After the cannon fodder father and daughter married into the family, the whole family regretted it

Fangyin is particularly safe.

On the eighth day of attacking the Marquis of Southwest, he won victory after victory, but the Marquis of Southwest ultimately failed to raise the banner of rebellion and surrendered.

Marquis of Xi'nan was kneeling on the ground, while Fang Yin was riding on his horse, looking down at him.

"Marquis of Southwest, you have raised private soldiers, controlled the Southwest government, and committed evil. The evidence is irrefutable. Will you plead guilty?"

"I, I plead guilty."

The Marquis of Southwest was extremely terrified.

Now that it has come to this, of course he has to lower his stance.

"Where is the imperial envoy's team?" Fang Yin asked condescendingly.

The Marquis of Xi'nan hesitated and shook his head: "Your subordinate, I don't know."

Fang Yin didn't say anything, but just pulled out a spear from behind.

Marquis Xinan broke out in a cold sweat. He remembered the spear that pierced the sky and directly knocked down his three confidants.

All three of them had previously suggested that he rebel directly.

At that moment, he knew that he must not rebel.

"General Fang, I truly didn't know. Prince Ning and his entourage came to the southwest, but before I could do anything, they were assassinated. I haven't heard from them since."

Marquis Xinan felt bitter inside.

For so many years, he was the king and hegemon in the southwest, and he thought he was extremely powerful. But when the imperial army arrived, his power was like paper and was easily crushed.

Now, it is not certain whether he can save his life.

Seeing that he was like this, Fang Yin didn't think he was lying, so he ordered someone to suppress the Marquis of Southwest.

Two soldiers stepped forward, and one of them was about to grab the Southwest Marquis's arm, but he drew his sword from his waist and stabbed the Southwest Marquis in the chest.

A cold light flashed, and the soldier stopped moving as soon as the long sword touched the Marquis of Southwest.

He was pierced through the back by a spear. Fang Yin gently exerted force and the spear lifted him up.

Looking at him, it was as if he was lifting a ball of cotton, effortlessly.

Marquis Xinan escaped death, his eyes were red, and he collapsed to the ground.

Fang Yin looked at him with interest: "It seems that the Marquis has a secret, and this secret can cost you your life."

On the surface, Fang Yin was nonchalant, but deep down, he was already alert.

Someone actually sneaked into the military camp and tried to do something under his nose.

Half of the people he brought with him were those who followed him from the capital and were considered his confidants, and the other half were borrowed soldiers.

In either case, he should not have had any contact with the Marquis of Southwest before.

The Marquis of Xi'nan was no fool either. He cried out, "Please, General Fang, save me. I will tell you everything."

Fang Yin was very pleased with his understanding of the situation and nodded. "Then I'll give you a chance. Starting today, you and this general will eat and sleep together until we return to the capital."

After returning to the capital, the Marquis of Southwest will have to meet the emperor. By then, it is not certain whether he can save his life.

"Thank you, General. Thank you, General." Marquis Xinan breathed a sigh of relief.

He also knew that once he went to the capital to meet the emperor, his fate would not be good.

But live one day at a time.

How to say it, the fact that he chose to surrender at this time shows that he is not a man of great backbone.

Fang Yin arranged personnel to temporarily take over the affairs of the southwest, and the first thing he did was to find the Miao people who knew witchcraft.

In order to redeem himself for his crime, Marquis Xinan took the initiative to reveal his location.

Fang Yin simply took him and a group of people into the mountains.

Before leaving, he wrote a secret letter and asked Bai Wu to send it back to the capital as quickly as possible.

"Don't go through the post station on your way. Be careful."

Fang Yin looked serious.

Bai Wu immediately realized the seriousness of the matter. After agreeing, he took two people and quietly set off.

Beijing.

Imperial Palace, Fengxue Garden.

An old nanny in palace dress slowly came out of the main hall.

There were two palace maids at the door, and they were about to go in and serve.

Aunt Hua shook her head: "No need, the imperial concubine has already gone to bed, please don't disturb her."

The two palace maids bowed and responded in a low voice.

When Aunt Hua was about to leave, a palace maid stepped forward cautiously to support her: "Godmother, let me help you go and rest."

"No, just stay with the Empress. Remember, the Empress's affairs always come first."

Aunt Hua looked solemn.

The little palace maid nodded obediently and did not force it.

However, Nanny Hua did not return to the side room, but walked out of Fengxue Garden slowly.

I went to the imperial kitchen first.

Several imperial chefs were very polite when they saw her. Everyone knew that Concubine Tong was the most favored in the harem, and Aunt Hua was Concubine Tong's confidant.

"Make some fried black plums. Your Majesty has been enjoying this lately. I'll come get them later."

Aunt Hua ordered.

The steward of the imperial kitchen hurriedly smiled and said, "Oh, then you can go there yourself. I'll send someone to Fengxue Garden later."

Aunt Hua glanced at him and said, "I'm old, and the Empress loves me. My duties are usually quite leisurely, so I'd like to move around more often if I can. I won't bother Steward Fu."

Only then did Manager Fu stop insisting.

Nanny Hua left the imperial kitchen and stood in the garden for a while.

At noon, the masters of each courtyard rested, and most of the palace maids and eunuchs had time to be lazy, and few came out for a walk.

I don’t know what Aunt Hua was thinking, she turned around and walked towards a secluded path.

This is the road leading to the cold palace. There is never anyone here, and the patrolling guards rarely visit here.

She walked steadily, as if she had walked this way many times.

After a while, she was sent to the cold palace.

Now at the door of the cold palace, she knocked on the door: "It's me."

Soon, a skinny little eunuch opened the door for her.

The young eunuch was about seventeen or eighteen years old, very thin, and his clothes looked ill-fitting.

"Auntie Hua!"

When the young eunuch saw her, he couldn't help but feel happy.

The cold palace door closed again, and Nanny Hua's eyes showed warmth and respect: "This old servant pays respects to the young master."

The young eunuch frantically helped the man up and said with a wry smile, "I'm not a young master at all. Ma'am, please get up quickly. Why do you have to bow every time we meet?"

Aunt Hua was helped to her feet, but she insisted, "The rules cannot be broken. If it weren't for the dog emperor's cruelty, you would be one of the most noble people in the world."

The young eunuch's expression became complicated.

What a most noble person he is. Now he is just in the cold palace, struggling to survive.

In fact, if it weren't for Nanny Hua and the others, he would have died long ago.

"Don't be afraid, my lord. The prince is dead. Now is your chance."

Aunt Hua seemed to see what he was thinking and felt very distressed.

"What? Mammy, did you really attack the prince?"

The young eunuch was startled and his face turned pale.

"Didn't I tell you that I don't want to dwell on the affairs of the previous generation? I just want to survive and one day escape from this palace."

Aunt Hua sighed inwardly, thinking that the young master had been kept in the cold palace all these years and had never seen the dangers of the outside world, so his mind was too naive.

"Sir, you don't care about your biological mother's revenge? She risked her life to give birth to you."

The young eunuch was silent for a moment, not knowing how to respond.

"Don't be afraid, young master. You are the same age as the crown prince, and you bear some resemblance to that woman. You can definitely become the real crown prince."

"The reason the Dog Emperor dotes on the Crown Prince is because he feels guilty. The Crown Prince had a hard time as a child, and he wants to make up for it."
