As if afraid that Pei Jingyi would refuse, after Emperor Qingyuan finished speaking, the chief eunuch beside him quickly took out the imperial edict that he had prepared long ago: "Why don't you accept the edict and thank me?"

Pei Jingyi didn't know what he was thinking of, and said expressionlessly: "I accept your order and thank you for your grace."

Emperor Qingyuan was very satisfied with his arrangement. He walked down the stairs and patted Pei Jingyi on the shoulder, looking pleased:

"It is said that General Pei is brave and good at fighting, and has a high prestige in the army. I look forward to your triumphant return."

"What? Go to Youzhou! We only have tens of thousands of old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers. How can we fight against the 800,000 troops of Daxia? And we are at the doorstep of someone else's home."

"Besides, it's been so many years since Youzhou was taken back by several generations of generals. Doesn't this mean we have no way back?"

"The people of Daxia are used to using some sinister means of witchcraft. Whoever encounters them will be in trouble. The general just escaped death. Why did Your Majesty assign such an assignment to him again?"

A group of people were talking to each other, and Qin Lang suddenly thought of the gossip he had heard, "Did the general have a conflict with His Majesty when he entered the palace before? Otherwise, why did he let the general go?"

When he mentioned it, Bai Zhi immediately remembered that day when she went to Xie Shuyao's room to catch her adulterer, and happened to meet the general coming back.

She said angrily, "It must be that Xie Shuyao. She is a jinx. Nothing good will happen if you run into her."

At the same time, Meng Nianrui, who was desperate, thought of Xie Shuyao. She didn't want Xie Xun to marry Fang Yirou, and thought that Xie Shuyao's husband had returned, and she wondered if she could say this.

When she arrived at the Marquis' Mansion, she was still very nervous. After all, this was not a trivial matter and others might not be willing to help.

But she still wanted to try.

Just as she was standing at the door waiting for the steward to pass on the message, Bai Zhi, who was still furious, came out. Seeing the steward hurriedly walking in, she asked another question:

"What are you doing? You're in such a hurry."

The steward said truthfully: "The eldest daughter of the Meng family is here to see Madam. I will go in and tell her."

Bai Zhi felt it was irritating to hear the word Madam, and said unhappily:

"What are you spreading? Don't you see the chaos in the mansion? She's really good at recruiting all kinds of people into the mansion. Don't worry about this matter. I'll go and send them away."

After saying that, she muttered to herself, "It's so troublesome."

*

"You are the one looking for Xie Shuyao?"

Meng Nianrui looked at the woman in front of her, thinking that she was leading her in.

Just as she was about to follow him in, Bai Zhi drew her sword and blocked her way.

Bai Zhi said in a bad tone: "Did I let you in? Stay outside."

When Meng Nianrui heard her say this, her expression suddenly faded, but out of politeness, she repeated it again: "Please tell them, I'm looking for the wife of the Marquis' Mansion."

Madam again!

Bai Zhi raised her chin and said arrogantly, "She just had a miscarriage, so she probably can't see you."

Hearing the word miscarriage, Meng Nianrui was shocked, "How could it be..."

Bai Zhi said impatiently, "How could that be? She is a jinx. It's no surprise that she caused any trouble. Get out of here, get out of here, stop blocking the door."

After saying this, Bai Zhi pretended to leave. Before leaving, she told the steward: "From now on, anyone who comes to see Xie Shuyao is not allowed to enter the mansion. What do you think this place is?"

After saying that, he did not forget to roll his eyes at Meng Nianrui.

Meng Nianrui's face flushed, she felt embarrassed, and left in a hurry.

From what that person said, Xie Shuyao was probably not having a good time in the mansion.

After much hesitation, Meng Nianrui finally gave up the idea of ​​asking Xie Shuyao for help.

Earl's Palace.

The Xie family was preparing for the wedding of Xie Xun and Fang Yiru. Meng Nianrui walked in and felt like a joke.

But if this can save my sister, it's worth it.

And her husband said he would not abandon her.

She locked herself in the room to get some peace and quiet, but some people just didn't want her to do that.

Not long after, Fang Yirou suddenly came to her with the wedding dress in her arms. After entering the room, she stretched the wedding dress in front of Meng Nianrui and said with a smile:

"Sister, do you think this wedding dress is beautiful? Although the material is a bit expensive, Brother Chongwen told me not to worry about money and to buy the best of everything."
