Lu Jiao didn't refuse. She now devotes all her body and mind to accompany this little guy. She has made a series of study plans for him. In addition to studying and playing, Lu Jiao and Ji Cang made a request to hire Ji Xiu a martial arts master. , to teach him to practice, and the purpose of practicing is not for anything else, but for strengthening the body.

Seeing his son's thin and small appearance, Ji Cang agreed, but the martial arts master he transferred was not too good at martial arts.

Lu Jiao didn't say anything, anyway, this person can still teach Ji Xiu right now.

But two years later, Lu Jiao hooked up another line, and secretly invited Ji Xiu a kung fu master from outside the palace to teach Ji Xiu martial arts.

She is in charge of teaching Ji Xiu's culture class.

Because Prime Minister Cao was paralyzed and the court was chaotic, no one noticed Ji Xiu and Lu Jiao.

In the twenty-eighth year of the First Yuan Dynasty, fifteen-year-old Ji Xiucai emerged.

At this time, the battle for the position of crown prince between the first prince and the second prince really started.

Just at this time, the neighboring country attacked the border of Yao State, and General Gao, who was stationed on the border, rushed to Beijing to ask His Majesty to issue an order to send troops to the border for support.

Ji Cang discussed with the courtiers and chose who would lead the troops to support.

Lu Jiao begged to see Ji Cang.

In the past ten years, the two of them have never slept together in the same bed, because Lu Jiao's body is very weak and cannot bear the things in bed, so at most Ji Cang came to talk to Lu Jiao.

But recently Lu Jiao's health is getting worse and worse, Ji Cang is very worried seeing her like this.

They've been friends for ten years, which is actually pretty good.

"Why did you see me?"

Ji Cang's own health is also not good. In the past ten years, besides asking about the affairs of the court, he has been busy letting Taoist priests make alchemy, and he will take health-preserving pills every now and then.

It's a pity that the health-preserving pill was useless at all. Ji Cang killed many Taoist priests because of it, and became very tyrannical.

However, it was not so cruel to Lu Jiao, because Lu Jiao was not in good health, Ji Cang felt a little pity for her when he saw her.

Lu Jiao took a deep breath, knelt down and greeted Ji Cang first, and then said, "I heard that His Majesty sent troops to the border to support General Gao. I came here to ask His Majesty to give Xiu'er a chance to let him Follow the army to the border to support General Gao in fighting the chaos."

"Please Your Majesty also allow Xiu'er to guard the border with General Gao."

After she finished speaking, she panted heavily, and she was very weak, as if she might faint at any moment.

Seeing her like this, Ji Cang quickly asked her to sit up.

Thinking of Lu Jiao's proposal, he frowned slightly: "I remember that Xiu'er is only fifteen years old this year."

"Returning to Your Majesty, yes, the concubine's body seems to be dying, and I want to arrange a way out for Xiu'er, please allow me to ask Your Majesty."

As soon as Lu Jiao said, Ji Cang understood that this man might die soon, because he was worried about his son, so he wanted to arrange a way for him to go.

Ji Cang didn't speak, Lu Jiao pretended to kneel down to Ji Cang again: "Your Majesty, please allow me."

Seeing that she was so weak, Ji Cang pleaded for his son's life. After thinking about it seriously, it was feasible.

In any case, as his son, Ji Xiu was ordered to go to the border to support General Gao, which could inspire the confidence of the soldiers at the border, and it was also good for him that Ji Xiu left Beijing to station at the border.

Ji Cang finally agreed.

Unexpectedly, Lu Jiao made another request: "Your Majesty, please allow me to accompany you with me."

This time Ji Cang was startled, and stared at Lu Jiao: "You have such poor health, and you still have to follow the army, aren't you making fun of your own body?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, Xiu'er is only fifteen years old after all, I am really worried and want to see him settle down at the border with my own eyes."

"Your Majesty, don't look at me in dire condition, but I won't die if I don't see Xiu'er gaining a foothold on the border."

After she finished speaking, she panted hard and tried her best to stabilize her body.

Seeing her like this, Ji Cang was somewhat envious of Ji Xiu. No matter what, Ji Xiu had a good mother and concubine, why didn't he meet her.

Ji Cang was moved by Lu Jiao's loving mother's heart, and finally agreed: "Okay, but this matter must not be leaked, you quietly go to the border with the army, if you find something wrong on the way, come back immediately."

Lu Jiao immediately got up to thank her: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

In the early morning of the next day, His Royal Highness Ji Cang issued an order, ordering the Seventh Prince Ji Xiu to lead an army to the border to support General Gao and others.

Naturally, there were people in the court who objected, but Ji Cang didn't let the Seventh Prince lead the troops alone, but also ordered two generals to accompany him, and the Seventh Prince was just a helper.

The courtiers finally stopped talking. They didn't have much impression of the Seventh Prince who grew up in Yongfu Palace.

The army set off three days later and went straight to the border Jiaguan.

Lu Jiao breathed a sigh of relief, Ji Xiu left the palace smoothly, and it will be different when he returns to the palace in the future.

Ji Xiu himself didn't have much thought about the throne, but thinking of Lu Jiao's plan for him every step of the way, he was determined to win the throne of the king of Yao, and when the time came, he would make his mother the queen mother of Yao, and then no one would dare to bully her. .

"Mother, just wait, my son will make you the queen mother of Yao, and whoever dares to bully you by then will be killed."

The black line on Lu Jiao's face, she has taught the little guy for nearly ten years, the little guy is still a little cruel, but fortunately he can't move, so he peels his skin and gouges his eyes.

Now she has some headaches, Ji Xiu is very attached to her, if she leaves, will this guy continue to blacken, she has to think of an idea to stop him from blackening.

Lu Jiao looked at Ji Xiu with a smile while thinking, "Then mother is waiting."

Ji Xiu laughed flamboyantly, as if the throne was a random thing.

For three years, Ji Xiu had controlled all the soldiers and horses in Jiahai Customs. On the surface, General Gao was still in charge, but in private, the soldiers and horses in Jiahai Customs obeyed Ji Xiu's orders.

Except for Jiaguan, all the nearby soldiers and horses surrendered to Ji Xiu. He was the general who really controlled the real power.

Eighteen-year-old Ji Xiu, with handsome features and deep eyes, with a faint light shining in his sharp-edged pupils, when looking at people, one can easily feel that he is bloodthirsty and not easy to provoke.

Not to mention the ordinary soldiers in the army, even General Gao could feel the coercion and strength that came to him every time he faced him.

This kind of him is like a bloodthirsty and ferocious lion, who can bite off your neck if you don't pay attention.

Fortunately, this man has a weakness, and Empress Bai is his weakness.

In the past three years, Ji Xiu has been busy controlling the border guards, and Lu Jiao has not been idle either. She used her medical skills and money to attract many available people, and established an intelligence agency to monitor the movements of Beijing and the courtiers. .

From the information, Lu Jiao gradually learned about the latest developments in Beijing.

"The eldest prince fell off his horse and was blinded by a branch on the ground."

"The second prince was assassinated and his hamstring was broken. Now he can't even walk."

"The third prince has become more active recently, and he tends to be in charge frequently."

"Your Majesty is getting worse and worse."

Lu Jiao looked at the information in her hand with a smile, looked at Ji Xiu who came in from the outside, and said with a warm smile, "Xiu'er, it's time for us to return to Beijing."

Ji Xiu strode over and sat beside her: "Okay, everything will be arranged by mother."

"Then you gather a thousand elite soldiers and horses overnight, and it's almost time for us to return to Beijing to take back your throne."
