Hua Qingxue was stunned for a moment. Although she didn't recognize the other person, she knew that this man was a soldier with an official rank. She hurriedly replied: "I have something to tell him..."
The commander wanted to do well in front of Hua Qingxue, so he said with a smile: "It's so cold outside. Miss Hua, please go inside and wait. You can see General Fu after the discussion is over."
Hua Qingxue looked at the guards on both sides and saw that they had no intention of blocking her, so she boldly walked into the camp with the commanding officer.
Fu Tingye's main account is very large and is a place dedicated to discussing matters and handling military affairs. After entering, there is a small empty area, and beyond that is a thick brown tapestry curtain to isolate the cold air outside.
He ordered the officials to leave Hua Qingxue here, then opened the door and went in.
Hua Qingxue suddenly realized that this place should be specially set aside for the soldiers who were waiting to be summoned.
Now that she's here, she'll be in peace. She stands by the tapestry curtain and waits for Fu Tingye to finish his work.
There seemed to be a lot of quarrels in the camp. Perhaps it was related to the nature of soldiers. Everyone was bold and rough, and their voices were like thunder. When they spoke together, it was like a pot exploding.
Comparing this, Hua Qingxue found that Fu Tingye was very gentle when he yelled at her...
Just as she was thinking in her mind, Hua Qingxue suddenly heard them talking about His Highness the Crown Prince. Hua Qingxue was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but listen carefully.
"Sending the prince back to the capital is a small matter, but how to send him there is a big problem! His majesty passed away at this time, and Prince Ning's move is obviously to usurp the throne! Once the prince enters the capital, the consequences will be disastrous!"
Hua Qingxue's face suddenly turned pale!
… The emperor died? ! Then... what should Li Jingnan do
She was panicking when she heard another person say: "You can't count it as a conspiracy to usurp the throne. Prince Ning and His Majesty are brothers. Your Majesty passed away and the prince is missing. The country cannot live without a king for a day. It is reasonable for Prince Ning to ascend the throne..."
"What do you mean by this?! Do you want the general to be the rebellious minister?!"
"Winning a king or losing a bandit, the winner has always had the final say when it comes to conspiracy. What's more, what's the situation in Da Qi now?... Please ask yourselves, is it really better to let an eight-year-old prince ascend the throne than Prince Ning?"
The camp, which was originally noisy, suddenly fell into silence because of these words...
Hua Qingxue's heart became even more panicked.
If that Prince Ning is really allowed to take the throne, Li Jingnan's situation will become very dangerous! Any new emperor who ascends the throne will not let the former crown prince get in his way, because that way, he will always remind himself that the title of the throne is unfair and unjust...
Hua Qingxue's hands and feet were cold, and she held her breath and listened to the movements in the tent, fearing that the next voice would be someone who approved of Prince Ning's ascension to the throne.
In the eerie silence, a slightly lower voice said: "Let's not talk about the far away, let's talk about the immediate. Whether it is supporting the crown prince to ascend the throne or supporting Prince Ning, our generals cannot do without the merit of following the dragon. Now It depends on which end has more benefits."
"Of course it's Prince Ning!" someone immediately blurted out, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is only eight years old, how do you know how to recognize and employ people? When the Crown Prince ascends the throne and becomes emperor, the Queen Mother will be behind him. thing?!"
Someone retorted: "Do you think Prince Ning is a good person? If you want to surrender to Prince Ning, the prince will definitely die. When Prince Ning ascends the throne in the future, he can bite you back at any time. As long as the prince dies at the hands of the general, we people will not only be punished with death." If you run away, you will be infamy for eternity!"
In this way, Li Jingnan in the Qingzhou camp has become a hot potato...
The strange thing is... she never heard Fu Tingye speak.
Hua Qingxue thought anxiously: What would the bearded man think
Qin Laowu cursed impatiently: "Damn it, we are fighting to the death with the Liao soldiers here, and those nobles are also fighting happily in the capital. Prince Bao will definitely confront King Ning, and King Fu Ning We have to prevent others from trying to burn bridges! We’re not going to please both ends, so why don’t we sit in that position ourselves!”
These words are indeed a bit treasonous, and they are clearly encouraging Fu Tingye to fight for power!
At that moment, someone yelled: "Lao Wu! The general has made his own decision!"
After a while, Hua Qingxue heard Fu Tingye say: "We will discuss this matter tonight. Please keep your mouth shut about His Majesty's death. Once the news leaks out, the Liao people will definitely take action."
Everyone agreed one after another, and someone came forward and said something to the general. Fu Tingye was slightly stunned, and then shouted: "Nonsense! How can a woman be allowed in at an important military location?!"
Hua Qingxue's face changed slightly, she was indeed hated...
The next moment, Fu Tingye was heard saying harshly: "Let her in!"
Hua Qingxue: "..."
Is it too late to sneak away now
The door curtain was opened. Hua Qingxue gritted her teeth and walked in, not daring to raise her head.
She could feel the appraising eyes all around... It was so embarrassing!
Fu Tingye: "You all go down."
People walked by one after another, Hua Qingxue still lowered her head, not daring to take a breath.
When everyone went out, she heard Fu Tingye ask: "Why did you come to see me?"
There was no emotion in his tone.
Hua Qingxue originally wanted Fu Tingye to arrange for someone to escort her out of the camp, but after just standing outside and listening, all she could think about now was Li Jingnan's affairs!
When she hesitated like this, the man became impatient and came over and asked directly: "What's going on?"
Hua Qingxue raised her head in panic, touched Fu Tingye's deep and sharp black eyes, and lowered her head again in fear, "I... I want to trouble the general to send someone to escort me out of the camp..."
"Leaving the camp?" Fu Tingye was slightly stunned and asked, "Where are you going?"
Hua Qingxue took out the "ID card" that Li Jingnan got for herself, showed it to Fu Tingye, and whispered in a soft voice: "His Royal Highness said that you can settle in Daqi with this. I... I want to go to Panshui City to visit Take a look and find a place to stay.”
Fu Tingye held his chin and thought for a while, Panshui City... well, it's quite close. His mansion is located in Panshui City, which is just right for this woman to move there. It will be convenient for her to get married after she decides on her name.
"We will arrange a carriage to take you back to the city later." Fu Tingye felt better and his tone became more relaxed. "There are not many people in my house. If you need anything, you can go directly to the housekeeper Zhao Sheng."
Hua Qingxue was grateful. She was unfamiliar with the place, so she felt uneasy, but if she could deal with the people in the general's mansion, she would have someone to rely on for anything! It will definitely get twice the result with half the effort!
"Thank you, General!" Hua Qingxue thanked her quickly. She did not refuse such a great opportunity at all, "I will have to trouble Butler Zhao more often in the future."
Fu Tingye nodded slightly, very satisfied with Hua Qingxue's reaction.
Seeing that Fu Tingye seemed to be in a good mood, Hua Qingxue thought of Li Jingnan and boldly asked, "General, go to Panshui City... Can I take His Royal Highness with me?"
Fu Tingye's face suddenly darkened, and he looked at her with an inquiring gaze.
Hua Qingxue couldn't help but feel a little nervous. When she was nervous, she started to stumble when she spoke, "Think about it... changing your name shouldn't be... difficult. Originally, when we were in Renqiu, the prince and I were like siblings. When I went to Pan in the future, Water City, we can still live together..."
Fu Tingye looked at her steadily for a long time and asked, "Do you know what you are talking about?"
Hua Qingxue lowered her head and mumbled back: "General, the prince... is only eight years old. Please show mercy to the general..."
Hua Qingxue is not stupid. Daqi itself is already in turmoil. If the person sitting on the throne now is an eight-year-old child, both the common people and the soldiers guarding the border will feel decadent. Because everyone knows, so That was why there was this dispute in the camp.
In the final analysis, none of these people believed Li Jingnan.
Since ancient times, it has not been a good thing for an emperor to be too young. It will either attract enemy countries to be ready to take action, or the imperial power will exclude relatives and dominate.
During the discussion just now, Fu Tingye did not stop them from arguing, which shows that he was also hesitating in his heart...
It turned out that he saved the prince because the emperor was seriously ill and the country could not live without a king for a day, so the prince had to be rescued. But now... the emperor is dead, and the throne is likely to fall into the hands of Prince Ning, so everything has changed...
Fu Tingye stared at her for a long time and said, "I have made my own decision on this matter. You can go out."
Hua Qingxue's heart skipped a beat, she lowered her head and walked out stiffly.
She stood outside the camp and took a long time to catch her breath. Looking back, I just find it incredible that she actually told the general so openly? Just say it like that
Escape with the prince incognito or something like that...
Maybe it's because she lacks the concept of dignity in this era, so she behaves in such an outrageous manner, right? Fortunately, he didn't get angry...
Hua Qingxue returned to Li Jingnan's tent. The little prince was pacing back and forth anxiously. When he saw her coming in, he immediately complained: "Why have you been gone for so long? I almost went to find you!"
Hua Qingxue forced a smile and said, "General Fu is discussing something. I waited for a while before I saw him."
"Oh! What did he say?" Li Jingnan asked, "Did he promise to send someone to take you to Panshui City?"
Hua Qingxue smiled and nodded, "Yes! General Fu is a very good soldier, and he also said that he would let his housekeeper take care of me."
Li Jingnan felt relieved and said, "That's good, otherwise it would be quite difficult for you as a woman to settle down."
Hua Qingxue expressed her disapproval and immediately refuted him, "What's wrong with women? I wasn't a woman when I was in Renqiu? I still have no problem taking you with me!"
Li Jingnan showed disdain in his eyes, "That's because your highness has great blessings and luck has blessed you! Otherwise, just because of you as a woman... Humph, just cry alone!"
Hua Qingxue wanted to say more, but then a soldier walked in from outside, cupped his hands and said, "Miss Hua, the carriage is ready."
The prince was stunned for a moment and murmured: "So fast..."
Preparing the carriage was just a matter of Fu Tingye's words, and it didn't take much time in the first place.
Li Jingnan looked at Hua Qingxue with a feeling of reluctance. They had just met...
Hua Qingxue was also stunned. She just walked away like that? ... However, she hasn't figured out yet how Big Beard plans to arrange Li Jingnan!
Hua Qingxue looked at the little bun with an expression of attachment, and then at the soldier who was waiting to return home. Her heart was full of contradictions and entanglements...
