Chapter 793: The Calm Before the Storm (Part II)

Feng Lanxi's face changed slightly, and she looked at the queen for a few seconds, and said calmly:

"Of course, Your Majesty, as a king, is the key to the survival of the Starlight Empire; As a man, he is the lifelong reliance of his concubines. Therefore, whether public or private, the concubines can only consider everything from the standpoint of His Majesty! ”

Fang Yuqing's face was slightly pale, and she nodded lightly and said, "It's good that you can think like this!" Although the harem is big, there is only His Majesty in his heart, and he can really treat His Majesty as a palace concubine for everything, except for you and Emperor Zhong, the other daughters, this palace is not very relieved! ”

"What if...... Hongu is saying that if ...... When the future empire encounters great changes, the sea of stars enters an eventful autumn, and the young people in the middle of the court are in turmoil, and I am afraid that it will not be too peaceful in this harem! At that point......"

Looking at her cold eyes, Feng Lanxi's heart was awe-inspiring, and she tried her best to say in a calm tone:

"No matter what accident happens, the concubine will only consider the interests of His Majesty, and nothing else! If the queen sends something, just give it orders. ”

"Of course, he and I understand your intentions for Your Majesty!" Fang Yuqing's face softened, "To be honest, when you secretly followed His Majesty out of the Prison Soul Star Sea, this can be said to be the wisest decision in your life!" Your Majesty can rise so quickly, your role is definitely one of the best, and in some aspects, even those military ministers may not be able to match you! ”

"With your support, the Starlight Empire has come to this day, and Your Majesty has grown into the first person in the Star Sea World, it stands to reason that after this battle, the world will be decided, and then it will be time to recuperate! However, there is such a group of people in the government and the opposition who do not want to see His Majesty achieve such a great martial achievement! ”

Feng Lanxi frowned and said, "The concubines have also heard about this matter, but as long as Your Majesty is still there, they won't have the slightest chance!" The concubine said something that shouldn't be said, even if Your Majesty can't be a council member for some reason, isn't there still you? , this situation is impossible to mess up at all, right? ”

Fang Yuqing took a deep look at her:

"Having said that, once the empire is without His Majesty, many things will not be like before! You have been in the palace for so many years, and after several dynasties, there are some things that you know much better than me, so I now plan to take precautions and solve some possible hidden dangers for Your Majesty in advance! ”

"For example, that Yu Xinzhe?" She looked at no one on her left and right, and asked softly:

"I wonder how you think he has a different heart? Is it because ......"

"It's not enough to say that he has different intentions, but you understand the temperament of this famous general, he is not very familiar with human affairs, and he is not sensitive to politics, so I am worried that he will be used by some people with ulterior motives, and he may get into big trouble!" Fang Yuqing walked up to her and patiently explained.

"If that's the case, then there's no need to transfer him around, just keep him at arm's length from those politicians, and for the rest, there's nothing to worry about. No matter how dull he is, he will not fail to understand certain principled issues. Feng Lanxi said.

"Well, this also makes it," Fang Yuqing said, "Actually, what I'm most worried about is not him, but His Majesty's brother, last time that guy saw the opportunity quickly, and actually let him dodge." But he couldn't control his mind, so he had to find a way to settle him! ”

Feng Lanxi muttered: "I'm afraid this is a little difficult, His Royal Highness may really have a different ambition, but after all, he has not put it into concrete action. The law does not punish the heart, it is impossible to do anything to him based on this alone, and if you overdo it, it may cause your majesty's disgust. So...... Let's not have that in mind. ”

"So far, but since ambition has grown, it can't go away for nothing! As long as there is the slightest possibility, he will not give up! Fang Yuqing said coldly, "So this person must be kept an eye on!" Of course, there are a few others, who are not inferior to him in some cases, so they must also take precautions to ensure that no matter what the circumstances, Your Majesty's position will not be affected in the slightest! ”

Feng Lanxi was shocked in her heart, looked at her for a while, and then asked in a low voice, "Is it really necessary to do this?" Have you thought about it, even if everything can go as you wish, if in the end it is not understood by His Majesty, your result will be ......"

With her mind, under the other party's straightforward attitude, if she still doesn't understand what the other party plans to do, it will really insult the title of the great wise man!

In all fairness, perhaps her decision was justified, but from the standpoint of a bystander, such an approach has already overstepped the queen's duty and is likely to be self-defeating in the end, so she said so.

"The result?" Fang Yuqing's expression suddenly became a little gloomy, and she sighed faintly:

"Perhaps! If nothing happens in the end, maybe Your Majesty will really think that I am troublesome, or even self-explanatory! But I don't care about any of that. ”

"You have to understand that we can have our current status because of His Majesty's favor and trust. Only when Your Majesty is here, our position will be guaranteed, and if Your Majesty has an accident, no matter who the new master of the empire is, it will be impossible to give us the same status as now! So, I had no choice! ”

Feng Lanxi couldn't help but be silent, the queen's consideration was exactly what she was worried about, once the country changed hands, they, the queen's concubines, would end up desolate and desolate, either lonely in the cold palace, or directly executed. Even if they are lucky, they may not be able to continue to be favored and reused by the new rulers, and not all the superiors can care about them so much like the current majesty.

"Oh well! What are you going to do, count me in! Feng Lanxi said slowly, "From our standpoint, Your Majesty really can't afford to lose, no matter who wants to fight him, he should disappear!" When necessary, we do not hesitate to use thunderous means! ”

"Very good, with your assistance, I will be relieved!" Fang Yuqing really breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile:

"Now, let's think about it......"

……

The Xiao family's mansion.

"Your Majesty's recent actions seem to be a bit abnormal!"

In the back garden, Xiao Yulin was repairing the bonsai in front of her, and said to Xiao Wuji beside her in a flat tone.

The helmsman of the Xiao family's internal reserve replied solemnly:

"Mother is right, just yesterday, His Majesty the Emperor sent dozens of important ministers out of the imperial capital on a business trip, and there are very few courtiers of sufficient weight who remain in the imperial capital, so I am worried that His Majesty is not carrying out some unknown schemes."

"That's for sure, there must be a demon when things go wrong!" The head of the Xiao family continued the work at hand unhurriedly, "The big war is about to start, the empire will pour its national strength south, and there must be no chaos inside!" Maybe Your Majesty is planning to clean up the interior before the expedition! ”

"As for whether there are other plans, it is unknown!"

Xiao Wuji said: "How Your Majesty thinks about it, that's his business. But that shouldn't make a big difference to us, right? ”

"At present, it seems that there is none, but it is not good to say!" Xiao Yulin sighed softly, "In the past, when Your Majesty went on expeditions, the queen and the prime minister supervised the country together, but this time, I don't know what went wrong with His Royal Highness the Prince, and he actually said that he was sick and was at home, don't you feel a little strange?" Now that the war is imminent, as the head of the cabinet, what does it mean to have a casual meal on the side? ”

Xiao Wuji couldn't help but be surprised, and said, "Could it be that the prime minister has fallen out of favor?" Don't you think so? There is not enough reason, with the temperament of His Majesty, how can he alienate his siblings at will? ”

The head of the family glanced at his son meaningfully, but said nothing.

Slowly, his face changed again: "If the prime minister doesn't care about things, then this time, it should be the queen who will take charge of the country!" Isn't it ...... to us?"

"Then it depends on how long this battle can be fought, right?" Xiao Yulin said lightly.

Xiao Wuji said with undiminished interest: "Even if the battle situation goes well, it will take at least half a year to end, and we have enough time!" Besides, isn't everything we do now planning for the little princess? Some things, if done under His Majesty's nose, will inevitably be taboo, so you can only pick at this time! ”

"Yes! Although His Majesty's strength is unfathomable, after all, he is too young, and there are so many palace concubines in the harem, after a long time, there will always be other heirs. It's too difficult for our little princess to keep that position and take over the country smoothly! The head of the family sighed, "Xiao Wenyue's child is not worrying, his sister can be said to be isolated in the palace, I wanted her to go in too, and I can help the queen when I have something, but I don't want her to ......"

Xiao Wuji said: "If she really doesn't agree, forget it, there are still many unmarried women in the family with excellent qualities, maybe find an opportunity to let Your Majesty meet, maybe she can get his attention!" ”

"Let's talk about this later," Xiao Yulin put down the tools in his hand and washed his hands again before saying to him:

"You've had to take care of those unsuccessful children recently, and at this critical moment, you can't let them cause trouble for the family! Wait until Your Majesty sets out on the expedition......"

Speaking of this, she pondered for a long time before she said with some emotion: "Let's think hard and pave the way for the princess, but whether she has the luck to take over His Majesty's inheritance depends on the will of heaven!" ”

……

"I don't know how many people will die in this layout!"

In the restaurant, Yun Tianque was unhurriedly cutting the beef kidneys on the plate, the snow-bright table knife was calm and powerful, and the smooth blade surface shone brightly under the illumination of the light.

Song Guangyu slowly drank a glass of aperitif and asked cautiously: "Your Majesty should have sensed the plot of those people, and intends to create an opportunity for them to jump out and stir up the wind and rain before setting out on the expedition, and then suddenly launch it to wipe them out!" Is that right? ”

"You can say that, but ......" Zhou Mengde gently shook the wine in the crystal glass and said leisurely:

"Your Majesty has set up such a situation, I'm afraid you will be satisfied with killing more than a few people, right? What kind of idea he has in his heart, I don't know, it depends on how Brother Yun analyzes his grandson's thoughts! ”

Permir. Augustine put down the knife and fork in his hand and said seriously: "No matter what Your Majesty plans to do, we don't need to speculate too much, as long as we are cautious in our words and deeds and don't cause trouble, there will be a monstrous wind outside, and it won't affect us, will it?" ”

"Having said that, how can you be alone in the court?" Song Guangyu smiled bitterly, "Your Majesty's intentions, if we can't figure it out, if there is a disaster at that time, but we don't know what the problem is, then it will become a laughing stock in the court!" ”

Yun Tianque looked at a few world friends, and said with a calm expression:

"Why should you worry? His Majesty's intentions, we may not be able to guess for a while, but we can analyze them from the actions of the people around him! ”

"For example......" Yun Linjie looked at him expectantly.

"For example, the prime minister is idle, and the two queens are all staying in the imperial capital to supervise the administration of the country this time," the head of the Yun family said calmly:

"Judging by what he meant, he planned to let Fang Yuqing be the knife wielder, and of course, he didn't have the intention of spying on certain forces and families. If they can be self-aware, they know how to advance and retreat, if they are still restless, this knife will fall, but it doesn't matter if you are Your Majesty's ...... or not."

Several family heads had a somewhat unnatural expression, Fang Yuqing's heart was ruthless, they had already learned it as early as the Shuofeng Empire, in comparison, Yun Haoyu was actually easier to deal with, because he was still reasonable many times, as long as he didn't make mistakes on matters of principle, he didn't really care about those trivial things.

As for this queen with half of the Bojiang bloodline, she is a master who can't rub a little sand in her eyes, and if she is a little disobedient, the butcher's knife will fall without hesitation, no matter what background you have and what kind of exploits you have, anyway, killing you is not negotiable!

"You don't have to worry too much, Your Majesty's target this time is not ours," Yun Tianque continued, "A storm like this can't blow for too long, just wait for this battle to be over, Your Majesty will terminate the purge, and the next thing is to pacify!" As for us, as long as we take care of the people below, don't let them come out and make trouble, and then sit on the sidelines and watch the show with peace of mind! ”

……

No matter what the major forces think of His Majesty's actions, the scheduled date of departure is getting closer and closer.

On April 11, nearly a month before the official start of the war, Yu Xinzhe of the Southwest Xinghai suddenly launched a surprise attack on the border. In just half a day's effort, the defense line was torn apart.

Then, this famous general commanded fifteen main integrated corps to form a southwest attack group to attack non-stop, tearing further gaps, and then investing superior forces to expand the results of the battle, and strive to destroy all resistance forces in this area in the shortest possible time!

The long-awaited decisive battle has finally broken out!
