Confiscated and exiled, the down-and-out general became the queen

Xiao Lengyue nodded, "Have you found out where those women went?"

Tianze heard this and coughed lightly, "City Lord Xiao has already found out that all those women were given away by the housekeeper to rich families as concubines."

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Lengyue frowned and asked, "You gave them all away?"

"No, there are still some hiding in the mountains. We have found them and placed them in the government office. When they recover some strength, we will arrange for someone to send them back."

When Xiao Lengyue heard this, she probably guessed what Tianze meant and nodded, "Okay.

As for the women who were sent out, we will see what they want. If they want to go back, we will help send them back. If they don’t want to go back, it’s up to them.”

It's everyone's own choice. She has no choice and is unwilling to force anyone.

Tianze heard this and nodded, "I understand."

After saying this, he took out a stack of papers from his arms and handed it to Xiao Lengyue.

"Master, this is what Duke Li wrote and gave to the old tutor. The old tutor asked me to give it to you."

When Xiao Lengyue heard this, her eyebrows slightly raised. After taking it, she looked at Tianze and said, "Go down and have a rest first. We'll talk about it tomorrow."

After Tianze left, Xiao Lengyue opened the letter. When she saw that it was full of various events in the court, she curled her lips slightly.

The Golden Dragon Guards have already found out all this information. Duke Li wrote this to his master, presumably hoping that he wanted his master to take action to deal with the situation.

After Xiao Lengyue finished reading it, she burned it with fire.

Seeing that Song Ye had not come back yet, Xiao Lengyue washed up and lay down to rest.

The next day, when Xiao Lengyue woke up, she heard the noise coming from the people on the street.

She moved slightly and was about to stand up when Song Ye hugged her.

"Yue'er, it's still early, sleep a little longer."

Xiao Lengyue looked at the sunlight coming through the window, twitched the corners of her mouth, and thought, the sun is almost setting, it's still early.

She pushed Song Ye and said, "I want to hear what the people say."

When Song Ye heard this, he slowly opened his eyes, used his inner strength to listen, and was stunned for a moment.

Seeing his expression, Xiao Lengyue asked curiously, "What did you say?"

Song Ye coughed lightly, "Fan Shiwen released all the concubines in his house."

After hearing this, Xiao Lengyue thought of Aunt Chen and asked, "Has Aunt Chen been released too?"

Song Ye heard this and said, "This, they didn't say."

After saying that, Song Ye let go of Xiao Lengyue, stood up and said, "I'll go ask around, Yue'er, can you sleep a little longer?"

Xiao Lengyue shook her head, "I got up too."

Seeing that it was almost time for her to go to bed, Song Ye nodded and said, "Okay, I'll ask the waiter to bring you some breakfast later."

Xiao Lengyue nodded, and saw Song Ye get up, dress, and then go out. She lay on the bed, stretched her body, and then got up.

After she finished washing up and opened the window, she saw that more and more people were coming onto the street. The morning sun shone on her body, but it was not hot at all.

After Xiao Lengyue finished eating, Tianze came, and with him came a middle-aged man.

Xiao Lengyue glanced at the man, then looked at Tianze, waiting for his words.

"Master, this is Cui Yang from the Hidden Moon Palace, who is mainly responsible for intelligence."

When Cui Yang heard this, he quickly knelt down and said, "Hello, Master."

"Get up."

"Yes, Master."

After Cui Yang greeted everyone, he stood aside, lowered his head and waited for Xiao Lengyue's instructions.

Seeing him like this, Xiao Lengyue looked at Tianze and said, "If Fan Shiwen disagrees tomorrow, then Cui Yang will need to put on a human skin mask and be the city lord."

Tianze nodded and said, "I have already told Cui Yang.

If Fan Shiwen agrees, Cui Yang will stay by his side as a military advisor. If he disagrees, he will take him away first."

Xiao Lengyue nodded. What Tianze said was similar to what she had planned, so she said, "Go down."

After hearing this, Tianze glanced at Cui Yang, bowed to Xiao Lengyue, and left.

Soon, the appointed time arrived.

That night, Xiao Lengyue took Tianze and Cui Yang directly to the City Lord's Mansion.

When Fan Shiwen came to the study, he saw Xiao Lengyue already sitting in his chair.

When Fan Shiwen saw Xiao Lengyue's back, he knew that what was coming had finally come.

He took a deep breath, turned around and looked at the servants behind him, "Everyone, leave. No one is allowed to come in without my permission."

When the servant heard this, he nodded and hurried out.

After seeing them close the courtyard gate, Fan Shiwen closed the door of the study, slowly walked to the oil lamp, and lit it according to the night light.

Fan Shiwen looked at Xiao Lengyue's back and sighed softly, "Girl, you'd better kill me."

After hearing this, Xiao Lengyue was a little stunned and asked uncertainly: "You don't agree to cooperate with me?"

Fan Shiwen lowered his head and shook his head, "I thought about it again and again, and I still don't want to betray the Yuan Dynasty.

I have inquired a lot in the past two days, but I cannot let the late emperor down.

I will never give you the seal of approval, and I will not give the lives of the people to a person of unknown origin."

When Xiao Lengyue heard this, she finally realized what Fan Shiwen meant. She rubbed her brows and said in a deep voice, "I don't want your seal."

As soon as these words came out, Fan Shiwen sneered: "If you don't want my seal, then what's the purpose of saving me?

This seal is the only thing of value on my body."

Xiao Lengyue didn’t waste any words and said, “I don’t want your seal.

What I want is for you to guard Xinyue City well and not report the affairs of the no-man's-land city to the new emperor."

As soon as these words came out, Fan Shiwen looked at Xiao Lengyue fiercely and froze in place for a moment.

He opened his mouth wide, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Seeing that he looked like he had seen a ghost, Xiao Lengyue frowned slightly and said unhappily, "Don't you want your eyes anymore?"

As soon as these words came out, Fan Shiwen quickly knelt down and pleaded guilty, "Your Highness, please calm down."

As soon as these words were spoken, Xiao Lengyue's eyes changed. Seeing this, Tianze quickly put the sword on Fan Shiwen's neck.

Xiao Lengyue originally thought that Fan Shiwen would be afraid, but when she saw him just kneeling motionlessly, she understood.

He said coldly: "Do you know Gu?"

When Fan Shiwen heard this, he kowtowed and said, "I am honored to have met the late queen."

Xiao Lengyue touched her face and saw Fan Shiwen still kneeling on the ground, so she waved her hand, asked Tianze to retreat, and said, "Then you now, ..."

Before Xiao Lengyue finished speaking, Fan Shiwen said respectfully, "Your Highness, if you have anything to say, just tell me. I will do my best to get it done."

When Xiao Lengyue heard this, she said in a cold voice: "This man is called Cui Yang. From now on, he will be your master."

Upon seeing this, Cui Yang stepped forward and saluted Fan Shiwen, then said with a smile, "Sir, from now on, we are colleagues."
