Marrying a Disabled General and be His Wife

Dayong Palace.

Feng Mingyuan took the letter written by Tuoba Lan and looked at the woman beside her: “Aunt, do you think I should save Tuoba Lan?”

Feng Mingzhen was Feng Mingyuan’s biological aunt.

Feng Mingyuan was too young when she became the Empress Dowager, and Baili Chengzhi was only eight years old.

In order to preserve the Baili clan and suppress the eunuch forces headed by Cui Yuanqing, Feng Mingyuan must rely on the power of her natal’s clan.

While using the power of her natal’s clan, she summoned her biological aunt Feng Mingzhen into the palace to provide advice to for her.

It took three years for Feng Mingyuan to successfully suppress Cui Yuanqing, but the world’s pattern had been decided.

Qi Kingdom and Jing Kingdom had already supported their own troops and it was difficult to recover.

Zhao State, which surrendered to Dayong Dynasty, was renamed Zhao Kingdom and declared independent.

Internal strife had not been eliminated, and external calamities had followed closely. Feng Mingyuan had aged at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Fortunately, Zhao Kingdom’s ambitions were not as great as those of Qi Kingdom and Jing Kingdom. Its emergence also relieved a certain amount of pressure on Great Yong and successfully restrained Qi Kingdom and Jing Kingdom, preventing them from acting rashly.

But there was one thing that Feng Mingyuan missed. She didn’t expect that Cui Yuanqing would make a secret move when he lost, sending Wu Guangping, an inconspicuous eunuch, to Qi Kingdom, allowing him to climb up the ladder step by step and take the position of chief eunuch.

However, knowing that Eunuch Wu was Cui Yuanqing’s man, one thing madde sense.

How could Baili Rongyan, the queen of Qi Kingdom whom Great Yong married, be assassinated so easily during an autumn hunt? Wu Guangping must have done something secretly!

Cui Yuanqing’s success in playing this secret chess blinded her in one eye, and she was unable to control Qi Kingdom’s every move from then on.

Fortunately, Baili Ronghua, the queen of Jing Kingdom, was okay. Although she was a little pampered, she still handled things safely. Over the years, she not only reported every move of the Jing Kingdom but also successfully killed the late Queen Feng Qingrao and her legitimate son. The foundation was laid for Great Yong’s reunification.

As long as Baili Ronghua successfully assisted Chu Yiheng in ascending to the throne, then the Jing Kingdom would become a dependency of Great Yong, and its recovery would be a matter of time.

The only variable was Feng Chilie…

Feng Mingyuan was really unsure. She looked at Feng Mingzhen, waiting for her answer.

Feng Mingzhen said: “Empress Dowager, this matter is not easy to handle. Xibo is a little delicate, if we save Tuoba Lan, I’m afraid she will not keep her promise and bow to us. If she isn’t saved, Tuoba Lan will be forced to switch to Cui Yuanqing, and it is not safe for us. Although the Jing Kingdom doesn’t know that it was Baili Ronghua who encouraged Concubine Chun to set the fire, they still have a blood feud with us.”

Feng Mingzhen lit the agarwood incense for Feng Mingyuan. : “If this matter is exposed, Chu Minghan will definitely turn his back on Baili Ronghua based on his friendship with Feng Qingrao.”

Feng Mingyuan knew this, so she was hesitant about whether to save Tuo Balan.

“Auntie,” Feng Mingyuan closed her eyes with a headache: “Tell me, did I make a mistake in playing chess back then? I shouldn’t have allowed Baili Ronghua to encourage Concubine Chun to harm the daughter of the Feng family.”

“No, Madam, this move is correct,” Feng Mingzhen said. “If Feng Qingrao’s son is alive, he will definitely be the future king of the Jing Kingdom. If he becomes the king, the Feng family will definitely support it, and we will not be able to regain the Jing Kingdom.”

It’s just…” Feng Mingzhen paused for a moment. “We were careful and allowed Cui Yuanqing to play Eunuch Wu as hidden chess, which put us in this embarrassing situation now.”

Feng Mingyuan hated Cui Yuanqing to death. Because of this eunuch, Great Yong was torn apart. She also lost her husband in the best years of her life. She led Baili Chengzhi and a group of men to fight in the court alone.

She could have not done this, allowing Cui Yuanqing to instigate Great Yong’s imperial power, but she loved her husband.

Feng Mingyuan would never forget what Baili Ren said to her when he died.

“Ah Yuan,” Baili Ren held her hand and cried with blood in his eyes, “I’m not willing to give in. I haven’t killed Cui Yuanqing yet, and I haven’t reunited with Great Yong. How can I be willing to give in?

“I know, I know everything,” Feng Mingyuan, who still looked like a girl, held Baili Ren back and said, “I will accompany you to complete these things. You can definitely do it.”

“I can’t finish it.” Baili Ren was poisoned at that time, and he choked out a mouthful of blood from his chest. His breath wandered, and he said, “Ah Yuan, please hold on, raise our son, and let him inherit the ambition of our ancestors and save Great Yong.”

“What I can do…” Feng Mingyuan cried and said, “I don’t understand power, nor the way of an emperor. How can I do it?”

Baili Ren left his last words with his last breath: “Ah Yuan, I believe in you, and Great Yong’s future will be left to you…”

Feng Mingyuan’s first half of her life was very happy. She and Baili Ren were childhood sweethearts, and when Baili Ren married her, he promised that she would be his only wife in this life.

But Feng Mingyuan knew very well that the emperor had three wives and four concubines, and she was ready to compete with the concubines for their favor.

However, Baili Ren kept his promise. After ascending to the throne, he did not take any concubines and protected her well. Before losing her husband, Feng Mingyuan was naive and ignorant. After losing him, she learned to calculate and kill, and her delicate jade fingers, once unstained by blood, turned red and could no longer be washed away.

.

Feng Mingyuan, sitting on the edge of collapse, thought of Baili Ren again, and a line of clear tears fell from her eyes.

Feng Mingyuan did not wipe the tears. Instead, she lowered her head and looked at her palm.

“We can’t bear Jing Kingdom’s anger, and Feng Chilie’s threat is too great.” Feng Mingyuan clenched her hands heavily. “Take a gamble and save Tuoba Lan!”
