Tang Yingying was very satisfied with Wu Zhi's appearance, and she wiped her hands with an embroidered handkerchief: "Actually, if you listen to that palace maid obediently, we won't find you so easily. But as the saying goes, the nature of the country is easy to change, and your nature is so that it cannot be changed at all."

Wu Zhi became more and more remorseful and afraid, why was she so self-righteous in the first place? If she hadn't been so self-righteous at the beginning, obediently listened to the palace maid's words, and didn't do those things that shouldn't have been done, she would still be a concubine now, enjoying a noble and good life, and she wouldn't be what she is now.

"It's none of my business, it's none of my business." At this moment, Wu Zhi thought of shirking responsibility: "Cousin, it's really none of my business, it's not me who wants to do these things, it's those people who coerce me, and I have to do it."

"Cousin, you believe me."

Mo Chen didn't look at her much, let alone talk to her: "Daughter-in-law, we should go, there's no need to say anything more to this kind of person."

Tang Yingying nodded in agreement: "You're right, there's no need to say anything more to people like Wu Zhi. Wu Zhi, like her father, is too self-righteous."

"Don't!" Wu Zhi screamed, she kept retreating: "Cousin, please let me live in my aunt's face, I promise not to do anything that I shouldn't do again."

She doesn't want to die!

Tang Yingying admired her ugly and embarrassed appearance now: "Wu Zhi, it's useless for you to beg for mercy, save some effort."

Wu Zhi was unwilling to the extreme, she hated and said, "Tang Yingying, don't think that without me, you can be the regent for the rest of your life, sooner or later my cousin will see your personality clearly."

"So what?" Tang Yingying didn't care much and said, "I'm not like you. I have the Xin family as a backer, and a younger brother who protects me, and I am capable enough that if I am separated from the prince one day, I can live a chic and comfortable life."

"It's a pity you can't see it on this day."

Wu Zhi really couldn't understand, "Why? I think that I, as the cousin of the regent and the daughter of a big family, are better than you in everything and better than you, and because I don't know how to seduce people, I lost so completely."

Tang Yingying smiled faintly: "You know very well why you lost, and why you said such a thing. Or do you think I'd care about something like that? Honestly, there's nothing better than me."

Wu Zhi was blocked and speechless, in fact, she knew very well that Tang Yingying's background was no worse than her, and she was capable.

But that's exactly what she hates.

It stands to reason that she should be the most outstanding and best among women, and the one who enjoys everyone's praise should not be Tang Yingying.

"Alright, I'm done." As soon as Tang Yingying raised her hand, two grandmothers came over, and she ordered, "Send Concubine Lan on the road." Remember to check and don't let people take advantage of it."

She ignored Wu Zhi's begs for mercy and cries, and walked out with Mo Chen.

The two grandmothers took the rope into the cell and stared at Concubine Lan viciously.

Wu Zhi shook her head as she looked for an opportunity to escape.

However, she was seriously injured, where was the opponent of the two grandmothers, and she was pressed to the ground before she could run.

"Let go...... Ahh She tugged hard at the rope around her neck, trying to stop it this way.

One mamma pressed her, and the other mamma pulled the rope hard.

"Concubine Lan, the slave advises you to go on the road earlier. If it is delayed for a long time, it is you who will suffer."

Wu Zhi was unwilling, she begged bitterly: "Please, please let me live, I can give you a lot of silver, enough for you to have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life, please."

The two grandmothers were unmoved.

Wu Zhi grabbed the straw on the ground with one hand, her face gradually turned purple, no, she didn't want to die, who would save her? Who will save her?

No matter how much she doesn't want to die, no matter how much she wants to live, she can't escape death in the end.

The two grandmothers threw Wu Zhi's body to the ground, and after repeated inspections, they were still not at ease, so they cut off her head again before throwing the body to the designated place in the palace, which was handled by a special palace person.

has been arrogant and domineering for more than ten years

Zhi, in the end, there was no body, and there was not even a place to bury her after death, and no one would remember her.

After Tang Yingying and Mo Chen left the palace, the two did not immediately return to the royal courtyard, but prepared to go around the suburbs.

When passing by the city gate, Tang Yingying, who was lying on the carriage window looking at the scenery, accidentally saw Princess Lanyue who was doing things, and she ordered the carriage to stop.

From her point of view, she happened to see Princess Lanyue wearing an anklet carrying stones, and there were many officials guarding her.

The current Princess Lanyue is even worse than a beggar, she can't see a trace of the original brilliance at all, her skin is rough and red, her hair is dirty and dirty, and she still exudes a stench.

Sweat dripped down the ground, and she didn't bother to wipe it, only thinking that although she finished the work, she wouldn't be whipped by the officials.

After these days, she has understood two things, one is that it is very difficult for her to leave, and the other is that the person who saved her must have gone wrong, and she must keep to herself for the time being, otherwise she will die here.

She has not yet ascended the throne and become an empress, so she cannot die.

These days of hard work have made Princess Lanyue's strength much greater, and she doesn't have any noble thoughts. She didn't notice the carriage next to her, and kept carrying rocks.

Tang Yingying motioned to Mo Chen to see Princess Lanyue's situation, and she sneered, "I'm afraid that at this point, Princess Lanyue is still daydreaming there......

Speaking of this, she remembered one thing: "I'm afraid that the people behind the scenes are nowhere to be found, do you still want to keep Princess Lanyue?"

Mo Chen bowed: "The temporary situation is unknown, keep her." However, you can let Princess Lanyue go. I'm sure she'll make trouble in the shortest possible time after letting her go."

Tang Yingying understood what he meant: "In this way, let Princess Lanyue go, maybe we can find out Hang Zhenghao's whereabouts through her, and find out if the people behind the scenes are hopeless."

Mo Chen arranged for the secret guard to deal with this matter, and then continued to take the carriage to the suburbs with Tang Yingying.

The two came to the foot of a mountain and climbed the mountain hand in hand.

Tang Yingying raised her eyes to look at the top of the mountain, and joked, "Speaking of which, you haven't climbed the mountain with me yet, and this is the first time we have climbed the mountain."

Mo Chen found that this was really the case, and instead put his arm around her shoulder: "When everything is settled, I will accompany you to do whatever you want and go wherever you want."

Tang Yingying smiled and said, "Okay. I also want to go to the beach, and then we can stay at the beach for a while and taste the seafood."

Mo Chen listened to her: "Then take a turn outside the plug. We have a lifetime to go to a lot of places, so we don't have to rush."

Tang Yingying stretched out a finger: "The only bad thing is that the transportation is not convenient. It's too uncomfortable to go out and ride in a carriage, and the key is that you have to sit for a long time if you are a little farther away."

Mo Chen knew this: "I'll arrange it in advance. However, it's too early to say that, so we can talk about it."

Tang Yingying also knows this: "Go to the beach, outside the plug, and then go around the beautiful scenery. When we get back, let's look at the map and travelogue and plan where we want to go."

Mo Chen listened to her, the smile on the corner of his lips never broke, such a day is very good.

The two chatted and talked, and bursts of laughter rang out from time to time.

Just as they were having fun, a secret guard landed in front of the couple.

"Princess, Princess." The dark guard saluted and said, "The Liang State has sent an envoy, saying that they want to hold peace talks with our Western Dynasty. This matter was made possible by the national teacher Liang Guo."

"Liang Guoshi?" Tang Yingying looked at Mo Chen.

Mo Chen explained, "Liang has always had the position of national teacher, mainly to listen to the will of God and appease the people. The national teachers have no real power, they all listen to the emperor of the Liang State."

"But there are exceptions, such as the current national teacher of the Liang State, who has supreme power, is above the Emperor of the Liang State, and has extremely high popularity. In comparison, the courtiers and the common people obeyed the national teacher of the Liang State more."

Tang Yingying knew that the Liang State, a dynasty second only to the Western Dynasty in strength, had wanted to attack the Western Dynasty for many years, but had never found a suitable opportunity.

In addition, the Western Dynasty was strong and there were good generals in charge, so Liang did not dare to act rashly

。

"Liang Guo wants to negotiate peace, I'm afraid it's a trick, right? Over the years, Liang Guo has found a lot of opportunities to go to war."

Mo Chen also thought like this: "I'm afraid this matter is also related to Liang Guoshi. Without the consent of this national teacher of Liang, the Emperor of Liang would not have done such a thing."

Tang Yingying understood this, and she wrinkled her brows: "I can't figure this out. This kind of calculation can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye, so why did Liang Guo come like this? Is there an excuse to go to war?"

Mo Chen felt that things were not so simple, he asked the secret guard to investigate this matter, and then said to Tang Yingying: "There are many reasons for starting a war, there is no need to use such reasons, one is not careful, it is easy to ignite ***."

"We'll look into this matter again, it's useless to think about it so much now. If Liang Guozhen sends an envoy to the peace talks, our side will also have to make preparations. Moreover, the other two countries are expected to move as well."

Tang Yingying sighed lightly: "Originally, it looked easy, but now it seems that it can't be easy. The people behind the scenes are silent, but there is movement in several other countries."

Mo Chen led her to continue climbing the mountain: "Why can't it be easier? These things are not handled by us, which courtiers should be handled, and I can grasp the general direction."

Tang Yingying nodded in agreement: "You can't handle everything, you are alone, where can you handle so many things." You will be in control of the general direction, and the rest of the affairs will be handled by those courtiers, lest they have time to engage in trouble."

"In particular, the matter of the envoys of the Liang State will be handed over to these courtiers to deal with, and let them discuss what to do."

She couldn't bear to let her man work so hard.

Mo Chen smiled, "Listen to you. I'll bring it up tomorrow morning."

Tang Yingying and he looked at each other and smiled.

It's night.

Princess Lanyue, who finally returned to Jingci'an, sat in the chair after freshening up and dressing up, she looked at her rough and cracked hands, and she really hated it and her whole body hurt.
