The sky was overcast with dark clouds and strong winds.
In an instant, large raindrops fell from the sky one after another, hitting the ground and throwing dust into the air. Then countless raindrops gathered and quickly slid out from the eaves in a string.
The rain was noisy, and Lu Qing fanned himself, trying to make Brother Lan feel comfortable.
Heavy rain washed over every corner of the capital. It rained from evening to midnight. I heard at the concubine's house that there were already leaks in several rooms, and no one had ever repaired them.
"I heard that the leakage is most serious in the concubine's house. Both the master and the servant stayed up all night and were busy hiding from the rain!" Mandong felt relieved when he thought about it. Guan Shasha was such a despised person, and now To be reduced to such a state is really because of God's foresight.
Lu Qing just got up. She didn't sleep well and her eyes felt uncomfortable. She rubbed them and concluded: "It must be lively today."
Nature is hard to change, and although Shasha could still keep her tail between her legs for a few days after being demoted to a concubine, she would definitely revert to her old ways after this time.
It depends on whether Ning Huayue can tolerate her.
Everything was under Lu Qing's control. Even though Shasha had moved her seat far back when greeting her, it did not prevent her from asking Ning Huayue in a sharp voice: "The princess slept peacefully by herself, I'm afraid she forgot Are we poor sisters?"
A trace of impatience flashed between Ning Huayue's eyebrows. She raised her lips and said deliberately: "Why can't I understand what the concubine said?"
She said the word "take care of my concubine" very hard, and Guan Shasha felt a lot of guilty conscience visible to the naked eye.
"I just want to remind the princess that the house over the concubine's room has been in disrepair for a long time. After a heavy rain yesterday, no one can live in it anymore." Although Shasha was upset when she thought about the situation where she couldn't get out of the house, she suddenly understood Come on, it's no longer her turn to act wild.
She asked not so deftly: "Princess, can you send someone to repair it?"
Although Shasha was not popular, she offended many people with her nostrils turned upward when she was a concubine, so she and Yingxue were pitifully unable to stand, and no one took the initiative to lend a helping hand.
Ning Huayue showed her authority and nodded reservedly: "Yes."
There was no accurate answer, although Shasha wanted to make trouble when she heard it, but she found that Ji Mingzhu didn't want to talk to her, and no one was on her side.
Guan Shasha gave up and backed away with shame.
Lu Qing listened quietly and never spoke unless there was a need to speak.
Ning Huayue didn't know what kind of wind she was smoking, so she looked at Lu Qing: "How are you, young master? The child can't bear the pain, otherwise I will have someone bring some ice to your Jinqiyuan?"
Brother Lan, who used to skimp on snacks earlier, now cares about people, Lu Qing thought to herself, there was no need for her fake kindness at all.
She said politely: "Ice is precious, I can just fan Brother Lan."
Facing Ning Huayue, Lu Qing couldn't rest assured no matter what. Ice cubes were just a trivial matter. What if she made a fuss about it and harmed Brother Lan?
Ning Huayue was still persuading: "The child is young and may not be able to withstand the heat. Alas, if it hadn't been for the war in Northern Xinjiang, we wouldn't have been without ice..."
Lu Qing almost wanted to laugh, no matter what he said, it didn't make sense.
"Yes, the prince and all the soldiers are still on the battlefield protecting the family and the country. Although Lange'er can't say anything, we must let him know that protecting the family and the country is not an easy task."
The words were pushed back lightly, and Ning Huayue stopped looking for trouble and changed the subject: "The prince has been on the war for more than half a year, and I still don't know when the war will end..."
Ji Mingzhu got some news from her father and said proudly: "I'll be back soon."
**
Yan Fuguang won the final battle.
When the good news reached the capital, Emperor Xihe's chest heaved with excitement. He put his hands on the table and his face turned red with excitement: "Queen! Did you hear that? Fuguang won!"
He was incoherent: "We, our Dayan finally has hope! It's Fuguang, it's my Fuguang! He's so proud of me. When he comes back, I will definitely reward him!"
Empress Xu seemed to be happy but helpless and followed Emperor Xihe's back: "I know you are happy, not only you are happy, but I and the people are also happy, but don't be too excited, take care of your dragon body!"
Commendation? He Yan Fuguang is already a prince, and he has a lot of gold, silver, honor and glory. Is it a reward to give her son the crown prince position to him?
Emperor Xihe had no idea what the people around him were thinking. He was immersed in his excitement for a long time and could not come back to his senses: "Fuguang! He is worthy of my expectations for him. If his mother and concubine were still there, she would definitely do it for Fuguang." feel proud!"
Queen Xu's hands clenched tightly. After many years, it turned out that the emperor still couldn't forget her.
She could no longer suppress her emotions, smiled and said softly: "I will go back and tell more people the good news, and let the people in Prince Jin's Palace prepare in advance to welcome Fuguang. You are busy first, I I’m leaving first.”
As soon as she returned to Fengyi Palace, Queen Xu's smiling face fell, and then there was endless hatred in her eyes.
She asked someone to call Yan Xianzhi, waved the servants away, and mother and son sat face to face in the hall.
"Queen mother..."
"Have you made arrangements?"
Yan Xianzhi said hesitantly: "I have chosen a few places, but I am not sure where to start."
Queen Xu asked him to list the places he had chosen in advance, and then she pointed to the place farthest from the capital.
"Since you have taken action, be more ruthless and don't give him more chances of being rescued."
Yan Xianzhi's fear was greater than his expectation, and he said: "What if he is discovered..."
"Then don't leave any traces." Empress Xu was much more decisive than Yan Xianzhi, "If arrangements for dead men fail, there is no need to leave any survivors alive."
Yan Xianzhi seemed to be pushed away by Empress Xu, and whatever she said was what she said.
"okay, I get it."
On the other side, Yan Fuguang and Jiang Feng were sitting on horses, talking while leading the team forward.
After this battle, Jiang Feng admired Yan Fuguang so much that he fell to the ground. He is a military commander who likes to speak with strength. He admires whoever is brave on the battlefield. There is no doubt that Yan Fuguang conquered his heart.
He saw with his own eyes how Yan Fuguang killed the enemy with his own hands, and how he commanded large troops to win the war with various unexpected strategies. This was more convincing than the compliments he heard from others.
"Your Majesty is brave and fearless, I will admire you!"
Yan Fuguang had tanned a lot on the battlefield, but his brows became more and more unruly. His left arm was wounded on the battlefield. After being simply bandaged, he immediately set off on his way back to the capital, so he had to hold the reins with one hand.
Hearing this, his expression remained calm and he raised an eyebrow: "That's ridiculous."
There was no time to gossip on the battlefield, so Jiang Feng finally came across this rare opportunity, and he didn't want Yan Fuguang to think that his outspoken praise was just flattery.
He said anxiously: "What the general said is serious——"
Halfway through his words, a sharp arrow passed by his ear.
