Ning Huayue was left in Fengyi Palace to attend to her illness.
This time she finally understood what it meant to be on pins and needles.
"Is it possible that Yue'er doesn't want to stay with her aunt?" Queen Xu asked, looking at Ning Hua Yue's distraught look.
Ning Huayue suddenly came back to her senses and twitched her lips: "Yue'er didn't mean that..."
She scolded Lu Qing and Chen Qingzi in her heart. Before she came, she was afraid of being left here to wait for her illness, so she brought them together. Unexpectedly, the Crown Princess helped them and trapped herself in Empress Xu. before.
Empress Xu didn't care whether she was sincere or not. If the person stayed, she would have a chance.
But she doesn't have the energy at the moment, "It's okay, I want to go to bed. Auntie will take you to live in the side hall. Auntie will be troublesome for Yue'er these days."
The palace servants helped Queen Xu lie down. Ning Huayue moved her fingers, but her feet seemed to be frozen, but she did not step forward to help.
It's better now, there is no Ning Huayue in the house, and the air is much fresher.
Lu Qing wrote back to Yan Fuguang, telling him that the children were fine and that he should not worry about them outside, but to pay attention to his health and return home as soon as possible.
Once the letter was sent, she ignored it. No matter how much she worried, she couldn't do anything, and Yan Fuguang would not leak court affairs indiscriminately.
At this time, the panicked one should be Emperor Xihe in the palace.
He slept on the dragon bed, and Yan Changfeng knelt in front of the bed and listened to his instructions.
"Immediately send someone to Xili City to assist Fuguang, and also order the troops near Xili to wait for Fuguang's dispatch."
"Yes, I know." Yan Changfeng paused and clenched his hands hanging by his side, "There is another thing. The third brother asked my father, how to deal with the officials who colluded with the Lan clan? Do you want more? Xili City?"
He also read Yan Fuguang's letter and felt sad about the truth stated above.
"Cough cough cough -" Emperor Xihe coughed violently.
Xili City, one hundred and eight thousand miles away from the capital, has been coveted by barbarians since ancient times. However, due to its geographical location, the rulers of Dayan have always been unwilling to give up this place.
In the past, when the country was strong, the imperial court sent many officials to educate the local people. However, before seeing much success, Dayan began to decline. The imperial court did not take care of Xili. Over time, this place slowly changed from everyone's favor. Faded from sight.
In the past few years, the treasury was extremely empty, expenses were reduced in various ways, and war broke out in the northwest, so Emperor Xihe simply ignored Xili, who was silent and treasonous.
Now, Emperor Xihe can be said to have regrets.
"Ahem, cough, cough, you ask Fuguang to find all the traitors and kill them! As for Xili, it is our country of Dayan, why not?!"
Yan Changfeng has always been a good-tempered person, but now he was angry.
"Yes." He uttered one word coldly, asked the eunuch to take care of Emperor Xihe, and went out by himself.
In Xili City, Yan Qinghuai was in a mess, with a little blood on his face and neck. He followed Yan Fuguang's instructions and killed all those who refused to repent.
"Hiss—" His arm ached, and to this day, he could hardly remember how many people he had chopped off their heads.
Yan Qinghuai rubbed his arms and stretched his neck to read the letter in Yan Fuguang's hand: "Third brother, second brother, what does the letter say?"
Yan Fuguang sneered and put the letter into Yan Qinghuai's hand: "What should I do? I will do whatever I say?"
Emperor Xihe could not be counted on. Yan Changfeng also said in the letter that Yan Fuguang should make his own decision.
Yan Qinghuai was stunned: "Then what do you want to do?"
Yan Fuguang raised the corners of his lips coldly: "That Xizuo is the Lan tribe. They will definitely choose the right time to launch an attack on Dayan. What we have to do is to use those Xili officials who are willing to take advantage of the situation. , let them guide the Lan people to start from Xili."
When the Lan people come over, it will be a big deal.
Yan Qinghuai agreed. There is no better way than this now.
He quickly found two people who were reasonably conscientious.
"Third brother, these two people just begged me to give them a chance to serve their crimes. Do you think you can use them?"
These two people do not have high official positions, but they are very courageous. They have met many people from the Lan tribe, and they have a handle on them.
A man named Kong Xing knelt on the ground crying, with tears streaming down his face. He raised his hands and swore: "My lord, please forgive me. Wei Chen was really forced. Even Wei Chen, a ninth-grade sesame official, is not the same as the Lan tribe." As long as you look up to me, it won’t be my turn to do anything harmful to God…”
Yan Fuguang casually wiped the blood on the blade with a handkerchief: "Tell me the important point."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Kong Xing wiped his face roughly, rolled his eyes and said, "The Holy Emperor is staying in Lintucheng. The Lan people got the news from insiders in the imperial court. If you can sneak in, there are some People help.”
There is a mole in the court.
"Do you know who that person is?"
Kong Xing shook his head vigorously: "I don't know, I just heard that! I really don't know!"
Seeing that his expression did not seem to be hypocritical, Yan Fuguang let him go for the time being, but the knife in his hand was still glowing with cold light. Without Yan Fuguang asking more questions, Kong Xing continued to explain: "Although I don't know who is in the imperial court and the Lan people No response, but I can contact most of the Lan people."
This is what he does specifically. Now that his boss is dead, he doesn't want to follow that short-lived stingy ghost to the underworld.
Kong Xing was a smart man, and Yan Fuguang saw his value.
Unable to afford any time delay, Yan Fuguang turned his head and looked at Liang Fei: "His family is not in Xili?"
Liang Fei held the book and flipped through it: "Back to the prince, he is from Lintu, and he has a wife, children and mother at home."
Such people have shortcomings and are better able to exploit them.
Kong Xing had a lot of cold sweat on his back: "I will definitely cooperate with you fully and not be mean-spirited!"
Yan Fuguang said "hmm" softly, raised his hand and said, "Liang Fei, look at him and see how much information you can get out of the Lan tribe."
Liang Fei dragged Kong Xing away. In the messy study room, Kong Xing was pressed down on his seat.
boom--
Liang Fei smashed the inkstone on the table, picked up a piece of ink from the ground, and impatiently added water to grind the ink.
Kong Xing rolled his little eyes and said with a flattering smile: "Brother the guard, I..."
"Don't talk too much. I advise you to write a letter quickly. Killing you is as easy as killing a chicken. If you don't want to die, just work hard!"
Since coming to Xili, Liang Fei, who followed Yan Fuguang, had rarely closed his eyes. At this time, his resentment was almost rising to the sky.
Kong Xing was frightened and hurriedly wrote a letter and sent it according to the previous contact information, waiting for a reply from the Lan tribe.
Yan Fuguang suppressed the rumors in Xili City, and a few days later, the Lan tribe responded to Kong Xing's letter.
"What did they say?"
Kong Xing bowed down and answered honestly: "Back to your lord, I found between the lines of their words that they are probably going to start taking action."
"Most likely?" Yan Fuguang clasped the table, "I think you probably don't want your head anymore."
Kong Xing was so frightened that he said, "Wait a minute! I saw in another letter that they have already made a plan and are currently leaning towards entering Dayan from Xili!"
Yan Fuguang leaned back and half leaned on the chair.
Attack from Xili? Just what he wanted.
