The group's favorite, the blind princess is both a doctor and a poisoner

It was already bright outside when Su Yuejian left the medicine garden.

When I opened the door, I saw Qingshan and Xuanshuang whispering something, with a somewhat ugly expression.

Su Yuejian put away the antidote and walked forward, "What happened?"

"Princess Beiyi is dead."

Qingshan replied in a deep voice.

"What's going on?" Su Yuejian asked puzzledly.

"It seems like he lost too much blood after being bitten."

Xuan Shuang said, "Your Highness received a message from the border early this morning. King Beiyi is furious and is gathering his troops with the intention of approaching the border of Liangzhou."

Su Yue's eyes turned slightly cold, and something was fishy.

Not to mention that Huyan Ying was strong and healthy. Although the wolf bites yesterday looked serious, they were definitely not fatal.

Besides, Hu Yanying died just last night, and it would take at least ten days for the news to reach the border. Bei Yi was already assembling his troops, which was obviously a long-planned move.

"Where's Hu Yanzhuo?"

Xuan Shuang said, "He's still at the posthouse, and the Xuanying Guards have taken over his guard."

"The Emperor left the enclosure early in the morning and returned to the palace. He immediately summoned his ministers to discuss matters. Your Highness will be heading to the palace within an hour."

Su Yuejian nodded slightly.

Seeing her about to leave, Qingshan stopped her and said, "The Grand Tutor and the Duke asked you not to return home for the time being. Stay out there and have some fun for a while."

His face was slightly gloomy, "Grandfather..."

"Don't worry, Princess. The Duke will be fine. Besides, the Prince is here."

Qingshan soothed softly, but his words were very firm.

After pausing for a moment, Su Yuejian still walked out.

"Princess." Xuan Shuang quickly followed, and Su Yue said, "Go to Ji..."

Before he could finish his words, his eyes went dark. Xuanshuang reached out and pulled the person over. He glanced at the person who had fainted in his arms, then raised his eyes to look at the blue-clothed secret guard opposite him.

Qingshan grinned, "My princess is tired, it's time to go to bed."

Xuanshuang raised his eyebrows. He learned the moves quite quickly.

......

The atmosphere in Qinzheng Hall was heavy.

"Your Majesty, Beiyi has 500,000 soldiers stationed 20 miles from the border of Liangzhou."

Taiwei Qin Rong said, "Princess Beiyi died because of the wild beasts tamed by Princess Minghua."

"Now that Beiyi has stationed troops, war is inevitable, disrupting the hard-earned peace for the soldiers and civilians."

Lu Zhenting shouted in retort, "This is clearly a premeditated plot. How can you pin the blame on a mere woman for a family-state dispute?"

Su Lin said, "The news came out only half a day ago, and Bei Yi got to know it so quickly. It's obvious that there's something fishy going on."

Prime Minister Shen nodded, "Your Majesty, the Duke of Protector and the Grand Tutor are right."

"Prince Beiyi has many heirs. Even if Huyan Zhuo and Huyan Ying were dead, King Beiyi wouldn't care at all. He sent them here, probably intending to abandon them."

The prince continued, "Father, Bei Yi's visit this time is ostensibly to celebrate his birthday, but in reality it is to provoke war.

Xiao Heng's eyes lightly swept across the prince opposite him, and the corners of his eyes raised slightly.

The emperor's face darkened as he heaved a sigh of relief. "Lu Xiao is stationed in Liangzhou. How is the defense?"

"Your Majesty, the Lu family army has 300,000 strong soldiers and sophisticated weapons. If Beiyi insists on attacking, I am willing to lead the troops myself and fight for Tianjin!"

His voice was full of energy. Although Duke Protector Lu Zhenting was old, his murderous aura remained unchanged.

The Grand Commandant glanced at the person in the upper position and said, "The old Duke is old and has a hard time. He may have the will but not the strength to fight. In my opinion, we should give the opportunity to the younger generation."

The ministers all followed suit, and suddenly someone sighed, "If the Regent could still lead the army to fight, Bei Yi would surely not dare to act rashly."

Everyone looked up and saw the man sitting below the emperor. He was wearing a black gold python robe and looked very noble. Everyone was extremely anxious, but his face remained cold and indifferent.

It was said that he was poisoned, but everyone saw that he looked fine. It was a pity that he had already handed over his military power.

In addition, the relationship between the emperor and Xiao Heng seemed to be a little strange during this period, and the ministers were a little confused for a while.

The emperor frowned slightly and looked at Xiao Heng, "What does the Regent think about this matter?"

Xiao Heng tapped his slender fingers casually, his expression indifferent, "Accept the challenge."

The emperor's face darkened slightly, and he fell into deep thought.

The Beiyi people have provoked us many times, so this war is inevitable.

Now they have confirmed that Xiao Heng was poisoned, but what worries him is that apart from Xiao Heng, there has not been any talented warrior who can be of great use among the younger generation of Tianjin.

but...

Hu Yanzhuo had been allowed to see the firearms of the Grand Council before. Didn't he tell King Beiyi?

"How is the Military Affairs Camp doing lately?" asked the emperor.

All the ministers turned their eyes to Xiao Heng. They had heard that the military officials had created a magical weapon called a cannon. Although they had not seen it yet, they heard that it was extremely powerful and could defeat an army of ten thousand.

The prince said, "Uncle, the artillery has been developed for a long time. Now is a good time to verify its power."

Xiao Heng responded softly, "The prince's suggestion is good."

Everyone was even more confused about what the Regent meant. After all the talk, he didn't give any practical advice.

When did the Regent start to try to smooth things over?

The emperor's face was as gloomy as water. "Since we are going to fight, who do you think should be chosen as the commander-in-chief?"

The ministers all looked at the man in the black robe who was in the upper position. Xiao Heng glanced at him with his dark eyes and his gaze was cold. Everyone stiffened their necks and dared not say a word.

"I'll go!" Lu Zhenting stepped forward and recommended himself.

"Your son is willing to lead the troops in person to spread the great power of Tianjin!" the prince said immediately.

The Grand Commandant bowed and said, "Your Majesty, my son Qin Wei has fought in Northern Liang before. He is familiar with the terrain and has extensive military experience. I would like to offer my services to him!"

The ministers seemed to have discussed it beforehand and recommended Qin Wei, the son of the Grand Marshal.

The emperor thought for a moment before agreeing, "Okay, then Qin..."

"I have a suitable candidate." Xiao Heng suddenly interrupted.

"Who?"

"The Chief Clerk of the Imperial Household Department, Su Yanzhou."

Everyone was stunned for a moment.

"How can this be possible? Su Han... the chief clerk has never had any military experience and is just a scholar. Asking him to be the commander-in-chief is ridiculous!"

"It's bad enough that the Regent himself doesn't want to lead the troops, but how come he's so casual about recommending them?"

"Could it be that he's using his power to privately grant Su Yanzhou a better future for Princess Minghua?"

The ministers discussed quietly, but those who practiced martial arts had extraordinary hearing and heard every word the prince said.

After looking at the surprised expressions of Su Lin and Lu Zhenting, the prince spoke.

"Uncle Emperor, the selection of the head coach is a matter of great importance. This is inappropriate."

The emperor's face darkened. "Talking about war on paper is child's play. Su Yanzhou lacks experience and is unfit for the job."

"I appoint Qin Wei as commander-in-chief and Lu Lang as vanguard, leading an army of 200,000 to support Liangzhou. The Military Affairs Battalion will work together with the Ministry of War to fight against Bei Yi!"

"Yes!"

Glancing at Lu Zhenting's gloomy face, Taiwei Qin Rong smiled triumphantly.

The Taiwei Mansion had not had any real power over the military in these years. Now that he was reused by the emperor, Qin Rong was so happy that he walked out of the Qinzheng Hall and strode back to the mansion.

Su Lin and Lu Zhenting wanted to ask Xiao Heng what he meant, but they were one step too late for the prince, so they had to leave first.

The Crown Prince was puzzled and curious, "Why did the Emperor's uncle recommend Yan Zhou? Is it really because of Princess Minghua?"

Xiao Heng glared at him and asked instead, "Have you investigated the hunting ground matter?"
