Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty

Wang Gui almost never came to find Cui Yingying so specifically. Therefore, when Cui Yingying suddenly heard Wang Gui's voice in the room, she immediately wondered if there was some news from the northern border, and then hurriedly opened the door and left.

"What's the matter?" Cui Yingying asked, "Is there any news from the prince?"

Wang Gui looked around for a while, and said slowly: "My lord met a horse bandit on the road and got separated from the imperial army. Now his whereabouts are unknown, and his life and death are uncertain."

As if struck by lightning, Cui Yingying subconsciously took half a step back and said, "Don't be joking."

Wang Gui didn't answer. Because there is no need.

Cui Yingying gritted her teeth and asked, "This happened a few days ago?"

"Four days ago." Wang Gui hesitated for a while, and then added, "I heard that the prince may have encountered a sandstorm."

Cui Yingying's face paled a little, and she murmured: "Sister Youlan can't hide such a big matter. You go and invite Daoist Sun to avoid accidents. I'll tell you later."

"No need."

While Cui Yingying was arranging these things, a clear female voice came from outside.

Cui Yingying and Wang Guiqi raised their heads and followed the prestige. Chen Youlan was standing outside the door, her expression as cold as frost.

"Sister Youlan" Cui Yingying's throat moved, but she finally didn't say anything.

Chen Youlan is now nearly three months pregnant, although she has not yet fully conceived, her lower abdomen is already slightly bulging. She walked into the room slowly and said, "Tell me the specifics, I can bear it."

Wang Gui looked at Chen Youlan and then at Cui Yingying, so he could only explain in detail what he had heard from the hidden guard.

After hearing this, Chen Youlan slowly closed her eyes.

Ever since she was pregnant, she was always sleepy, but she couldn't sleep well, so sometimes she would take the initiative to talk to Cui Yingying. Unexpectedly, today happened to come across such news. For a moment she didn't even know how to react.

The mission of the Tang Dynasty was intercepted and killed by horse bandits, and the whereabouts of the principal and deputy envoys were unknown. Such a major event soon shocked the government and the public.

In the morning of the next day, Li Shimin sat silently on the throne, watching the noisy officials below.

Some people said that the Turkic people should be held accountable, that the Turkic people should be responsible for finding out the matter, and give Datang an explanation. Some people also said, what if the Turks were angered and they rebelled again? After all, Li Xin was intercepted and killed by horse bandits, so he may not have any connection with the Turks.

Some people even felt that it was a pity that the King of Chu encountered such a thing, but state affairs cannot be delayed, and a second batch of envoys should be sent immediately to contact the Turkic people.

All kinds of purposes are quietly hidden in the deafening opinions, and the court hall is as lively as a market.

Different from the bustle of the ranks of civil servants, the military generals were all lifeless, standing quietly in the queue, as if what the courtiers were discussing had nothing to do with them. Especially Cheng Yaojin, Li Jing and others, stood motionless, and occasionally looked coldly at the group of civil servants, their contempt was obvious.

After arguing for a while, no one mentioned Li Xin's life and death.

The more Li Shimin listened, the more irritable he became, and he finally said, "Enough."

The voice was not loud, but it was as heavy as a thousand junctures. It pressed down on the hall mercilessly, making everyone quiet as if they were being strangled by the neck.

"General Qin." Li Shimin called by name.

Qin Qiong stepped out, arched his hands together, and said, "The minister is here!"
