Zhu Wanxiang was the first person who really cared about Xiang Xue after she arrived in Dongling; and Ye Jin had a vague debt to Xiang Xue. So after she couldn't even protect herself, she didn't want to harm them.

The study room of the Qi Mansion was in a mess. Xiang Lian, the Qi family, was at a loss to deal with the father and son who looked like two bullfights. She didn't know how to persuade them at all.

"Madam, please go out first."

"Mom, you go out first."

They spoke at the same time again, and Qi had no choice but to leave simply, out of sight.[

"Dad, why did you let that rumor spread?" Qi Xunzhi growled in pain: "You know this, from now on Xiang Xue..."

"Shut up!" Qi Zhongmin slapped the table hard, and a few pieces of rice paper bounced up and down: "Look what you look like now! Aren't you just a girl's movie, so that you can't even distinguish the important from the important? The most important thing now is to make the prince succeed.

Ascending the throne, the rest will be discussed later!"

Qi Xunzhi clenched his fists tightly, feeling pain, helplessness and resentment mixed in his heart: "Dad, why do you have so many excuses so early? What did Xiang Xue do wrong? Because of her origin? She is also the daughter of the royal family, why do you target her everywhere...

…”

"Snapped!"

A clear red mark gradually became prominent on the fair cheek, and both of them were stunned at the same time. Qi Zhongmin looked away, panting slightly: "Xunzhi, you have to remember that dad will not harm you, and treat Lei'er well. As for that girl, you

Just don’t think about it!”

"father!"

"Bang!" The door was suddenly pushed open in a panic. Qi Zhongmin looked angrily and found out that it was a confidant who had been installed in the palace. He couldn't help but raise his thick eyebrows: "What's the matter?"

The confidant took two steps forward and reported in a low voice: "Sir, the Imperial Master has appeared!"

========

After all, the prince did not have time to come back. In other words, if Ling Ziyuan had not escaped from Jingxi Palace, the prince would not even know what happened in the capital.

Because all the people sent by the Queen to deliver the message had disappeared on that long and cold post road.

In October, the north is always home to wind and snow. In the severe cold, the cowardly and gentle prince could only use dry tears to mourn for his father and his own hopeless future.

Since a long time ago, the Ministry of War in Dongling has been an extremely special existence. Except for the founding emperor, the extremely powerful Ximen Weide, there is no other emperor who can firmly hold the military power in his hands. There are many ministers in the Ministry of War.

At that time, they only had superficial names. The three mysterious giants in the society were the final decision-makers in mobilizing troops and generals.

To be more precise, the Ministry of War submits to the entire Dongling, not just the ruler of Dongling. Therefore, in the frequent battles to seize power, the Ministry of War will be one of the few completely neutral persons. They will not favor any party.

, whoever has the ability to climb to the throne in the end will be their new allegiance.

The total strength of 2.4 million troops is too terrifying. No one will be stupid enough to provoke easily, not even the emperor. Moreover, as long as the two sides truly do not help each other, it does not make much difference. At the same time, it also ensures that in the event of civil strife,

Dongling will not be taken advantage of by the other three countries that are eyeing it.

The 200,000 Northern Defense Forces in the hands of the Crown Prince are the biggest bargaining chip of the Queen's faction. They are the largest force that can be mobilized except for the 100,000 Beijing Imperial Guards under the control of Xi Weiwei.
