After the divorce, the princess was forced to raise a sickly villain

Concubine Duan and her group of ministers wanted Ling Ancheng to counter the rebellion because the Ling family had military power and military merits so they could stand on their own feet. Soldiers who had been on the battlefield had a clear understanding of the general's abilities, which could better ensure their loyalty. .

And Feng Xiang's party proposed to let the eldest princess go, so they naturally had their own plans.

Although the eldest princess is the daughter of Concubine Duan, whether the military merit is in the hands of Ling Ancheng or Chu Qinghuang, it will not be of any benefit to the third prince's faction, but this proposal can invisibly drive a wedge between the Ling family and the eldest princess. relationship.

Chu Qinghuang's temper was obvious to all the ministers in the palace. If she wanted military glory, then whoever blocked her way would be her enemy, even if that person was her uncle.

In addition, Feng Xiang has other plans.

With Chu Qinghuang leading the troops outside, he would have a better chance to send people to assassinate him. With Chu Qinghuang by his side, he felt like there was a thorn in his heart all the time. Holding back would only make him hurt. He thought about it day and night. Let's get rid of this thorn.

Unless Chu Qinghuang dies, the Feng family and the third prince will never have a chance to make a comeback.

"Ling Ancheng." His Majesty the Emperor finally spoke, his voice deep and full of imperial majesty, "Are you willing to go to the northwest to quell the rebellion?"

Ling Ancheng knelt down and said, "Go back to the emperor, I am willing!"

"In this case, you will assemble your army early tomorrow morning and head to Jinghu Mountain in the northwest. I will give you three months to kill all the rebels!"

"I obey the decree!"

"Retreat." The emperor stood up and left.

The civil and military officials from all over the court respectfully said: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Ling An was relieved. It seemed that the emperor had no suspicion about the Ling family. The emperor already knew about the previous conflict between the Ling family and the eldest princess, but he had not expressed his stance yet...

"Brother." Ling Anjie, who was the Minister of Civil Affairs at the time, came over and spoke in a low voice, "Do you think the Emperor is dissatisfied with the Ling family?"

"The emperor's heart is unpredictable." Ling Ancheng spoke calmly and also lowered his voice, "But regardless of whether he is dissatisfied or not, the emperor cannot touch the Ling family for the time being. When I come back from suppressing the rebellion, the emperor will take advantage of the opportunity of meritorious service to ask for Ling Jing back. The emperor should not refuse."

Ling Anjie frowned: "That's all we can do for the time being. Let's let Ling Jing suffer for a while. He is still injured. Even if the eldest princess wants to do something, she should wait until he recovers from his injuries."

The two of them walked out of the palace while talking, feeling dissatisfied with Chu Qinghuang to the extreme - this princess was clearly the daughter of Concubine Duan, but she did not stand by her mother and concubine. Instead, she seemed to have a grudge against them. Same.

It's just so infuriating.

The two went to court, Ling Anjie went to work in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and Ling Ancheng left the palace directly and went back to prepare for war.

The fifth prince, Chu Tianzheng, was stopped by the imperial guard on his way to Ganquan Palace: "The emperor has decreed that the prince is not allowed to enter the harem."

Chu Tianzheng's expression changed: "How dare you stop me from going to see my mother-in-law?"

"Please forgive me, Your Highness." The guard on duty bowed to apologize, but his attitude was still tough, "The Emperor's will cannot be violated, and even in a humble position, one must act according to the order. It's not that the Fifth Highness cannot see his mother and concubine, even the Second Highness can't. Can’t see the Queen.”

Chu Tianzheng felt uneasy: "Why?"

"I don't know the humble position."

Chu Tianzheng said: "My uncle is about to lead the troops into battle, and I have come here to inform my mother and concubine——"

"Your Highness, please forgive me." The guard still refused to give in. "I dare not disobey the Emperor's will because I am humble and humble. Please forgive me, Your Highness."

Chu Tianzheng looked at him coldly for a long time, saw that he was unmoved, and left angrily.

When his uncle comes back from the rebellion and has accumulated military merits, the Ling family will become famous, and his mother-in-law will be even more favored in the harem. His fifth highness will be a big step closer to the position of heirloom. Let's see how he cleans up these things. !

The news that Ling Ancheng was ordered to quell the rebellion quickly spread to the eldest princess's palace. Chu Qinghuang had no reaction after hearing this. After Fucang lost miserably again, he frowned and said, "Are you Kuchiki?"

Fucang looked at the white stones on the chessboard, and the few black stones surrounded by solitary. It was obvious that the whole army had been annihilated. He was silent for a long time, stood up and knelt down, and raised his hands proactively: "This subordinate is stupid, please punish me, master."

The two slender white hands, both on the backs and palms, were covered with bruises from being beaten with canes, and they looked really pitiful.

Chu Qinghuang stared at his hand expressionlessly for a while: "Forget it, let's take a rest today and continue tomorrow."

After saying that, she got up and walked out: "I'm going to the west courtyard to see Ling Jing. You can go too."

"yes."
