I am happy to be a mother in a famine year, I have a system to farm the land

But for some reason, he always felt that something was wrong, and even felt faintly uneasy.

Ever since Princess Chaoyang came to find him, Sima Lian felt that he was uneasy day and night.

The quarrels among the civil servants and generals in the court became more and more intense, but the emperor still did not express his position, which also made Sima Lian feel uncertain.

Today the emperor punished Vice General Liu in public, which can be regarded as making his position clear.

But when Sima Lian thought about today's events, he felt that Vice General Liu seemed to be more aggressive than before.

Sima Lian pondered for a long time, but still had no idea, and his mood became irritable.

"Sir, Madam said she has something to discuss with you?"

Sima Lian's personal entourage came in from outside the door, carefully observing Sima Lian's expression, and finally conveyed Mrs. Sima's intention.

Sima Lian threw down the pen in his hand irritably and stared at his entourage with some dissatisfaction.

"Didn't you see I was busy?"

Although the entourage was worried, thinking of Mrs. Sima's temper, they could only wait patiently.

"Master, Madam's place..."

"There are ongoing wars on the border, and the entire court is on standby. I don't have time to go to the backyard. Don't come to me about matters in the backyard. Just let my wife make the decision."

The entourage said something else, but looking at Sima Lian's expression, he did not dare to speak again.

Seeing his entourage retreat, Sima Lian leaned back on his chair and closed his eyes.

With Vice General Liu's temper, it was impossible for him to be punished by the emperor like this.

Moreover, the situation in the court is currently unstable. The emperor's punishment of Vice General Liu is a suppression of the entire military general. It is impossible for Vice General Liu not to know this.

But Vice General Liu just bumped into His Majesty today, as if he really had no scruples.

Although Sima Lian was confused, he couldn't find anything unusual.

"Come on!"

The guard guarding the door felt nervous when he heard Sima Lian suddenly calling for someone, and hurriedly opened the door and left.

"grown ups."

The guard bowed his hands and saluted very respectfully.

"Send someone to the Liu Mansion to see if Vice General Liu will go out today."

The guard was stunned. Although he didn't know what Sima Lian was thinking, he still did as he was told.

In the backyard of Sima Mansion, Mrs. Sima was very angry when she heard that Sima Lian was busy in the study again.

She knew in her heart that Sima Lian was thinking about his former wife, but that person had been dead for decades, and Sima Lian was also very old.

The time she spent with him was much longer than the previous one, but Sima Lian still looked lukewarm.

The entourage looked at Mrs. Sima with a somewhat ugly expression, and felt very uneasy.

"Madam, the master has been busy with matters in the court these days. There is a war in the north and the court is in turmoil. The master cannot take care of the backyard, so he can only let the wife make the decision."

After all, the people around Sima Lian naturally know how to protect Sima Lian.

Sure enough, Mrs. Sima's face improved a lot when she heard what the attendant said.

"In that case, let me do my work with peace of mind. He doesn't have to worry about things in the backyard. I will let him have no worries."

The attendant immediately handed over his hand and said, "Madam is very righteous, and I will definitely not forget Madam's friendship."

Mrs. Sima received the compliments from her entourage, and then she waved her hands with satisfaction.

"Go and serve the master. If there is anything I can do to help, just ask so that the master doesn't have to worry."

The attendant couldn't help but sigh in his heart for his master's good luck. After thanking and complimenting him again, he returned to the study.

Sima Lian opened his eyes when he saw his entourage coming back.

"How is the lady?"

"My wife said that I don't need to worry about the backyard. She will take care of the backyard affairs. She also said that if there is anything I need help with, I don't have to worry about it. Just ask."

When Sima Lian heard this, his brows relaxed a little.

"Send the gems from the Western Regions that His Majesty gave you a few days ago to Madam, and say thank you to Madam for your consideration."

Mrs. Sima was naturally happy to receive the gift, and the resentment in her heart was gone.

The guard also returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion at midnight.

Sima Lian did not rest. When he saw the guard coming back, he put down the letter in his hand.

"How is it?"

"My lord, the Liu Mansion has not made any move. General Liu seems to be recuperating in the mansion. The door of the servants in the mansion is closed tightly. No one enters or leaves the Liu Mansion except the grocery store cook in the back kitchen."

Sima Lian frowned. Although he didn't find anything, he still found this matter strange.

"Go back."

In the Eighth Prince's Mansion, Princess Chaoyang held the note in her hand and couldn't help but narrow her eyes.

She received this note an hour ago, from the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Seeing that Sima Lian was suspicious of Vice General Liu, Princess Chaoyang decided to go and inquire in person.

"Princess, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion so late."

The maid serving Princess Chaoyang suddenly reminded her.

Princess Chaoyang paused in her movements and looked at the maid from the corner of her eye.

"What? Do you also want to be like Bing'er? Teach this princess how to do things?"

The maid immediately knelt down and begged for mercy, "This slave deserves death. Please punish me, the princess."

Seeing the expressionless look on the maid's face, Princess Chaoyang snorted coldly.

"Okay, get up. This princess has important things to do now, and I don't have the heart to care about you so much."

"In the future, remember what you should say and what you shouldn't say. Don't follow Bing'er's old path."

The maid felt timid and knelt on the ground to thank Princess Chaoyang.

"Thank you, Princess, for bypassing this slave this time."

There was a knock on the door of Sima Mansion. The concierge was not surprised at all when he saw that the person who came was Princess Chaoyang, and immediately invited him in.

"The princess's visit is a bit disappointing."

When Sima Lian saw Princess Chaoyang, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet her.

Princess Chaoyang waved her hand, "Prime Minister Sima, there is no need to do this. I am here to deal with Vice General Liu. What do you think, Prime Minister?"

Sima Lian personally poured tea for Princess Chaoyang and looked at the maid behind Princess Chaoyang.

Princess Chaoyang waved her hand, "Come out now."

"Now you and I are the only ones left in this room. Can Prime Minister Sima speak now?"

Sima Lian was very satisfied with Princess Chaoyang's actions.

"The princess must have heard about Vice Admiral Liu being punished by His Majesty today, right?"

Princess Chaoyang nodded, "I have heard that Vice General Liu should be punished for contradicting His Majesty."

Sima Lian shook his head, "With the current situation in the court, Vice General Liu should not do such a reckless thing."

Princess Chaoyang didn't care about this. In her eyes, Vice Admiral Liu was just a reckless man.

"Prime Minister Sima has worried too much. Now, although His Majesty has never explicitly wanted to negotiate a peace, he is still leaning towards civil servants. Civil servants have once again gained His Majesty's favor, and the generals will inevitably be suppressed."

"Those martial artists in the court are about to be humbled and made to look down upon. Prime Minister Sima, do you think they can still sit still?"
