When Noble Consort Guo heard her last words, she laughed in her heart. You're about to lose your life, yet you want to "cooperate" with my son? Huai Shan saw the corner of Noble Consort Guo's mouth twitched and shouted, "Men, lock this bitch up in a cell and interrogate her in detail. Have the two thousand guards of the palace to capture the traitor Song Ming, and kill him if he wants to see his corpse!"

Hui Fei immediately collapsed when she heard Noble Consort Guo's words, "Poison Woman, it's you, you did all this!"

Huai Shan placed the Imperial Jade Seal on a few tables and rushed over. Using all his strength, he twisted his hand and broke Hui Fei's neck, and seeing that she was no longer breathing, he turned around and kneeled down to apologise, "Empress, please forgive me.

Noble Consort Guo remained calm and asked, "What's wrong?"

Huai Shan pretended to be guilty, "Her neck was too thin, and he accidentally broke it!"

Noble Consort Guo let out a long sigh of relief, "Then you can only blame yourself for being careless. The punishment for offending your superiors should have been heavy, but considering that you did this to protect my reputation and unintentionally caused me to let you live for a month with a salary of three months!"

Huai Shan snickered in his heart, punishing himself for being unpunished, not only did he not point to that idea of a salary to live his life, being grounded for a month, what he said was a punishment, but actually, he did not want to be questioned by others, and then, there would not be so much trouble.

His heart was filled with joy and sorrow, "I thank Empress for your mercy in not killing me!"

The concubines present were not fools. Seeing him and his mistress acting together, they had no choice but to do so, afraid that Hui Fei's matter would implicate them. They all added insult to injury, hoping that the Noble Consort Guo would let them get away with it.

As expected, after Hui Fei died, the Noble Consort Guo was in great spirits. The remaining concubines were all sent to the home temple to recite scriptures for the Emperor.

Only now did the bottle realise that the Imperial Jade Seal Huai Shan left on the table just now had disappeared!

The Liangzhou was the largest city on the west side of the Dazhou, with a population of about a million. It was originally a very rich city, but because of the war over the past two years, the population had been declining year by year, and now, there were less than five hundred thousand people.

Since the death of the emperor, the Noble Consort Guo bestowed Hui Fei death. She no longer had any other choice but to flee to the territory of the Prince Liang to establish herself as king under the advice of the strategists.

Right now, the Dazhou was in a mess. The vassal lords were busy seizing power while the officials of the late emperor were busy seizing his power. The little emperor was busy taking power, so he did not have the time to bother with the extermination of his family.

Prince Liang also imagined how mighty Ning Wang was, but it was a pity that he had no good intentions in his heart, no good generals in foreign battles, and so his wish to rope in a loyal duke was rejected, but he was not discouraged. In the end, he had actually married his own sister, Xi and princess, to the new top scholar, Wang Chun, and allowed his high position to bring in a handsome young man.

Wang Chun was also loyal to the Prince Liang, and knew that he was most lacking in troops. Furthermore, Liang Zhou was very close to the Locked Yang Pass, so if the Iron family couldn't hold the fort, then Liang Zhou would be finished in a few days.

In order to capture the Iron family, Song Ming had to expend a lot of effort and resources to do so. Although the spies he sent out were unable to rescue Tie Yi, in the end, he had still heard that Tie Yi had followed a caravan through the Western Gorge. If he could find Tie Yi, it would be equivalent to obtaining the Iron Army.

A guard came in to report, "Reporting to Your Highness, we've received an urgent report today, General Long Wei has suddenly withdrawn his troops, and the army of Tung Hook is already approaching the Qingyang City. The Qingyang City's guard, General Li, has asked Liang Prefecture, Jin Prefecture, and Xu Cheng for help!"

Prince Liang suddenly jumped up, "The heavens want me to die! Didn't the Iron Army have a good fight? Didn't I hear that they have already taken back the Clear River Town? Why would there be a sudden withdrawal? Could it be that they have pledged their allegiance to Uncle Wang? "

Wang Chun frowned, and spoke calmly: "Your Highness, please be patient, the Iron family has been loyal throughout the years, but this time, they must have sent someone to investigate the situation, and come up with a plan, once they pull back, it will be difficult for them to resist the Tung Hook's army, so we should make the plans as soon as possible!"

The Prince Liang said anxiously, "Even I want to drive away that group of wild wolf, what a pity that whatever we prepare is insufficient, what should we do?"

Wang Chun's eyes became focused, "During the special times, we had made special arrangements to gather the young and strong in the city, and to distribute the food supplies uniformly. It doesn't matter if it is less, at this time, when people are trying to win over the hearts, His Highness should set up a banner of justice to protect the country, and recruit intelligent people to help. Perhaps something big could happen!"

The Prince Liang said gratefully, "My beloved one is truly the son of an loner. If one day he can settle down in the four seas, then this position will belong to me!"

"This subject is only a part of my duty, but I am afraid that my knowledge is shallow and I will not be able to help you out!"

"My beloved is too humble!"

At this time, a blue carriage was slowly approaching the city from outside of Liang Prefecture City. On the carriage, mother He was holding a milk baby for less than a month with a smile on her face as she muttered to herself, "Young master must have suffered a lot. I didn't see you making any noise along the way. What a carefree child.

A peasant woman beside her said nervously, "That … "Mother …"

Mother He rolled her eyes and said impatiently, "Speak, what's the matter now?"

"I've been out for a few days. I still have a baby at home, can you let me go home?" The peasant woman asked carefully.

Mother He shouted, "Stop!"

"Phew …!"

The carriage came to a halt!

Mother He took a silver ingot and gave it to the peasant woman, "Take care of your own mouth, don't talk nonsense!"

"Sigh!" I understand! I don't know anything. When I woke up from my sleep, I found myself lying by the roadside. The child is long gone, hehe … "

"At least you're sensible!"

Mother He waited for the peasant woman to get off the carriage and instructed the coachman to enter the city. He got off the carriage at the entrance of a large mansion and pinched himself hard, and walked towards the entrance with teary eyes, crying as he walked, "Aiya! My poor Auntie Xue! You left behind the Young Master and just like that! … "

Seeing that she was crying so bitterly, the manager immediately went up to her and asked, "He Ma, what happened to you?"

Seeing that the people at the door had gathered around, He Ma said loudly, "Auntie Xue's life is tough, you suffered a fright and were born prematurely in Qingyang City, the child was born, but you yourself didn't manage to keep your life. If you were still alive, you would have enjoyed life a lot, what a pity!"

The people on the door were all sighing. The chief steward gently lifted up the swaddling clothes, revealing a white and tender fat child. Where did this child come from? It was clearly a baby that was stronger than a full-term child!

"What a fat kid, it's rare to see a dead person, master will definitely like it!" The manager praised with a smile.

He Ma laughed and said, "That's right, I have never seen such a carefree child. He doesn't cry but he is hungry. "How clever!"
