Chapter 172 The imperial edict arrives
When the letter reached the imperial city, Ye Xingche and the ministers were in court.
"Urgent report from the front!"
A guard came in holding an urgent document and interrupted the ministers who were expressing their opinions. "Your Majesty, there is urgent news from the front line."
"An urgent matter from the front?"
"Could it be that Yunhe City has been lost?"
"Impossible! Not to mention the wise and brave King Wei, even General Li, who has experienced hundreds of battles, cannot lose the battle!"
"Don't be so arbitrary, sir. Anything is possible."
"Humph! I see you're hoping for a defeat at the front. Why? Are you a member of Ye Zhao's gang?"
"Don't talk nonsense!"
The ministers were arguing with each other.
"Present it." Ye Xingche glanced at the court officials below and let them argue.
Eunuch De went downstairs and immediately presented the letter to Ye Xingche, "Your Majesty, please take a look."
Ye Xingche opened the letter, and after reading only two lines, he suddenly stood up.
Ye Beiting was injured!
And he was poisoned!
Seven miles!
The court officials who heard the noise fell silent instantly. As soon as they saw Ye Xingche's expression, they knew that something was wrong, and they all remained as quiet as chickens.
Finally, it was Marquis Fu Ting who stood up and said, "Your Majesty, may I ask what happened on the front line?"
"Yunhe City has not been lost, but King Wei was seriously injured and is on his way back. Is there anyone going to pick him up?"
"This..." The ministers looked at each other, and it was obvious that no one wanted to go.
It would be good if the seriously injured King Wei could arrive at the imperial city safely. But if something happens on the way, they would not have enough heads to carry him away!
Finally, it was Fu Ting who stood up again, "Your Majesty, my son Fu Qianrui has been practicing martial arts since he was young and is proficient in it. I am willing to take this task on his behalf."
"Fu Qianrui?"
"Exactly."
It may be that Fu Qianrun’s previous brilliance was too great, causing everyone else to ignore the low-key Fu Qianrui, including Ye Xingche.
Fu Qianrun's reputation is well-known, but Fu Qianrui is unknown.
Ye Xingche thought for a moment, and seeing that no one else spoke, he agreed, "Okay, then send Fu Qianrui to pick up King Wei. If the mission is completed, there will be a reward."
"I thank Your Majesty on behalf of my son!"
"Well, also, draft an edict to order Prince Yan to go to Yunhe City to support General Li." Ye Xingche didn't want to face these ministers who seemed to be dumb when something happened, so he gave the order directly.
"King Yan?"
"this."
"Your Majesty, would you like to reconsider this?"
The ministers advised Ye Xingche.
The mission to assist King Wei is not easy to accept, but they can accept the mission of going to war and making meritorious contributions!
But Ye Xingche did not give them a chance. Now he only trusts Ye Yanxing and hopes that Ye Yanxing can go and end the war as soon as possible.
"That's it, withdraw from court!"
"Farewell to Your Majesty."
The ministers had no choice but to shut up, and after Ye Xingche left, everyone began to disperse.
Ye Xingche, who usually went to the Qianqing Palace after court, changed direction today and went straight back to the bedroom.
This had never happened before. Eunuch De, who was following behind, was a little confused and asked, "Your Majesty, aren't you going to review memorials today?"
"You guard the door. No one is allowed to come in without my order." Ye Xingche ordered Eunuch De.
Eunuch De had just stepped in with one foot, but was forced to take it back after hearing what was said, "Yes."
He closed the door of his bedroom and stared at the door in a daze. Ye Xingche rarely did things around him.
In the bedroom, Ye Xingche took out a small package from a hidden mechanism.
He gently brushed the wrinkles on the package. This was the package that Ye Yanxing had someone send to him when he left the imperial city for the first time.
He also left a message, asking people to take out the package to protect themselves if they sensed danger, and not to touch it if there was no danger.
Ye Xingche put the package away immediately after receiving it, without even examining it carefully.
Now he was going to open the package.
For some reason, his intuition told him that danger was approaching, although the palace was as solid as an iron barrel and outsiders could not enter easily.
But Ye Xingche always believed in his intuition, so he remembered the package given by Ye Yanxing.
He gently opened the package and found a box inside.
Ye Xingche was puzzled. What on earth could this thing be that required so much packaging?
With a click, the box opened and the contents appeared before our eyes.
It was an object Ye Xingche had never seen before, and he guessed it was a weapon.
Ye Xingche picked it up and shook it in his hand. It was not heavy and fit perfectly in his hand.
There was a piece of paper under the box, which Ye Xingche burned after reading it.
He put the things in his arms, put the box back where it was, and walked out.
"Your Majesty, are we going to the Palace of Heavenly Purity?"
"Ah."
A few days later, the imperial edict reached Prince Yan's Mansion in Fufeng City, Yizhou.
"The imperial edict has arrived!"
Seeing that Ye Xingche did not even kneel, Ye Yanxing realized that it was even more impossible for him to kneel when only a guard came to deliver the imperial edict. He did not even bend over.
The guard waited for a long time with the imperial edict in his hand. Seeing that Ye Yanxing showed no sign of kneeling down to receive the edict, he opened the edict and began to read it.
After the imperial edict was announced, Ye Yanxing even had a thought that it had come as expected.
Let Yang Bo take the guards who announced the imperial edict to rest, and Ye Yanxing returned to the backyard with the imperial edict.
"Father!" Xiaopang was playing with Dawang in the garden. When he saw Ye Yanxing coming in, he ran over and asked, "What is this?"
"Nothing." Ye Yanxing did not let Xiaopang play with the imperial edict, but directly put it into the space.
"Gone!" When Xiaopang saw the imperial edict disappear in Ye Yanxing's hand, he was curious and excited and kept clapping his hands.
"Awoo~" The king ran over and rubbed Ye Yanxing's hand.
"Chirp." Xiao Hei has been out for a while. No one knows where he went, but he just came back today.
He came back all dirty and just washed himself now.
Ye Yanxing took out crystal cores from his left and right hands at the same time and gave them to Da Wang and Xiao Hei to eat.
"Ouch!"
"Chirp!"
The tiger and the bird were eating happily.
"Father, I want it too!" The crystal core was also attractive to Xiaopang, but Ye Yanxing had never let Xiaopang use it except for the first time he gave it to him to experiment with supernatural powers.
"Which one do you want?" Ye Yanxing handed various colored crystal cores to Xiaopang for him to choose from. "You can only take one."
"I want this!" Without a doubt, Xiaopang took the green crystal core.
"Okay, do you remember how to absorb it?"
"Hmm!" As soon as the crystal core entered Xiaopang's hand, it immediately turned into powder.
He doesn't know how to cultivate supernatural powers yet. The energy flowing in his body now is formed by his body automatically absorbing the energy of plants and trees from the outside world according to his own situation.
"Father!" Xiaopang spread out his palms, and a gust of wind blew, and the powder was blown away instantly.
"Well, that's all. Just follow your daddy and practice obediently." Ye Yanxing pinched his chubby little face. The smooth skin made him unable to help but rub it several times, making the little fat man's face red.
"Dad, it hurts." Xiaopang accepted Ye Yanxing's abuse with a bitter face.
"Oh." Ye Yanxing let go of his hand.
Xiaopang's wood-based ability also has a repairing effect, and the redness on his face was healed in a short while.
"Dad, it doesn't hurt anymore!" The pain on Xiaopang's face disappeared, and he immediately reported to Ye Yanxing.
"Hehe." Ye Yanxing was touched by his cuteness and wanted to ravage his little face, but finally held back.
