The blacksmith lady is killing people in the harem, and her son is responsible for it.

After Shi Xi came in, he bowed to Qin Wan and said, "Greetings to the Crown Princess."

Shi Xi was the eunuch serving Zhao Zhen and usually served in Lizheng Hall.

Generally, when there are matters among the ministers that require Qin Wan's decision, Shi Xi will come first to report.

Qin Wan is in poor health now and doesn't go to Lizheng Palace easily.

"Get up, is there any news?"

Shi Xi couldn't hide his excitement, "Replying to Crown Princess, good news, very good news."

Qin Wan couldn't help but sit up straight, "Oh? But there's news from the prince."

"Your Majesty is indeed as good as a god. An urgent message has come from the north, saying that the Crown Prince has won a great victory and has now recaptured Yanmen!"

Qin Wan was overjoyed when she heard this, "But is it true? Did you tell me when the prince will return to the capital?"

Shi Xi shook his head, "He didn't say when he would be back."

Qin Wan thought about it and decided that it was useless to ask Gui Xi, a little eunuch.

"Shi Xi, go call the Minister of War!"

After thinking for a while, he added another person, "There is also Jingzhao Yin Yang He!"

Shi Xi did not dare to delay and quickly retreated.

Qin Wan was very excited and wondered how Zhao Zhen was doing now.

Also, Shang Yunze used to be entrenched in the Western Regions. Although he died in Chang'an City, the Western Regions are now leaderless. She guessed that Zhao Zhen might take over the Western Regions as well.

But regarding the emperor’s current situation, should we tell Zhao Zhen and ask him to come back earlier?

Now, not only Qin Wan has this concern, but even the emperor is thinking about it.

He also met Yang He and was hesitant about this matter.

The reason why he was anxious to summon the prince back was because he felt that the situation in the capital was unstable.

But now, he felt that he could still hold on with the help of Qin.

The emperor really felt that even if he died like this.

The court can stabilize the situation by relying on the Crown Princess alone.

These days, the court is in good order.

In particular, the emperor saw that officials had secretly made up for previous bad debts and added a lot of money to the national treasury.

The emperor was upset, but also secretly happy.

The Western Regions were part of the Central Plains during the Shang Dynasty. There was no reason why they should not be taken back during the Yan Dynasty.

Also, if the Yan Dynasty does not take advantage of this good opportunity to conquer the territory, the Qiang people, the Daxia Dynasty, and the Huns will all set their sights on that land.

For a moment, the emperor was also very emotional.

When it comes to marching and fighting, there are very few generals who are both useful and good at fighting.

The emperor really couldn't think of anyone who could replace the prince.

"Your Majesty, the news of the crown prince's great victory has come back. What else are you worried about?"

Yang He was summoned in, and was very curious when he saw that the emperor had not spoken for a long time.

The emperor looked at his old subordinate who had followed him to conquer the world and said, "Yang He, you said you were sent to attack the Western Regions. Do you have the confidence to bring the crown prince back?"

Yang He: “………”

Yang He didn't expect the emperor to have this idea.

Yang He knew his own weight, "Your Majesty, I am willing to go for you, but I am not as good as the Crown Prince in marching and fighting!"

The emperor naturally knew the result, which was why he hesitated.

Some of the old people who followed him in the past were left to him by his father.

The body is not as strong as that of the younger generation.

At this time, the eunuch came in and reported, "Your Majesty, the Crown Princess has summoned the Minister of War and Lord Yang."

Yang He was suspicious as to why the Crown Princess wanted to see him.

At the same time, he was also curious about what the emperor meant and why he had to hide the fact that he was awake.

Also, tomorrow is the day when the Emperor's grandson will be enthroned as the Crown Prince. Does the Emperor really want the Crown Princess to seal the imperial seal himself?

Yang He also felt that he was getting older and understood the emperor less and less.

"Alright, Sir Yang, go over and hear what the Crown Princess has to say."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Yang He stood up and quickly left the Liangyi Hall.

Yang He and Minister Wang of the Ministry of War met at the gate of the East Palace.

"Sir Yang, do you know why the Crown Princess summoned you?"

Because the Ministry of War was infiltrated, Minister Wang could not escape being interrogated.

Fortunately, he was loyal to the emperor, and the traitor was just a minor official in the Ministry of War and had nothing to do with him.

However, even so, Minister Wang didn't really want to meet the Crown Princess.

Now that he had met Yang He, he knew that they had some kind of personal relationship, so he immediately started to inquire about it.

Yang He shook his head, "Master Wang, I just arrived and haven't seen anyone yet, how can I know what's going on?"

Shangshu Wang thought about it and realized that it was right. "It's over. I was really anxious and confused."

Thinking of something, Minister Wang's eyes turned, "Old Yang, you see, we are old acquaintances, but our two wives never interact with each other. I think we should let her and Madam Yang see each other more often in the future."

The wife of Minister Wang is a lady from a wealthy family and is completely different from Madam Yang.

Mrs. Yang was a typical country woman, and Yang He was not of noble birth at that time.

Yang He did not refuse, "Okay, then we can let them move around more."

The two of them were taken to Yichun Palace by a young eunuch.

Now there are only two masters in the Eastern Palace, Qin Wan is in Yichun Palace by herself, and Li Peilan is in Yiqiu Palace by herself.

Li Peilan now feels that her life is extremely comfortable. She is now on par with the Crown Princess.

Compared with the Crown Princess, she is really not much different. She also has her own palace.

Li Peilan just wanted to take a walk in the garden when she saw the young eunuch leading two officials to Yichun Palace.

She immediately shrank back and said, "Come on, let's go back first."

The little palace maid Duo'er also saw it, "My lady, look at the official uniforms of those two people, they are high-ranking officials."

Li Peilan's body shrank back, but his head showed up. "Well, judging from the color, he must be an official of the second or third rank."

Duoer asked, "Your Highness, the Crown Princess is in charge now. You might as well go and ask her to arrange a high-ranking official position for the Master and promote him."

Li Peilan's father worked in the Honglu Temple, and his official position was not very high.

When she was pushed in, she took the path of the wife of Duke Shun.

Li Peilan shook her head, "No, my father is a low-ranking official, so it's still safe."

Li Peilan felt that it was risky to hold a high position under her sister, the Crown Princess.

At this time, not only Li Peilan thought so, but even Minister Wang felt so too.

Minister Wang wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, "Reply...Reply to the Crown Princess, I don't know who to send to replace the Crown Prince!

I...I really cannot guarantee that the successor will be able to recover the Western Regions and win the battle!"

Minister Wang felt that he had no way of communicating with women.

Even the emperor would not ask such a question.

Can we definitely win the battle?

Who can guarantee that?

Isn't this making things difficult for me, Crown Princess?

Yang He watched from the side and did not speak up to help because he was also afraid that the war would spread to him.
