The general's wife knows medicine

Chapter 192 Discuss Countermeasures

He was wearing a gorgeous suit as black as ink, with fluttering sleeves, shining like the brightest star in the night sky.

His long black hair was tied up high with an exquisite jade crown, making him look energetic and heroic. At this moment, the warm sunshine just happened to fall on him, adding a touch of otherworldly temperament to him.

Tang Peipei's beautiful eyes seemed to be filled with countless heart-shaped bubbles at this moment. Being looked at by her such a passionate gaze, Mu Jintang smiled back.

Tang Peipei could feel the sound of her heart beating faster, thump thump~~

How can her husband be so handsome!!! I really want to hide him and not let anyone see him. I want to enjoy such a handsome face only for myself.

Suddenly, a clear cough was heard from the side.

Tang Peipei was very unhappy that someone had disturbed her from appreciating the beauty, and looked towards the source of the sound.

When she saw Ye Yunshu and the Fifth Prince staring at her with a half-smile, she couldn't help but feel embarrassed. She realized that she was staring at her husband! Tang Peipei showed a trace of embarrassment on her face.

Mu Jintang was actually very happy about Tang Peipei's behavior. However, he also noticed her shyness from her rapidly reddening cheeks. So, he stretched out his hand without hesitation and pulled Tang Peipei into his arms, showing his obvious protective intention. At the same time, he lowered his voice so that only Tang Peipei could hear, and whispered, "Don't worry, I will let you see enough when we get home later."

Hearing this, Tang Peipei's already slightly red face became even brighter. She glared at Mu Jintang a little embarrassedly. Although there was no killing power in her eyes, it was full of coquettishness and shyness. The atmosphere at this moment seemed particularly ambiguous, and there seemed to be a sweet atmosphere around.

The fifth prince spoke at an inopportune moment: "Okay, the two of you should stop hanging around in my house. Let's talk business first."

Really, he hasn't even had a good time with his wife since he came back, but he's forced to watch someone else's love drama, which makes him miss his own wife even more.

He turned to look at his wife standing next to him and saw that she was also looking at him.

He smiled at his wife, and his wife smiled back at him.

Okay, I'm barely satisfied.

Ye Yunshu felt a little helpless. Her husband was nonchalant in front of outsiders, but seemed extremely smart and capable in front of his subordinates. However, he acted a little childish in front of her. Sometimes it really made her speechless, but she was still willing to cooperate with him.

The four of them went to the Fifth Prince's study together. There were guards standing guard outside the door and secret guards on the roof, so there was no need to worry about outsiders eavesdropping.

Mu Jintang was the first to speak: "Have you treated the emperor? How is the situation?"

Tang Peipei said, "The emperor has indeed been poisoned." Then he told everyone everything he knew.

"Now, my father has handed over the task of investigating the poisoner to me, but he asked me to keep a low profile." said the fifth prince.

"How long can the emperor's body last?" Mu Jintang asked again.

"The poison in the emperor's body has already invaded his entire lungs. With the help of my medicine and bloodletting, he should be able to hold on for three months at most. However, I have not told the emperor this." Tang Peipei said.

"Then we don't have much time left." Ye Yunshu said.

The fifth prince nodded, "So, we have to speed up our actions now and find evidence of the third brother's rebellion as soon as possible and submit it to the emperor. Otherwise, if the emperor gets angry, the third brother will definitely take action immediately." After that, he asked Mu Jintang, "How many people from the Mu family army are left in the capital now?"

Mu Jintang replied: "Less than ten thousand."

There are a total of 200,000 troops on the border, 100,000 of which belong to the Mu family.

However, the emperor was suspicious and, on the grounds that there was no war on the border, he only allowed him to return to Beijing to reunite with his mother with six or seven thousand men to protect him.

It was said that the emperor was very kind, seeing that they had been separated for many years and his mother was alone in the capital with no one to take care of her, so he allowed him to come back and be with him. However, he knew that the emperor was suspicious of him.

He brought back six or seven thousand people, and there were two thousand guards in the mansion. His father had specially left a thousand soldiers to protect his mother's safety.

Now all these people are in his hands.

"Less than ten thousand? In that case, our manpower is a bit too few." The fifth prince fell into deep thought.

"Your Highness, my father has some friendship with the garrison commander of Kuncheng. I can forge a letter from my father and ask my brother to go to Kuncheng." Ye Yunshu said.

"Really?" The fifth prince was a little surprised. You know, Kuncheng has at least 80,000 soldiers.

Kuncheng has more minerals, so the court has reserved more soldiers for Kuncheng than other places. If General Gong, the defender of Kuncheng, can be used by them, even if General Gong only gives half of his troops, plus the Mu family army and his guards.

The Beijing City Defense Department is also his people, so they can be counted as a number of people.

All together, there should be about 60,000 to 70,000 people.

Although there is a shortage of 30,000 troops compared to the 100,000 troops of the Third Prince, the Mu family army can fight ten to one, so they can still give it a try.

Of course, these are just precautions and may not be necessary.

"Okay, Yunshu, you write the letter now and I'll have someone deliver it to Jingheng, asking him to set off for Kuncheng immediately." said the fifth prince.

Ye Yunshu nodded and went to write the letter.

"I wonder if there is any news about the secret building that Jintang mentioned before?" The Fifth Prince looked at Mu Jintang and asked.

Tang Peipei was actually a little curious. Ju Xinyu said that the secret building contained evidence of all the crimes committed by the Third Prince, including evidence of treason.

However, she only knew that there was such a place, but she didn't know where it was.

However, Mu Jintang sent people to investigate after learning the news, but until now there has been no clues.

Mu Jintang shook his head. He also felt a little frustrated about this matter.

"Are you sure there is such a place? Could it be that Third Brother spread false information just to draw our attention here?" The Fifth Prince's suspicion was not unreasonable.

But, "I believe there must be such a place, and I believe in Xinyu," Tang Peipei said firmly.

Although she had doubts before, she believed Xinyu. Since Xinyu said there was such a place, it must exist.

Seeing Tang Peipei's certainty, the Fifth Prince said no more and said, "Now, we can only act separately. Jintang, you must find this place as soon as possible and get the evidence. I will also try to find evidence of Third Brother's poisoning as soon as possible."

Mu Jintang nodded and pulled Tang Peipei away from the Fifth Prince's Mansion.
