Wang Huaiqing wanted to make Mu Lixin his own, but he couldn't find the right person.
Just when he was feeling troubled by this, the matter of Princess Cloud was imminent.
Back at Prince Xiao's mansion, Princess Yun Duo had already called in her trusted aides to stay by her side. Seeing Wang Huaiqing, she asked directly, "Have you asked the emperor? What did he say?"
Wang Huaiqing said, "My uncle said that since you insist on leaving, the Great Wei must make compensation. He will discuss this with the ministers at tomorrow morning's court, and asked me to bring you to the palace at noon tomorrow to hear your opinion."
Princess Yun Duo was skeptical: "Have you told the emperor that I want 500,000 taels?"
Wang Huaiqing said, "I said that the emperor didn't express his opinion immediately. But I think he would definitely agree, otherwise he wouldn't have summoned all the ministers to discuss it."
Princess Cloud asked suspiciously, "What if he changes his mind tomorrow?"
Wang Huaiqing said unhappily, "He is the emperor, how could he go back on his word?"
"Besides, 500,000 taels is nothing to the Great Wei."
Princess Yun Duo glanced at her confidants after hearing this. They had no other ideas at the moment, so they could only wait for the Wei royal family to come up with a compensation plan first. If they were not satisfied, they would try to find a way to fight for it.
So he nodded to Princess Cloud, signaling her not to worry.
Princess Yun Duo saw this and said, "Okay, I'll wait another day."
After Wang Huaiqing comforted Princess Yun Duo, he turned around and went to the villa where Su Yingyue lived.
It turned out that Su Yingyue was not there, she had gone out to buy jewelry.
Lianyun was a little afraid of Wang Huaiqing, so she didn't dare to be negligent when she saw him coming. She just answered whatever he asked.
Wang Huaiqing asked curiously, "Where does she get the money to buy things all day? Did the Su family give it to her?"
Lianyun said: "No, it's Madam's private money."
Wang Huaiqing didn't know that Su Yingyue's dowry had been taken back by the Su family a long time ago. He thought it was Su Yingyue's dowry, so he didn't ask any further questions.
But he wanted to wait for Su Yingyue to come back, so he said to Lianyun: "You ask someone to look for her. I'll wait here. If there's anything important, find her."
Lianyun said, "This servant needs to look after the young master. Madam usually doesn't stay too late and will be back soon."
When Wang Huaiqing heard the news about his son, he couldn't help but walk into the room.
Lianyun knew that he was the biological father of the child, so she was not on guard against him. She said, "Then please sit here for a while, my lord. I will go to the gatehouse and find a maid to go out and check the streets."
Wang Huaiqing waved his hand and waited until Lianyun left before he went to the bedside.
The child was sleeping soundly, looking so innocent and harmless.
The afternoon sun shining through the window made him feel a little uncomfortable, but the child seemed to enjoy it.
Wang Huaiqing completely dispelled his doubts, poked the child's cheek with a smile and said, "You scared Daddy quite a bit last night."
"You were the one talking last night, weren't you? Was it you?"
"You little brat, do you know who I am? I'm your father."
"When you grow up, don't be like your mother, who is short-sighted and has no idea how to plan for the future."
"She's in the mood to go shopping with a kid as young as you? She's probably thinking about how to seduce Xiao Qingyi and buy her clothes and jewelry, right?"
Chi Feng: [……] Your guess is quite accurate. Isn’t it just buying clothes and jewelry to create a better chance encounter with Xiao Qingyi?
But Chi Feng no longer acted rashly. He just opened his eyes and licked his lips, looking innocent and cute.
Seeing this, Wang Huaiqing couldn't help but talk about his own worries again.
"The Emperor has ordered Mu Lixin to come to the capital tomorrow, and I have tonight to prepare. But I haven't decided who to replace Mu Lixin."
"After all, the person we're looking for must be familiar with military laws and regulations and can't be exposed, otherwise all our efforts will be wasted."
Chi Feng endured for a moment, but still didn't say anything.
Wang Huaiqing continued, "But this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity cannot be missed. If it really doesn't work out, I'll have to ask the guards around me to take over. As long as Master Zhang doesn't see through it, everything will be fine."
Chi Feng couldn't bear it any longer and said immediately, "Dad, you can't let the guards go. Zhang Tianshi will definitely find out."
Wang Huaiqing was petrified and stunned.
The voice rang out again: "Dad, don't be afraid. I won't harm you. I wasn't supposed to be in this world, but was born due to some chance. Therefore, I know things that ordinary people don't."
Lin Yue is currently accumulating so-called merit. Once she succeeds, it will be extremely disadvantageous to you. What you need to do is become the emperor before she succeeds, completely ending her ambition.
Wang Huaiqing hesitated and asked, "So is she a human or a monster?"
Chi Feng: [He is a human, but not from this world]
Wang Huaiqing breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he was a human being, that would be good. If he couldn't defeat a human being, then why would he be the emperor?
Wang Huaiqing suddenly gained confidence and said, "You shouldn't have been born originally. It was because Lin Yue came that you were able to be born?"
Chi Feng: [She has her reasons, but I am your child, I will only help you.]
Wang Huaiqing said, "Then I understand. If you know anything else, you might as well tell me all at once."
Chi Feng said: [Go find someone who belongs to Xu Changhong. He also wants to overthrow the royal family and will definitely help you.]
【As for my mother, you can’t harm her】
Wang Huaiqing said: "I didn't want to harm her, I just wanted to change her identity?"
"What do you think of the identity of Cloud Princess?"
Chifeng Dao: [According to your destiny, you cannot learn these unorthodox methods, as they will affect your fortune.]
Wang Huaiqing's heart sank, and he said unhappily, "According to the destiny, Lin Yue shouldn't have appeared. Since everything is out of place, I just want to protect myself. How can it affect my fortune?"
Chi Feng remained silent. There is a huge difference between passively accepting and actively asking for something.
The former has no intention of harming others, while the latter has the intention of plundering.
It's exactly the opposite of the luck of picking up a bargain.
But facing Wang Huaiqing's questioning, Chi Feng also knew that things had changed and could no longer be explained by common sense, so he said: [If it was just for self-protection, then it wouldn't be...]
But after these words were spoken, both father and son fell into silence.
Obviously, they did not use this power to protect themselves.
They even persecuted important officials of the court, and the consequences were negligible.
…
In the evening, Zhang Tianshi came to the camp outside the city at the emperor's instruction.
When Mu Lixin saw him, he was completely bewildered. It wasn't until Zhang Tianshi explained his intentions that Mu Lixin suddenly realized, "Why is there another one?"
Zhang Tianshi asked, "Another one? Is there anyone coming from the front?"
Mu Lixin said, explaining, "No, I just didn't expect that the Heavenly Master would come in person."
Zhang Tianshi said, "This concerns your safety, and the Emperor is very concerned about it. General Mu, you must be careful. You must not give the evil spirits any opportunity to take advantage tonight."
Mu Lixin said, "I understand, don't worry, Master."
Seeing that he had listened carefully, Zhang Tianshi left.
But not long after he left, Mu Lixin returned to the account and fell into deep thought while looking at the letter in his hand.
