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

Five days later, Xie Jin, Feng Qingluan and their group returned to the capital.

Xie Jin went to the palace to meet Emperor Xia Ming.

Feng Qingluan took Shen Wan and Xue Zimo back to the Marquis' Mansion.

Emperor Xia Ming learned that Liu Ruochu had his head smashed by Xie Jin's palm when Prince Zhenbei escorted the assassin back to the capital to report the details to him.

Although Liu Ruochu deceived him and was a native of Karen, Emperor Xia Ming really liked Liu Ruochu.

That woman looked too much like her, and he wanted Xie Jin to capture Liu Ruochu and bring him to him.

According to his plan, he would cripple Liu Ruochu's martial arts and imprison her in the palace.

But Xie Jin ignored his order and killed Liu Ruochu in the palace.

In such a cruel way, not even a complete body was left.

Emperor Xia Ming was furious after hearing the news. When Xie Jin came to the palace to report the situation of the imperial mausoleum, he rebuked him:

"Didn't I specifically tell you to capture Zhan Yiliu so that I could deal with her personally? You disobeyed my orders and killed her. Xie Jin, do you still have me in your eyes?"

Emperor Xia Ming was furious and stared at Xie Jin.

Xie Jin remained calm:

"Royal brother, Liu Ruochu wanted to kill me, but I took the initiative to protect myself. Your Majesty, do you blame me? Do you want me to get hurt for someone from an enemy country?"

Emperor Xia Ming's eyes widened. What a good eloquence!

King Zhenbei told him everything when he came back. Liu Ruochu cursed Xie Jin and Feng Qingluan, so Xie Jin killed her in anger.

At that time, Liu Ruochu was already at the end of his strength, so how could he have the ability to kill him?

But Xie Jin's words made Emperor Xia Ming angry and unable to refute.

He still needed Xie Jin to help him eliminate the great scourge of the Karen Kingdom. Even if Xie Jin made him unhappy with Liu Ruchu's matter, he couldn't do anything to him!

Emperor Xia Ming endured it. He took a few deep breaths, and when he calmed down a little, he said:

"Prince Rong, that's not right. You are my brother, and Liu Ruochu is a criminal. How can her life be compared with your safety? Okay, I won't pursue this matter.

The Queen's funeral has been handled. I'll give you a month to prepare to go to the front. I've given orders for all matters, so you don't need to worry about it."

Xie Jin said: "Yes, my royal brother."

After a pause, Emperor Xia Ming continued:

"King Jing is speechless, he is useless. I still have one son left, the King of Chu. I have already decided on the crown prince. Once the enthronement is ready, the crown prince issue will be decided.

It would be best for the King of Chu to go to the battlefield to gain military experience after he becomes the Crown Prince. This time, I want the King of Chu to go to the Western Frontier with you. The shock of the current Crown Prince and King Rong’s expedition to the Karen Kingdom is self-evident.

In addition, I have also arranged for General Di Liang, the Southern Commander, to lead an army of 150,000 to accompany your 200,000 Flame Army.

It's a dangerous journey, you must protect the prince. Experience is important, but his safety is even more important. I leave this matter to you."

Xie Jin said: “Yes.”

After saying this, Emperor Xia Ming waved his hand:

"There's nothing else to do. Go down and get ready."

Xie Jin walked out of the Yangxin Palace with cold eyes.

Di Liang was a supporter of the King of Chu, and he had 150,000 Di family troops under his command.

If he were to go on the Western Expedition this time to destroy the Karen Kingdom and intimidate other neighboring countries that had formed an alliance with the Karen Kingdom, he would indeed need the support of other armies. He would have brought up the matter even before Emperor Xia Ming mentioned it.

However, what Xie Jin did not expect was that Emperor Xia Ming would let Xie Yan accompany him.

Is this to place an uncertain factor behind him?

It seems that as he expected, Emperor Xia Ming had no intention of letting him come back this time.

Xie Jin had a sneer on his lips. If things would develop as Emperor Xia Ming wanted, he would be too naive!

After leaving the palace, Xie Jin went to the military camp outside the city.

Hou House.

When Liao Luoling learned that Xue Zimo was seriously injured in front of the imperial mausoleum, she rushed to see him anxiously.

After a few days of rest, Xue Zimo's injuries improved a lot.

Seeing that he was covered in wounds, Liao Luoling burst into tears out of fear.

"I heard that Sister Qingluan and you were chased by the snake girl in the imperial mausoleum and almost lost your lives. How did she become so powerful? It's really worrying."

Liao Luoling cried like a tearful person.

Seeing her like this, Xue Zimo didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and rubbed her head to comfort her:

"It was unexpected that the snake girl would become difficult to deal with, but don't worry too much. Thanks to the young lady, she saved us."

Afterwards, Xue Zimo thought back to what happened after he entered the room, but he couldn't remember what happened.

He only remembered that he passed out soon after he entered the room, and had no idea how the young lady chased him and Shen Wan, who were seriously injured, and Zhan Yilu, who was escaping.

The lady did not explain this matter, and he did not ask.

Xue Zimo knew that there was something mysterious about his young lady. She could take out weapons, wolf-tooth sticks, medicinal herbs, or bandages at any time. He always followed her to protect her, but he had never seen her carry these things on her.

But every time when encountering a critical moment of danger, these things always appear out of thin air in the lady's hands.

Xue Zimo was no longer surprised by the young lady's mysterious nature. If she didn't tell him, he wouldn't ask. He would just do his best to protect the young lady's safety.

Liao Luoling was still worried. After hugging Xue Zimo for a while, she let him rest and went to find Feng Qingluan.

"Sister Qingluan, are you healed?"

In the room, Feng Qingluan was pounding medicine.

That day, knowing that Xie Jin was going to go out to fight, Feng Qingluan bought a large amount of medicinal materials to make medicine in preparation for military needs.

She has space, and no matter how much medicine she makes, she can put it into the space and take it away.

"I'm not seriously injured. Zimo and Shen Wan were seriously injured in order to protect me. Have you visited Zimo?"

Liao Luoling's eyes were red, she must have cried because she was worried about Xue Zimo.

Liao Luoling nodded: "Well, he's asleep, Sister Qingluan, there's something I want to know, don't hide it from me?"

She was so serious that Feng Qingluan raised her head:

"You said."

Liao Luoling asked nervously:

"Sister Qingluan, the person who killed Queen Li was a princess of the royal family of Karen. I heard that His Majesty wants to use this incident as an excuse to assign my cousin to lead troops to attack Karen. Is this true? Will you also go to the battlefield?"

Feng Qingluan's brows sank. The Queen's funeral had been dealt with, and the next big thing was this.

Feng Qingluan had already thought of the arrangements these days, and when Liao Luoling asked, she said:

"That's right. You came at the right time. I have something to tell you about Zimo."
