After hearing this, Concubine De came to her senses for a while. She showed surprise without hesitation like a child.

"Your Majesty, please let Ke'er lead the troops..." Concubine De smiled, "We Ke'er will definitely not disappoint the emperor, Ke'er will listen to you carefully."

The emperor nodded: "It's a pity that the timing is a little wrong." After the Yongchun Palace, Concubine Jiang looked very at peace, but she didn't know what she was planning. He was right to use Jiang's family, but he also gave them enough wealth and glory to their mother and son. If she was smart, she should know her fate. She acted according to his wishes and gave them a place to live in the future.

The Wei family is the next one.

The war in Yongping Prefecture was very fierce. Before the reinforcements arrived, the guard station in the north of Yongping Prefecture was attacked by the rebels of King Liang. Huairou's son-in-law Cheng Yu led his troops to guard the barriers while also having to deal with all the rebel generals of the guards taking the opportunity to cooperate inside and outside. Thanks to Wei Yuanchen arrived in time, otherwise Cheng Yu would have been killed in battle.

According to the emperor's arrangement, Wei Yuanchen was asked to restrain the rebels. General Dong, who he sent, led his troops to raid on the road, caught Liang Wang off guard, and won the battle as quickly as possible, encouraging the morale of the soldiers of the Great Zhou. As a result, before General Dong arrived in Daning, he was ambushed by King Liang first. Five thousand elite soldiers died and injured. The remaining people were captured together with General Dong. He had just received the battle report, and Wei Yuanchen led his troops to rescue General Dong and others.

The man was rescued, but the strategy he set in advance was useless. As a defeated general, General Dong's only thing he could do now is to follow Wei Yuanchen and make up for his mistakes.

The emperor's eyes were too long. He asked General Dong and the deputy general to act according to the opportunity. When the rebellion was quelled and the Great Zhou took control of the war, he found an opportunity to get rid of Wei Yuanchen. I wonder if it could be done.

The battle situation in northern Xinjiang is much more complicated than he thought. It seems that it is impossible to get Daning back in one fell swoop. With General Dong's aggressive advance, many officials in the court also agreed with Wei Yuanchen's opinion. King Liang had been planning in Daning for a long time, and with the support of the Urianha tribe, it was not easy for the court to use troops in Daning in a hurry. He should first consolidate the defense line in the northern border before making other plans.

The northern border is now in chaos, and it is not that the Great Zhou did not have enough troops to deal with King Liang. If King Liang really had the strength, he would not have used those conspiracies behind his back.

Even if the emperor did not want to recognize Wei Yuanchen, the current situation was indeed as Wei Yuanchen said, and doing so would be the most beneficial to the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The Wei family still has the ability to lead troops. Unfortunately, they are groups of unfamiliar wild wolves, so they may not be able to bite the master one day. The emperor sighed deeply when he thought of this.

"Your Majesty, don't worry," Concubine De said softly, "I come to serve the emperor every day to drink medicine. The emperor will be healthy soon. When the emperor gets well, everything will be fine. Back then, the emperor personally led the King of Liang, and the King of Liang was vulnerable. Now the King of Liang is the same. He will be killed by the Emperor sooner or later."

Hearing Concubine De's words, the emperor felt a little angry: "If I were safe, I would have been killed by King Liang."

"So the emperor must recuperate carefully," said Defei, "As long as the emperor recovers from his illness, all the problems can be solved."

The emperor felt much more relieved when he listened to Concubine De's words and leaned on the soft collapse and rested peacefully.

Concubine De gently kneaded the emperor's forehead.

The emperor's symmetrical breathing slowly sounded in the inner hall.

Huang Chang lowered his head and retreated from the inner hall. He had been with the emperor for a long time and could understand the holy intention. Just like the emperor's feelings when he loved Concubine De, he saw it without any loss.

The emperor was waiting patiently. When he ascended the throne and stabilized the political situation, he then included Concubine De in the palace. Such thoughts had never been spent on other women.

So when he was in the palace, when he saw Concubine De attacking Zhou Zecheng, he helped him, for nothing else. With such a handle in his hand, Concubine De would definitely use it for him in the future, and he was sure to be accurate.

...

Late at night in the palace.

Not long after Empress Defei returned to Yongchun Palace, a well made a "thump" sound in the small yard behind Yongchun Palace, as if something had fallen into it. Fortunately, the main halls of Yongchun Palace in the small yard were a little distance away, otherwise the sound would have woken up the entire Yongchun Palace from its sleep.

At dawn, the palace servant went to the small yard to dry the bedding and found an extinguished wind lamp next to the well.

The small courtyard is a little far from the main hall of Yongchun Palace. On weekdays, people use the well next to the side hall to get water, and rarely come here, so... who would put the wind lamp next to the well?

Although it was a trivial matter, the palace servant was still preparing to report it to the female official Chen beside the concubine De, but she found that the female official Chen was not in the duty room.

"Where has Chen Lan been going?" Empress Defei got up early and did not see the female official Chen, so she asked the palace servants.

The palace servant said: "The female official Shen was not in Yongchun Palace."

Concubine De frowned: "Ask the eunuch guarding the door, have you seen Madam Chen go out?"

The palace servant hurriedly said, "I asked, but I didn't see Madam Chen stepping out of the palace gate."

"That's strange," said Concubine De, "If someone goes everywhere, the person must be in the palace."

Since Empress Defei entered the palace, Mrs. Chen has been serving by her side and has gained the trust of her. Many things in the palace have to be arranged by the female official. Mrs. Chen suddenly disappeared, which caused quite a stir in Yongchun Palace.

Even Concubine De had no appetite to eat and was waiting for news in the yard.

"Empress...Empress...people...seem to be found."

Hearing the anxious voice of the eunuch, Concubine De raised her head: "What does it mean to find it? Where is the person?"

The eunuch looked ugly and stuttered for a while: "Maybe...it may be in the well in the small yard."

"What?" Concubine De's face suddenly turned pale, and she was anxious and staggered under her feet and almost fell to the ground.

The palace servant hurriedly stepped forward to support Concubine De.

Concubine De finally recovered: "Are you sure? Is it really a female official?"

The eunuch's voice trembled: "It's still... not yet... the eunuch at the palace gate was not allowed to come forward when he saw this situation, and then he rushed to report to the Queen."

Concubine De wanted to go and see, but was stopped by the palace servants and eunuchs: "Empress, you can't go."

As he spoke, he felt a sound coming from the door. Concubine De looked up and saw several eunuchs walking towards the backyard with poles and ropes.

"The Empress ordered someone to pick up the body in the well. You should go back to the inner hall to avoid being hit."

Concubine De looked at the eunuch, and the eunuch received the order: "I will keep an eye on it, and if there is news, report it to the empress."

Concubine De returned to the inner hall and sat on a chair. About three minutes later, the eunuch came in and reported: "The people sent by the Empress have salvaged the body. Those people are surrounded by the well. I couldn't go up to see it at first until they lifted the body out. I squeezed forward to see... Although I had long hair covering my face and couldn't see clearly, I saw the clothes worn by the corpse, which was the female official who was Shen."

Concubine De was almost breathless when she got the news: "No, I want to see it..."
