After finishing speaking, Situ Yao turned his gaze to the Prime Minister again: "Prime Minister, what do you think?"
He deliberately asked the prime minister to let him know that even without General Xu Mao, the border could still be kept safe.
His action undoubtedly let the prime minister know his own strengths and weaknesses and told him not to think too much.
The Prime Minister understood Situ Yao's intention and immediately stepped forward to say, "Your Majesty has a keen eye for talent. This is a great blessing for our country."
However, Situ Yao snorted coldly: "This is a great blessing for the country. I remember that before the expedition, you all advised me not to appoint this general."
Situ Yao has not forgotten how these people opposed him when he chose Chu Yunshan as General Dingfeng.
His words clearly showed no respect for the Prime Minister, but even so, the Prime Minister could only let it go: "Your Majesty, we are naturally inferior to you."
Taking advantage of this incident, Situ Yao suppressed the Prime Minister in other matters, with the purpose of making the Prime Minister understand that he was not someone he could easily control.
However, the Prime Minister was an old fox after all, and he could only restrain himself a little in suppressing Situ Yao, but his mind was full of calculations.
In the harem, Chu Meng was naturally very happy when she knew that her father had won the battle.
"That's great. Father has had a great start. If this momentum can continue, I think he will be back soon." Chu Meng wanted his father to come back after all, so he thought about it.
Meanwhile, the Prime Minister did not return home after the morning court session. Before leaving the palace, he found a eunuch and slipped some silver into his sleeve. "Please, eunuch, please help me call out Lady Lin Xiaoxiang and tell her that her father wants to see him."
The eunuch weighed the extra silver in his sleeve and immediately smiled: "Prime Minister, why are you so polite? If you need anything, just give me an order. I will go and call Madam Lin for you."
After saying this, the eunuch scurried into the harem.
After a while, Lin Xiaoxiang appeared in front of the prime minister stealthily.
"Father, what's the matter that requires you to call me out secretly?" Lin Xiaoxiang was a little unhappy. She was a concubine in the harem and her father was the prime minister. He could obviously go to the harem to visit her openly, so why did he have to do such a trick?
However, no matter how unhappy she was, she didn't dare to complain to the prime minister, so she had to ask him what was the matter.
The Prime Minister also knew that doing so might make Lin Xiaoxiang unhappy, but some things had to be done away from the eyes and ears of the harem.
Especially today, I am still being suppressed by the emperor, so there are some things that I must not let the emperor know.
"You have been in the palace for some time, and your sister has been here even longer. Do you two have any reactions?" As he spoke, the prime minister looked at his daughter's belly.
After hearing her father's words and seeing his actions, how could Lin Xiaoxiang not know what her father meant? However, she was a girl after all, and her face turned red when her father said that.
"Father, I have only been in the palace for a short time, so it's nothing." Lin Xiaoxiang said hesitantly and embarrassedly.
However, the prime minister did not think so much. Thinking of Situ Yao's suppression of him in the court, he knew that even if he had two daughters in the harem, they would not be of much help to him.
But if his daughter was the queen, the emperor's attitude towards him would naturally be different.
Thinking of this, the Prime Minister said to Lin Xiaoxiang, "You two sisters have been in the palace for so long. During this time, the Queen has been pregnant with the dragon seed. This is your opportunity. If you two sisters can have a child, I will definitely help you ascend to the throne."
What, the throne? It must be said that Lin Xiaoxiang was moved by what her father said. At the beginning, her mother told her father that Lin Xiangru had the fate of a noble concubine, so she tried her best to send Lin Xiangru to the palace.
And now, her father said that as long as her two sisters were pregnant, he would help her ascend to the throne. That was the queen's daughter, so how could Lin Xiaoxiang not be tempted?
"Don't worry, father. I will do my best to add some meat to your belly." Suppressing the joy in her heart, Lin Xiaoxiang said to the prime minister.
All of this was an idea the Prime Minister had had for a long time, but he had given up on it because everything had gone smoothly before. Now that Situ Yao was suppressing him, he had to think of this idea again.
After getting her father's promise, Lin Xiaoxiang returned to the palace happily. However, after returning, she realized that what her father said was simple, but the emperor never came to her, so how could she get pregnant with a dragon seed.
What should I do? Lin Xiaoxiang couldn't help but sigh. Situ Yao didn't like me at all. If he didn't come to me, how could he have more children out of thin air?
Even his current position was obtained because of Fu Liu's help and his scheme against the emperor. Since then, Situ Yao has never looked at Lin Xiaoxiang straight in the eye, and he doesn't even know whether she is round or flat.
By the way, Fu Liu, how could I have forgotten her? Wasn’t it because of Fu Liu that I was able to stay in the palace?
Thinking of Fu Liu, Lin Xiaoxiang's face was filled with smile again. Before she could even sit down, she happily went to Fu Liu.
When she arrived at Fu Liu's place, Lin Xiaoxiang finally became more cautious. Even though the two of them used to call each other sister and younger sister affectionately, in the end, they still shared the same husband.
If Fu Liu helps, Lin Xiaoxiang will naturally call her sister affectionately, but if she doesn't help, Lin Xiaoxiang will naturally turn against her.
It’s no wonder that Lin Xiaoxiang is like this. It’s just that everyone has their own plans and their own destiny.
So, when Lin Xiaoxiang arrived, she just said that she missed the emperor and asked Fu Liu to help her knock the emperor unconscious and send him over. However, because Lin Xiaoxiang heard what her father said, she was somewhat proud and accidentally said that it would be best to succeed in one go and have a son.
"So, you want a child." After hearing this, Fu Liu knew that Lin Xiaoxiang was definitely not as simple as she said on the surface. However, since Lin Xiaoxiang didn't say anything, she didn't want to arouse Lin Xiaoxiang's suspicion, so she naturally didn't ask too much and could only joke.
Originally, Lin Xiaoxiang let the cat out of the bag and was shocked, fearing that Fu Liu would discover her evil ambitions, but in the end, she was teased by Fu Liu like this.
At that moment, he pretended to be unhappy and said, "You know, I can't get the Holy Heart, and I'm afraid that my life will be like this. If I can have a child to accompany me, it would be the best."
