Li Langxuan took a deep breath, looked at Shang Yunlan, and said with a headache, "What can I do to help you, my lord? Tell me first."
Shang Yunlan nodded slightly, then raised her eyes and said, "I want to use your wedding banquet to my advantage. Don't worry, it won't affect you in the slightest. I just want to take this opportunity to get the Imperial Concubine to leave the palace."
Li Langxuan was somewhat shocked, then overjoyed: "You have a way to get my sister to leave the palace?"
He always felt that the palace was a cannibalistic place, a pit of fire. He and his elder sister depended on each other for survival, and when she married Lu Zhi, Li Langxuan knew that Lu Zhi was no good match.
Li Langxuan did try to stop her, but for the sake of the family, his elder sister still chose to marry Lu Zhi.
He witnessed firsthand how his once spirited and dashing sister, a renowned general, transformed into the "femme fatale who brought ruin to the country" in the eyes of the world.
He felt hatred, regret, guilt, and pain in his heart.
But now, Shang Yunlan says he has a way to get his sister to leave the palace...
Li Langxuan calmed down slightly from his euphoria; this was simply an impossible thing to do.
Shang Yunlan didn't miss the hesitation in Li Langxuan's eyes. She smiled slightly and then explained the plan she and Lin Jing had finalized, as well as the backup plan, to Li Langxuan and Yan Xuening.
It only took the two of them a quarter of an hour to go from being skeptical to being completely convinced.
Li Langxuan's eyes were slightly red. He pursed his lips and looked at Shang Yunlan, saying with great emotion, "If you can really bring my sister out of the palace, then I am willing to go through fire and water with you, my lord."
Shang Yunlan raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Wrong, it means I'll go through fire and water with the county princess, without hesitation."
Li Langxuan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized and laughed, "I was wrong. The county princess fought and fought in the northwest as a woman. Such achievements will surely be recorded in history books for thousands of years."
After a few more words of conversation, Shang Yunlan saw the two off.
Shang Yunlan was now alone in the study, staring absently at the teacup in his hand.
Li Langxuan, Yan Xuening, Lin Jing, Granny Li, Consort Zhao, Li Xuan, Chen Shu, Qiao Xiuyu...
There were also a few scattered maids and servants.
These are all people who followed them in the rebellion.
In fact, it is not an easy task to bring these people under one's control, especially in an imperial society; but fortunately, they are all human beings, living, breathing people with emotions, desires, selfishness, and itch.
Once their weaknesses and vulnerabilities are identified, it is not entirely impossible to bring them under one's control.
Li Langxuan has an older sister who was deeply hurt by the royal family; Yan Xuening craves power and wealth; Lin Jing and Granny Li have always loved the two siblings; Consort Zhao wants to return to the battlefield; and Li Xuan and Chen Shu want peace in the world...
Shang Yunlan closed his eyes and thought—what he wanted was for An'an to be able to fulfill all her wishes.
...
Southern Chen, Shu Prefecture.
Bai Lu has been greatly frightened these past few days.
First, I heard that the Western Turks had invaded Shuocheng, then I heard that the county magistrate had won a great battle and captured the young Khan Ashina Yeting. Before I could even breathe a sigh of relief, I heard that the county magistrate had been seriously injured and was unconscious.
She was immediately anxious and almost went to the Northwest to take care of Shang Shaoyan herself, but Xu Xian stopped her: "If you go to the Northwest now, who will take care of the affairs in Shu Prefecture? The county princess is risking her life on the front line, and all we can do is guard the rear for her."
