Linghu Lan: "..."
"lead the way!"
The palace maid was very happy.
"Please, Regent!"
On the road.
Linghu Lan found out why the court was arguing.
General Guo Feng led his troops and generals, including Jiang Xinwei, out of the capital and southwards, chasing Jiang Xinwei until she was routed.
The journey was going smoothly until they caught up with Yu Jiang, when they were ambushed.
The attacker was a general from the Wushui Kingdom. Under the protection of the Wushui Kingdom soldiers, Jiang Xinwei successfully crossed the Yu River.
Now, the envoy from the Wushui Kingdom has come to visit, and he speaks arrogantly in the imperial court.
In return for demanding that Yu the Great cede ten cities, Wu Shui would withdraw its soldiers who had infiltrated Yu the Great's ranks and not intervene in Yu the Great's civil war. Otherwise, Wu Shui would assist Jiang Xinwei in attacking the capital.
The court officials then began arguing about the matter.
One faction advocated peace, ceding ten cities to quell internal strife first.
One faction advocates war, refusing to cede any territory or diminish national prestige.
After listening.
Linghu Lan was devastated...
As expected, it's a five-star difficulty level, truly extraordinary.
One strange thing after another, do they dare to cause any more trouble?

"Your subordinate pays respects to the Regent!"
A plump woman emerged from the side corridor, knelt down, and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, Young Master Xiao Shan is requesting an audience outside the palace gates, wishing to enter and serve Your Majesty. He has been waiting outside for three days. A few days ago, His Majesty issued an order that no one should disturb Your Majesty's recuperation, so I did not report this. Today, Young Master Xiao Shan has come to the palace gates again, waiting patiently. I dare not make a decision on my own, and beg Your Majesty's instructions."
"Xiaoshan?"
Linghu Lan didn't react for a moment!
"That's right, your fiancé!"
Linghu Lan: "ooo..."
wipe!
They're really stirring things up!
System, you come out here, or I'll kill you.
If I can't kill you, I'll make sure programmers are single forever.
#System's Godly Disdain: Heh!#
In the story, Jiang Yun does indeed have a fiancé, Xiao Shan, who is also the male lead's older brother.
However, in the storyline, Jiang Xinwei successfully usurped the throne, Xiao Ling became the Phoenix Lord, and Jiang Yun was imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison.
The marriage between Xiao Shan and Jiang Yun was naturally canceled, and because of Xiao Ling's rise to power, the Xiao family became the most powerful and prestigious family.
Although Xiao Ling was not well-liked in the Xiao family, he still had to rely on them because Jiang Xinwei was not a modern person who believed in monogamy.
After Xiao Ling, Jiang Xinwei amassed a large harem, including numerous noblemen and servants, earning her the title of one of the most romantic emperors in history.
To secure his position as Empress, Xiao Ling dealt with several former enemies and provided strong support to the rest of the Xiao family.
Xiao Shan was the eldest son, and because of his status, he did not harm Xiao Ling. Instead, he used Xiao Ling's fame to get married in a grand manner.
now.
Jiang Xinwei was defeated, and Xiao Ling became a rebel. Since the Xiao family's roots were in the capital, they were naturally eager to send Xiao Shan to curry favor with the Regent.
Linghu Lan thought for a moment and said, "Let him wait. I will see him after I finish court."
"yes!"
Linghu Lan looked solemn and strode quickly toward the imperial court.
As soon as I reached the door, I heard a noisy commotion inside.
"Nonsense! How dare the barbaric Wushui Kingdom presumptuously demand ten cities from my Great Yu? Your words are clearly boosting the enemy's morale and diminishing the prestige of my Great Yu. I implore Your Majesty to kill this traitor."
"The national treasury is empty now. Where will we get the provisions for war? Ten cities may be many, but as long as we can get the Wushui Kingdom to withdraw its troops, wipe out the rebels as soon as possible, and unify the Great Yu, we can take revenge on Wushui in the future. What's wrong with that? Hmph! You are really short-sighted. Your Majesty is wise!"
