Chapter 297 - The Emperor's Personal Expedition
"Just defend and don't attack. Hold on for half a month, then I will lead the troops to fight in person. I must meet this cousin!" As soon as the words fell, the court was shocked, and all the ministers knelt on the ground and shouted long live the emperor!
After the court was dismissed, all the ministers were discussing the emperor's decision this time. From the perspective of military strength, Chu Nan and Dong Chu were evenly matched, but since Chu Nan and Nan Yue had been fighting for half a year, the soldiers must be exhausted. If the emperor immediately led the army in person, it would be a perfect opportunity, but for some reason it was delayed for half a month.
"Your Majesty, are you doing this for her?"
"Queen, I always thought you were sensible and well-mannered, but just now, you overstepped the line." Chu Yuhuan shouted coldly.
"I know I was wrong, so I will not disturb the emperor from worrying about state affairs. If the emperor is free, please come to my palace and visit. Die'er and Ling'er miss you." After she finished speaking, she turned and left.
Looking at the queen's departing back, Chu Yuhuan felt a sudden sense of regret. This woman had accompanied him through his loneliest years, and since then she had been sitting quietly in that position. She managed the affairs of the harem in an orderly manner and had never distracted him.
And now, she is still obedient and sensible as her queen, why does he suddenly feel dissatisfied?
"Your Majesty, the third elder requests to see you!" a shrill voice came.
Chu Yuhuan rubbed his brows with a headache, cursing in his heart. This old guy is really haunting him. This is the ninth time this month. Why does he have to bring down Zi Yan!
"If you don't see me, just say I'm resting!"
"Your Majesty, the third elder said that he came for the entire East Chu Kingdom. If you don't see him, he will kneel until he dies!" The little eunuch said with trembling shoulders, and then looked up from time to time to observe Chu Yuhuan's expression.
"Then let him kneel until he dies!" He returned to the bedroom angrily after saying this.
After dinner, Chu Yuhuan originally planned to go to Yuhu Palace to see the two little princesses, but he didn't expect to see the third elder kneeling there as soon as he walked out of the door of the bedroom. He couldn't help but sigh again.
"Your Majesty, I have something to advise you on!"
"Third elder, if you are here for the matter of the high priest, please go back." Chu Yuhuan frowned unhappily. He really didn't know what the third elder was thinking. What good would it do to the East Chu Kingdom to severely punish the high priest? And what good would it do to the Mu family? Why did this old man keep digging into this matter?
"Your Majesty, the deadline you set originally was half a year, and now it has been overdue for a month and a half. This is enough to prove that Mu Ziyan has betrayed the Kingdom of Dong Chu. Do you agree or not?" The third elder asked aggressively.
"Maybe she was delayed on the way..."
"Your Majesty, I have received new news recently. Mu Ziyan has changed her name to Song Yunli, and married Nanyue's Ghost King Feng Muyan a month ago. Doesn't this prove that she has committed treason? Your Majesty, please understand!" The third elder pounded the ground and shouted, looking heartbroken.
Chu Yuhuan took a small step back, her body swaying slightly, her head buzzing. Was he hallucinating? She had only been in Nanyue for more than half a year, how could she marry Feng Muyan?
The third elder's mouth curled up into a triumphant smile, and seeing that the heat was not yet right, he continued to cry, "Your Majesty, according to this old minister's investigation, Mu Zhixiao and Qing Mo are also in Nanyue, and they are also very satisfied with their son-in-law Feng Muyan. It can be seen that this family are all traitors!"
"Someone, go to the Mu family and take Mu Chen to the prison! Then send a pigeon to Nanyue to tell Mu Ziyan to hurry back to Dongchu within half a month. Otherwise, Mu Chen will be killed when the half-month deadline is up!"
Chu Yuhuan kicked over the flowerpot beside him, his eyes full of murderous intent, "Mu Ziyan, ah Mu Ziyan, I trusted you so much in vain, and this is how you repay me!"
He was so angry that he didn't notice the evil smile on the third elder's lips!
