If I were born again, I would marry a strong but short-lived husband.

Chapter 561 Uncle Xiao

Feng Yuanjia followed Shen Sui'an to pay a visit to the Empress Dowager.

After dining at the Empress Dowager's, the two sisters gathered together to talk again.

"You are a mother now." Feng Yuanjia carefully placed his hand on Shen Sui'an's lower abdomen.

"In a few years, when you get married, you will soon be a mother." Shen Sui'an said with a smile.

Feng Yuanjia shook his head, "I have never thought about getting married."

"But I like children. How about you give birth to a daughter for me?" Feng Yuanjia looked at Shen Suian eagerly.

Shen Suian just laughed. If Fu Jinyuan heard this, he would probably have a fight with Feng Yuanjia.

"If you want a daughter, just give birth to one and she will be my daughter-in-law in the future." Shen Sui'an poked her forehead.

Feng Yuanjia sighed, "Sui Sui, will I become a princess of a fallen country in the future?"

"In the stories, all the princesses who lost their country had to jump off the city wall. I don't want to jump."

"I'm not afraid of death, I'm afraid of being embarrassed."

Shen Sui'an couldn't bear it any longer and stuffed the cake into her mouth.

"Eating can't shut your mouth."

Feng Yuanjia swallowed the osmanthus cake and then started to laugh.

"It's all because of that idiot Feng Chuankai! If he couldn't tolerate the Prince of Zhenbei and our Prince of Zhennan Palace, how could there be so many problems?"

"Oh, let me tell you something interesting. Queen Mother Yao tried every means to make her niece the queen, but now she wants to select a concubine for Feng Chuankai. It seems that she is alienated from her niece."

"When Yao Xinling gives birth to the child, Queen Mother Yao might even take the child away to raise."

"Don't mention it. Queen Mother Yao is definitely capable of doing such a thing."

Shen Sui'an didn't know that the relationship between Empress Dowager Yao and Yao Xinling was so strained now.

"Where did you hear that?" Shen Sui was overjoyed.

"After all, I have lived in the palace for two years, so of course I have my own spies." Feng Yuanjia was very proud.

"There's another strange thing." Her eyes flashed with a cunning light, "Feng Chuankai is full of concubines in the harem, but only the queen is pregnant. Don't you think it's strange?"

"..." Shen Sui'an raised his eyebrows, "Interesting."

Feng Yuanjia chuckled, "That's really interesting."

When Fu Jinyuan came back, it was already evening. Feng Yuanjia and Shen Sui'an had already told him all the information, big and small.

The two of them let out bursts of clear and pleasant laughter in the house.

"..."

Didn’t Feng Yuanjia travel day and night through wind and rain to seek help?

Looks pretty leisurely.

"Commander Lu!" Feng Yuanjia's eyes lit up when he saw him, but he quickly changed his words, "Your Majesty!"

After a few pleasantries, Feng Yuanjia told Fu Jinyuan again why he came to ask for help.

“Your Highness, if we go to find the King of Zhenbei ourselves, he may not believe it and may even think it’s a trap.” Feng Yuanjia smiled bitterly helplessly.

Who would believe that her mother would join forces with outsiders to deal with her husband, but it was clearly the Prince of Zhennan who wanted to sacrifice them first.

King Zhenbei doesn't trust her, but if Fu Jinyuan acts as a middleman, it will be different.

"You want to join hands with the King of Zhenbei to make the King of Zhennan think that victory is certain, and then besiege the King of Zhennan together with the King of Zhenbei?" After listening to this, Fu Jinyuan guessed what Princess Ye was planning to do.

Feng Yuanjia's eyes were firm, "We are willing to support the King of Zhenbei as the emperor."

"We don't have such big ambitions. We just want to stay in a corner."

"If Feng Chuankai was a wise ruler, we would be loyal to him, but he is incompetent and has no decision-making ability. He excludes loyal officials in the court and promotes treacherous and vicious people like He Hongkui. He also abuses the people's power and lives extravagantly."

"If this continues, the Yong Dynasty will no longer be a country."

"Even though the merchant ship was disintegrating, he hesitated to send troops to rescue people. In his eyes, hundreds of lives are not as important as his tens of thousands of taels of silver."

"Empress Dowager Yao didn't even save anyone?" Shen Sui'an couldn't help but ask.

She thought Queen Mother Yao was a wise person.

Feng Yuanjia sneered at himself, "They are now busy fighting each other, and the country is just a chessboard for their fight."

Who cares about the life and death of the people?

Shen Sui'an was startled and turned to look at Fu Jinyuan.

Fu Jinyuan said in a deep voice, "I can write to the King of Zhenbei, but I can't guarantee that he will agree to the princess' request. Everything still needs to be considered by the King of Zhenbei himself."

"Of course. We are very grateful that Your Highness is willing to connect us with the King of Zhenbei." Feng Yuanjia immediately stood up and saluted.

Fu Jinyuan dodged and said, "The Ye family army has guarded the border of Yunzhou for many years. They shouldn't have sacrificed in vain."

Whether it is the Ye Family Army or the Zhenbei Army, they are all soldiers defending their country and should not be used by the ambitions of certain people.

Fu Jinyuan asked his confidant to deliver the letter to Feng Chuanjin overnight.

Within a few days, Feng Chuanjin sent an unexpected person to meet Fu Jinyuan.

The person who came was Xiao Du.

He is Shen Sui'an's uncle.

In terms of time, Shen Sui'an hasn't seen his uncle for decades.

She had trouble controlling her emotions and tears kept falling.

In her previous life, when she was suffering in the Lu family's backyard, she completely lost contact with her uncle. Song Xiuzhi proudly said that her uncle had colluded with the enemy and committed treason, and could not save himself.

She didn't know how her uncle was doing until her death.

"Why are you crying? Are you unhappy to see your uncle?" Although Xiao Du was a military general, he was born gentle and handsome. Even though he was over forty, he still stood tall.

Shen Sui'an sobbed, "Happy."

Xiao Du raised his hand and patted Shen Sui'an on the forehead.

"If your mother is still in heaven, she will definitely be happy for you when she sees that you are now a mother too." Xiao Du said in a hoarse voice.

Shen Sui'an had no impression of her biological mother, but she knew in her heart that her mother must have loved her deeply.

Fu Jinyuan had been standing silently by the side, his eyes falling on Shen Sui'an from time to time.

"Are my aunt and cousins ​​all okay?" Shen Sui'an asked.

Xiao Du nodded, "Everything is fine, I miss you."

The tears that Shen Sui'an had managed to hold back were about to burst out again.

"I am now under the command of King Zhenbei, and this time I was ordered to come to Suzhou in secret." Xiao Du said.

"Then my uncle can stay in Suzhou for a few more days. My grandparents are also on the way, so maybe we can meet again." Shen Suian wiped the tears from his face.

Xiao Du chuckled, "After discussing things with the prince, I will rush back. When there is a chance in the future, your uncle will bring your aunt to visit you."

"You still need to rest for two days. Brother Chao hasn't met you yet." Shen Sui'an said.

"Okay." Xiao Du nodded.

Shen Sui'an glanced at Feng Yuanjia and said, "Business matters are more important, uncle, please discuss this."

She was still very happy to be able to see her uncle.

Fu Jinyuan took her hand, sat down, and handed her a cup of tea.

"The King of Zhenbei has no intention of going to war with Yunzhou. The princess's wish is also the prince's wish..." Xiao Du said in a deep voice.

Feng Yuanjia's face lit up with joy, "General Xiao, did the King of Zhenbei agree to our request?"

"How can Princess Yuanjia ensure that the Ye family army will not betray her?" Xiao Du asked back, looking at Feng Yuanjia sharply.
