Tragic death and rebirth, I remarried the scumbag uncle on the spot

"Emergency news from the border! Urgent news from the border!"

The Imperial Eunuch quickly brought in the quarterly report. Xie Xu's expression darkened after reading it. "Now that the Great Liang is invading our border, the State of Zhao is also eyeing us covetously. They might attack simultaneously."

"Now we are attacked from both sides."

Xie Xu rubbed his brows and said, "Hurry up and summon General Yu, Marquis Wei De, and Pei Jin to the palace. Oh, and call Shi Yu to the palace as well."

"Yes, old slave, let's do it now."

Xie Sui received the summons from his brother and immediately went to the palace. "Go and tell the princess to eat well at night and take her medicine." Before leaving, Xie Sui casually pointed to a servant and asked her to pass on the message.

He also knew about the situation at the border, and thought that he would not be able to come back very late tonight and would not be able to have dinner with Awan.

……

"I can't do it anymore. I don't want to play anymore." Su Qingyu walked to the stone bench and sat down, saying angrily, "It's not fun if I can't throw accurately." Gui Wan could hit the target every time, but she could only hit the target once in ten attempts.

It was as if the game of pitching pots was designed to go against her.

Yu Guiwan chuckled and said, "Are you giving up just like that? But I think pitching pots is much easier than needlework."

"I'm not like you who can do everything, except cooking, which is my weakness." When Su Qingyu said this, she couldn't help but think of the last time Gui Wan asked her to teach her how to cook.

Just as Yu Guiwan was about to speak, a maid came running over and said, "Princess, the prince just went into the palace."

"Did he say why?"

The maid shook her head and continued, "The prince said that the princess should eat well and take her medicine."

When Su Qingyu heard the instructions, she joked a few times, "I didn't expect that the fearless Princess Chen is afraid of taking medicine." Su Qingyu covered her handkerchief and said with a smile.

"Then you can stay at the palace and have dinner with me tonight."

"Let's do it another day. My mother told me to go back early when I went out today. It's getting late, so I should leave too."

Seeing her say this, Yu Guiwan no longer tried to persuade her to stay, "Okay, I'll let Fuqiu take you out."

After seeing Su Qingyu off, Yu Guiwan was still having fun and started playing pitching pots with Fuqiu and Furong. They played with her for about a quarter of an hour before Furong stepped forward to stop her from continuing.

"Princess, you should rest. Doctor Wei said that although you can get out of bed and move around, you should not overexert yourself."

Yu Guiwan tried to struggle, but looking at the expressions of the two men, he finally compromised and said, "I'm tired too, let's take a break."

Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room.

Xie Xu sat in the main seat, with several important officials and Xie Sui sitting below. The atmosphere was somewhat solemn.

They talked for a long time but couldn't come up with an idea.

"The Liang people are coming at us with such force that we must dispatch our troops. However, what worries me most is the State of Zhao. If Zhao also attacks at the same time, we will be attacked from both sides."

"If both sides send troops, what do you think of this, my dear ministers?"

Marquis Weide immediately stood up and replied, "No, Your Majesty, if we were to send troops to both sides now, it would be very likely... coupled with the lack of food and fodder, it would be even more difficult to support sending troops to both sides."

"Yes, since ancient times, you can't have your cake and eat it too. It's better to negotiate peace with the State of Zhao. It's not too late to deal with the Liang people first."

Several ministers disagreed with sending troops from both sides. After all, they had just fought a war with the Liang people and were now recuperating. There were too few people available in the court, and Yu Yanlin was still recuperating.

Xie Xu suddenly looked at Xie Sui. He had said very little tonight, and Xie Xu wanted to see what he meant. "Shi Yu, what do you think of this incident?"

Xie Sui knew deep down that the safest option for now was to negotiate peace with the State of Zhao. The Princess was watching closely, and might even try to manipulate the border situation with the Liang people.

Xie Sui didn't say anything, but Xie Xu immediately understood. He knew his sister's situation wasn't simple, but he still wanted a solution that would satisfy both sides. It seemed his only option now was to go to Zhao State to negotiate peace.

"Then send envoys to Zhao to negotiate peace."

"As for this time, let you and your son lead the troops." After saying that, Xie Xu looked at Pei Jin and his son.

Pei Jin and his son walked forward and knelt, speaking in unison:

"I will certainly live up to your Majesty's trust."

The few of them talked for a long time before deciding on the envoys to go to Zhao State. When they came out of the imperial study, it was already dark, and Xie Sui returned to Prince Chen's Mansion at about 12:00.

After taking the medicine, Yu Guiwan was in a daze, with her eyelids drooping, but thinking that Xie Sui had not come back yet, she tried hard to open her eyes. When Xie Sui came back, she saw this scene.

He smiled indulgently, "You're so sleepy, but you still want to wait for your husband? Huh?"

Yu Guiwan tried hard to open his eyes, "You haven't eaten yet? I asked the kitchen to keep your food warm." As he said that, Yu Guiwan was about to get up and call Fuqiu and the others to bring the dishes, but was held down by Xie Sui.

"I'll take you to bed and then I'll come over to stay with you after I eat something, okay?"

Xie Sui lowered his head and touched her nose lovingly with his nose.

"I'm a little hungry too, but I'm so sleepy," she murmured, not opening her eyes. Xie Sui wasn't here tonight, and she had lost her appetite. If Fuqiu and Furong hadn't been watching her, insisting she eat something, she would have waited for Xie Sui to come back before dining together.

"Then I have a way to wake you up."

"What..." method?

Yu Guiwan hadn't finished speaking yet, the remaining words being swallowed between her lips and teeth. Xie Sui held the back of her head and deepened the kiss.

It was a while before he let go of Yu Guiwan.

"Are you awake now?"

Xie Sui looked at Yu Guiwan who was looking at him angrily and spoke with a smile.

……

Yu Guiwan also ate a little with Xie Sui, but she couldn't eat any more. She watched Xie Sui eat and asked, "By the way, is there any emergency that brought you to the palace today?"

If it wasn't an urgent matter, His Majesty wouldn't have summoned Xie Sui into the palace without any warning. Something must have happened.

"Awan is so smart." Xie Sui praised.

"The border is being attacked again, and this time they are coming with great force. The most important thing is that the State of Zhao may also attack. Now we are attacked from both sides." When Xie Sui mentioned this, his expression darkened.

"Your Majesty has arranged for Pei Jin and his son to lead the troops. Zhao State is currently seeking peace talks. Now that Xie Rou is eyeing the capital, Zhao State has no choice but to send envoys to negotiate peace."

Yu Guiwan nodded in agreement. The best solution at the moment was to negotiate peace. She then casually asked, "Who did Your Majesty send to the State of Zhao to negotiate peace?"

"After a long discussion, we finally sent Ji Mingchuan to Zhao State."

"understood."

Yu Guiwan didn't show any extra expression, so as to avoid making Xie Sui jealous again.
