Li Ting rushed back to the capital before the imperial edict arrived. He left all the follow-up matters to the Flying Tiger Army.
When Emperor Hui learned that the Flying Tiger Army had suddenly appeared, but the general leading the army was unknown, he ordered an investigation.
After searching high and low, no such person could be found.
The Flying Tigers set up camp in the most prosperous part of the Northwest, where Da Gui and several outstanding Flying Tiger soldiers led the people of the Northwest to cultivate the land, graze livestock, and farm.
During the time that the Great Liang Kingdom seized the land, this prosperous land was cruelly exploited by the Great Liang Kingdom.
The people are suffering terribly.
Dong Minghui led his assistants to help the Flying Tigers govern the area, and soon the people's lives stabilized and returned to normal.
The Flying Tigers also established martial arts schools on this land, and during the off-season, the whole population was mobilized for military training.
Gui Dongkai, in the Northwest Army camp, also began to emulate the Flying Tigers.
For a time, a wave of enthusiasm for physical fitness swept across the Northwest.
The ceasefire agreement of the Great Liang Kingdom was finally signed by Gui Dongkai.
The merits of the Flying Tigers were also reported to the imperial court by Gui Dongkai, who requested that they be rewarded accordingly.
Da Gui was credited with assisting General Fei Hu, but now that General Fei Hu is nowhere to be found, all the credit has fallen on Da Gui.
Zhao Yunwan, using the words of "Emperor Hui," summoned Da Gui back to the capital to receive his reward.
Da Gui had already changed his name and surname, and was now acting under the name Bedori, which Xiao Sheng had given him.
Therefore, Zhao Yunwan only thought that he was a rising star in the Flying Tiger Army and wanted to win him over.
When Da Gui returned to the capital to meet the emperor, after receiving his reward in the Golden Palace, Bedori walked up to Xiao Sheng and kowtowed to thank him for his kindness. Zhao Yunwan was dumbfounded.
If she knew that Bedori was a servant that Li Ting had bought to be placed by Xiao Sheng's side, how could she have allowed "Emperor Hui" to bestow honors upon the Flying Tiger Army?
But having read the decree of reward and accepted it, Bedori could only swallow his anger.
After the court session ended, Zhao Yunwan and Zheng Duoyu stayed together.
After their tender moment, Zhao Yunwan suggested that, to prevent any unforeseen complications, it was time for Xiao Ding to take over.
The two hurriedly summoned Liang Qianfan. Huangfu Chuying was involved in the entire process this time, formulating the plan.
Xiao Ding was kept in the dark.
To prevent any unforeseen complications, the fewer people who know, the better.
Unfortunately, the bird that had been perched in front of Zhao Yunwan's window flew away quietly after hearing their plan.
Zhao Yunwan found it strange that she saw the bird again. It was quite beautiful. She decided that if she saw it again, she would keep it in a cage.
The bird flew back to the Li family home and told Xu Ningyou and Li Xingran what it had just heard.
After saying that, Li Xingran reached out and hugged the bird.
"Green Bean, you're so good. Here's a big reward for you. Come on, have some candy."
Li Xingran took out a few colorful candies from her pocket and put them near the beak of the parrot named "Green Bean".
"Thank you, Ruanruan. Ruanruan is the best to Mung Bean. I love Ruanruan so much."
"Sycophant." Li Xingran stroked Green Bean's head.
"Your mission is over. You don't need to go to dangerous places anymore!"
"Green Bean, I've prepared a surprise for you. Remember to come to my place early tomorrow! Go have fun, but remember not to fly to the palace anymore, you don't need to go there anymore."
"Yes, yes!"
"Ruanruan, how can the Empress be so cruel?"
"Mother, it's probably because the throne is too attractive. The power of life and death that the emperor holds is alluring."
Did these things happen in your previous life?
Li Xingran opened her big eyes and looked at the beautiful woman. "Mother, in my previous life, there was no emperor in our country. People were equal. As long as you worked hard, you could live a good life."
"That must be wonderful!"
"Hmm. By the way, Mother, I'll teach you how to use the new gadget that Third Uncle made."
Li Xingran held up a bar of soap and showed it off in front of Xu Ningyou.
"Mommy, it feels so good to take a bath with this!"
"Wet your body and then apply it, lather it up, and then rinse it off with water."
"After washing, my whole body smells wonderful."
The mother and daughter's attention was diverted from what Green Bean had brought back earlier.
In the afternoon, Xiao Sheng left the palace, and Li Ting took over the case of investigating Zhao Yunchen.
Apart from Li Ruizhang, who was at Tianji Mountain, and Li Ruiheng and Li Ruijin, who were venturing into Mingzhou, everyone else was there.
Li Ting has learned of Zhao Yunwan's plan.
Xu Ningyou then recounted the plan that Lvdou had overheard from Zhao Yunwan and the others to everyone.
Luo Bingqian secretly rejoiced.
Fortunately, Uncle Wei told his fortune, otherwise his fate would have been tied to that vicious woman.
Although whoever wins the throne is the rightful ruler, he disdains such insidious and ruthless methods.
Since the founding of the Southern Chen Kingdom, the crown prince could only be deposed if he was born disabled or committed a heinous crime.
Otherwise, the eldest son of the legitimate wife would inherit the throne.
Over the course of more than four hundred years, there have been instances of the second son of the legitimate wife vying for the throne, but these were very rare.
Internal strife is a major taboo in the Nan Chen Kingdom.
Zhao Yunwan now has three plans.
The first plan was to assassinate the crown prince and cripple him.
Secondly, he had Huangfu Chuxiong of the Great Yue Kingdom write a letter, forging a correspondence between the Crown Prince and the Great Yue Kingdom.
The third is the cause of the prince's death in the book: witchcraft.
Xiao Sheng knew that Grand Tutor Li couldn't protect him forever, so this time he had to overcome this obstacle on his own.
Luo Bingqian looked at Xiao Sheng with a determined gaze and made a promise to Li Ting.
"Uncle Li, I will definitely stay by His Highness's side and help him deal with this."
"Although we know Zhao Yunwan's plans, we don't know when or where she will make her move."
