Concubine, she rises step by step

Huo Jiheng followed Xiao Songxi's hand and counted.

Nalan was seen frozen in place, with an expression of disbelief on his face.

Nalan asked as if he was unsure: "Me?"

Xiao Songxi was very sure, "Yes!"

Huo Jiheng looked at Nalan, then returned his gaze to Xiao Songxi's face, and said in a conferential tone: "Dajin has many soldiers. Nalan doesn't stay in the military camp all year round. I'm afraid he is not good at fighting."

Nalan nodded repeatedly, "If you are not good at fighting, you are indeed not good at fighting!"

Xiao Songxi, however, seemed determined, "Having been in front of the emperor for so many years, my adaptability and ability to deal with things should be excellent. How can I not be good at fighting? Don't be humble."

Nalan is really speechless. Why does he suddenly need to follow her to seize power? That is not an easy life. Maybe he will die before he succeeds...

It was obvious that Xiao Songxi was determined to marry Nalan.

Huo Jiheng looked at Nalan again and saw that the deal was actually not a loss.

Nalan looked at Huo Jiheng as if asking for help, hoping that he could save her, but Huo Jiheng suddenly said, "Okay! Let's do it then!"

Nalan:? ? ?
Huo Jiheng also had his own thoughts. Nalan was his confidant. What he feared most when leading troops in a foreign country was defection. If Nalan went, this possibility would not happen.Furthermore, Xiao Songxi was right. In terms of reaction ability, adaptability, and battlefield combat ability, Nalan was by no means inferior to any other soldier.

Next, Xiao Songxi and Huo Jiheng began to discuss the battle plan in detail.

Nalan is really miserable on one side...

Except for the Zhengxin Hall, Nalan felt extremely depressed when the sun was shining just right.

Shengyi originally wanted to talk to the emperor about Peilin, but seeing that the Zhengxin Hall was still lively, he thought about going back. Unexpectedly, he saw Nalan walking out in disgrace.

"Mother, look at Master Nalan, is he quarreling with the emperor?" Zhixia covered her mouth and snickered. Every time she saw Nalan, she would become flustered and pay attention.

Sheng Yi really didn't know what happened, but she always liked to inquire about first-hand news, so she said, "Just ask!"

Nalan, who was melancholy, kicked the pavement in a depressed mood.

Suddenly, he called out: "Lord Nalan!"

Looking up, it turned out to be a kind gesture.

Immediately, he adjusted his posture and appearance. He didn't want to embarrass himself in front of Sheng Yi.

"Concubine Sheng." Nalan couldn't help but feel ripples in his heart when he saw the kind smile.

Kindly asked naturally: "What's wrong? Looking listless?"

Nalan's face was slightly red, and before he could speak, he started to stutter in panic, "No--it's okay!"

He can't say that he was chosen by Princess Beiling and will be used as cannon fodder on the battlefield...

"You don't look like you're okay." Sheng Yi always felt that Nalan was a little weird today.

Nalan glanced at Sheng Yi, and happened to look into Sheng Yi's brown eyes. His heart moved, and he suddenly wanted to know if Sheng Yi would retain him because of this.

The more I think about it, the more I want to know, like a chicken scratching my head, "I'm going to the battlefield!"

Sheng Yi frowned, "Battlefield? War?"

Nalan couldn't reveal anything yet, so he concentrated his attention and asked: "I - I'm going to the battlefield..."

Seeing Nalan's expectant eyes, Shengyi quickly averted his eyes and said, "Your Majesty may have arrangements for you. I would like you to——"

Nalan stared straight at Shenyi. "May you return safely..."

I saw that the light in Nalan's eyes went out for an instant. He couldn't help but laugh bitterly. What was he expecting? Shengyi was the emperor's concubine. He still had such ridiculous ideas. He was really hopeless...

After Sheng Yi noticed something was not right, he replied: "I am going back first, Lord Nalan, please be careful along the way..."

Nalan watched Sheng Yi go away in a daze, feeling disappointed.

"She doesn't belong to you!" Suddenly, a voice came from behind.

Nalan turned around and saw Xiao Songxi.

Oh my God, is Mercury retrograde recently?There is always someone behind you to scare yourself!

Wait, what did Xiao Songxi say...

Nalan was shocked, "Nalan really doesn't know what the eldest princess is talking about."

Xiao Songxi walked forward, looked at Nalan, looked at the back of the good intention that had already gone away, and said leisurely: "Don't underestimate a woman's sixth sense, it's very good!"

Nalan looked at Xiao Songxi's appraising eyes and felt deeply dissatisfied, "I really have no other ideas. Princess, don't make random guesses. In this deep palace, rumors can kill people."

Obviously, Xiao Songxi admired Nalan's "emotional, righteous, and rational nature" very much, "Okay, just treat me as a fancy."

This Xiao Song Xi, the front foot said it firmly, and the back foot seemed to be indifferent.

"It's not that Nalan is afraid of death. Seizing power is a fierce battle. I hope the eldest princess can think twice!" Nalan finally advised her out of consideration for reality.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Songxi looked at Nalan and said softly: "Are you worried about me?"

Nalan then took a step back, "Nalan is just worried about his own safety, I don't want to die in battle yet!"

Listening to Nalan's words, Xiao Songxi had a solemn look on her face, "Don't worry, I won't let you die! Besides, do you think your emperor will do something he's not sure about?"

Nalan doesn't really believe in Xiao Songxi, but he believes in Huo Jiheng, his master. Just like what Xiao Songxi said, Huo Jiheng can agree to things, so there won't be any big problems.

"It's late at night, princess, please come back!" Nalan replied coldly.

Xiao Songxi raised her eyebrows slightly and asked, "Master Nalan, don't you want to know how we are going to fight?"

Nalan Jinsu replied: "It's already late at night, the eldest princess should rest first. After the matter is settled, it won't be too late for Nalan to find out!"

These words are not only a step forward for Xiao Songxi, but also Nalan's words to help himself out of trouble. For now, don't argue with Xiao Songxi.

Xiao Songxi nodded in approval, "Master Nalan is indeed right!"

Then, Weiwei took a step towards Nalan and said firmly: "There is really no need to rush, we still have a long time to communicate..."

Different from the generous sunshine, beauty and perseverance, Xiao Songxi made Nalan feel like a stunning flower hidden on the cliff, both beautiful and dangerous.

Nalan watched Xiao Songxi leave and felt that the pores on his body were about to stand up. He could not understand Xiao Songxi more and more.

In the Zhengxin Hall, Li Qing poured Huo Jiheng a cup of sobering soup.

Lin Xian'an still had concerns, and said to Huo Jiheng, who was concentrating with his eyes closed: "Your Majesty, can you believe the words of Princess Beiling?"

Huo Jiheng did not answer, but opened his eyes, raised his hand, took out a letter from the folder on the table and handed it to Lin Xian'an.

After opening it, there are only two sentences: The internal fighting in the Beiling royal family can be exploited.
