Lu Qing keeps meeting Xueer recently.
Once or twice is an accident, but so many times, it seems very unusual.
On this day, she met Xueer face to face on the way back from sending Brother Lan to Mengbi Zhai.
Lu Qing simply said hello as if nothing had happened and prepared to pass her by.
Unexpectedly, Xueer stopped her.
"Concubine Wei."
"What's up?"
Seeing her stop, Xueer hurriedly chased after her. After hitting a wall with Chen Qingzi, she didn't want to give up just like that. Why were everyone born as a maid? Lu Qing accidentally got the opportunity to get close to the prince, so she flew up a branch and got rid of her embarrassment.
Xue'er thought darkly that if she had been the one who shouted at Grandma Zhong five years ago, everything would have been different.
"Concubine Wei must know the true effect of Wangchenyou, right?"
Lu Qing didn't understand what she meant by these incomprehensible words, so he frowned and said, "I don't know."
Xueer looked like she was possessed by a demon: "You must know that in the whole family, you are the only one who has given birth to the prince's child."
She suspected that Lu Qing had already guessed Yan Fuguang's real purpose of burning Wangchenyou, so she secretly made a trick and got pregnant with the child.
Lu Qing thought it was ridiculous: "Wangchenyou is the incense that helps the prince sleep peacefully. You and I were working in Hemingyuan at that time, don't you know this?"
Xueer almost forgot about Wangchenyou if she didn't mention it.
She had also suspected it, but Yan Fuguang never mentioned it, so she never asked. Anyway, when she and Yan Fuguang were together, there would be no worries in the house.
Xueer insisted on making it clear: "An Mian? If it's really An Mian, why are you pregnant and others not pregnant?"
She thought that if she caught this secret, she would arouse everyone in the backyard to hate Lu Qing.
A ferocious smile hung on her face with high cheekbones. She was like a confused judge. Regardless of the evidence, she decided Lu Qing's crime based on only speculation: "You tampered with it!"
Lu Qing had an expression of "What are you talking about?": "I don't understand what Concubine Bai is saying. Why are the people next to me not pregnant? Ask them, ask the prince, how can I know?"
Moreover, even if there is something special about Wangchenyou, it is not her fault that others do not get pregnant and have children.
Xueer was so distraught that she soon made this "secret" known to everyone in the backyard.
Lu Qing became angry when she heard this: "Is she crazy?"
Spreading the news about Wangchenyou will only damage the reputation of Yan Fuguang and the entire Jin Palace. Now is a critical moment. Yan Fuguang is in trouble in the southwest, and Lu Qing cannot allow Xueer to cause trouble.
She immediately went to Yihongyuan, found Ning Huayue, and explained the situation.
"Whether what Concubine Bai said is true or false remains to be discussed, but if the princess ignores it and allows the rumors to spread, what will the emperor think of our prince?"
Ning Huayue was so angry just now that she was itching her teeth, but now she was awakened by Lu Qing.
At present, Emperor Xihe is already inclined to establish a prince. At such a critical juncture, there is no room for any mistakes.
She had just come out of the palace and understood that Queen Xu was determined to dethrone the crown prince again.
If Empress Xu catches Yan Fuguang and makes a big fuss, things will not be that simple.
"Okay, I understand, let someone bring Concubine Bai!"
Lu Qing breathed a sigh of relief and stepped aside.
Chen Qingzi heard the news and came here.
Xueer was led to the middle and knelt down. Chen Qingzi glanced at her lightly and said, "Concubine Bai went to my Yaoyueyuan a few days ago and told me about this matter, but I thought it was ridiculous, so I kept silent. "
"I thought that after I warned her, she would shut up. I didn't want her to make the mistake and try to stir up trouble."
In just a few sentences, Xueer was identified as the troublemaker.
Lu Qing added to the anger: "I also think that Concubine Bai is telling nonsense. Princess, let's see how to deal with her."
Ning Huayue is interested in Wangchenyou, but now is not the right time.
She deliberately spared Xue'er's life: "Lock up Concubine Bai. Rumors can shake people's hearts. Wait until you figure it out and come out when you realize you were wrong."
Xueer's eyes were deep and she was escorted away without much struggle.
Ning Huayue looked deeply at Lu Qing.
**
The war will begin in early March.
The transferred troops have been organized here, waiting for the Lan tribe to launch an attack.
All the treasonous officials in Xili City were punished, and now the whole say in Xili is in the hands of Yan Fuguang.
"Kong Xing, how many more days do the Lan people have to come?"
"Three days! The letter said three days! According to the plan, they will give me a signal when they arrive outside Xili City. We will go through a simple process and open the city gate for them to surrender."
"Well, if there is a mistake, I will kill you."
Kong Xing held his head in his hands and slept uneasily for several nights, fearing that when he woke up the next day, his head would be separated from his body.
Fortunately, God still favored him, and three days later, the Lan people really came to Xili City.
The army lined up inside the city, and once the city gate was closed, people outside had no idea what was going on inside.
Kong Xing looked at the signal coming from the distance. He excitedly led a group of people out of the city. After a simple fight, he led the troops of the Lan tribe into the city.
"Hahahaha! The Emperor of Dayan is fatuous and foolish. When we capture Dayan, we will definitely use Brother Kong and attach importance to Xili!"
"Defeat Dayan! Defeat Dayan!"
At the city gate, the Lan tribe troops shouted slogans aggressively. On the city wall, Yan Fuguang narrowed his eyes, raised his right hand, and said in a cold voice: "Close the city gate, shoot arrows!"
The sharp arrows, which were as dense as rain, penetrated the flesh and blood of the Lan tribe people and smashed open the bloody flowers.
They immediately understood that they had fallen into a trap!
But it was too late. Yan Fuguang gave an order, and Dayan's soldiers who had been waiting secretly rushed forward and fought hard.
The Lan tribe got Dayan's secrets and studied them in the tribe for several months. They came up with strategies to deal with Dayan's military tactics. They came with the hope of winning, but unexpectedly none of those strategies were used.
"Quickly decide, attack the Lan tribe's nest as soon as possible, and get back our army's defense plans and tactics!"
Yan Fuguang gave the order, and the soldiers became even more excited.
After the Lan tribe troops in the city were completely defeated, Yan Fuguang led a team of troops deep into the Lan tribe's lair.
After chasing for five days and five nights, the Lan tribe, which had coveted Dayan for a long time, fell apart, leaving only a small group of people leaving everything behind and fleeing into the distance.
The flames of war were temporarily extinguished, and the good news returned to the capital.
This war had been kept secret for fear of causing panic. Now that victory was coming, Emperor Xihe informed the courtiers of the truth.
The ministers praised Yan Fuguang's character and ability one after another, and once again invited him to be crown prince.
Emperor Xihe was driven by his high emotions, rubbed his palms on his knees, and breathed out as if he had made up his mind: "I..."
The courtiers waited with bated breath for Emperor Xihe to nod and agree to make Yan Fuguang the crown prince.
At this time, Emperor Xihe's personal eunuch hurriedly took small steps back to Emperor Xihe from the side door, and shouted in his ear in shock: "Your Majesty! It's not good, the Queen is in trouble!"
Queen Xu was seriously ill, and the imperial doctor said her situation was critical.
