My Lord, please respect yourself. I am the wife of a marquis.

"Let's talk about the war in the northwest," Su Muxi walked to the map, "Dayun Dynasty has been expanding its territory since its founding, moving westward, bypassing the barbarian border, and occupying some territories. Now we are there, but the more critical point is here."

The map looks like a distorted four-leaf clover, divided into five regions. The territory of Dayun Dynasty is like a ship, with the capital as the bow, the northwest as the stern, and the belly as the fief of King Huaiyang.

Above are the barbarians, and the Dayun Dynasty is surrounded. It itself is not a big concern, but the mercenaries of King Huaiyang are self-respecting. If they make any unusual movements and capture Huaicheng, the Dayun Dynasty will be divided into two and eaten separately.

Fortunately, there was another country to the south that was eyeing Huaiyang covetously. The King of Huaiyang had suffered a severe blow, with more than half of his troops lost, so he did not dare to act rashly.

All forces are involved together, and the place Su Muxi pointed to is the center of the four-leaf clover.

Whichever party gets this place can establish its own territory and become the overlord.

"Little sister, do you mean to fight for control here?"

Su Muxi was a little amused. His third brother was frightened by her. "General Weiyuan is in charge here. Ordinary people dare not covet it."

"I want you to pay attention here, keep your eyes on this place."

Su Muxi said: "Just like the emperor will not allow Prince Huaiyang to become too powerful, he will not allow this place to belong to anyone else, even if it is his own son."

"Without Prince Jin to contend with him, the northwest is far away," Su Muxi ran her hand along the belly of the boat to the edge of the bow, "this place will soon belong to the Second Prince."

Su Muchuan was surprised and said, "With Princess Kangping's incident in the way, can the marriage still be accomplished?"

Su Muxi sneered, "Of course."

"Your Majesty is now in his prime, how can he allow others to hinder his actions? Even if Princess Kangping passes away tomorrow, this marriage can still be completed."

"I wonder how the Sixth Prince will react?"

Prince Jin is dead, and there are only two people capable of competing for the throne. It is not wrong for Su Muchuan to ask this.

Su Muxi replied calmly: "Happy."

"how is this possible?"

"Because he achieved his goal," Su Muxi explained in the face of Su Muchuan's doubts, "Zhao Siyu's maternal grandfather's family is the richest in Jiangnan, with enormous wealth, and is located in the territory of the King of Huaiyang. To the north is the Guanshan Fortress guarded by General Weiyuan, and to the west is the northwest they guard. The Marquis of Jian'an has troops and power. If he marries the second prince, it will be a powerful alliance. The emperor will give the second prince more bargaining chips, but he will not raise a King of Huaiyang anymore."

"How can I allow others to sleep soundly on my bed? I can only say that the Second Prince is too greedy and has caused the Emperor to be wary of him."

"My little sister means that the emperor has also taken action."

"The emperor did not take action, but the Sixth Prince guessed the emperor's thoughts and set up this trap."

"When did my younger sister figure it out?"

"Last time at the waterside pavilion of the Duke of Anguo's mansion."

Su Muxi did not tell Su Muchuan all her thoughts, because there was a biggest variable here, and that was Xiao Yunjin.

The fight between two dragons for the throne turned into a quarrel between two opposite parties.

In the matter of Princess Kangping, the emperor is the banker. He is playing a game of chess to seize the throne. Xiao Yunjin is the pusher, and the sixth prince and the second prince are the real chess pieces.

It’s all because the second prince was greedy and wanted to swallow an elephant, which made him feared by all sides.

After this incident, Marquis Jian'an's power will definitely be damaged, and he will also lose the support of the Jiang family.

Zhao Siyu is still in prison, and this move has not yet been fully implemented.

What will Xiao Yunjin do? What is his next plan?

"Remember my words. We have to make a knife, a knife that is easy for the emperor to use, a knife that can protect himself, and keep a close eye on Guanshan City."

Su Muchuan vaguely understood Su Muxi's plan and nodded, "I understand."

Having said this, Su Muxi gave a few more instructions before going out to mobilize the secret guards.

As for why she was the only one among the brothers and sisters who could dispatch their father's secret guards, it all started with the surprise attack three years ago. At that time, she was considered the chief contributor, but because she was a woman and had no real power, she only had a few dozen confidants left, and some of them were injured or disabled.

Her father discussed with his two brothers and gave her the right to deploy the secret guards. The two brothers were responsible for the front of the battlefield while she was responsible for the backstage.

Su Muxi selected twenty masters, handed them over to Su Muchuan, and then returned to the room alone.

The wait was the longest. Su Muxi wrote two letters, one to A'da and the other to his second brother, Lieutenant General Lin. He also had to arrange for his second brother, who played straight, to stabilize the situation.

Su Muxi dispatched two secret guards to keep an eye on Zhao Siyu, and then went to Madam Zhenguo and An Min to give them a few words.

After thinking through everything I could think of and feeling that nothing had been left out, it was already dark and the family had a meal in silence.

The Duke of Zhenguo did not come back, so Su Muxi asked them to go and rest while he stayed at home.

The moon is high today, but there are no stars. The sky is dark and I can't see the road ahead.

At this moment, she was also a little confused, staring blankly at the bright moon, feeling lonely and dead...

After all, the Duke of Zhenguo did not come back at midnight. Looking at the carriage going away, Su Muxi regretted for a moment that he had let Xiao Yunjin leave in the morning.

Su Muxi sat with Mingyue like this for the whole night, and no one knew what she was thinking.

At dawn, the Duke of Zhenguo finally returned, bringing with him the news of Princess Kangping's death.
