The days passed like this, and the Nanyuan Palace looked at everything as usual, but it didn't seem to be the same anymore.

Lan Jihua was still his idle emperor, and he didn't mention the matter of the future, but he spent more time and times in the study.

He didn't mention it, and Wei Chi Chi didn't mention it, and he was by Lan Jihua's side every day. Eating, chatting, walking, feeding the peacock to make wood carvings, he went to the council hall, she also went with her, and stood at the door with great momentum, if any elder dared to be disrespectful to Lan Jihua, her hand was pressed on the scimitar at her waist, and her eyes stared coldly, as if she could kill it at any time, not to mention, since she escorted her, the elders rarely had disputes with Lan Jihua, and Wei Chi did not easily think that this was all her credit, and he felt a sense of accomplishment. Sometimes Hou thinks that if he really can't marry Lan Jihua, it's actually not bad to follow him like this and be a personal guard.

After a few more days, Wei Chi easily noticed that there were a few more unfamiliar faces in the entourage of the main hall, she felt uneasy, and asked Lan Jihua what was going on?

Lan Jihua's face was light, "It's nothing, it's just a normal manpower deployment, some people are going out when they are old, so they will add new people to come in." ”

Wei Chi sighed, and he didn't go to his heart.

Two days later, Lan Jihua was going to the council hall, and Wei Chi Buyi naturally followed, Lan Jihua hesitated for a moment and said, "Don't go today, stay in the hall and wait for me to come back." ”

It was not easy for Wei to regard himself as Lan Jihua's personal guard, where would he not follow, and looked at him suspiciously, "Your Majesty has something to hide from me?" ”

Lan Jihua didn't answer, her brows furrowed, and she suddenly took her hand, "That's it, you better go together." She didn't worry about him, how could he rest assured of her, or he was most at ease by his side.

This day was no different from usual, all the way through, the sun was shining, the scenery was picturesque, Lan Jihua entered the council hall, the elders bowed, and began to discuss state affairs.

Wei Chi is not easy to stand in the old place, looking at it with sharp eyes, her small body is straight, she is usually a little lazy, she can't sit if she can, she can't lie down, but here, she always plays up her spirit, like a little poplar pestle, which can't be underestimated.

When the elders spoke, Lan Jihua listened quietly, rarely interjected, nodded and said yes to the elders' inquiries, and then stopped expressing his position. But today, waiting for the elders to speak, Lan Jihua slowly spoke, "I have something I want to ask the elders what they mean. ”

The elders exchanged glances with each other, thinking that he was about to mention the matter of the future, and their expressions became alert.

"Your Majesty, please speak."

"I have received a secret report that the army of the Hehezhe tribe is moving in the direction of Kuncheng."

The elders were all taken aback, "What does the Heheizhe tribe want to do?" ”

"What do they mean?"

"Is it a blatant rebellion?"

"Could it be that after Princess Nasha's conspiracy was revealed, the Heheizhe tribe simply broke the jar?"

“……”

The elders were both surprised and angry, and only one elder did not speak, watching coldly.

Lan Jihua looked at him, "Elder Dao, what do you think?" ”

Elder Dao said, "Didn't Your Majesty not ask about the world, where did you get the secret report?" ”

His tone was a little aggressive, and Wei Chi Bu immediately flew the knife over and warned him not to be too rampant.

Lan Jihua glanced at it and couldn't help but want to laugh, but her face was still tense.

Elder Dao turned a blind eye completely, an elder who had been in power for more than ten years, where would he be bluffed by a little girl, but he didn't want to talk to her.

"It was Abu Tou of the Wood tribe who brought me a letter, and he was very worried about it, so he brought me a letter."

Elder Hua asked, "Your Majesty, what do you mean by the Abu Touren?" ”

"The Abu Tou people want to maintain friendly relations between the tribe and the royal family, the wolf ambition of the Hehezhe tribe is also well-known among the tribes, if the Hao Heizhe tribe is allowed to enter the Nanyuan royal family, presumably other tribes will also suffer, Abu Tou people mean to join forces with me to deal with the Heheizhe tribe and return a quiet Nanyuan as soon as possible."

Elder Qing nodded slowly, "The ambition of the Hehezhe tribe can be seen as early as Princess Nasha, if there is really a fight, the first to suffer is the people of Kuncheng, Your Majesty, I agree to join forces with the Abu people to stop the Hehezhe tribe." ”

Nanyuan is sparsely populated, and what he is most afraid of is war, Elder Qing finished his expression, and the other three elders all nodded, only Elder Dao did not speak, and looked at Lan Jihua thoughtfully.

Lan Jihua met his gaze and smiled gently, "Why didn't Elder Dao take a stand?" ”

Elder Dao muttered for a moment, "The minister thinks that just based on Abu Touren's words, he will dispatch the Southern Plains Praetorian Guard, which is a bit of a joke, so let's wait for things to be clarified." ”

Lan Jihua smiled, "When things are clarified, I'm afraid that the Hehezhe tribe has already come to the city, why is Elder Dao so partial to the Heheizhe tribe?" Without waiting for Elder Dao to speak, he sighed, "I forgot, Elder Dao and the Hehezhe tribe are friendly, last time Princess Nasha entered the palace, Elder Dao also went to see the princess in person, I am not wrong, right?" ”

Elder Dao's face was a little unsightly, "What does Your Majesty mean by this, do you suspect that I am colluding with the Hehezhe tribe?" ”

"I don't know if Elder Dao is in collusion with the Hehezhe tribe, but," he hooked the corner of his lips, "it's also a coincidence, two days before the Abu head sent me a secret letter, my guards shot and killed a carrier pigeon on the east side of the palace, and there was a note on the pigeon's leg, on which was written a sentence: Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed." I didn't care about it at the time, but when it came to this point, I couldn't help but think about it, elders, what do you think? ”

Elder Dao was furious and shouted, "Your Majesty, this is slander! ”

Wei Chi Yan took out the scimitar, took two steps inside, and scolded, "You dare to be rude to Your Majesty!" ”

The other four elders looked at Elder Dao silently, the emperor's meaning is self-evident, Elder Dao has a relationship with the Hehezhe tribe, and his mansion is on the east side of the palace, although there is no evidence to prove that the carrier pigeon is Elder Dao's, but there is no evidence to prove that the carrier pigeon is not his, if there is a doubt, it should be verified, after all, rebellion is not a trivial matter.

Elder Dao glanced at the expressions of the four elders and sneered, "Don't be deceived by people with ulterior motives, Your Majesty said that the Hehezhe tribe rebelled, did the Hehezhe tribe rebel?" Who saw it? ”

Lan Jihua said slowly, "By the time someone saw it, the army of the Hehezhe tribe had already entered Kuncheng, and by that time, it would be too late. ”

The public said that the public was reasonable, and the mother-in-law said that the mother-in-law was reasonable, and the four elders had solemn faces and did not speak for a long time.

Lan Jihua was not in a hurry, leaning back in her chair, waiting for their answer.

Elder Yu, who rarely spoke, spoke, "This matter is not trivial, but Elder Dao is right, now that things have not been clarified, it is not appropriate to make a decision lightly." ”

He is an elder who holds the power of the army, and his prestige is extremely high, as soon as he speaks, the other elders echo: "Elder Yu is right, even if the Hehezhe tribe really wants to rebel, there will definitely be news in the past two days, and when the situation is clarified, it will be too late to discuss countermeasures." ”

Lan Jihua nodded, "Since several elders have said so, I have no opinion, but," he glanced at Elder Dao, and then cast his gaze on Elder Jade, "Since it is a very important matter, if there are suspicious people, how does Elder Jade think to deal with them?" ”

Elder Jade pondered slightly: "According to the rules, Elder Dao has to stay in the palace today." ”
