"That's what Mrs. He said." Fei Nu replied. When Cuilu heard the news back from the other end, Fei Nu was also surprised. I don't know whether to admire the woman's courage or say something else.

"Who, the second lady, exchanged identities with Miss He, is the real General Feihong, and Mrs. He should know that Mrs. He should have known it." Feinu said: "He, the second lady, may use He Xinying to threaten Mrs. He, but Mrs. He, dare not tell the truth. If Mrs. He, the secret of the He family should be easily revealed." Speaking of this, Feinu sighed in his heart, who could have thought that General Feihong, who made the Qiang people scared on the battlefield, turned out to be a woman? And how did Mrs. He and Mr. He, be so heartless that a girl's family would bear this excessively heavy fate, and after success, she would kill the donkey.

They believed that they had seen all kinds of cruelty on the battlefield, but when they knew the truth, they still couldn't help but feel sorry for General Feihong who died unjustly.

A famous general of a generation should die vigorously and on the battlefield, rather than being killed by sinister tricks in ordinary back houses.

"What Mrs. He Er said is only mentioning He Xinying?" Xiao Jue asked.

Feinu nodded: "Yes."

Xiao Jue lowered his eyes: "I understand."

"Young Master, then..."

"Let Cuiluo tell Mrs. He Er," Xiao Jue looked out the window, "I've made this deal."

...

On the first day of December, Utu's envoy Maninbu entered Beijing.

Emperor Wenxuan summoned the Utu envoy in the Golden Palace. In Qinglan Palace, Concubine Lan was leaning against the soft collapse and watching the palace maids cook tea.

Concubine Lan is not young now. New beauties come in every year in the harem, and she is the only one who is favored by His Majesty. Everyone says that Concubine Lan has such good luck, which is favored by the emperor and has a son with both virtue and talent. But she is not fighting or robbing her. Not to mention that she is pressing on the queen, even Concubine Ni dares to be arrogant to her.

However, since Emperor Wenxuan handed over the fifth prince Guangji to Concubine Lan to raise, Concubine Lan has been restrained a lot. The fifth prince Guangji was young. Although Concubine Ni repeatedly reminded him that Concubine Lan was not a good person, Guangji felt that Concubine Lan was much gentler to him than his biological mother, and there had never been a dispute with Concubine Lan.

The same is true today.

Guangji ran in from outside, and the old lady behind him hurriedly followed him and said, "Fifth Prince runs slowly, be careful, don't fall!"

"Mother!" Guangji ran to Concubine Lan in one breath and said with a smile: "Today, the ukulele envoy has entered the palace. The father summoned them in the hall. I heard that the ukulele people gave many gifts, including half a height of ivory, and white peacocks... Mother, I want to go and see it!"

Concubine Lan smiled and patted the snow grains on him, "If you want to go, go."

"Don't the mother's wife be with her son?" Guangji asked.

"I won't go." Concubine Lan smiled, "Just let Madam Chang take you there."

The fifth prince was young and wanted to see the white peacock. Hearing this, he said, "Okay, I'll go there now. After watching it, I'll tell my mother about the new things!"

Madam Chang took the fifth prince's hand and left. Concubine Lan smiled and shook her head, "It's like a child."

"My fifth brother is young at first," a voice sounded from outside the door, "It's normal to be a little childish."

The palace maid behind him hurriedly said, "I have seen the Fourth Prince."

The fourth prince Guangshuo stepped in.

Concubine Lan was born with a beautiful and delicate appearance. The fourth prince looked like her mother. She was elegant and handsome. She looked much more friendly and reliable than the prince Guangyan Chengri's appearance of indulging in his heart.

When Concubine Lan saw Guangshuo, she immediately laughed, pulled him to sit down in front of the stove on the side, and asked the palace maid to pour hot tea for Guangshuo, and said, "Why are you free to come to me today?"

"The father saw those ucoms in the hall, and the prince was there, so the son came over to see his mother's mother." Guangshuo said with a smile.

Concubine Lan smiled slightly and didn't say anything.

"My mother also knows about those utu messengers?"

Concubine Lan's expression was no longer as relaxed as she had just faced Guangjishi. She sighed, "I know."

"The father's wish to meet those envoys has already shown that he is willing to accept the peace of the Uttors." Guangshuo's smile also faded, "It's fine. Now after the battle between Jiyang and Rundu, the Uttors dare not act rashly for the time being, but if the father promised them to open a strife in the Great Wei Dynasty... the consequences are unimaginable."

Concubine Lan looked outside, "The others retreat, Yugui, close the door."

The palace maids all retreated and Yugui closed the door.

Concubine Lan looked at Guangshuo, "Have you ever said these words in front of your father?"

Guangshuo shook his head: "No. The father never talks about these things with me."

Emperor Wenxuan liked the fourth prince because the fourth prince was like Concubine Lan. Concubine Lan had outstanding literary talent and gentle temperament, and did not fight or rob. In the deep palace, like the last piece of pure land deep in the emperor's heart, it cannot be defiled. Therefore, even though Empress Zhang did not like Concubine Lan very much, Concubine Lan still lived well in the deep palace for so many years. Because she did not make mistakes, the emperor also protected her. This pity and respect for Concubine Lan also continued to Guangshuo.

The same was true for Guangshuo. No matter how the court officials encouraged him to compete with the prince for that position, Guangshuo was not moved. When he was with Emperor Wenxuan, most of the conversation was about poetry and painting - political affairs and country, which should be the matter that the prince was worried about. If he overruled too much, it would arouse the emperor's disgust.

"Guangshuo," Concubine Lan looked at him and suddenly said, "Do you want to fight?"

Guangshuo was stunned.

"Do you want to compete for that position?" Concubine Lan repeated again.

As if the secret in his heart was exposed, Guangshuo avoided Concubine Lan in a embarrassed manner, "I dare not."

"I only ask you if you want to, and I don't ask you if you dare." In the eyes of the gentle woman, she was never determined and unfamiliar condensation.

Guangshuo was looked at by those eyes and couldn't help but speak, "...think."

After a while, he calmed down and said, "I think. Mother, the prince is not worthy of being a crown prince at all. He only knows how to eat, drink and have fun. There must be private contact between the Uttor and him. If there are other brothers with both virtue and talent in the palace, I will support him, but now there is no one else. If one day Guangsheng takes the position, no one knows what the Wei Dynasty will look like in the future."

"Perhaps, there is no Great Wei at all."

As the last word fell, the palace was extremely quiet, as if shocked by his rebellious words.

Concubine Lan sighed softly.

"I have never thought about anything else for so many years. I didn't want to enter the palace at the beginning. Since I have already come in, I will live well. I don't care about the Utuan, nor about the emperor, or even the future of the Wei Dynasty. I don't care about it." She looked at Guangshuo, reached out and brushed Guangshuo's face, and a gentle smile appeared in her eyes, "In this palace, Guangshuo, I only care about you."

"If Guangyan became the emperor, you, my mother and son would have no way to live." She said the cruelest words in her voice, "I have lived for most of my life and will not matter if I die. But you can't do it, Guangshuo." She smiled, "You are so smart and gentle, and so young, how can you die at the hands of such people? I will never allow it."

Guangshuo looked at the woman who stood up from the soft collapse, and his eyebrows were as beautiful as before, and his movements had completely changed. A boiling emotion suddenly surged in his heart, as if the impulse that had been accumulated for a long time was about to break out of the ground.

"Mother..."

"Your Majesty's favor is already there. You have also had the love of court officials and the people. But only these two things are not possible. He Rufei has been bribed and wants to compete for this position..."

"You must get Xiao Huaijin." She said.
