Gan Peilin had just entered the Prime Minister's Mansion with his front foot, and he hadn't walked back to his room yet.

The ladies of the mansion all hurried over, all of them as earthy as they were, and they were terrified.

It seems that these days, they are spending their days in fear.

Chen Rui moved quickly, rushed into the inner room before them, and said to Gan Peilin in his ear: "King Yeqing has released the son of the Xu family. At this time, he had been taken back to the Xu Mansion by the people of the Xu family. It is said that the injury is not light. ”

"It's good if people are fine, and injuries can be healed slowly. When his injuries healed, there should be news of triumph from his grandfather's side. ”

"Yes." Chen Rui nodded. "Miss, don't worry, the slave has been keeping an eye on Ji Yang's side, and once there is news, he will fly the pigeon back immediately."

Seeing that Chen Rui could cheer up, Gan Peilin was very relieved. "Of course I'm relieved to have you there."

Liulan walked over quickly, frowned, and said, "The eldest lady is back." Princess Zhen and they all want to see you. ”

"Please come in." Gan Peilin nodded to Chen Rui: "You go and do your business." ”

When Princess Zhen came in, her face was sallow. It looks like the spirit and complexion are not good.

"These days, I've suffered you." Gan Peilin sighed slightly and said, "Fortunately, there is nothing to do now." ”

"You still say it's okay...... What about Jiang Yu? Princess Zhen asked with a strained face, "Why didn't he come back with you?" ”

"He went to Jiyang." Gan Peilin raised his eyebrows: "At present, there is an emergency in various places, and as the prime minister, he also serves as the governor of the capital, so he naturally wants him to take responsibility." ”

Hearing her say this, a big stone in her heart can be regarded as landing.

These days, the Queen Mother has taken over the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the Mansion can't send any news. She didn't know what happened after Yin left the Prime Minister's Mansion. I've been nervous. Now that he knows that Jiang Yu did not fight Yin, his heart is a little steady.

"But ......," Zhen said, still with red eyes, "but he hasn't taken a good look at our children." ”

"When he comes back, he will take good care of you." Gan Peilin said.

Ao Li was also anxious, and hurriedly asked, "Madame, do you have any news from the Ao family?" Before the incident, Ao Su and Ao Min both went to the west, and the fighting was fierce, and I don't know what happened to them now. And Da Sima, did you go to the west to respond? ”

Gan Peilin thought of Su Qizhe's words, and his heart was a little uncertain. "I really don't know much about the war."

Ao Li wanted to continue to ask again, but it was Gan Peilin who spoke first.

"Queen Mother...... It's up. As soon as Gan Peilin said this, the ladies suddenly understood something.

"There's a bit of chaos in the palace right now." Gan Peilin sighed faintly: "I'm also coming back to report peace and get some clothes." Later, I will enter the palace and take care of the new emperor for my husband. Everything in the house will be handed over to the second aunt and the third aunt to continue to take care of. Princess, as long as you take care of yourself and your children, and wait for your husband to come back, it is the best plan. ”

The ladies looked at Gan Peilin, who was calm and relaxed, and they also knew it in their hearts.

One by one, they bowed, and then each of them withdrew.

In the inner room, only Princess Zhen and the two aunts remained.

"After this incident, it is not difficult for you to find out." Gan Peilin picked up the teacup, sipped his mouth slightly, and continued: "The future of the husband is related to our life and death. Therefore, we must do our best to clear the obstacles for our husband and ensure the stability of the Prime Minister's Mansion, so that he can do what he wants to do with peace of mind. ”

Ao Li and Cuiyun glanced at each other and nodded again and again.

Gan Peilin's gaze fell on Princess Zhen's face. "The western frontier is ready to go. The Kingdom of Chen is also part of the Western Kingdoms, and no one can say what will happen when the time comes...... The princess has a special identity, and I am afraid that I will have to think about it in advance when the time comes. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Zhen couldn't help but get angry: "Are you afraid that I will secretly contact my mother's family, which will be bad for my husband?" Or do you still suspect that I'm a spy of the Tatsu Kingdom? ”

"I'm asking you to choose your own position, where you should stand is the most important thing." Gan Peilin looked at her: "Or, you can directly give Chen Guo a letter of resignation and persuade them to negotiate peace or even become ministers." Once the kingdom of Chen withdraws from the alliance of all countries, the husband will definitely send heavy troops to guard it, and he will not let your relatives suffer. ”

"Gan Peilin, do you know what you're talking about?" Zhen couldn't help but be excited: "You want me to persuade my father to surrender to my husband, and also to be a vassal and evacuate from the alliance of countries!" What has become of the kingdom of Chen? Isn't it the same as eating inside and out? You're a strong man. ”

"The concubine thinks that what Madame said is right." Ao Li's face froze, and his tone was slightly majestic. "Princess, as early as the day you came here and married Xiangye, you should have foreseen that you would encounter such a choice today. If Chen Guo refuses to negotiate and refuse to be a minister, doesn't the princess know about the temper of the prime minister? Xiangye, but he is a good hand at slaughtering the city. ”

"What did you say!" Standing up violently, I only felt dizzy.

Cuiyun had no choice but to symbolically help Princess Zhen. "It's all a family, and if you have something to say, say it slowly. The princess has just given birth, and her body has not yet recovered, so don't be so excited. ”

Zhen shook off her hand, glared at Gan Peilin, and said angrily: "How could I open this mouth to my father and my imperial brother? They are all heroes who fought bloodily. How could it be for me to become a bear with his tail between his legs! ”

"Don't think so, princess." Gan Peilin breathed a sigh of relief before saying: "The West has been in the west for many years, and it has indeed become the most troublesome trouble for my dynasty. But over the years, the people on both sides have been fighting and confronting each other, and it is the people on both sides who have suffered in the end. Negotiation or peace is a good way to settle once and for all. Wouldn't it be nice for the people on both sides to recuperate and live a simple and peaceful life? Moreover, the husband we married was not a hero on the battlefield. But once you go to the battlefield, it's a life and death that you don't give in to each other. Think about it, would you like to see that? ”

Zhen Gong took the initiative to move his lips, and finally said something.

She didn't want to see such a situation, but she was not sure that she would be able to surrender to the attached kingdom of Chen.

"This matter has not yet reached a crisis point, and there may be time for you to think about it." Gan Peilin sighed slightly: "Think about it yourself." ”

"Is the husband going to go directly to the west from Jiyang?" Zhen asked with a frown.

"Yes." Gan Peilin nodded: "Lu Yao has already brought someone to answer." It is a bit far from Jiyang to the west. If it's freezing today, it's really not easy to walk. But...... Once they meet, no one can say what the consequences will be. ”

"I see." Zhen got up and walked away without looking back.

Ao Li was worried in her heart, and wanted to ask something, but seeing that Gan Peilin's face was not very good, she got up and saluted her: "I'll go and get some food first, Madame is also tired, it's better to take a shower and change clothes first, and rest for a while." ”

Before Gan Peilin could say anything, he saw the little guy next to Ao Li breaking in.

"What is so reckless?" Ao Li couldn't help but worry when he saw him come in like this.

"Ao Fu ...... Ao Fu sent a message and said...... Second son...... Killed on the battlefield. The little guy stammered.

"Ao Xuan......" When Ao Li heard this, his eyes were suddenly dark, and the whole person fell to the ground with his head up.

Xiao Wu and Cuiyun hurriedly pounced on her and held her up.

"Sister Ao, what's wrong with you, you must hold on!" Cuiyun was frightened, and hurriedly ordered the little servant to invite Langzhong.

Gan Peilin looked at Ao Li very calmly, she didn't believe that Ao Su would die so easily.

"Madam, this ......" Cuiyun glanced at Gan Peilin with some embarrassment.

"Let's send the second aunt and wife back first." Gan Peilin said: "Let the queen accompany her back to Ao Mansion to have a look." You should take care of the affairs of the house first. Something is wrong, someone sent a letter to the palace to me. ”

"Yes." Cuiyun nodded slightly, accustomed to Gan Peilin's indifference.

Sometimes, she even felt that the reason why Jiang Yu liked Gan Peilin was because they were all the same indifference in their bones.

Everyone withdrew, and Liulan served a hot meal. "Miss, are you hungry? The swallow went to take care of the clothes to be brought into the palace. The slave and maid have prepared some food, so try it. ”

"I'm not trying to embarrass Princess Zhen, but this matter will have to be faced sooner or later." Gan Peilin's heart tightened, this was not for Liulan, but for himself.

"The eldest lady means the new emperor?" Liulan Minjue guessed her mind at once.

"yes." Gan Peilin sighed: "I always have to face this matter. The new emperor is young, but he will always grow up. Do you guess Jiang Yu will be able to let him live until that time? ”

"Miss, let Xiangye decide this matter for himself." Liulan's face was embarrassed: "Let's take care of the ...... now"

"Only then did a little guy report it, saying that Ao Su ...... Killed on the battlefield. Gan Peilin could clearly feel Liulan's body trembling, and his face turned pale for a moment.

"Don't worry." Gan Peilin hurriedly said: "Chenguo was attacked by a sneak attack, I suspect that this matter was done by Ao Xuan." Presumably he used the golden cicada's strategy of shedding its shell. And now that Ao Jiajun is in command of Ao Min, Ao Min's thoughts, he must know better than anyone else, and it is impossible for the other party to take advantage of loopholes. ”

Only then did Liulan come to her senses: "What the eldest lady said is that the general can't die on the battlefield so easily. ”

"You still care about him." Gan Peilin sighed: "Why don't you go ......"

"Nope." Rulan shook her head and laid out the meal. "The slave just didn't expect such a thing, and it was hard to accept it for a while. I won't see him again. ”

"Ryulan." Gan Peilin frowned: "There are many things in life. Just like Princess Zhen and I are doing now, we have to accept the situation we don't want to see. Sometimes you don't have a choice, but sometimes you ...... You can choose it. Ao Xuan, he will be broken in my hands, if you really look uncomfortable, go away. You don't have to deal with it. ”

"The slave is the slave of the eldest lady. From that day on, the eldest lady's command was the mission of the slave. Liulan handed the chopsticks to Gan Peilin: "The food is not delicious when it is cold." ”
