Putting aside Xiao Shi's inner turmoil, the Emperor had finally decided to personally lead the troops into battle.
Since he was going to leave, he naturally had to arrange for some old officials to take care of the country. These old officials were all senior officials of three generations, and there were five of them in total. If there were any decisions to be made, these five people would pass them through and execute them separately. It was a bit like the modern administrative system with layers of authority.
Bai Xiangxiu felt that the ancient people's wisdom was not bad at all. Most importantly, her husband had already guessed who these five people were because she listened to his analysis.
Yes, when he had nothing to do, he liked to sit in the room and analyze the situation with her, even though she might not understand.
However, he liked to do this, as if she was the person he trusted the most. Other than her, he could not find anyone else to talk to.
Bai Xiangxiu liked this feeling very much. This was the feeling of an old married couple.
Long Heng's happiest thing now was to talk to Bai Xiangxiu about the stupid Emperor's expedition to Shu.
There were also those generals he thought were well-trained, but they were all experts who only knew how to flatter. Once they went out, they were almost useless.
They could be an armchair strategist, but at critical times, they were not as useful as Bai Xiangxiu.
"Am I that stupid?"
Bai Xiangxiu was very angry because Long Heng compared her to the Emperor. She almost hit him with the sole of her shoe.
However, she was a little worried, "I don't know how Xiao Lin and the Old Madame are doing in Shu. We originally wanted to go there, but unfortunately, the Emperor did not give us such a chance."
Long Heng said, "Don't worry, you just need to take care of yourself. I will go to Shu soon.
Moreover, A Quan and his wife will take care of them, so they should be fine. "
It was all thanks to her saving these two people. She did not expect that she would help them so much.
It seemed that kindness was not all wrong. Of course, it depended on the situation.
"That's right, did Miss Lin come out from inside?"
"She can't come out."
"Ah?"
Bai Xiangxiu was puzzled. Didn't he say that he made a deal with Minister Lin to get her out? In fact, at this time, Minister Lin could be considered a qualified father to do this.
But why didn't she come out? Could it be that Long Heng didn't keep his word?
Long Heng nodded her head. Recently, he was preparing to go to Sichuan, so he was packing his things.
In fact, these things should have been prepared by the servants, but he was now a dead man, so he had to maintain a low profile. Usually, he would not move around in the courtyard of the prince's mansion.
Very few people in the wang fu knew that he was still alive because not many people dared to enter wang fei's room.
"Miss Lin has fallen in love with a whoremaster and is waiting for him to come back and take her as a concubine. But after waiting for more than two months, I think she's going to be disappointed."
"So she's not leaving because of this?"
"Yes, no matter how hard I tried to persuade him, he wouldn't leave. In the end, Minister Lin had no choice but to leave."
"Ha, I really don't know how Miss Lin's brain was developed. Love … and an illusory love at that."
You can't live without love, but you have to know who you are. Isn't this torturing yourself?
Bai Xiangxiu only hesitated for a moment before she stopped thinking about her. It was not worth being distracted by her matters.
In the past, she didn't think that she was the female lead and needed to protect the relationship between the two of them. But you've already degraded yourself to this state, how can others persuade you?
If you want to commit suicide, do you need others to go with you?
"Let's not talk about her anymore. After I leave, you have to take good care of yourself. If you have nothing to do, don't go out."
"En, my belly is getting bigger and bigger. Why should I go out?"
"After he is born, it will be time for a change of dynasty."
"Yes, I hope everything goes well."
"It will. With you guys, I will be careful in everything I do. I will definitely not be as hot-blooded as before."
"You said it yourself. This time, when you go to Sichuan, you have to arrange a safe place for Xiao Lin and the others. Otherwise, what if they really attack?"
"They can't attack, they're just pretending. My people are not there for nothing.
I let them come just for this operation. Otherwise, they would have been destroyed long ago. "
"Good, good, good. You're amazing."
When a man started bragging, it was really impossible to stop him. Moreover, you couldn't attack him. The more you attacked him, the more excited he would be.
For example, right now, he had already pulled Bai Xiangxiu to sit on his lap and said, "You don't believe me, do you?"
"Yes, did I say that I don't believe you?"
"Then how about we make a bet?"
"Okay, what kind of bet?"
Did she dare to say no? If she didn't, who knew what this man would do?
"If I can pacify the entire imperial court within two months, how about you give me another son?"
"This one hasn't even been born yet, and you're already planning for the next one. No, do you think I'm a pig?"
Bai Xiangxiu pretended to be angry and pinched Long Heng, but she didn't use much strength.
Long Heng only smiled, then hugged her and said, "What your husband looks forward to the most right now is to take my sons and train them. Think about it. I'll raise them into very powerful men, and then lead a team of them. Who would be a match for us then?"
"Haha …"
Did you really want to lead soldiers to fight instead of showing off that you can give birth to a son?
"Haha, what? I'm leaving soon. Princess, are you going to let me tonight …"
"Let you what?"
Bai Xiangxiu asked even though she already knew the answer. A pair of bright eyes stared straight at Long Heng, causing the fire in his heart to rise.
"You … Are you deliberately torturing me?"
"No, don't tickle me. Haha, Long Heng, you're not serious."
"…"
They were already husband and wife, yet she still asked him to be serious. But the more she said this, the more he was not serious.
After two days, Long Heng finally left with his men.
Bai Xiangxiu held her waist and pounded the bed. She said to Bao Bao in her stomach, "Your father is really cold on the outside. He can do all kinds of wicked things.
Wuwuwu, my waist hurts … "
After Long Heng left, she lived as a 'young widow' in Li Of Gojoseon's residence. To be honest, these days were very free and unfettered. Because the outside world said that Long Heng died because of an assassination attempt by the enemy country, the treatment of Li Of Gojoseon's residence would not be lacking. The Emperor still had to act well on the surface.
Bai Xiangxiu's younger brother, Bai Xueru, came to see this poor sister. Thinking of the faces of his mother and second sister after Li Of Gojoseon's death, he almost laughed until his clothes were red.
If it wasn't for his father's suppression, he would have come here to laugh at her and swindle some money. According to them, a young widow had no one to rely on. This money would sooner or later belong to someone else. It was better to let her own family benefit.
He thought that his eldest sister had a hard life. Originally, he thought that after becoming Li Of Gojoseon's concubine, she would be rich for the rest of her life. He didn't expect that Li Of Gojoseon would pass away like this.
He left the two widows, one old and one young, in this courtyard. How would they live their lives?
Bai Xiangxiu had a good impression of this younger brother, so she let him in.
Bai Xueru thought that he would see a pale-faced, pitiful elder sister dressed in mourning.
However, when he came in, he was puzzled. At this time, his eldest sister was indeed dressed in mourning clothes. However, some people said that if one wanted to be dressed in mourning clothes.
