Chapter 1031 The eldest daughter is as bright as spring flowers (One hundred and fifty-three)
"Your Majesty, we haven't received any memorials from the Marquis of Annan in the past two days. However, the Marquis of Annan has always been brave and valiant, so it won't be difficult for him to repel the enemy forces in Haicheng. I believe the courier who delivered the military report is galloping to the capital."
The emperor then said, "He is young, and I am afraid he will act on impulse and fall into the trap of those pirates."
Wei Ying has reached adulthood this year. It is not entirely true that he is young. Compared with Guo Xuezhen, he is indeed two years younger.
But from another perspective, Wei Ying won dozens of great victories in the army and recaptured several cities in the north that had been lost for twenty years. These achievements made him a veteran who had fought on the battlefield.
He Shi knew that the emperor's suspicions had returned, and he was worried that Wei Ying would insist on going his own way. He bent down, lowered his head, and whispered soothingly, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. We have the support of County Magistrate Shen and the Marquis of Zhenhai. I'm sure the Marquis of Annan will think twice before acting."
"hope so."
The emperor stopped talking and asked He Shi to wait.
At the same time and space, when Guo Xuezhen killed Ding Yangshu, Wei Ying happened to be standing on the city gate and shot an arrow at Zhou Shangxizi, the prince of Fuchen Kingdom.
Three hundred meters away from the gate of Haicheng County, the eldest prince of Fuchen Kingdom, Zhou Shangxizi, was sitting in a chariot.
As the eldest prince of the Fuchen Kingdom, he is the first in line to the throne. This time he went to the front line to accumulate military merits and increase his prestige.
He was not very strong in combat, but he was arrogant. He was surrounded by many men to protect him, and there were even people blocking his way. He felt very safe, so he laughed at the incompetence of Dazhao's army and the cowardice of Wei Ying. But just as he was laughing at her, death came upon him.
Just as he was laughing wildly, the arrow in his left shoulder pierced his body and made him fall to the side.
The next moment, before he and his men could react, the body exposed on the side received another fatal blow, an arrow shot through the center of the eyebrows!
Under the incredulous and confused eyes of Nozomi Funakami, he lost all consciousness and never woke up again.
When the beauty on his right screamed, the soldiers of Fuchen Kingdom finally understood that their eldest prince, the next emperor, had died at the hands of the enemy!
How could they have shot the eldest prince from such a long distance? How could this have happened? If the eldest prince were dead, how would they explain this to the king?
The Fuchen Kingdom suddenly fell into chaos, and they retreated hastily amid the cheers of the Dazhao soldiers.
"Your Majesty, great news! The eldest prince of Fuchen Kingdom, Zhou Shangxizi, was shot dead by Marquis Annan with a single arrow! Marquis Annan is truly a master at shooting arrows from a hundred paces!"
The emperor heard He Shi's voice and stood up suddenly, "Hurry and submit the military report."
The content of the military report was much more detailed. In addition to summarizing the current battle results, it also wrote about Wei Ying's deployment for the next step of the battle.
After receiving two pieces of good news in one day, the emperor could no longer sit still and quickly invited a group of ministers into the palace to share the victory on the front line.
After seeing off Prime Minister Song, the Minister of War and others, the emperor was still in a good mood, so he went to Concubine Huan's palace.
Concubine Shu sat on the soft couch, admiring the newly cut flowers, and asked, "Did the emperor go to Concubine Huan again?"
The nanny next to her replied, "I heard that the Fifteenth Princess hasn't been feeling well lately, so the Emperor has been visiting her more often."
"Your Majesty is not a royal physician."
Concubine Shu was slightly dissatisfied, but she didn't say anything. The emperor currently favored his younger children. He also took good care of the youngest, the Eighth Prince. Especially after Zhao Lan's defection, it was foreseeable that the next emperor in the imperial city would be her son. So she didn't care that the emperor favored the infant Fifteenth Princess.
Zhao Qing's biological mother, the former Concubine Ye, now Concubine Ye, does not think like Concubine Shu.
After being demoted to a concubine, Concubine Ye's treatment was much worse than before, especially since she was no longer favored and her son was not doing well and was not as successful as Concubine Huan in the palace.
Now even Concubine Huan is superior to her. She feels uncomfortable and hates those who have taken the emperor's favor, especially Concubine Shu and the eighth prince Zhao Yu, as well as Concubine Huan and the fifteenth princess Zhao Jing.
Zhao Yu was protected by Concubine Shu, so it was difficult for her to take action, but as for the other party...
Concubine Ye's tone was filled with worry for the little princess: "The Fifteenth Princess is weak, and Concubine Huan hasn't taken good care of her. Don't let the princess get seriously ill again, don't you think? She needs more care."
