This battle lasted for more than half a year. After the streets in the capital were paved with golden leaves, Shangguan Tang ascended to the throne with the imperial letter written by the emperor of Dacheng Kingdom.And no one can say that most of this military exploits belonged to Dongfang Sheng, and his voice of slander among the people gradually disappeared, replaced by worship and praise.

The victorious general took the thank you gift presented by Liju, and rushed all the way to the capital. No one knew that in the marching tent, there was still an old monarch Liju who was said to have died of illness.

As the prime minister, Feng Suzhen had to represent the seriously ill emperor to welcome the victorious soldiers. In a state of anxiety, she rewarded the soldiers who had made great contributions one by one, and then threw the home court to Dongfang Sheng, and took the old monarch to meet the emperor of Dacheng Kingdom.

The emperor sat propped up in the "Xuanzheng Palace", looking at the former monarch Liju who was older and sicker than himself, with mixed feelings in his heart, he didn't want to say more, and handed over the full power to Feng Suzhen.

Although the old monarch was considered a prisoner, Feng Suzhen still gave him enough face as the monarch of a country.Wearing a brocade gown of Liju, sitting on a soft chair, holding Tang Po in his hands, and a thousand-year-old ginseng tea in his hand, and sitting face to face with the emperor, those who didn't know thought that the monarch Liju came to discuss state affairs with the emperor.

"Can you tell me now? Is the fanciful flower real or not?" Feng Suzhen asked while standing aside with her hands down, looking at the old monarch's sullen face.

The old monarch seemed to feel cold, shrunk his neck, tried his best to open his drooping eyelids, looked at Feng Suzhen and said, "If you don't believe it, it's fake, if you believe it, it's true."

"But this junior used it and couldn't save his wife."

"Liju has been attached to your Dacheng Kingdom for a hundred years. If we hadn't always emphasized that we are independent, I'm afraid even we would have thought that Liju belonged to Dacheng Kingdom. So, prime minister of Dacheng Kingdom, tell me, how dare Liju take fakes? Fool you?" The old monarch's voice was hoarse and weak, and every sentence he said seemed to be the last sentence.

Feng Suzhen pursed her lips, the emperor glanced at Feng Suzhen, and asked the old monarch: "You said it is true, you have also collected the fanhu flower for many years, so let me ask you, how should the fanhu flower be used?"

"How to use it... Who knows... Who would lack a soul? Can one still live without a soul?"

The emperor was stunned, as if he did not expect the old monarch to answer like this.

Things went beyond expectations, Feng Suzhen couldn't interrogate an old man who was dying, and the emperor couldn't use his dragon power to intimidate the old monarch who was forced to abdicate.

"Report to the emperor, Princess Yuqing is asking to see you." Wang Gonggong stood at the door and said loudly.

With this sound, the old monarch, who had always been soft and boneless, suddenly burst into vitality, and his fish-like pupils seemed to have a luster.

Feng Suzhen discovered the change of the old monarch, as did the aloof emperor.

"Xuan." The emperor picked up the chrysanthemum tea and took a sip.

Hearing what the emperor said, the old monarch tremblingly picked up the untouched ginseng tea and drank more than half of it.

"Your servant pays homage to the emperor, long live my emperor." Shangguan Guan, dressed in a neat palace attire, meticulously gave the emperor the courtesy of a monarch and a minister, without the usual sense of coquettishness.

The emperor asked Shangguan Guan to stand up and asked her, "Why are you here?"

Shangguan Guan did not return to the country with Shangguan Tang. First, she was held hostage in Dacheng, and second, she was unwilling to return to the country. Therefore, the first thing Shangguan Tang did after ascending the throne was to write a letter to Feng Suzhen. The mission has been completed, it is necessary to treat Shangguan Guan kindly.

Shangguan Guan had a slightly immature face showing a smile that was not a smile. She turned her head slightly to look at the Ligu Monarch who was bowing her head, and said, "Go back to the emperor. My daughter heard that the emperor 'invited' my father to come to the court." I came to Dacheng as a guest, but my daughter and father haven't seen each other for a long time, so I boldly entered the palace to ask to see my father."

"Are you here to beg me to let him go?" the emperor raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Father is no longer alive in Liju and Dacheng, and what the emperor wants to do depends on what the emperor says."

The emperor looked at Shangguan Guan with gloomy eyes, and asked her: "What conditions do you offer in exchange for a word from me?"

"My daughter knows the cause of Princess Tianxiang's disease."

Feng Suzhen's eyes widened when she heard the words, if she didn't remember her identity, she would go up and ask her why she didn't say this until now.

She didn't have a chance to ask, the emperor said, "Oh, your father entered Dacheng Kingdom secretly, and no one except your brother knows about it. If you have the ability to find out the news, and you have the courage to come to the palace to meet me, then you have my lifeline in your hands." , isn’t it? That’s why you dragged on until now when you learned the truth, just to negotiate terms with me?”

Shangguan Guan nodded without changing his face, and said: "Yes, what I have for my daughter is to be able to negotiate terms with the emperor."

"Well, what do you want?"

"The courtier wants to ask the emperor to hand over the father to the courtier's disposal."

"It's not difficult. Even if you asked for it before, I wouldn't send troops to attack you Liju."

Shangguan Guan seemed to think it was very funny, his smiling eyebrows were curved, it was really touching, "Your Majesty, what I want to see is Liju being attacked! It would be great if you could let Liju destroy the country! Of course, now the minister The girl is also very satisfied."

"You! Sinister!" The old monarch finally couldn't help but angrily reprimanded.

Shangguanguan turned his head to look at the old monarch, bent down to meet his gaze, and said with a smile, "Father, didn't you know that I was a villain as soon as I was born? Otherwise, why would you let other people tie up my mother and let her live on the street?" □, was stoned to death? Father, do you still remember how your charming mother turned into a puddle of flesh and blood?"

The old monarch took a breath, as if recalling a terrible scene.

The emperor looked coldly at Shangguan Guan talking to the old monarch, and then squinted at Feng Suzhen who had been clenching his fists and forcing himself to calm down.

Feng Suzhen quickly received the emperor's signal, and said to Shangguanguan: "Princess Yuqing's request is agreed to, but I don't know how to verify that what you said is true or false."

"Brother Shaomin, do you still remember when I told you that I was accompanied by guards and broke into a cave by accident? That's true, but I didn't order the guards to destroy the things inside. You have learned everything." Shangguan Guan blinked mischievously.

Feng Suzhen recalled that Shangguanguan did mention this matter in front of her, but at that time they were trying to deceive the national teacher to leave Beijing, and Shangguanguan "unintentionally" revealed to the national teacher that there was such a cave in Liju, and asked the national teacher to put down and pick up Xiantai , set off to Liju to find the cave that does not exist.

"You..." Feng Suzhen didn't know how to evaluate this girl who was a few years younger than herself.

"Haven't you always been curious about why I asked for the title 'Yuqing'? Apart from being related to your princess, there is a lake in that mountain. It is said that the lake is in the same line as your Yuqing Lake, and the location of my brother's sect is It's there too. So Brother Shaomin, Ah Guan is not targeting Sister Tianxiang, so don't misunderstand Ah Guan." After Shangguan Guan finished speaking, he looked at Feng Suzhen pitifully, and he almost shed two tears to show My grievance.

Feng Suzhen sighed lightly, and asked her: "Then it's about the Mihu flower?"

"That's right, my father's tribute is real. He doesn't have the guts to offer fake ones. You see, you just suspected it was fake and asked him to sit in another seat. How dare he fool around with fake ones? "

"Then why..."

"Because the fanhu flower must be a fresh flower, a withered flower, my life is gone, how can I help people regain their soul?" Shangguanguan said seriously.

Feng Suzhen took a deep breath, she hadn't thought about this!

"Then, what should we do?" Feng Suzhen asked anxiously.

Shangguan Guan tapped his chin with his finger, thought for a while and said, "I can help sister Tianxiang wake up temporarily. Although it is a dead flower, it is still useful. But there is no guarantee how long sister Tianxiang can wake up. And if Sister Tianxiang falls asleep again, she won't be able to wake up again."

Feng Suzhen lowered her eyes and thought for a while, then suddenly lifted her clothes and knelt in front of Shangguanguan and said, "Princess Yuqing, please give me some advice."

Shangguanguan looked at Feng Suzhen's resolute eyes in astonishment, and then at the emperor who couldn't tell the difference between happiness and anger, and hurriedly pulled Feng Suzhen up and said: "Oh, I'm not going to save you! Brother Shaomin, get up first! I'll tell you what I know I tell you all!"

Feng Suzhen stood up as she said, looking eagerly at Shangguan Guan.

"You just need to find another fresh fanhu flower during the time when Sister Tianxiang wakes up. After you get it back, I can help you make up for Sister Tianxiang's lost soul."

"Where should I find it?"

"I remember someone telling you that."

Feng Suzhen pondered for a moment, her eyes lit up, and she said, "Come on!"

"Then go ask him."

Feng Suzhen's spirit was shaken, and she cupped her hands to the emperor and said, "Father, my son will go find General Laichi now."

"Well, let's go."

Seeing Feng Suzhen's crimson robe disappearing at the door, the emperor turned his eyes to the Shangguan father and daughter in front of him.

"Shangguan Guan, you are so courageous." The emperor had a smile on his lips.

"The courtiers worship the emperor and always look up to the emperor." Shangguanguan smiled neither humble nor overbearing.

"Hmph, stop talking nonsense and take your father away. From now on, I never want to hear your father's name again."

"The courtiers don't want to hear it either, so please rest assured, Your Majesty." Shangguan Guan turned around to look at the old monarch with a disheveled expression, and smiled happily.
