I traveled through time and space and became the favorite of Her Royal Highness the Princess

Only after the burning pain in his buttocks and thighs eased a lot did Fang Yuanqi feel in the mood to discuss other things with Mu Lingshuang.

When Mu Lingshuang learned that the cotton he had ordered to be planted was too dense, he said without hesitation:

"You are much more proficient in these matters than I am. If there is anything unreasonable, just make the decision directly."

Fang Yuanqi nodded. In fact, she just wanted to inform Mu Lingshuang. Even if she objected, it would be of no use because she had asked people to pull out the cotton seedlings yesterday.

Along the way, the two discussed the arrangements before the wedding, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious. But just when the carriage was about to enter the mansion, suddenly a eunuch holding an imperial edict intercepted Mu Lingshuang halfway.

Fang Yuanqi didn't know what was going on and could only wait anxiously in the mansion.

On the other side, Mu Lingshuang went straight to see Emperor Qi after entering the palace.

When she arrived, most of the officials above the second rank had already arrived.

When Mu Lingshuang entered the court, most of these people were opposed, but now they are all quietly waiting for Princess Rong'an.

The atmosphere in the hall was very solemn. Looking at this familiar situation, Mu Lingshuang knew that someone was restless on the border again.

Thinking of the secret letter he had received some time ago, and the indignant expressions of the people in the hall, Mu Lingshuang guessed that this might be related to the previous marriage that Xirong wanted.

As expected, after greeting her father, she had just sat down in her seat when her father's majestic voice rang out from above:

"Three days ago, the plague in the Western Rong broke out. After their plot against our dynasty failed, the Western Rong unilaterally tore up the Hundred Years of Peace Agreement and attacked our border, attempting to bring disaster to our Great Qi."

After the Emperor of Qi finished speaking, as the ministers denounced the Western Rong's evil ambitions, Mu Lingshuang had a sneer of disdain on her lips.

Her father's acting skills are getting better and better. She told her father about Xirong's plan a month ago. She didn't believe that her father would allow Xirong to plot against the people of Da Qi.

It seems that this time, my father is determined to catch all the traitors in the court.

Mu Lingshuang, who saw through the Emperor Qi's thoughts, pretended that he had not obeyed the imperial order to mobilize the army before, but cooperated seriously:

"Is this really true? Xirong is simply going too far."

The ministers were discussing the matter. Judging from the performance alone, it was difficult to tell who was in Da Qi but whose heart was in Xirong.

But Mu Lingshuang didn't care at all. Even if the person sent by Xirong held a high position in their Daqi, it would matter.

She had secretly dispatched troops to the outskirts of Qizhou City, which is located on the border between Da Qi and Xirong, a month ago. Currently, the garrison of Qizhou is still 80,000, but 200,000 of the 300,000 people in Qizhou are soldiers, and the remaining 100,000 are also carefully selected strong men. It can be said that all the people in Qizhou are now ready to fight.

The reason why she has appeared frequently in the training grounds and drill grounds recently is to create the illusion that the elite troops are still there.

In fact, only a very few people knew that the real elite had already gone to Qizhou. Apart from the new recruits from the previous two years, there were only some old, weak and sick people here. If there were not 30,000 Yulin Army and 8,000 Imperial Guards guarding the capital outside the city, she would really worry about something going wrong.

Fortunately, everything is still under control at the moment.

Thinking of the news from Qizhou yesterday, Mu Lingshuang couldn't help laughing. She wondered what expression the traitor would have if he knew that their King Xirong had also "accidentally" been infected with the plague.

The most important thing is that her people have secretly replaced the third prince who had been imprisoned for ten years because of the failed rebellion. As long as the King of Xirong dies, the people stationed in Xirong by Da Qi will join forces with the third prince's previous followers to support the third prince to ascend the throne.

It would be great if everything went well, but if not, the other princes would be infected with the plague one after another.

Furthermore, after more than a month of plague, the Western Rong must have been severely damaged.

By then, the powerful Qi Dynasty would have been able to crush the severely weakened Western Rong.

If nothing unexpected happens, the secret guard who ascends the throne will lead the Western Rong subjects who have been forced into desperation by the plague and war to completely submit to the Great Qi in a very short time.

As for the plague, after more than a month of all-night research by the Imperial Medical Service, it was no longer a big problem.

Using both kindness and force, he subdued the Western Rong, and then dispersed those skilled warriors of the Western Rong into the army to recuperate...

If Liang Kingdom still doesn't know what's good for you, Mu Lingshuang sneered and said silently in her heart: Xirong is your lesson.

The dispute continued. Some people believed that troops should be sent immediately, even if only a vanguard was sent, which would at least have a deterrent effect and prevent the Western Rong from acting recklessly.

Some people also thought that the army should be reorganized and a large army should be sent to the border to subdue and scare the Western Rong.

Emperor Qi's eyes swept over these people one by one, and his unfathomable expression made it difficult to guess his true thoughts.

Only when everyone was silenced by his gaze did the Emperor of Qi speak slowly:

"I order the Qizhou garrison to defend Qizhou City to the death. Rong'an will march out in seven days and take over all affairs in Qizhou."

【Xiaobai: Guess why it's "going to war" instead of "leading the army to war"? 】

As soon as the Emperor of Qi issued the edict, all the ministers opposed it.

If the army sets out on an expedition in seven days, it will take at least ten days to half a month to reach Qizhou. Qizhou has only 80,000 defenders. How can it possibly hold the city?

All the ministers requested Princess Rong'an to go to the battlefield immediately, even the traitor who was unknown.

Only this father and daughter from the royal family seemed calm and unhurried, more like traitors.

How many of those who can reach a high position in the court are easy to deal with?

After a moment of confusion, he soon broke out in a sweat and realized that he was the traitor. His Majesty and Princess Rong'an seemed not to care at all, and... something had happened that he had no idea about.

Emperor Qi pretended not to notice the abnormality of the Left Censor-in-Chief. After the meeting, he left the indignant Minister of War and the drowsy Mu Lingshuang waiting in his chair.

After instructing the Minister of War on how to cooperate with the mobilization, the Emperor of Qi sent his men away.

Looking at his daughter who was acting so unruly in front of him, he said helplessly:

"The King of Xirong is cruel and warlike, unfit to be a king..."

Before the Emperor Qi could finish his polite words, he was interrupted by Mu Lingshuang yawning, "I understand, he will die suddenly tomorrow."

Looking at his daughter who remained calm in discussing life and death, the Emperor of Qi suddenly became a little worried.

"How are you and that little girl doing now?"

I won’t hurt people or scare them to tears for no reason.

What a poor little girl! It’s such a sin that she is favored by her own daughter.

Seeing his father suddenly become sentimental, Mu Lingshuang was a little uncomfortable and said:

"I'm leaving the capital tonight. The news of victory should arrive on the day I set out for the battle."

Just left.

Emperor Qi looked at his daughter's back, feeling proud, proud, and a little overwhelmed.

Before he knew it, his daughter had grown up to the point where she could share his worries, but he felt very distressed because his daughter, as a descendant of the emperor, had to endure more hardships than girls from ordinary families.

As he watched the figure gradually disappear from his sight, Emperor Qi's eyes gradually became firm.

"Someone come! Deliver the order..."
