The dim back

Zhang Yulu was just preparing for Qiu Feng's residence.

After thinking for a long time, he said to Liu Zhongqing: "I think we should let Qiu Feng live farther away from you, so as to avoid giving people a chance to talk about you."

Liu Zhongqing thought it made sense: "You are more thoughtful. Let's do this for now. After a few days, we will deal with the current matter."

Liu Zhongqing asked, "Why does the Queen Mother want you to marry Lin Xuefeng? If it is to conceal the truth, there are more candidates, even a palace maid."

Zhang Yulu thought it made sense, blinked her eyes and said, "Could it be that the Queen Mother has other ideas?"

After hearing all this, Liu Zhongqing decided to find out: "I'm going to the palace tomorrow, so I'll ask her what she thinks."

Liu Zhongqing came over and said to Zhang Yulu, "Come with me to the palace tomorrow. Princess Honglian will be there too, because Shi Yufeng asked the Queen Mother to marry you."

Zhang Yulu began to get nervous: "Why would you come up with such a terrible idea? The Shi family is not a good match for me."

Liu Zhongqing told the truth: "The Queen Mother is now relying on the Shi family. She must have her own considerations, otherwise this situation would not have happened."

After hearing all this, Qiu Feng said, "I am no longer surprised by such things. Recently, I heard that Princess Honglian is looking for a son-in-law everywhere. We must not be fooled."

After hearing this, Zhang Yulu had his own idea: "So this is aimed at me, then I will solve this matter satisfactorily."

Liu Zhongqing was very worried: "What can you do? The Queen Mother is not so easy to talk to."

After hearing this, Zhang Yulu hurried over and asked Liu Zhongqing: "What do you want to do?"

After hearing this, Zhang Yulu remembered something: "Doesn't the Queen Mother like to watch magic shows? I specially invited a troupe to come and see if I can win the Queen Mother's favor."

Liu Zhongqing felt that it was not that simple: "Do you have any other ideas?"

After hearing this, Zhang Yulu seemed very mysterious and shook her head: "I have nothing to say, I just feel uncomfortable all over, I want to go back and rest."

Zhang Yulu was obviously trying to shirk responsibility, and Liu Zhongqing didn't want to disturb her, so he said calmly, "Then I'll do whatever you say. Anyway, I don't know what to say to you."

After dinner, seeing Zhang Yulu's thoughtful face, Liu Zhongqing asked tentatively: "Do you have anything to tell me?"

Zhang Yulu looked at Liu Zhongqing in confusion: "If I can't handle this properly, will it lead to the Queen Mother's murder? Why did Shi Yufeng and Lin Xuefeng come to see me?"

Hearing this, Liu Zhongqing had an idea: "Is there something on you that they want?"

Zhang Yulu thought about it and realized that his current identity was special, but only Lin Xuefeng knew about this matter. Lin Xuefeng couldn't talk nonsense to the Queen Mother, otherwise his own identity would be exposed.

Zhang Yulu suddenly understood: "The emperor must need me somewhere. I plan to go to the palace to take a look."

Liu Zhongqing understood: "Your Majesty, the most troubling thing right now is the arrival of envoys from other countries. They are well prepared and will definitely embarrass us."

Zhang Yulu seemed very calm: "If an enemy comes, we will fight him; if a flood comes, we will block it with earth. There is nothing to be nervous about. Then let me go to the palace to meet them."

Liu Zhongqing had an idea: "If the problem is really easy to solve, you must listen to me and leave the palace as soon as possible after solving it. After all, it is not a place to stay for a long time."

The two entered the palace the next day, and the emperor mentioned this matter: "I heard that this man from Lanfu Country is very smart. I don't want to lose our national prestige."

Liu Zhongqing asked the emperor, "How powerful is this person? Can you tell us?"

After hearing this, the emperor said to Zhang Yulu and Liu Zhongqing: "Listen to me, I heard that the leader is a man named Wu Yuan, who is known as the brains of their country."

Zhang Yulu thought for a moment and said, "Then leave this person to me. I would like to meet him."

Liu Zhongqing quickly interrupted: "Your Majesty, to be on the safe side, I am willing to join as well."

The emperor smiled grimly, "It seems that you are afraid that your fiancée will be punished. Well, both of you try your best to complete this task, or I will make you suffer."

No one dared to speak carelessly when it came to matters of state. The emperor thought for a moment and said, "Listen to me, both of you. I heard that Wu Yuan cannot inhale pollen. You must remember this."

After hearing this, Zhang Yulu had his own ideas: "If this is the case, then there is no need for us to do anything. Let's just wait quietly. If we are helpless, we can use pollen to deal with Wuyuan."

Liu Zhongqing felt that something was wrong: "If they knew about this, they would provoke a dispute between the two countries and think that we were disrespecting this person. The only thing we can do now is to wait here quietly for Wu Yuan and see what big move he has next."

The master of Honglian County arrived before he died: "Your Majesty, Honglian requests a meeting."

When the emperor heard these voices, he held his forehead and sighed: "This princess came here for no reason. I am really convinced."

After hearing this, Liu Zhongqing quickly hid aside and said to Zhang Yulu: "Regarding this Princess Honglian, you must not confront her head-on. You must go along with her in everything, otherwise we will be doomed."

Zhang Yulu felt very strange: "Is it really that scary? I really want to see it again."

After hearing this, Princess Honglian ran in, wearing a fiery red dress and having a very eccentric personality: "Brother Emperor, why do you hide when you see me? I really have something to tell you."

The emperor had no choice but to put down the memorial in his hand and said: "If you have something to say, please tell me now. We are still discussing important matters here."

Princess Honglian turned and looked at Zhang Yulu: "Can you discuss important matters with a woman?"

Zhang Yulu didn't want to hear this, and asked Princess Honglian: "Isn't the princess here too? Is the princess a man?"

This was the first time Princess Honglian had been told this by someone else, so she naturally wouldn’t let Zhang Yulu off the hook: “This is the first time someone dares to speak to me like this. I’ll let you know how powerful I am.”

Just as Princess Honglian was about to take action, Liu Zhongqing, who was standing by, immediately stood in front of Zhang Yulu and said to her, "Princess Honglian, how can you speak nonsense? This really damages the prestige of the country. If you are really that powerful, then Wu Yuan will be left to you tomorrow."
