In the hall with boxes stacked on top of each other, a room full of people were waiting anxiously, but they froze when they saw the person walking in.

Yan Ling'er's proud smile froze on her face as she watched the eunuch respectfully present the imperial edict with both hands.

A hand with sharp bones took out the imperial edict and unfolded it. The warm red phoenix eyes swept over Yan Ling'er with cold light, and his voice was clear and gentle: "The Holy One has an edict! Yan Qing listens to the edict!"

Yan Qing frowned slightly as he watched Meng Shulan take the imperial edict from the eunuch's hand. He was about to speak when he saw Yan Ling'er standing aside. He couldn't help but swallow the words back and led everyone in the Marquis Mansion to kneel down to receive the edict.

"Your Majesty, Yan Qing, accept the order!"

"The emperor was entrusted by Heaven to carry out the edict: Yan Qing, the vanguard general of the garrison camp in Erjun County, Western Xinjiang, is capable of fighting, brave and loyal to the country, and has repeatedly made meritorious deeds. Hereby, he is moved to be the commander of the garrison army in Erjun County, Western Xinjiang, and is given the title of General Mingfeng. I read the general to defend the country.

You have performed a great service, but you are also seriously injured. You are allowed to temporarily stay in the Marquis Mansion to recuperate. I appreciate this!"

"Thank you for your grace!"

Yan Qing bowed his head in the direction of Dayan Palace and raised his hands above his head to receive the order.

"This is impossible!"

Suddenly, there was a roar, causing everyone to turn their attention to Yan Ling'er.

"The Hou Mansion is a super official residence. How can He De, a young border guard like her, live in this Hou Mansion?!"

Yan Ling'er asked in a hateful voice, her bright face twisted and deformed, as ferocious as an evil ghost.

Meng Shulan said with a cold look: "Is Princess Su dissatisfied with the Holy Majesty's will?"

Yan Ling'er trembled and said unwillingly: "I don't dare, but the super-grade official residence has a lot of implications. I'm afraid it's inappropriate to let a low-grade border guard general live here."

"It's better for the princess to be cautious about what happened in the previous dynasty."

The chamberlain glanced at Yan Ling'er coldly and gave a gentle reminder.

A layer of cold sweat suddenly broke out on Yan Linger's back.

Interfering in politics in the backyard is a taboo!

The royal family was especially taboo about this matter.

The corner of Yan Ling'er's eyes suddenly glanced at Yan Qing, who ordered someone to put away the imperial edict. Jealousy gnawed at her heart like a poisonous snake.

We are both women, why can I only be a lowly servant in this woman's backyard and be punished by others? Even a eunuch dares to show shame to me!

But she, Yan Qing, could be the female general that everyone sought after, chatting and laughing happily in the previous dynasty!

Why?!

"General Mingfeng is injured, so he can't take care of himself. Why don't the princess come to visit another day?"

When the chamberlain saw Yan Ling'er's expression, his eyes darkened and he spoke before Meng Shulan.

Yan Ling'er saw a strong warning in his eyes. Even though she was unwilling to do so, she knew that with Meng Shulan supporting Yan Qing, she could not do anything to Yan Qing.

"Sister, take good care of yourself. We will have a long time ahead."

Yan Ling'er gave Yan Qing a hateful look, lowered her voice and spoke to Yan Qing, bowed Yingying to Meng Shulan, and led her people out of the Hou Mansion.

"The Holy One is still waiting for the Zajia's reply, so the Zajia also resigned first."

When the chamberlain saw Yan Ling'er leaving, he also said goodbye.

After waiting for the servant to go away, Yan Qing said: "Did you bring Prince Su's people here specially?"

Meng Shulan smiled lightly: "Isn't it interesting to see them dog-eat-dog? You can be clean for a few days."

"Those are your cousin and cousin-in-law." Yan Qing reminded.

"I dare not recognize the cousin who put nails in my father's side, or the cousin who made things worse for my cousin."

Meng Shulan scoffed and changed the subject, "How is your injury?"

"I'm afraid it won't be cured within half a year."

Yan Qing lowered her eyelashes and gently brought up the topic, "I'm afraid there has been a lot of quarrel in the court during this period, right? Does the Lord have anyone in mind?"

Meng Shulan was silent.

Yan Qing understood instantly.

"That's fine."

Yan Qing traced the inscriptions on the commander's seal, and his downcast eyebrows made it difficult to see his emotions, "You have been in Western Xinjiang for five years and are familiar with military affairs. You have your own supporters in the army, the status of a county king, and military merits."

If you are in charge of the commander-in-chief of Western Xinjiang, those people will not be able to find any mistakes. And if it were you, you would not ruin the thirty-seven cities of Western Xinjiang. I have lived up to my father and brother's trust."

"I'm not good at martial arts. You are more suitable for this position than me." Meng Shulan said.

"The commander's duty is to lead the entire army and deploy troops. He should not go into battle personally unless absolutely necessary. When it comes to strategy alone, even my father said that I am not as good as you. What are you worried about?"

Yan Qing looked directly at Meng Shulan, "And if you want to negotiate with Nanchuanzhou, it will be much easier if you have the identity of the commander-in-chief of Western Xinjiang."

"If I took over the army of Western Xinjiang, wouldn't what you said on the street become a laughing stock for others?"

Meng Shulan pondered, "Others in the Yan family may not agree with you handing over military power."

"If I were someone who would die if someone laughed at me, my father would have thrown me back to Kangdu. Why would he let me be laughed at in Western Xinjiang for so many years?"

Yan Qing couldn't laugh or cry at the reasons given by Meng Shulan.

He always liked to think too much about himself, and sometimes she couldn't tell whether this person was her staff or her father.

"As for the rest of the Yan family, you don't have to worry."

Yan Qing said sternly, "The ancestors of the Yan family set the rules at the beginning. Until the head of the Yan family dies, no one else can comment on any decision. However, those people have lived too comfortably in these years and have long forgotten the rules of the ancestors.

"

"It just so happens that Xijiang is handed over to you, so I can have some free time and set rules for them!"

Seeing the cold light flashing in Yan Qing's eyes, Meng Shulan's eyes darkened, his brows furrowed slightly, and his thin lips pursed tightly.

"I can help you."

He couldn't say such a simple sentence.

There was no reason for him to interfere in the Yan family's family affairs.

After thinking about it, the only thing I could do for her was to accept the Commander-in-Chief Seal of Xijiang, so that she wouldn't have no last support.

He is still just the military advisor worthy of her trust.

I really don't know whether I should be happy or sad.

Meng Shulan calmed down her emotions and said solemnly: "I will guard the Western Frontier for you and wait for your return."

"Things that others would like to hold tightly in their hands still feel hot to your hands."

Yan Qing smiled and joked, "How stupid."

Meng Shulan traced the features of the person in front of her and saw that her smile was as bright as a flower, hiding the complexity that overflowed in her features.

Don't you know that the military power handed over is just water thrown out?

but……

"The Yan family has protected Western Xinjiang from generation to generation for the sake of its peace."

Yan Qing placed the commander's seal heavily in Meng Shulan's hand and said loudly, "If someone can carry this banner, it doesn't matter who he is."

Meng Shulan's heart tightened, and the temperature in her palms spread along her meridians to the bottom of her heart.

There was a handsome seal made of black iron in his clear eyes. Meng Shulan sighed slightly, clenched the handsome seal in his palm, and solemnly said: "The final general will definitely live up to his command."

Yan Qing watched Meng Shulan leave with a complicated expression.

The handsome seal means power, but also risk.

In his previous life, he died because of himself, but in this life, he was pushed to the forefront of such a storm...

Yan Qing frowned, and his heart felt as heavy as a huge stone, but he heard Qing Yi say: "Miss, there is a letter from Huxi's hometown."

Yan Qing's eyes suddenly turned cold.
