Demoted from wife to concubine? Reborn, the mistress of a noble family plots another high-status mar

Chapter 729

"Qizhou City has fallen; another city has been lost today."

"Your Majesty, the enemy seems very strong. We can no longer sit idly by and wait to die."

In the imperial study, civil and military officials each held their own version of events.

"I believe that the troops stationed at the border should be mobilized immediately to suppress these rebels."

"I believe that the son of the Prince of Han should be killed."

Wan Peng immediately objected, "What? The son of the Cold King? That's my son! You can't touch a single hair on my son's head!"

"Hmph, better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free."

“Your Wan family doesn’t need another illegitimate child. His birth mother is Liang, so he is very likely the son of the Prince of Han.”

"Lord Wan, you might be a victim of a terrible injustice, and the Liang family might be deliberately trying to get you to take over their mess!"

Wan Peng's face turned green with anger, and he immediately attacked the sharp-tongued adult.

"presumptuous!"

Murong Yu suddenly raised his hand and slammed it on the armrest, shouting loudly.

Only then did the fighting stop.

The crowd fell silent, too afraid to even breathe.

General Xiao cupped his hands and said, “Your Majesty, I believe that we should not mobilize the troops on the border. Now that there is an internal uprising in our country, other countries already know about it. If they take this opportunity to launch an attack on us, it will be truly dangerous if there is no one on the border.”

"This old minister is willing to fight and go to kill the rebels."

Pei Xiang said, "No, General Xiao may be vigorous in his old age, but he is still getting on in years. Now that your eldest grandson has led troops to Pizhou, it would be inappropriate for you to go there as well."

"Until we reach a dead end, you are still the trump card of Great Xia! Do not act rashly."

General Xiao glared at him, "Prime Minister, you flatter me! I am just an old man, not the trump card of Great Xia. With the Emperor here, Great Xia will not fall."

"I believe we can send Prince Liang to lead troops to suppress the rebels. Prince Liang is brave and skilled in battle, and as a prince, he can represent His Majesty," someone suggested at this moment.

Many people think this is a good idea.

"Let me consider it."

What? Do we even need to consider this?

Everyone was confused.

"emperor......"

Murong Yu stood up, no longer wanting to discuss the matter, and directly announced the adjournment of the court.

I breathed a sigh of relief when I got back to Zichen Palace.

"Your Majesty." Yun Xiyue was about to get up when he quickly came over to support her. "No need to get up. I told you to eat first. Haven't you eaten?"

Yun Xiyue smiled and said, "I just ate a bowl of bird's nest soup, so I'm not very hungry yet."

"I was just thinking of waiting for you to come back so we could eat together."

A smile appeared on Murong Yu's serious face. "Yes, I'll accompany you."

After breakfast, a group of ministers rushed to the Imperial Garden to invite him to the study.

"Your Majesty and Your Majesty the Empress, we pay our respects."

"It's not that I want to clean up after Your Majesty while you go for a run with the Empress, but the military situation is urgent. News has come from the border that the rebels have captured another city."

Prime Minister Pei stepped forward and bowed.

Murong Yu's face had turned extremely gloomy.

It was as if he would be dragged away and beaten to death at any moment.

Yun Xiyue's brow twitched, and she grabbed his hand. "Your Majesty, you go ahead with your work! I'm fine, and the baby is doing well too. Don't worry about us."
