Su Li's move can be said to have accomplished multiple things with one stone.

He won the favor of Emperor Yinde and made Emperor Yinde feel that he was a loyal minister who took the overall situation into consideration.

If Yunshu gets married, Emperor Yinde will definitely give him a promotion to make up for his debt to Su Qingyao.

Above the concubine is the imperial concubine, above the imperial concubine is the imperial concubine, and above the imperial concubine is the empress of the world.

After giving up Yunshu and becoming the head of the country, Su Li definitely won this round.

"Why!" Su Qingyao clenched her hands so hard that her nails dug into her flesh, but she didn't feel any pain at all.

Zi Qiu was kneeling on the side, feeling uncontrollably distressed when she looked at her master.

Su Li knew how to bully his master, and now, even the young master was bullying him.

Su Qingyao raised her eyes, stubbornly refusing to shed a tear. It turns out that the human heart is the last thing that should be tested.

"Kill Su Li on my behalf!"

When Su Qingyao mentioned this name, there was no warmth in her tone.

She originally wanted to spare Su Li's life because he had saved her mother, but now, she felt that she was too kind, so kind that Su Li dared to touch her daughter.

"I obey." Ye Jiu was not surprised by Su Qingyao's arrangements. He was Su Qingyao's secret guard, and he had to fulfill his master's orders even if it cost his own life.

"Wait a minute." Su Qingyao raised her hand and thought for a while, "If it is really Shu'er this time, then don't let him die so happily."

"Master, I feel that it is not very possible for the princess to get married. Your Majesty secretly sent all the generals to the Yangxin Hall today to discuss important matters. They have been discussing for more than two hours."

Ye Jiu explained.

"Over there at Yangxin Hall, my subordinates are watching. Master, please rest first."

Su Qingyao sighed deeply. She still had to think of a perfect way to protect her daughter.

It's night, Yangxin Hall.

Emperor Yinde was looking at a map when Shangguan Xiaolin walked in directly and knelt in front of him without saying anything.

Emperor Yinde was not surprised and waved his servants to retreat.

"Xiao Lin, get up."

"I dare not get up." Shangguan Xiaolin said firmly, as if he was asking the emperor for an explanation.

Emperor Yinde exhaled a deep breath, "Then tell me why you don't dare to get up."

"It is a serious crime for a minister to fail to share his worries for the king. I sincerely ask your Majesty to forgive you."

Emperor Yin De heard it and was trying to get angry with him.

It seemed that he already knew everything that happened in the Yangxin Hall in the afternoon.

Emperor Yinde, Gu Wenkang and several generals discussed it all afternoon and felt that this battle still had to be fought.

If he chooses to get married, he will have to send a princess there every few years, so he won't be able to keep any of his daughters.

But the generals are still a little afraid of Beiyan, after all, their strength cannot be underestimated.

Therefore, the general who will lead the troops on the expedition has not been decided yet.

"I am willing to lead troops on an expedition, and I ask for your Majesty's permission." Shangguan Xiaolin said seriously.

"No!" Emperor Yin De refused.

This afternoon, Shangguan Xiaolin was not summoned because he did not want him to suffer on the battlefield at such a young age.

Prince Chongheng went, and so did Queen Chun Zhao Yiren.

Both the eldest princess and the consort left the capital.

The Shangguan clan that was once so prosperous now only has Shangguan Xiaolin and his family of three.

"You are still young, and military success is not at this time."

"Your Majesty, do you think that I am doing it for military glory? Even if I am not a general, I am still the crown prince of the late emperor. I can live a happy life, but your Majesty told me that I have to fight for everything by myself. What do my parents have? Those are all my parents’.”

"It's because of this that I made up my mind to participate in the martial arts examination. After winning the first prize, many people were unconvinced, but I have a clear conscience."

"I am now the champion of military affairs and fully qualified to lead troops on expeditions. Please give me your permission." After Shangguan Xiaolin finished speaking, he kowtowed respectfully. At this moment, he was just an ordinary minister.

Emperor Wen Yin looked at Shangguan Xiaolin. He had indeed grown up. He had matured a lot since the eldest princess left the capital.

Shangguan Xiaolin was still a young boy in his mind, but in the blink of an eye, it had already been more than six months.

Shangguan Xiaolin can also stand up and protect others.

If you insist on not allowing him, I'm afraid this matter will be even more difficult to handle.

"Do you know that swords on the battlefield have no eyes?" Emperor Yin De asked seriously.

Shangguan Xiaolin nodded, "I know, but this is not the reason for me to stay behind. If you are afraid of those swords, which princess will your Majesty ask to go and get married?"

"I am Yi'an's master, Wen Jing's uncle, and Yun Shu's uncle. For the sake of the three princesses, I have to go."

Emperor Yinde smiled and pointed at Shangguan Xiaolin. Both Yi'an and Wenjing could understand him, but this was Yun Shu's uncle. Shangguan Xiaolin was his cousin, so it was reasonable for Yun Shu to call him uncle.

"Your mouth is still so eloquent. Since you insist on doing this, I will agree to it. When you return in triumph, I will make you a general."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." A smile finally appeared on Shangguan Xiaolin's face. He would be able to lead the troops on the expedition soon.

Emperor Yinde stepped forward, helped him up personally, and patted his shoulder heavily, "Xiao Lin, I believe you."

That night, Emperor Yinde issued an order, ordering Shangguan Xiaolin to lead 100,000 elite troops to attack Beiyan.

As soon as the imperial edict came out, everyone was a little surprised. They didn't expect His Highness to be serious this time.

As one hundred thousand elite soldiers left the capital in a mighty manner, this matter finally came to an end, and Su Qingyao and others could finally let go of their hanging hearts.

But Emperor Yinde was still worried. He only hoped that Shangguan Xiaolin could win the battle quickly and come back safely.

This child has never suffered much since he was a child. This time, I am afraid he will suffer for a while.

The days passed slowly, and Emperor Yin De's body improved. Now he listened to Su Qingyao's advice and never dared to stay up late again.

At the end of April, Shangguan Xiaolin wrote that the first raid had burned one-third of Beiyan's grain and grass, catching them off guard.

After Emperor Yinde received the letter, Long Yan was overjoyed, as if he had seen the dawn of victory.

He directly shared the news with Su Qingyao, who was sitting next to him drinking tea.

Su Qingyao smiled and said, "I congratulate Your Majesty."

Emperor Yinde nodded slightly, "Xiao Lin really did not let me down." As he said that, he suddenly remembered something, "Is the Dragon Boat Festival coming soon?"

Su Qingyao nodded, "It's coming soon. I'm about to discuss this matter with Your Majesty? Because of the national mourning, we definitely can't do it in a big way, so I and Sister De Fei discussed it. All the sisters can make rice dumplings together. Even if It’s a small gathering, please allow Your Majesty’s permission.”

Emperor Yinde naturally agreed, "If there are many children in your palace, please go to Weiyang Palace. And Xiao Lin's wife, please ask her to come with Shixian."
