It has just entered February, and spring has quietly arrived in the capital, and the willow branches are dyed with light yellow new green.

Feng Guanlan was reviewing memorials with the young emperor in the Qinzheng Hall, when his confidant eunuch Dafu came in with a letter.

"Palmprint, there is a letter from the Prince Regent." Dafu said with a bow, and presented the letter to him with both hands.

Feng Guanlan was very surprised, and a look of suspicion flashed across his handsome and dignified face.

Since Chu Zhao left Beijing, she rarely wrote letters back. Whenever she wrote to express her greetings, her replies were just a few words, concise and to the point.

If he wanted to know her movements, he could only find out through the military reports from Yanyunguan.

Sometimes he even wonders if the woman already knows that he is fake Xu Hui. Otherwise, how could she act so alienated with her feelings for Xu Hui?

Of course, it is also possible that he is overthinking it. The woman herself is not a particularly enthusiastic person, and there are frequent border wars, so sending letters is inconvenient. There is nothing important, so there is no need to keep exchanging letters.

So, when she took the initiative to write back this time, did something important happen?

Feng Guanlan thought this, leaned forward, stretched out two slender fingers, and picked up the letter.

The little emperor also put down the pen in his hand and came towards him: "What did the regent say in the letter? I haven't heard from her for a long time."

Feng Guanlan raised her sharp eyebrows and looked at him with a half-smile, "Why don't you, Your Majesty, take a look first?"

The little emperor was excited, quickly turned around and said respectfully: "No, let's take a look at the palm prints first!"

Feng Guanlan was very satisfied with his attitude. She slightly curved her thin lips and unfolded the letter slowly.

As soon as I read the first line, the curve of the corners of my lips suddenly dropped, and my expression changed from casual to serious.

"When did the Regent go to Beidi? Why didn't our family know?" He asked in surprise. He didn't know whether he was talking to himself or asking the little emperor and Dafu.

Both of them were surprised to hear it, but they didn't dare to ask.

The more Feng Guanlan looked down, the more solemn his expression became. After reading it, he read it again from the beginning. He held the letter and closed his eyes and thought for a long time before sighing and asking again: "How is this possible? How did she do it?"

The little emperor couldn't bear it anymore and said timidly: "Palmprint, what happened?"

Feng Guanlan opened his eyes, and a dark smile appeared in his deep eyes.

"As expected of our regent, he has conquered Beidi in such a short time. Dafu, go and send all the civil and military officials to come to the Qinzheng Hall to discuss matters. The regent wants us to send an envoy to Beidi as soon as possible without any mistakes."

"what?"

Dafu was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and hurriedly took the order and left.

The little emperor was also stunned in his seat, looking at Feng Guanlan in disbelief: "Are the palm prints serious?"

"Yes!" Feng Guanlan handed him the letter and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, take a look for yourself. The regent not only killed the Beidi King and moved into the Beidi Palace, but also persuaded the Beidi court to surrender to us Dayan. We Dayan Yan’s map has to be redrawn again.”

"My God!"

The little emperor was shocked, and his joyful smile transformed him from a well-behaved emperor into a child.

"The Prince Regent is really amazing, I really admire her..." He happily took the letter from Feng Guanlan, but saw that Feng Guanlan's face suddenly turned cold.

"Your Majesty, pay attention to your words and deeds. You are the emperor, and you must behave like an emperor."

The little emperor was so frightened that he quickly stopped laughing, sat upright, and responded respectfully: "I...I understand."

"Well, that's decent." Feng Guanlan nodded slightly, handed him the letter, and said, "Your Majesty, please don't express your opinion at will about sending the mission later. You just have to decide who I recommend."

"Okay, I will listen to the palm prints." The little emperor nodded and responded.

Feng Guanlan was then satisfied and asked him to read the letter, and he began to think about the candidates to send to Beidi.

The woman said in the letter that she was kidnapped by the Beidi people on New Year's Eve and taken to the Beidi King's City. Later, she used a trick to kill the Beidi King.

She said it so lightly, and said that the reason why she blocked the news from him was because she was afraid that he would worry too much and put aside his affairs in the capital to save her.

Was it really just because they were worried that he would worry that they blocked the news? None of the spies he sent to the border heard about it, which shows how hard they blocked the news.

How did they do that?

However, that woman could still write to King Beidi immediately after killing him and let him take full responsibility for sending the mission. She probably didn't know that he was a fake, otherwise she wouldn't be so reassured about him.

I have to say that it is good to have such a regent to help him conquer the world. Once that woman has settled the world, it will be time for the world to officially change its surname to Feng.

At that time, what ending should he give the regent?

It would be a pity to kill the monster. It would be perfect if he could subdue her and let her stay by his side as a think tank.

But she is not the kind of person who will be obedient. It is impossible to subdue her without some extraordinary means.

Plant a poison for her?

Or, simply cut off her tendons and hamstrings and imprison her beside him?

But to be honest, for the sake of safety, it is better to kill to avoid future troubles.

Anyway, I am already smart enough, otherwise I would not have been able to successfully deceive even Xi and Didu.

So, kill it!

Kill her, and no one of the descendants of the Chu family will be able to defeat her.

Feng Guanlan couldn't help but feel a little sad when he thought that one day he would take action against Chu Zhao, but for the sake of the world, he could only be ruthless.

The worst thing is to be gentle and let her die painlessly.

……

A month later, the Dayan delegation arrived at Yanyunguan under the escort of Jin Yuwei.

The person in charge of Jinyuwei was Feng Guanlan's godson Dou Yonghe. A few months ago, when He Yunjie sent people to assassinate Feng Guanlan, Murong Xiao came forward to rescue Feng Guanlan and his men, including Dou Yonghe.

Dou Yonghe was almost dead at that time. It was Murong Xiao who sought medical treatment for him and saved him. It took him two months to recover from his injuries.

Murong Xiao recognized him, exchanged a few words with him, and specifically asked if Eunuch Feng was okay in the capital.

Dou Yonghe had a complicated mood when facing his savior. This time he came to Beidi under Feng Guanlan's order. One was to escort the mission, and the other was to supervise Chu Zhao and Murong Xiao on Feng Guanlan's behalf.

One is his godfather, and the other is his savior. This is really a test.

Fortunately, Murong Xiao didn't mention what happened at the beginning, nor did he take his kindness to him seriously.

Since all the Beidi troops at Yanyunguan had evacuated, Murong Xiao thought about Chu Zhao very much, so he handed over the task of guarding the pass to Zhang Xingzhou and Qi Fengshan, and took Beiyuan with the delegation to Beidi.

At this time, the weather in the grasslands is gradually getting warmer, the ice and snow are beginning to melt, new green is gradually appearing among the dead grass, and new hope is flowing everywhere.

Knowing that Murong Xiao was coming with the envoy, Chu Zhao personally led the team to greet him outside the palace gate.

Chu Zhao was wearing winter clothes when he came, but now that the temperature has warmed up, he had to change into Beidi's spring clothes.

From a distance, Murong Xiao saw her waving and smiling at him, wearing a Beidi woman's tight-fitting dress with arrow sleeves. She looked bright, charming, and full of exotic amorous feelings. He couldn't help but feel excited, and he dismounted his horse and galloped towards her.

"Azhao..."

He called her name, stretched out his arms to her, and was about to hug the woman he thought about day and night, but Xu Hui stepped forward to stop him.

"Long time no see. How are you, Your Majesty?" Xu Hui pretended to salute him with a gentle smile.

Murong Xiao suddenly stopped his feet, and almost hugged Xu Hui before he could retract his open arms in time.

He was so angry that he glared at Xu Hui with a dark face: "Can you just wink?"

Xu Hui suppressed his laughter and said seriously: "As soon as I saw the prince, I was the first to come forward to say hello. Isn't that enough of a wink?"
