"Why is Your Majesty here?" Concubine Wang hurried forward to pay her respects, and Emperor Yuan immediately helped her up.

"Can't I come to see my beloved concubine?"

"Of course, Zhucui, go make a pot of tea." Concubine Wang quickly ordered someone to make tea while she massaged the emperor's temples. "The emperor doesn't look well, but is there anything troubling him? If it's a matter of the court, then there's no need to talk about it," she said with a worried tone.

"What's the matter with the court? You know Xiao Jue, the prince of the Xiao Palace, right?"

"I know. It's the one the emperor granted marriage to some time ago."

"I heard that he has a crush on someone, the niece of the concubine of the royal palace. Xiao Jue seems to be much happier these days because of this woman's return. But Yaoyao, you know, the Xiaoxiang War may break out at any time. I have to send Xiao Jue, only because he is very familiar with the terrain there. I have to admit that I really don't want him to go, and I don't want to let old Su go even more, but I want to win the war." Emperor Yuan closed his eyes and spoke, as if he was whispering

Wang Shiyao was thinking in her heart that it was impossible for such a good thing to happen, but she said, "Your Majesty, why should you worry? Even if Prince Xiao goes this time, he will definitely go with the imperial edict. Wouldn't it be more reassuring to send someone to follow him? As for the woman he likes, since she is back, let her come to the palace more often to play with Qing'er, so that she won't be left without a playmate in Beijing."

"That's fine. This way, we won't be afraid of that kid Xiao Jue anymore."

"Your Majesty could actually issue an order to allow the prince's fiancée to go with him. Oh, I forgot that she is sick and weak. What if something happens on the way? I'm afraid the old general will have to kill the prince. Forget it, I have good intentions."

"Very good, very good, hahahaha, my beloved concubine is worthy of being my confidant, come on, issue an order......"

"What did you say? Why let Guaiguai go with us? She is so weak and can only bear it. No, I don't agree. What about the old general?"

"Old Madam, the old general has already gone to the palace after hearing the news. Even the eldest and third masters have gone as well."

"This is really going to kill me!" The old lady almost fainted

"Mother, mother"

"Madam," the old general hurried forward to support his wife, so that she would not fall.

"How about it?"

"Sit down first and have some tea"

"What kind of tea do you want? I don't feel like drinking it. Tell me, both of you." The old lady pointed at her two sons and asked.

"Mother, the Emperor used the excuse that father refused the Crown Prince to go to war last time and forced it back."

"What...what excuse?"

"Develop feelings" The third brother lowered his head so low that he almost crawled into the ground. He had just received an imperial decree to close Xue Yuan's case in the Dali Temple. The emperor clearly wanted to save Xue Yuan's life. Humph, since the Dali Temple is under the control of the emperor, there is nothing wrong with it. Let's see how the emperor comforts the assistant minister of the Ministry of War who is full of fatherly love. He really disregarded the law. If the root is rotten, it will be a matter of time before the surface is affected.

"I...I don't want to. This is really cutting my flesh. No..."

"Grandma, Jiu'er is here to see you. What's wrong?" Wen Jiu rushed over as soon as he received the imperial edict, fearing that his grandmother would not be able to bear it.

"My poor dear, I will send him to the northwest right now."

"Grandma, are you mad at me for following Xiao Jue to Xiaoxiang? Don't worry, Grandma won't go anywhere. I heard that there are abundant fruits there. I'll get you some and have someone send them back, okay? I'm going to travel and will definitely stay away from the military camp."

"Silly child, it won't be that easy. If they want you to go, there must be someone else planting it. You don't understand these things, how can I rest assured? There is no way you can go sightseeing on the battlefield. Since you accepted the order, you can only be tied to the prince."

"Don't worry, grandma. I believe that Master Xiao will protect me. Otherwise, you will never let him go. I will hide and keep myself safe from any harm." Wen Jiu could only comfort the old lady against her conscience. There would be no deserters on the battlefield, and she was a special forces soldier, so there would be no deserters. She just hoped that the war would end early this time so that she could get their business done sooner.

"Old General, Old Lady, Prince Xiao is here."

"Humph, let him get in!" The old general was really angry.

"Grandfather, Grandmother"

"Hmph, I don't deserve it. Before you get married, you should call me old general. I'm afraid that if you call me grandfather, my family will be wiped out by you."

Xiao Jue smiled and said, "What are you angry about, old general?"

"Was it in your calculation that Jiu'er went with you?" The old general swung his hand and smashed the cup on Xiao Jue's forehead. He did not dodge and blood flowed. The old general was very surprised that he did not dodge. This also proved indirectly that he is very shrewd and not a simple person. Can his granddaughter's mind outsmart him?

It is said that the Emperor decided to issue the decree only after he arrived at Concubine Wang's palace. He was very sure that Concubine Wang was definitely not Xiao Jue's woman. In that case, how meticulous must he be to be so precise? Why did he bring Jiuer with him?

"You two come to my study later and bandage him first." The old general walked towards the study angrily, and Wen Jiu took Xiao Jue to bandage him.

"Is this the good idea you came up with?"

"If you don't get the Emperor's order to let you go, no matter what excuses you make, they won't work. It may work for a short time, but if it lasts for a long time, you will be exposed. So it is only natural that he must personally order us to go."

"Oh, that means I have to pretend to be sick for two more days."

"Smart, don't you have anything to ask?"

"What are you asking? Haven't you arranged everything? Since you asked me to go, I don't want to bother thinking about it for now. Just make the arrangements." Wen Jiu's indifferent look was so different from what Qing Long said? Why didn't she ask Bai Miaomiao?

"knock knock"

"Come in!"

"Grandfather, the old general"

"Sit down." The old general looked at the two of them and couldn't help sighing. "Ah, I don't know whether it is right or wrong to let you get engaged. Why didn't the prince tell me clearly that he had someone he liked? Now the whole capital is laughing at Jiuer."

"Grandfather, ridicule is also the true form of their jealousy. Reputation is not something you can eat. What's more, I am open-minded and forgetful. Gossip can't hurt me at all. As for the person the prince likes, I have known it for a long time. It's nothing. I believe that the prince will treat our future well, right, prince?"

"Yes, old general, don't worry, I won't let her down,"

"Then can you explain to me why you took her away?"

"Grandfather, it was my request. This capital is full of dangers. I don't want to have anything to do with those girls from the boudoir. They spend all day on those trivial matters. You want to harm me, and I want to be on guard against you."

"to be honest"

"Fu Yichen is in Xiaoxiang, I want to go there"

“He’s just there.”

"He is the prince's man," Wen Jiu said truthfully

"Since he is the prince's man, why are you going there? As the prince's man, he has no security risks."

"Grandfather, I have something to ask Fu Yichen. Please let me go. Now the imperial decree has been issued. I have no choice but to go."

"Okay, you always act first and report later." The old general was inevitably angry. He slammed the table with a bang, which scared the two silent people. He warmed the wine and looked at it, thinking that if he didn't cry today, he might not be able to get over this hurdle.
