Chapter 440 My beloved, I miss you too!
In the Yangxin Palace, Ye Chen stood with his hands behind his back, tightly holding the letter that revealed the unusual movements of the Jingzhou army.
He narrowed his eyes, lost in thought.
He knew very well that the unusual movements of the Jingzhou army were no accident and that Yang Dechang must be behind it.
Hulao Pass was controlled by the Yanzhou army. He thought that the provincial governors would take their own interests into consideration and would not easily allow the troops of other states to pass through.
However, the current situation forces him to re-examine his judgment.
"Yang Dechang, what trump card do you have that can truly make the two governors of these states obey your orders?"
"If the Jingzhou army can really use Hulao Pass to enter the capital area, then we will have no choice but to use force to drive them out."
Ye Chen rubbed his temples and let out a sigh.
Then he turned around abruptly, his face solemn.
"Accept my grace, and pass on my oral instructions. Order Di Gui to send out scouts to closely monitor the areas surrounding Hulao Pass and Wuguan Pass. Ensure that the defenses are well prepared and there must be no slackness!"
Cheng'en quickly bowed his head and replied, "This old servant will obey your order."
Ye Chen then sat down in front of the dragon table again, picked up the pen, and quickly wrote a letter.
"Cheng'en, send this letter out of the palace and give it to Murong Yan. Instruct her to organize the intelligence and keep a close eye on the Jingzhou army for me."
Hearing this, Cheng'en took the letter with both hands and quickly retreated.
Ye Chen looked at Cheng'en's departing back, but the uneasiness in his heart did not diminish.
He knew very well that the situation was dangerous and that if he was not careful, the country might be overthrown.
At this time, he temporarily let Murong Yan take charge of the civilian intelligence organization because Yun Fuyao was ill.
"I still have too few talented people. Han Cheng is a good talent. Perhaps I can promote him and let him be responsible for the typesetting of the newspaper. If there are truly talented and knowledgeable children from poor families, I should use them as soon as possible."
"We must quickly dilute Yang Dechang's disciples and former officials."
"For the sake of Dayu's country and people, I must completely eradicate this old man and his forces as soon as possible!"
Ye Chen was thinking when he heard the sound of light footsteps.
He turned his head and saw Hua Rui slowly walking into the Yangxin Palace.
At this moment, Huarui is wearing a pink palace dress, and her figure is graceful, like a blooming peach blossom.
Her skin is as white as snow and as delicate as a baby's. Her big eyes are bright and lively, as if they contain endless tenderness.
Her long hair cascaded down her shoulders, swaying gently with her steps.
As soon as she saw Ye Chen, her eyes suddenly lit up and she hurried forward and bowed.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to Your Majesty!"
Hearing this, Ye Chen raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a gentle smile.
"My beloved concubine is exempt from the gift."
Hearing this, Hua Rui stood up, her eyes full of enthusiasm.
"Your Majesty, I have missed you for many days, and today I finally see you."
Ye Chen walked forward, hugged Hua Rui, and said domineeringly: "My beloved, I miss you too."
Hua Rui's face flushed red because of Ye Chen's sudden action. She leaned gently in Ye Chen's arms, feeling his warmth, and was docile without any resistance.
Ye Chen picked up Hua Rui and walked towards the dragon bed.
Silent all night.
The next day, the bell rang loudly.
Ye Chen woke up, but felt the softness of the delicate body under him, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.
He looked down and found that Hua Rui had already been looking at him with wide eyes.
At this moment, Hua Rui's face was flushed, there was a hint of shyness in her eyes, and her voice was soft.
"Your Majesty, I was afraid of disturbing your rest, so I didn't dare to get up."
Ye Chen felt warm in his heart, and he gently stroked Hua Rui's face with a gentle voice.
"My dear, you are so considerate."
Afterwards, Ye Chen sat up, and Hua Rui also quickly stood up and put on the dragon robe and the emperor's crown for Ye Chen.
After everything is in order.
Cheng En stepped forward and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, news has come from Kunning Palace that the selection exam for the Northwest Commander will begin today."
Hearing this, Ye Chen narrowed his eyes and pondered for a moment.
"Cheng'en, go and pass on the order. Have the people from the Supervisory Department closely monitor the progress of the selection exam. If there are any abnormalities, report them immediately."
After all, those Northwestern generals had seen Ye Chen's true face. If he appeared directly in the examination room, it would be difficult for these people to perform normally in the examination room.
"According to the order."
"Your Majesty, Guard Shen is here."
Cheng'en returned soon after conveying the imperial edict.
And said to Ye Chen.
Hearing this, Ye Chen nodded.
"Let Qiu'er come in."
"Hua Rui, I have some important business to attend to. Please go down first."
"promise."
Huarui looked at Ye Chen with lustful eyes and then retreated.
"Your Majesty, I have found the Black Pill."
A cool and pleasant voice came into the Yangxin Palace.
Ye Chen looked up and saw Shen Qiu wearing a white brocade dress. She looked like a snow lotus blooming in the snow, cool and detached, with extraordinary elegance.
She has a graceful figure, light steps, and a delicate face. Her long black hair falls on her shoulders like a waterfall, fluttering gently with her movements.
Shen Qiu bowed slightly and clasped his fists towards Ye Chen.
"Your Majesty, I have fulfilled my mission and found the Black Pill."
Hearing this, Ye Chen showed a relieved smile on his face.
"Qiu'er, well done."
Ye Chen's voice was steady and full of imperial majesty.
"Immediately notify the Dayuan envoy and have him enter the palace after the morning court session."
"The minister obeys the order."
Shen Qiu saluted again, then turned and left.
Ye Chen gave Cheng En another order: "Cheng En, go and prepare the emperor's ceremonial guards. After the morning court session, I will go to the Taiqian Palace."
"Old slave obeys the order."
