Quickly travel to save the cannon fodder? No, I will just flip the table

After Luo Qiuyuan got out of the Heavenly Prison, she went back to the palace on her own without taking any other action.

Not long after, a eunuch came to announce that the emperor had summoned him.

Luo Qiuyuan knelt down and entered the imperial study to pay her respects. Her father did not call her up, nor did he say anything else. She had been kneeling for nearly a quarter of an hour.

Looking at her father's gloomy face, she thought, what is supposed to come has finally come.

At this moment, the words Xiao Yunchang said in the sky prison were circling in her mind again, and Luo Qiuyuan lowered her eyes slightly.

Oh, Xiao Yunchang probably didn’t know that her father and brother also treated her like a treasure, and all the changes originated after she entered the center of power.

If it is really as Xiao Yunchang said, after that day, who can guarantee that he will be different?

After a while, a voice came from above: "Qiu Yuan, don't you have anything to say?"

Luo Qiuyuan immediately fell to the ground and said, "Father, it's all my fault that I didn't know the right people well, which led to my subordinates underestimating the enemy and causing us to suffer repeated defeats. Please punish me, Father!"

After she said that, the emperor's tone softened a little: "Since it was the fault of my subordinates, why do you take it on yourself? Learn from your mistakes and be more careful next time. Get up!"

Luo Qiuyuan breathed a sigh of relief. Sure enough, this strategy was correct. Admit the mistake first. But how could the royal family be wrong? It was all the fault of the subordinates.

However, feeling the pain in her knees, she did not get up, but continued to confess.

"Father, your daughter just went to see Xiao Yunchang."

"Oh, what did he say?"

"Xiao Yunchang was tortured but still refused to plead guilty, so my daughter wondered if there was some misunderstanding."

"Oh, you really love him deeply."

Luo Qiuyuan quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "My daughter dare not, but when I think about it carefully, the information Xiao Yunchang gave me before was not wrong, and the Gu family was originally foolproof. It was only after Xiao Yunchang told me today that I realized that it was the people below who were careless and did not get rid of Gu Liliang in the first place, which later caused the Gu family couple to be alert."

The emperor seemed to be at a loss: "So that's how it is."

After hearing about the Gu family's escape, he was only concerned with being furious. Then he caught up with the army's expedition and the defeat. One thing after another, he didn't pay attention to so many details.

"So what you mean is that these consecutive defeats are really as Xiao Yunchang said, the credit goes to him and the faults are all others'."

“Father, I dare not take sides. Merits are merits and faults are faults. I will not even talk about the Gu family’s affairs.

This war was indeed led by the Crown Prince and the Marshal, and Xiao Yunchang was just providing intelligence.

Judging from the results achieved by the Marshal in testing the enemy earlier, there is no problem with the intelligence!

As for why the whole army was annihilated in the end, Father, I dare to guess that it was because the Marshal repeatedly tried to probe the enemy, causing them to be alert, and then underestimate the enemy, which led to them falling into the trap completely?"

The emperor felt a little emotional when he looked at his daughter, who called herself "daring" but was actually making excuses for Xiao Yunchang in every word.

In the eyes of the emperor, Luo Qiuyuan is much better than his sons. She is calm, brave, resourceful, and cold-blooded. She can take action against people around her at will. She also has a reputation for loving talents outside. It's a pity that she is a girl.

A few years ago, Luo Qiuyuan said that she wanted to help share the burden, and after she did a few things beautifully, the emperor tacitly allowed her to get involved more. She thought that she had the hope of holding power, but in fact she just wanted her to be the whetstone for the prince.

The emperor would be heartbroken if any of his other sons died, but fortunately he had a daughter like Luo Qiuyuan.

However, this daughter grew up too fast and was very lucky. First, the Gu family infiltrated, and then the leader of the Wu State's secret agents bowed to her. She still had a lot of help like this.

However, he did not expect that the disaster would come so quickly. When the Gu family fled, although the emperor was furious, he was also relieved. If they were really captured by Luo Qiuyuan, who among his sons would be their rivals?

However, unexpectedly, Luo Qiuyuan pushed the blame directly onto Xiao Yunchang, and it happened that Xiao Yunchang was of great use at that time.

The defeat in this war was a foregone conclusion, and the sentencing of Xiao Yunchang was just an excuse.

He wanted to see his daughter's reaction at that time, and sure enough, Luo Qiuyuan did not disappoint him. What a cold-blooded lord and what a ruthless lover.

But: "Qiu Yuan, you didn't defend Xiao Yunchang in your palace, why are you defending him now?"

Luo Qiuyuan kowtowed again: "Father, I am just standing on the side of Lin Guo!

When he was in the palace, the battle was such a great defeat that the commander had been captured and could not be held accountable.

The Crown Prince's status is precious and should not be damaged. The other gentlemen will be the pillars of our Lin country at that time. Only Xiao Yunchang has a shallow foundation and is a Wu person. Who else but him can be chosen?

As for now, Father, we are the only two of us here, so I am telling the truth, and Xiao Yunchang still has value!"

The emperor glanced sideways again. She was really thoughtful, worthy of being his daughter. However, it was a pity that she was just a daughter.

Now it seems that he is wholeheartedly serving the country and his father, the emperor. However, as a member of the royal family, he believes that he is somewhat aware of the coldness in his blood.

However, if he is willing to assist the prince in the future, that would not be a problem.

"Then how do you think we should treat Xiao Yunchang?"

"Father, I think that now that we have punished them, the most urgent thing is to redeem the Marshal and his men. Why not let him lead the team? Of course, I will secretly accompany the army.

At that time, when the exchange takes place, the army can launch a surprise attack, and wipe out the Wu army in one fell swoop, thus putting an end to the humiliation.”

Luo Qiuyuan said the latter part with a murderous look on her face.

After hearing this, the emperor thought about it for a moment and felt that it was feasible.

Asking him to pay money and supplies to redeem people for nothing is just dreaming. How could the Lin Kingdom swallow such a humiliation? So, yes, they have to fight back.

Seeing the emperor's thoughtful look, Luo Qiuyuan added, "Father, regarding the shortage of ransom money, I am willing to share your worries."

Anyway, we will have to bring it back when the time comes. The gold, silver and treasures will be enough for show. As for supplies, we can go to the border town to collect them and give them directly to the army later. We won’t have to spend a penny.

Hearing this, the emperor was satisfied: "Yes, this matter will be left to you in full charge."

"Father, what about Xiao Yunchang?"

"It's up to you!"

"Thank you, Father!"

Seeing Luo Qiuyuan's unable to hide her joy, a meaningful look flashed in the emperor's eyes. He actually hoped that his daughter could fall in love, so that the threat to his sons would be much smaller.

As for how much trouble Xiao Yunchang could cause, the emperor was not worried. Just as Luo Qiuyuan said, he was just an outsider with little foundation.

When Xiao Yunchang was released from the Sky Prison, he had only been in prison for three days.

The moment he walked out of the prison door, he couldn't help laughing. The princess really listened to his words!

Then, there will be a lot of fun next!
