The true and false lady's heart is waiting for the lady

Murong Xihe was carried back to the room to rest and slept soundly.

At this time, the butler came in with a set of clean clothes. He did not go into the bedroom, but put the clothes down in the hall outside. "General, the clothes are ready. Go take a shower and change into clean clothes first! It's easy to catch a cold in spring!"

"Thank you for your help!" Lu Xingzhi came out of the bedroom and thanked the old butler.

The old butler looked at Lu Xingzhi and explained kindly, "The Marquis is back today, but he has already gone to bed. The general's room is next door. There is some ginger soup in the kitchen. After the general drinks it, he should finish his work early and rest!"

He cooked so much ginger soup, and none of it was wasted, as it was all drunk by these people.

"Thank you butler."

Lu Xingzhi thanked him again, and the old butler nodded and turned to leave.

After watching the old housekeeper leave, Lu Xingzhi turned around and looked at Murong Xihe in the room. "You said it, since you are willing to go with me, I will not let you leave!"

After reading it, he turned around and left Murong Xihe's room, returned to his own room, took a shower and changed into clean clothes.

But after changing into clean clothes, he came to Murong Xihe's room, lit a lamp, and sat beside the bed to watch over her.

Staring at her sleeping face, I slowly held her hand.

"It's been eight years, and I finally remembered you!" Lu Xingzhi felt that Murong Xihe was very familiar the last time he saw her, but he just couldn't remember her. Since he was injured last time, he has recovered his past memories. "In my heart, the person I have always loved is you, Murong Xihe, no one else!"

He reached out and stroked Murong Xihe's face, which was slightly red from drinking.

"You can't drink, but you drank so much. You'll have a headache tomorrow!" He vaguely remembered that Murong Xi had a very low alcohol tolerance and his face would turn red as soon as he drank.

Although it hurts, she drank because of herself, thinking she was in love with someone else.

"Lu Xingzhi...?"

Lu Xingzhi raised his eyebrows, smiled and whispered, "I'm here?"

"Are you in love with someone else?"

Hearing this, Lu Xingzhi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and responded: "I didn't."

"You did! You did!"

"I regret arguing with you, I regret losing my temper, I don't want to lose you!"

Just like that, he just sat quietly aside, watching over Murong Xihe.

Fortunately, I still came and heard her true thoughts. I sighed helplessly: "Silly girl, Miss Liu is my savior. She is a doctor. She has someone she likes, not me!"

Doctor Liu joined Western Chu as a soldier after he lost his memory. He was injured in a war and was rescued by Doctor Liu.

One night, listening to her talking in her sleep, Murong Xihe kept calling Lu Xingzhi's name.

Second day

The rain is still falling, sometimes heavy, sometimes light, and there is no sign of stopping.

Everything comes back to life in spring, and the rain is really good for farmers.

With the rain, this year's harvest will definitely be very good.

Shen Yunhe got up early and went to the study to handle official business. Early in the morning, Tian Yi and several generals came to the house to discuss important matters with Shen Yunhe.

In the study.

"It has been raining for several days in a row. We have notified the government to keep an eye on the dam. The people living near the dam have been safely transferred to the shelter. The situation in Yamada is not bad. The water flow has been cleared, and the probability of flooding is still relatively small. However, we are also keeping an eye on the rain!"

Tian Yi reported to Shen Yunhe the precautions for the continuous rain for several days.

Gu Man and several officials from the yamen were there.

"Don't worry, my Lord. Madam has already suggested that we prepare in advance before the rain."

At this time, County Magistrate Lin spoke to Shen Yunhe.

Shen Yunhe looked at the county magistrate, and his brows relaxed a lot when he mentioned his wife.

"Yes, my sister-in-law has given General An a lot of advice these days and has helped us a lot."

Gu Man also echoed and explained hurriedly.

Suddenly he raised his hand, touched his head and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law is just like you, preparing for a rainy day!"

Shen Yunhe was very happy when he saw Gu Man's evaluation of Wei Shengci.

But his face showed that he was still trying hard to control his emotions.

"Indeed, you are worthy of being the Madam!" At this time, a chief official spoke in praise.

The corners of Shen Yunhe's mouth could not help but rise slightly, his face full of pride. The smile soon subsided, and he always showed indifference and seriousness to the people under his command.

Tian Yi stood by and saw clearly that he was sober, but he didn't say anything.

"Madam is from the Sixth Academy, so she is not inferior to us men in strategy! We all come from fighting backgrounds, and although Madam is a woman, she is proficient in all kinds of talents, so she may not be worse than us in marching and fighting!"

When Tian Yi finished saying this, Shen Yunhe looked at Tian Yi, and due to the pressure of the gaze, he could only shut up obediently.

"Madam, you have the Marquis by your side, so you don't need to worry about the war!" The county magistrate also noticed Shen Yunhe's expression and immediately spoke to ease the awkwardness.

Shen Yunhe suddenly waved his hand and said, "Madam, you have things you want to do. Let us men take care of the march and the battle!"

"My Lord, do you think that women are not good enough?" Tian Yi suddenly set a trap for Shen Yunhe. The next second, Shen Yunhe's eyes immediately turned to him. Under everyone's gaze, he couldn't say anything. "Once in the military camp, regardless of gender, you can only follow military regulations. I look down on those who are not even as good as women. What do you think, military advisor?"

Tian Yi didn't dare to speak.

Shen Yunhe added: "Speaking of women fighting, I have something to say!"

Shen Yunhe became serious, and everyone stopped joking and sat down to listen carefully.

"Now, Your Highness has proposed that women can take the imperial examination to enter the court and participate in politics, and they can also sign up to join the army! It is not easy for women to march and fight in wars. What do you think?"

Everyone looks at me and I look at you.

County Magistrate Lin naturally knew nothing about war, so he chose to remain silent.

Xie Daowen on the side asked, "According to what the Marquis said, how should we deal with it?"

Shen Yunhe was just asking for their opinions, but he had already made a decision in his mind. He slowly said, "It is inevitable that women will join the army in the future, and we in the southern border must also prepare for future recruitment. The army should also set up accommodation for women of the same rank. Once they enter the barracks, they will naturally have to live with the soldiers. The difference in life is huge, and this needs to be adapted in advance."

When Shen Yunhe asked the question, everyone was silent.

Although she didn't know how to answer, she knew in her heart that Beiyong was no longer the same as before. The status of women was slowly changing, and Shen Yunhe also had to be the first person for Nangong Moxu.

The Southern Territory is going to start implementing it, which means it agrees with Nangong Moxu's decision. He has hundreds of thousands of soldiers under his command, and no one dares to object.

Although Tian Yi did not object, he did not dare to make any comments at this time.

County Magistrate Lin and Chief Clerk Fei looked at each other in bewilderment.

At this time, Gu Man felt that the atmosphere was not right.

"We understand what you mean, sir, but we are at a critical juncture right now. Should we put the issue of women joining the army aside for now?" Xie Daowen saw that no one was talking, so he spoke first. "I have no problem with your policy, sir, but sir, our situation is really difficult. If we want to start preparing for women to join the army, our military pay has really reached the bottom, and now the barbarians are eyeing the southern border covetously. This...!"

Shen Yunhe looked at everyone, and they all looked embarrassed.

"Everyone, the emperor has passed away for several months. Because the students opposed the reforms implemented by His Highness, His Highness has no plan to ascend the throne! If we don't take the lead, what kind of situation will Beiyong be in in the future? The country cannot be without a king for a day. The court is still full of old ministers. They are old, and many children from poor families need to wait for the imperial examination in the spring! The court also needs fresh talents to enter."

"Students are the future pillars of a country. They oppose such reforms because they feel their own interests are in jeopardy. But they have never considered the interests and freedom of women, who have been oppressed for many years. We protect our homeland not for the inheritance of those arrogant and proud children of wealthy families, but for every citizen to live a prosperous and worry-free life. Women are regarded as a burden in our eyes, but we have never given them a chance to prove their usefulness!"

Shen Yunhe considered the problem from the perspective of Beiyong’s current situation.

"What the Marquis said makes sense, but why must our southern border go first?"

Although County Magistrate Lin approved of this approach, he did have difficulties.

"It's not that we are against such reforms. It's just that the southern border has been ravaged by wars and the conscription is constant. The money has already run out due to the constant reconstruction of the destroyed homes. It's really hard to make ends meet!"
