Chapter 247 The two countries go to war
Hearing this, the queen mother nodded, and then continued: "Actually, the emperor has discussed this matter with Ai's family before, but Ai's family still wants to ask Concubine Xi to talk to the emperor."
"Go talk to the emperor? Empress dowager, what do you mean?"
"As you think, the war will make the people displaced, and how dangerous it will be to go to the battlefield, presumably Concubine Xi should know, so..."
"What does the empress dowager mean to want her concubines to persuade the emperor to give up the war with the Great Wu Kingdom?"
"Yes."
The queen mother nodded, and then said: "Aijia feels that your words should be able to persuade the emperor to stabilize the relationship between the two countries through peaceful means. Only in this way will the people live a peaceful life."
After listening to the Queen Mother's words, Shangguan Xiaoxiao couldn't help falling into silence.
She didn't think there was anything wrong with the Queen Mother's suggestion. After all, the war would indeed make people's lives in trouble.
Moreover, if there is a truce, it will undoubtedly be a great news for the people.
"Concubine Xi?"
Seeing Shangguan Xiaoxiao fell into contemplation, the queen mother stretched out her hand and shook it in front of her.
Hearing the Queen Mother's question, Shangguan smiled and came back to his senses, with a shallow smile on his face, "If you return to the Queen Mother, the concubine has no opinion and will try her best to convince the emperor."
"Okay, since you said so, then the Aijia will hand over this important task to you."
"Yes, Queen Mother."
"However, Concubine Xi, don't forget, the leader of this war is the Great Wu Kingdom, Aijia is afraid that the emperor will do crazy things when he is angry, you have to remind him a lot, don't be stupid !"
The queen mother warned very seriously.
"Yes, the concubine will follow the Queen Mother's teaching."
The two talked for a while.
The queen mother was a little tired, so she waved her hand and signaled Shangguan to retreat with a smile.
"Okay, it's getting late, Ai's family should rest too, Concubine Xi, you should step down."
"Yes, the Empress Dowager."
Shangguan Xiaoxiao quickly stood up, then got up and left the Cining Palace.
The empress dowager kept looking at Shangguan Xiaoxiao's back, and gradually disappeared from sight.
Looking at the figure that was gradually receding, she murmured softly, "I hope Aijia's choice is correct!"
The next day.
The sun has just risen.
Shangguan Xiaoxiao hasn't fully woken up yet, and in a daze, he feels like there is another person beside him.
She slowly opened her eyes, and when she saw the person beside her clearly, she sat up from the bed in fright, staring at Feng Lingzun who was sitting on the edge of the bed with a wary face, and said, "Your Majesty, why are you here? here?"
"Concubine Ai, I just want to see you more, in case..."
Seeing Feng Lingzun's tender expression, Shangguan couldn't help but froze with a smile.
She knew what Feng Lingzun said in case!
No!
Can't let him do this!
Just as Shangguan Xiaoxiao was about to speak, Feng Lingzun suddenly stretched out a hand, grabbed Shangguan Xiaoxiao's slender and fair arm tightly, and pulled her into his arms.
"Ah~!"
The sudden action, Shangguan laughed and exclaimed.
She instinctively wanted to break free, but Feng Lingzun's strength was so great that she couldn't push him away at all.
In the end, Shangguan Xiaoxiao had to compromise.
"Your Majesty, you are hugging too tightly."
Shangguan smiled with a coquettish tone.
Hearing her words, a proud look flashed across Feng Lingzun's brows.
"Concubine Ai, don't you have anything to say to me?"
"what?"
"For example, why did you go to the Queen Mother's palace last night, and what did you and the Queen Mother chat about?"
Feng Lingzun's eyes were locked tightly on her body, waiting for her answer.
Hearing this, Shangguan smiled and frowned slightly, and couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, are you really going to fight the Great Wu Kingdom?"
"I don't want to, but Dawu Kingdom frequently invades the border. I just want to let them know the power of Donglin Kingdom, and I hope they will not continue to provoke."
"But."
Shangguan smiled with a hesitant look on his face, "My concubine thinks that the emperor should also understand that once the Donglin Kingdom and the Dawu Kingdom go to war, the people of the entire Donglin Kingdom will definitely be affected, and if they really fight with Dawu If the country fights, there will definitely be countless casualties."
"What does Concubine Ai want to say?"
"I hope that the emperor can seriously consider this matter."
"I have already thought about it, now that the Great Wu Kingdom is aggressive, it is constantly harassing the East Lin Kingdom, and making it difficult for the common people to live. If they continue to be mischievous, I am afraid that the people of the East Lin Kingdom will sooner or later be unable to bear it. At that time, I will not be able to control the situation. ."
After listening to Feng Lingzun's words, Shangguan Xiaoxiao was speechless.
Indeed, if this continues, the life of the common people will definitely be very difficult.
Shangguan's smiling brows couldn't help frowning tightly, then he looked at Feng Lingzun with an embarrassed expression, and said in a low voice, "However, my concubine heard that the army of the Great Wu Kingdom is very brave, if we fight them , will definitely suffer."
After listening to Shangguan Xiaoxiao's words, Feng Lingzun showed a faint smile on his face, and said, "Do you think I will let the army of the Great Wu Kingdom have a chance to approach the city wall of the East Lin Kingdom?"
"Then, what does the emperor mean?"
"I am going to lure the army of the Great Wu Kingdom to the sea."
"what!?"
Shangguan smiled with a look of astonishment on his face.
She had no idea that Feng Lingzun was going to lure the army of the Great Wu Kingdom to the sea.
But the fighters of the eastern country do not know how to fight at sea at all. In this case, their situation will also be very dangerous.
"What's wrong? Aifei?"
Seeing Shangguan smiling like he didn't believe him, Feng Lingzun sighed helplessly, "Could it be that Concubine Ai thinks that I'm just imagining things?"
Shangguan smiled and shook his head quickly.
Of course she knew that she couldn't speak her mind right now.
"I feel that this matter still needs to be discussed in the long run. Please think twice about the emperor, and don't make impulsive actions."
"I've already thought about it."
Hearing Feng Lingzun's words, Shangguan smiled and fell silent.
"Your Majesty, your concubine is just a concubine"
"Okay, Concubine Ai, don't think about it."
Before Shangguan smiled and finished speaking, Feng Lingzun interrupted her immediately, then stretched out his hand to caress her forehead, and said softly, "Concubine Ai, have a good rest, I will go first."
After saying this, Feng Lingzun turned around and walked outside.
Seeing this, Shangguan smiled and said quickly, "Wait!"
"Ok?"
"Your Majesty, my concubine has something I want to discuss with you."
"Oh? What's the matter?"
"That, the concubine hopes, you can bring the concubine to the battlefield together."
Hearing this, Feng Lingzun couldn't help being stunned.
"Concubine Ai, you are a woman, you know that I can't take you to the battlefield."
