"Who led the troops to Suzhou?" Shen Suian suspected that he had heard it wrong and asked again.
Yu Bai: "My Lady, it was General Zhong who brought five hundred elite soldiers to Suzhou to assist the prince in training water warfare."
"It's actually Mrs. Zhong!" Shen Suian's mouth curled up.
"That's a good thing. I heard that Madam Zhong is the only general who is good at naval warfare."
"Yes, ten years ago, the Western Region wanted to occupy Suzhou and take Yingzui Bay for themselves. It was General Zhong who led her female soldiers to fight a bloody battle with the Western Region in Suhe for three months and completely drove the Western Region out of the Southern Dynasty."
Shen Sui'an smiled and said, "Go prepare a house for Madam Zhong to stay in when she arrives."
Because of the nursery rhyme and Salt Lake City incidents, they all had a subconscious resistance to female armies and female officers. If the person leading the troops was not Mrs. Zhong, Shen Sui'an would definitely have the idea of resisting.
Queen Mother Ruan must have known this, which is why she let Madam Zhong lead the troops.
Shen Sui'an told the Empress Dowager the news.
The Empress Dowager smiled and said, "She wants to ease the relationship with A Yuan, which is not a bad thing."
"Suzhou does need a strong and experienced navy, otherwise it will not be able to resist enemy attacks in the future. We welcome anyone to help A Yuan."
Shen Sui'an said, "My grandson's wife thinks the same way. I have a friendship with Madam Zhong, and the Queen Mother sent her here for a reason."
"You will be rewarded for being kind to others." The Empress Dowager patted the back of Shen Sui'an's hand.
At night, Fu Jinyuan came back covered in sweat.
Shen Sui'an rubbed his back and said, "I've been training at sea every day recently, and I've gotten quite a bit tanned."
"I'm still relatively lucky. Du Youchuan and the others have their skin peeling due to sunburn," said Fu Jinyuan.
Getting tanned is no big deal. Many young masters with delicate skin would have their skin peeled off after just two days at sea.
He also had someone prepare a lot of medicine for use.
"Have you heard that the Queen Mother ordered Madam Zhong to lead troops to Suzhou?" Shen Sui'an asked.
"Yeah." Fu Jinyuan nodded slightly.
Shen Sui'an: "I think it's great. Madam Zhong has experience fighting against pirates and the Western Regions. We can learn from her."
"Are you worried that I have a grudge against female soldiers?" Fu Jinyuan asked with a smile.
"It's one person who's wrong, not everyone." Shen Sui'an said softly, "I'm a little worried about what other people think."
Fu Jinyuan: "Madam Zhong has been defending the country on the border for many years. She is also a senior whom I admire very much. The women's army also guards this territory. I will not deny everyone because of a few people."
There have been scum in the military camp. Can we deny the entire team just because of one general?
Shen Sui'an kissed him on the cheek, "Your Majesty is indeed tolerant."
Fu Jinyuan rubbed her fingers, "You are worried that I have resentment towards the Queen Mother."
"Do you have it?" Shen Suian asked in a low voice.
Resentment is an emotion that makes one feel uncomfortable, and she certainly doesn't like Fu Jinyuan to have any burden in his heart.
"Feeling resentful means being dissatisfied with life. Now I have you and Chao Ge'er, my grandmother and Yi'er by my side. I don't ask for anything, so I don't feel resentful." Fu Jinyuan said.
He no longer felt it was important whether Queen Mother Ruan had motherly feelings for him.
Shen Sui'an hugged him and said, "My husband, you are the most important to me and our children. No one and nothing in this world is more important than you."
So no matter whether Queen Mother Ruan is now intending to repair the relationship or for other reasons, they should just accept it calmly. As for how to respond, just let nature take its course.
"Don't put on your clothes yet, I'll go get the ointment." Shen Suian said.
Some parts of his body were sunburned.
Fu Jinyuan: "It will be fine tomorrow."
"If you stay in the sun like this every day for too long, you will get hurt." Shen Suian glared at him.
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Fu Jinyuan said with a smile.
……
A few days later, before Mrs. Zhong arrived, Shen Sui'an had an unexpected guest.
"Princess Yuanjia?" Shen Suian widened his eyes in surprise.
Feng Yuanjia opened his arms and hugged Shen Sui'an, "Sui Sui, I finally see you."
"Why did you come to Suzhou without sending anyone to tell me?" Shen Suian was pleasantly surprised. Looking at her best friend who had obviously grown taller after more than two years, she had a bright smile in her eyes.
"There was no time to send anyone, so my mother sent me away in a hurry." Feng Yuanjia said.
"Fortunately, there are many merchant ships coming to Suzhou now, which can provide me with protection."
Shen Sui'an frowned, "What happened?"
Feng Yuanjia: "I'm here to see Lu Yuan, no, the Regent, Sui Sui. I need his help with something."
"Okay, he went out to sea for training today. I'll ask someone to invite him back. It may take some time." Shen Sui'an agreed immediately without asking Feng Yuanjia the reason.
"Okay, okay." Feng Yuanjia drank two glasses of water before he recovered his breath.
"Sui Sui, my father is going to rebel!"
"!" Shen Suian almost choked on the tea in his mouth.
Ban Jian immediately sent all the maids at the door away and stood guard outside to prevent anyone from approaching.
"Yuanjia, what did you say?" Shen Suian put down the teacup and calmed himself down.
Feng Yuanjia said, "I'll tell you slowly..."
The Prince of Zhennan had wanted to rebel since the time of the previous emperor, but the previous emperor was on guard against him at that time and used both kindness and severity, so he had no reason to rebel.
But after Feng Chuankai ascended the throne, he did not think about appeasing the vassal kings. First, he wanted to assassinate the King of Zhenbei, and then secretly wanted to take back the military power of the King of Zhennan.
This was clearly an attempt to force Prince Zhennan to speed up his rebellion.
After Prince Zhennan heard about the disintegration of the merchant ship, he felt that the time had come.
"He asked my uncle to lead the Ye family army to hold back the Zhenbei King. Does he think my mother and the Ye family are stupid? The Ye family has 50,000 troops to hold back the Zhenbei King's 200,000 troops."
"It's obvious that they want the Ye family army to die. He kills two birds with one stone. He can not only deal with the Ye family army, but also delay the King of Zhenbei."
"He should attack the capital directly. That little fool Feng Chuankai is no match for him. He must give up the throne."
"All the benefits belong to him, and he is even thinking of raising Feng Shenghua to deal with my brother."
Feng Yuanjia said this angrily and drank another cup of tea.
"..." Shen Suian was speechless for a long time.
She knew that Prince Zhennan had always been on guard against the princess and the Ye family, but she didn't expect that he would choose to sacrifice the entire Ye family for her.
"My mother asked me to find the regent and ask him to be the middleman. We don't want to be enemies with the King of Zhenbei, nor do we want to rebel. We want to join forces with the King of Zhenbei." Feng Yuanjia said.
"Team up with King Zhenbei... to kill your father?" Shen Sui'an asked in a low voice.
Feng Yuanjia gave her a meaningful look and said, "You don't have to die, but you have to take over the military power."
"Anyway, Chunhua is already able to stand on his own."
Shen Sui'an coughed twice and said, "Wait for the prince to come back and hear what he has to say."
Feng Yuanjia sighed, "Now that I'm here with you, I don't have to worry so much anymore."
"Does Prince Zhennan know that you have come to Suzhou?" Shen Suian asked.
"I don't know, my mother can definitely fool him. Now he is only thinking about how to coax my mother to agree to the Ye family sending troops, and he has no time to pay attention to me." Feng Yuanjia said.
