"Li Hongji is dead!" Zhou Xian's tone could not hide his surprise, "The news sent by Zhou Duan from Xuzhou."

Li Yu put down the book in his hand, stood up immediately, glanced at the letter in Zhou Xian's hand, walked over and ignored the etiquette and snatched it straight away. A sick red appeared on Li Yu's face. He seemed very happy, but the person who died was his biological brother, so he didn't laugh, but instead looked serious and had a face on his face.

He browsed quickly and looked up and said, "The violent illness has passed away? I remember that Li Hongji is in very good health. He was able to ride a horse and lead troops three months ago. He is not like a sick person... The news about Zhou Duan is reliable?"

"He is a member of the clan and has a long history with my family. However, he used to come to my house to borrow books. He was a very diligent and studious literati." Zhou Xian pondered, "Others' evaluation of him is also good at character. Now he has become an official in the Zhou Dynasty, not like a person who speaks nonsense."

Li Yu pondered: "But he did die a little strange."

Zhou Xian's cheeks suddenly turned slightly red, and he said softly: "Since Li Hongji has passed away, Aweng (Li Jing) should be restored, and we can return to the Southern Tang Kingdom."

Li Jing was pretty good to Zhou Xian. Zhou Xian was first attracted to Li Jing. Then Li Jing admired her very much and married her to her favorite son Li Yu. As long as Li Jing was in power, Zhou Xian and her husband lived a good life in the Southern Tang Congress.

But the cause of Li Hongji's death forced Zhou Xian to guess: it might have been removed. Even if he had become the king of the country, if all the people in the court abandoned him, it would not be a very difficult thing to let him die of a sudden illness, and no one would be willing to strictly investigate the responsibility.

Sure enough, Li Yu also said: "I didn't get sick long ago. I was threatened by the Zhou Dynasty and died suddenly. He was stubborn and was not tolerated by the inside and outside, so he actually caused his own destruction!"

Zhou Xian was a little distracted. Guo Shao's words in the hall were like ears: The ministers of the Southern Tang Kingdom were mainly rebellious, as if they were plotting against each other! If you are no longer in the position of Li Jing, I will ask for an order to lead a large army to the forefront in the future, so that you will regret it!

When Zhou Xian thought of this, he was afraid that Li Yu would find himself distracted, so he said quietly: "The Zhou Dynasty is stable for the time being. They need to go to war to establish prestige and authority. Many ministers from the Southern Tang Dynasty have far-reaching knowledge, so it is impossible for them to think of such things. They are afraid that the Zhou Dynasty will use this excuse to be famous and take the lead in attacking the Southern Tang Dynasty."

"Ehuang's words are reasonable." Li Yu said, "but I don't know who took the lead in doing things, and I'm very brave."

Zhou Xian suddenly felt a little suffocating, as if some huge mysterious power was covering the surroundings. It was not the power of holding a bow and lifting a tripod, but an invisible and intangible... will! His will can influence a country, and every word and action of his will is full of great power.

...

A few days later, the envoy of the Southern Tang Dynasty arrived in Tokyo and went to the ceremony hall to deliver Li Jing's private letter. Zhou Xian and his wife completely confirmed the major events that happened in Jinling, and Li Hongji had really died suddenly.

The king of the country Li Jing wrote a letter in person, saying that the special envoys were sent to welcome Li Yu and others back to the country, and asked them to make some preparations.

Li Yu's attention was changed, and he was immersed in the joy of returning to China. He hadn't been too focused on Zhou Xian in recent days. Zhou Xian could fully understand his excitement: Li Jing had seven sons in total, and the second son had been dead for several years. Now Li Hongji is also dead. Among the remaining five sons, Li Jing's favorite is the sixth son Li Yu. In addition, after Li Hongji's mutiny, Li Yu would rather escape than be the king of Li Hongji, and expressed his support for his father with his actions. As long as the husband returns to China, he is extremely likely to be made the crown prince.

Power, what Li Yu said he wanted. Being the lord of Southern Tang was the greatest power he could get.

The lord of a country was highly respected at least in the Southern Tang Dynasty. But Zhou Xian couldn't tell why, and always felt that the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty did not have the momentum of awe, because someone was riding on his head and bullying and intimidating; looking at it from a big perspective, he was simply unhappy.

Zhou Xian didn't have much respect, but he thought: at least his husband had the most power in the Southern Tang Kingdom, which was enough to shock local tyrants and protect the safety of the Zhou family.

In the afternoon of the same day, someone came to the ceremony hall to deliver a letter, claiming that it was someone sent by Zhou Duan, and only handed it over to Zhou Xian. Zhou Xian came out to get the letter, and went into the house and pulled the envelope open to see what news about Zhou Duan was there.

Li Yu hasn't asked her much about it recently, which made Zhou Xian feel a little relaxed and didn't have to pay attention to his words and deeds at all times.

As soon as she unfolded the envelope, she frowned slightly because the handwriting was not very good. Looking at the content, the neat little calligraphy... Zhou Xian immediately got up and gently covered the door and walked into the warm room. Guo Shao's letter!

In the letter, she asked her if she would like to stay in Tokyo. If she was willing, she would send someone to contact him today, and if she didn't want to, she would ignore it.

Zhou Xian's chest suddenly fluctuated and read it again. He thought that it might be that Guo Shao wrote the words with his left hand in order to prevent his handwriting from falling into someone else's hands, so he was a little unfamiliar with every stroke of the stroke.

After staying in Tokyo, Zhou Xian was indeed a little impulsive for a while...

Guo Shao's tone in the letter is still: Madam, please look forward to the long-term. Unification of the world is the general trend, and the Southern Tang Dynasty will eventually cease to exist. Why not stay in Tokyo now if you are captured in the future? If you stay now, your status will be very different.

Although he wrote this, he finally asked her if she was willing or not, and gave her enough respect.

Zhou Xian really thinks that Guo Shao is very special. If someone else likes her and has a chance, would she care about her willingness? Even if it is Li Yu, he never asked her if she is willing or not... Of course, Zhou Xian doesn't think his husband should ask, but Guo Shao reminded her of her "will".

She walked quietly back and forth in the bedroom for a long time, and was indeed a little confused. But the answer was already there: if she could choose, of course she would not stay in Tokyo.

Because some of the considerations are very obvious: if she stays in Tokyo, she will be criticized, and the Zhou family members in the Southern Tang Kingdom will also be affected. Not only will their conscience be condemned, but Li Yu and the monarchs and ministers of the Southern Tang Kingdom will directly accuse her of the public... It is a bit too much to take the initiative to abandon her husband and vote for others.

Moreover, the Southern Tang Kingdom may not necessarily perish immediately. If it were so easy, the Southern Tang Kingdom would not exist in this war-torn world for decades. Zhou Xian admitted that he was still unable to avoid the common people and cared about his face and status. As long as Li Yu became the king of the country, she would be the queen; what's wrong with being an open and honest identity?

But Guo Shao is really willing to let him go? Zhou Xian was also a little worried about this. If he really wanted to force him... she suddenly felt a little unwilling to show her ambitions by death. If she had probably died two months ago, she would rather die than serve the people she hated.

If he was forced to stay, he once cursed and vowed to show his ambitions by his husband to die. Zhou Xian felt very ashamed. Why are those never-separated vows so fragile... If his husband betrayed her, he could still complain a few sadly. Now, he always feels that he will betray her.
