Both worlds are like dreams

Chapter 396 The War Horse Belongs

Gu Qinglan and Mo Ruilin wanted to plead for mercy, but Xuehuang stopped them with her eyes.

The situation in the court today is very clear. Even though Xue Huang is the princess of Beiyuan, she still has the amulet of Princess Dongchu on her, so no one in Beiling can kill her.

Therefore, Shen Congfeng's purpose was just to suppress Mo Ruilin's faction by confirming her identity, but Xue Huang insisted that Gu Qinglan and the others were not aware of this, and Shen Congfeng could do nothing about them.

So Xue Huang was willing to admit all the charges. After all, it was just imprisonment, not a big deal.

And as long as Dong Chu comes forward to act as a guarantor, the imprisonment may not be too long.

"Your Majesty, Xue Huang has another request. I hope Your Majesty will agree to it."

"You said."

"The hundred war horses that Dongchu gave to Xuehuang as a dowry have recently arrived in Beiling. Xuehuang would like to ask His Majesty to agree to hand over these hundred war horses to King Hanxi for training."

As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately aroused strong opposition from Shen Congfeng.

"Beiling strictly forbids court officials from raising war horses. Even if it is the princess's dowry, it should be confiscated."

"Yes!" Xue Huang said innocently, "It was confiscated."

"Since it is confiscated, then it should be decided by Your Majesty."

"Isn't this a request to your majesty?"

Shen Congfeng's mouth twitched, and he looked at Emperor Ling, "Your Majesty, please make a decision!"

Xue Huang said, "Your Majesty, this warhorse was given as a dowry by Dong Chu. Xue Huang naturally cannot take it as her own property. She is willing to confiscate it in full. However, regarding the fate of the warhorse, Xue Huang should have the right to make some small requests, right? King Han Xi is my husband, and he is also the general of the army guarding the northern border. It is reasonable for him to tame the warhorse."

"The north is bitterly cold, and it's hard for war horses to survive. If we take them to the north, how can they survive?" Shen Congfeng said coldly.

"Then General Shen underestimated the war horses of Dongchu. They can adapt to any environment. Especially the dowry that Dongchu chose for me this time, they are good at being raised in bitter and cold places, so the northern border is the best choice."

Shen Congfeng's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he stared at Xue Huang.

Compared to his anger, a smile appeared on Mo Yunchen's face, and the look he gave Xue Huang seemed meaningful.

Xue Huang ignored him and looked at Emperor Ling, "What do you think, Your Majesty?"

Mo Ruilin also spoke up, "Father, I think what Princess Changle said makes sense. War horses are hard to come by. King Hanxi has been stationed in the northern border for many years. Letting him raise them in the northern border will not only improve the strength of our army, but also better resist foreign races and stabilize the northern border."

Emperor Ling nodded, "It's settled now. Mo Qing will take over."

"Your Majesty!" Shen Congfeng spoke again, "Among Dongchu's betrothal gifts, there are still a hundred war horses left. I beg Your Majesty to let me train them."

“Cough, cough, cough…” Emperor Ling interrupted him again with a heart-wrenching cough. “Then let’s wait until the hundred horses arrive. Dong Chu has sent a message that these hundred war horses are carefully selected and walk slowly… cough, cough, cough, cough… Let’s withdraw from the court…”

Mo Ruilin helped Emperor Ling to leave first, leaving Shen Congfeng with angry cheeks twitching.

Another row of eunuchs came out from behind, and the one in the lead said politely, "Princess Changle, please move to Changqing Palace."

Duke Jingguo walked up to her and said, "Eunuch, can you let me have a few words with Princess Changle?"

"Please come in, Duke." The man stepped aside.

Xue Huang looked at the kind face of Duke Jingguo and smiled slightly, "Grandpa, don't worry about me."

"Take good care of yourself."
