Chapter Twenty-Four: Drifting Away

After a while, the sword edge turned, time seemed to have slowed down, Liu Nianru gently waved the sword, step by step seemed to step on a meteor, raising the sword to pierce the moonlight, everyone followed the breath, the sword had left her hand, and flew towards the guard, the guard was already stunned, and even the sword had returned to the sheath without realizing it.

"Good, very good! Sure enough, the tiger father has no dog girl. The emperor took the lead in clapping his hands, looking at Liu Nianru with satisfaction, I don't know how much sincerity and how much drama there is.

"It's ugly." Liu Nianru lowered her head and said.

She took a long breath, she wanted to be like Qingling, and she would retire after the performance, but who knew that the emperor still didn't give up: "You are so powerful, you have won my heart, so give General Liu's daughter Liu Nianru the title of the lord of Zhanlin County, and from now on, she will enter General Liu's camp to help me train more soldiers."

Liu Nianru didn't know how to deal with it, and subconsciously looked at Duan Bailan, hoping that he could help him out of the siege, but saw Duan Bailan nodding, which he also agreed.

For some reason, she didn't have a good impression of the emperor, so she didn't want to help him train soldiers. It's just that the king's fate is difficult to do.

"The courtiers obey." Liu Nianru had to agree.

"The Lord of Zhanlin County is so good, it is better to take it for a period of three months, after March, I will accept the results, if the soldiers you bring can't beat General Liu's personal training, then I will punish you." The emperor spoke again.

You have to ask Liu Nianru what she thinks, Liu Nianru only thinks that this emperor is simply brazen and oppresses people with imperial power at will. It's just that looking at the other people, it seems like I'm used to it.

How to punish her?

"Yes." Liu Nianru replied and had to retreat.

This banquet was tasteless, but fortunately, except for Liu Nianru and Qingling, the others did not receive special attention from the emperor, so they were quite happy. The happiest person is General Liu, because Liu Nianru is under his camp, which means that he can have a chance to ease the relationship between them.

It's just that some people are happy, but some people are not happy - Liu Nianru turned her head, but saw Liu Wanyan looking at a man with a yearning face.

The man was dressed in dark blue, and he looked very stable, with a somewhat childish demeanor.

"That's Xiao Yan, the Seventh Prince, what's the matter, are you interested in him?" Duan Bailan noticed that Liu Nianru's gaze turned to other men, and hurriedly explained.

"Oh, it was him." Liu Nianru narrowed her eyes thoughtfully.

If she is not mistaken, then Liu Wanyan has always been thinking about the Seven Princes and is determined to be the Seventh Imperial Princess. It's just that according to Liu Wanyan's concubine background, she will be a side concubine at most, which is still due to General Liu's childlessness and hard work.

However, the Seven Princes may not like him.

"Now the court is divided into two factions, one is the princelings and the other is the Seven Princes." Duan Bailan wanted to talk to Liu Nianru about the government, but saw Liu Nianru yawn.

"Is this the case with all imperial families? It's either the princelings or the princes, but there are other outstanding princes vying for the throne? Choose two into one, this probability is too big, it's not competitive. Liu Nianru said.

Duan Bailan couldn't help laughing: "The mother family of the other concubines has either been cut by the emperor, or the prince himself is not capable enough, not to mention that the emperor's heirs are thin, and several princes have died young, and it is already rare to have two people compete for the throne."

If these words are heard by others, it will inevitably make people think that he is crazy, and even think that the number of people in the battle for the prince is small.

Can you ever know that one will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither.

"I see, does the Seven Princes have a favorite?" Liu Nianru asked.

She wanted to know what kind of person Liu Wanyan was thinking about, who could make her vicious concubine make that yearning for a beautiful expression.

But when Duan Bailan heard this, he changed his taste, and he said to Liu Nianru seriously: "I haven't heard of any girl that the Seven Princes like, but I heard that there are a lot of confidants among the Seven Princes."

Liu Nianru was not surprised, and after a while, her thoughts were already drifting away.

Finally waited for the end of this banquet, she followed behind Duan Bailan, and was about to return to the house, but saw Qing Ling standing at the gate of the palace waiting for the two of them.

Her eyes were red, and she knew she had cried hard when she saw it.

"Lu Gong, is he okay?" Qing Ling stepped forward and asked.

Duan Bailan said coldly: "He's dead."

Qingling's tears fell uncontrollably, not to mention Duan Bailan, even if it was replaced by other people, it would be difficult not to be compassionate, what a cute little county lord.

"Brother Duan!" Qing Ling called Duan Bailan and shouted unwillingly.

Duan Bailan ignored her, beckoned Liu Nianru to get into the carriage, and said to Qing Ling indifferently: "Don't call me Brother Duan in the future, Qing Ling, from the moment you asked the emperor for marriage, there is no longer anything between us."

He understood that Qing Ling wanted to be with him, it was nothing more than that she wanted to replace Lu Gong and continue to spy on him.

He had never shied away from or concealed anything, but then she realized that she was no longer the carefree little girl, and that she was thoroughly involved in these struggles. After all, she is also a member of the royal family, and she has the blood of the Xiao family in her body.

"I see." Qingling closed his eyes in pain, as if he didn't want to accept all this.

When her lover dies and her relatives break up, what does she have to do to be able to accept this.

The carriage of the palace gradually drifted away and gradually disappeared from Qing Ling's sight.

"I'm going to General Liu tomorrow to report on the training, Duan Bailan, I'll list those plans today, you just follow the training, I'm afraid I won't have time to supervise the situation in the palace." Liu Nianru said.

At this banquet, the emperor's reaction really surprised her.

It's that she doesn't actually like training soldiers, it's just a skill for survival.

"It's okay, here in the palace, I will arrange everything." Duan Bailan said gently.

Liu Nianru was relieved at this time, and her eyebrows and eyes gradually stretched, but after a while, she didn't know where the iQue had gone.

Duan Bailan only looked at her quietly, as if she was looking at a beautiful portrait.

Liu Nianru was named the lord of the forest and received the emperor's order to train, General Liu was very happy, I thought that I could pull into the father-daughter relationship, but I never thought that my daughter was a desperate thirteen lang, and every time she was blocked back on the grounds that she was busy with official business, she trained for half a month, and Liu Nianru never saw General Liu.

It's just that although she didn't see General Liu, she saw Liu Wanyan.

It was a sunny day, and Liu Nianru still remembered the drawings, but she was stopped by Liu Wanyan at the gate of the barracks.
