Marrying a wife and a concubine together? Wouldn't it be better to divorce and become the queen

The next afternoon, Emperor Xia Ming ordered Xie Ying to be summoned to the Yangxin Palace.

Xie Ying knew that he was concerned about Qi Wei, so she prepared herself mentally and wanted to take this opportunity to find out her father's next plan.

In the Yangxin Palace, Emperor Xia Ming indulged himself in lovemaking with Concubine Xiang last night and was unable to get up in the morning. He did not attend the morning court session and rested until the afternoon when he felt better.

Seeing Xie Ying, Emperor Xia Ming asked:

"Did you cooperate with him in Fancheng regarding Qi Wei's matter?"

Xie Ying said: "Yes, I passed the message to Qi Wei twice, but he failed both times."

Emperor Xia Ming asked: "What did you do respectively?"

Xie Ying passed on the content of the message he conveyed in the matter of Qi Wei to Qi Wei.

Xie Ying said: "Qi Wei was stubborn and self-righteous. He thought he could kill Feng Qingluan but was careless and was killed by her. I did my best."

Emperor Xia Ming's eyes were cold:

"You did a good job. Qi Wei's brains are no match for Feng Qingluan's. You wasted my expectations. You betrayed Feng Qingluan many times. Did she notice anything unusual?"

By suddenly asking her this question, are you doubting whether her identity has been exposed?

Xie Ying considered and said:

"I remember my father's orders and always do them with extreme caution."

Emperor Xia Ming said: "I have already sealed Qi Wei's mouth. Even if he fails, he will not dare to betray you. You continue to monitor Feng Qingluan and wait for the next opportunity."

Xie Ying heard his hidden meaning and asked:

"Who will the emperor use next?"

Emperor Xia Ming glanced at her:

"You don't have to worry about this. Now that you have returned to the capital, you can report to me if there is any news. Others will be handled by others for me. Go down."

Not daring to ask too much, Xie Ying stopped at the point, fearing to arouse Emperor Xia Ming's suspicion, and replied obediently:

"Yes, Father."

Hou House.

After sleeping until noon, Feng Qingluan felt refreshed. After lunch, she went to Lanfengyuan to check on Shi Yaya's injuries.

Before entering the yard, I heard Shi Yaya and Pei Chuan talking.

Pei Chuan's tone was helpless and angry:

"Junior sister, what happened under the cliff that day when you and Anye went to chase Zeng Yangzi? I always feel that you care about Anye more than before. I have been with you for such a long time, but I have never seen you mention me everywhere."

Shi Yaya was a little angry:

"Brother, you are not injured, I don't need to worry about you every day, and I have already told you that you saved my life in the dark night under the cliff.

If it weren't for him, I would have been killed by those men in black. He ignored his own injuries to save me, so what's wrong with me caring about him a few more times?

It’s my senior brother who comes to ask me these questions every day, which makes me upset. If my senior brother has any problem with my concern for An Ye, he should just not come to me.”

Shi Yaya's words were a bit harsh, which made Pei Chuan's already angry anger even more furious.

He was so angry that his body trembled:

"Junior sister, I care about you too. Since you don't need this kind of care, I'll leave!"

Pei Chuan left angrily.

Seeing him, Shi Yaya turned her back and sulked.

Feng Qingluan accidentally heard the quarrel between the two. When Pei Chuan came out of the yard, he ran into Feng Qingluan. Thinking that his quarrel with his junior sister must have been heard by Feng Qingluan, he blushed, said hello and left quickly.

Feng Qingluan walked into the yard and saw Shi Yaya sitting by the window looking at the scenery in the yard angrily.

Seeing her, Shi Yaya forced a smile:

"You came."

Feng Qingluan said: "Let me check the injury on your leg."

A look of embarrassment flashed across Shi Yaya's face:

"Did you hear the conversation between me and my senior brother?

Feng Qingluan coughed lightly and said awkwardly:

"Hear some."

Thinking of the quarrel with her senior brother, Shi Yaya's face was slightly angry:

"I don't know what's wrong with you, brother. You always care about these little details. Qingluan, An Ye is my savior. Do you think there's anything wrong with me caring about him a little more?"

After returning to the capital, Feng Qingluan let Shi Yaya live in the marquis' mansion on the grounds that her leg injury was serious and it would be convenient to take care of her.

On the way back to Beijing before, every time Feng Qingluan checked her wound, Shi Yaya would ask about Anye's injury.

An Ye was not seriously injured. He just had many scratches and abrasions from the rocks when he fell to the bottom of the cliff. They were all superficial injuries and he would heal after a few days of rest.

Anye was a secret guard. After returning to the Marquis' Mansion, he resumed his identity as a secret guard and hid in the dark corners of the Marquis' Mansion.

Shi Yaya could see him every day before, but now she can't, so Pei Chuan came to her to talk about this.

Feng Qingluan said: "There's nothing wrong. It was not easy for An Ye to risk his life to rescue you and bring Zeng Yangzi with him."

Shi Yaya said: "Yes, I did nothing wrong, but what's wrong with Senior Brother Pei to get angry about something like this."

She expressed her incomprehension, but Feng Qingluan saw that Pei Chuan liked Shi Yaya, which was why she was jealous and angry that she cared so much about another man.

Shi Yaya didn't seem to notice that she cared so much about An Ye. She wondered if it was as she guessed.

Let's observe and see what happens to the next two people. It depends on fate.

Two days later, good news came from the capital.

General Kang Tai, who was sent to the northern border last year to suppress the restive Huanyue Kingdom, is about to return to the capital.

Originally, Huaibei was helping the northern border of Daxia to intimidate the surrounding small countries. However, because of Xie Yu, Huaibei reduced its deterrence, causing the Huanyue Kingdom to be ready to move. At that time, Kang Tai, a fierce general under the former Gaoyang King Shang Yan, was sent to suppress the country with the nominal General Fuwei.

Later, Xie Yu died, and the Huaibei Emperor completely ignored the Huanyue Kingdom.

So Huanyue united with the surrounding small countries to launch an attack on the northwest corner of Daxia. General Fuwei was injured and died of illness. Kangtai led the Weiyuan Army to repel the armies of Huanyue and several other countries. The attack was not completely ended until this year. Huanyue and its vassal states were completely subdued and swore never to violate the northern border of Daxia again.

When the news reached the capital, Emperor Xia Ming was delighted and summoned Kang Tai to the Yangxin Palace as soon as he returned to the capital.

"I see your Majesty."

Emperor Xia Ming laughed so hard that he couldn't close his mouth:

"The general has been gone for ten months. Not only has he pacified the small Huanyue, but he has also greatly deterred those small countries that have attempted to harm Daxia. The general has shown his iron-blooded tactics and fought bravely. Thank you for your hard work."

When Kangtai was under Shang Yan, he was known for his bravery and resourcefulness.

Kangtai played an indispensable role in every victory won by Shang Yan.

After King Gaoyang handed over his military power, the northern border became uneasy, so Emperor Xia Ming transferred him to the northern border. He thought it would only be a small deterrent, but he did not expect that the northern countries all had evil intentions. Kangtai forced them to retreat one by one, and Emperor Xia Ming realized that if he used this man well, it would be like adding a powerful general to his army.

Not only can he help him do many things in the court, but even if there is an invasion by foreign enemies, he can also be sent out to fight, which is similar to Xie Jin.

If he is supported and faces Xie Jin, he will be a formidable rival to him.
