"My Lord... all the silver... is gone?"

Uncle Wang was dumbfounded. He rubbed his eyes hard and looked again. The box that originally contained the silver was empty.

Marquis Yongyi was also stunned. He walked into the house quickly and looked through the empty boxes one by one. After making sure there was no silver left, he murmured:

"There really is an expert around Qingyue..."

Before Qingyue went on the expedition, he said that an expert had predicted that the Chu family would suffer misfortune in the future. Unexpectedly, this expert really existed.

The person who could take away the money quietly under his nose must be an expert.

Thinking of what his son said before he went to war, Marquis Yongyi looked extremely solemn, "Uncle Wang, send all the guards in the mansion to the ancestral home to protect the lady and the young lady!"

"Master Hou?"

Uncle Wang was puzzled. He heard that Bianzhou was peaceful under the governance of County Magistrate Xu, and there were no evil people or bandits. His wife and daughter were safe, so why did they still...

Marquis Yongyi did not explain to Uncle Wang, but just asked him to do it. He also ordered Uncle Wang to dismiss more than half of the servants, saying that he was the only master in the marquis's mansion now and there was no need for so many servants.

Uncle Wang felt something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what it was.

After he went to do his business, Yongyi Hou stared at his son's door and sighed.

"Qingyue, the Chu family has been loyal ministers for generations, serving the emperor and the country. As a father, I hope that the prophecy of the master behind you is wrong. How could that person be so ruthless..."

Marquis Yongyi felt extremely complicated, wondering what crime the Chu family would commit in the future that would cause the emperor to kill them.

Lin Yuejiao returned to the modern era and contacted the supplier to order two thousand boxes of self-heating rice and two thousand boxes of mineral water.

A box of self-heating rice contains 18 boxes, and a box of mineral water contains 24 bottles, which is enough for Chu Qingyue and his friends to eat for three days. If it is not enough, they can order more.

She planned to wait for the supplier to deliver the goods before going to find Chu Qingyue.

While sitting on the sofa and checking the balance of her bank card, Xu Xiyue in the projection called out anxiously: "Fairy, fairy..."

Lin Yuejiao looked up and saw Xu Xiyue's anxious expression, so she asked, "What's wrong?"

"Noble Lady Luo has left Luoyuxuan. Not only has she regained her status as a noble lady, she has also moved into Noble Lady Shen's Shaohua Palace."

"What's going on?" Lin Yuejiao felt something was wrong when she heard it, and immediately traveled through time to find Xu Xiyue.

Xu Xiyue was sitting restlessly in the room, while Luluo Hou was beside him, listening to the conversation between the young lady and the fairy with worried look on his face.

"Today, Concubine Shen invited the emperor to enjoy the lotus pond. They ran into Concubine Luo who was about to commit suicide by jumping into the lake. The emperor ordered people to rescue Concubine Luo. He learned that Concubine Luo committed suicide to wash away her sins out of regret for the serious mistake she had made, so..."

The emperor forgave the mistakes made by Concubine Luo, and Concubine Shen interceded for Concubine Luo on the spot. The emperor restored Concubine Luo's status and allowed her to live back in Jinxiu Palace because she was pregnant with the royal heir.

But Concubine Luo said that Wuyan was living in Concubine Shu's palace, and asked the emperor to grant her another place to live.

Concubine Shen asked to let Concubine Luo live with her, saying that Concubine Luo was pregnant and needed someone to take care of her, and the emperor agreed.

After hearing what Xu Xiyue said, Lin Yuejiao frowned slightly. Isn't this just a self-torture tactic?

First show weakness and pretend to commit suicide by jumping into the lake, then admit your mistakes, win sympathy, and restore your image in the emperor's heart?

She also used the trick of inflicting pain on Xu Xiyue, and the emperor really fell for it!

"Fairy, do you think Concubine Shen wants to use Concubine Luo to deal with Xiyue? Otherwise, why would she be so kind to help Concubine Luo and let her live in Shaohua Palace?"

Because of her pregnancy, Xu Xiyue was sensitive and always worried that someone was going to harm her.

What Xu Xiyue said makes sense. Could it be that this was the idea that Concubine Hui gave to Concubine Shen?

The question is, what use is there for a pregnant woman like Luo Guiren? Could it be...

Lin Yuejiao's heart sank, and she said seriously, "Xiyue, Concubine Luo might be a pawn used by Concubine Hui and Concubine Shen to deal with you. You have to be careful and avoid meeting Concubine Luo in the future."

If that's what she thought, then Huipin was too cruel.

Also, since Concubine Luo used the self-torture trick to attract the emperor's attention, it means that she and Concubine Shen had already reached some kind of consensus.

She was actually willing to be a pawn to deal with Xu Xiyue. Is this woman crazy?

Lin Yuejiao couldn't understand what Concubine Luo did, and Xu Xiyue was pinching her fingers anxiously.

"Xiyue understands. I hope that Lady Luo can wake up and stop risking innocent lives to win favor and gain..."

"You don't need to worry too much, lest it affect the child!" Lin Yuejiao comforted, "I will pay more attention to Luo Guiren's every move."

As long as there is a fairy, Xu Xiyue can feel at ease for the time being.

Lin Yuejiao didn't stay long. She said a few words of concern to Xu Xiyue and then left.

Green Rose didn't hear the young lady talking for a long time, and knew that the fairy had left, so she couldn't help but say, "Young lady, now that Concubine Luo has been restored to her position, we will inevitably run into her when we pay our respects to her in the future. Since we have to be on guard against her, then you might as well say that you are not feeling well, and don't go to Fengyi Palace to pay your respects in the future."

"One or two days is fine, but over time, the Empress will think that I am spoiled and arrogant, and the concubines in the other palaces will also say that I am disrespectful to the Empress. If the Emperor hears those words, he will misunderstand that I am a woman who does not respect the rules, and I will not come to Tinglanxuan anymore..."

Xu Xiyue stared blankly at the empty door, feeling anxious, sad and uneasy.

Neither this nor that works. Luluo doesn't know what to do. She thinks that when the young lady goes to Fengyi Palace to pay her respects in the future, she will have to be more careful and protect the young lady.

…………

As soon as Lin Yuejiao returned home, she received a call from the supplier, who said that the goods could not be delivered today and would have to be delivered tomorrow.

She urged the merchant to deliver it as early as possible!

After hanging up the phone, she turned the projection screen to Chu Qingyue, ready to talk to Chu Qingyue about food.

Suddenly, I saw a scene of an army at the gates!

"what's the situation?"

Lin Yuejiao was startled and could not help but sit up straight, staring at the projection.

In the projection, a large group of enemy troops stood at the city gate, unable to move forward, and the city gate was wide open.

Chu Qingyue stood on the city wall with a part of the remaining soldiers. The rest were divided into two teams and hid on both sides of the city gate, each holding a weapon, ready to attack.

"What is Chu Qingyue trying to do? The enemy has already reached the doorstep, why is the city gate still open?"

Lin Yuejiao was worried, and suddenly thought of three words. Just as she realized Chu Qingyue's intention, the system said them out.

[Host, this is an empty city plan. The enemy is numerous and we are few, and the power disparity is huge. Chu Qingyue is gambling on a way to survive. Judging from the situation, the Northern Barbarians have really fallen into the trap. ]

The northern barbarians had indeed fallen into the trap. Looking at the open city gate, the leader of the troops was hesitant. He wanted to attack the city but did not dare to do so, fearing that there would be a trap and the entire army would be wiped out.

At this time, a cold shout came from the city wall:

"Do you dare to enter the city and fight this general?"

With a whoosh, the silver spear cut through the sky, emitting a cold and chilling light under the scorching sun.

On top of the high wall, there was a man holding a silver spear, with a captivating cold light in his eyes, and his aura seemed unmatched.

He looked down upon the enemy, his cold eyes looking as if he were looking at a group of ants.
