There were only two people left in the main hall, Yefeng and Mrs. Qingning, but Mrs. still didn't know how to speak.

At this time, she was not the patriarch of the Ji clan, nor was she just the Minister of Political Science and Law, the supreme person in charge of foreign affairs in Wanting, at this time she briefly picked up the identity she had put down - the eldest princess of Wanting Country.

Night Wind is a junior and a courtier of the king, so he should not speak first according to the etiquette, so he can only wait quietly, but when he thinks that the huge hole in the border is caused by their failure to do so, the chagrin, grief and entanglement in his heart have already made him full of self-blame.

Can't let this silence continue, he needs to confess his guilt on behalf of his father, and he needs to ask the eldest princess Nuojia Qingning to give a due reprimand.

When he was about to get up and make a big salute with his wife, his wife stopped him and said, "If you get up and salute at this time, then this matter will be different, Night Breeze." ”

Night Wind stopped moving, thought for a moment, reluctantly sat back in his position, sorted out his emotions, and said in a calm tone: "According to the ancestral rules, the patriarch of the three clans must live in a turbid city in the capital of the country. The patriarch of the Zhen clan, the old lady of the duchess Zhen Nanqian, has lived in Yunqiao City since she was born; Mrs. Qingning, as a descendant of the royal family, is still guarding Ruian City every day, but I am the only one in Haoyue City...... My father loves to play in the mountains and rivers, and he is not in the turbidity all the year round, but His Majesty and you have never blamed him...... Now that there is this great event that cannot be atonemented for sins, Your Majesty's grace, in the end, our Fuzhi family has failed ......"

Mrs. Qingning sighed deeply and said, "It is difficult for Your Majesty and I to explain to you, but please believe that it is absolutely impossible for the two of us to blame that guy Cangyue." I just think it's too cruel for you...... Night Wind, you are only a little older than Ling Tian, and you have to take on the responsibility of half a patriarch to manage this huge family and the vast territory of the Red Domain for your father, even if it is your responsibility today, I can't bear to blame. What's more, this incident was caused by the treason of the magistrates in the Red Domain, and even the officials in the Red Region did not know about it. ”

"But now, a mistake is a mistake, and the territory of three million acres has been lost for fifteen years...... How do I face Your Majesty? ”

Night Wind's tone was full of guilt and self-blame, and the hall was silent again.

At this time, in the Ministry of Political and Legal Affairs, Yun Shen took Ling Tian through the side door to a place where no one was, looked around, and saw that it was quite safe here, so he lowered his voice and said to Ling Tian: "There are already people in the Chiyu magistrate and the Chiyu army who have colluded with Suroika and sold three million acres of desert land close to the Chiyu. ”

Hearing this, Ling Tian said eagerly: "But even if it is a desert, it is also a land that Wanting does not give up an inch, and giving up such a large area of land is not equivalent to retreating the border?" Fortunately, there has been no accident in the past fifteen years, and if it were a few days later, I am afraid that Suroika would have already been overwhelmed by a large army! Ling Tian said, already clenching his fists.

"Suroika has always feared us, but only the High Priest and ...... And the power of that person, since something like that happened twenty years ago, after that person disappeared, Suroika has been harassed repeatedly, and everything depends on the high priest to support the enchantment and keep it safe for the time being. This desert is a no-man's land outside the barrier, and they are so unscrupulous that they can't even get close to the high priest's barrier. Yun Shen said this, but he was also worried, "Although the enchantment can protect the peace of the people, what about the outside of the enchantment...... Is it just a matter of being slaughtered like this? When there is no enchantment, will the entire Wanting be a human sword and a fish and meat? Now that the guardianship of this kingdom is pressed on the high priest alone, we can't do anything......"

At this time, they were still in the royal city, and they didn't dare to directly call the name of the taboo demon queen, after all, it was the person who was ordered to erase all traces, Ling Tian and Yun Shen were both young people, and they could only learn a little bit of the past from the lady's words - the queen of the spinning smoke who was beaten as the demon queen is the descendant of the Zhen clan with the strongest spiritual power for hundreds of years, and the power of one person can fight against thousands of enemies. She was only twenty-three years old at the time, but her name alone was enough to deter Suroika.

The emotions of loss and worry spread between the two, Ling Tian shook his head, shook off those weaknesses, held Yun Shen's shoulders and said seriously: "It's still too late, as long as the negotiations are won, we can still regain those lost territories, third brother, what are we going to do now?" ”

Yun Shen, who was encouraged by Ling Tian, came to his senses, and now is not the time to be depressed, he took Ling Tian into the house, spread out the information and explained the division of labor with him in detail: "Madame asked you to come over to help, in order to have your unforgettable skills, when the diplomats are responsible for negotiating with the other party's envoys, each round needs to prepare strong evidence, all the materials we are preparing quickly, all you have to do is to concentrate wholeheartedly, write down all the information in your mind, and then it will depend on you, it's okay...... Wanting still has you! ”

Ling Tian is a soldier, but he never minds others borrowing his unique abilities, even if he can't go into battle to kill the enemy, and even if he has to negotiate as a tool, he doesn't have any complaints. Ling Tian immediately began to distinguish the various materials classified on the table, concentrated a hundred times his attention, built a huge memory labyrinth in his brain, and did his best to imprint everything clearly in his mind. Yun Shen simulates negotiations with other diplomats, preparing as much as possible for all possible conversations on the field.

As night fell, the sunset after the spring rain gradually dimmed, and the lights in Yayu City were lit, and King Nuojia Hewu was still on the desk with one official document after another, not noticing that his queen Lan Xue had already prepared dinner on the side.

Seeing that he was focused, Queen Lan Xue lifted her skirt and walked to He Wu's side with a smile on her face, He Wu noticed her existence, raised her eyes to look at her, and said flatly: "This king is good, you can eat first." ”

Lan Xue laughed shallowly, put a pair of slender jade hands on He Wu's shoulders, rubbed his shoulders, and said slowly: "Your Majesty cares about state affairs, and you should also pay attention to your body. ”

He Wu turned sideways, and Lan Xue had to let go of his hands, only looking at him and smiling. He Wu sighed and said, "There is such a big thing at the border, now is not the time to rest, you eat first, and this king will come as soon as he finishes dealing with the matter in front of him, okay?" ”

After speaking, He Wu turned back and continued to look at the official document in his hand carefully. Lan Xue looked at the people in the hall, waved her hand and ordered everyone to retreat, sat down next to He Wu, looked at He Wu and said: "I am young, I don't understand many things, although I am a queen, I can't help with many things, unlike my sister ......" Speaking of this, Lan Xue paid attention to He Wu's expression, and saw that he did not react before continuing, "My sister can face thousands of troops and horses in her twenties and make contributions to the country, and I just want to be Your Majesty's wife, take care of Your Majesty's food and drink, and let Your Majesty be healthy and happy, and have nothing to ask for." ”

Lan Xue spoke slowly, but He Wu's reply was very fast, as if she was in a hurry, and it seemed that she was just trying to deal with things: "Your mind is understood by this king, you have worked hard." ”

Hearing him say "hard", Lan Xue lowered her head and smiled, and continued: "It's just ...... I can only make Your Majesty happy in life, and it would be nice if everyone in the court could make Your Majesty happy, this border matter is really ...... The Fuzhi family is deeply favored by His Majesty, but let His Majesty and Wan Ting suffer this great humiliation, this ......"

He Wu didn't speak, it wasn't that he listened to Lan Xue's words, but he naturally understood in his heart why Lan Xue was blowing this wind in his ears at this time, and not saying anything was a defense that made people unable to guess their intentions.

Lan Xue continued: "In the past few decades, Cangyue has traveled all over the world, and everything has been handed over to the clan to deal with, fortunately, these Chinese New Year's Eve winds have become adults, and they have gradually been able to take charge of themselves, and they have indeed managed the Fuzhi family to a new level, although this matter was made by Night Wind when acting as an agent for the affairs of the Fuzhi family, but after all, Night Wind is young, I hope Your Majesty will not blame him, I think...... The Fuzhi family must be extremely subservient to His Majesty. ”

"Well, you don't have to worry about these things, this king has his own measure." He Wu said, looking at the meal that had already been prepared at her table, and said, "Let's eat first." ”

"Yes." Lan Xue replied with a smile, got up and grabbed He Wu's arm, helped him sit down at the dining table, served him a bowl of soup, and sandwiched some of his favorite dishes, but he didn't move his chopsticks, just sat beside him, and then said: "This time, Qingning has dealt with this matter, and Suroika's people have also agreed to come to Yayu City to negotiate, I think the matter will be resolved smoothly, and the three million acres of territory will definitely be returned to Chiyu smoothly, so Your Majesty should not worry about it." Look at you, you've been worried for most of the day, and there are a few more gray hairs. Lan Xue looked at He Wu distressedly, wiped a trace of sweat on He Wu's forehead with her cuffs, and He Wu continued to eat without much response.

Lan Xue is a full seventeen years younger than him, He Wu has already half of his temples white, Lan Xue has been pampered all his life, well-maintained, nearly forty years old but still charming, soft and lovely eyes, Dan lips lined with her skin that is like snow like her name, a smile is carved with charming spring, but even with such a face and a figure like a weak willow supporting the wind, He Wu has always rarely looked at her with straight eyes, married for 20 years, He Wu has always been courteous and respectful to her, never had any contact with her outside the etiquette.

After dinner, He Wu said some gentle words to her, so that she could have a good rest, Lan Xue saw that she had already said almost what she wanted to say, and left the side hall of Ye Gui Hall with satisfaction.

Finally calmed down, He Wu sat in front of the desk and breathed a long sigh of relief, I don't know if it was because Lan Xue mentioned it, or because of today's border incident, he seemed to think of the woman who could once deter the ambitions of neighboring countries, looked up at the gorgeously carved ceiling of Ye Guidian, and muttered: "Yan'er ......"

As soon as he read it, he heard a familiar female voice coming from the door, complained slightly, and said in a low voice: "Is Your Majesty thinking of her?" ”
