I am the stepmother of my son, and the little villain has changed into a little cotton-padded jacket

Hearing the emperor's question, Mu Ting looked up at him, his expression making it impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.

Mu Ting stepped forward, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, we are now at war. If we change the commander hastily, it will shake the morale of the army and the soldiers of Nansheng. It is really not good for our army. Please think twice. Besides, General Xiao's life and death are uncertain, and he has a widowed wife and children in the capital. If something unexpected happens on the way back, it will not be good for your reputation."

Hearing what Mu Ting said, the emperor was slightly stunned. He really didn't expect that Mu Ting would actually speak up for Wen Shutang and Xiao Yizhuo. A hint of viciousness flashed in his eyes.

The emperor clenched his hands into fists behind his back and swept his sharp eyes over everyone present. He did not want to give up such a good opportunity.

After all, Xiao Yizhuo is not often this weak. If he doesn't take this opportunity to eliminate Xiao Yizhuo, there's no telling when this person will do something bad to him.

The emperor's eyes darkened, and he said in a cold voice: "I have naturally thought of your concerns, but General Xiao is now seriously injured. If he does not return to Beijing for treatment as soon as possible, he may get into an accident. I don't want to see such an outcome. My dear ministers, please don't stop me. In my opinion, I will replace the generals and order others to rush to the border and take over the battlefield. Let General Xiao come back to treat his injuries. I will send someone to pick him up and will not let General Xiao get hurt on the way back to Beijing."

After hearing what the emperor said, everyone's faces suddenly changed expressions and their thoughts were also different.

Zhao Linhe looked at the emperor in disbelief. He couldn't believe that the emperor he had always served was such a cold-blooded and heartless person.

The collapse of his faith made Zhao Linhe look very ugly, and the doubts raised by Mr. Yuan became even more profound at this moment.

He clenched his fists, walked forward, knelt on the ground and saluted: "Your Majesty, this method is absolutely not allowed. Please think twice!"

Mu Ting had not expected the emperor to be so resolute. With a faint light flashing in his eyes, he walked forward and knelt beside Zhao Linhe and said coldly, "Your Majesty, this method really won't work. Please take back your order."

Seeing that the two men performed such a grand ceremony just to plead for Xiao Yizhuo, the emperor's face turned ugly.

He pursed his lips and said nothing, looking as if he didn't want to respond to the two of them.

Seeing this, Zhao Sixian snorted and walked forward to pretend to kneel before the emperor: "Your Majesty was blinded by the treacherous villain for a while, and it is possible that you were confused for a while. I beg Your Majesty to stay away from villains and be close to wise ministers, and don't lose all the capable generals."

Seeing that Zhao Sixian was about to kneel, the emperor quickly stepped forward and held him up: "Old sir, what are you doing? Please stand up quickly."

Zhao Sixian didn't really want to kneel down, he just wanted to pretend to do so for the emperor to see. Now, with the emperor's support, he simply stood up.

Seeing that all three people were pleading for Xiao Yizhuo, the emperor felt even more uncomfortable, but he still gritted his teeth and refused to give in. He still wanted to take this opportunity to wipe out Xiao Yizhuo's entire family.

Just as the situation inside was at a stalemate, Wen Shutang was getting tired of waiting at the door.

She had already guessed what the emperor was thinking now, which was nothing more than destroying the bridge after crossing it. He wanted to take advantage of Xiao Yizhuo's weakness to wipe out their entire family.

It was a nice thought, but Wen Shutang snorted in his heart.

When she came, she had asked Mu Bai, who was proficient in medicine, to go ahead to find Xiao Yizhuo. Although Mu Bai was proficient in medicine, his lightness skills were not bad among the shadow guards. With his strength, it would probably take a few days for him to reach Xiao Yizhuo.

Although Xiao Yizhuo cannot be completely cured, it can at least relieve his pain.

Wen Shutang was anxious. She had never worried about someone like this before.

Just as she was standing outside the door thinking, a group of people suddenly came from a distance.

The white-haired old man at the head of the group was surrounded by the crowd and walked over. Only when he got closer could Wen Shutang see the old man's appearance clearly.

His square face looked very dignified and serious when he frowned, with a hint of righteousness between his brows.

When Xiao Dezi, who was standing by, saw the old man, he was so scared that his legs almost went weak and he fell to the ground.

He rolled over and crawled to the old man and bowed deeply: "Old Master! Your servant greets you! Why are you here at this time?"

Mu Jun waved his hand without even glancing at him: "I am here to discuss matters with the Emperor."

As he said this, he was about to walk into the imperial study. Xiao Dezi didn't dare to stop him at all, and even forgot to report to him.

When passing by Wen Shutang, Mu Jun turned his head to look at her and raised his eyebrows: "You little kid, you don't seem to be afraid of seeing me?"

Wen Shutang nodded slightly: "Junior greets the old master."

Seeing Wen Shutang so calm, Mu Jun's eyes flashed with interest. He had been upright all his life, and the murderous aura was engraved in his bones. Anyone who saw him would inevitably show a look of fear, especially children and women, who would retreat away from him.

It's rare to see someone as calm as the woman in front of me.

"You are a man of good manners, indeed."

Wen Shutang's expression remained unchanged: "The old Grand Tutor has been fair and honest all his life, and he is full of righteousness. I admire him so much that I don't know how to be afraid of him. Besides, it's those villains that we should be afraid of."

Hearing what Wen Shutang said, Mu Jun was slightly stunned, and then laughed heartily.

"Hahahahaha, you are really interesting when you talk, not bad, not bad. If everyone is as sensible as you, the world will be peaceful. By the way, what are you doing here?"

"Replying to the old master, Xiao Yizhuo is my husband. Rumor has it that he is seriously injured. I want to ask him about it." Wen Shutang answered truthfully.

Hearing this, Mu Jun nodded in understanding: "So you are the boy's wife, so that's why I came here today. Then you can come in with me, and listen to what this matter is all about."

Wen Shutang's eyes lit up: "Okay, thank you, old master."

With Mu Jun's order, Xiao Dezi no longer dared to stop Wen Shutang and allowed the two of them to enter the imperial study together.

Walking into the hall, the emperor saw Mu Jun with an indifferent expression at a glance. His eyes fell on Wen Shutang who entered with Mu Jun. His expression changed slightly and he suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

Seeing Mu Jun coming, everyone respectfully called him by his surname, Li.

Zhao Sixian, on the other hand, waved his hand excitedly: "Hey! Old man, you look really strong."

Hearing his voice, Mu Jun turned his head and looked at him, with a hint of smile in his eyes.

"Isn't it the same for you, old man? Well, now we have something important to discuss. Let's talk about the past when we get back."

After saying that, he turned to look at the emperor and said in a calm voice: "Your Majesty, I think that we absolutely cannot change the commander now."

When the emperor heard what he said, his expression froze. He didn't expect that so many people would speak for Xiao Yizhuo, even Mu Jun stood up.
