On the bed, Lu Linzhi was helped to sit up.

Ye Zhilan asked Nanny Jiang to feed him the medicine personally. When he saw Fu Guiyun come in, he seemed a little at a loss. He looked around for a moment and saw that everyone around him was the princess's people, so he had to smile.

Seeing that she was safe and sound and had regained her former spirit, Lu Linzhi was happy from the bottom of his heart and felt that the pain in his body was relieved a lot.

He deliberately avoided her gaze and said calmly, "I'm sorry to have worried the princess and the crown prince, but I only suffered some minor injuries, nothing serious."

Hearing this, Qing Su wanted to rush forward and lift up his tightly covered body to let everyone see whether the minor flesh wounds were serious or not.

Ye Zhilan knew his temper. He was always willing to grit his teeth and swallow his suffering. In the hot summer, he was wrapped up so tightly, which was not conducive to his recovery. So he ordered Madam Kong: "Ask the palace to make more ice and send it over."

Lu Linzhi was not hypocritical. Seeing that the princess looked much better, he looked at Fu Guiyun with satisfaction and said respectfully, "It is the princess who is capable of keeping Doctor Xue."

"It's only thanks to Mr. Lu that I'm so lucky," Fu Guiyun said sincerely.

She knew that Doctor Xue was willing to stay not only because of her, but also because of Lu Linzhi's favor.

"My health is all right."

Ye Zhilan interjected: "Look at you, you always risk your life when things happen. You should take care of yourself."

Lu Linzhi said solemnly: "This is my duty as a nephew, and it should be so."

He wanted to ask about the situation in the city, but he believed that the Crown Prince's wife would have thought about it as much as he did. When the Crown Prince went to the city wall, he must have given all the necessary instructions.

There was only one thing that she didn't think was appropriate to mention, so she took the initiative to speak: "Song Weizhao has occupied Yundu and proclaimed himself emperor. Although he is not worthy of the position, he has finally got what he wanted. With the might of the Alkh Iron Cavalry, no one dares to oppose it. If the Liyang Palace does not respond, in the long run, the entire Central Plains will probably have to recognize this new king who killed the king and betrayed the country."

Glancing at Ye Zhilan, he said solemnly: "Since the prince has won the Nine Cauldrons Jade Seal, please ask the princess to contact the elders of the Ye and Lu families and the powerful officials in the southern border, and ask the prince to follow the will of heaven and establish the country as soon as possible to win the hearts of the people."

In response to this, Ye Zhilan did not reply immediately, but secretly looked at Fu Guiyun.

Fu Guiyun is now more and more certain that Lu Linzhi, like himself, has been reborn.

In the previous life, the Lu family surrendered to him only because he was able to persuade Song Weizhao to pacify the various vassal kings.

But now, not only is he surrounded by Princess Nalan, who treats the people of the Central Plains as straw dogs, but he also has Fu Yuanshu, who has long been jealous of the Shangliyang Palace. If he continues to submit to him, both he and the Lu family will be killed without a burial place.

"What Mr. Lu said makes sense."

Fu Guiyun echoed, "Jiangzuo has always been led by the Ye and Lu families. Now that my father and the prince have won back the hearts of the people of Darong, Dali, and Tuoyue, it is time to appease them. However, the Emperor of Dakang was slaughtered. If we want to be justified, we have to establish a country and confer titles on it. This is the only way to win back the hearts of the people."

After thinking for a while, she continued, "Not only that, father should also recruit famous people from all over the world and take in refugees from the north, so that the new dynasty established by Song Weizhao will not be accepted by the world at all."

In her previous life, she was able to use these soft strategies to help Song Weizhao win the hearts of the people and stabilize the Song dynasty. Ultimately, she helped Song Weizhao build an army of his own that was strong enough to fight against the Alkh Cavalry.

Recently, she heard that many northerners crossed the river to the south, and the Alkh Iron Cavalry burned, killed, and looted in the northern region, making life miserable for the people. It seemed that Fu Yuanshu did not have her own foresight, but just compromised with Princess Nalan, which allowed the Alkh Iron Cavalry to enter Yundu.

Doing so is tantamount to inviting a wolf into the house.

Ye Zhilan listened to the two's advice and was completely convinced. He immediately nodded and said, "When I return home, I will write a letter to ask your uncle from the Ye family to come to Liyang City."

Thinking of the girl from the Cui family, Ye Zhilan frowned unconsciously: "Ying'er was not able to enter the capital to be crowned as a concubine. I'm afraid she has resentment in her heart. The powerful families in Dali are entrenched. If she can't be properly settled, I'm afraid it will cause instability in the southern border."

"It would be better to leave this matter to Father and the Crown Prince to decide."

Fu Guiyun had thought about this a long time ago.

Once the Lu family becomes emperor, based on the current situation, Lu Linfeng has occupied Jiurong City, and the southern border needs people to be stationed. These two princes will inevitably be promoted to the throne to consolidate the foundation of the new dynasty.

Cui Ying currently has only two options: either marry Lu Linchu and become the prince's concubine, or the other option that would please her is to marry Lu Linfeng and become the principal princess.

Based on his understanding of Lu Linchu and Cui Ying, Lu Linchu didn't like this man in the first place and would not keep this trouble around him, and Cui Ying was not willing to devote herself to please Lu Linchu, she would firmly choose Lu Linfeng.

Thinking of this, she smiled at Ye Zhilan and said calmly: "No matter what the situation is in the future, please ask mother to write a letter to warn father. Lu Changshi has made great contributions to defending Liyang this time. He has great prestige. It is most appropriate for Lu Changshi to guard Liyang. Big brother has made great contributions in conquering Jiurong, so it is also safe to let big brother continue to defend Jiurong."

Listening to her words, Lu Linzhi admired her from the bottom of his heart.

I didn't expect this girl to have such deep thoughts.

Cui Ying comes from a noble family in Dali. If he asks his brother to garrison in Liyang, and then the two of them get married, they will be able to win the hearts of the entire Jiangzuo people.

But if he is asked to garrison in Liyang, this marriage will be just a superficial effort to show off to the world.

Ye Zhilan was already wary of Lu Linfeng, but her daughter-in-law's arrangement made her suddenly feel enlightened.

"Lu Qian is a disappointing kid, but Lin Xue has always been respectful and loyal over the years."

After thinking for a while, she said in a serious tone: "Yun'er, in the future, Linfeng and Linxue will have to rely on you to check and balance the prince. Your cousin Zhan'er has always been close to Linfeng, and Linxue must not marry into the Ye family."

Fu Guiyun understood what his mother-in-law meant. She had previously entrusted Ye Qiong's marriage to him, intending to meet a young man from the Fu family with the intention of elevating the Fu family. It seemed that the same intention was behind Lu Linxue's marriage now.

She knew very well how loyal Princess Hexi was to the palace. Although there were hidden dangers in letting this girl marry into the Fu family, it was also a blessing for the Fu family.

The meaning of the mother-in-law's words was obvious. If Lu Linfeng had any other thoughts in the future, she hoped that she could protect the princess.

"Don't worry, mother. If the princess is willing to marry into the Fu family, your daughter-in-law will find a satisfactory marriage for her." She took the initiative to promise.

Only in this way could Ye Zhilan finally satisfy his wish.

Afterwards, he instructed people to take good care of Lu Linzhi and prepared to leave.

After Qing Su sent the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law out of the house, when she returned to the bedroom, Lu Linzhi had a map in his hand.

He handed it to Qing Su slowly and said in a deep voice, "Pick some good fighters to go to Yundu City. I have marked the return route on the map."

Qing Su took it and took a closer look, and couldn't help but smile knowingly.

He really anticipated this. I'm afraid the Crown Princess herself didn't even think of this.
