At dusk.
The gunfire stopped.
Xiao Xiazi came in happily to report, "Master! Great news! Your Majesty won! Your Majesty suppressed Prince Fu's rebellion!"
Ning Wanyin finally let go of the worry that had been hanging in her heart.
Although she looked calm on the surface, she was still a little worried before any results were obtained.
"I know that your majesty is wise and brave, and will definitely protect the stability of the Great Yan Dynasty." Ning Wanyin smiled warmly, looking at Xiao Xiazi and said:
"Inform all palaces, except for the concubines of the Cen Party who are under house arrest, everyone else can resume normal life."
"The two eunuchs will continue their patrols as usual."
Xiao Xiazi took the order and retreated.
When the news that His Majesty had suppressed Prince Fu's rebellion spread, the concubines in the harem breathed a sigh of relief.
No matter what everyone thinks at ordinary times, everyone knows that if the rebel army attacks, they will not have a good ending.
Tang Miaoling and Wei Yingya stayed in Lingxue Pavilion and had dinner with Ning Wanyin.
Xiao Guizi told the news she had just heard:
"Your Majesty has issued an edict to the whole country... He is currently summoning ministers to discuss military affairs."
Tang Miaoling felt uneasy after hearing this.
Born into a family of generals, she was already accustomed to her father and brothers going to the battlefield, but this time they were facing the Cen family.
"My father and the Dong family are equally matched. As for that Xiao, even if he can fight a draw with the remaining Cen family troops, there is still the Daliang army... How should we fight this battle?" Tang Miaoling was very anxious.
It is well known that the strength of the four great marquis families is similar.
Among them, the Dong family of Dongchuan Marquis is a marquis family that has always been loyal to the Cen family.
Tang Miaoling didn't understand war, but she could still figure out a simple count of heads.
The Dong family alone is enough to tie with her father. The Cen family not only has the Dong family army, but also the Wei family army, countless generals of all sizes, and Daliang!
Obviously we are outnumbered.
Wei Yingya nodded worriedly, "Although we have won in the capital for now, if we lose in the southwest, they will attack us sooner or later, right?"
Ning Wanyin shook her head slightly, "The situation is not as bad as you think. Although the Cen family has many vassal generals, they used to join the Cen family in order to win battles with the Cen family and for their future. Now that the Cen family is colluding with the enemy and rebelling, many generals of the Cen family faction will surely abandon the dark and join the light."
It is human nature to join a coach who can win battles.
But surrendering to the enemy and rebelling is another matter.
The generals on the southwest front have been fighting against Daliang for many years, and have sacrificed countless family members and friends. Their hatred for the country and family is deeper than anyone else.
The original intention of many generals to join the Cen family was to follow you to defeat Daliang.
Now you want us to surrender?
The Cen family lost the support of the people with this move.
The Cen family faction is bound to fall apart.
Ning Wanyin guessed that the situation in the southwest could probably be stabilized.
"That's good, that's good!" Tang Miaoling felt relieved after hearing Ning Wanyin's words, "I hope the war in the southwest goes smoothly! My father can return safely!"
It’s getting late.
After the meal, the two sat for a while and then returned to the palace.
Ning Wanyin did not sleep, but just sat quietly in front of the window, thinking about all the current news and the impact of this war on the court and harem.
By the way, waiting for someone.
"Your Majesty is heading towards Lingxue Pavilion!" Xiao Guizi hurried in to report.
Ning Wanyin collected her thoughts, stood up and walked quickly to greet him.
…
When Helian Qi arrived, Ning Wanyin was standing in front of the Yonghe Palace as pretty as ever, looking in the direction of the long street.
The palace maid was holding a gold-painted palace lantern, and the light illuminated her eyes and eyebrows, making her bright and charming.
Helian Qi stepped down from the dragon chariot and looked at her.
In the past, the young lady would have stepped forward and greeted him respectfully, but today she just stared at him motionlessly, her eyes red and tears welling up in her eyelashes.
"Wanwan, don't cry--" Helian Qi walked straight to her.
The next moment, Ning Wanyin threw herself into his arms, tears falling down her cheeks, her voice slightly sobbing: "Your Majesty——"
Helian Qi reached out and stroked her head, his expression gentle:
"It's all right now. I heard from Wang Degui that you remained calm in the face of danger and did a great job stabilizing the situation in the harem. I thought you were not afraid, but I didn't expect you to cry like this..."
It’s because she did so well today.
That’s why I’m crying now because I’m so vulnerable.
"Your Majesty, please protect me and others in front. I am not afraid that they can break into the harem." Ning Wanyin looked at him with tears in her eyes, her slender fingers tightly grasping his sleeves:
"I know in my heart that Your Majesty is wise and powerful, and you will definitely be able to deal with such a small-time villain. But I was inexplicably worried. Now that I see that you are safe and sound, I feel relieved."
I know you are powerful and I believe you will protect me, but I am still worried about you.
Helian Qi's heart softened and he took the beauty into his arms.
Wang Degui reported the situation in the harem to him early on.
As an emperor, he naturally admired Ning Wanyin's ability to remain calm in the face of adversity.
But as a husband, if his woman handles things calmly and rationally when in danger, it seems that he doesn't care about him at all.
Before he saw Ning Wanyin, he had felt a sense of alienation in his heart. But now that he was holding her in his arms, this sense of alienation disappeared.
Ning Wanyin was calm and composed in front of outsiders, but her eyes turned red when she saw him for the first time.
He understood that he was special in her heart.
The emperor and his concubine entered Lingxue Pavilion and sat opposite each other.
Helian Qi didn't have anything special to tell Ning Wanyin. She handled the affairs of the harem very well.
Whether it is to stabilize the situation or catch the arsonist as soon as possible.
As for the subsequent treatment of the concubines of the Cen Party, everything was very good.
He also surrounded the families of the Cen party but did not attack them.
With such tacit understanding, some things don’t need further explanation.
He came to see Ning Wanyin at this time because of the shocking incident in the palace today, and he must come to the harem to see the concubine in charge. He also came to see her because he didn't want Ning Wanyin to worry about him.
The two chatted for a while.
Helian Qi finally looked at Ning Wanyin and said, "I have been very busy with government affairs recently, so I will leave all matters concerning the harem to you."
"Thank you for your majesty's trust in me. I will do my best." Ning Wanyin said seriously.
Helian Qi got up and left.
He also had to go to Linlang Palace to visit Concubine Zhuang, and then return to Ganxin Palace to review memorials.
Ning Wanyin watched him leave and looked at Lian Rui, "Take a bath."
You can go to sleep now.
As the emperor's concubine, she had to remain calm in her work and yet also had to worry about the emperor.
The transition between being surprised and not being surprised needs to be just right.
The former is ability, the latter is love.
If she wants to stay in power for a long time, she needs to take both into account.
