Chu Li smiled and sat down: "I'm sorry to make you laugh, Third Imperial Concubine. I don't understand these things. It's still up to Concubine Xin to make the decision."
"Thank you, Miss, for being modest. If you don't understand, how can you make the Regent obsessed with you?"
Lu Zhaoyang gently stroked his lower abdomen, looking kind and peaceful.
Chu Minghua looked at Chu Li, raised his eyes slightly with a bit of criticism, and sneered:
"Thank you, Miss!"
She had tried to show her goodwill to the Regent many times, but she couldn't even step into the Regent's Palace.
Just when everyone was speculating that the Regent was a homosexual, he was actually obsessed with the daughter of a general.
At first glance, there is nothing good about Xie Wanyue.
Chu Li touched his face and said, "My lord, you are too kind. I am just pretty, nothing to mention, nothing to mention."
Chu Minghua was stunned.
Is she praising her?
She doesn't understand good or bad words?
"you……"
"Look at that young lady. She is the daughter of the judge of the Hanlin Academy. She is dignified and elegant. What do you think of her?" Concubine Xin interrupted the two and pointed at the noble lady who was standing beside the rockery and looking at the lotus flowers.
Concubine Wen looked at it:
"Looks like a well-behaved kid."
Chu Minghua said: "The emperor has an active temperament. This person is too quiet. I'm afraid he will be a little bored."
Xin Fei pondered for a moment, thought it made sense, and pointed to another one:
"She is the daughter of the Supreme Court Justice. I heard that she is only sixteen years old this year, but she has already helped her father solve cases. She is extremely intelligent, not inferior to men."
Chu Minghua glanced at it and said critically:
"The Emperor is selecting concubines, not judging cases. Does Empress Xin feel comfortable letting a woman who talks all the time and judges criminals stay by the Emperor's side?"
"this……"
There is some truth to that.
"The daughter of General Xuanwu."
"With Wu at her disposal, she has lost the gentleness and softness that a woman should have. I'm afraid she will bully the emperor," said Chu Minghua.
Concubine Xin picked several in a row, but they were all denied by Chu Minghua.
Her father is King Xiaoyao, who is of the same generation as the Emperor of Chu and the Regent. The Queen Mother is her great-grandmother. She is of the same generation as the Emperor. She has a strong background and speaks directly, so she doesn't even take Concubine Xin seriously.
Chu Minghua said:
"These people are all average. If it were me, I'd choose someone like Miss Xie."
Chu Li paused slightly while drinking tea.
"I wonder if Miss Xie has any sisters?"
Chu Li remained calm: "If possible, I also want a few sisters, it will be more lively with more people."
"That's such a shame,"
She joked:
"However, it doesn't matter if these people don't like me. I heard that with the recent wars, many officials and wealthy businessmen have flocked to the imperial capital with their families. There are so many beautiful young women like mushrooms after rain. You can take your time to choose."
Concubine Xin was slightly startled: "What war?"
"Don't you know, Empress Xin? There's a war going on in the south. Great Chu has lost four cities in a row, and General Qin has been captured!"
Snap!
The cup lid fell, splashing tea, startling Chu Li so much that his hands trembled and he almost knocked over the cup.
Chu Minghua turned his head and looked over:
"Miss Xie, what happened?"
Chu Li's face turned pale, but he pretended to be calm: "General Qin was with the garrison of Great Chu, how could he be captured? The military strength of our Great Chu is no worse than that of the Southern Barbarians."
Chu Minghua said:
"That being said, war is a place where there are give and take, winners and losers. It's a pity that General Qin is so young and has to die on the battlefield."
Tsk tsk.
Shaked his head.
"pity."
Chu Li clenched the teacup tightly, his knuckles tightening and loosening, and the uneasiness in his heart could no longer be hidden.
Without waiting for three or four seconds, he put down the teacup and stood up and said:
"Empress Xin, Empress Wen, I suddenly remembered that I have something important to do at home, so I will take my leave first."
Concubine Xin was about to ask Chu Li to stay, but Chu Li's feet were so fast that he left in a hurry.
"How can this kid just run away like that? He... he ran so fast that I couldn't stop him even if I called him."
Chu Minghua curled his lips.
Took a sip of tea.
Tsk.
It smells really good.
After sitting for a while, he found an excuse to go out for a walk. A young eunuch hiding in the dark came over with his head lowered to report:
"Princess, Miss Xie had just left the palace not long ago, and the Regent received the news and went after her."
"oh?"
As expected.
My father was right. Xie Wanyue is Chu Li. Otherwise, why would she be so worried when she heard the news that something happened to General Qin?
"Go tell my father that I have sent Chu Li away. The Regent has also left the capital. Commander Xiao has also gone to war. The Emperor's right-hand men have all been sent away. He is now nothing but a figurehead! There is nothing to fear!"
"yes!"
Chu Minghua plucked a flower and twisted the thin stem, with a meaningful look in his eyes.
Among the nine princes, any one of them is better than the eighth prince.
But the most disappointing, playful and lazy eighth prince ascended the throne as emperor!
Her father actually wanted her to marry Chu Aotian.
She doesn't want to!
Chu Aotian is just a puppet emperor, and the real person in power behind the scenes is the regent.
Once her father has sidelined Chu Aotian and seized power, she can control the regent at will.
Only a man like Chu Dichi, who is cold, arrogant, handsome and handsome, is worthy of her!
But the Regent actually likes Chu Li...
What's so good about Chu Li?
"Wait." She suddenly said, "Chu Li left the capital this time without anyone by her side, which is a good time to leave. Send a group of assassins in secret and make sure she never comes back!"
Break off the branches and crush them with one foot.
The throne belongs to my father.
The regent is hers.
Whoever dares to rob will die!
-
Mohuai Prefecture.
It took two days for the secret letter to arrive in Mohuai Prefecture from the imperial capital by carrier pigeon. When Chu Yeli saw its content, he laughed out loud.
Chu Li is here!
Hahaha!
Tuoba Mingyue looked at him: "Brother Yeli, why are you so happy?"
Chu Yeli crumpled up the note: "Xiao Jiu and the Regent both came to Mo Huaizhou, but Xiao Jiu was in front and the Regent was behind, they were not together."
She was worried about Qin Muyu, and rushed to Mohuai Prefecture in a hurry, without even having time to bring anyone with her.
Qin Muyu is indeed a useful chess piece.
Looking at the military deployment map on the sand map, a plan quickly formed in my mind:
"We will secretly cross the river and go to Guangling City on the other side of the Mohuai River to pick up Xiaojiu and block the Regent. Then we will cross the river in the opposite direction from Guangling City and fight back!"
Tuoba Mingyue's heart tightened, and he pointed at Shatu and said:
"This is too risky!"
"We are still three cities away from the Mohuai River. Each of these three cities has at least 100,000 troops stationed there."
Chu Yeli said:
"It is precisely because they have stationed their troops in full armor and are on guard against us that we want to kill them by surprise and attack them when they are unprepared."
He moved the flag and placed it in another location on the sand map:
"If we change our strategy and take a detour across the river and get behind them, we can attack them from both sides and take down these three cities at once!"
As long as we take over the Mohuai Bridge, we will be halfway won.
The other half, just need to wait for the internal strife in Da Chu, Chu Aotian's power will be sidelined, and King Xiaoyao will seize power, then the internal affairs of Da Chu can be completely defeated.
Tuoba Mingyue was shocked.
Although Brother Ye Li has a big appetite, nothing is impossible. What's more, she has a witch army in her hands.
If she conquers Da Chu, she will become the first empress to expand the territory of Nanman!
“Someone come!”
"Gather all the lieutenants to discuss this matter in secret. There must be no mistakes!"
