Chapter 176 The smell of tea in the tea
After a night, Hua Xiaoer's condition was relatively stable. She woke up early the next morning. When she realized what a stupid thing she had done, she didn't even have the courage to apologize to Xuan Qing and Jiang Changle.
She didn't even dare to go to the Jiang family to see a doctor. She ordered them to carry her home immediately. Did she resent Xuan Qing for stabbing her with a sword? No, no, she asked for it.
Being able to save her life was already a blessing from the Jiang family to her. Naturally, the other party was also doing it for Xuan Lan's sake. She even had to ask for Xuan Lan's forgiveness with her injuries.
However, Xuanlan had no time to pay attention to Hua Er. Xuan's mother was going to the west to carry out construction and deal with the fifth princess by the way. When she was saying goodbye to the Jiang family, Xuanlan arrived with the child in her arms and a small bag.
"Mom, take me with you." His wife is unreliable, and he has good resources like the Xuan family. If he doesn't give his children something, the future is doomed to be tragic.
After this incident, Xuanlan suddenly understood a truth: because of their relationship with the Jiang family, others would not let you go just because you wanted to live in comfort.
The Jiang family will only become more powerful and extraordinary. If the opponents cannot tear off a piece of flesh from the Jiang family, they will definitely start with the people around the Jiang family.
These soft persimmons are the stepping stones for the opponents to harm the Jiang family, and they are the first group to die, so they must become strong themselves in order to survive.
Xuan's mother was pleased with Xuanlan's request, "What are your plans for the child?" The child was too young, and their conditions were not as good as the Jiang family's, so they naturally couldn't take him with them on the road.
"Please help take care of the child, Dad." There was probably only one old father in the world who treated him wholeheartedly. Xuanlan handed the child to Fen Shoufu without hesitation.
"Father, I'm begging you for my child. I will definitely come back with glory and take you and the child to live a good life."
He is a mature man now and can no longer rely on his parents or his wife, who is not his only wife. From now on, he has to rely on himself and provide for his father and children.
"Okay, okay, Daddy will take good care of the baby for you. I will bring him over often to play with his brothers and sisters."
Fen Shoufu has completely lost his original arrogance and prying mind. For the sake of his child, he has to shamelessly cling to Xuanqing and the Fourth Princess.
It is also a good deal to let Xuanlan's child serve as a companion to the Jiang family's child.
Fen the Beast's plan was obvious, just like when he first arrived and robbed the Jiang family of their things.
As I said, for the sake of Xuanmu, both Xuanqing and Jiang Changle will give some face.
Besides, the child is innocent. "Okay, although I can't guarantee anything, as long as we take care of him a little while we return to Jiuer County, it's still okay."
Xuan Qing agreed to this. Only by controlling the child would Xuan Lan be completely devoted to the Jiang family. He knew clearly that the more intense the competition, the more they needed loyal subordinates.
At least on the surface, the two brothers loved each other, and Xuan's mother was happy to see it. "That's it, let's go." As for the Hua family, Xuan's mother didn't even need to say hello, who would care about it.
"Please, wish my mother a safe journey, a successful start, and a triumphant return."
Jiang Changle was holding the child and did not see him off in person, but asked Xuanqing to escort him out of the city.
Of course, Xuanmu did not go with Xuanlan alone. There were also many of her left-wing relatives and guards who were carrying some supplies and heading towards the snow-stricken area in the west.
There is no need to conceal their whereabouts. Firstly, they have considerable strength. Secondly, whether it is the right wing, the second princess or the fifth princess, they are all now too busy to handle everything.
Jiang Changle has Saker Falcon to report news, and also has flying orcs to travel back and forth between various places to push messages and orders.
The Fifth Princess naturally also had flying orcs to carry out secret orders. Within a few days, the news of the failure of the Jiuer County operation reached her.
"How could this be?" The fifth princess jumped up in shock, her face full of disbelief. Without delay, she picked up the letter and hurried to the courtyard next door.
But when she arrived at the courtyard, she slowed down her pace, took small and graceful steps, and walked towards the pavilion not far away. "Aci, there's news from Jiuer County."
The Fifth Princess spoke in a calm tone, with a hint of familiarity, as if she was sharing a trivial matter with a friend.
Snow was falling in the courtyard, and the plum blossoms were blooming in the cold. The petals were as red as fire and so gorgeous that they formed a sharp contrast with the surrounding white snow, just like a beautiful painting.
In the thatched pavilion, a young man with black hair like a waterfall and dressed in white was sitting leisurely on a blanket by the fire. His slender fingers gently stroked the strings of the quaint zither in front of him. The sound of the zither rose up, melodious and graceful, like the love of plum blossoms, which was very appropriate to the scene.
After hearing the voice, the man stopped playing the piano and stood up to greet the woman. "What news?" He had a handsome face, with a slightly raised corner of his mouth and a faint smile. He looked friendly and easy to get along with.
The fifth princess has long, smooth golden hair, and her facial features are naturally good. She also has the aura and style of a princess.
As soon as she arrived, the servants who followed her immediately became busy around her, hanging up the heating curtains in the pavilion, adding fire, burning incense, and bringing snacks and delicacies to the small table.
The Fifth Princess' eyes flickered slightly, and she covered her mouth and whispered, "I heard that Second Sister and Fourth Sister started fighting, but don't worry, Ah Ci. Second Sister's 10,000 garrison troops plus the Xuanmen Right Faction and the local county government are no match for Fourth Sister's hundreds of Black Dragon Guards.
Moreover, my fourth sister gave birth to a child. Do you think this is true or false?
Oh, I forgot, Ah Ci is now my fiancé, you shouldn't be thinking about Fourth Sister anymore, right? I'm going to be jealous if you dare to deny me."
The fifth princess winked at Gu Ci playfully, but the nails in her sleeves had dug into her flesh, causing pain, but she remained calm.
Gu Ci was stunned. The Fifth Princess didn't know what he was so upset about. Was it because he hadn't been able to kill Jiang Changle, or was it because he was sad that Jiang Changle had given birth to a child?
Yes, Jiang Changle actually gave birth to five children! They were the first generation of the Eastern Dynasty's imperial grandchildren. How could one not hate them?
She had dug so many traps in Jiuer County waiting for Jiang Changle to fall into them. She had painstakingly obtained those strategies from Gu Ci, the wisest man, but Jiang Changle still won?
How powerful is that damn bitch now? Or how many unknown abilities does the Black Dragon Guard have? Otherwise, how could that nymphomaniac Jiang Changle possibly defeat Gu Ci's plan?
After a long while, Gu Ci finally sighed with some disappointment, "Alas, she... never mind. Your Highness should persuade the two princesses not to start a war, otherwise the people will suffer.
The battlefields in the north and east are now very unstable due to the loss of the Black Dragon Guards. I am afraid there will be tough battles to fight when spring comes. The second princess should focus on defending her country.
There's a snowstorm in the west. Even if supplies haven't arrived yet, Your Highness, we should set off. It's good to share the hardships with the people. The accumulation of public support is often reflected in the details~"
The Fifth Princess found her next move from the details in Gu Ci's words.
