"Without him, there may be others who try to make the most of this chaos." Yue Tang said lightly.
Hong Ding saw that she was not as concerned about military affairs as usual, and asked with some doubts: "Is it feverish and confused?" Isn't this like you? I thought there was always something strong to fight back again? β
Yue Tang sneered: "Fight back against what? β
Hong Ding: "Take back control of Lanxi!" β
Yue Tang sneered even more: "Has the control been lost?" β
Hong Ding immediately: "Of course! Now it's all in Xuehuai's handsβor it's all in the hands of King Hui! This Xue Huai must be the person of King Hui, and he still refuses to admit it. β
But I always felt that he didn't take anything from me.
And even something was given.
But what exactly was given, she didn't know now.
Yue Tang thought so in his heart, so his face was still faint.
Hong Ding was a little anxious: "Finally announced to the public that you have recovered and can fully take charge of military affairs again, right?" β
Yue Tang casually said "um" and said, "You can do it." β
Hong Ding responded, took out a large pile of letters sealed with lilac moonlight flowing water and fire paint from his arms, and said, "I brought them to you." But you didn't watch it before, what's the use of watching it now......"
Yue Tang looked at the seven or eight letters on the table in front of him, those fire paints were like sharp arrows, stained with lilac poison, staring at her gloomily.
"Tsk." Yue Tang opened the letter while talking, Hong Ding consciously stood up and walked away, sat on a chair farther away on the other side, and waited for her to open the letter and wait for instructions, as she had done many times before.
Yue Tang opened it quickly, unwrapping it all one after another, and then reading it one after another. Her complexion had not changed much, Hong Ding couldn't guess whether the contents of the letters were good or bad, he only felt that Yue Tang was very impatient, as if he would tear up all these letters in the next moment.
After a while, after reading the letter, Yue Tang's fingers tapped lightly on the table, and said, "My sister is gone." β
Hong Ding was slightly shocked in his heart.
Yue Rong has many daughters, but the only one who can be called "sister" by Yue Tang is the one who enters the palace as a concubine. This lady lady took care of Yue Tang several times when she was in the mansion in the past, all when she was bullied or when she had no food to eat because she was punished. Yue Tang called the other sisters by their names, but called Concubine Shu "sister".
Hong Ding didn't know about the quarrel between Yue Tang and Concubine Shu in the palace, and thought that Yue Tang cared about this sister very much, so he hurriedly asked, "What does this mean?" How could it suddenly be gone? β
"The palace wants to send all the concubines to be sisters-in-law, and I have arranged to send someone to take her out of the nunnery, change her name and surname and send her to the south to live, and the residence and the money needed in the future are prepared." Yue Tang's face was expressionless, but Hong Ding could see the coldness on her face, and her tone was also cold, "But just two days after entering the nunnery, she died." Yue Tang looked quite amused, "I choked to death after eating a fruit, heh." β
Hong Ding didn't know what to do. He already knew that Concubine Shu's death must have been murdered, and the empress had no reason to murder her, the only possibility was the Yue family themselves - they had never tolerated the survival of a defeated pawn, especially such an abandoned son who knew many secrets but could no longer serve the family.
He wanted to comfort Yue Tang but had no exit. There is no need for these comforting words between them, in the past, when Yue Tang was sad, he went to comfort him, but he was comforted by her mother-in-law.
"She was buried in Yaogui Garden." Yue Tang said again.
Yaogui Garden is the cemetery where all the meritorious sons of the Yue family are buried after their deaths.
"If I die in Lanxi, I will be buried in this garden." Yue Tang smiled coldly, "I can see a lot of vain ghosts, it's really lively." β
Hong Ding lowered his head slightly and did not comment on the general's family affairs.
The rest of the epistle, Hong Ding did not wait for the following. There was silence in the room for a while, and Yue Tang ordered: "Four things, you go and do it." β
