As soon as Lu Ru said this, Fu'er's eyes suddenly turned red, although she was still young back then, but she still vaguely remembered that when she was in the palace, the imperial concubine often invited herself and her mother to play, although the memory was very vague, but that warm embrace she never forgot.
Although Lu Ru is not very old, her life in this palace has made her mentality grow old rapidly, and Li Hui's 'death' was also a big blow to her back then, so although she is not very old, she is already quite old!
Of course, he is also clear about these Fei Ling, so he has a lot of respect for Lu Ru in his heart, and Lu Ru does have something to find Fei Ling when he comes over today.
"The old slave has been discussing with Lotus Ye for this time, we plan to find a suitable opportunity to talk to Your Majesty, let one of the two of us come over and follow the eldest princess, I just don't know if the eldest princess dislikes it~~!"
In fact, according to the rules, after the death of the imperial concubine, the subordinates around her could follow Feiling, but at that time, Duanmu Shuxuan directly left the subordinates who served Li Hui by his side one by one, and at the beginning he just entered the palace and nothing went smoothly, plus Duanmu Shuxuan's grief Lu Ru was also very clear, so she didn't propose to return to Feiling's side, but now because of the appearance of that Yu Zhaoyi, the old people around Li Hui felt humiliated, so it was inevitable that he was a little unhappy in his heart, but he was not happy that the other party was also the emperor, so Lu Ru and the others discussed it in private, planning to find an excuse to come to Feiling here first.
"I'm afraid this won't work~~!" Fei Ling said with a frown after hearing what Lu Ru said.
Although it is said that his father is now pampered by Yu Zhaoyi, but it is not Feiling boasting, that Yu Zhaoyi is not as good as a small fingernail of her mother in her father's heart, she can climb onto her father's bed by relying on a face similar to her mother, but she knows very well that her mother is not like other women, she uses beauty to get her father's heart, and her mother completely conquered her father because of her ability and her personal charm, so now it seems that Yu Zhaoyi is very favored by her father, but in fact, when her father's freshness has passed for a while, I am afraid that there will be no good end。
But Lu Ru's things here are not easy to do, don't look at Lu Ru they are just subordinates, but it also depends on whose subordinates, the mother concubine was really good to those people under her hands, and more importantly, the mother concubine has been carefully cultivated by her cronies, it can be said that those people have the ability to take charge no matter who they are, and they know this very well, and the father is also clear, so this is one of the reasons why the father will keep those people by his side back then.
"Why?" Lu Ru asked a little strangely, but she also knew that although she was still shrewd, she would never let the eldest princess be wise, so she would come to the eldest princess to discuss it after she had such a plan.
"Father won't let any of you go~~!" Fei Ling shook his head and said: "And you have been taking care of this father's diet and daily life since you entered the palace, so no matter what aspect you think about, it is impossible for your father to let you go, and it is impossible for your father to rest assured that you will be handed over these personal services to others~~!"
Fei Ling said this, Lu Ru was silent, because she knew that Fei Ling was right, these people seemed to be doing some inconspicuous things, but each of them had a direct or indirect relationship with His Majesty's diet and daily life, and they were all with the imperial concubine back then, and what kind of character His Majesty had in his heart, so he had been relieved to let them control these things for so many years.
"But~~!The eldest princess is here~~~!" Lu Ru said a little unwillingly, but she was interrupted by Fei Ling before she could finish speaking.
"I know that my aunt has always had me in her heart, but in this place, we can't do whatever we want~~~!" Fei Ling smiled and then said: "But it's not bad right now, it's all in the harem anyway, and my father won't detain me, so it's not difficult to see my aunt~~!"
Hearing this, Lu Ru also knew that this thing could not be done, but when he turned his head and thought about it, it was just like what the eldest princess said, everyone is still in this palace at the moment, coupled with His Majesty's favor for the eldest princess, they are not difficult at all, so there is no need to make His Majesty unhappy in order to stay by the eldest princess's side now.
Lu Ru accompanied Fei Ling to talk for a while, and then left, although this time she didn't do what she wanted to do, but she also knew that this thing was in a hurry, but now although there is no chance, but the eldest princess she will marry one day, and when she goes to ask Your Majesty again, Your Majesty will agree nine times out of ten, and she is not in a hurry when she understands this.

General Li won the first battle in Qingshui City, and the news of destroying more than 5,000 enemy cavalry, in fact, Duanmu Jing received the news earlier than his father, and when he saw such a news, he was even more confident in his heart, General Li led 50,000 elite soldiers, and he still has an army of 200,000 here, as long as General Li can hold out until his arrival, this war will not be lost on his side.
And judging from the current news, General Li fought such a big victory as soon as he came up, although it is not certain who will die in the end, but at least this start is really good, and Nanshu really needs a victory to defend the dignity of the country. Therefore, after receiving this news, Duanmujing ordered a rapid march to rush to the border in the shortest possible time.
And now Qingshui City is not at all like the scene of the bloody battle that everyone imagined, although there are more than 100,000 Dayue troops outside the city, but they are desperately rejected outside Qingshui City, and now Qingshui City completely seems to have changed its appearance, on the originally tall city wall, there are now eight cannons, that is, these eight artillery, forcing Dayue's army to move forward.
"Mr. Wind~~!This thing is really a good thing~~~!" General Li touched a cannon with his hand, as if he was caressing his most beloved woman, and the greed in his eyes could not be concealed at all.
"If it weren't for the good things, I wouldn't have borrowed them from the general~~!" Mr. Feng said with a smile as if he didn't see the greed in the other party's eyes at all.
General Li glanced at Mr. Feng and opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, because when Mr. Feng brought back these eight cannons, he directly said that these eight cannons were borrowed from the eighteenth master of the Huo family, if Mr. Feng said that this thing was from someone else's hands, he would definitely get it back as soon as possible, but these things are the things of the eighteenth master, you must know that the master is a person who he doesn't dare to provoke even if he is himself.
"I just didn't know where the Eighteenth Master got such a good thing~~!" General Li patted the cannon beside him and said, his lowered eyes concealing the true thoughts in his heart now.
The corners of Mr. Feng's mouth were disgusted with a trace of ridicule, of course he understood General Li's intentions, the identity of the Eighteenth Master made him dare not directly ignore these artillery, but he could directly tell His Majesty about this thing, even if the Eighteenth Master was powerful at that time, it would not be greater than His Majesty's, and maybe it would cause trouble because of this.
"From there, the things of the Eighteenth Master are all from overseas, and this thing was finally brought back from overseas, because it was too heavy, so a total of twenty doors were pulled over, eight of which were borrowed by me, and the remaining ten were loaded on his own ship by the Eighteenth Master, and two of them should be in the capital at this time~!" Mr. Feng stood on the city wall and looked at the dense Dayue military camp opposite.
Mr. Feng's words fell on General Li's ears, not to mention how aggrieved he was in his heart, but fortunately, he also knew that the current situation did not allow him to be distracted, so after determining that these eight artillery pieces had nothing to do with him, what he wanted to do was how to use these things in his hands to win this war as much as possible, as long as he could win, then he would not get less.
With such a thought, General Li changed his previous conservative tactics, and began to take the initiative to attack by relying on these cannons and repeating crossbows in his hands, and although the troops on Dayue's side were stronger than those of Nanshu, they were also greatly damaged by this advanced weapon, and they completely lost their previous momentum!
Duanmu Jing marched for more than half a month to arrive at Qingshui City, and when he came to Qingshui City, he found that this battle was completely different from what he had expected.
"This is the artillery that the general mentioned in the letter?" Duanmu Jing asked in surprise as he looked at the big man on the city wall.
"Exactly~~!" General Li stood behind Duanmu Jing and said with a somewhat smug expression: "Prince, the shells fired by this artillery can hit targets two miles away, and it can be said that Dayue's army has not yet hit the range of their archers, and it is already within our attack range!"
Hearing this, Duanmu Jing was also very surprised in his heart, and for a while, he was thinking about when this big moon would be able to attack quickly, and then he would be able to see how powerful this artillery was~!
Duanmujing was happy here, but Da Yue's side was miserable, in the big tent in the center of the barracks, all the generals of Da Yue's expedition this time were sitting there, everyone was already looking sad, and even Kamdo's arm was still wrapped in a bandage, he was injured in the raid on the first day, and was shot in the arm by a repeating crossbow, and the arrow was specially made and covered with barbs, and in order to take out the arrow, the military doctor dug up a piece of meat on his arm.
"General, what are we going to do this time? If we continue like this, our grain and grass won't be able to last~~!" The quartermaster whispered on the side, Da Yue has always treated Nanshu in the way of war, so he is also used to not bringing so much grain and grass, and Nanshu must be very rich, but now they are hundreds of thousands of troops to be rejected from the Nanshu border, and the daily chewing of these hundreds of thousands of troops is a terrible number, if it goes on like this, there is no need for Nanshu to make a move, and his side will not be able to hold on first!
For the current situation, it can be said that the generals on the side of Dayue can be said to be in a collective confusion, you must know that the current situation has never appeared, not to mention the defeat of those big cities in the past, at least it is definitely not a problem to take this small Qingshui City, but now, their army of hundreds of thousands is directly blocked outside, not to mention, even the cavalry that they have always been proud of cannot play any role in this war, in fact, it is not right, and it cannot be said that it does not play a role, at least the cavalry is much faster than those ordinary soldiers when they escape!
"General~~!We can't go on like this~~!If it doesn't work, we're attacking once, and this time we must take Qingshui City~~!" Camdo sat there and bit and said, originally he was thinking about catching this battle and making a lot of money, but he didn't expect that the benefits were not reaped, but he almost folded his own, and now he felt pain when he thought of the more than 5,000 cavalrymen who died in the sneak attack, you must know that more than half of these 5,000 cavalry are elite soldiers who have worked hard to cultivate!
"That's a nice thing to say~~!" A general sitting on the other side sneered and said: "Right now, those weapons that the Nanshu Kingdom has come up with are so powerful, our side is completely in the point of being beaten passively, I'm afraid that even if we use human lives, it will be difficult to take this small Qingshui City!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole big tent became quiet, they must have suffered a big loss in this this time, especially the eight big barrels placed on the wall of Qingshui City, every time as long as the iron balls spewed out, they would take the lives of many soldiers, even if they were a little lucky, it would definitely end up with a broken hand and foot, and they would have no combat effectiveness at all.
It can be said that the current war has completely entered the dilemma of Dayue, who wants to attack but has no way to compete with the opponent's sharp new weapons, but if they want to retreat, they will go out with an army of more than 100,000 but end up in a state of disgrace, which makes them go back to the point of dealing with it~!
