Zheng Qing dismounted, bowed to Mo Qingrui, and immediately walked towards Mo Yunhan.
Her eyes were bright and sparkling, full of excitement.
"Yun Han, the border weapons reform is about to be implemented. Everyone in the Ministry of War is waiting for you to discuss the relevant regulations. Let's go over there quickly."
He was a military general, and he understood best how important this matter was to all the soldiers who were guarding the border.
How could I not be happy?
Mo Yunhan nodded.
"Okay, let's go."
After saying that, he turned around and glanced at Ye Qi, "Go and do what I told you to do as soon as possible."
Ye Qi hurriedly responded.
"yes!"
...
Qi Huang returned to his residence.
His complexion was still somewhat unpleasant.
Jiang Hengsong approached, holding the pills he had just refined.
"Your body hasn't recovered yet, and you're already causing trouble. Be careful, even if you can manage to create a clone, you'll collapse first."
Qi Huang took the pills and ate two of them.
Only then did I feel some comfort in my dantian.
"Master, I'm fine. Last night's mission didn't go well; we didn't find any clues about the Seven-Colored Phoenix Grass."
“Then let’s not look for it.” Jiang Hengsong pulled her to sit down. “The headquarters is too far from here. By the time you travel there and come back, the wedding will have already been completed, and we won’t need the phoenix grass anymore.”
Qi Huang nodded.
“Master is right, so I plan to go to the capital to reseal my clone.”
Jiang Hengsong was stunned.
"You...you're going to see Mo Yunhan?"
Qi Huang's eyes flickered, but there was no significant change in his expression.
"Master, I'm going to see Jiang Qingwan."
"Wan'er, there are some things you don't have to be so insistent on..."
Jiang Hengsong wanted to persuade her, but Qi Huang had already stood up.
"I'm hungry, Master. I'll go and cook for you."
Jiang Hengsong looked at her thin back and stomped his feet in heartache.
He had already used up the last bit of the Rootless Water when he created a clone. He didn't know what the future held, but he understood Jiang Qingwan's personality.
Once a decision is made, nothing can change it.
No, he has to go to the great tomb that seals the Dark Demon Clan and find a way to get some more Rootless Water.
He looked up at the sky.
Muttering to himself,
"Yan'er, I have wronged you in this life. I will never let your son and my disciple suffer the pain of separation that you and I have endured."
What national hatred or family feud?
He was a drifter in this world, like a piece of duckweed, and didn't care at all.
...
In the residence of Right Chancellor He Cheng,
The palace maid who delivered the message was aloof and arrogant.
"Don't keep the Imperial Concubine waiting. Please, Madam and Miss, set off as soon as possible."
Madam He looked troubled.
“My lady, it is not that I am disobeying Your Majesty’s command, but my daughter is going to pay a visit to the Princess’s residence today. The invitation from the Princess’s residence arrived yesterday. It would be better if I went alone, so as not to keep the Imperial Concubine waiting.”
The palace maid coldly rebuked him.
"The Empress wants to see both of you; how can you go alone?"
But since it concerned the eldest princess, she dared not disobey.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "The banquet can't last all day, so let's go to the palace immediately after it ends to have a talk, without any delay."
After saying that, he turned and left.
After her figure disappeared outside the mansion gate, He Cheng emerged from the shadows.
His honest face was full of worry.
"The Imperial Concubine would never invite you into the palace for no reason, and she even insisted on bringing Xiu'er with her. It's probably for the sake of the Sixth Prince."
Madam He also frowned.
"His Highness the Sixth Prince hasn't even had his coming-of-age ceremony yet, is Your Highness in such a hurry?"
He Cheng sighed, "Of course she's anxious. The situation in the court changes every day, and no one can guarantee what will happen tomorrow. Look at the Second Prince and the Third Prince; before the incident, they were both incredibly powerful. And the Fourth Prince, who was just promoted to a Seven-Bead Prince, was immediately sent to the border. The Emperor's thoughts are hard to fathom. Now, who knows what will become of Consort Wan and the Sixth Prince? We absolutely cannot let Xiu'er get involved with them. Otherwise, our whole family will never have a peaceful day again."
Madam He was well aware of Consort Wan's intentions.
"My lord, if Consort Wan has requested an imperial decree, are we supposed to disobey it?"
He Cheng had always hated the infighting and power struggles in the court, and he would stay as far away from them as possible.
But now, there's no escaping it.
"Madam, please arrange a marriage for Xiu'er as soon as possible. I don't need a prominent family or someone with ambitions for advancement. As long as it's a wealthy family that can ensure our daughter has enough to eat and wear, that will suffice."
Mrs. He was somewhat displeased.
“My lord, Xiu’er is our legitimate daughter. Her beauty is second to none in the capital, and her talent is also remarkable. Her skill in playing the zither has long been renowned throughout the capital. Even if she doesn’t become a princess or empress in the future, we can’t let her be wronged by a hasty engagement. Besides, don’t you know what Xiu’er is thinking?”
He Cheng glared angrily.
"She likes the Regent, are we just going to let her jump into a fire pit?"
Madam He also became anxious.
“What do you mean by jumping into a fire pit? The princes are all useless, but the regent is different. He is young and promising, and he may very well ascend the throne and become the new emperor of the Great Zhou.”
How dare you say such a thing!
He Cheng reached out to cover her mouth, but Madam He slapped it away.
“This is the truth, why can’t we say it? The reason the Princess is hosting this banquet today is because she looks down on the current Regent’s wife and wants to elect a new one. Xiu’er definitely has a chance to win.”
He Cheng shook his head repeatedly.
"A woman's view, truly a woman's view. The eldest princess is ambitious, and no one can see through her. Now that she has returned to the capital, the court will surely be thrown into turmoil again. Moreover, the emperor will never allow another dragon to hover overhead and command the country. I'm too lazy to argue with you. Just listen to me and arrange Xiu'er's marriage as soon as possible. If you wait any longer, you'll regret it."
