Palace Concubine Policy: Invincible Queen

Chapter 802 Soldiers Approaching the City 23
Ouyang Zhechu suddenly looked up at Dong Xiaowan, frowned and asked, "Why?! Why do you trust me so much?"

"Because the sadness in your eyes makes my heart hurt. I know the pain of losing a loved one. I have also lost two relatives who are not related by blood. So I decided to believe you!" Dong Xiaowan looked at Ouyang Zhechu sincerely .

Ouyang Zhechu felt something stuck in his throat, he knelt down and said, "I must do my best. But I have one condition."

"Tell me! As long as I can do it, I will promise you!"

"I hope the empress can spare my family's life, and leave the rest to my disposal." Ouyang Zhe said with a kowtow.

"Okay! I promise you that the crime will not be as serious as your family members. But your father and your eldest brother are exempt from capital punishment, but living crimes are hard to forgive. Do you understand?"

"The guilty minister knows. The guilty minister has thanked the empress for her kindness."

"Can you tell me about your plan now?"

Ouyang Zhechu nodded and said: "I know that my elder brother is suspicious by nature. That's why I dare not attack the city rashly today. But the empress's 'empty city plan' can't resist for a few days. Tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow at the latest, he will think about it." Through the reason..."

Dong Xiaowan nodded slightly and said: "This palace knows. This palace is just using this trick to delay the time. In this way, there will be enough time for Prince Xiang to turn around and come to rescue."

"So that's what your mother intended." Ouyang Zhechu suddenly realized.He paused, and then said: "Since my eldest brother got this empty city plan today, we will use it again tomorrow. Tomorrow we will open the east, west, and north gates, and only the south gate will be closed tightly. There are heavy troops at the gate. My elder brother must not have figured out the reason so quickly. He will definitely order to attack the south gate. At that time, we will hit his army hard. In this way, he will no longer dare to act rashly. Because he will think that there are heavy troops in the capital Keep guard. We can buy enough time for Prince Xiang to turn around and serve as King.”

Dong Xiaowan was taken aback, this was originally a strategy in her mind, but Ouyang Zhechu unexpectedly coincided with her.Fortunately, King Lu Ling didn't let him be the commander-in-chief, otherwise the capital would be conquered in an instant. "Okay! Let's follow the second son's plan. It's getting late now, second son, please rest first."

"Thank you, empress." Ouyang Zhechu said and retreated.
