Wang Yuerong's palms were covered in cold sweat, and she was nervous, frightened and reluctant. Only at this moment did she realize that once she stepped out of this door, she would be heading towards a completely new life on the other side.
She felt up and down for a while, as if she was walking on clouds, until her palm was held by a dry but warm big hand, and the gloomy fear in her heart was finally swept away, and her heart finally fell back into her stomach. Yes, what was she afraid of
The person in front of her, the person holding her hand, is her sweetheart.
He respected her, loved her, and was always very patient with her. They were different from ordinary people.
She plucked up the courage to hold Su Rong's hand tightly, and he gently and firmly helped her into the sedan chair. She finally breathed a sigh of relief under the veil.
Today's wedding is still talked about many years later.
But when people mention this marriage, it is often not because of how grand and glorious it was, or because of the groom's bizarre previous experience, or how well-matched the two families were.
"It's really strange." At this time in Fenyang Palace, Princess Fenyang also tutted with a bit of sarcasm, and raised her eyebrows with a bit of gloating: "The groom hasn't even entered the bridal chamber yet, and he has to rush to the front line. Tell me, is this bride miserable?"
No one expected that the current chieftain in Yunnan would turn his guns around, raise the banner of rebellion before the imperial court turned against him, collude with local rebels, and turn his guns around to kill the imperial court by surprise.
When the news reached the capital, the whole court was in an uproar.
The cabinet went to the palace to discuss the matter overnight, but they couldn't figure out how the news that Miss Mu San and Mu Qinglu had received the court's favor and were about to return to Yunnan had leaked out.
But no matter how it was leaked, it is a fact that the current chieftain Mu Tong has rebelled.
Yang Canzhi, who had just joined the cabinet, hadn't said anything yet, Gao Ping spoke first: "Although Mu Tong was cunning and didn't cooperate well with the court in the past, he still had to keep a fig leaf, so he is so outrageous now. He has gone completely crazy, first he killed Fang Hong, the eunuch guarding Yunnan, then he made an appointment with Li Shoude, the imperial censor of Dali, in the name of suppressing bandits, and then beheaded him, and then he even killed the prefect and other officials in the city, it's simply outrageous!"
During the time of our great ancestor, there was also a similar incident in Yunnan, but it was quickly suppressed.
Later, because the deposed emperor was incompetent, the various tribes in Yunnan, which had never surrendered sincerely, had their own thoughts, but they could barely maintain superficial harmony. Now, even when the two countries were at war, they did not kill envoys, but Mu Tong directly killed the officials of the court.
If the rebellion is not suppressed quickly, the prestige of the imperial court will be destroyed!
After Gao Ping finished speaking, Yang Bo, who usually kept silent, also agreed with him: "We must immediately send generals to Yunnan to suppress Mu Tong at all costs, otherwise the tribes that we had conquered with great difficulty will be in trouble again. Once they fall apart again, it will be very difficult to conquer them all again."
Emperor Yuanfeng looked at Yang Canzhi, raised his eyebrows and asked him: "Why don't you speak?"
Everyone looked at Yang Canzhi. This was the most important thing since he entered the cabinet, and it was a good opportunity to see his attitude.
Yang Canzhi frowned and pondered for a moment, then suddenly stood up and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, please send the Crown Prince to lead the army to Yunnan immediately to suppress the rebellion and enhance our country's prestige!"
Xiao Heng's trip to Yunnan was decided before the New Year, but it was delayed for various reasons. Now it is already June. More than half a year has passed. It would have been better if nothing had happened in Yunnan. But now that something has happened, Xiao Heng has an even greater responsibility and must go.
This is also an opportunity for Xiao Heng.
Opportunities always coexist with dangers. Yang Canzhi raised his voice and said firmly: "Since Your Highness is the crown prince of a country, you should naturally take responsibility for the stability of our dynasty. Please let the crown prince rush to the front as soon as possible!"
Yang Bo looked at Yang Canzhi deeply.
The situation in Yunnan is now more tense than before. It is no exaggeration to say that it is a matter of life and death. Xiao Heng's previous visit could be considered a chance to gain experience, but going there now would be a risk. He might even lose his life. After all, there is no mercy on the battlefield.
Yang Canzhi is now repeatedly lobbying Emperor Yuanfeng to let Xiao Heng go to Yunnan. Does he really think that the Crown Prince is capable enough, or does he have other intentions
Gao Ping and other people were also thinking about it.
In the silence, Emperor Yuanfeng suddenly raised his voice: "Come here! The grandson of Emperor Xuan, the Earl of Yongding, and the consort of Princess Yongning!"
The Su family's joy had not yet faded. The eleventh princess finally waited for Su Yao to come back. When she saw her, she raised her eyebrows and asked her, "Do you know about Tian Xun's situation?"
Su Yao was very busy. After returning from the He family, she should go to the bridal chamber with He Xianyi to accompany the bride. However, since the Eleventh Princess was here, she naturally could not pretend not to know. She politely bowed, thought for a moment and asked the Eleventh Princess: "Your Highness, did you come out of the palace to the Su family just to ask me this question?"
Princess Eleven nodded: "I want to know if Tian Xun really died of illness."
In fact, Su Yao had long wanted to find an opportunity to have a frank talk with the Eleventh Princess about these things, but the Eleventh Princess had always been very resistant and irritable. When a person is in a bad mood, she will not listen to anything you say, so there has never been a chance to talk.
Since it was the Eleventh Princess who took the initiative to ask this time, Su Yao did not hesitate or evade the question. He simply shook his head and said, "No, she was sentenced to death."
Although she already had some guesses in her mind, Princess Eleven was still subconsciously stunned when Su Yao pointed it out directly.
After calming down for a while, Princess Eleven asked, "Why is that?"
She didn't know that even if Tian Xun was a scheming person as he had told his mother, and deliberately instigated her to quarrel with Su Yao, these were just trivial matters. Why did Tian Xun deserve the death penalty
"Don't worry, Your Highness. This matter has nothing to do with Your Highness." Seeing what the Eleventh Princess was thinking, Su Yao told her about Tian Xun's deception of Empress Dowager Tian, and then said, "In fact, even if she deceived the Empress Dowager, it would not be a capital crime. But her mistake was that she was too thoughtful and bold. In order to frame me, she did not hesitate to burn down the Cining Palace. Your Highness should understand that a large amount of wood is used in the buildings in the palace. Once a fire breaks out, it will not only affect the Cining Palace. She naturally does not want to burn the Empress Dowager, but water and fire are merciless. Once a fire starts, how can she control it? At that time, let alone the safety of the Empress Dowager, how many palaces in the palace may be implicated?"
