She is too embarrassed to see anyone anymore.

It would be fine if others spread the news secretly, but Wen Ning was just praying in her heart that Xiao Yunci himself would not hear about it, otherwise... she didn't know what he would think!

Chapter 71

In the Qinzheng Hall, after Xiao Yunci reported the situation, the emperor held a tea bowl in his hand and looked at him silently with a kind look on his face. He did not respond to the important military affairs of the Ministry of War that Xiao Yunci had spent several days to prepare. Instead, he asked.

"The prince has been sleepless these past few days, how is your health?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I am fine." Xiao Yunci's voice was a little light.

"You have worked hard, but I am afraid that your preparations are a little behind schedule." The emperor sighed slowly, "I heard that the Tatars have gathered their troops and are heading south."

Xiao Yunci's expression slowly changed, with some surprise in it.

This accident was not a pretense, but was 80% real.

He had just received intelligence about this matter this morning. The informant he arranged was already quite close to the center of the Tatar royal family, and the news was the fastest. According to the usual speed, he would have received the news two or three days later, and after making arrangements, his father would have learned about this matter. But now, it was almost at the same time as himself...

There must be something fishy going on.

Xiao Yunci had roughly guessed what was going on, but he pretended to be surprised and asked, "How could this be? Where did Father get this information? Is it reliable?"

"Of course they are reliable." The emperor did not directly answer Xiao Yunci's question, but instead said with a hint of blame, "Why didn't the prince plant some informants in Tatar? For such a big event, he didn't make any preparations in advance."

"It was my son's mistake." Xiao Yunci said immediately, "Now that the war has started again, the informant is in danger and it is difficult to continue. I will continue to think of a solution."

The emperor frowned and nodded slowly, still seeming somewhat dissatisfied. "Alright, please take care of the next thing. I don't have many people I can trust now. My son, you must take on the responsibility well."

"Yes." Xiao Yunci lowered his eyes, his eyes cold.

After leaving the Qinzheng Palace, Xiao Yunci winked at Deng Wu, who immediately went to do it. An hour later, Deng Wu came to a deserted place in the Ministry of War with the news and whispered to Xiao Yunci, "Little Six of the Qinzheng Palace said that it was Eunuch Xu who met the emperor, and there was no one else."

Xiao Yunci's eyes were cold and stern. He took out something wrapped in oil paper from his sleeve and handed it to Deng Wu.

"Let's get started."

Deng Wu understood, took the thing, and replied, "Yes."

He suddenly remembered that he had disturbed the intimacy between His Highness and the Crown Princess a few days ago, which made His Highness unhappy, and immediately added, "I will definitely do it quickly and well."

"..." Xiao Yunci narrowed his eyes and glanced at him. Deng Wu felt a chill on the back of his neck and quickly turned and left.

…

It had been half a month since Xiao Yunci left, and Wen Ning had no idea when he would come back. At first, she would make some mental preparations every night, but later on, Wen Ning almost stopped making any mental preparations.
