Chapter 428

Jiang Mingwei sighed heavily. She wanted to tell herself that everyone had their own way of doing things, that she and Mu Mingtang married different forces, so it was unknown who among them would be at a higher position in the future. But before Jiang Mingwei could finish thinking, there was a commotion outside the hall.


The women were all startled at first, but after a bit, they asked what was wrong. Even the Empress, who presided over the ceremony, sent her palace servants to inquire about the news.


Soon, a wave of panic spread from the palace to the harem. Before the servants sent by the Empress returned, the royal women had already received terrible news.


An urgent military report came 800 miles from the border. The Beirong soldiers had attacked the border last night and Suicheng fell in their hands.


Beirong had blitzed the border on New Year’s Eve of the 4th year of peace. The two countries were very powerful, which was probably why the peace treaty that was signed for only half a year became completely torn up.


When Mu Mingtang heard the news, she also stood up in surprise. She and Xie Xuanchen also talked about this a few days ago. Xie Xuanchen expected that Beirong would start his move at the border, but he initially assumed that it would be after the snow melted during the spring.


Unexpectedly, they stretched out their wolf claws on New Year’s Eve.


Mu Mingtang was shocked as she couldn’t help but show a wry smile. Sure enough, Ye Luyan knew the Ye Dynasty very well. In other words, he knew the Emperor very well.


Sure enough, the imperial court held a big banquet on New Year’s Eve, which meant that even the soldiers at the border could not avoid celebrating with the whole city as they set off firecrackers. With everyone feasting and drinking, the already fragile city defence was practically as weak as paper.


The patrolling of the city wall was undoubtedly slack and the sound of firecrackers covered up any approaching enemies. Beirong took advantage of the New Year’s Eve to sneak attack and succeeded in one fell swoop.


This news was as shocking as a thunderclap striking the ground. The women were so frightened that their faces turned pale and even the Empress left in a hurry with a distinct change in her facial expressions. Seeing the Empress leave the banquet, the rest of the women became even more uproarious. There was only panic in the same hall where they were chatting and feasting just now. Everyone was looking for familiar allies for information and there was even a lady who wanted to leave the palace immediately .


Jiang Mingwei also panicked. She actually knew that there would be a war during the 5th year of peace, or rather, after five years of calm lifestyles, the Ye Dynasty would be caught in the chaos of war for a long time and the situation was precarious. However, she was in another area in her previous life, so she didn’t feel the cruelty of the war. Now that she was experiencing it firsthand, she was starting to panic.


She even questioned her choices in this life for the first time. Was it really right for her to escape from Beirong and return to the Ye Dynasty?


In a panic, Jiang Mingwei saw Mu Mingtang walking out quickly. Suddenly, Jiang Mingwei was so startled that she stopped her, “Mu Mingtang, where are you going?”


At the critical moment, Jiang Mingwei stopped addressing her as ‘Second Sister-in-law’ and directly called Mu Mingtang’s name.
