The Queen Doesn't Want to Die
Chapter 247. Pei Zhang Xi's
"Today must have been hard for you, right? I'll take you to your room. You've been outside all day. You must take a shower so that your body is fresh in order to rest well. You did your part well. The rest trust me to arrange it." Pei Zhang Xi clasped Lu Jing Yu's hand as he helped his wife stand up. They were currently still in Pei Zhi Hui's room.
"alright. But Your Majesty, please let me know immediately if there's anything."
"Surely."

With all the evidence in his hands, Pei Zhang Xi went to face Emperor Pei An Long in his study room personally. The evidence regarding everyone involved in the plot of the rebellion was revealed in front of Emperor Pei An Long and made the man very angry.
"Today's report from the team tasked with trekking through the dark moon forest, they have found some suspicious tents set in the middle of the forest. By the time they got there, no one was left behind. But many of the equipment left there is a tool to train an army. They must have found out that we were combing the woods and left immediately." Pei Zhang Xi said when he saw Emperor Pei An Long finished looking at all the evidence in front of him.
"Then, are there any clues as to where they moved their headquarters?" Emperor Pei An Long asked as he sneered at his temple.
"No." Pei Zhang Xi shook his head. "But I don't think they're going back into hiding. Moreover, this problem has been hidden long enough and can be estimated if they have finished gathering troops and are ready to launch the action. So I'm sure they won't waste any more time and attack anytime soon." Pei Zhang Xi replied showing some records showing to anyone and when Pei Zhong Min sought help.
"Wait what else? Why is it still not moving to organize an army to strengthen the defense?!" Emperor Pei An Long got angry and kicked down the table. However Pei Zhang Xi could still calm down. Sitting in front of a table is like not being bothered at all.
"Did the emperor's father forget something? I'm only in charge of leading the troops to comb the Dark Moon forest to find out the cause of the disappearance of some citizens. And now I have managed to find the reason that they were kidnapped by the rebel forces to serve as their geratis. Shouldn't my task be done here? As a follow-up action, Father Emperor had to appoint another person who could perform this task. If I suddenly went out and organized an army in the front row, people would think that I was reckless and abused the use of power when I had no right to it." Pei Zhang Xi tapped on the table in front of him with a regular rhythm as he spoke so that it caused a beautiful escort sound effect.
Emperor Pei An Long who was faced with such a fact could not dodge. Moving an army was not as easy as one might imagine.
Every army within the imperial army always had their leader in every group. And not all of these troops were under the leadership of the Palace. Even more of them are under the leadership of the Minister of Defense and also some princes.
The troops were basically divided into five groups under the leadership of different people. Pei Zhang Xi for example had over two thousand five hundred troops under his leadership. Three thousand troops under the leadership of the Defense Minister. King Wei and the other kings each had five hundred troops under their leadership. Except for King Yuan and King Nan. Their forces had both been taken back by Emperor Pei An Long and joined the Palace army led by King Nan, which made him the one who led the most troops of nearly five thousand troops.
The purpose of such a division of power was to divide the forces to minimize the chance of one of them rebelling with their army.
"Huh! Don't you have your own army too? For this problem of rebellion, it is not necessary to use all the troops. You alone have over two thousand troops. Will they lose to the rebels? What is King Rui's ability to lead an army to be so weak lately after he's been busy taking care of his wife and son?" Emperor Pei An Long sneered. Looking at Pei Zhang Xi who seemed to always want to fight him at all times.
"My team certainly has no problem with that. However, the rebellion this time could not be underestimated this time. My beloved second brother has managed to get help from the neighboring empire that has long been an enemy of the Shao Empire. Although my second brother's brain was usually small, with outside help, it was not impossible to be a whip for him to develop."
"Then what do you want?" Emperor Pei An Long pinched his heavy forehead.
"I want to move the imperial army."
"No way! The army is under the leadership of King Nan and will not change. You or anyone else no one should even intend to even think of seizing it!" King Nan was his only brother. They were born from the same womb and have shared affection since they were children. Growing up together since childhood, Emperor Pei An Long knew his younger brother who had absolutely no intention of usurping the throne.
"When am I talking if I'm going to take that army from uncle?" Pei Zhang Xi rolled his eyes. His father will always be emotional when it comes to his Uncle's problems.
"Don't you say if you want to move his army? If you don't become a leader, how can you move that army?" Emperor Pei An Long asked as he furrowed his brows.
"Well indeed. But I didn't say I was the leader either. Nor is it impossible if my uncle and I work together on this. With two money people working together, the situation will be easily resolved."
"alright. If that's the case, I totally agree. Take this letter to her and she will understand what to do.
Pei Zhang Xi did not waste a long time. After obtaining a warrant, he went to see King Nan to discuss the matter with her. Pei Zhang Xi was worried that if he waited for the morning to arrive, Pei Zhong Min's forces had moved all over the place.
But what Pei Zhang Xi feared was also not nonsense. By the time Pei Zhang Xi and King Nan were busy discussing plans and thinking of a solution, the large army led by Pei Zhong Min had started preparing to attack. They had come out of the dark moon forest towards the exit of the palace. They hid in several caves that were on a steep cliff that could not be seen from anywhere. Waiting for the right time to attack.
As a mother, Lu Jing Yu could not let go of her concern for Pei Zhi Hui. Moreover, he learned that the rebels were planning to kidnap Pei Zhi Hui and use it to threaten Pei Zhang Xi because they knew Pei Zhang Xi's strength was the greatest among the other forces.
Right after Pei Zhang Xi came out of the room after seeing Lu Jing Yu sleeping, he woke up on his own and could not sleep after that. His mind was busy on how to save his son because in the novel, Pei Zhi Hui never existed. So Lu Jing Yu had no idea how the kidnappers would work so he could not prepare everything to avoid the abduction. When Pei Zhang Xi returned, the sight of Lu Jing Yu sitting pensively in the room greeted him.
