Sister, you traveled through time too?

Jiang Dehai actually had no idea why his emperor was so worried and looked so solemn today.

He just stood in front of Tang Zhao's study and shivered in the bleak autumn wind.

It was already very dark at night, and Jiang Dehai didn't know who the emperor was going to meet next.

At this moment, the Emperor is discussing something with the Grand Tutor in the study. Is there anyone else coming to discuss matters?

"Godfather, do you know what's going on?"

"I always feel that the emperor has been acting strange lately."

"Especially last night, the emperor's expression changed drastically when he saw someone, and he has been like a lost soul all day today."

The young eunuch standing next to Jiang Dehai asked tentatively.

Jiang Dehai glared at him with sharp eyes.

He warned unhappily:

"Remember, this is not something you should ask about!"

"In this palace, if you ask too much, you'll lose your head. Just do what you're supposed to do and don't ask a single word that you shouldn't ask."

After Jiang Dehai finished speaking, the young eunuch finally calmed down and hurriedly apologized.

Jiang Dehai sighed silently, looking at the little eunuch and thinking, how come this silly child dares to ask anything.

Is this something they can find out?

Even Jiang Dehai didn't know what the emperor was plotting.

He knew that he must not ask too many questions and he must not get involved in these matters.

As long as you do your job well, you will be safe.

But Jiang Dehai looked at the night sky and found that there was not a single star tonight.

In this dark sky, there is only a crescent moon half hidden in the dark clouds, still shining brightly.

"It's going to change."

Jiang Dehai just stared at the night sky and talked to himself.

Then, out of habit, he buried half of his face in the warm fur collar.

In the study, Tang Zhao sat on a chair with a heavy face, and next to him was Dong Xu who also had a solemn expression.

Both of them were silent, lost in thought.

Until a report came from outside the door.

"Your Majesty, Young Master He has arrived."

After hearing this, Tang Zhao quickly asked someone to summon He Jue in.

He Jue had just learned of the summons from the secret guards of the princess's mansion and ran here without stopping.

Although they had to avoid spies along the way, they did not dare to stop for a moment.

He was still breathing heavily at this moment and quickly saluted Tang Zhao.

He Jue was very good at observing people's expressions and as soon as he entered the room, he saw that the emperor had a serious expression.

Even the usually cool and aloof Master Tutor had a gloomy expression on his face at this moment.

This expression made He Jue a little panicked.

I thought that the only person who could make the Emperor look so solemn was His Highness.

Could it be that something really happened to His Highness?

He Jue was secretly anxious, so he quickly spoke up, suppressing his chaotic thoughts and asked:

"Your Majesty, the great plan is about to be accomplished. What is the important matter that you are summoned for tonight?"

Tang Zhao nodded, with genuine worry in his eyes.

There were only three of them left in the room, and Tang Zhao had nothing to hide.

He said bluntly:

"The plan is a few days behind schedule. We are facing a serious situation now."

"The Cui family villains are in cahoots with Hai Yi. I'm afraid the number of their private soldiers in Shu has reached an alarming number."

"If the Cui family is not eliminated, it will be very dangerous to break off relations with Hai Yi."

"last night……"

When Tang Zhao said this, his voice trembled a little.

He quickly calmed down and said as usual:

"Last night, I received an urgent report from my elder sister."

"My sister left for Shu two days ago, ready to bring down the Cui family on her own."

"My sister's personal guard has come to me and taken the imperial guards away."

"Her secret guards have also left for the grassland to mobilize reinforcements."

"She told me not to act rashly, and she would bring down the Cui family within seven days."

After Tang Zhao finished speaking, he was heavy-hearted.

His sister is a weak woman, and she probably only has Xiao Yun'er with her.

Two weak women going to Shu alone, what's the difference between this and jumping into a bandit's den?

How could Tang Zhao not be anxious? However, the 30,000 Yulin troops in the imperial city could not be easily mobilized.

Once mobilized, those with ulterior motives will take the opportunity to launch rebellion.

When He Jue heard the news, he was stunned.

He almost lost his manners in front of the palace and asked loudly what was going on!

"Your Highness went to Shu alone!?"

This sentence was the only one left in his mind. He didn't hear anything about reinforcements or anything else.

He Jue was almost petrified instantly.

You know, this is no different from committing suicide.

In his mind, the image of the woman holding an umbrella for him in the heavy rain emerged.

He remembered her umbrella tilted for him,

Thinking of her bright and flamboyant appearance,

Thinking of her strolling in the garden in the heavy rain.

He thought of that woman, proud and wanton, standing in front of him and asking himself,

"A river, don't you want to play with me?"

She said that she wanted to show her talents and not hide in the darkness of the imperial city.

She said a lot.

He Jue felt a little depressed.

He finally understood why the Emperor and the Grand Tutor looked so grief-stricken.

The journey to Shu was a life-threatening one.

Even though the woman held great power, she walked slowly and cautiously.

But that was Shu, not the imperial city. She didn't even have any retainers or soldiers, no intelligence network, and no capable subordinates.

The Cui family was the dominant family in Shu, and her status as the eldest princess was of no use there.

How could He Jue not be worried? He was even afraid.

I was afraid that the arrogant and wanton woman would die just like that.

Even though she was so smart and calm, the Cui family in Shu was not so easy to deal with.

Can she really be safe?

But what can He Jue do? He can't even lead troops to support.

Because he understood His Highness's intention in doing so, which was not to alert the enemy.

He also understood that if he acted impulsively and led troops to support, he would definitely alert the enemy and reveal his flaws.

In this way, all your Highness' efforts will be wasted.

All our planning for so long will be in vain.

But He Jue really couldn't do it and could only watch His Highness fall into danger.

This feeling of helplessness made He Jue physically and mentally exhausted.

At this moment, he wished he could rush into Haiying's mansion and stab this traitor to death with a knife!

If he dies, He Jue won't have to worry about anything and he can go save His Highness.

But if they killed an imperial official in such an unclear manner, the He family would become the target of public criticism, and my sister and mother would not be able to escape death.

He hated it so much that he wanted to kill all nine clans of Hailin!

"Your Majesty! We can't just watch His Highness die!"

He Jue knelt on the ground, gritted his teeth, and said, holding back the grief in his heart.

When Tang Zhao heard this, his solemn expression became even more solemn.

His eyes were dark and the worry in his heart was about to break through his rationality.

The news from Chun Ke forced him to remain calm.

It was as if my sister had predicted that she would act impulsively.

So he asked Chun Ke to warn him five times.

But how could Tang Zhao not worry? This was her only relative in this world.

If his sister dies, what's the point of him living?

If his sister died, he wanted the whole world to be buried with her!
