I rely on gossip to save the country

Chapter 109 Someone on the verge of death

Xie Chuyue threw away the shovel in her hand and said, "You should have told me earlier. I have been digging for so long that I am almost dead tired."

The secret guards lowered their heads and dared not speak, but the system spoke for them, [Host, you didn't ask, don't embarrass them.]

Xie Chuyue put her hands on her waist, panting, looking at the small vegetable garden that had been turned upside down by them, and ordered the secret guards, "You guys level the ground we just dug, and pretend that you have just planted vegetables, and then water the vegetables. We will lure these rats into a trap."

One of the secret guards sent by the Fourth Prince silently replied, "Princess, that's like inviting a rat into a trap. They are not princes, they are rats."

Xie Chuyue turned her head and looked at the secret guard and said, "Okay, okay, not bad, not bad. Which family are you from? This princess will remember you."

The secret guard silently retreated behind his two brothers. He couldn't say which family they were from. He was not stupid. There were so many people standing here. Wouldn't it bring trouble to his master if he told his master?

When the others saw this, they also went to dig the vegetable plot silently, for they were afraid that the next person would ask them who they belonged to.

An hour later, Xie Chuyue was satisfied looking at the vegetable garden that had returned to its original state.

"All of you keep your eyes peeled. When the mouse comes out, you must catch it. Don't let it run away."

"Yes!" The secret guards all answered. They were really miserable in their hearts. If their master knew that they were sent to protect the little princess, but ended up being caught by the little princess's slaves, how heartbreaking it would be.

Sure enough, their hard work did not disappoint them. When the sun was about to set, the mouse did come out of the hole again.

Everyone was in a panic, and the mouse crawled in from another hole.

Twelve secret guards, plus Xie Chuyue and Qingyan Phantom, the fifteen people failed to catch a single mouse, and they were all in a miserable state.

Xie Chuyue was so angry, but she thought that she had just followed the secret guards to catch him, and she couldn't blame them for not catching him, so she calmed down and said, "Don't worry, it will come out again. Let's stay here tonight and make sure to catch him."

Everyone: ………Little princess, we have been watching this piece of land with you for the whole afternoon, and we have to watch it again at night.

What sins had they committed? Were they extremely evil in their previous lives? Otherwise, why were they sent to the princess in this life?

In the dead of night, the secret guards looked at someone who was leaning against their little palace maid, drowsy but forcing his eyes to stay open and stare at the mouse hole. The corners of their mouths twitched. Isn't it just a little dish? Is it really that serious? Is it necessary to make yourself like this?

What dishes do you want to eat? Tell the imperial kitchen, what dishes are in the palace? There is no need to compete with these dishes.

And this mouse is so miserable and pitiful, meeting such a competitive master. The little princess, really, why would she compete with a mouse?

So a group of people watched the mouse all night, and the mouse came out once, but was then let go again.

It was past three quarters past the hour of Yin. Xie Chuyue saw that she was going to be late for court, so she stood up quickly and almost fell down. Fortunately, Huanying Qingyan and the other person supported her in time.

Xie Chuyue rubbed her eyes, and carefully, not wanting to scare the mouse, she lowered her voice and told the secret guards, "Keep guarding, and make sure to catch it. When I come back from court, we'll catch it together again."

"Yes!" The secret guards were all thinking, hurry up and run. They could have caught it, but with you, the rats ran away everywhere, making it impossible for them to catch it.

Xie Chuyue hurried back to the bedroom, changed into court clothes, and went to court.

At the morning court session, all the civil and military officials had already entered the court, and Emperor Mingde also sat on the dragon throne, but Xie Chuyue was still nowhere to be seen. The civil and military officials looked outside from time to time, and just when everyone thought that Xie Chuyue would not come.

The figure appeared at the entrance of the hall. All the civil and military officials, Emperor Mingde and the three princes were frightened by Xie Chuyue, who came late and walked to their seats. She looked listless, half-dead, listless, with unsteady steps, a sallow face and lifeless look.

What happened to their little princess?

Xie Chuyue stood in her position for a long time but saw that no one was moving and they were all staring at her.

Xie Chuyue: [What's going on? Why are they all staring at me? Has the emperor not started court yet? But my father is already sitting there. ]

Xie Yunqing, Xie Yunqi and Xie Yunshen were almost about to run over to surround their sister, but this was the morning court and they didn't dare.

Emperor Mingde was really frightened. He calmed down, swallowed his saliva, and then slowly said, "Yuer, what happened to you? How are you? Are you okay?"

Some of the civil and military officials were worried, some were simply curious, and some were gloating. They were all waiting for Xie Chuyue's answer.

"Your Majesty, I'm fine. I was just delayed by something, so I was late for the court." Xie Chuyue thought that she was late and her father was interrogating her, so she answered politely.

Emperor Mingde: "Yuer, are you really okay?"

"Father, I'm really fine. You should go to court immediately." After Xie Chuyue answered, he yawned quietly.

Everyone had the same thought in their mind: You don’t look like everything is alright. Didn’t the little princess see how she looks today?

Didn’t you see how scared His Majesty the Emperor was?

After hearing Xie Chuyue's answer, Emperor Mingde decisively went to court. After the court, he must go to see his precious daughter first.

After the civil and military officials began to discuss the matter, Xie Chuyue said to the system, "I'm going to take a nap first. I'm so tired. If you call my name, remember to remind me. This damn rat is a big worry in my heart. I have to get rid of it."

Civil and Military Officials: We can all see that you are very tired, but what does this have to do with the dead rat? It is simply incomprehensible!

System: [Host, don't sleep. I have something to tell you.]

Xie Chuyue: [Stop talking, I don’t want to listen. I just want to take a nap.]

The civil and military officials thought Xie Chuyue was complaining about them, and they were speechless. They came to the court, how could they not speak? Just because you don't want to listen doesn't mean that His Majesty the Emperor doesn't want to listen.

You sleep yours and they complain about theirs, there is no conflict between the two, and you sleep with them often, not just this time.

System: [It’s about Beiqi Country. 】

Xie Chuyue woke up instantly, as if Beiqi Country was a switch for her. When Beiqi Country was mentioned, she became extremely energetic. [Tell me, what happened to Beiqi Country? ]

System: [Host, another prince from Beiqi Kingdom has come, and this eighth prince went crazy two days before arriving in the capital.]
