Love is like a battlefield, to catch a thief, you must first catch the leader.

Although this analogy is not quite right, this is the meaning.

Regarding Prince Consort Pei, Shen Quan's attitude on this matter is to first see what the eldest princess' attitude is, and everything else is just a minor matter.

The reason why he and the eldest princess have their current fate is not because of mutual affection. The eldest princess does not have him in her heart yet, and Shen Quan knows it very well.

But in war, nothing is ready, and this is even more true in love. You have to strike when the time is right.

You are too entangled. Is it because of the Hehuan Gu or because the two of you are in love? You have to wait until the two of you are in love before taking action. Otherwise, the opportunity will be lost and you won't even be able to drink a sip of the soup. You will get nothing.

If a military general wants something, he has to snatch it away. Since the princess doesn't have him in her heart, he should show his ability and fight for her, and turn the relationship between the two into mutual affection.

If you can't defeat others, then victory and defeat are common in the military. Regroup and fight Shen again.

If other people cannot defeat him, they are just defeated by Shen Quan and are not worth mentioning.

When General Shen left the Princess's Mansion that day to hunt live geese as a betrothal gift, he had already thought clearly about what he really wanted and the possible obstacles he might encounter.

He was able to get what he wanted because of the Hehuan Gu and enjoyed the benefits it brought him, but naturally he had to bear the disadvantages it brought him. He could not expect to take all the benefits.

So when Xiao Guo said that Lord Pei moved into the Princess's Mansion, it would be more accurate to say that he moved back to the Princess's Mansion. Lord Pei had lived in the Princess's Mansion before. Shen Quan hummed and didn't say much.

Even when he was having dinner with Su Fengyi at night, Shen Quan didn't mention it at all, nor did he ask. He would never mention other people's names in front of the princess to make others feel important.

It was Su Fengyi who asked him:

"General Shen has made great contributions this time. He has recaptured the land that was previously occupied by Zuo Xian Wang and opened up the road to Wusi Country. Does the emperor have any reward today?"

Shen Quan smiled and said:

“The Emperor promoted Shen by two ranks, from the second rank Auxiliary General to the first rank Protector of the Nation General, and ordered Shen to lead the two prefectures of Pingcheng and Xuancheng.

I asked for the position of general of Xuanfu for Lao Yan, and the position of general of Pingcheng for Lao Ye, and let Lao Ye be in charge of Pingcheng.

By the way, Qian Baihu played an indispensable role in catching up with Zuo Xian Wang this time. The emperor still remembered Qian Baihu and promoted him to the rank of Qian Hu. "

When Shen Quan talked about Pingcheng, his tone was calm and he didn't even frown.

Su Fengyi was a little unsure. Did General Shen not know about it because he didn't like gossip, or did he know about it but was pretending to be stupid?

Su Fengyi felt that some things were better to be made clear in advance. If they were delayed for too long, they would be brought up later and would become a grudge between the two of them and cause trouble.

So when he mentioned Pingcheng, Su Fengyi said:

"General Shen is the first among all the generals to be a first-rank general. Congratulations to General Shen.

Since General Shen mentioned Pingcheng, there is something I want you to know. Lord Pei is also in my house.

Although Pei Zhaoming is in charge of border trade, it is my job to handle it.

Since you are in charge of Pingcheng, you can also help me take care of border trade in the future."

Since the princess mentioned Pei Yu, Shen Quan couldn't pretend he didn't know, so he asked:

"Your Highness has met Lord Pei, but have you tried it? Can the poison be cured?"

Su Fengyi thought for a moment and said:

"Almost. Maybe a little more."

Shen Quan looked serious:

"There are some more. This is Shen's fault. Your Highness, please take your medicine early today. Shen will do his best to serve you."

It's over. At night, the dignified and polite General Shen disappeared again, and the General Shen with a mind full of nonsense appeared again.

Su Fengyi glared at him:

"Eat well! Stop saying such nonsense!"

When the enemy advances, I retreat; when the enemy retreats, I harass.

The princess was angry, and General Shen immediately changed his strategy. He stopped talking about taking medicine and admitted his mistake immediately:

"Yes, it was Shen Menglang who was reckless. Your Highness, please forgive me."

The two of them ate in silence for a while. Halfway through the meal, General Shen seemed to have finally remembered and asked:

"Your Highness specifically mentioned Lord Pei, but because Your Highness has him in your heart, does that mean you want to divorce me?

Your Highness, rest assured. Your Highness's affairs are Shen's affairs. Border trade is a matter of great importance. Whoever dares to disrupt Your Highness's affairs, Shen will definitely execute him to set things right.

Even if Your Highness wants to divorce Shen, it will still be the same."

General Shen spoke so sincerely that Su Fengyi felt that it was inappropriate for her to be so harsh to him just now.

Su Fengyi hurriedly said:

“That’s not the case, but the relationship between me and him is unclear at the moment, and I don’t want to lie to you.

If you mind, you can tell me directly."

That's not the case.

Shen Quan's mouth curled up slightly:

"it is good."

Although he himself had not entered His Highness' heart, Shen Quan sincerely felt that there was nothing to be bothered about as he was a defeated general who also had not entered His Highness' heart.

Shen Quan was in a good mood until after dinner, when Wutong came to report to Su Fengyi.

Xie Xuan arranged secret agents to keep an eye on Qiao Gui's movements 24 hours a day. Originally, Xie Xuan would personally report the results every day, but recently it has been Wutong who has been reporting.

Su Fengyi was a little curious after not seeing Xie Xuan for several days:

"Where's Commander Xie? What have you been busy with these days?"

Wutong had anticipated His Highness's question and had already prepared an answer, so he replied:

"Commander Xie has gone to keep an eye on Qiao Gui personally. Qiao Gui has recently invited many doctors to the Qiao Mansion. Commander Xie is worried and has been keeping an eye on this matter day and night."

Su Fengyi felt something was wrong. When Xie Xuan did things, he paid attention to the quickest and most effective way. He was not the kind of person who would do everything himself. Why did he do it personally?

Su Fengyi asked a lot of questions about Xie Xuan's recent situation, but she didn't get any information. Instead, she became even more worried and said to Wutong:

"Tell him to come back. I have something to ask him."

General Shen stood aside silently, observing everything secretly. Seeing the princess's worry about Commander Xie, he thought to himself:

"It turns out that there is another strong enemy, and he is here."
