Chapter 223 Letter from the Frontier

"Yes, my mother has always been filial. If she had received the news, she would have ridden her horse day and night to rush back. She would have lost half her life by the time she reached the capital."

Hearing his grandson say this, Grandfather Xia fell silent. He wanted the mother and daughter to return to Beijing as soon as possible to find out more about the matter, and he didn't want to trouble them.

"Then what do you think we should do? We can't just go in and out of the borderland casually, otherwise I'll go there myself."

Everyone also understood the urgency of the matter, and they all lowered their heads, trying to think of a reason to allow the person to come back without using the old man's name.

After reading the letter, the Left Prime Minister wrote back, saying, "Think about it carefully in the next two days, and wait for me to see what is going on in the court before you speak."

In the capital, people are panicked.

Many people who came out to inquire about the news returned empty-handed in the end. Many people were destined to have a restless sleep that night, including the crown prince and other princes who stayed up all night long.

“Your Highness, I have not been able to find out any news. I only know that the Prime Minister’s wife, the Princess Protector of the Nation, and several masters of the Xia family set out directly from Xiaotian Village to the border.

“As for what happened, it is unknown.”

The atmosphere in the room suddenly changed. The prince looked unhappy. He believed that with his talents, it was a foregone conclusion that he would ascend to the throne.

He doesn't allow anyone or anything to be out of his control, and this feeling makes him uncomfortable.

"Come here, set off for the border immediately. I want to see who this Tenth Miss Xia is and how she can be a princess of a different family."

It was no wonder that he thought too much about this matter. Throughout all dynasties, no one from a different family had ever been granted the title of Princess of the Nation. This was the highest rank and even the crown prince had to bow to her when seeing her.

The gates of the capital city could block ordinary people but not them. One after another, many men in black flew from various cities to the border under the cover of night.

The next day, the Left Prime Minister went to court as usual. Everyone looked at his carriage as it drove towards them, with unpredictable expressions in their eyes. No matter whether the relationship was good or bad, they still had to put on a show.

"Congratulations, Mr. Left Prime Minister. Your children are very promising. It's really enviable."

"Congratulations, Lord Left Prime Minister. You are indeed a favorite of the Emperor. Miss Xia Ten has quietly become the Protector of the Nation Princess. Did something happen in Oda Village?"

"Congratulations, Left Prime Minister. I didn't expect that you, who have always been upright, are so thoughtful. What did you do to allow your daughter to become a princess?" The Right Prime Minister looked at him with sarcasm and looked down on him from the bottom of his heart.

The two of them stood on the left and right in the court, with the word "left" in front, which shows that the emperor loved the left prime minister more.

For many years, the Right Prime Minister was unwilling to accept this and would always have a quarrel with him whenever they met.

This time was different. Since returning to Beijing, the Left Prime Minister ordered people to investigate the reasons why the little girl was abducted. It just so happened that some of the information was related to the little daughter of the Right Prime Minister.

At this moment, he looked at the right prime minister with murderous eyes, making everyone feel that his head would fall off in the next second.

"Hmph~~~ If the Right Prime Minister has time to think about me, why not go home and see what your child has done? Be careful that he might die someday. Don't blame me for being ruthless and merciless then."

In fact, apart from some disputes over court affairs, the two prime ministers did not have any major hatred, and they could even say a few words to each other occasionally.

The two of them were also very clear that it was a matter between adults and did not stop their children from socializing, so both sides had some face left.

Unlike the Left Prime Minister, the Right Prime Minister's backyard is extremely lively, with more than a dozen people including the mistress and concubines, not to mention illegitimate sons and daughters. When there are too many people, there will be restless people. The scraps of news he received this time were related to these two people.

The Right Prime Minister was shocked. He had never seen the Left Prime Minister with such an expression in all his years of working together. Something must have happened that he didn't know about.

The left prime minister, who had been observing his expression, saw that he had no idea that his murderous intent was weakened a little.

Then he said directly to you: "You and I have been in the court for many years, and we know that this Prime Minister will not take revenge on personal grudges. But there is one difference, that is, my Xia family holds the little girl at the top of their hearts. This is the Achilles' heel of the entire Xia family."

I glanced at him and let the old man figure out the rest. If he is smart, he will check it out. If he is not smart...

Just wait to collect the bodies of the two as soon as possible. It’s better to kill the wrong person than to let him go.

All the civil and military officials were listening attentively, but they were confused and didn't understand what the Left Prime Minister wanted to express. However, there were some smart people, so someone whispered, "Maybe it has something to do with the disappearance of Miss Xia Shi."

Hearing the people taking a deep breath, he could imagine how furious the Left Prime Minister's family would be. It was said that it took a hundred years to have a daughter.

It's time to go to court. The left and right prime ministers stand on each side, mostly with their own forces standing behind them. All the civil and military officials today also want to see how the emperor will react.

They all stood straight and bowed and knelt down.

How could the emperor not know what the officials were thinking? He just didn't let them know, just as usual.

"If there is something to report, then report it. If there is nothing to report, then leave the court."

Everyone looked at each other, feeling that everything had changed today, both different and the same as usual.

The prince glanced at the left prime minister obscurely, and someone immediately stood up.

"I have something to report. The daughter of the Left Prime Minister is only three and a half years old. How could she be named the Protector of the Nation Princess? I hope Your Majesty will understand."

"I second the proposal."

"I second the proposal."

"I second the proposal."

Left Prime Minister: “!!”

He was happy this time because the things everyone asked about were what the entire Xia family was curious about, and they really couldn't figure out what the emperor was thinking.

The emperor, sitting on a high throne, took in everyone's expressions. He lingered on the left prime minister for a little longer, revealing his thirst for knowledge.

"Report~~~"

"800-mile rush to the border"

The reports were transmitted to the morning court at the fastest speed. Everyone was startled and afraid when they thought about the lack of food and clothing in the border areas.

The eunuch hurriedly presented the letters. The first letter was written by the little girl herself. The handwriting was crooked and looked childish and cute. The emperor couldn't help laughing.

"Your Majesty, are you feeling well? Are you happy all day? Ning'er got a lot of food at the border, so we can have enough food for now, but we don't have any money!!"

"Ning'er knows that the emperor works hard all day, so the treasury must not be well-off. It's okay. You can dismiss a few officials you don't like, dig in the garden pond, and look for the secret room in the study."

"There are even more perverted ones who may be hiding in the ancestral hall, or there may be a secret room in the rockery. Don't miss the walls, and look carefully in the flower beds..."

Ninety percent of the entire letter was about how to search for corrupt officials, and the rest was instructions to grow crops well, as the lives of frontier soldiers were really hard.

The emperor was very curious, wondering how a little girl could know so much.

Xia Yining would definitely say that she has read a lot of novels, so it’s no big deal.
