Chapter 129 The Prince sets off to the expedition
At the beginning of the 45th year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi, a powerful concubine was added to the Eighth Master's residence. This was someone who was decreed by Emperor Kangxi himself to take over the power of the current concubine. In a sense, she was not much worse than the Eighth Concubine.

What's more, her surname is Nalan, the Nalan of Nalan Mingzhu.

Because of Concubine Hui, the Nalan clan is a natural supporter of Prince Zhi.

This is the bond brought by blood relationship, which cannot be cut off or separated.

The Eighth Prince didn't know whether the Emperor did it on purpose or not. However, this candidate was quite clever, since he was a close relative, and he could also have the blood of the Nalan clan!
After suffering a series of setbacks recently, the Eighth Prince has become clear-headed. Although the departure of the Ninth and Tenth Princes has caused him great losses both emotionally and in terms of interests.

But now his main enemy is not the Fourth Prince's faction. After all, the Crown Prince is still in power, and the reputation of Prince Zhi Daqian is becoming more and more famous. Compared with them, the Fourth Beile is not good enough.

If you want to be the crown prince, you need to take it step by step. Acting impulsively will only make you more enemies.

Perhaps we should learn from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and concentrate on having children, which is a good choice.

Prince Cheng made it clear that he was concentrating on compiling the dictionary, and the power under his command was quickly divided between the Crown Prince and Prince Zhi.

Yinzhen did not take any action. He would rather not have someone who he had not spent time and effort to select. To sum it up in one word, it is better to have nothing than to have something of poor quality.

The wheel of history rolls forward, and although it may occasionally deviate from its track, it will ultimately move forward in its established direction.

In March of the same year, Dzungar invaded the Qing border again. As the war broke out suddenly, the borders were lost one after another and countless civilians died.

When the news reached the capital, Kangxi was furious.

This was the first war since the great victory over the Dzungar Khanate in the 29th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign. The new Khan was young and vigorous, and he had been conserving his energy. It was unknown how long he had secretly planned before launching this surprise attack.

In the court, all the ministers were silent.

"The Junggars are still determined to do evil and have revived. This time we must root out the roots and completely wipe out this mob!" Kangxi said in a deep voice.

After their superior expressed his opinion, all the officials knew what to do and began to criticize indignantly.

It was finally decided that Crown Prince Yinreng would go to war on behalf of the emperor, and Fei Yanggu would be in charge of military affairs and set out at an auspicious time to quell the rebellion.

Prince Zhi's Mansion

Prince Zhi smashed countless vases. His scimitar was placed on the table. No one dared to approach him for fear of being killed by the sword and suffering an unexpected disaster.

This was the scene Mingzhu saw when she arrived. The Prince of Zhi looked like a trapped beast getting angry.

"Please calm down, Prince. In my opinion, it is a good thing for the Crown Prince to leave the capital."

"What's so good about it? When evaluating Junggar's extraordinary achievements, the first thing the Emperor thought of was to praise his good prince. Then what have I done in all these years?"

Mingzhu was not angry. He spoke slowly and calmly, which made people feel comfortable. "I will analyze it for you, Prince. Please listen to it. First of all, the prince has been by your side since he was a child. Your Majesty has always felt that he is still the hungry baby who lost his mother and needs him wholeheartedly. Only when you are far enough away can your Majesty see him clearly."

"Secondly, the prince is indeed well-educated, but all he has learned is theoretical knowledge and he has no practical experience. Such a person is most unsuitable to be a head coach."

"The emperor may think that Fei Yanggu is the Fourth Prince's man, and the Fourth Prince has always supported the prince, so he will definitely give him a safety net. However, the brothers have long been at odds with each other because of Prince Honghui, and Fei Yanggu will definitely not have any selfish motives. But the prince thinks, will the prince believe it?"

"That's the third point. The two people in charge have conflicting ideas. Who should I listen to?"

"So, this expedition may not be a good thing for the prince. Let's wait and see."

Prince Zhi said nothing, his eyes seemed thoughtful, and he stopped smashing the cups.

In Yuqing Palace, Tong Guining was busy preparing things for the prince to go to war. She looked very happy with a comfortable smile on her face.

When the prince saw the smoke and the commotion in the East Palace, he didn't say anything.

He was finally able to leave the palace and live freely without the supervision of the emperor. This was what he had dreamed of for many years.

Suddenly it came true, and I still couldn't believe it. It would be better if the East Palace was more lively, which meant it was true.

Tong Guining saw the prince and slightly restrained her smile: "Your Highness, the journey has been tiring, and the battlefield is extremely dangerous. I am really worried about you."

As he spoke, tears fell from the corners of his eyes.

The prince wiped it with his hand, and then a thought came to his mind: "Then why don't you go with me?"

"What?" Tong Guining was stunned for a moment, tears stopping.

This is a war, not a tour of Jiangnan, so why bring her, the Crown Princess? !
"Of course we can't go openly. Why don't you disguise yourself as a eunuch and go with me?" The more Crown Prince Yinreng thought about it, the better the idea became. "We don't know how long it will take this time, and our son hasn't come yet. Fighting the war is important, and having a legitimate son is equally important. Anyway, it won't delay us, but it will be unfair to the Crown Princess. What do you think?"

How? Tong Guining wanted to beat up the prince in front of her, but she didn't dare.

"Your Highness, I'm scared if the Emperor gets to know about this." Tong Guining said weakly.

"Don't be afraid, as long as the legitimate son is here, the emperor won't care." The prince laughed, touched the crown princess's belly, and completely finalized the matter.

Tong Guining's nails were almost broken by the wide sleeves, but she didn't even feel it.

No, she had to find a way to get out of this predicament, otherwise, her reputation as the Crown Princess would be completely lost. She disappeared without a sound, just like the previous Crown Princess.

Four Beile Mansions,

When Yihuan received the news that her father was going to the battlefield, she was a little panicked for a moment.

Although she was not the real daughter of the Ulanala family, although she had only seen Fei Yanggu a few times in the more than ten years since she traveled through time, he was a kind old man who gave her all his fatherly love.

Putting herself in Fei Yanggu's shoes, she hopes that he can spend his later years in peace.

Especially since he had to go to the war with the prince. If anything happened to the prince, his father would not be able to survive.

Thinking of this, Yihuan fell into extreme panic.

She tidied up the warehouse at hand, packed up a large amount of precious medicinal materials, and hurried back to her parents' home.

The Ulanala Mansion was also in a mess. Yihuan was next to her mother, and the mother and daughter were whispering to each other.

"Don't panic. For your father, dying on the battlefield is the most satisfying thing. Your mother has already realized it, and you should too." Lady Ulanara said it calmly, but one does not know how many tears she shed behind the scenes to make such a determination.

"Your father came back quite late today. I'm afraid you won't be able to see him. Come back tomorrow."

"During this period, I saw that you were unwilling to come home because of the eldest princess." Lady Ulanara saw that her daughter's face was rosy and she could tell that she was living a comfortable life, so she felt relieved.

"Don't worry, as long as Lord Beile nods, the marriage will not change." Lady Ulanara spoke casually, as if her mood was not affected by the fact that Fei Yanggu was going to the battlefield at an advanced age.

Yihuan's anxious heart gradually calmed down.
