In the past few days, whenever Xuanhuang had free time, he would spend time in his room tinkering with medicinal herbs.
Chu Linfeng didn't care much about her. Anyway, as long as she stayed in Dongyuan, he wouldn't go out of his way to cause trouble for her.
Moreover, after the new emperor came to power, he also wanted to consolidate the power in the DPRK and China. He was extremely busy these days.
Moreover, he had just moved to a new residence of the Prince Regent. Guests came to visit the Prince Regent every day. The two newly married concubines had also just entered the house, and he had taken five or six beautiful women as concubines. The women in the Prince's Palace had made such a mess. He was so overwhelmed that he had no time to take care of her.
Xuanhuang just moved from the East Garden of the King's Palace in the South Campus to the East Garden of the Regent's Residence. The house and garden were several times larger than before, and there were no other changes.
Living in the prince's palace is definitely a life without worries, just like a canary being raised by the prince in a cage made of gold and jade. It is pampered and pampered every day with fine clothes and food. The life of pampering is actually not difficult to endure.
Apart from being a bit boring, everything else is bearable.
Chu Linfeng's concubine didn't dare to come to Dongyuan to cause trouble for her. I don't know if Chu Linfeng had specifically intimidated her, or if she had stabbed Lian Shuhai twice last time, scaring everyone to death. .
No matter what the reason was, she was quite happy anyway, and being clean allowed her to concentrate on getting the medicinal materials.
Her efforts in the past few days were definitely not in vain. She only needed two or three herbs to suppress toxins in her body, and she was done.
As for the missing medicinal materials, she actually had them in her original space dagger, so the top priority was to find a way to steal her equipment back. Otherwise, she could directly ask Chu Linfeng to go there...
Xiao Lu hurried in, holding a large plate of pastries in her hand, holding a piece in her mouth and shouting inarticulately, "Xuanhuang Xuanhuang is not good."
"Hey, didn't you go to the kitchen to get pastries? Now that you've got such a big plate, what's wrong?"
"It's not about the pastry." Xiao Lu hurriedly swallowed, wiped her mouth and took Xuanhuang's hand and said, "I heard from the maid sister outside that the king will lead an army of 100,000 people to attack Tianbo City tomorrow."
"Tianbo City?" Xuanhuang was stunned.
"It's Beixiao's Tianbo City. If it is breached, Beixiao's gate will be open to the enemy."
"It's the border city connecting with Donghua!" Xuanhuang took a breath of air, "Why did you suddenly open fire on Xiao Guo?"
"I don't know about this either." Xiaolu covered her mouth with her hand and moved towards Xuanhuang's ear, "But I heard that Chu Linfeng's few words inspired him to fight. When we go out tomorrow, Chu Linfeng will have to take him with him. All the ministers in the court are going to Beacon Tower to see King Donghua on his journey."
Xuanhuang's eyes turned cold, "Did Chu Linfeng say that if the king wants to establish prestige in the court, he must establish military merit, and there is currently a fastest and best way to establish military merit..."
"If your Majesty is timid, you don't have to go. I'll let my humble ministers lead a hundred thousand troops to crush Tianbo City!" Chu Linfeng threw down his sleeves heavily, and his black brocade robe slid across the smooth marble floor.
"Your Majesty! The Lord of Tianbo City is so audacious that he actually killed three of my border guards! This is because my new Lord has been bullied into taking the position. He has not yet established a firm foothold and dare not fight against them. If Your Majesty doesn't fight back, it will only make them worse. Get worse!" an old minister said impassionedly.
"That's right! Your Majesty! If the imperial commander goes on a personal expedition now, it will definitely boost the morale of all the sergeants in Donghua. On the contrary, it will destroy the morale of all the soldiers in Donghua. Moreover, doing this in Beixiao Tianbo City is nothing more than a slap in the face of your Majesty. Remember the slap, if your Majesty does not plan a counterattack, the people of Donghua will be extremely angry."
"Coco... I want you to go... to conquer in person, this... this..." He Lianpeng sat on the throne of the king, sitting on pins and needles, constantly moving his buttocks, with a look of fright on his face, "This... regent
king."
"Then let me lead one hundred thousand soldiers! Your Majesty, just sit at home and continue to sing and dance to bring peace!" Chu Linfeng curled his lips and his attitude was extremely wanton and unrestrained.
"Okay, okay, let the regent lead the troops..." Although he knew that the regent's words were full of sarcasm and did not take him as a king seriously at all, He Lianpeng still endured it to save his life.
Unexpectedly, the concubine Wang who was listening to the government behind the curtain became angry, "Your Majesty! Tianbo Mansion only has 10,000 troops. If you lead a hundred thousand people, you are guaranteed to win! What are you afraid of? How can you let the regent do everything?
Hard work? What the regent said is true. If the king wants to establish prestige in the court, he must establish military exploits."
"What the Empress Mother is saying is that she wants the widow to go and fight in person?"
"Exactly!" Wang Guifei's two decisive words decided the tragic fate of their mother and son.
But Wang Guifei is still ignorant of the unknown. Just when she said the words "exactly", she fell into the trap carefully laid out for her by Chu Linfeng.
A woman who was the Queen Mother for the first time, who had just gained power and had a taste of the beauty of power, and a woman who was arrogant and extravagant and did not know how to advance or retreat. Naturally, she could not stand Chu Linfeng riding on top of their mother and son and insulting them with words...
Xuanhuang unclenched his small fist and let a handful of tiny flowers fall to the ground in pieces. He swept his sleeves with a smile and turned around, "King Donghua will definitely lose this battle."
"No way! He brought a hundred thousand troops! Northern Xiao Tianbo City only has ten thousand soldiers defending the city! There is a huge disparity in strength. Why are you so sure that Xuanhuang is not worried about Xiao Guo at all?"
Xuanhuang sneered slightly, "Chu Linfeng finally coaxed that idiot king to a dead end, how could he win? The death of those three city guards must have been caused by Chu Linfeng's people."
Xiao Lu was a little stunned, "Chu Linfeng is so insidious."
Xuanhuang reached out and touched his head, "You are too naive. But you are still young, so you will not understand some things clearly. As you grow older and experience more things, you will naturally get better."
"I'm not young at all." Xiao Lu protested angrily when Xuanhuang said he was young.
Xuanhuang walked into the house and said vaguely, "A border defense city between Donghua and Beixiao. A city that plays a decisive role in affecting the overall situation! With talents like Xiao Yunchen and Xiao Yunxin, do you think...
Are there really only 10,000 troops for defense?"
How could a king who guides the country and make decisions for thousands of miles not know the importance of border defense? The reality is false, and the false is real. Perhaps only Yun Chen and Yun Xin know how many ambushes and hidden stakes there really are.
And Chu Linfeng had calculated exactly this point.
This trick of borrowing a knife to kill someone is quite good!
Little Green's eyes widened, and she swung her head and ran in behind Xuanhuang, shouting all the way, "Xuanhuang! They are all too shady!"
"Did she really say that?" Chu Linfeng put down his cup and stared at Dunsheng who was reporting in front of him with amusement.
Suddenly, there was a burst of hearty laughter.
She is truly the woman that Chu Linfeng likes, her eyesight and talent are both extraordinary...
