Chapter 369: Husband and Wife Fight Side by Side

Yan Li didn't care what the three were talking about.

After returning to the Princess's Mansion, she quickly summoned Chen Qingfeng, Qin Shiyuan and Yang Yi and ordered: "I will give you half an hour to pick out 300 people from your Black Phoenix Army."

Qin Shiyuan, Chen Qingfeng and Yang Yi had naturally heard about the big thing that happened in the palace. As soon as Yan Li finished speaking, the three of them said in unison: "I will go with His Highness."

Yan Li raised her hand and pointed at Mu Cang beside her: "He will accompany me, and one more of you three will be enough."

Qin Shiyuan pondered for a moment, turned his head and looked at Yang Yi and Chen Qingfeng: "Let Yang Yi go."

Yang Yi nodded: "No problem."

Chen Qingfeng was originally a soldier of the Jin State. He stayed to guard the Princess's Mansion, which could better prevent the Princess's Mansion from being taken advantage of by others, and it would be easier to deal with problems.

Qin Shiyuan was a Mu countryman, but Mu Cang went to Mu State.

If anything goes wrong, Mu Cang is better at deploying troops than him.

So Yang Yi only needs to stabilize the 300 elite soldiers of the Southern Kingdom. Compared with the combat habits of the Southern Kingdom soldiers, Yang Yi is more familiar with them than the other two.

So the matter was settled.

Yang Yi and the other two went to select the personnel, while Yan Li and Mu Cang returned to the Phoenix Palace to wash and change clothes and take a short rest.

The maid served two cups of tea and then knelt down to leave.

Yan Li sat in front of the window, holding the teacup and thinking: "Mu Cang, do you think the two women are still alive?"

"They should be alive." Mu Cang nodded slowly, "The bandits are too cruel and there are so many of them. They sent so many people with great fanfare. It is impossible that they are just for beauty."

Yan Li did not speak, because even if he said it, it would still be the old saying "heroes think alike".

At this time, the two of them had a tacit understanding and no longer needed this verbal method. Yan Li sat on the couch drinking tea and discussed this matter with Mu Cang for half an hour.

In the evening, Yan Li ordered the maid to prepare dinner.

Chen Qingfeng and the other two gathered the elite men they had selected together, and Yang Yi came to report the details.

Yan Li ordered: "Early tomorrow morning, you will lead this team of people to set off from outside the Princess's Mansion. After leaving the imperial city, the troops will be divided into three groups. You can dress up in Qiaozhuang and split into smaller groups. No matter how you want to go, this palace will not interfere. We will gather in Fenglu in six days."

Six days?

Yang Yi looked at Yan Li in surprise, and then nodded: "Yes."

"Let everyone have a good rest tonight and conserve their energy." Yan Li instructed, "Bring more self-defense hidden weapons, and each person can carry a bow and ten arrows."

"Yes."

"Before setting off tomorrow, you don't have to come and ask me for instructions."

"I understand." Yang Yi understood, "I will take my leave first."

The maids prepared the meals one after another. Yan Li, wearing a loose light blue dress, sat down at the dining table, and Mu Cang sat beside her.

The dinner was very quiet, and neither of them spoke, as if they were tasting delicious food.

They had just finished what they needed to say, and now they were just focusing on eating.

After eating and drinking, Yan Li called someone to come in and clean up the dining table, and ordered: "This palace and the prince consort haven't seen each other for several months. Later, we need some time alone. No one is allowed to come in and disturb us without this palace's order."

Her words were too imaginative.

"Yes." The palace servants blushed and walked out with the bowls, plates, and dishes.

Yan Li turned and walked into the inner room, changed into a pair of long boots, took out a dagger from under the pillow and stuffed it into the boots, then took off her clothes and changed into a black, fitted light robe.

A soft whip was tied around her waist, which could be used as a belt. When it was taken off, it was very lethal, and it would definitely draw blood.

While Yan Li was changing clothes, Mu Cang went to the warm room on his own, and when he came out, he also changed his clothes.

The two looked at each other and smiled again: "A couple fighting side by side."

The darkness gradually fell outside.

When the sky was completely dark and there was no trace of shadow, it was like ink splashing. Mu Cang and Yan Li jumped out of the back window quietly like a movie. They did not go through the front door, but came to the back door quietly after a few quick steps and rushed out from the back door.

Departing early tomorrow morning?

If the plan is exposed to the opponent's sight, how can they win by surprise?

…

At this time, the lights in Fengyi Palace were bright.

Jiang Yi frowned slightly and leaned against the desk. She didn't even have the heart to review the memorials piled on the Feng desk. Her eyebrows were locked with strong sorrow and worry.

"Although Li'er is very powerful and incomparable to ordinary people, as parents, we can't avoid worrying about her trip." Emperor Wen held her in his arms, his voice much gentler, "It's just that we are in the royal family, and we can't be as willful as ordinary parents, and we can't protect her under the iron bucket-like wings. This is our helplessness, and it is also Yan Li's tempering."

Jiang Yi didn't say anything, silently supporting her forehead, not knowing what she was thinking.

Emperor Wen accompanied her quietly.

After an unknown period of time, Jiang Yi spoke calmly, his voice as cold as frost: "No matter how I think about this, I think it's a conspiracy."

It happened that Prince Dugu was in trouble, and it happened that the news came at Yan Li's birthday banquet.

It happened that the two princesses were kidnapped-it was when Yan Li was fighting for the rights of women in Jin.

And it happened that Prince Dugu took the valley that everyone knew was full of dangers on his way back.

If a crown prince of a country insists on going his own way despite knowing the danger, is he really not afraid of death?

"Ayi." Emperor Wen did not comment on her words, but calmly announced a decision, "When Yan Li returns safely, I will issue an edict to make her the crown prince. What do you think?"

Although Yan Li's current status is the regent princess, which is no less than the crown prince, she even has private soldiers, which is more glorious than the prince.

However, no matter how many titles are added, no matter how much power is given to her.

The princess is not the legitimate heir to the throne.

If he and Jiang Yi die one day, only the crown prince can inherit the throne. Otherwise, it is not legitimate, and those people will definitely fight to the death.

Jiang Yi was silent, then turned to look at him: "Is Your Majesty sure?"

"Is there anything else to hesitate about?" Emperor Wen smiled firmly, his eyes full of trust in each other, "Cutting off all their hopes may reduce some turmoil in the court."

If they still cannot be content after being named the crown prince, then he can only disregard the father-son relationship and let them follow the same path as Yan Zheng.

Jiang Yi was silent for a moment: "Yan Li is still young, isn't it too early?"

"Young age is not a problem." Emperor Wen picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. His voice was calm and composed, "Yan Li has shown more skills and courage after coming back than Yan Zheng and the other four combined, but age... Yan Zheng and the others are a hundred years old combined, what's the use?"

Jiang Yi was amused by his words, and finally felt relieved after being full of worries: "Are you praising Yan Li too much?"

"Not at all." Emperor Wen lay down and rested his head on her legs, "I always feel that what Yan Li is showing now is far from her true strength. She should still be hiding her shortcomings."

Hidden?

Jiang Yi was slightly shocked. Is a fifteen-year-old girl really so unfathomable?

Isn't the emperor trying to make her happy?

Emperor Wen closed his eyes: "I have been thinking about the Queen of the Southern Kingdom these days."

"The Queen of the Southern Kingdom?" Jiang Yi had a subtle feeling in his heart, "Why did you suddenly think of that person?"

Emperor Wen closed his eyes and remained silent for a long time before speaking softly: "I don't know, I just suddenly thought of her, thinking of the rumors about her since she was a child, thinking of her decision to recognize Yan Li as a sister, I always feel..."

Always feel what?

Jiang Yi's brows deepened, but he did not ask.

Emperor Wen did not say anything more.

Everything seemed to be unspoken.
