At the general's command, the soldiers outside the door immediately came in and escorted Xiao Jiang out.
Lu Wanwan anxiously grabbed Lu Zhenwei's arm and pleaded anxiously.
"Mother, please forgive Xiao Jiang this time. She was forced into a desperate situation, and she has done her best to protect me. She has been with my daughter for so many years, and even if she has no merits, she has worked hard. Please forgive her this time. Besides, hasn't Xiao Jiang met the person who hurt me? We can let her make amends for her crime."
"General, please forgive this girl for the sake of the young master." Ling'er sat back in her seat without knowing when. Her white jade hands were playing with the blue and white porcelain cup. The low profile just now was completely gone. Her beautiful eyes were full of spirit.
Lu Zhenwei looked back, stared at Ling'er for a long time, and waved his hand, "Forget it, you all should leave first. This general has something to say to this young master alone."
"Yes, General."
She glanced at her daughter's hand, then gently patted it, "Wanwan, you should go down first. As for Xiao Jiang, mother will handle it appropriately, don't worry."
Nodding, Lu Wanwan also retreated with the help of Xiao Jiang.
For a moment, Lu Zhenwei and Ling'er were the only ones left in the room.
"Tell me, who are you?" As a general protecting the country, she naturally had her own intelligence channels, but she could not find any clues about the mysterious young man. So she was sure that he was not an ordinary person, and he had no intention of harming her. However, he must have some ulterior motive for helping Wanwan cure her illness so enthusiastically.
But she had no choice. Wanwan's illness was her biggest weakness. She couldn't refuse any doctor who could cure Wanwan. So she didn't ask the man's purpose in advance. Now, Wanwan's illness seemed to have really improved, and it was a done deal. Now, she wanted to know what the man wanted.
"Aunt Lu, long time no see, you really don't recognize Yun Xiao." She put down the teacup in her hand, smiled, and met Lu Zhenwei's scrutiny with a harmless face. She didn't hide it anymore, but faced this national defense general directly and nakedly, because she didn't have time to beat around the bush. If she had one more second, thousands more people would die on Emperor Shitian's side.
"Yun Xiao?" Lu Zhenwei repeated the name with a moment's confusion. He did not react to Ling'er's words for a moment and lowered his head in thought.
"Yun Xiao? Yun Xiao..." Suddenly, he raised his head and looked towards Ling'er in disbelief. "Shangguan Yun Xiao!"
The concealment in a pair of black eyes faded away, replaced by an alluring purple.
Everyone in the entire Feng Kingdom knows that these purple eyes are the characteristic of Shangguan Yunxiao.
Lu Zhenwei was a little excited at the moment. His originally calm body was trembling slightly. His eyes were fixed on Ling'er, as if he was looking at a relative he hadn't seen for many years. Since General Shangguan passed away, she had forgotten how many years it had been since she had looked at her niece seriously.
He moved his feet and slowly approached Ling'er, "Yun Xiao? Are you really Yun Xiao?"
Shangguan Yunxiao, although he had not visited his niece for many years, her deeds were known to everyone. Her deeds were so absurd in the past that they could not be described. Later, she was suddenly canonized as Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess and even led troops to defeat Tianqi.
Her deeds are now known as miraculous, and now she has even brought people back to life by curing Wanwan's strange illness that had plagued her for years.
Even though Shangguan Yunxiao was right in front of her, dressed in men's clothes and gentle and elegant, she still couldn't understand her.
It's like a distant mountain behind the fog, and yet it's so close.
Is this really the original Shangguan Yunxiao? Or has she been playing the pig and eating the tiger for so many years
Thinking about my own experience, looking back at her like this, it seems that all possibilities are possible. As long as it involves imperial power, there is no simple possibility.
Even though she had no way of believing it, this pair of purple eyes, unique in the world, forced her to believe it.
Shangguan Yunxiao is no longer the same person she used to be. As the princess, what is her purpose for doing what she did today
"This old minister pays respect to Her Royal Highness, Princess. May Your Highness live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years."
"Okay, Aunt Lu, there's no need to be so formal between us. Get up." After Ling'er said this, she stretched out her hand and motioned Lu Zhenwei to sit down and talk.
Lu Zhenwei came back to his senses, a smile appeared on his originally serious face, and then he walked to sit down opposite Ling'er, and said in a gentle tone: "It's been a long time since we last met. Your Highness has grown into a princess who can stand on her own. Seeing your achievements today, General Shangguan can also smile in his grave. But I didn't know that Your Highness has such insights in medical skills, which is really amazing."
If the poison in Wanwan's body is really related to Her Majesty the Queen, then was the arrival of the Princess Royal today also instructed by Her Majesty the Queen? But the poisoning was said by Her Majesty the Princess Royal. Her Majesty the Queen is so smart that she would know that once she knew the truth, even if Her Majesty the Queen gave her the antidote, the barrier would have been left. So according to common sense, it doesn't seem like Her Majesty the Queen's style. So what is the purpose of Her Majesty the Princess Royal coming today
"Forgive me for being rude, but may I ask what Your Highness the Crown Princess wants?" She was direct and to the point, because she could see that Your Highness the Crown Princess didn't want to beat around the bush.
Ling'er curled her lips into a smile, then stood up and looked down at the general.
"Seek peace." Just two simple words, without any extra explanation. After saying these two words, he just smiled quietly, waiting for Lu Zhenwei's answer.
In fact, Ling'er's request is roughly the same as Lu Zhenwei's. It's just that Ling'er is more for Emperor Shitian, while Lu Zhenwei is for the people of Fengguo and the people of the world. No matter which country is strong or weak, once a war breaks out, it is the innocent people who suffer. Because war is not just two simple words, it involves a lot of things, and the troops have not moved. Food and grass come first. In war, not only the occupied areas have bloodshed and sacrifices, but also places that are not affected by the war will be littered with corpses due to heavy taxes.
For emperors, war is just a word; for government officials, war is an excuse to enrich themselves and exploit the people without restraint; for soldiers, war is a game in which they have to tie their heads to their belts and never know when they might die.
Because she was a great general and had experienced so many battles, she understood that peace was the most important thing. Isn't it good that the eight countries are united? Why must this harmony be broken for the king's little ambition
It was because Ling'er saw through Lu Zhenwei's intention that she chose to start with her.
"Aunt Lu also knows that I am now the Crown Princess, and the kingdom of Feng Kingdom will be handed over to me sooner or later. I believe Aunt Lu is also clear about what the Queen has done over the years. It is just a temporary solution and it will not last long. Feng Kingdom is now facing internal and external troubles, so it is really not suitable to start a war. Besides, Emperor Shitian is not someone who is easy to provoke. It would be fine if we destroy him in this move, but what if we fail? By then, will Emperor Shitian let Feng Kingdom go?" Ling'er knew that Lu Zhenwei was still a little hesitant, so she added fuel to the fire.
She is Her Royal Highness, the future Queen. So being loyal to her is not treason. For an old minister like Lu Zhenwei who has always claimed to be loyal to the emperor and patriotic, it is important to have a legitimate reason.
After thinking for a moment, Lu Zhenwei did not speak, but stood up and leaned towards Ling'er...
The Thirteen States of Yanglin had a day off, but things were not going well around Emperor Shitian. In just one day, there were many things going on around him, and they were all after Lingtian Sword, which made him understand why the other side withdrew their troops.
However, since the Lingtian Sword was in his hand, unless he died, it would be impossible for others to take it away. Whether the other party tried to rob it openly or secretly, they all failed.
"Waste, a bunch of waste!"
“To reply to your words, sir, Emperor Shi Tian is too powerful. None of the people he sent out can come back alive. I… I really…” Before he could finish his words, he felt his neck tighten, and a pair of hands grabbed his collar fiercely.
The veins on his face were bulging, which looked very scary.
"Please spare my life, sir, please spare my life..."
"Spare my life? You are a piece of trash, what qualifications do you have to beg for mercy from me! You are so useless, it's a waste of food to keep you alive, I might as well give you a ride."
"No, no, no, sir, please spare my life, sir, please spare my life. Please listen to me, sir. I still have a way."
The man in black raised his eyebrows, suddenly loosened his hand, and said coldly: "Speak, if you keep talking nonsense, I will make you live a life worse than death!"
"Yes, yes, thank you, sir. Thank you, sir. You may not know that Emperor Shi Tian's weapon is very strange. It always appears out of thin air, and we have no idea where he puts it. So even if the people we sent out successfully entered the Thirteen States of Yanglin, they would not be able to find the weapon at all."
"Stop talking about these useless things and get to the point."
"Yes, yes, yes. Didn't your Excellency order me to investigate Di Shitian's background yesterday? Although I didn't find anything unusual about his background, I did learn something unexpectedly."
Hearing this, the black-clothed man's eyelashes twitched slightly. Knowing that the lord was interested in this, the master continued: "This Emperor Shi Tian has a very strong poison, and it seems that there is no antidote at all. Although I don't know what poison Emperor Shi Tian has been poisoned by, I have a bottle of medicine that can induce his poison." After saying this, he took out a white porcelain bottle from his sleeve. This thing was sent by Emperor Tianqi.
"As long as you sprinkle this medicine around Emperor Shi Tian during the battle, the poison will take effect on him. As long as you force Emperor Shi Tian to take out his weapon, and then induce the poison to take effect on him, then the things that the lord wants will be easily obtained."
