Chapter 653 The Second Princess Ascends the Throne
In the main courtyard, Ji Yunxie was sitting in the pavilion, with hot tea and pastries on the table beside him.
Liang An put the cloak he took on Ji Yunxie. The snow-white cloak was fluffy, soft and very warm.
"Sir, it's cold, take care of yourself and go back to the house."
Putting on soft clothes, the coolness on Ji Yunxie's body was covered by warmth, and he raised his hand to tighten the collar strap.
Ji Yunxie put down the book in his hand and stared in a daze in one direction, as if he was seeing the person he missed through the distance.
"Liang An, where do you think A Yue is now?"
"I feel a little uneasy when I go to the border, as if something might happen..."
"My Lord, you are just thinking too much. The prince is blessed by heaven, his martial arts are so powerful, and he has so many soldiers around him, so he will be fine."
"You are weak. The doctor in blue said you shouldn't be overworked or worried. You'd better not think too much."
Before the prince left, the young master and the prince stayed together all day long, and the young master's smile could be seen every day.
As soon as the prince left, the young master looked like he had lost his soul and looked much more haggard.
When Liang An thought about the fact that the young master was already in poor health and was now pregnant, he became even more worried.
"If possible, I would like to go to the border with A Yue..."
Ji Yunxie's whispered words startled Liang An, "Sir, how can this be possible? You are pregnant and the border is so far away. What if something happens? Ugh!"
"Look at what I'm saying. Young Master is such a good person. He will definitely live a long and peaceful life!"
"Sir, don't let your imagination run wild. Think about the young master."
Liang An looked at Ji Yunxie pitifully, his heart tense with anxiety, fearing that the young master would secretly pack his bags and run to find the prince when he wasn't paying attention, which would drive him crazy.
Seeing Liang An so nervous, Ji Yunxie found it a little funny.
"Okay, I'm just thinking about it."
"Don't worry, I won't joke about my body." Touching her belly, Ji Yunxie's eyebrows were curved, and the tenderness she exuded made people feel very comfortable.
"Liang An, I want to go to Huguo Temple to pray for A Yue. Please arrange it for me."
"But sir, your body..."
"It's out of the way."
"go quickly."
"it is good."

For several days in a row, the court was in chaos and people were divided.
Faced with the aggressive army of King Qi, the ministers were helpless. Many ministers secretly transferred their property and sent their families away from the capital to seek refuge.
The capital was in a state of panic, undercurrents were surging, and danger was lurking on every side.
In the Beichen Palace, just when Mo Yan and others were considering whether to let the prince go out for some shelter, things took a turn for the better.
It turned out that the Second Princess remained calm in the face of danger, and together with the power of her mother's family and the troops of Western Shu, she put down the rebellion.
Although Western Shu is weak, it still has enough troops and the lobbying of the Second Princess's subordinates.
Once the second princess ascends the throne, with Xiling Yu's status, she will at least be able to obtain the position of a noble monarch. Xishu feels that this is a good deal, so naturally they agree to lend troops.
Although the King of Qi had a large number of troops, they were no match for the Second Princess who had allied with Western Shu early on. In addition, the Second Princess was quite capable, and there was no shortage of capable generals in the court.
Soon, the King of Qi's troops began to collapse, and eventually he was defeated and captured.
Considering that the Prince of Qi was the sister of the late emperor and the heir to Emperor Jingzong's family, the Second Princess could not just execute him. After consulting with court officials and relatives, she finally demoted the Prince of Qi to a commoner and ordered him to guard the imperial tomb for life and not return to the capital without an imperial decree.
The King of Qi was unwilling to give in and wanted to drag the King of Zhan into the water, which frightened the King of Zhan so much that he started to curse the King of Qi for making nonsense claims!
However, the King of Qi produced the letters he had exchanged with the King of Zhan and even called in a witness, who was none other than the King of Zhan’s new favorite, Liu Cejun.
