Emperor Jing of Yan was writing, Prince Hui sitting beside him. A guard handed the letter to Emperor Jing. He opened it, scoffed, and snorted, "Xuan'er, come here! Something happened again in your Ninth Uncle's army today."
Ever since the Ninth Master delivered a poem from Prince Hui praising his father to Emperor Jing of Yan, Emperor Jing had begun to harbor concerns about the Twelfth Prince. However, the poem was nowhere to be found. Nor was the letter the Bailian Cult had sent to the Ninth Master clarifying that Fu Tong'er was not a member of the Cult.
King Hui replied "yes" and stood up to take the letter. The letter said that the four outstanding new recruits in the Ninth Prince's army, Xiao Xin, Shen Shize, Zhou Qingfeng, and Sikong Xiao, begged the Ninth Prince to appoint Fu Tong'er as a general. If appointed as a general, they would swear allegiance to him until death.
"The Ninth Prince is doting on her even more!"
As soon as Prince Hui Lu Qixuan finished speaking, he heard his father snort coldly, full of disdain, mockery and jealousy.
"Appoint him a general? The Ninth Prince's new recruit was so completely subdued by Fu Tong'er! This is truly unheard of!" After reading the letter, King Hui sat down on his seat, his head bowed in regret. That girl was originally his princess, and if she was to be made a general, even if it was such a thing, the honor should belong to him, King Hui! Originally, he could have boasted about this kind of thing, saying, "My princess is going to be a general!" But now, she was the Ninth Prince's mistress, even his servant...
He couldn't help but think back to that day when the Ninth Prince had held her at the entrance of a dark alley, kissing her passionately and even touching her all over. Given the Ninth Prince's past style, there was no way he'd let anyone see something like that. Unless it was intentional.
So, what move is he making?
"Your Ninth Uncle is someone we must be wary of," Emperor Jing of Yan said. "According to spies, they are heading south tonight to meet with Marquis Dingnan."
King Hui said slowly, "Father, my uncle and grandfather have been kings in Pingxi Province for many years. Why haven't you ruled?"
"Cure? If his forces are wiped out by your Ninth Uncle, your father won't be able to sit on the throne for many more days!"
"Tonight, everything will finally end! From now on, there will be no more Regent Prince Chun in Dayan! The imperial power belongs only to me!"
When King Hui heard this, he stood up, lifted his clothes, and knelt down one after another:
"Father, I beg you to let Tong'er go."
Emperor Jing of Yan struck the table and said, "On the Lantern Festival that day, your Ninth Imperial Uncle specially brought that girl to the banquet. They were so affectionate at the banquet, even kissing without hesitation. They didn't even take me seriously! They were so arrogant, relying on the millions of troops at their disposal, so unscrupulous! Qixuan, you also saw your Ninth Imperial Uncle and that girl in the alley, a passionate affair... Your princess was having an affair with your Ninth Imperial Uncle, and you even pleaded for her!"
King Hui stopped pleading, as he already had a plan in mind. He could bully Fu Tong'er, or tolerate her loving someone else. But he wanted her to live!
Since the spies from Tianbao Pavilion reported that his Ninth Uncle traveled by water, then it must be related to sailing!
Prince Chun's Palace
Jiu Ye asked his men to pack up their luggage and had dinner with Deputy General Xiao, Military Advisor Xu, and the general in front of the main hall, but Fu Tong'er was not there.
Since the seat next to Jiu Ye was always empty, everyone was hungry.
General You asked, "Master Jiu, why don't you see Tongtong?"
Deputy General Xiao said: "Miss Fu heard from Master Jiu that he would not take her with him when he went south. I just saw her sitting alone under the plum tree in the courtyard, sulking. I called her to dinner, and she said, oh, she said,
The general asked, "What did she say?"
"She said," Deputy General Xiao suppressed his laughter, "who wants to eat with that old bastard Jiu Ye?"
Jiu Ye: "..."
"Then," Xiao Pu continued to laugh, "After she finished speaking, she fell down. After getting up, she scolded the commander-in-chief again, saying that the land in my mansion was incompatible with hers. She said that when she was appointed as a female general, she would come back and level my land!"
General You Yi and Military Advisor Xu both smiled secretly.
Jiu Ye said:
