I am happy to be a mother in a famine year, I have a system to farm the land

Seeing Rong Jiao's expression, the Eighth Prince couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat.

"What? My father-in-law, why not agree to send troops?"

Rong Jiao sighed and took Prince Rong's letter over.

"Your Majesty, it's better to see for yourself."

Seeing the contents of Prince Rong's letter, the expression on his face stiffened.

He never expected that Prince Rong would be unwilling to send troops at this time.

"Your Majesty, it's all my fault. It's my fault that I failed to persuade my father. This is what makes it difficult for you, Your Majesty."

Seeing the beauty crying, the Eighth Prince quickly took her into his arms and comforted her.

"Don't worry, Jiao'er. You have tried your best, and I know that."

Although the Eighth Prince was a little angry about Prince Rong's unwillingness to send troops, he also knew that Prince Rong's considerations were unreasonable.

If there is no clear indication of the situation in this week, Prince Rong may be disadvantageous to Baiyue if he sends troops rashly.

Wanting to understand the key to this, the Eighth Prince couldn't help but sigh.

"I can't blame you for this. It was my father-in-law who thought carefully about it. This is something we didn't expect. Thanks to my father-in-law's reminder, otherwise it would be bad if we were eager for quick success and our father would find out the clues."

After hearing the eighth prince's persuasion, Rong Jiao felt much better.

I just thought that the eighth prince was speaking from his heart, and the tension in his heart dissipated a lot.

But what she didn't know was that after the Eighth Prince left the courtyard, his expression darkened.

"My lord..."

The attendants on the side saw that the Eighth Prince's face was not very good-looking, and for a moment they didn't know how to persuade him.

The Eighth Prince narrowed his eyes and was silent for a long time, and finally decided to go to Sima Lian to discuss the matter in person.

"Let's go. We haven't visited Prime Minister Sima for a long time. I have a difficult matter here and I want to ask Prime Minister Sima for help."

Since Prince Rong is beyond their control, they have to think of other ways.

Everything the Eighth Prince and Rong Jiao did was done secretly, and the steward did not know about it.

But when he saw the Eighth Prince coming out of Rong Jiao's courtyard, his face looked a little unhappy, and he thought he was angry at Rong Jiao.

Although the steward was not happy to see the relationship between Concubine Rong and the Eighth Prince get better, he would not give Concubine Rong eye drops at this time.

Now that he heard that the Eighth Prince was going to the Prime Minister's Mansion, although the steward didn't know the reason, he was also happy to see that his master would no longer go to Rong Jiao.

He hurriedly asked someone to prepare a carriage for the Eighth Prince, and then the group headed towards Sima Mansion.

Sima Lian was also dealing with Linxian affairs in the study. After all, the emperor had handed over Linxian affairs to King Ling. If the matter was not dealt with in time, he might be implicated.

Suddenly, Sima Lian was startled when he heard the report from the guards that the Eighth Prince had arrived.

After all, after the incident in Linxian came out, everyone in the court was panicking, fearing that Prince Ling would find out about them.

Even the Eighth Prince and himself kept distance for fear of being suspected.

But today the Eighth Prince came to him openly, which made Sima Lian always feel that something was wrong.

"What are you doing standing still? Why don't you invite the prince in quickly?"

Looking at his stunned efforts, the guard was also motionless at the door, which made Sima Lian feel a little depressed.

But he also knew that the guards were not to blame for this matter, and he had no choice but to give up in the end.

After tidying up his clothes, Sima Lian went to greet the Eighth Prince in person.

As soon as he walked to the door of the study, he saw the Eighth Prince striding towards this direction.

Seeing this, Sima Lian immediately bowed and saluted.

"I will pay my respects to the Eighth Prince."

The Eighth Prince hurriedly helped the person up.

"What are you doing, Prime Minister? The relationship between the two of us does not require such a great gift."

However, Sima Lian's attitude was still respectful, "Courtesy cannot be wasted."

Although I don’t know whether the Eighth Prince will sit in that position in the future, respect for the Eighth Prince is indispensable now.

If the Eighth Prince really takes that position, if he thinks of it in the future, he may feel unhappy.

Sure enough, after hearing Sima Lian's words, the Eighth Prince was very pleased.

"Your Excellency, the Prime Minister, is a great hero of our Great Zhou Dynasty and a pillar of talent, so we can avoid such small courtesy."

Knowing that the Eighth Prince was not being polite to him this time, Sima Lian handed over his hand and thanked him.

"Thank you, Eighth Prince."

The Eighth Prince followed Sima Lian into the study and raised his eyebrows when he saw what Sima Lian was dealing with.

"The Prime Minister is also dealing with Lin County's affairs?"

Both of them were tacit about Linxian's affairs.

After all, if Linxian's affairs were found out, neither of them would be able to escape their involvement.

Thinking of this, Sima Lian did not stop the Eighth Prince from checking the affairs in Linxian County.

Perhaps the more the two of them know about Linxian's affairs, the better they can handle Linxian's affairs.

"I wonder if the Eighth Prince came to see me this time. What's the matter?"

Sima Lian knew better than anyone that if there wasn't something important, the Eighth Prince wouldn't come to him.

Sure enough, the Eighth Prince sighed after sitting down.

He didn't say much, but took out a letter from his arms.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister, you may wish to read this letter."

At first, Sima Lian was wondering why the Eighth Prince wanted him to read a letter, but when he saw the contents of the letter, Sima Lian couldn't help but frown.

"So, Prince Rong doesn't plan to send troops at this time?"

The Eighth Prince nodded, "I didn't expect things to turn out like this."

Sima Lian also frowned. The biggest reason why he was willing to cooperate with Rong Jiao in the first place was because of Prince Rong.

Now that Prince Rong no longer listens to his daughter, what they do has indeed become more dangerous.

Moreover, Prince Rong's soldiers and horses were not only a great threat to the Great Zhou Dynasty, but also to the people of Fan State.

Only when Prince Rong comes forward can his son be safe in the hands of the foreigners.

But now...

"What does the prince think about this matter?"

The Eighth Prince shook his head, "I only found out about this matter today. It is precisely because I don't have a clue that I came to the Prime Minister to discuss this matter."

After hearing this, Sima Lian understood the purpose of the Eighth Prince's visit today.

"If the prince really wants to ask the official what he thinks, the official does have a solution, but the prince needs to come forward in person."

The Eighth Prince knew that if he came to Sima Lian, he would be able to find a solution.

Now that he heard this, the Eighth Prince quickly said: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister, it doesn't matter."

Sima Lian sighed, "To the prince now, the most important thing is not the civil servants, but the generals."

The Eighth Prince frowned. He had always felt that as long as he won over the civil servants in the court, he would be able to gain a firm foothold in the court.
