Ma'am, she only wants to be promoted

Chapter 140 Attack or Defense

Seeing that the expression on the queen's face loosened a little, Liuli continued: "Your Majesty, you have worked hard guarding His Highness the Crown Prince today, you should go back to the palace to rest for a while, your phoenix body is the most important thing, wait for you to rest , and then talk to the prince carefully, he will definitely listen."

Seeing that the queen was persuaded by Liuli, Fei Cui followed suit and said, "Yes, empress, you have only been alive for a few days, so you can't be tired and hungry anymore. This servant will help you go back to eat."

The queen glanced at the indifferent prince again, held her breath and went back to her bedroom under the persuasion of the two maids.

Under the cover-up of the queen, the matter of the prince did not cause any waves in the harem, and those who were less sensitive still noticed the changes in the prince.

The prince was more silent than before.

Later, the queen spoke to the prince several times, but the prince was only silent. Fortunately, when the queen forced the prince to read and write, the prince was willing to listen to the queen to read and write.

Therefore, although the queen was angry, she didn't take it too seriously.

In her heart, the prince is her son no matter what. There is no deep hatred between mother and son. When the prince grows up, he will naturally know that everything she does is for his benefit.

Entering February, the weather is getting warmer day by day, and the army in Beimo is ready to move again.

When the northern border defenders and the northern desert officially fought, the concubine's two-month confinement finally came to an end.

Officials of the war faction held their heads high when they left the palace, while those of the conservative faction frowned.

Marquis Zhongyong has been stationed in northern Xinjiang for decades, and he has fought against the Beimo army countless times. He is very clear about the changes in the Beimo army. One day it will swallow the entire Great Yongdu.

And so it was for a while.

After listening to Lu Wanning's instructions, Qing Dai not only watched by herself, but also asked Fang Fei, who was working in Zhaoyang Palace, to help her keep an eye on everyone in Zhaoyang Palace recently.

The result of this quarrel can be known only from the expressions of the two people. In the end, the main combat faction won a big victory.

Therefore, her cousin who was originally chosen by the imperial concubine to enter the palace to give birth to a child has become a stumbling block for the imperial concubine, and the imperial concubine will definitely want to get rid of herself as soon as possible.

On this day, Zhou Cairen invited Lu Wanning to enjoy flowers and drink tea in the Imperial Garden. Recently, Lu Wanning often drinks tea with Zhou Cairen and enjoys flowers, so he took Qingzhi and Qingdai to the Imperial Garden without much thought.

Zhongyonghou and others who were stationed in the northern border did not dare to ignore it, and immediately increased the defense of Beimo, and reported the matter to the emperor quickly.

As soon as the imperial concubine's confinement was over, the Chang family in Zhongyonghou's mansion handed over a post to enter the palace to ask to see the imperial concubine.

Lu Wanning was not sure whether Chang's entering the palace this time had anything to do with this matter, but she did not dare to ignore it. Given her current situation, if she made a wrong move, she might be lost forever.

After the court was over, the representative officials of the war faction and the conservative faction quarreled all afternoon in Luo Chengjing's imperial study, and finally came to a conclusion.

Lu Wanning nodded after hearing this, and told Qing Dai to let people watch the noble concubine's movements.

As for the content of the conversation between the two, Qing Dai has no way of finding out.

The imperial concubine seemed to have suddenly come to her senses. Every day, she greeted the queen in a proper manner, or went back to her palace to tease the parrot with very beautiful feathers. Thank you, thank you Lu Wanning for protecting her during the witchcraft incident.

Since Zhongyonghou intends to subdue Bei Mo completely, it means that if the imperial concubine does not seize this opportunity, it will not be so easy for her to get any benefits from the emperor in the future.

Before Lu Wanning asked Qing Dai to help inquire about Chang's entry into the palace, Qing Dai was looking for Fang Fei.

In the past few years, Dayong's treasury has become more and more abundant under his management, and he has already secured the throne. At this time, Zhongyong Hou proposed to attack Beimo, which made him agree with him.

These performances of the imperial concubine did not make Lu Wanning let down her vigilance at all, on the contrary, she became more careful.

After the meaning of Zhongyonghou was brought up in the court, there was a sudden quarrel in the court.

After Zhongyonghou received Jingzhong's reply, his whole body cheered up, and he quickly summoned the chief generals in the army to discuss the battle strategy and tactics.

Luo Chengjing was also very annoyed by Bei Mo's constant harassment. In the past, he had never thought about attacking Bei Mo directly. Therefore, the consumption of military pay, food, grass and other items is not a small amount.

Moreover, he was also very annoyed by Bei Mo's harassment from time to time. This time he wrote to the emperor to attack Bei Mo while defending Dayong's land. Only by completely subduing Bei Mo, Bei Mo Only then would it be possible to truly be honest, and Dayong would not have to spend so much money every year on the defense of northern Xinjiang.

There is no way to do this, whoever has the most power is also biased towards the main battle.

Qing Dai inquired carefully, but only found out that after Mrs. Chang entered Zhaoyang Palace, the imperial concubine sent out all the attendants around her, and left a red note outside to guard the door herself. The two secretly kept secrets inside. Talked for a long time.

In Zhongyonghou's memorial this time, in addition to reporting Bei Mo's movements to the emperor, what is more important is to ask the emperor for their next movements.

The officials of the entire court were divided into three factions. The neutral faction remained neutral, the main combat faction supported Zhongyonghou, and agreed to change from defense to offense, and the conservative faction, mainly civil servants, listed various reasons to refute the war against North Korea. Because of the disadvantages of desert, he resolutely opposed the proposal of Zhongyonghou, claiming that Zhongyonghou only needs to continue to guard the land of Dayong.

But for the next period of time, neither Qing Dai nor Fang Fei noticed any movement from the imperial concubine.

The concubine's previous strategy to deal with her failed, and she was worried that the concubine would attack her again.

She made an appointment with Zhou Cairen at the octagonal pavilion they often went to.

After Lu Wanning knew that Mrs. Chang had entered the palace, she asked Qingdai to find out what Mrs. Chang and the imperial concubine had said.

In the past two years, the relationship between Qing Dai and Fang Fei has been very good. Fang Fei has received a lot of benefits from Qing Dai and is willing to help Qing Dai.

The courtroom quarreled all morning with no results.

A large area of ​​peonies were planted around the octagonal pavilion, and they were blooming brightly at this time.

After Lu Wanning entered the Royal Garden, she followed the path she used to walk to the octagonal pavilion.

The road that Lu Wanning used to take to get to the octagonal pavilion had to pass through a rockery.

Seeing that Lu Wanning was about to reach the rockery, a young eunuch suddenly jumped out from the side, stopped in front of Lu Wanning, and said, "Lu Jieyu, you can't go here."
