Chapter 766 The White Moonlight of the Heroine of Revenge 4

Xie Zhizhi's words were tantamount to directly saying that Zheng Yao was petty and unwilling to give Luo Fuying good things.

Even though Zheng Yao was well-mannered, she couldn't help but look displeased.

"My mother got some precious jewels and gave them to me a few days ago. I will have someone send them to Concubine Luo later. I will consider it as a gift to you on behalf of my cousin." Xie Zhizhi looked at Luo Fuying and said.

With such a superior attitude, Luo Fuying seemed to see the shadow of the eldest princess.

As expected of mother and daughter, they look exactly the same in terms of being annoying.

"No thanks, Princess. I really like the jade bead the Crown Princess gave me." Luo Fuying declined. "My adoptive father once went to the Western Regions for business and brought back a jade bead for me. Unfortunately, his family was murdered, and the jade bead is nowhere to be found."

"I didn't expect that this jade bead of mine would remind Concubine Luo of her past sorrows. It's my fault." Zheng Yao glanced at Xie Zhizhi and said with a smile, "In the future, if you have any unhappiness in this Eastern Palace, come and tell me."

Luo Fuying did not feel any resentment towards Xie Zhizhi because of her divisive words. Zheng Yao could see that she was a person with her own ideas.

"A few days ago, the Crown Prince rewarded me with many tributes from the Western Regions. You can take them back with you later to ease my longing for him."

Luo Fuying stood up and thanked him.

Looking at the "harmonious and beautiful" appearance of the two of them, Xie Zhizhi almost bit her teeth. Unexpectedly, a combination of circumstances made the two of them closer.

But Xie Zhizhi quickly adjusted her thoughts. There is no peaceful coexistence between wives and concubines in the world. She doesn't believe that Zheng Yao and Luo Fuying can always be so "harmonious and beautiful".

As long as the two of them start a quarrel, she can reap the benefits.

However, Xie Zhizhi had no idea that the struggles she imagined were only theoretical.

As the daughter of the eldest princess, she always gets what she wants. Before she even uses those tricks that she thinks are clever, what she wants is already delivered to her.

Mu Qianxiao was the first person she failed to get, and the methods she thought she had used were simply not enough to support her in achieving her wish.

Luo Fuying lived in the Eastern Palace like this, maintaining a close but not distant relationship with the Crown Princess. He ignored Xie Zhizhi, and as for Mu Qianxiao, he focused on winning her heart.

She pretended to be deeply in love with him, and during the autumn hunt, she rescued Mu Qianxiao from the bear's paw, and then used a self-torture trick to make him believe it.

All the women in the Eastern Palace said that they admired him deeply, but was it his identity as the Crown Prince of Hui Kingdom, or him as a person that they admired?

Only Luo Fuying really came to save him regardless of danger.

After this incident, Mu Qianxiao became even more fond of Luo Fuying, and it could be said that his favor continued unabated.

But Mu Qianxiao is the crown prince after all, and cannot be overly indulged in love affairs. There are many brothers in the court who covet his position as crown prince. The emperor has been increasingly finding fault with him in the past two years, fearing that the ministers only know the crown prince and not the emperor.

Internal troubles continued, and at this time external threats began to occur frequently.

The latest news from the border is that Loulan has successively annexed three or four small countries around it, and is on the verge of unifying the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions.

If this continues, it is likely to become a major hidden danger for Hui State.

After hearing the news, the emperor sent Mu Qianxiao on a secret tour, disguised as a merchant, to the Western Regions to find out what was going on.

As soon as Mu Qianxiao left Beijing, the news reached Luoxia Mountain.

The saint looked at the message and asked someone to call Yun Yi over.

"The Crown Prince of Hui State wants to go deep into the tiger's den. Do you think we should capture him? Or kill the Crown Prince of Hui State directly?"

Ever since seeing Yun Yi's annotations in the book, the Saintess and Yun Yi discussed the past and the present, which was considered as recognition of his talent.

Yun Yi personally led the troops to annex the small countries around Loulan, and his status immediately rose to become the military advisor of Loulan.

"It would be easy for the Saint to kill him, but the Emperor of Hui has many sons. He could easily appoint another heir. This move would likely anger Hui. If they were to use this as an excuse to send troops, how confident are you of victory?"

The saint listened to Yun Yi's analysis, thought about it carefully, and felt that this move was indeed not worth the cost.

If it were in the past, they would have just killed them and then they could have all hidden in the mountains.

Luoxia Mountain is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and there are poisonous creatures everywhere. Even if Hui Country sends tens of thousands of troops, it will be of no avail.

But now Loulan has annexed the surrounding small countries. Since it has obtained it, there is no reason to give it up again.

"But now that he's here, it would be a shame not to do something."

The Saint sighed deeply. "I know you have a saying in the Central Plains: 'Hold the Emperor hostage to control the other princes.' Even if I don't kill the Crown Prince, I can still force him to do something."

"Of course, the Saint can make a deal with him." Yun Yi said with a smile: "Aren't they going to pretend to be merchants coming to buy horses? It just so happens that we have nowhere to store the horses we seized not long ago, so we can sell them to them."

Those horses?

The saint blinked and suddenly smiled.

"The reputation of a profiteer is indeed well-deserved."

Those horses may look good on the outside, but they are actually just carriers of toxins.

If you buy those horses and keep them together with good horses, the good horses will also be infected and die within a few days.

The Prince of Hui State would definitely not bring those horses back to the capital city after buying them. If they were left in the border military camp, it would be a great help to them.

Even if they were not placed in the frontier military camp, they could still make a fortune by selling horses.

No matter how you look at it, it’s not a loss.

"Saint, this is the feng shui map I drew these days, as well as the garrison situation at each outpost."

Yun Yi presented the feng shui map and the garrison map to the saint and introduced them to her one by one.

Just as the saint said, there is no reason to hand over the territory that has been conquered to others. In this case, the garrison must be arranged.

Yun Yi's words were clear and easy to understand, and the Saint Girl understood them easily. She knew that his current deployment was very solid, and there would be no problem as long as tens of thousands of troops did not arrive at the city in an instant.

But she didn't understand why Yun Yi was helping her do this.

What exactly is he planning?

From the time he woke up until now, he has been helping her. Everything he did was for Loulan's consideration, and he never raised his own requests.

Money? Beauty? Power?

During this period, in addition to annexing the surrounding small countries, Yun Yi also helped her formulate many regulations and policies. The people benefited and accepted him.

If Yun Yi wanted to replace her now, that would be completely fine, but he hasn't shown any intention in this regard yet.

At least, the saint didn't see it.
