The empress's gaze turned distant, as if lost in distant memories.

They did not expect that they would be fated to be born on the same day of the same year as Princess Eleven.

"Muhou, so you gave birth to me for such a long time." Young Master Ma said.

The empress didn't say a word to her. She took out a longevity lock from under her pillow and placed it in his hand. "Here, take it."

The Eleventh Princess looked at the longevity lock and said, "This is a baby's item. Muhou, did it belong to me when I was young? How did you impart the [Consecutive Technique]?"

The empress shook her head. "This isn't yours. It belongs to someone else."

"Whose?" Princess Eleven was chasing after her.

"Don't ask anymore. You won't understand even if I tell you." The empress seemed to be rather tired as she replied.

Lian Fang looked at the longevity lock in his hand and thanked the empress for her reward. The empress closed her eyes and said, "Alright, all of you can leave. I'll be resting now."

After exiting the Changchun Palace, Princess Eleven was confused and said, "Lian Fu, my mother's illness has never recovered. These days, she has been saying things that I don't understand, and she even said that if I didn't enter the palace, I wouldn't have to go through such hardships. I was clearly born in the palace, and she even said things like 'don't enter the palace'. If you don't want this longevity lock, then give it to me. "

Lian Meng looked at the longevity lock in his hand and said, "Since it was bestowed by the empress, I'll take it."

"Then... "Fine." Princess Eleven nodded and said.

"Princess, I'm leaving." Lian Meng suddenly said.

Princess Eleven's hands froze as the smile froze on her face. She slowly turned her head with a puzzled look on her face and asked, "Lian Fu, where are you going?"

"I am going to the mountain customs to find my fourth uncle. He is in charge of guarding the border. Recently, the mountain customs has not been peaceful. I am going to the military to lend him a hand." Princess, please take good care of yourself. " Lian Fang told Feng Lingyue his decision first.

"You … Have you decided? " Princess Eleven knows exactly why he left, but she feels reluctant to part with him. Even if he doesn't, there won't be much chance for them to meet again.

"Yes, I have already decided. This time, I will bid farewell to the princess." Lian Fu looked at the innocent girl in front of him and felt his heart ache.

"Then will you still come back?" Princess Eleven's eyes were misted up and she asked with a choked voice. She felt a tiny bit of expectation that she didn't dare to show.

"I don't know." Lian Nu shook his head. A flash of sadness appeared in his eyes before he quickly smiled and said, "However, I will be fine. I won't die."

"Don't say that. The incantation!" When Princess Eleven heard the word "dead," she felt a wave of fear and trepidation. She quickly stood on her tiptoes and covered his mouth with her hand. "Whether you come back or not, you will be fine, I believe, because you are a good man and Heaven will treat you well."

Lian Meng smiled, "Yes, you're right. Princess, I will be fine."

He raised his hand hesitantly, slowly landing it on Princess Eleven's head. He gently patted her head, then suddenly turned around and quickly left the Eternal Spring Palace. As Feng Lingyue watched his back gradually fade into the distance, her nose turned sour and her tears began to fall.

Consecutive technique, may there be a fresh and angry horse to accompany you in fighting for the Heaven's Edge of the Sword.

Consecutive, may we be safe and sound when we meet again.

At Hall of Rongyuan, Zhou Cheng Di sat on the dragon throne and sized up the youth before him. His eyes revealed a sense of surprise as he asked, "You specifically entered the palace to beg me for a royal decree to send you to the mountain customs to fight with the army?"

Lian Fu's expression was extremely solemn. He nodded and said, "Yes, I ask for Your Majesty's permission."

"Why do you want to join the army? "Your family was promoted to a civil servant until your fourth uncle, Lian Lang, produced a military general. You are the sole legitimate son of the Prime Minister, and normally speaking, he didn't even want you to join the army." Zhou Chengdi asked.

"All men will show their manhood in their lives!" "I wish to go to the military to gain experience and become a man who can protect his family and protect his country. This is my wish." The young man's eyes were filled with persistence.

Zhou Cheng Di nodded and said, "Then, why should I agree to your request?"

The majority of the other generals are under the tutelage of the Duke of Xiao Nation. If the Emperor were to have another general who is on par with the Heavenly Treasure Great General, the Imperial Court would definitely add more wings to its ranks.

The Prince An Ping of the three vassals is the father-in-law of the Duke of Xiao Guo, and he still doesn't know where the Xiao family is going. If he can keep his own side of the mantra, it will also save the Emperor a lot of worries. "

Actually, after the Emperor had only punished the Duke of Xiao and Xiao He for their salaries, punished them for their crimes, and did not strip them of their title, not being able to shake up the Xiao family, he now understood —

At the moment, unless the Xiao family colluded with the enemy to sell out the kingdom, it would not collapse so easily. At most, the Emperor would punish them a little, because after so many years, Xiao Zhenhai's roots were too deep and his hands were too long.

However, if one day the Emperor no longer relies on the Xiao family, will Big Sis be able to tear this scorpion, Xiao Zhenhai, into two without any scruples?

When Zhou Chengdi heard this, he couldn't help but have a whole new level of respect for this young man. Even though he was young, he still considered this aspect. Currently, the relationship between the vassal lords and the imperial government was not as stable as it appeared to be. He was indeed lacking a general in the imperial court, and this incantation in front of him —

He might be the best candidate.

"Alright!" Emperor Zhou Cheng hit the table and said, "Lian Fang, I order you to go to the mountain customs to train in the army, but I will not grant you any official position. Moreover, you must not reveal your identity, and you must not directly acknowledge your fourth uncle. If not, from now on, you must stay in the army and never return to become an official in the capital.

"Yes, Sir!" Without any hesitation, Lian Fu agreed to the emperor's request.

"I hope I'm not wrong about you." Zhou Chengdi stood up and walked up to him, patting him on the shoulder as he spoke.

"Your majesty, I have a request for your incantation." Lian Meng said as he clenched his fists in his sleeves.

"Go ahead."

Lian Fu kneeled down on both knees and pleaded:

"And it's still about Princess Eleven. The incantation cannot interfere with the empress's harem, and the incantation only asks the emperor to restore his position as the Eleventh Princess, so that the servant who knows her heart can return to her side to serve her. If Princess Eleven is wrong, then her fault lies in her being the daughter of the empress, and the sister of the crown prince. "I beg the Emperor to be merciful to the Princess, and to let her off the hook."
