Lu Renshan sighed: "It is not easy to reach such a state of cultivation."
Lu Junyong: "Disciple like this, the Medicine Master Immortal has reached the holy realm."
…
Zhang Zhongliang wandered around the tent with his hand on the bottle, feeling lost.
Wang Erhan, the Queen, and Wang Chengxi sat around a round table in the back garden and tasted various fruits.
Wang Erhan asked Huangmen: "Princess, have the consort arrived?"
Huangmen: "Your Majesty, we are almost here."
Wang Erhan: "Well, you go to the imperial dining room and get some fine wine and food."
Huangmen: "Yes." Step back.
Wang Erhan: "This time the country is safe and the people are safe, it is all thanks to the consort, and I will definitely reward him heavily."
The queen was angry: "Such a genius was almost killed by Wang Chengxi that day. If the prince-in-law was really bitten to death by a poisonous snake, how could we be able to sit here peacefully today?"
Wang Chengxi has learned to behave well: "Mother, the child knows his mistake. It's just that the child is young and ignorant. Please forgive me, mother."
Queen: "It's good to know. Do you know why I deposed you as the crown prince recently?"
Wang Erhan: "Oh, what happened that day has already changed. You always like to mention it endlessly, and it doesn't bother you."
Queen: "I'll just mention it and let him have a longer memory. It's up to you to protect his shortcomings."
Wang Chengxi: "From now on, children should strictly abide by their mother's teachings and never dare to act arbitrarily."
Queen: "You just have to be nice."
Huangmen came to report: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, the princess's consort is here to see you."
The queen couldn't wait: "Hurry up, hurry up."
After a while, Zhang Zhongliang entered the garden with Mary holding a letter with the seal of the tiger talisman leading soldiers to greet her.
Mary's belly was slightly protruding, and she was already pregnant as she walked.
Queen Lamari sat down next to her and asked about the cold and warmth.
Wang Chengxi said flatteringly: "Sister, I will be your uncle in a few months, and I will definitely love my nephew."
Mary was extremely happy: "Haha, you have become so well-behaved, and my sister is even more happy."
Zhang Zhongliang presented the letter with the tiger talisman seal on the table: "To inform the emperor, it was only a temporary expedient to pay homage to the general due to the situation. Now that the war has ceased, I should return the tiger talisman seal letter and hope for the emperor's permission."
Wang Erhan: "It's necessary. Now that there are no generals in the country, the prince-in-law still needs to exercise military power on his behalf. It won't be too late for me to find a good general in the future to discuss this matter. In the future, don't always call your Majesty the Emperor. So far, I I haven’t heard you say the word “Father”, could it be that I am calling my “Father” to have wronged you?”
Mary smiled and excused herself: "Father, Zhang Zhongliang is in awe of your majesty, isn't it, Zhang Zhongliang?"
Zhang Zhongliang: "My father taught me this. It's just not a long-term solution for a child to stay in this position."
Wang Erhan: "I know you are eager to return home, but firstly, the princess is pregnant now, so it is not convenient for you to travel far away. Secondly, you and I need to make a peace treaty to have good relations from generation to generation, and it will also be convenient for you to return to the country after you return." Your father has told me that you can live in Xiliao peacefully for the time being. The peace treaty will be repaired tomorrow. I will send someone to Nanzhao quickly to report that it is safe and to save your father from worrying. Before the princess gives birth, don't think about returning home. "
Zhang Zhongliang: "The matter of making a promise is also one of the missions of the child. I have thought about it day and night, but in the end I have not succeeded. Today I can make a promise that has been made for generations. I am grateful to my father for his grace. Before the princess gave birth, the child temporarily occupied the position of commander-in-chief. That’s it.”
Wang Erhan: "If you have any inconvenience waiting at the Commander's Mansion, you can move to the palace so that you can be with your father, the Queen, and your Queen."
Zhang Zhongliang: "Thank you very much, Father. It's a good time in the Marshal's Mansion. There are no restrictions."
Wang Erhan nodded: "Yes."
…
Wang Erhan slept with the queen.
Wang Erhan: "Queen, I have something to discuss with you."
The queen was impatient: "Go to sleep, go to sleep..."
Wang Erhan: "I think..."
Queen: "I have said before that the prince is none other than Wang Erlei. He is your and my own flesh and blood, and he is both civil and military. He will fight for you through life and death. Have you forgotten this?"
Wang Erhan: "That's what I'm saying, I'm afraid... The prince went on an expedition with his second uncle last time and was seriously injured. He has not recovered yet..."
Queen: "What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that he will die?! Or will he harm Wang Chengxi after he recovers? Don't worry, my emperor, no matter what, Wang Chengxi is your flesh and blood, and he is also his half-brother. Alei will read And the love of brotherhood.”
Wang Erhan was relieved: "This is very good, very good."
…
Besides, Zhang Zhongliang and Mary were in Xiliao City, and winter turned to spring again. It was early spring, the vegetation was budding, and the birds were chirping on the branches.
Zhang Zhongliang, Mary, Shan Dan, Lu Renshan, Jiang Guan, Lu Junyong, Wei Wei, Wei Jue, and the five warriors sat around a table drinking and chatting.
Zhang Zhongliang: "Since the Western Liao Kingdom stopped fighting in Nanzhao, it has lasted for several months. Now the war has ceased, and there will be several years of peace in the future. Marshal Lu decided to move his family to Western Liao. We will get along day and night from now on, and we will be able to I learned a lot from you. Come, let us all wish peace to the world."
Everyone raised their glasses.
Lu Renshan: "The family moved to Xiliao. Lu just wanted to keep his promise. From now on, he can only live in seclusion in Xiliao and die in the mountains and forests."
Shan Dan: "What about Lu Shuai's grand plans?"
Lu Renshan sighed sadly: "I won't think so from now on. Besides, it is difficult to truly subjugate the loser with force."
Lu Junyong: "Shuai Lu's words make sense. Conquering lies in being convinced. If we use force to conquer the world but people's hearts are not convinced, how can we last long?"
Everyone nodded.
…
When the lights were on, Wang Erhan and the queen were whispering in the bedroom.
Wang Erhan leaned close to the queen's ear and whispered: "Do you know, my dear concubine? I have two great joys this year. From now on, I can play songs every night and sit back and relax."
The queen said angrily: "Your Majesty, where are the two great comforts coming from?"
Wang Erhan: "Suppressing the invasion of Magia and subduing Lu Renshan, this is one of them!"
The Queen nodded approvingly.
Wang Erhan said happily: "We have made peace with Nanzhao for a hundred years, ended the war forever, and retained the prince-in-law as commander-in-chief to lead the army. Now we have achieved great results. This is the second one!"
When the queen saw the emperor praising his wonderful son-in-law, she couldn't help but nod her head in approval. But soon after, he was so happy and sad that he burst into tears.
When Wang Erhan saw this, he was shocked and asked puzzledly: "Why did my beloved concubine cry bitterly?"
The Queen wiped away her tears and said with choked sobs: "Your Majesty has two joys this year, but I have two sorrows."
Wang Erhan was confused: "How do you say this?"
The Queen said sadly: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten all this? In recent years, I have lost three sons one after another. This is one of the most tragic events for me!"
After hearing this, Wang Erhan sadly stroked her hair, which was also mixed with white hair, and nodded with a heavy heart.
After a moment of silence, the queen added: "The princess is pregnant with Liujia and will give birth soon. She will return to Nanzhao after that. She is afraid that we will never see each other again. This is so sad!"
Wang Erhan saw that what the queen said was reasonable, and he also saw that the queen was crying bitterly. At this moment, he wanted to comfort her but couldn't think of the right words to comfort her...
The battle to defend Xiliao City was successful, and the prince-in-law subdued the menacing Lu Renshan. This was originally a happy and gratifying thing, but unexpectedly, Wang Erhan was very disappointed by the queen's "two sorrows". This can be said: life is impermanent!
Besides, the King of Nanzhao was supported by two Huangmen, staggered out from behind the screen, and sat on the king's chair in the main hall, coughing repeatedly.
The ministers lined up on the left and right sides of the main hall, looking solemn.
King Nanzhao's voice was low: "I have been plagued by illness in the past few months, and I am getting worse every day. I am afraid that my illness will be terminal and there will be no cure. I don't have much time left today, so I will discuss my funeral arrangements with you all."
Minister Fan Zeng'er said: "Your Majesty is blessed with great blessings. He occasionally has a slight illness and should recover soon."
King Nanzhao waved his hand: "Birth, old age, illness and death are normal in the world. Everyone in the world is immortal. Even if you are an emperor, there is no exception. Just because the prince is far away in Western Liao, if something happens to me, how can I continue to the throne? My dear sirs Is there a foolproof plan?”
Minister Feng Wenbin: "Your Majesty, it has been five months since the prince left the palace, and there has been no news. If there is anything unexpected, we should send someone to find out as soon as possible."
King Nanzhao said: "This king has this intention, but there is no one who can be sent there."
Youtuo came out and said: "Father, I would like to go to Xiliao to find my elder brother."
Feng Wenbin: "You must, you must not, if the crown prince fails, Prince Youtuo will be the successor. You must not take risks."
Erwea came out: "Your Majesty, I am willing to go."
King Nanzhao: "No, no, no, you are so weak, how can you be worthy of this position?"
Weier Ning came out: "Your Majesty, Weier Ning is willing to go alone. He vows not to return to the palace until he finds the prince."
King Nanzhao nodded: "It's good to go to Weili."
