The Regent's Little Wife

Chapter 51: Sanjay Dies in Battle

He also suggested that the emperor send the crown prince to welcome them back to the court in triumph. The emperor thought they had won the battle, so he gave the crown prince 10,000 troops to welcome Sangjie. The emperor didn't expect that Sangjie was not dead, but then he thought, well, let him die. Let's deal with him slowly later. Anyway, there will be many opportunities in the future.

The prince led 10,000 troops and arrived near the border after half a month. At first, the prince did not know that Sichao had been defeated. When he arrived at the border, he realized that he had been defeated. The 10,000 troops he led could actually fight the enemy, but he was too cowardly. He withdrew his troops.

The soldiers in the town were exhausted. They hadn't eaten or drunk for nearly seven days. If they continued like this, they would die. Shen Lang usually only knew how to eat, drink and have fun. How could he know how to lead troops to fight? He hid in the city and was reluctant to send out troops.

Sima Yan, a small guard beside Shen Lang, couldn't stand it. So he secretly returned to the court. He needed to inform the court of the true situation. But the ministers in the court didn't know him. He was just a small guard in the prince's mansion.

It has been three days since he returned to Beijing, and he is still at a loss. He has not eaten for almost three days, and he dare not go back to the Prince's Mansion. He is looking for some food on the street.

He just happened to see Sang Ning and her maid out shopping. Sang Ning, the daughter of Master Sang. Although many people said that she was the prince's person, she was the daughter of Master Sang after all. Would there be any solution if he told her about this? So he followed Sang Ning secretly.

Sang Ning had already discovered that someone was following him secretly, so he came to the alley.

Sang Ning suddenly turned around and asked, "Who are you? Why are you following me?"

Sima Yan calmed down and asked, "You are Sang Ning, right? You are not the prince's man, right?"

Sang Ning didn't know what the other party meant. "Tell me quickly, what's the matter?"

"Princess... I am a soldier on the front line. And I am one of the prince's guards. My name is Sima Yan. The news received in the court has always been that we have won the battle, but in fact, our soldiers have been defeated. Your father Sangjie is trapped in a small town, but the prince is unwilling to send out the 10,000 troops. I really can't stand it. In fact, I am not doing this for your father, but for Sima Chao. The prince is giving the meritorious Sima Chao to others. I will never let this happen. Please ask the princess to find a way to inform the prince about this matter and let the emperor send troops quickly. Otherwise it will be too late."

"What did you say?" Sang Ning pulled up the guard on the ground and yelled when she heard that her biological father was trapped in the small town and the prince was hiding somewhere else with 10,000 troops and not sending out any troops.

"Is what you said true or false? Aren't all the news from the court reports of victory? The court didn't receive any news of our defeat."

"I don't know about this, Princess... Even if you are the prince's man, I hope you can see that you are Sichao's man and save us Sichao. Let His Majesty send troops quickly. When I came, they had already seized our four cities... If they take them down again, they will reach here."

Sang Ning was so angry that her whole body was shaking. Shen Lang...if anything happens to my father, I will kill you.

"I will take you back to the Regent's Palace and tell the Regent about this first. Then the Emperor will know... follow me closely..." They quickly returned to the Regent's Palace.

Shen Yan didn't know what happened. He was still reading in the study. Sang Ning kicked the door down and rushed into the room.

Shen Yan frowned, feeling a little unhappy. "What's wrong? What happened to you? Who made you unhappy again? Why are you so impetuous?"

After Sang Ning came in, she suddenly felt dizzy and she lost her balance and fell to the ground. At this time, he remembered that she was still pregnant, and she felt a slight pain in her stomach.

After Shen Yan went over, he quickly picked up Sang Ning. He found that Sang Ning's face was very pale. "Ning'er...what's wrong with you? Speak quickly."

Sang Ning panted heavily, "Don't worry about me, my father. Go to the palace and tell the emperor that we were defeated. My father has been trapped in the small town for more than two months. Those sent by the court are all fake. I also beg you to save my father...save him..." Sang Ning fainted after she finished speaking.

Shen Yan quickly carried Sang Ning to the bed and asked the court doctor to come over. After checking, the court doctor said there were some signs of miscarriage, but it was not a big problem and she just needed to rest. Only then did he notice that there was another person standing outside the room. It should be someone brought by Sang Ning. What Sang Ning said just now was not comprehensive and he was a little confused. He called this person to find out the reason.

So he went to the palace and told His Majesty Shen Huaian about this matter. Although Shen Huaian wanted the Grand Tutor to die, he dared not be careless about the affairs of the court. Regardless of whether the matter reported by the Regent was true or false, he had to send two groups of people to find out the reason.

So he sent General Hua Rong to lead 50,000 troops to the front. At this time, news came from Bingzhou. It said that Yu Chao's men had already captured five of our cities. When they arrived in Bingzhou, they were not far from the capital. The emperor knew that Yu Chao had already captured nearly ten cities of our dynasty. Sang Jie and all his men died in the town.

When the emperor heard the news of Sangjie's death, he was shocked. He really wanted Sangjie to die. But if he died at this time, his court would be finished. Now everyone in the court knew that it was the prince who did not send troops to rescue Sangjie, which led to Sangjie's exhaustion and finally the annihilation of the whole army. All he could do now was to comfort the people of the Sang family.

When Regent Shen Yan heard the news, his mind exploded. Ning'er must not know about this. His daughter is now seven months pregnant and will give birth in three months. If something happens at this time, he will definitely not be able to bear the news of his father's death. So he ordered everyone in the server to keep the news secret and not to reveal any news to Sang Ning.

Where there are sad ones, there are happy ones. When Su Dieyi, the concubine of the Prince's Mansion, learned the news of Sang Ning's father's death, she was very happy.

Sang Ning, Sang Ning. In the end, you still lost. Your father still died.

Sang Ning was locked up in Xilinxuan, and Shen Yan wouldn't let her go out at all.

"Shen Yan... I'm just going out for a walk. I need to be active even when I'm pregnant. If you don't let me exercise, it won't work." Sang Ning hasn't left Xilinxuan for more than ten days. He's almost dying of anxiety.

With her personality, she couldn't stay out for half a day. Shen Yan had no choice but to accompany Sang Ning to walk in the backyard. It was summer, and they came to a rockery in the back. Sang Ning didn't know why, but he felt very panicked. He already knew that his father was trapped. But the court had sent troops for such a long time and still didn't get any news. How is his father now? He wanted to know.

At this moment, he suddenly heard two little maids talking.

"You know I ran into the concubine's maidservant when I went out to buy groceries today. What did she say to me? She said that the princess's father had died in battle... His body was hung on the city wall, what a pity. The princess is pregnant now, but she can't know that her father had died in battle."

"Keep your voice down. The prince has already instructed that the princess must not know about this matter. She is pregnant. We cannot let her be frightened in this modern age."
