Ji Chuhe knew this because in his previous life, Luo Heng led the army and won a great victory over the Rong Kingdom.

After that battle, Luo Heng had an army of 100,000 men under his command, which further established the Luo family's position among the powerful people in the imperial capital.

In that battle, in addition to the soldiers originally stationed in the northern border, Luo Heng had the old members of the Luo family who were summoned back.

Today, most of the Luo family's former members are still under the command of General Ji.

This is also the reason why Xiao Wenxuan racked his brains to get Luo Jixun back.

Luo Jixun went to Yongcheng to deal with the matter of Ji Zhengchun and gathered the old members of the Luo family.

Even if General Ji didn't want to release the people, he had to compromise in order to protect himself.

Such a result gave Xiao Wenxuan an extra layer of security.

Ji Chuhe wanted to make this happen and disintegrate Ji Zhenghui's military force.

"Madam, we have been keeping an eye on Ji Zhenghui. How should we arrange for General Nan? He has two hundred thousand troops under his command. Besides, he does not have any private contact with anyone except the Empress Dowager. I sent someone to test him, but to no avail."

"Your Highness, don't worry about General Nan's side. The time is not right for him yet."

"Okay." Xiao Yan'an nodded gently.

……

Ten days later, Luo Jixun returned to the imperial capital.

I saw him riding on a horse in a plain gray suit. He looked completely different from before, as if he was ten years older, and his figure was much more rugged than before.

Many people who saw him didn't recognize him.

Luo Jixun looked at the familiar street in front of him, emotions surging in his eyes.

"Grandfather, father, I'm finally back."

"Don't worry, I will definitely bring glory to the Luo family again! Let all those who have framed the Luo family be buried with you!"

In the crowd, there was a slender figure who kept staring in the direction of Luo Jixun, with hatred in her eyes.

Luo Jixun is back, and the day of her revenge is approaching.

Only when Luo Jixun's figure disappeared did she slowly loosen her clenched fists.

In the palm of her left hand, she held a jade pendant with the word "Jin" engraved on it.

The lady said that Jin is the name of beautiful jade, so from now on, she would be called Jin'er.

However, she felt that she was not worthy of this name yet.

It won’t be too late to call her by this name after she has truly taken revenge.

Before she has taken revenge, she is still that Su Su.

Luo Jixun went directly into the palace to meet Xiao Wenxuan.

When Xiao Wenxuan saw Luo Jixun, he excitedly walked forward and hugged Luo Jixun.

"Finally home!"

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you." Luo Jixun also had tears in his eyes as he knelt down and saluted Xiao Wenxuan.

"Hurry up and get up. Why are we still doing these empty formalities between you and me?" Xiao Wenxuan said, looking Luo Jixun up and down, choking up and saying, "You have suffered."

"I have always remembered my grandfather's words and have not dared to slack off. I am just waiting to return to the imperial capital one day and revive the Luo family."

Xiao Wenxuan patted Luo Jixun on the shoulder and said, "This is what I think. This time, your going to Yongcheng to deal with Ji Zhengchun's affairs is just a cover. The most important thing is to take back the old members of the Luo family. When Ji Zhengchun is dealt with, I will reward you in front of all the civil and military officials and give you the title of Zhenyuan Marquis."

"I will fulfill my mission."

"Ji Zhengchun's incident happened too suddenly, and someone did it deliberately. You must be careful when you go to Yongcheng, lest someone secretly harm you. I will have someone clean up the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion and wait for your return."

"Since the matter is so urgent, I will leave for the northern border now."

"I'll ask someone to notify General Ji." Just as Xiao Wenxuan finished speaking, footsteps were heard outside.

"Your Majesty! The Empress Dowager has summoned General Ji's wife to the palace. It's been an hour, and she hasn't left the palace yet."

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager summoned General Ji's wife into the palace at this time. Could it be that she wants to take General Ji's wife hostage?" Luo Jixun immediately guessed the Empress Dowager's intention.

"You don't have to worry about this matter. Just go back to Yongcheng with General Ji. I will take care of General Ji's wife's affairs."

"Yes, I'll take my leave." Luo Jixun turned and walked out.

Before Xiao Wenxuan arrived at the Empress Dowager's palace, he saw Ji Shuangshuang coming towards him on a sedan chair.

"Your Majesty!" Ji Shuangshuang looked at Xiao Wenxuan and called out anxiously.

"Shuangshuang, why are you here? The imperial physician said that your knee injury is very serious. You can't move and need to stay in bed and rest." Xiao Wenxuan walked forward with a worried look on his face.

Ji Shuangshuang grabbed Xiao Wenxuan's sleeve and said, "Your Majesty, please save my mother! She is under house arrest in the palace by the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager must want to use her life to threaten my father!"

"Shuangshuang, don't worry. I know everything. I'm going to the Empress Dowager's palace now. You can go back first and wait for my news, okay?"

"No, Your Majesty, I want to go to the Empress Dowager's palace with you. I won't feel at ease unless I see with my own eyes that my mother is safe and sound." Ji Shuangshuang was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

"Okay, you go with me."

General Ji was not in the palace because of Ji Zhengchun's matter.

The Empress Dowager summoned Madam Ji into the palace and deliberately avoided General Ji.

Madam Ji was anxious to see her daughter, and thought that she would be able to see her daughter as soon as she entered the palace. Without any hesitation, she followed the Empress Dowager into the palace.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she entered the palace, she was taken directly to the Empress Dowager's palace.

An hour had passed, but the Empress Dowager still wouldn't let her leave.

She wanted to see her daughter, but he ignored her.

Only later did she realize that something was wrong.

"The Emperor has arrived!" a message was announced.

The Queen Mother chuckled, "It came so quickly."

Chang Ru was originally sitting next to the Empress Dowager. When she saw Xiao Wenxuan striding in, she stood up and saluted.

Xiao Wenxuan glanced at Chang Ru, his eyes falling on her bulging belly.

Judging from Chang Ru’s reaction, everything he said to Chang Ru that day was in vain.

Chang Ru had consumed the last bit of his affection.

At this time, Ji Shuangshuang was also supported by someone and walked in.

"Where is my mother?" she asked the Empress Dowager.

"Come, you unruly thing, drag me out and teach you some proper manners." The Empress Dowager gave the order directly.

"Grand Empress Dowager! Shuangshuang is just anxious for the moment. Please don't be angry. I will teach her a lesson." Xiao Wenxuan immediately stopped her.

"Shuangshuang, quickly pay your respects to the Empress Dowager." Xiao Yan'an turned his head and glanced at Ji Shuangshuang.

Ji Shuangshuang reluctantly bowed and said, "Greetings to the Empress Dowager."

The Empress Dowager glanced at her and did not allow her to excuse herself.

Ji Shuangshuang could only continue kneeling like this.

"Your Majesty, why are you here in such a hurry?"

"I heard that General Ji's wife has been summoned into the palace by you, the Empress Dowager, and that Mrs. Ji is going back to Yongcheng with General Ji. I ask you, the Empress Dowager, to let her leave the palace." Xiao Wenxuan stated his intention directly.
