As a concubine living in the palace, although she was considered fresh and indifferent before, she must have some desire for power due to the influence of the environment. Therefore, she also hoped that she could be the queen mother and her son could be the emperor. In that case, their mother and son's life in this harem will be much better, and they will not be bullied or despised by others.

However, when this desire for power is related to the life of her son, Li Fei did not hesitate to choose her son. She would rather continue to live the same life as before, rather than be the queen mother and the emperor. She didn't want to see her son go to the front line and take risks. She was just such a son, and she couldn't bear it.

However, when the Eighth Prince heard what his mother said, he shook his head and said: "This can't work. I'm already in the hall, in front of many ministers, and promised Princess Qi. How can I go back at this time?"

The eighth prince was naturally afraid and nervous in his heart. He was also reluctant to part with his mother. The current rebel army is not the previous rebel army. Once he goes to the front line, he is likely to be defeated and captured like the generals before. .

However, now that the choice has been made, the eighth prince does not intend to regret it. Originally, he should have been completely missed from the throne. Now, because of Princess Qi, he has an opportunity. He does not want to miss this opportunity. He thinks Need to fight.

"You can go to Princess Qi and say that you have to give up fighting for the throne? If others want to gossip, let them go." Li Fei said, she would rather listen to those gossips than see her son take risks. What's more, it's not that she has not heard gossips in the palace over the years, and that she can survive in the palace. There is no problem with her mentality in this respect, and she will not care about those gossips.

"It really can't, you just said that I am sick, you have to stay and take care of me." Li Fei said, for the safety of her son, Li Fei is willing to lie.

The Eighth Prince saw that his mother was so worried about him, he was amused and moved. If possible, he certainly hoped to stay and stay with his mother. However, he knew that he had to fight this time for himself and In the future of his mother's life, he has to fight this time, even if it is really dangerous, he can't shrink back.

"Mother, don't worry, even if I go to the front line, nothing will happen. I am the prince. It is not my turn to fight and kill the enemy. I will at most command and command in the camp. What's the matter?" The Eighth Prince comforted his mother.

"That's not safe either." Li Fei shook her head and said: "I have heard that the camps where the troops were stationed before were all given by the rebels. Even if you stay in the camp and don't go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, you Not safe, who knows if those rebels will come again."

Li Fei’s worries are obviously not unreasonable. Before the strength of the rebels was not so strong, they were able to bypass the frontline army and end the lair of the imperial army. Now, after a big victory, the strength of the rebels is even greater. It's too strong, if we had another operation to end the lair, the court army would definitely be overwhelmed.

"It's okay. Before, they were too careless and underestimated the enemy, so they would be like that. Don't worry, I will not underestimate the enemy, and nothing will happen." The Eighth Prince comforted.

In fact, the eight princes did not know what to say. If they said that their imperial army did not underestimate the enemy, they would still be confident of defeating the rebels. However, now that the strength of the rebels is stronger, their side is even weaker. Even if it is not underestimating the enemy, it may not be able to beat them.

However, with such worries, the Eighth Prince obviously would not talk to his mother. His mother was already very worried about him, and he couldn't talk about the things that made her more worried.

However, Li Fei was not persuaded by the Eighth Prince, and she still persuaded the Eighth Prince to give up the fight with a worried look.

At this moment, someone came to report, and Princess Qi came.

Li Fei and the Eighth Princes were taken aback for a moment. They didn’t know what Princess Qi was doing at this time. However, Princess Qi’s current identity was not ordinary after all. Li Fei and the Eighth Princes did not dare to neglect, and they hurriedly invited Princess Qi to come in. , Especially Li Fei, was already thinking about how to talk to Princess Qi about the eighth prince.

"Princess Qi is here just right. Later, I will tell her that I am sick and I hope you will stay and take care of it." Li Fei said.

"Mother, how can this be? This is not to deceive Princess Qi." The Eighth Prince was a little dissatisfied.

"It's better to deceive if you deceive. It's better than you go on the battlefield to take risks. Afterwards, I will apologize to Princess Qi." Li Fei said.

"No, I don't agree." The Eighth Prince said.

What else did Li Fei want to say. At this time, Princess Qi had already walked in under the guidance of her servants, and Li Fei couldn't say anything more.

"Welcome your Royal Highness Princess Qi." Li Fei and the Eighth Prince hurriedly saluted.

Ordinarily, in this palace, the identities of Li Fei and the eight princes are actually not lower than that of Princess Qi. There is no need to be so polite to Princess Qi. However, Princess Qi is now the most powerful person in the entire palace. A person, not to mention Li Fei and the Eighth Prince, even other people, when they see her, they must respectfully salute her.

"Don't be so polite and get up." Princess Qi said. Then, she sat down beside Li Fei and said to Li Fei: "Yun'er is about to go to the battlefield. My sister won't blame me for sending him to the battlefield, right? "

"I'm just about to talk about this." Seeing that Princess Qi took the initiative to talk about this matter, Li Fei quickly said: "Sister, I feel a little sick recently. I hope Yun'er can stay and take care of me, over there on the battlefield. I'm really embarrassed not to go."

"Mother!" the Eighth Prince shouted.

However, Li Fei just gave him a glance and ignored him. She continued to look at Princess Qi and said, "I know, it’s not appropriate to do this, but I’m just such a son. I don’t want him to take risks. I feel a little uncomfortable, so let him stay. As for the battle for the throne, we also gave up."

"Is this my sister's meaning, or Yun'er's meaning?" Princess Qi asked.

"I meant it." Li Fei said, "However, Yun'er also agrees."

"I don't agree!" The Eighth Prince did not follow his mother, but immediately retorted: "I don't want to give up, I want to go to the battlefield!"

"What nonsense!" Li Fei reprimanded: "That's all for this matter!"

"No, I don't agree!" The Eighth Prince insisted.
