After returning to China, the urban area of Ao Yu has undergone visible changes, and it has made great progress, and has even become a major trading country among neighboring countries.

Although Ao Yu did not have a department in charge of industry like Shenmutang in China, Xiao Mao imitated the process of Shenmutang and formed a team in the palace, thanks to her two months of study.

Chen Qinghuan secretly returned to the palace, Dao Zongyu was overjoyed, and went to the Nine Days Hall to find her as soon as he received the news.

He was so anxious, it was nothing more than those few things, one was the method of making gun/medicine, the second was the new technical drawings, and the third was to hold a grand event for her and officially crown her as the Heavenly Maiden.

However, Chen Qinghuan must have refused one by one, "Xiao Mao, just say that I am dead, and no one will see me." ”

She didn't want to do anything else now except wait for news from Yanguo, so she took out a pen, ink, paper and inkstone after a long absence, and thought about it, as if she hadn't painted for a few years.

Yan Xiaolun has not yet entered Yanguo, but the riot of Yanguo can no longer be suppressed, and there is civil strife in the palace.

The emperor mentioned the matter of going to war again, and the ministers were almost unanimously opposed, so they were now divided into two factions, one was headed by General Wang, who supported the war, and the other was headed by Prime Minister Feng Cheng, who was opposed to war on the surface, but in fact, he was forcing Yanxi to resign Yuanchen as the crown prince, and even had the potential to force the palace.

The contradiction has been placed in front of everyone, the news of Chen Qinghuan's appearance in the Ao Yu Palace has become ***, civil strife broke out, Prime Minister Feng and his faction were the majority, and the soldiers under General Wang had not recovered from their old injuries and were outnumbered, and the emperor was forced to establish Yuanchen as the crown prince.

At such a critical moment, the three princes who were originally killed in battle appeared in front of everyone intact, and returned with Ao Yu's armistice agreement.

There was no time to hide this matter, and Yan Xiaolun had already informed the whole country of the peace proposal without restraint.

Yan Xici can no longer escape, in the face of the declining Yan Guo, in the face of the courtiers who are trying to save everything, he can't still convince himself that he has done nothing wrong, and the dream of revenge has been shattered before it has even begun.

Looking at the high-spirited Xiaolun, he had joy and sadness in his heart, this was the first time he felt the preciousness of lost and regained.

Maybe he is really old, the current world is no longer the world where he can show his strength, and he can't even fight a little woman, what ambition does he deserve.

"Xiao Lun, do you want to be the crown prince?" Yan Xi said weakly, but even if the other party replied that he wanted to do it, what could he do, what else could he change?

Xiao Lun solemnly knelt on the ground and shook his head, "My father has worked too hard all these years, if my father feels tired, let go of everything and rest." ”

Only he still cared if he was tired or not, Yan Xici smiled wryly and muttered to himself, "I believe that Yuanchen will become a Ming Jun." ”

Everything should have come to an end, but he still had one last knot in his heart that he hadn't untied.

"I personally sent an envoy to Ao Yu to fulfill the truce. In the end, he wanted to see Huaxi again, and left with the affection that belonged to her.

The matter of Yanguo reached Ao Yan's ears, and Dao Zongyu didn't have to think about it to know that Chen Qinghuan was making trouble, he came to the Nine Days Hall angrily, and Chen Qinghuan happened to be waiting for him.

"You dare to cut it first, then make a truce? I will never make a truce! It seems that I have been too merciful and indulgent to you, so that you dare to do such a rebellious thing. As soon as he entered, he was scolded with a slash on his head and face, and it seemed that Dao Zong Yu was angry enough.

Chen Qinghuan had already prepared, what she was waiting for was that Yan Guo would admit defeat first, and then she would trade with Dao Zongyu, "How about I exchange the formula of fire/medicine with you?"

As soon as she spoke, Dao Zongyu instantly calmed down, compared to a temporary truce, she didn't have to think about it to know that permanent strength was more important, as long as she was willing to come up with a formula, this matter was not negotiable.

"You're too good at what you want. Dao Zongyu's tone was still fierce, but there was a hint of pride in his heart, his daughter could be so good and easily control the two emperors in her hands, as a father, she was actually satisfied.

Chen Qinghuan waved his hand, Xiao Mao sent a new stack of drawings to Dao Zongyu, she added chips, and also added conditions, "This is a new drawing, to prove that I still have the value of negotiating conditions with you, as long as you promise me to sign the truce contract, after that, I will immediately present the formula with both hands." ”

Dao Zongyu was actually moved, plus the drawings, he would not refuse her conditions, he looked at Xiao Mao, not to mention Chen Qinghuan now, even Xiao Mao's status is rising.

"I promise you, but I have the final say on the duration of this truce. ”

"Good. Chen Qinghuan agreed, anyway, she was not ready to give him the real formula, as long as the matter was certain, it was impossible for Dao Zongyu to break the contract in front of the whole world, regardless of Ao Yu's image.

The matter between Yanguo and Ao Yu has basically been dealt with, and what Chen Qinghuan wants to teach most at this moment is Ningxia, whether it is Ningxia who killed the dragon girl, or Ningxia who turned his back on Ao Yan, they should be punished as they deserve.

She had a new plan.

Yan Xici has already embarked on the road to Ao Yu, and Yan Guo is temporarily replaced by Yuanchen as state affairs.

The chaotic everything is finally going to settle, Yuanchen summoned Xiao Lun today, he sat on the dragon chair, he has completely had the demeanor of the king of a country, in fact, he can make his own decisions about this matter, but if he does not ask Xiao Lun's opinion, he is afraid that he will not be at ease.

"Third brother, do you know that Mu Xun is locked up in the cold palace and is about to go crazy? The past has passed, now you and Qing Huan are safe and sound, the cold palace is a cold and desolate place, I think, let her out of the palace, so that she can live like an ordinary person. ”

Feng Muxun, I haven't heard this name for too long, Xiao Lun has almost forgotten this person, "Big brother speaks, I naturally don't have any opinion, but before she leaves the palace, I want to see her again." ”

"Good. ”

Probably Feng Muxun herself never thought that she would see the light of day again, and she didn't know the news of the return of the third prince, so the moment she walked out of the palace gate, she saw Yan Xiaolun alive in front of her, and her eyes instantly turned red.

"Brother Lun, is it you, are you here to rescue me out?" Feng Muxun wanted to go up and hug him, but was stopped by the guards.

Yan Xiaolun seemed to be smiling, without anger or distress, "It was the eldest brother who let you out of the palace, and I came to see you for the last time, because after that, I will leave Yanguo and go to a place where there is no one with Qinghuan." ”

Of course, what he said was all made up, but just one sentence made Feng Muxun feel a lot of stimulation, her eyes suddenly widened and she shouted: "Impossible, I am the one who has a marriage contract with you!"

Yan Xiaolun turned back into a cold face and turned to leave, today's side was regarded as a return gift for her to instigate her father to slander Qing Huan.

He didn't look at her again, Feng Muxun was still half crazy and half crazy, I don't know if he was pretending to be sympathetic or really crazy.

If she hadn't done anything unreasonable, then whether she pursued what she loved, or obeyed Prime Minister Feng's arrangement to marry her cousin, at least she would get the most basic happiness, and the ending would not be as miserable as now.

It's January again, and in the winter season, the wind in the Western Regions is more fierce than in the Central Plains, mixed with goose feathers and heavy snow, making the whole world white.

Yan Xi has not set foot in Ao Yu for more than ten years, and when he came here again, infinite memories came to his heart, that beautiful woman, who had been by his side every day, and made a vow with him in the snow.

Outside the Nine Days Palace, a circle of palace people probed their brains inside, when Chen Qinghuan first returned to the palace, the palace people were like this, but at that time they were watching her jokes, and now, the palace people only want to see the goddess with their own eyes, and feel that they can receive the blessing of the gods.

"Xiao Mao, is what I said arranged?" Chen Qinghuan finished drawing the last stroke, and still painted a picture of a beauty, but the painting was no longer Sheng An, but a woman in white.

She hopes that the object of her last calculation will be Ningxia, whether it is calculated or calculated by others, she feels that it is too troublesome.

"Just wait for your order, and the news will get out over there. Xiao Mao brought hot tea, and then took away the finished painting for her and put it away.

Chen Qinghuan looked at the sky, and calculated that Yan Xici should have arrived at Ao Chen, "As soon as the matter between Yanguo and Ao Yu is over, you will release the news." ”

"Good. ”

The peace between the two countries is considered a major event in the whole world in recent years, and it is unheard of for the emperor to send an envoy in person.

The truce had been signed, and Chen Qinghuan did not appear at the entire reception banquet, she neither wanted to mock the loser, nor did she disdain to see Dao Zongyu embarrass and postpone his resignation.

Surprisingly, after the matter was completed, Dao Zongyu didn't ask her to get the formula in time, and taking this opportunity, Chen Qinghuan left a piece of waste paper and found an excuse to slip out of the palace.

What happened between Dao Zongyu and Yan Xici was none of her business, and she was not interested in knowing.

In the Ao Yu Palace, Dao Zongyu summoned the eldest princess to go to the main hall, and Dao Ruonuan came dressed up, she has been depressed during this time, not only because of her status plummeting, but more importantly, because of her jealousy of Chen Qinghuan's concubine.

Back then, Dao Ruoshui robbed her of the position of saint, not to mention, in the palace, her father has never been waiting to see herself, she thought that her father was only like this because she was a daughter, and then Dao Ruoshui returned to the palace, his attitude towards her was very different from that of herself, she didn't understand, she grew up beside him since she was a child, why she couldn't compare to a concubine in the eyes of her father.

At this moment, there are only three people in the palace, the father, the mother, and the emperor of Yanguo, Yan Xi, she doesn't know what she was told to do, but the secret that Sheng An has hidden for more than ten years is finally going to be revealed to the world at this moment.
