Exile is exile, is half of the capital enough as compensation?

But what could he do? If he wanted power, he had the throne, and if he wanted connections, he still only had the throne.

He doesn't even have a minister loyal to him, he deserves to be looked down upon by his own uncle.

He has come to terms with it over the years. Since he has no real power, he might as well be a puppet!

There is nothing wrong with being a puppet. You have no worries about food and drink, and you have a beautiful woman in your arms.

Instead of worrying about world affairs, it is better to be free and easy in the harem.

However, he still had selfish motives. He had been on the throne for six years, but he had not even given birth to a prince.

Even the prince born to the queen accidentally drowned two years ago.

Xingyao Palace

Ji Wanxing also received the empress dowager's decree at this time.

Before she could recover from her shock, Eunuch Yu arrived.

After hearing the emperor's oral order, Ji Wanxing was stunned on the spot.

Ji Wanxing's hands couldn't stop shaking, and even her voice became a little sharper, "No, no, Your Majesty can't do this to me, you can't do this to me..."

If the Empress Dowager's decree was a reward to her, then the Emperor's oral order was a fatal knife.

One is to let her assist the army in taking over the north, and the other is to let her seduce Li Tianze.

Although Li Tianze looks...

It was indeed on her mind.

However, the fact that they broke off the engagement back then had caused some unhappiness in Lijia.

This journey was full of uncertainty.

Now the emperor has issued such an oral order. Doesn’t this cut off all her escape routes?

No, no.

She couldn't lose her composure first.

She calculated quickly in her mind.

After so many years in the harem, she has learned not to sit still and wait for death.

The trip to the north was set in stone, and she had to make other plans.

He called Hong'er over and whispered a few words to her.

Hong'er was the maid she brought from the Ji family. She was loyal to her and had helped her deal with many of the dirty things she encountered in the harem over the years.

"Okay, my lady, I will leave the palace right away."

Hong'er hurriedly left the palace with the token to leave the palace.

Ji Wanxing paced back and forth in the hall. She originally thought that she would have to stay in the harem for the rest of her life.

She was somewhat smug when she received the empress dowager's decree. If the emperor had not given her oral instructions, she would have already made plans.

If she fails to capture Li Tianze in the north this time, she will come back and be her concubine.

Although the emperor no longer has real power, the empress dowager has never cut off the food and clothing of the concubines.

It can even be said that he lived a more carefree life than when Zhao Mingyao had real power.

Although there are constant changes in the harem, it does not hinder those who have family support behind them.

She didn't understand what Zhao Mingyao meant by this oral instruction.

Is it to go against the Queen Mother, or is it simply to annoy me?

However, since he has already issued such an order, if she fails to complete the task this time, she will have no place in this huge harem even if she comes back.

In that case, you can't blame her for being cruel.

Isn't it asked that she seduce Li Tianze?

it is good.

Then let him see that she, Ji Wanxing, is not someone he can abandon at will.

Thinking of Li Tianze, her cheeks couldn't help but feel hot.

To be honest, only she is worthy of such a handsome man.

If Zhao Mingyao had not made a promise back then, or if he had not died while leaving home, they would have been husband and wife by now!

Lord of the North.

Very good, as the lord of a city, I have not disgraced her heart.

Haha, didn’t Zhao Mingyao leave her no way out?

Then she would do as he wished.

The loving couple who were thousands of miles away had no idea that the capital would soon send someone to annoy them.

Even though they have been married for seven days, Li Tianze still enjoys pestering Leng Youran.

This made Leng Youran want to stay away from him.

Fortunately, Leng Yuyang went out with Li Tianze for something that day.

After they left, Leng Youran felt something was wrong.

It had been so many days since the wedding, but nothing had happened in the North.

No matter what you think, it's wrong.

Seeing Li Tianze go to the City Lord's Mansion, she followed him.

After seeing him enter Leng Yuyang's yard, go into the study and wave away the servant outside the door, Leng Youran knew that the two of them were discussing secret matters.

She suddenly felt dissatisfied. She was married, not useless. How could he not take care of her when something happened?

She has been so idle these days that besides back pain, she is almost sick from being idle.

Thinking of this, she didn't alarm the gatekeeper in the outer courtyard, but flew directly to the door of Leng Yuyang's study. Without even knocking, she shouted inside: "Brother, what's the matter? Why didn't you tell me?"

Leng Yuyang and Li Tianze had just arrived at the study and hadn't spoken yet when they heard Leng Youran's voice outside the door.

Leng Youran naturally did it on purpose. She didn't go in directly, but wanted to scare them at the door.

Humph....

Leng Yuyang and Li Tianze in the study heard her voice and spread their hands helplessly.

"You don't care about your wife?"

"Brother, you really think highly of me. How dare I control my wife?"

"Okay, since my little sister is here, let her come in and listen together!"

Leng Youran's ear had been pressed against the door. When she heard Leng Yuyang's words, she didn't even knock on the door. She pushed it open and rushed in. She was so fast that her afterimage was almost invisible.

As soon as he came in, he put his hands on the desk, held his chin, looked at Leng Yuyang and said, "What's the matter, brother?"

Leng Yuyang didn't know whether to be happy or angry when he saw that she was still like a child even after getting married.

He glanced at Li Tianze and saw him walking towards his younger sister with a stool in his hand.

shook his head.

No future.

Really useless....

Li Tianze seemed not to notice his contemptuous look. He put the stool under Leng Youran's butt and arranged for her to sit down. Then he turned around and took a stool and put it next to her, sitting side by side with her.

The couple both stretched their heads out and stared at him blankly.

Leng Yuyang was amused by the two people's appearance. He clenched his fist and put it to his lips and coughed lightly, "You two, hold back and stop acting like no one has a wife."

Leng Youran and Li Tianze looked at each other.

They didn't seem to do anything?

Didn't they say they had something to discuss? Were they waiting for him to say anything wrong?

They are normal, okay?

It is impossible to do anything abnormal in front of him.

cough cough...

The topic has gone off topic.

Close.

"Brother, tell me, what have you discovered?"

Leng Yuyang didn't say anything, but looked at Li Tianze and gave him a look that told him to fend for himself.

This look made Li Tianze break out in a cold sweat.

I kept thinking about what I had done recently.

After searching my memory many times, I finally felt relieved.

He was very sure that he had not done anything out of line or to make his wife angry.

Calmly said: "Speak! Big brother."

Leng Youran cleared his throat. "Ahem, I received news that Zhao Mingyao has sent another 100,000 troops, and..." He glanced at Li Tianze before continuing, "Also accompanying the army this time is an acquaintance of Tianze."
