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

After the Qianqiu Banquet, Liu Yunxiang pulled Pei Xuan aside.

"Did you receive the letter I sent you?"

Pei Xuan chuckled, "I got it."

"Then why didn't you reply to me and make me think that Leng Yuxie was unwilling to help me!" She was so anxious these days that she had already prepared for the worst, and was really going to become a traitor!

Pei Xuan said hurriedly: "Don't blame me for this. If you want to blame, blame your sworn brother."

Liu Yunxiang pouted, "I let him take advantage."

"He said there is no rush. He will test the relationship between you and His Highness Seventh Prince first. If it can withstand the test, then he will come up with this imperial edict. If he cannot withstand it..."

Liu Yunxiang raised his eyebrows, "What if I can't bear it?"

Pei Xuan touched his nose and said, "I will snatch you to Beijin."

Liu Yunxiang snorted, "In any case, he is quite loyal."

"Princess Protector, if you have a place to live, your title is not empty. This is a sign of loyalty."

"It's not necessary."

"Just go ahead. If you and His Highness Seventh Prince are kicked out of Da Rong one day, there will be somewhere to go."

Liu Yunxiang glared at Pei Xuan, "Can't you hope for something better?"

"How can I not wish you well? We are in the same boat. What's good for you is what's good for me."

Liu Yunxiang nodded with satisfaction. This can also be said, whether he is good or she is good. In her previous life, this businessman was the richest merchant on the entire continent. Climbing into him in this life was like riding a smooth sailing boat. Her wealth was already rapidly accumulating.

"By the way, where's Sister Lan? Is she with you?"

Pei Xuan shook his head, "No, it's freezing and snowy, and she is inconvenient."

Liu Yunxiang's face was filled with joy, "Sister Lan is happy?"

"Well, spring is about to give birth."

"Great!"

Pei Xuan is a mother-in-law who has many things to do but loves her. After he married Lan Niang, he never messed with other women, he only cared about her.

"I won't stay any longer. I will return in two days. She is clumsy and confused all day long. She will not be able to take good care of herself without me."

Liu Yunxiang smiled and said: "Okay, when I have the opportunity, I will go visit her and the child."

"As for the princess of Changning, the emperor's intention is very clear. Although she comes to marry on behalf of Beijin, she can choose her own husband. Of course, as a princess, she is not as good as you, the eldest princess. If you ask her to choose someone, she has to listen. .”

"She can choose anyone, as long as it's not Yan Mu."

When the two of them finished speaking and returned to the banquet, they saw the emperor smashing the wine glass in his hand at the minister who was kneeling on the ground with anger on his face. The wine glass was hit quite accurately. It hit the minister's head and blood immediately came out.

"As the commander of the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, you have the important responsibility of protecting the capital. Now assassins from the Southern Jin Dynasty have sneaked into the capital, and you are completely unaware of it!"

This was the commander of the camp on the outskirts of Beijing. Blood was pouring from his forehead. He had no time to wipe it off and replied: "I deserve death for my negligence!"

"You really damn!"

"Father, those assassins took advantage of the celebration of the Qianqiu Festival to sneak into the city disguised as jugglers. Although the camp on the outskirts of Beijing was responsible for dereliction of duty, it was difficult to prevent them. It is better to let Wan Tong take the lead and capture all the escaped assassins. , and then deal with it." Yan Mu stepped forward and said.

Other ministers also expressed their opinions, hoping that the emperor would give Commander Wan another chance.

While the emperor was thinking about it, Qin Fei arrived. He seemed to have been through a fierce battle, with injuries on his face and body.

"Back to the Emperor, our five-city military division has captured a total of 36 assassins, killed 30, and left six alive. Please make your decision, Your Majesty."

The assassins were all captured and the emperor nodded with satisfaction.

"Have you inquired?"

"After asking, they are indeed from the Southern Jin Dynasty. This trip is... to assassinate the emperor!"

When the emperor heard this, he couldn't help but staggered, "Kill, kill them all! This is too much bullying. I, Darong, and he in the Southern Jin Dynasty have always been in harmony with each other, but they are so greedy for the hinterland of the Central Plains, so they are so arrogant and rude!"

The emperor paused for a moment, then looked at the commander of the camp on the outskirts of Beijing and Qin Fei who were kneeling below. He snorted coldly and said, "Thanks to the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, they discovered something was wrong with this group of people in time, monitored them closely, and finally put them under control." Catch them all in one net. The Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division has done its duty. From now on, the inner city will be handed over to the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division to guard. As for the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, they are probably used to being pampered and have slacked off. Let’s withdraw from the inner city first and train well. Commander Wan , you are really old, and since you have been in charge of the camp on the outskirts of Beijing for so many years and have never made any big mistakes, I will allow you to retire and return to your hometown."

Commander Wan lowered his head and sighed, saying: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. It's just that for the commander of the camp in the suburbs of Beijing, the veteran boldly recommends Chang Sheng, the deputy commander. He has been in the camp for many years and has always fulfilled his duties loyally, and the soldiers below also obey him. "

The emperor waved his hand, "Let's discuss this matter in court. Please step aside."

Commander Wan wanted to recommend Vice Commander Chang again, but the emperor frowned and turned around and left the banquet with a look of great annoyance.

After the banquet was over, Liu Yunxiang and Yan Mu came out of Feifeng Palace and met Lu Changan at the gate of the palace.

Liu Yunxiang took two steps forward, smiled at Lu Changan and said, "Congratulations, Prince Lu."

Lu Changan smiled bitterly and shook his head, "There's nothing to be happy about."

Liu Yunxiang frowned, "Master Lu, Fei'er is a good girl. Even if you have other thoughts, please be nice to her and don't hurt her heart."

Lu Changan was startled for a moment, feeling embarrassed as if he had been exposed in person, "Of course I...of course I won't let her down."

A calculated marriage is also amidst intrigues, and sooner or later it will be torn apart. If it had been anyone else, she would not have said these two words to Lu Changan, but it was Tuoba Feier. She felt sorry for him and was also very angry with Lu Changan.

Perhaps sensing Liu Yunxiang's emotions, Lu Changan lowered his head and smiled bitterly, "There are not many roads in front of me. This is the only one I can take."

"Is it."

Lu Changan raised his head and smiled, "You may not understand it now, but you will in the future."

Liu Yunxiang shook his head, "I won't do it in the future either."

Lu Changan was stunned. He had always thought that he and Liu Yunxiang would end up together by different paths, but her words pushed him far away.

At this time, Tuoba Feier ran over happily. She was still wearing the colorful Western Vietnamese clothes. There were pendants on the clothes, and she made jingling bells when she ran.

"Sister Liu, I told the Queen that I will live in your house these days. When the wedding date is set, I will marry from the palace into Prince Suping's house..."

Tuoba Feier said as she ran. When she ran up to him, she saw Lu Changan. Thinking of what she just said, this careless girl actually blushed.

"Lu...Brother Lu, why are you here?"

Lu Changan smiled at Tuoba Fei'er, then saluted Liu Yunxiang, "I will trouble you to take care of the princess during this time."

Liu Yunxiang took Tuoba Feier's hand and said, "We are friends, Prince Lu, you're welcome."

Lu Changan glanced at Tuoba Fei'er again, then turned around and left the palace first.

Tuoba Feier kept looking at Lu Changan's back. When the back disappeared into the night, she turned back sadly.

Yan Mu stepped forward and patted her on the back of the head, "Brother Lu, you are full of words, don't you see your brother Yan?"

This time she was really exerting herself. Tuoba Feier rubbed the back of her head, and then jumped up and down in anger to scratch Yan Mu, but he blocked it easily.

Tuoba Feier turned to hug Liu Yunxiang and complained, "Sister Liu, please take care of him, why are you so annoying!"
