After being a widow for half my life, I found out that my husband was not dead.

Liu Yunxiang frowned. Yan Mu said this, which meant that the emperor was indeed angry and forced him to marry Changning.

She had thought about this. The candidates for marriage include the fourth prince or other young masters from aristocratic families, and it does not necessarily have to be Yan Mu. But the emperor forced them. First, he was worried about leaving her with Yan Mu, and wanted to use Chang Ning to separate the couple. Secondly, through this matter, he wanted Yan Mu to have an attitude and absolutely obey him. Thirdly, the fourth prince could not hold up the wall, so he had to consider making Yan Mu the crown prince, so he needed to win over the Northern Jin Dynasty to form a solid alliance to resist the invasion of the Southern Jin Dynasty.

"Please tell Mr. Xue, please tell him that I have my own sense of discretion, so that he doesn't have to worry about me and the children." Liu Yunxiang said.

Xue Changfeng sighed, "He actually said that you will not be obedient."

Liu Yunxiang was speechless, "Then what does he mean?"

"He asked me to take you away by force if necessary."

Liu Yunxiang frowned. From this, it seemed that the emperor's attitude was very firm, and Yan Mu had already prepared for the worst.

"I'd better go back home and see how he's injured first."

"He is fine, but there is a circle of people from the camp on the outskirts of the capital surrounding your palace. If you go back, you may not be able to get out. Then the palace will issue an order. Whether you accept it or not, the order will be conveyed."

Liu Yunxiang stopped. Xue Changfeng was right. She wanted the emperor to see her attitude and not dare to issue this imperial edict casually. And as soon as she returns to the palace, the emperor will definitely think that she has given in, and will immediately issue an order. If she doesn't comply then, it will really be a rebellion.

The consequences of resisting the decree are death or rebellion, both of which are too costly.

"It's only thirty pieces. If Lao Qi can bear it, I'll go back home by myself." Xue Changfeng reassured.

Although Liu Yunxiang was worried, he calmed down and suppressed his worries and sat back down again.

The two of them are on the same front, and no one can panic or be timid.

"The emperor has not issued this decree for a long time because he is worried about your attitude, so he has to grit his teeth."

Liu Yunxiang had calmed down a lot. She sighed and looked at Xue Chengfeng, "Mr. Xue, thank you for worrying about the two of us."

Xue Changfeng chuckled: "Lao Qi and I are friends, as we should be. But since he has prepared for the worst, the princess must also prepare for the worst. If the situation goes bad, I will take you out of the city to Zhenbei immediately."

Not wanting Yan Mu to worry, Liu Yunxiang nodded, "Okay, I'll listen to him."

Xue Changfeng was about to leave, but Liu Yunxiang thought of something and stopped him.

"Mr. Xue..." Liu Yunxiang paused, feeling embarrassed to ask some questions, "Before..."

Xue Changfeng was amused, "The princess is always straightforward, why are you so hesitant in speaking today?"

Liu Yunxiang took a deep breath, "Before, when you were drunk, you said...that Murong Lingyi and Lu Changan were having an affair..."

Speaking of this, Xue Changfeng's face turned green as expected.

Murong Lingyi could not love him or despise him, but he could never get over the fact that he was cuckolded.

"Really?" Liu Yunxiang asked.

Xue Changfeng was silent for a moment, "You also said that I was drunk."

"But what drunk people say is not necessarily nonsense. There are also people who tell the truth when they are drunk."

Xue Changfeng frowned, "Why does the princess ask this?"

"If Mr. Xue trusts me, can I not ask why?"

Xue Changfeng took a deep breath, picked up the teacup next to him, and took a deep sip of tea, "Yes, I do have this suspicion. That night, although I was drunk, I clearly saw the two of them entering the house together. I didn't realize it at the time What, I woke up later, and when I thought about it carefully, I realized something was wrong. I also asked Murong Lingyi, but she didn’t know whether she was guilty or angry, so she had a big fight with me. I also thought about asking Lu Changan, but she is such a gentle gentleman. , self-denial and return to courtesy, I felt that I must have thought too much and thought dirty. Until Lu Changan left, I didn't ask, but since then Murong Lingyi has not allowed me to touch her. Not only this, she changed She was also very big. She even started making female celebrities, purses, and clothes. They were all for men, but they were not for me. I was sure that she must have someone else, and gradually I withdrew my thoughts about her. , and after taking Mrs. Zhou as my concubine, we really only have the name of husband and wife."

When Xue Changfeng heard about this marriage, he really didn't know whether to cry or laugh. He cried because he was too stupid and laughed because he was too ridiculous.

He had given sincerely, but it was just that he didn't get Murong Lingyi's sincerity, and he even wore a cuckold.

"Ahem, I only told you and Yan Mu, mainly because... it's too embarrassing." Xue Changfeng said and took another sip of tea.

Liu Yunxiang lowered her eyes. When she heard Xue Changfeng say that Murong Lingyi and Lu Changan were having an affair, she didn't believe it at all. She really felt that Xue Changfeng was drunk and talking nonsense.

But now...

"What was Lu Changan doing in Weizhou then?"

"Discuss with me about food and salary, but the imperial court requires us from Weizhou to provide food and salary for the northwest army. There is a fixed amount of shi, and he wants to ask for more. Although I am the chief envoy, I really can't make the decision. They don't have enough food and salary in the northwest. It is indeed a fact. According to the situation, he also said that he wanted to let the soldiers clear up wasteland and cultivate the land in the mountainous area to the west of Weizhou, and there would be some harvest. The mountainous area is indeed barren, because the land is uneven and barren, so it is not suitable for farming, but if he wants it, I I have to report it to the court. Maybe he saw my difficulty, so he didn't mention it again, and said goodbye within a few days." Xue Changfeng said.

Liu Yunxiang fell into deep thought after hearing this. Lu Changan went to ask for food and land, but Xue Changfeng didn't give it to him. On the surface, it seemed like this, but on a deeper level, Lu Changan's move was actually to win over Xue Changfeng. It's just that Xue Changfeng was stubborn and didn't notice Lu Changan's thoughts at all, and Lu Changan didn't know it either. He felt that Xue Changfeng was too straightforward and couldn't be won over.

Weizhou is too important in the northwest. Since we can't win over this chief envoy, then...

Then let him leave Weizhou and replace him with someone he can win over as the chief envoy. So Xue Changfeng's mother was poisoned and Xue Changfeng died for three years, and the chief envoy of Weizhou was replaced by Yang He.

This Yang He, I am afraid that Lu Changan had already won over to his camp when he was in Weizhou.

"Now, after Yang He took office, will the mountainous land be used for farming by Lu Changan?" Liu Yunxiang asked in shock.

Xue Changfeng shook his head, "I'm not sure about that."

"Mr. Xue, can you ask me through my connections?"

Xue Changfeng looked at Liu Yunxiang in confusion, "Why are you curious about this?"

Liu Yunxiangmo, now that her brother is serving as a military governor in Weizhou and Xue Changfeng's mother was murdered, she still needs to find out. Especially she also wants to know whether Lu Changan has really become so evil and even... despicable!

"I will tell Mr. Xue, but not now." Liu Yunxiang said.

Xue Changfeng shrugged and said nonchalantly: "Okay, I still have connections in Weizhou, so I'll write and ask."

When sending Xue Changfeng out, he unexpectedly bumped into Lu Changan, and Liu Yunxiang couldn't help but panic.
