have been so full of anger." The emperor grumbled to himself as he walked back.
There was not much to say. Yuwen Di was a little angry, he was already finding it harder and harder to understand, what the empress was thinking about all day.
The Eunuch Ming followed behind him. He had followed the Emperor for so many years, so he naturally knew why the Emperor was angry. However, this matter was related to the future ruler of this country and the source of the Jin Country. Since the Eunuch Ming was a sensible person, he naturally did not say a word and pretended that he did not see anything.
Yuwen Di was about to walk further when he suddenly thought of something. He hurriedly turned around and said to Eunuch Ming: "In a while, you will personally go to Red Luan Courtyard and tell him that we have newly acquired Litchi, and invite him to come over to have a taste.
Duan Yunfei could always come up with different ways to make Yuwen Di happy. "Therefore, whenever Duan Yunfei is mentioned, she can't help but smile. If Little Thirteen finds out that I have Litchi but wasn't willing to tell her, she would definitely be angry at me. "
Hearing Yuwen Di's words, the Eunuch Ming immediately replied and nodded towards him. He smiled and said to Yuwen Di: "This servant will go and summon Thirteenth Princess over right now. Thirteenth Princess will definitely be happy when he knows that there is a sweet Litchi to eat."
"That's right, this little girl has always coveted these rare fruits since she was young." Yuwen Di also laughed and waved towards Eunuch Ming, gesturing for him to go down.
The Eunuch Ming had just left when the soldiers guarding the palace hall suddenly ran over in a panic. They greeted the emperor and said, "Your majesty, an urgent military report has arrived from the southwest border. They are currently in the palace hall.
An urgent report suddenly came from the southwest border, and with such an aggressive appearance, something must have happened. After hearing the guard's report, Yuwen Di didn't have time to think as he quickly walked in the direction of the main hall.
When Yuwen Di returned to the great hall, he indeed saw a high-ranking officer standing above the great hall, waiting for the Emperor's arrival.
Upon seeing Yuwen Di returning, that person hurriedly walked forward, knelt down and kowtowed to the emperor. Then, he slightly raised his head, and said to the emperor: "This general greets the emperor."
"Daughter." Yuwen Di raised his hand, indicating him to stand up. "It has been hard for my beloved one to travel all the way back to the capital from the southwest."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Huang Can cupped his hands towards Yuwen Di, his brows knitted tightly from start to finish. However, this matter is of great importance and this general has no choice but to personally return to the capital to report it to the Emperor.
Hearing Huang Can's words, Yuwen Di's expression couldn't help but turn serious. He raised his head to look at Huang Can who was standing in front of his highness and asked him in a low voice, "Just what happened? Please tell me in detail, my beloved one. "
"Your Majesty, there is a small Southern Barbaric State at the southwest border of our country that has been submitting to our Jin Country for many years. But in recent days, when the Southern Barbaric Nether Domain changed to become the Emperor, they started to get restless. They always sent troops to disturb the people of southwest China and plundered their food and horses, with great intention of fighting against the enemy. " Huang Can slightly bent down and said to Yuwen Di.
"Our Southwest is strong, how could we allow a subordinate state to act so presumptuously? Where is the Great General of the Southwest, Liu Feng? Why did I let my people suffer bullying, but I was always afraid to send troops. "He's really old and no longer has the personality of a general." Yuwen Di pointed at Huang Can and said with obvious anger.
Just as Yuwen Di's words fell, Huang Can kneeled down in the great hall, looked at Yuwen Di with reddened eyes, and quickly lowered his head to speak to him: "Reporting to Your Majesty, this lowly general is General Liu Feng's assistant general. Half a month ago, General Liu Feng suffered from the Regeneration and has been unable to recover since then. "I didn't expect that the night before this official left Southwest, General Liu actually passed away."
"What did you say? Liu Feng died of illness?" Yuwen Di was a little shocked, he immediately stood up and asked Huang Can who was kneeling in a loud voice.
Liu Feng was Yuwen Di's personal Great General of the Southwest, who had guarded the Southwest border for almost ten years and had never made the slightest mistake. Who would have thought that he would die in the southwest today?
Huang Can did not reply, he only nodded at Yuwen Di, and then heavily kowtowed to him.
Yuwen Di slumped onto the Dragon Throne, his lips moving slightly yet he was unable to say a single word.
Plants withered while beauties aged. Yuwen Di's tone was choked with sobs. He still remembered the last time General Liu Feng went to the capital, he had drinking and chatting with him.
When a general dies in a hundred battles, a warrior will return ten years later. Back then, the General Liu Feng protected the Emperor's position as emperor and had been stationed in the southwest for decades to protect his home country. He died in such a hurry before he had a chance to enjoy his happiness. The Emperor sighed heavily, then closed his eyes tightly. This was probably the greatest grief an emperor could show.
Huang Can knelt above the great hall, slightly calmed his mood, and endured the pain he felt as he said to the Emperor: "Your Majesty, the military situation in the southwest is very urgent right now. We have always kept it a secret, and we do not dare to let anyone know of the death of General Liu Feng. "However, it is not the case that the military is lacking martials. I hope that the Emperor can make the decision as soon as possible and send his capable men to the southwest to stabilize the situation. This way, it will not cause chaos."
Hearing Huang Can's words, Yuwen Di also hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he nodded towards Huang Can. "General Huang has worked hard all the way here, so please go back and rest. I will think about this matter carefully."
"Thank you, your majesty." Huang Can bowed to Yuwen Di, then quickly retreated.
Only Yuwen Di was left sitting in the great hall.
Everything happened so suddenly, that even Yuwen Di did not know what to do.
