Queen Zhu's voice reached several people's ears, and even Fang Lan, the dullest one, noticed something was wrong.
Concubine Xiao bit her lower lip, her shoulders couldn't stop trembling, and said softly, "It's him...how dare he!"
Even though the harem concubine has lived in the deep courtyard for a long time, she still knows the influence of the name Song Fei on the barbarians.
Without the general who protects the country, the barbarian cavalry would have crushed Dayan long ago.
To Dayan, Song Fei was nothing more than a sea-fixing needle, but now, it was cut off by his own hands.
Concubine Xiao's face became increasingly pale, and her lips trembled as she said, "Empress, General Song is gone, and the barbarians are no longer afraid of us. Sending Mi'er to be married at this time will undoubtedly lead to her death!"
Queen Zhu frowned and was about to scold her when she saw Fang Xu Youyou opened her mouth.
"In that case, why doesn't your concubine come with us?"
Fang Xu's voice sounded, and everyone's eyes instantly fell on her.
Fang Xu's lips curled up slightly, and a trace of darkness flashed in his eyes, "I remember that the concubine's father and brother are all serving in the court, and... they are all military generals."
Concubine Xiao stared at Fang Xu, unable to hear clearly what she was saying behind her. She only felt her blood flowing backwards and was extremely cold, "You...you mean..."
"How dark that person's heart is, I don't think I need to remind the noble concubine." Fang Xu looked directly at her with an indifferent expression, "General Song returned the military power long ago, but he still can't escape death. His heart is so cruel, there is no guarantee The next one is the Xiao family."
Concubine Xiao's lips were slightly opened, and she was breathing heavily, but her mind became clearer.
"The imperial concubine has only one daughter. The Xiao family has no one to rely on and can only live on the remaining favor of the emperor. It's like a life of thin ice. Hasn't General Xiao lived enough?"
Fang Xu looked at her with a smile, but her emotions were still not discernible in his tone, "The fourth prince is an upright man and is the best candidate. If the Xiao family can see the situation clearly and take sides in time, the Queen will testify today. The fourth prince will definitely not treat them harshly in the future."
After finishing his words, Fang Xu looked at the woman looking up with a smile and said softly, "Empress, is what I said true?"
Meeting her eyes, Queen Zhu instantly understood and nodded slowly, "Yes, I will naturally vouch for the Xiao family."
Concubine Xiao looked dull, staring at the ground, completely out of ideas.
"Concubine Xiao."
Queen Zhu called her up, and Concubine Xiao slowly raised her face, looking at the Queen with confusion in her eyes.
Queen Zhu curled her lips and whispered, "I am tired of my current life. Are you... still willing to continue fighting?"
Concubine Xiao waited for a while and then asked in a low voice, "Then we are going to...reverse..."
She didn't dare to say the rest of the words. The clothes on her back were already soaked with sweat, and she couldn't help but tremble even as she spoke.
Fang Xu curled his lips, knowing in his heart that it was done, and said lightly, "Now everything is ready, all we need is... the east wind."

Lingshan in the suburbs of Beijing
Zhuangzi was built on the mountainside, surrounded by towering trees, completely covering the small courtyard.
In the room, the man smiled flatteringly, bent down and poured a glass of white wine for the person in front of him, "Mr. Sir, our people will be here in less than three days."
The man was sitting at the table, holding chopsticks to pick up the food, and just hummed slightly when he heard the words.
Look at that appearance, it's Yuan Chi.
"Are you all ready?" Yuan Chi picked up a peanut, put it in his mouth, and chewed it slowly.
"As for me, I've already prepared it, just waiting for your order..." The man raised his eyebrows, as if he was extremely confident about what was going to happen next.
Yuan Chi sneered, picked up the wine cup in front of him, and took a sip.
The spiciness of the liquor stimulated the tip of his tongue. Yuan Chi's eyes turned red, and he said in a deep voice, "Tell them to stop on the outskirts of Beijing and wait for my order."
The man was puzzled, blinked, and asked in a low voice, "Now that everything is ready, what are you waiting for?"
Yuan Chi raised his eyelids and glanced at him lightly.
The man paused and lowered his head angrily, "This subordinate talks too much."
Yuan Chi turned his gaze back, his eyes darkening, "Now that the emperor has not made any move, we must not launch troops in a daze."
"Yes." The man raised his hand and filled the glass of wine for him, "It is your great wisdom to prepare for a rainy day."
"Send someone to keep an eye on Yuan Chen." Yuan Chi lowered his head and chuckled, his movements relaxed, "Of my younger brothers, only the fourth one can catch my eye, the rest are useless."
The man bowed his head and said in a deep voice, "Yes, I understand."
Yuan Chi put down his chopsticks, took the handkerchief from the man, and wiped his mouth gently, "Have you arranged everything for later?"
When the man heard this, he immediately beamed with joy, "I'll tell you, my subordinates have made good arrangements. This batch of girls have received special training and are very tolerant. They will never die as easily as the previous batch!"
Yuan Chi hummed, stood up casually, and said calmly, "Send someone to the city to buy some good things, and then write a letter in my name and send it to Jichuan."
"The princess needs to be coaxed. Now that things are uncertain, the Zhou family is still useful."
The man nodded hurriedly and responded in a low voice, "Don't worry, Mr. Lang, my subordinates will handle this matter properly and not let the princess know any news about the capital."
Yuan Chi was satisfied and raised the corners of his lips, "If things can be done well, I will make you Prime Minister Zuo and stay by my side in the future."
The man was overjoyed. He bent his knees and knelt down directly, "Thank you sir, sir!"
Yuan Chi smiled, casually threw the handkerchief on the ground, stroked his clothes, and said in a deep voice, "Let's go and see the girls."
The man stood up in a hurry and greeted him respectfully, "The girls have been waiting for a long time. They are just waiting for your husband to love them."
When Yuan Chi heard this, he looked up to the sky and laughed, and walked out of the house.
The two of them had just arrived at the yard when an iron arrow shot out of the air, like a white rainbow penetrating the sun, passing through the dense woods and pointing directly at Yuan Chi's heart.
By the time Yuan Chi noticed something unusual, it was too late and he had no choice but to turn sideways to save his life.
The arrow flew out and plunged straight into Yuan Chi's shoulder. The force was so strong that Yuan Chi took several steps back. His body went limp and he fell to the ground.
"Mr. Lang!" the man exclaimed and quickly went to help him.
Yuan Chi turned pale, squeezed his shoulders, gritted his teeth and said, "Leave me alone, send someone to chase me! Call the doctor!"
"...Yes!" The man stood up in a hurry and rushed to the front yard.
Yuan Chi closed his eyes and gritted his back molars to prevent himself from shouting. The heartbreaking pain spread from his shoulders. It was unbearable, "Damn it, don't let this arrow be poisonous!"
Yuan Chi lowered his head, intending to take a look at his wound, but in a daze he saw the scripture on the arrow tail. He was stunned and lost his reaction for a moment.
After a moment, the man rushed back and knelt on one knee in front of Yuan Chi, "Lang Jun, I have sent people to chase you. Are you okay..."
"There's no need to chase." Yuan Chi's face had long lost color, and a thin layer of sweat formed on his forehead.
"Mr. Lang..."
Yuan Chi held his shoulders, his eyes were cold, and he murmured in a low voice, "Father, since you are like this, your son no longer has to feel guilty." (End of Chapter)
