Quick Wear: The heroine is a top-level boss

The empress dowager was very decisive and promptly invited several important officials to the imperial study for an early morning court session the next day.

Su Xing also participated in the conversation between the important ministers and the Queen Mother. She provided the map and was also responsible for leading the way. Su Xing was an important candidate for this expedition and naturally could not be avoided.

Su Xing was not going to hide his incompetence and simply confirmed his identity as the son of a master.

Of course, for a woman like Su Xing, it is far from enough to gain recognition from these important officials by relying on her identity as the daughter of a great man.

Su Xing really used his own talents to debate with his ministers and convinced them completely no matter how unwilling they were in their hearts.

There is nothing you can do if you don't accept it. You can't win the argument with Su Xing at all. Su Xing's words are very sharp. He quotes classics and makes people doubt their lives without using a single dirty word.

Anyway, in the end, after the important ministers were filled with anger, they decided on a plan to attack the island country and began to prepare food and other sundries for the army to go on the expedition. General Wuwei Chang Ninghai trained the navy in advance in preparation for the expedition.

Su Xing was not in a hurry to establish his authority and win the hearts of the people in the army. After all, there would be plenty of opportunities at sea, so there was no need to rush. If he was too anxious, it would make him look ugly.

Su Xing mostly followed the Empress Dowager around and served as her personal female attendant. Her main purpose was to get familiar with the ministers and let people know that she was the Empress Dowager's new favorite female attendant, so as to subtly enter the political circle.

Su Xing has been following the Queen Mother around every day for a while, and has been so busy that he hasn't returned to Beichen Palace for almost half a month. He has completely forgotten about Mu Beichen, but he has seen Mu Beixiao several times.

Mu Beixiao was full of malice towards Su Xing, especially since Zhao Yanzhen had come to him to complain many times recently. Mu Beixiao hated Su Xing more and more and had been looking for an opportunity to deal with Su Xing.

Unfortunately, Su Xing always followed the Queen Mother. With the Queen Mother's protection, Mu Beixiao could not find any opportunity to punish Su Xing to vent his anger for Zhao Yanzhen. He could only leave the palace frequently to comfort Zhao Yanzhen.

Zhao Yanzhen had a very hard time during this period. Bai used to love Zhao Yanzhen because she had a stable position, was loved by her husband, and her son was the heir to the marquisate, so she had a bright future.

Bai lived in a comfortable life every day, so naturally she didn't mind pampering her daughter and having some fun, but the premise of all this was that Bai herself had a good life.

But now, Bai is still immersed in the pain of losing her only son, who was her future hope. Zhao Ze has already begun to take a concubine in order to give birth to an heir and work hard to prevent himself from having no descendants.

It seemed that the man was eager to indulge in women as soon as his son died, which not only made outsiders laugh at him, but also made Bai very painful.

The husband who once doted on her wholeheartedly suddenly began to stay in the room of his beautiful concubine frequently and did not come to see her once a month. Bai could not bear this gap at all.

The sudden indifference of her loving husband, coupled with the blow of losing her son, caused Bai to age rapidly. In just half a month, she seemed to have aged ten years.

Bai's life was not easy, and she didn't let others have an easy life either. Every day, besides beating and scolding the servants, she would go looking for trouble with Zhao Yanzhen.

Bai may not be unaware that her son's death had nothing to do with Zhao Yanzhen, but she needed a place to vent her pain. What did it matter whether Zhao Yanzhen felt wronged or not?

Zhao Yanzhen was exhausted both physically and mentally by Bai's torture. Today, Bai forced her to copy Buddhist scriptures for Zhao Nanchao's Buddhist hall for the whole day, and tomorrow she will be forced to pick up Buddha beans for a day.

Or she would stay up all night and recite Buddhist scriptures loudly in the yard, saying that it was to accumulate blessings for Zhao Nanchao and bless him to be reborn into a good family in the next life.

This minute method of torture that leaves no visible wounds made Zhao Yanzhen miserable. She wanted to go to Zhao Ze to complain, but Zhao Ze was too lazy to pay attention.

Bai and Zhao Yanzhen had a hard life, and Zhao Ze's life was not easy either. Sleeping with concubines every day was a good thing if it was voluntary, but it was a different matter if he was forced to sleep with women all the time.

Zhao Ze is not young anymore, and his body cannot withstand such hard work, but he has to persevere for the sake of his son.

This made Zhao Ze's life very painful and his temper became more and more irritable. Zhao Yanzhen's complaints not only failed to make him feel distressed, but made Zhao Ze even more upset.

From how coldly Zhao Ze and Bai treat Su Xing, their biological daughter, it can be seen that these two people are very cold-blooded by nature.

When he liked Zhao Yanzhen, the fake daughter, he even trampled on his own daughter to death. Now that he doesn't like her anymore, it is not difficult to understand why one of them tortured Zhao Yanzhen to death while the other turned a blind eye to her suffering.

If it weren't for her emperor lover Mu Beixiao as her spiritual support, Zhao Yanzhen would have given up long ago.

But Mu Beixiao's life was not easy either. He lost his confidant Zhao Nanchao and a large number of well-cultivated forces. The losses were really heavy.

In addition, the Empress Dowager's attitude towards him has been noticeably cold recently, causing the ministers in the court to increasingly ignore him as the emperor.

Mu Beixiao felt pressure he had never felt before. He was afraid that his mother would hold on to power until the end and make him a puppet emperor for decades. This was something Mu Beixiao could not tolerate.
