Two months later, the good news spread, and the mighty general Huang Ling finally led the Lishan army to strait the city of Kemeng, and included all the barbarian lands into the Jingchao territory. He promoted the prestige of Jingchao and had returned triumphantly.

The emperor and the concubines accompanied the princess to come back from the summer palace, and asked someone to prepare the emperor to personally welcome the general, but there was something disturbing before.

I thought Concubine Hui was just cold, but she didn't expect that the disease would be delayed again and again. Dong Yuheng was told by the imperial physician that he was unable to make up for the truth.

When he went to see Concubine Hui again, she was so haggard that she was only skinny and boneless. Seeing that the former beauty became like this, Dong Yuheng felt a little uncomfortable and comforted her softly.

Dong Mingsheng, who had been serving in front of the medicine bed, is now very haggard. Listening to his father's words to comfort Huifei, he cried in a difficult manner. Chen Mei also came to ask for peace and serve every day, and saw this, and hurriedly stepped forward and whispered.

Dong Yuheng called him forward, and Dong Mingsheng knelt under his knees and still sobbed.

"If a man doesn't cry easily, your mother will get better in the next two days. What are you crying?" Although Dong Yuheng was humble, his words were not condemned. After that, he ordered his left and right to go forward and take the second prince down to rest.

Turning back, he saw Concubine Hui's tears slid across his ears, "Your Majesty, I know that this damage will not last long, but I am worried when I leave, but I am pitiful to the second prince... He has come to Fuxi Palace and has always served me very well, treating me as a biological mother. He wants to see his mother every day and abide by His Majesty's orders. I am pitiful to him at such a young age..." At this point, Concubine Hui choked up and couldn't speak.

"Hey, you can rest assured and take care of your illness. After you have a good time, you will have a good time to raise the second prince."

"Your Majesty," his skinny hand suddenly clasped the emperor tightly. Concubine Hui couldn't hide her excitement. She cried and said, "Your Majesty can still see me. I have no regrets. I just want you to leave. After you leave, your Majesty can still think about me occasionally, and I will..."

Dong Yuheng sighed and wiped the tears from her face with his index finger.

On the way back to the palace, Guan Youwei secretly glanced at Long Yan, thought for a while, and then said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Hui is afraid that it will be difficult to heal the golden body... Do you need a slave to prepare..." Afterwards, the funeral came.

The emperor pondered for a long time, shook his head and waved his hand.

Guan Youwei bowed to accept the order, and then said: "The disease, medicine and energy of Fuxi Palace are severe. The Second Prince's Highness has been alive for a long time. I am afraid that the yin energy will enter the body. The servant thought it would be better to let the Second Prince go to another palace and stay there for the time being?"

"What I'm saying is reasonable," the emperor nodded, "but I can't think of where the second prince will go for the moment."

"I think... Although Concubine Zhuang loves the Second Prince very much, there are two princes in the palace to take care of him. Concubine De still has seven princes in the palace. Concubine Guifei has just returned to the palace. Why not...why... ask the Empress to educate her for a while?"

A faint light flashed in the emperor's eyes, and he sighed for a long time, "Mingsheng has been well-behaved and sensible since childhood, but it is difficult for him to make several changes. Let him live in Qiankun Palace for the time being."

Chen Ning knew that Dong Yuheng was in a complicated mood these two days. Although he did not comfort him, he did not disturb him. He stayed quietly in Chunxi Palace. Even if the emperor lived alone in Qiankun Palace yesterday, she would not say anything.

At the same time, as the army's triumphant days approached, she became more anxious about the matter of Hua Poyue.

Hua Poyue did not return to Yizhou, but stayed in Changyang. She also accompanied her when she went to the palace. Although this was as she wished, it was Dong Yuheng's intention. She knew that he wanted to leave Dahua and wait for Huang Ling to come back to give him a marriage, but when he heard that he wanted to find a suitable woman from the royal family to be the wife of Huang Ling, she became even more uneasy. He actually wanted Dahua to be his concubine!

She protested to the emperor several times, but he was always vague. What was even more annoying was that the Dahua, the person involved, looked like she was desperate and left to fate, as if she was the wife and the concubine were all very good.

It was also her fault for underestimating the enemy. She thought that when Huang Ling came back and explained the truth to him, and then pleaded with Dong Yuheng for a while, the matter would be over. She wanted to use this to stimulate Hua Poyue's true heart, but she actually knocked down her teeth and swallowed her blood and didn't want to say anything more.

It's really intolerable.

The sunflower and moon were despaired by the imperial concubine Baorui's order to enter the palace to accompany him. When he arrived at Chunxi Palace, he found that there were some young women sitting in a noble family.

"Yue'er is here? Come on, come here soon." Chen Ning was wearing a bright red embroidered eight-piece wealthy and peaceful robe with golden phoenix and pearls on his head, looking noble and elegant, with a powerful spirit. Hua Poyue was also a little dazed, and Ning Ning seemed to have become beautiful again.

The noble girls sitting on both sides also looked at the stunning beauties with twists and turns in their eyes, with strange things hidden in their eyes.

When Hua Poyue stood beside Chen Ning, Chen Ning smiled and said, "Yue'er, have you never seen these people? I'll introduce them," she raised her hand, and moved her five fingers together to the girls under her seat. "This is Princess Le'an, Princess Leping, Princess Lehua, Princess Fu's Palace, Princess Qingyun, Princess Chang's Palace, and Princess Qing'an of Princess Palace, and Princess Jin's Palace, Princess Qingshou of Princess Palace."

The names of the people were all serious royal relatives. Princess Le'an is the daughter of Prince Jing Xing, Princess Leping is the daughter of Prince Jing Xing, Prince Jing Xing's fifth legitimate daughter, Prince Lehua is the fourth daughter of Prince Wu Shufu, Prince Qingyun is the eldest daughter of Prince Jing, Prince Jing, Prince Jin, Prince Qingshou is the fourth daughter of Prince Jing.

When Hua Poyue met, she felt a little clear about her heart. She was afraid that these were the candidates for the wife that Chen Ning mentioned to her that the Tian family planned to be selected for General Huang.

She guessed correctly that these were the candidates Chen Ning tried every means to draw from Dong Yuheng.

The girls sat down again, Chen Ning asked Hua Poyue to sit beside her, and did not ask anyone to call her to do anything. He only talked nonsense from all over the world. Everyone could not touch the meaning of this favorite concubine, so they had to talk carefully.

As she spoke, Chen Ning talked about the army's coming back in triumph. She talked about the scene of fighting with General Huang in Yunzhou in a very excited manner. "General Huang is really extraordinary, his martial arts are superb, and his strength is extremely powerful. With one hand, he split the man in half."

"Ah!" The daughters in the deep boudoir all gasped.

A little cold sweat emerged from Hua Poyue's forehead. What is this sister... doing?

"That's not all. Later, I saw General Huang use his hands to pull people..." Chen Ning made a tearing move with both hands.

This time, it actually scared Princess Lehua to tears. The other girls were also disgraced, but Princess Le'an did not show fear. Instead, she said: "The battlefield is ruthless, either you die or I die. The general does not have such courage to brave the enemy, how can he gallop on the battlefield?"

When Chen Ning heard this, he looked at her without a trace. She saw that her appearance was not as outstanding as other noble girls, but she had a unique calm temperament.

"Princess Leping is right. The general is born in poverty, and he can only make his mark after life and death."

"Yes." The noble girl agreed, but this time it was Princess Le'an and Princess Qingyun who did not nod. Chen Ning looked at Qingyun again and saw that although she looked scared, she seemed to have disagreement in her eyes with her lips.

"I heard that the general returned victoriously. The Tian family not only wanted to personally welcome him, but also wanted to choose a noble wife for him." Chen Ning glanced at everyone, "I don't know which family's lucky daughter could marry a hero like General Huang."

Hearing this, the princess and county lords looked at each other, and two and three nervously snuggled their handkerchiefs.

"But I don't know whether it's good or bad. General Huang has been stationed in the border for many years, and his wife may also live with him in that barbaric land."

Hua Poyue was really speechless. Is she threatening them?

"The Imperial Concubine," said the Lord of County Qingyun, "Do you know who the Emperor intends?"

Chen Ning smiled, "How dare I guess the holy will?"

All noble girls have different thoughts.

When everyone left, Hua Poyue looked at Chen Ning, but saw Chen Ning looking at her with a squinted eyes.

"What are you doing?" She felt a little uncomfortable when she saw it.

"...There is one here that will be your mistress. What do you think?" Chen Ning took a sip of tea and said.

Hua Poyue's heart thorned, lowered her eyes to block the faint light, and said softly: "Very, very good."

"Oh? I see that these noble ladies in the royal family seem to have some tempers. You Miss Hua also have some tempers. Don't disturb Brother Huang's family by then."

Hua Poyue turned her head, "Don't worry, the concubine will follow the three obediences and four virtues, serve her husband, and respect her mistress."

"Dahua," Chen Ning was helpless when she saw that she was not good at eating soft and hard, "It's not that there's no hope, are you just giving up on yourself!"

Hua Poyue doesn't speak.

"...How good are you and Han Zhen? The man is not married and the woman is not married. Both of them have each other in their hearts. Do you know that I envy you very much?" Chen Ning sighed meaningfully.

Hua Poyue trembled all over, but she still pursed her lips and said nothing for a long time.

Seeing her like this, Chen Ning was a little annoyed. She said harshly, "You are just half-hearted, marry General Huang, I still think you can't be wholehearted about General Huang!" She thought that she must force her to show her sincerity today, otherwise Dong Yuheng would have to say that she would meddling in other people's business and ignore it.

Hua Poyue opened her mouth, and a trace of struggle finally appeared on her face.

"I said that if I could help, I would definitely help you, but what should I do if I do this yourself? Don't you really dislike Han Zhen's background and want to marry a first-rate general and be a concubine to be a concubine. In the end, I still scold me for taking rats in my heart!"

"If I had such a heart, I wouldn't die a bad death!" Hua Poyue's face turned red and said loudly.

The palace was quiet for a long time, and Hua Poyue lowered her head and spoke again, "Han Zhen... Forgot me."

"What did you say?"

"...Two days ago, I went home from the palace and met Han Zhen walking on the streets of Changyang. Yun'er went to call him. He clearly saw me under the curtain, but he rejected Yun'er with a cold look on his face, saying that he was not acquainted with him and was not etiquette."

"What?" Chen Ning was surprised, "Did he do it on purpose?" This is not like Han Zhen's temperament.

Hua Poyue shook her head, "No, he remembers Yun'er, but he just said he didn't know me." If he was lying, would there be a lie in this world that is worse than this?

"you mean……"

"I don't know if he intentionally or unintentionally, he... has really forgotten me now." Hua Poyue lowered her long eyelashes and her lips trembled slightly.

"How is that possible? No one can forget it just by saying that she can forget it!" She thought she was pulling the radish! She just didn't want to remember who pulled out whom.

"It's true. Yun'er didn't believe it, so she asked him a lot. He looked impatient and left without saying a word." A woman wearing a curtain fence was also following him...

"Absurd..." What happened? Han Zhen actually forgot about Hua Poyue?!

"It's great," Hua Poyue stepped forward and held her hand tightly, with excitement hidden in her eyes. "It's really good. Although I said it's not sad to be a lie, I can hold on. I will not forget the way I looked when I first met him, I will not forget the way he was angry and frustrated by me, I will not forget the way he gave me a hairpin with a red face, I will not forget the way he was painful and relieved when he met again... These are enough. If I can live with these memories, he can also find a woman with a innocent family to walk upright in the world. Don't worry, General Huang accepted me in order to repay his father's kindness. He is a great man and a great hero. I will serve him well and not make him embarrassed."

The tight force declared the master's determination. Chen Ning looked at Hua Poyue who had to hold back her tears and sighed.
