At the gate of the Fan Mansion, Haitang Duoduo and Zhan Doudou had both washed and dressed up.

Zhan Doudou looked no different from usual.

When she wore women's clothes, although she was not absolutely beautiful, she had an unattainable temperament.

Haitang Duoduo was different. This saintly lady of Northern Qi was used to doing whatever she wanted. She usually dressed in a peasant girl's dress and liked to carry a basket in her hands.

The basket can be used to hold flowers or feed, which is very practical.

The most peculiar thing is that there are two axes stuck behind Haitang Duoduo's waist, which is incompatible with her personality.

But the Begonias never get tired of it.

She is a casual person and never restricts herself too much because of her identity as the Holy Maiden of Northern Qi.

As long as it wasn't in the court of Northern Qi, Haitang Duoduo would not care about face at all...

But today, the former village girl has changed into a completely different outfit.

The white dress is beautiful and not cumbersome.

Even the extremely picky Haitang Duoduo did not raise any objection when she put on the skirt.

This is not to say that the skirt is comfortable for her to wear, but mainly because Haitang Duoduo feels that the skirt does not affect her fighting.

This is the highest standard that Northern Qi girls require of clothing.

Compared to Haitang Duoduo, Zhan Doudou seems more excited.

"Little Sister, you look so beautiful in this dress!"

It is difficult for Haitang Duoduo to dress up like this at ordinary times, but now that she is dressed up, she looks quite eye-catching.

As a close friend, Zhan Doudou was the first to give praise.

"Is it that pretty?"

Although Haitang Duoduo was still carefree, she was still happy when she heard the word "beautiful".

"We all want to see the Emperor of Daqing, otherwise why would we go through so much trouble?"

Haitang Duoduo's clothing must be consistent with her current identity.

"By the way, Doudou, aren't you nervous?"

As the young emperor of Northern Qi, he went to meet the Emperor of Daqing as the eldest daughter-in-law of the Fan family.

The Emperor of Daqing was himself a powerful master.

Even the Saintess of Northern Qi, who was a ninth-rank expert, was very nervous, not to mention Zhan Doudou, who was far inferior to her in strength.

With Zhan Doudou’s identity, Haitang Duoduo couldn’t imagine the scene of the emperors of the two countries meeting?
If their identities were exposed by the Emperor of Daqing, they would not know what to do in Danzhou.
"We'll meet sooner or later, it's better to meet sooner rather than later!"

Unlike what Haitang Duoduo thought, Zhan Doudou didn't feel nervous at all about the upcoming meeting.

Instead, there is a sense of expectation.

As the emperor of Northern Qi, Zhan Doudou carefully studied the life of Emperor Qing.

So she knew very well what the Daqing emperor was thinking?
Although not all.

But there is one thing that Zhan Doudou, the young emperor of Northern Qi, can be sure of.

That is Emperor Qing, who must be planning to unify the world, just like her and Doudou.

From this point of view, there are only two people in the world who think alike.

That is her, Zhan Doudou, and Emperor Qing.

Perhaps in the eyes of the Daqing Emperor, Daqing had already secured victory.

They have three grand masters, and their national strength is much stronger than that of Northern Qi.

From these two aspects, the possibility of them unifying the world is definitely higher.

But Zhan Doudou doesn't think so.

From Emperor Qing's perspective, he must have believed that Northern Qi had no chance of winning and was just a piece of meat on the chopping board.

But actually?
Zhan Doudou looked at little Ruogu in his arms and curled the corners of his mouth.

Although Fan Bin is the master of Daqing, logically speaking, he should help Daqing.

But the future emperor of Northern Qi was his son Fan Bin.

What will Fan Bin choose?

Zhan Doudou knew what was going on.

She has been with Fan Bin for quite some time and is very familiar with her husband's character.

Fan Bin also has prejudices against the country.

For example, in Fan Bin’s heart, the East and the West have completely different senses of belonging.

But in Fan Bin's mind, there is actually not that much difference between Northern Qi and Daqing.

If it weren't for Xiao Ruogu, perhaps Fan Bin would have chosen Qing Kingdom.

But with Xiao Ruogu around, Fan Bin would definitely not choose Qing Kingdom, he would definitely help Northern Qi.

After all, helping Northern Qi is helping his own flesh and blood.

"The stronger Fan Bin is, the greater our chances of winning."

Although Emperor Qing is coming, Fan Bin is also here.

Zhan Doudou really couldn't think of anything so scary about her.

"Women are indeed the most vicious. Even if you don't think for yourself, you should at least think about your man. If your identity is revealed here, the Emperor of Daqing and Fan Bin will be completely at odds."

Haitang Duoduo teased.

As the saint of Northern Qi, she has stayed in Fan Mansion for such a long time.

Haitang Duoduo has also had a thorough understanding of the relationship between Emperor Qing and Fan Bin.

To put it bluntly, their current harmonious relationship was only barely maintained.

As long as it reaches a certain critical point, both sides will not be able to help but explode.

From Fan Bin's perspective, he certainly didn't want a conflict to break out so soon.

After all, he is still young and time is on his side.

The longer the time drags on, the more beneficial it will be for Fan Bin!
"So what? I think it's good that they're falling out."

Zhan Doudou obviously has his own ideas.

If Fan Bin and Emperor Qing fell out at this time, Emperor Qing would have no way to suppress Fan Bin.

At the very least, Fan Bin would bring his family to Northern Qi.

Once Fan Bin becomes stronger, he might kill Emperor Qing here.

No matter which of these two situations happens, it will be beneficial to Zhan Doudou.

It doesn't matter if your identity is exposed, it's more important to be completely bound to Fan Bin.

"You!"

Although Haitang Duoduo is straightforward, she is not stupid.

She quickly figured out Zhan Doudou's plan, and for a moment she didn't know how to comment on it.
"If your husband knew about this, would he punish you?"

Hearing Haitang Duoduo say this, Zhan Doudou disagreed: "I'm not afraid!"

While the two were talking, the old lady of the Fan family and Fan Bin also arrived.

Both of them looked very solemn.

Originally, the old lady of the Fan family had made up her mind that as long as Fan Bin was sure of success, they might as well take action in Danzhou.

To avoid long nights and many dreams.

Even Haitang Duoduo had noticed that the relationship between the Emperor of Qing and Fan Bin had become quite tense.

The relationship between them is by no means as harmonious as the people of Qing think.

As the head of the Fan family, the old lady obviously understood better the position of their Fan family and Emperor Qing that they would never stop fighting until one of them dies.

The old lady had made up her mind, but now she changed her mind.

It’s not that the old man suddenly became soft-hearted.

The main reason is that the old lady now has concerns.

Before, the old lady of the Fan family was considering taking action in Danzhou and killing Emperor Qing and all of his cronies.

Then they can call a horse a zebra.

Relying on the strength of Grand Master Fan Bin, he told the court that Emperor Qing had been assassinated.

It doesn't matter whether those people in the court believe it or not. As long as they have absolute strength, they have absolute right to speak.

They have the final say on the matter.

In this process, the old lady of the Fan family sacrificed her own life.

Even if the aftermath of the battle affected her, even if Emperor Qing attacked her.

The old lady didn't care.

Anyway, she has lived to such an old age, and for the sake of the entire Fan family, she can eliminate the biggest hidden danger.

The old lady thought that her death was a worthy one.

But now, her eldest grandson's wife has come, and her eldest great-grandson.

The old lady of the Fan family's concerns suddenly increased several times.

Although the possibility is not that great.

But the old lady of the Fan family can sacrifice her own life, but she cannot sacrifice the lives of her eldest grandson's wife and her eldest great-grandson.

After some hesitation, the old lady's advice to Fan Bin was to act according to circumstances.

If you are not absolutely sure, you don't have to rush into it.

Fan Bin originally had no intention of taking action in Danzhou.

At the same time, it was only after the old lady said that that Fan Bin realized that the old lady of the Fan family had already risked her life.

"Grandma, you can't do that!"

Fan Bin could only warn the old lady of the Fan family again and again, telling her not to have such thoughts.

The initiative now lies in the hands of the Fan family.

"There are three Grand Masters in Qing Country and two Grand Master families. Your Majesty dare not act rashly against any of them. If he succeeds, it's fine. Once he fails, he will have to face the rebellion of the two Grand Masters. There is also Si Gu Jian from Dongyi City and Ku He, the National Master of Northern Qi, who are watching covetously from outside..."

Fan Bin analyzed the current situation with the old lady.

The old lady of the Fan family also agreed with this.

They temporarily gave up the idea of ​​causing trouble for Emperor Qing.

Precisely because the previous topic was too heavy, the two of them had serious expressions on their faces until they reached the door.

"Grandma, what's wrong with you? You look so ugly..."

When Zhan Doudou saw Old Madam Fan, he immediately came over and held the old lady's arm.

"Grandma is fine, but she is a little worried about you. I watched His Majesty grow up under my watch, and his personality is a little hard to figure out. Just be careful."

The old lady, like everyone else in the Fan family, is unaware of Zhan Doudou's true identity.

The only one who knows this is Fan Xian.

After all, Fan Xian was the only one who had actually met the emperor of Northern Qi before. As long as Fan Xian was not around, the Fan family would not reveal any clues.

In this situation, even if Emperor Qing had some doubts in his heart, he could not guess the truth.

Haitang Duoduo was right about one thing.

Before the Dadongshan event, Fan Bin didn't want to cause any trouble.

By the time we reach Dadongshan, I guess everything will be settled.

Originally, everything went smoothly.

Even if Zhan Doudou had some ulterior motives in her mind, she would not take the initiative to reveal her identity and cause trouble for Fan Bin.

Zhan Doudou knew in her heart that no matter whether it was her own identity or Fan Bin’s identity.

She had no choice but to find another man.

She could only find Fan Bin.

In addition, Zhan Doudou has always been very happy with Fan Bin.

Zhan Doudou has also accepted in her heart the relationship between her and Fan Bin.

Although there were some calculations of interests in their relationship at the beginning.

Whether it is Zhan Doudou or Fan Bin, they came together because of their own interests.

But couples who stay together like this are not necessarily unhappy.

Especially when both of them focus on their respective careers, their sense of happiness in being together is still very high.

Besides, feelings need to be cultivated slowly.

At this point in time, Zhan Doudou's feelings for Fan Bin have become very deep.

Even if it was something very beneficial to her, Zhan Doudou would not do it as long as she thought that Fan Bin would be uncomfortable.

Change for the one you love, restrain for the one you love...

That's probably what it feels like.

As long as Zhan Doudou doesn't expose herself, Fan Bin feels that no accidents will happen.

But when Emperor Qing actually arrived, Fan Bin's originally calm heart was instantly stirred up by huge ripples.

It wasn't just Emperor Qing who appeared in front of him, there were other people around him.

Although there were not many people, Fan Bin knew them all.

Emperor Qing did not bring a large group of people with him. He seemed to want to have fun with the people and see what Danzhou is like today.

You have to know that Emperor Qing is a die-hard otaku. Because he is afraid of Ye Qingmei's mysterious weapon, Emperor Qing has not left his palace for many years.

Even though he had become a grandmaster, Emperor Qing was afraid that he would be killed the moment he showed his head.

Now Emperor Qing not only left Kyoto, but also strolled on the streets of Danzhou without any guards, looking like a refined gentleman.

There were many such people in Northern Qi.

But in Daqing, such gentry are still relatively rare.

In particular, Emperor Qing's good looks attracted a lot of attention.

But these are not the most important things.

The most important things are the four people following Emperor Qing. Fan Bin knows all of these four people.

The first one is Wang Buer, who serves Emperor Qing closely.

Wang Buer has become successful now. He has replaced Eunuch Hou and is following Emperor Qing.

Next is the ninth-rank archer Yan Xiaoyi.

Now that Hong Sixiang is dead, Yan Xiaoyi is the only ninth-rank master left in the palace.

Even though Yan Xiaoyi had made many mistakes before, he was promoted now to serve as a figurehead for Emperor Qing.

In addition to these two people, there was another person sitting in a wheelchair. When he saw Fan Bin, he smiled and nodded.

Although this man has a kind smile, I'm afraid anyone who meets him will not be happy.

After all, he is the chief spy of Qing State and the Chief Inspector General Chen Pingping, who is independent of the imperial court.

Wherever Chen Pingping appears, there is bound to be no peace.

What surprised Fan Bin even more was the young man in black who was pushing Chen Pingping.

If the boy is not Fan Xian, then who could he be?

This guy, who was originally carrying out a mission in Jiangnan, reunited with Emperor Qing and his men at some point in time.

"Fan Bin, meet your majesty!"

Just as Fan Bin was about to pay his respects, Emperor Qing took the initiative to reach out and help Fan Bin up, and then grabbed Madam Fan who was bowing.

"We are all non-outsider here, no need to be polite!"

After saying this, Emperor Qing turned his attention to Zhan Doudou and Xiao Ruogu.

"This must be Xiao Ruogu. This is the first time I see him."

Emperor Qing smiled.

Seeing the child, even someone like Emperor Qing seemed to become soft.

But Fan Bin did not dare to lower his guard at all.

He could see that Emperor Qing's smile did not reach his eyes. Not only that, Emperor Qing also looked at Haitang Duoduo.

Although it was not a long time, Fan Bin could still feel that Emperor Qing had recognized Haitang Duoduo's identity.

Haitang Duoduo’s identity has been exposed, so is Zhan Doudou far away?
