Fu Junyan took Xuanyuan Xue and headed straight to Chengyan State.

He had already received an imperial edict to return to the court to report on his work. The border town was handed over to the deputy general Huo Qi to command, and no foreign enemy dared to invade.

Having not been home for six years, Mrs. Fu, upon receiving the urgent news, led people to wait in the yard early in the morning, anxiously hoping to see her grandson as soon as possible.

"Grandma, don't be anxious. The Marquis will definitely come to the palace to pay his respects first. Please go back to your room and have a rest." Hong Yan was considerate and comforted her softly.

"Alright, alright, leave me alone. Take Hong Er to take a nap first. He's rubbing his eyes."

Old Madam Fu's eyes were filled with pity. She rubbed his hair lovingly, loving her only great-grandson to her core.

Fu Yinghong was lying on Madam Fu's knees and yawning. When he heard her words, he raised his head, tried to open his eyes, and said in a childish voice:

"Grandma, I'm not sleepy. I'll stay with you and wait for father to come back."

"My dear baby." Mrs. Fu smiled and touched his chubby face.

The grandparents and grandchildren were having a great time together. Wu Er, who was standing aside, watched this scene. A strange light flashed in his eyes and his expression was a little complicated.

Madam Fu stretched her neck to look outside the door again and anxiously ordered, "Wu Er! Go and find out how long it will take for your young master to come back."

"Yes! Madam!" Wu Er took the order and quickened his pace to leave.

He was very happy about the young master's return. He had grown up with him since he was a child. This time when he was sent back from the border town, he stayed at the Fu family and did not go back. This was the first time he had been away from the young master for such a long time.

Royal study room.

Ling Cheyun flew into a rage, slamming the table and angrily saying, "Fu Junyan! You just had to do all this crap for me, right?!"

Fu Junyan kowtowed, then straightened up, expressionless, and said calmly: "Your Majesty, please calm down."

"Calm down! How can I calm down?" Ling Cheyun threw a large stack of memorials over. "These are all memorials impeaching you. I was thinking of your contribution to the pacification, and was about to confer an official title on you..."

"I don't need these." Fu Junyan's face was calm.

"Yes! You don't need these! I gave you face, right? I have to rush to give you merits, right?" Ling Yunche slammed the table angrily.

Ling Yunche really loves and hates this stubborn minister.

Let’s not talk about the old man of the Fu family’s meritorious service to the emperor during his lifetime. Just taking Fu Junyan as an example, he was his tutor when he was young. In addition to being the king and his subject, they were also close friends.

Ling Cheyun really hated him for not living up to his expectations!

With his current status, what kind of woman can't he get? Why must he kidnap a princess from another country?!

At first, he insisted on going to the battlefield, rushing forward recklessly as if he didn't care about his life, breaking into the enemy camp with the determination to die, and almost losing his life, all for a woman!

Fu Jun said: "I dare not."

"You don't dare! I think you are so bold! You have no respect for the law!"

Ling Cheyun was very angry. Eunuch Wang, who was standing beside him, quickly handed him a cup of tea: "Your Majesty, drink some tea to calm down. The portrait is ready. Do you need to present it now?"

"Send it up!"

He wanted to see who the other person was and who could have bewitched Fu Junyan to such an extent.

When Ling Cheyun saw Xuanyuan Xue's face in the portrait, he instantly understood.

It turns out it’s all for this face!

Ling Cheyun calmed down a little, and after a moment's silence, he said, "Fu Junyan, since you have kidnapped Princess Xuanyuan, you must take responsibility. You must marry her as soon as possible and give an explanation to Shang Shengguo. I will take care of the rest."

Fu Junyan straightened up, his eyes darkened a little, and his face was indifferent: "Your Majesty, please withdraw the imperial decree! I'm sorry that I can't obey your order!"

"What did you say?"

"I already have a wife and will not marry Xuanyuan Xue. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Fu Junyan's voice was neither humble nor arrogant, and he was on the verge of death.

"Snapped!"

Ling Cheyun smashed a cup hard, which scared Eunuch Wang. He quickly signaled to Fu Junyan, asking him to restrain himself.

Helplessly, Fu Junyan made up his mind and remained silent.

"If you don't want to marry her, why did you kidnap her? Fu Junyan, you are courting death!" Ling Cheyun was so imposing, he was so disappointed, "This is not up to you!"

"emperor!"

Fu Junyan kowtowed and wanted to speak again, but Ling Cheyun waved his sleeve fiercely: "Fu Junyan disregarded the law and abducted the princess of Shangsheng, causing a rift in the diplomatic relations between the two countries. Considering his contribution to the pacification, his title of Marquis Wuding will be retained. But the caning in the court is inevitable. Go down and receive thirty sticks!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Fu Junyan kowtowed to express his gratitude and then retreated.

If he was not a martial artist, he would be either dead or disabled after being hit by thirty sticks.

Fu Junyan took thirty blows with a stick, his skin was torn and flesh was exposed, but he didn't say a word.

Xuanyuan Xue was heartbroken when she learned that Fu Junyan was punished by Ling Cheyun for her.

When she saw Fu Junyan being carried out, his entire back was covered in blood, his face was pale and he was covered in sweat, he forced a smile at her.

Xuanyuan Xue's tears began to fall, and her heart felt as if it was pierced by thousands of needles.

Wu Er had been waiting outside the palace gate. When he saw Fu Junyan being carried out, he was extremely anxious and rushed to meet him. His eyes turned red as he saw him: "My Lord!"

Fu Junyan nodded weakly. Wu Er was about to say something, but when he raised his eyes and saw Xuanyuan Xue standing next to him, he was stunned.

"Ma'am, madam?"

Xuanyuan Xue glanced at him and said coldly, "Alright, bring the carriage over here and send your Lord back."

It's not her! Although the two have similar eyebrows, there are some differences if you look closely, especially in temperament, which is completely different.

Wu Er came to his senses from his daze, quickly brought the carriage over, and carefully lifted Fu Junyan onto the carriage.

And in the Fu family, everyone is looking forward to Fu Junyan's return and reunion.

Hearing the sound of horse hooves outside the door, Mrs. Fu, supported by Hong Yan, hurried out tremblingly.

"Yan'er! Where's my Yan'er?"

Seeing Wu Er jumping off the horse, Old Madam Fu looked around but couldn't see Fu Junyan. She stared at the carriage and asked in confusion and anxiety.

Wu Er looked embarrassed, looked at the carriage behind him, and whispered: "Madam, the young master...he is injured..."

Madam Fu was startled and asked sternly, "What's going on? Where's Yan'er?"

She hurried towards the carriage, and Wu Er called two guards to carefully carry Fu Junyan down.

"grandmother!"

The seven-foot-tall man's eyes finally turned red when he saw his grandmother.

We haven't seen each other for six years, and I miss you so much.

Fu Junyan lay on the stretcher, trying to raise his head. Looking at his grandmother with a head full of silver hair and staggering steps, he finally couldn't help choking up.

"Yan'er! What on earth have you done to deserve being tortured like this!"

Old Madam Fu burst into tears. Her grandson had left home on horseback with heroic spirit, fought in battle, made numerous contributions, won numerous good names, and was conferred a title.

Previously, the emperor had said that he would confer an official title on him when he returned, but now he was beaten and came back covered in wounds! This was really too much!

Fu Junyan shook his head and comforted her softly, "Grandma, it's my grandson's fault. Don't blame the people in the palace. Don't let people gossip about it."

Hong Yan stood aside, feeling uneasy and restrained. She looked at Fu Junyan timidly, then turned away nervously. This look was not a big deal, but she seemed to be frightened and screamed -

"Young lady!"

Madam Fu was startled and frowned in dissatisfaction: "What nonsense!"

Hong Yan stared with trembling hands, pointing at Xuanyuan Xue beside the carriage, her voice drifting: "Young Madam... Young Madam, she, she is alive..."

Mrs. Fu looked in the direction of her finger and was also surprised, but her surprise was only for a moment.

After spending a long time with Lin Zhuwei, she could tell at a glance that the two were just similar, but definitely not the same person.

But she was still very unhappy. Her grandson had tried to kill himself for her and had to go to the battlefield. Now there was another one. Who knew what would happen again?

Fu Junyan glanced at Hong Yan calmly and said in a cold tone: "She is the princess of Shangsheng Kingdom, Xuanyuan Xue."

Hongyan's face turned red all of a sudden, feeling embarrassed and ashamed.

Although Mrs. Fu was surprised why she appeared in the Fu family, her protective feelings towards Hong Yan were beyond words. She was the one who gave birth to a child for the Fu family and made great contributions.

She glanced at Xuanyuan Xue coldly and said unhappily, "Alright, why bring up that person again? The past is the past. It's better for someone who shouldn't be here to be gone."

Xuanyuan Xue was very smart and naturally understood that she was the one who "shouldn't be there".

She clenched her fists, and a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes.
