Xiang Fei reluctantly agreed, and Yuan Fei continued, "Although it didn't work this time, there won't be any accidents next time."
"Brother, have you arranged everything?"
Concubine Yuan smiled with a bit of pride: "The people blocking our way now are Su Chenyu and Li Liyanqing. As long as these two threats are gone, even the Imperial Concubine won't be anything to be afraid of."
As she spoke, Concubine Yuan slowly placed her hand on Concubine Xiang's belly: "If you can have another child, then our plan can be completed faster."
Xiang Fei frowned: "I don't want to have a child for him."
Concubine Yuan sighed: "Since it has come to this, we can only continue to move forward."
Concubine Xiang threw herself into Concubine Yuan's arms and said, "Sister, can we still leave after we get married?"
"Of course, we will go home together..."
Since Emperor Jing of Wei issued the edict, the entire capital seemed to have calmed down a little, until the news from the northwest completely broke the apparent tranquility of the capital.
The King of Beirong somehow learned of Rong Ruo's death, and mobilized the entire country to send troops to attack the northwest to avenge Rong Ruo.
Li Liyuan led his soldiers in a desperate fight to defend the Northwest, but the situation in the Northwest is now very tense, and Li Liyuan is asking for help this time.
However, upon hearing the news, many ministers in the court felt that they should first negotiate peace with the Northern Rong, as there would be no benefit in conquering Tang.
Moreover, Dayu’s treasury is empty and I’m afraid it can’t withstand this.
However, the Northern Rong attacked fiercely and did not even give the option of peace talks. This posture was simply to destroy Dayu. Helplessly, Emperor Jing of Wei could only reluctantly send troops to support the northwest.
However, when it came to appointing the commander-in-chief, Emperor Jing of Wei was in trouble. Li Muyuan and Li Mucheng requested to go to the battlefield, but were both rejected by Emperor Jing of Wei.
At this time, Emperor Jing of Wei was still thinking about checks and balances. The Li family already controlled the military forces on the border. If the two brothers took this opportunity to get involved in the northwest, Dayu would really be a trap for the Li family.
At the last moment, it was Li Li Yan Qing who stood up and said that he was willing to lead his troops to the northwest. Su Chenyu also wanted to go to the northwest with Li Li Yan Qing.
When Emperor Jing of Wei saw the two men stand up, he was almost immediately interested. After handing them the military tokens, he let them set off.
Su Chenyu and Li Yanqing walked out of the palace. Looking at the military token in her hand, Su Chenyu always felt that something was wrong. It seemed that Emperor Wei Jing agreed too readily, as if he had been waiting for them.
It was not until the day when they led the troops to the northwest that Su Chenyu and Li Li Yanqing left the city and saw the soldiers they were going to lead to the northwest. At a glance, there were few young and middle-aged men, and most of them were old, weak, sick and disabled.
Su Chenyu looked at Lou Zhonghai and said, "Minister Lou specially selected these soldiers for us. He must have put a lot of thought into it, right?"
The man in the building replied respectfully: "Princess, you are not in charge of the Ministry of War, so you don't know the current military strength of Dayu. These 10,000 soldiers and these food and grass were all raised by me with all my efforts."
Fan Hengyu chimed in, "Princess, Prince Consort, the northwest is the stronghold of the Duke of Zhenguo, and he should be very familiar with it. With your support, I think there won't be any problems. I will be in the capital now, waiting for news of the great victory in the northwest."
Lou Zhonghai and Fan Heng were trying to hinder Su Chenyu and Li Liyanqing in terms of military strength. Su Chenyu really wanted to draw her sword and chop off Fan Heng's head on the spot, but she knew that if she did so, many incidents would arise, and she was afraid that she would not be able to make it to the northwest.
"Marquis Wuling and Minister Lou are really of the same mind." Su Chenyu glanced at Jian Suining who had been standing beside her, "I'll have to trouble Prime Minister Jian to take care of the affairs in the capital."
Jian Suining understood the hidden meaning of Su Chenyu's words. If something unexpected really happened in the northwest, he would directly protect the two generals of the Li family and lead troops to the northwest for support.
Su Chenyu naturally didn't trust Emperor Jing of Wei, and even less trusted Lou Zhonghai and Fan Heng, so she prepared for the worst.
Jian Suining agreed: "Princess, rest assured, I will do my best!"
