Saiya’s face turned pale in fear. How could Empress kill her eldest brother?

Before his father fell ill, he had said that he would make his eldest brother the crown prince and that he would be the ruler of a country in the future. If Mother killed him, his father would be furious.

The Empress’s anger had not subsided, and her charming phoenix eyes flashed with a murderous aura that made people tremble. She was completely different from her previous n.o.ble and gentle image, and her entire person had become fierce.

Saiya was so frightened by Mother that she took a step back. Mother like this was so unfamiliar and scary!

The Empress saw her daughter’s frightened eyes and put away her hostility. She comforted her daughter perfunctorily, “No worries.”

She was still able to restrain her hostility toward her daughter. Her stern phoenix eyes swept across the First Prince’s soldiers, revealing an unconcealable killing intent. Those soldiers who had been through many battles trembled in fear.

The Empress suppressed the killing intent in her heart and threw off the cloak blown to her arm by the wind. She regained her motherly dignity and slightly raised her chin to order,

“Find all the famous doctors in Tacheng and save the Second Prince.”

The moment the Empress shifted her gaze, the soldiers under the First Prince heaved a sigh of relief. They had temporarily saved their heads, but they immediately heard an order that made them despair.

“If you can’t save the Second Prince, you’ll all be buried with him.”

The First Prince’s soldiers were all tied up and kneeling outside the Second Prince’s yurt. The cold wind was blowing, and everyone’s hearts were hard. They all prayed that the Second Prince would not die.

When the princes fought for power, the soldiers were unlucky.

While the Empress sent someone to find a famous doctor to treat the Second Prince, Yeluchun sent Su Qing to the border and cupped his hands at her.

“I’ll be waiting for Miss Su here in five days.”

“Alright.”

Su Qing nodded. She had already changed out of her military uniform and put on her clothes. The wind blew her hair, and her eyes were as cold as ever.

Yeluchun looked at Su Qing with sincere admiration. There shouldn’t be anything in this world that she was afraid of, right?

When Su Qing returned to Mo City, she did not use the main entrance. Instead, she went back through the battlement she came out from. She still had something important to tell Ji Shuisheng, or else she would not have been in a hurry to return.

When she returned to the yamen, she saw a group of commoners from Mo City surrounding the yamen. Among them was the shopkeeper of the grain store.

“Overseer Cheng, let us out!”

“I beg Overseer Cheng to send us on our way.”

After experiencing a few consecutive attacks by the Tartan army, the commoners were scared out of their wits and wanted to run south. The south was far away from the border and was safe. The ruler of Mo City had already given up on this border. The soldiers guarding the city were getting fewer and fewer, and the higher-ups did not send more troops to strengthen the defense.

However, they did not dare to leave, afraid that the Tartan soldiers would kill them on the way, so they wanted Cheng Yu to send troops to escort them.

“Calm down; you have to believe that we can protect everyone. The days of escaping are not so easy.”

Cheng Yu tried his best to persuade the people. This was a critical stage of the city’s defense, so he could not send troops to escort them. However, without soldiers accompanying these people, they would be meat on the tip of the Tartan soldiers’ knives, waiting to be slaughtered.

Therefore, he hoped the commoners could stay behind where they could protect them.

“No, the Tartans eat human flesh and drink human blood.”

The ordinary people were trembling. The days of fear and worry had scared away everyone’s courage.

“Tartan is in chaos and can’t even take care of itself. It won’t attack the city again. Go back and live your life!”

Su Qing walked up the steps and announced to the people below.

Cheng Yu was slightly stunned when he heard Su Qing’s words. How did Miss Su know that Tartan was in chaos?

The commoners below did not believe Su Qing’s words at all. What did a young lady know? Did she not know how powerful the Tartan soldiers were? They were still begging Cheng Yu to send troops to escort them to escape.

Cheng Yu was also annoyed by everyone, so he no longer tried to persuade them patiently and said sternly,

“If you want to leave, go ahead. But once you leave this city gate, you will no longer be a citizen of Mo City. No one will care about your life or death.”

When the commoners below saw Cheng Yu’s anger, they did not dare to bug him anymore, but they did not want to leave either.

Su Qing saw that Cheng Yu had already subdued the commoners and did not want to meddle in other people’s business, so she strode into the yamen to look for Ji Shuisheng.

Cheng Yu followed her into the yamen and called out to her,

“Miss Su, how did you know Tartan was in chaos?”

“Because I was the one who instigated the internal conflict between the First Prince and the Second Prince of Tartan.”

Su Qing stopped in her tracks and looked at Cheng Yu calmly. Her light tone made it seem as if this was a small matter not worth mentioning.

Cheng Yu looked at Su Qing in shock. What did she say? She incited an internal conflict between the First Prince and the Second Prince.

How did you choose it?

Why couldn’t he believe it?

Su Qing didn’t bother explaining to him, so she turned around and walked into the inner hall. She stopped after taking two steps and turned around to ask Cheng Yu, who still had a look of disbelief on his face,

“Where is Ji Shuisheng?”

“He went out to look for you.”

Hearing Su Qing ask about Ji Shuisheng, Cheng Yu returned to his senses and quickly told Su Qing that Ji Shuisheng had gone to Tartan to look for her.

“Looking for me?”

Su Qing frowned.

“Where is he going to find me?”

“I don’t know. He only said that he was going to look for you.”

Cheng Yu shook his head. When Young Master left, he didn’t mention where he was going. Looking at Miss Su’s expression, it seemed she didn’t meet Young Master. He began to worry if the young master would be in danger.

H H

Su Qing frowned. Would Shuisheng go to Tartan to find her?

“Big sister.”

Ji Xiaoying came back from outside and called out to Su Qing happily.

Su Qing saw that Ji Xiaoying’s eyes had warmed up a lot, but because she was thinking about Ji Shuisheng, she asked casually,

“Where did you go?”

“I went to cook for Yang Zhi and the others from Zhenyuan Bodyguard Agency. They asked when he would be back. Sister, have you seen my big brother? He went to look for you.”

“Yang Zhi is here?”

Su Qing was slightly stunned when she heard Yang Zhi. He arrived two days earlier than she had expected. So fast?

Ji Xiaoying nodded and said with a smile,

“Yes, they sent the cotton clothes over. They’re waiting for big brother to return to settle the payment!”

“Okay, I’ll go and take a look.”

Su Qing thought of her letter to her parents and went to see Yang Zhi first.

Ji Xiaoying agreed and did not follow. She wanted to cook for her G.o.dmother and sister.

When Su Qing walked out, she saw Cheng Yu still standing there. She stopped and said to him,

“There’s someone called Liu Hong. Send someone to keep an eye on him.”

Ji Shuisheng was not around, so Su Qing told Cheng Yu about seeing Liu Hong last night. The danger of spies was great; one day late in discovering them meant one more risk.

“What? It’s him?”

Cheng Yu didn’t expect it to be him. This Liu Hong had once blocked an arrow for him. He was honest and obedient, and Cheng Yu trusted him very much when he promoted him to a trusted soldier.

Su Qing couldn’t be bothered by the Mo City guards. If Cheng Yu couldn’t even manage his soldiers, how could he a.s.sist Shuisheng in reviving the Xiao Family Army?

Su Qing came to the house where he had stayed and saw six carriages parked there. The yellow flag of the Zhenyuan Bodyguard Agency was waving in the wind, and it was very eye-catching. Yang Zhi and the bodyguards were eating in the house.

Li Shuang’er had made dinner for them, and Qiu Yongkang had specially ordered them to steam some dry rations and send them safely from afar. They could not be treated slowly.

Su Qing had another matter to discuss with Yang Zhi.

Yang Zhi was eating when he saw Su Qing. He put down the bowl of porridge in his hand and stood up to greet Su Qing warmly,

“Miss Su, you came at the right time. I have a letter for you..”
