That night, Xie Yunxiao and Prince Hui left Bian Jing and rushed to the military camp.

Xie Yunxiao knew very well that if he asked Prince Hui to keep an eye on the matter, Prince Yu would most likely die. He also didn't want that man to be alive, so it didn't matter if he had to bear all the consequences. He could just go back to Jinling and live a good life.

The temperature dropped suddenly and the weather turned cooler. The thick clothes were taken out and almost everyone in the general's mansion changed into new clothes.

Within two days, a major event occurred in Bianjing City. The entire family of Duke Du was imprisoned, including men, women, young and old, without exception.

Duke Du was a man of great prestige in Bian Jing who was respected by all the officials of the first rank. He was also on good terms with the emperor, and his status was unshakable except for the emperor. How did he suddenly go to jail? There are many different opinions about the inside story.

In addition, the Emperor has not attended court in the past two days. I heard that he is ill, and people are uneasy, wondering if something else big has happened.

It takes time to prepare the military camp. In the military camp thirty miles away, Prince Yu and Du Chengmao persuaded the generals to march into Bianjing on the grounds that Prince Hui was plotting something bad and was working with General Qilin to imprison the emperor.

In addition to the tiger talisman, there is another condition for sending troops, and that is military orders. The commander-in-chief is Duke Du, so it is not easy to act rashly without Duke Du's presence.

Among them, a cautious person went to Bianjing to inquire about the matter. He found out that Duke Du had been imprisoned. The inquirer went back to discuss the matter, and it was most likely true. After the discussion, the entire military camp decided to make Prince Gu the commander and obey his orders.

The review of troops before the war immediately reminded people of the situation before the war.

Xie Yunxiao looked down at the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. It was not convenient to behead them in this situation.

King Hui asked, "How is it?"

Xie Yunxiao shook his head and said, "First, send people to Bianjing, and then bring Duke Du out for negotiations."

Prince Hui pondered. Fighting was not what he wanted, but Prince Yu had to die. After thinking about it, he looked at Xie Yunxiao. He was not cruel enough. He responded first: "Okay."

......

Xie Yunxiao hasn't returned home for two days. Feng Zhuohua can't do anything to help except worrying about him. His son is not around either, and he has left him with Hu Cong. He must have a reason for doing this. It's not worth mentioning, and she knows it's dangerous.

Everyone in the mansion was busy as the day for the chrysanthemum viewing banquet had arrived.

Shuangxi was supposed to be busy early in the morning, but Lao Zhou suddenly felt like taking her pulse and found out that she was pregnant. When the news reached Feng Zhuohua, she told Shuangxi to start taking care of the baby and she didn't need to do any other work.

Shuangxi had never been pregnant before, so she agreed and thought it was always right to listen to the lady.

When Chao Yi was away, almost all of the Third Master's men went out, leaving only a few old soldiers, but they were enough to protect the mansion.

As soon as the morning hour passed, guests began to enter the general's residence one after another. A servant led them to the garden first. Feng Zhuohua asked Jixiang to keep an eye on them and also sent Xiangyu and others out. They were all capable people, so nothing would go wrong.

When guests came, she did not go out to greet them, firstly because she did not intend to participate, and secondly because she did not like it. So she just read books leisurely in her yard, accompanied by Ruyi.

There were more and more guests, all of them were female relatives. Feng Zhuohua didn't know how many people Baili had invited.

Not long after the silence, Madam Xu and Xu Xinru arrived. Feng Zhuohua smiled and went forward to greet them. He bowed to Madam Xu first, and then said to Xu Xinru, "Is your foot injury healed?"

Xu Xinru nodded and said, "It's almost time to rest for three days. There happened to be a banquet today, so I came here."

Feng Zhuohua and his people sat down, and Ruyi went to pour tea.

Madam Xu asked, "Why are you in your own courtyard and not with them?"

Feng Zhuohua said in a light and tactful tone: "It's a banquet hosted by those two families. It would be better if I don't go."

Some people like you more the more you get to know them. The woman in front of her is well-educated, well-mannered, and well-versed in the ways of the world. Mrs. Xu couldn't help but say, "No wonder Concubine De is the matchmaker. Whoever marries you will be blessed."

Feng Zhuohua said: "Madam, you are too kind. Your daughter is not bad. To be liked by the Empress Defei, she must have something extraordinary."

Madam Xu said, "As for her, I don't know what Concubine De likes about her. At the banquet that day, everyone else was reciting poems, painting, and dancing, but she was the only one who didn't like to stand out. Even so, she was still liked by the royal family. It must be the merits of the Xu family's ancestors."

Feng Zhuohua said: "I think what Concubine De likes is this non-competitiveness."

Madam Xu was stunned. She was so insightful. Indeed, only by not fighting can the family be harmonious. No wonder Concubine De chose Ruer. She said, "Madam De is very good at judging people. In the next two months, I have to ask Xinru to come to your place more often."

Feng Zhuohua said: "My wife has also seen this. She just reads books in her spare time. She has nothing to teach Miss Xu. At most, she can talk about some principles and insights."

"That's enough. As long as she knows a little more about the ways of the world, it will be worth it."

"Mrs. Xu really thinks highly of me."

"General's wife, there is no need to be modest."

Ruyi poured tea, and someone came to the main courtyard gate.

This time it was Gu Pingting.

She swaggered around the main courtyard, and those who didn't know would think the host had returned. Feng Zhuohua had no choice but to step forward and salute, "Greetings to the Sixth Princess."

Gu Pingting asked, "Is this your yard or his yard?"

Feng Zhuohua said: "Husband and wife are one."

Gu Pingting snorted coldly. She knew best what her brother was doing. Soon, very soon, she would destroy everything.

Madam Xu looked down upon her arrogant look, but she still stepped forward and bowed with Xu Xinru, saying, "Greetings to the Sixth Princess."

Gu Pingting asked: "Why are you here?"

Mrs. Xu said, "Just chatting."

"Are you familiar?"

"I'm slowly getting familiar with it."

"What's so good about being familiar with her? She's just an outsider. Madam Xu really thinks highly of her."

This was very embarrassing, and Madam Xu said to Feng Zhuohua: "I will go and see today's chrysanthemums first."

Feng Zhuohua nodded.

Mrs. Xu took Xu Xinru away first.

Gu Pingting didn't take it seriously and walked straight towards Feng Zhuohua's bedroom. She was really not shy or polite, and she had no manners or upbringing at all. Feng Zhuohua couldn't help but say, "Whatever the Sixth Princess wants to see, I can introduce it to you one by one. If you want to know more, I can also tell you how he lives with me..." She was not like this usually, but she didn't want to keep such an annoying person around.

Gu Pingting suddenly turned around and was about to hit someone. Feng Zhuohua dodged and stepped back, saying, "The Sixth Princess is really uneducated. No wonder he likes a foreign girl and despises a princess."

"You!" Gu Pingting was almost mad with anger, and she said to Feng Zhuohua, wishing she could tear her mouth to pieces, "What do you know? Where were you when he was coaxing me? Don't worry, when brother takes that position, he will be mine. Brother never breaks his promise to me. By then, you will be a divorced wife, and I will not let you have an easy life."

Last time he said she was a substitute, this time he said he coaxed her. If he said a few more words, Feng Zhuohua would believe it.

Feng Zhuohua curved her lips and said calmly, "You may have been deceiving yourself without knowing it. With his personality, he will marry anyone he likes, no matter who she is, and he will do everything he can to marry her. For someone he doesn't like, he won't even bother to look at her, let alone pursue her. It just so happens that I am the former and you are the latter, so you are jealous, jealous to the point of going crazy, wondering why he doesn't like you, but likes someone like me who has no power or influence.

Sixth Princess, don't you feel very pitiful? You are obviously a high and mighty person, but he doesn't even look down on you even if you are as low as dust in front of him. Oh, this is the first time I have seen such a pitiful person. Princess, you'd better leave the general's mansion as soon as possible. I'm afraid I can't help but look at you with eyes that sympathize with a beggar. "

She rarely speaks harshly, but when she does, it can be deadly. It's all because of this person's disgusting nature. And for the slap she received last time, she must return it double.

Gu Pingting was going crazy and was about to pounce on Feng Zhuohua. Feng Zhuohua turned and ran, shouting to Ruyi: "Ruyi, go call for help, the princess has suddenly gone crazy."

"I am going to kill you!"

"Stop her today!"

A maid tried to stop Feng Zhuohua, but seeing the situation, she shouted, "Someone come, the princess is crazy!" and dragged the maid away while shouting.

The scene was in chaos for a moment.
