watched the caravan leave, and watched his son's figure disappear at the end of the road. How could Liu Yunxiang not be worried and not panic, she was eager to catch up and accompany him to Lingnan, but she couldn't go.

Yan Twilight is in front, and she needs to take care of everything in the back so that he is not distracted.

After another year, the Lingnan War finally ushered in a turning point, the Southern Jin Dynasty spent huge financial and manpower in Darong, the treasury was empty, the courtiers began to oppose the dispatch of troops to Darong, there were different voices in the country, and then because of the flood, the court had no money, unable to help, and then civil unrest broke out.

Because of the civil unrest, the Southern Jin Dynasty could only draw troops from the Lingnan battlefield, and morale was frustrated, and Darong seized this opportunity to counterattack. It took less than half a year to finally beat the Southern Jin Dynasty back to its own border.

Yan Du did not give up, led the troops to surround the North Pass of the Southern Jin Dynasty, and blasted it open with ten unicorn cannons, which made the Southern Jin Dynasty panic, and the army abandoned the North Pass and fled south.

They fought all the way, and captured two cities in succession, and then the war was suspended.

Da Rong did not slaughter the people of the Southern Jin Dynasty, but he blasted these people out of the city and burned the two cities he captured.

The fire burned for a full month, burning the backbones of the Southern Jin Dynasty, and they could no longer straighten their waists in front of Da Rong.

In this way, Yan Du led the troops back to Lingnan.

When the news came back to the court, the officials were excited, the people praised it, and the whole country rejoiced.

When she got the news, Liu Yunxiang was in Shengjing, but she couldn't be happier. Because Lu Changan came back, he returned to Beijing first.

And he came back with a large army, and as soon as he came back, he surrounded Shengjing.

Liu Yunxiang didn't even have time to see him, so he was imprisoned in the palace by his people. She expected that something would happen soon, and as she expected, the emperor abdicated and passed the throne to the four princes.

The courtiers objected, but those who objected were immediately cut down.

After the four princes ascended the throne, the first thing was to order Yan Du's class to return to the court, if he refused to come back, it would be a disobedience to the decree and would be punished for the crime of rebellion.

The situation in the court has changed, and Liu Yunxiang is confined in the palace, but she is not unable to go out. At night, Zijin took her out over the wall, and she and the kite escorted her to the Lingyun grain store.

Although Lu Changan sent troops to surround the palace, in fact, the guards were not strict, he seemed to just want to tell her: stay in the mansion well, don't get involved in outside affairs.

In the backyard of the grain shop, Wu Min, Lord Wu, Xue Changfeng and Hongxuan were all there.

When she passed, the three of them all looked dejected, and Lu Changan's move really caught everyone off guard.

"It seems that the emperor has long distrusted Poor Dao, and he didn't let Poor Dao know about his succession to the four princes." Hongxuan spread his hands.

"On that day, the court received the good news of Lingnan's counterattack on the Southern Jin Dynasty, and the courtiers were dancing, but the emperor announced that he was not in good health and passed the news to the four princes. Some ministers objected, and they were immediately taken off their black gauze hats. Wu Min sighed.

Xue Changfeng snorted, "My position as the commander of the camp in the suburbs of Beijing has also been withdrawn. ”

Liu Yunxiang brought tea to the three of them, and then calmly analyzed: "Obviously, Lu Changan has already conspired with Qin Shengrui, and when the war is about to end, they will quickly seize the throne." It was at this time that the prince could not withdraw from Lingnan, and Qin Fei was also trapped in Lingnan. ”

"The emperor also ordered Qin Feishi to hand over military power."

"Qin Feishi is not stupid, he will not hand over military power, and he is bound to have a battle with Lu Changan."

Wu Min nodded, and he looked at Liu Yunxiang again, "I don't know what you and the prince are going to do?" ”

Liu Yunxiang lowered his eyes and thought for a long time, "We have just fought with the Southern Jin Dynasty for more than three years, although we have won, but Darong has also accumulated poverty and weakness, and there must be no more civil strife at this time, otherwise the people's livelihood will be more difficult." I think the crown prince has the same idea as me, we will avoid Qin Shengrui and Lu Changan for the time being. ”

Wu Min sighed heavily, "You and the crown prince are for the sake of Darong and the people, but they won't let you go." ”

Liu Yunxiang shook his head, "When dealing with a Qin Fei, they will be anxious enough, and they won't move us for the time being." ”

Hongxuan nodded, "What the crown princess said is that if Qin Shengrui wants to move the Son of Heaven, he will not just be summoned back to Beijing, but will immediately be wanted for treason. ”

"Lord Wu, please go and appease the courtiers, don't make fearless sacrifices, the big guy will stabilize first, and watch the development of the situation. To put it mildly, what you want to be loyal to is Mingjun, and this Mingjun does not necessarily have to be Yan Dusk. ”

"Crown Princess!" Hongxuan was shocked.

Liu Yunxiang waved his hand, telling Hongxuan not to worry, "Qin Shengrui is not Mingjun, but he is just a puppet in the hands of Lu Changan, if Lu Changan can treat the ministers well, formulate good policies, let the people recuperate, and restore stability to Darong, it is not what you want, but also what I and the prince want." ”

"You mean that this throne, the crown prince is no longer in dispute?" Hongxuan frowned.

"To be honest, if it weren't for the compulsion of the situation at the time, and later for the integrity of the Darong land and for the people not to be bullied, the crown prince had no intention of competing for the throne." Liu Yunxiang said.

Hearing this, Wu Min and Hongxuan were disappointed, but there was no other way at the moment.

Xue Changfeng understood Liu Yunxiang very well, "Lao Qi is too tired all these years, let him rest." ”

At the back door of the palace, Liu Yunxiang saw a person wearing a plain robe waiting there from a distance, the bright moon was hanging high, and he was standing in the narrow alley, his shadow was very long, and he was indescribably lonely.

Liu Yunxiang asked Zijin and Feng Zheng to go back to the house first, and she walked towards the man.

Hearing the voice, Lu Changan turned his head and was not surprised to see Liu Yunxiang coming back from outside.

"You must think I'm mean." He said.

Liu Yunxiang walked over and stopped a few steps away.

"It doesn't matter what I think of you."

"It's important to me."

"Lu Changan, why lie to yourself again, you clearly think that you are doing the right thing and doing well, you are very satisfied with this result. In that case, why ask me again. It's just that the world is already in your hands, and I hope you can realize your ambition and make Darong rich and strong. ”

Lu Changan turned his head to look at Liu Yunxiang, "Can I?" ”

Liu Yunxiang nodded, "Yes, because you are Lu Changan, others can't, but you can." ”

These words were said to Lu Changan when she was most confused in her life, Liu Yunxiang told her, and now she told him again. He looked at her, for a long time.

"I said I'll give you three years, and it's time for you to come to me."

Liu Yunxiang shook his head, "Although I promised you back then, I decided to break my promise at that time." ”

"You're not afraid of poison hair?" Lu Changan frowned.

"I'm afraid, but I can't do it with you, I have a husband and three children, if I leave them, it will only be torture to grow longer than me for the rest of my life."

Hearing this, Lu Changan staggered back a few steps.

He lowered his head and smiled bitterly, and laughed for a long time, "Yunxiang, it turns out that I got the world, but I can't get you." ”

"You love your world more, you love the power in your hands more, you love me, maybe, but how deep, it's just a straw when you are in pain, and when the pain passes, what is the use of this straw for you."

Liu Yunxiang glanced at Lu Changan deeply, turned around and pushed the door open, and walked in.

"I didn't poison you!"
