Transmigrated into a goddess from another world, and criticized the King of Yan for loving her like

"Eat." Then he helped her serve a bowl of tofu soup.

Sometimes he felt that he was very strange. When he was angry with her, it wouldn't take long for him to give her a way out.

After breakfast, they rested for a while before setting off towards Shangjing City...

……

Inside the Kunde Hall, there are red lacquered walls and glazed tiles, with dragons coiling around the pillars. The hall is magnificent with carved beams and painted buildings, which is something that many people can never achieve in their lifetime.

The ministers with solemn expressions lined up in neat rows and stood in the hall holding scepters and tablets.

The sound of footsteps came closer and closer, and as the eunuch's sharp report sounded, the ministers saluted respectfully to the emperor.

The emperor waved his robe and lazily sat on the golden dragon throne. "My lords, what do you want to report today?"

Li Silin, the Minister of Imperial Clan Affairs, walked out of the crowd, stepped forward and saluted, "Your Majesty, I have something to report."

The Minister of Zongzheng was the royal steward, in charge of royal family membership and the affairs of the royal clan.

"Play."

Li Silin: "The governor of Qizhou sent a message saying that General Lu Huan found Princess Nankang in Qizhou city."

Lu Huan's father Lu Guang was originally a general of the first rank, while Lu Huan was a general of chariots and cavalry, a second rank official.

The emperor put away his lazy look and stood up excitedly, "Is this true?"

Li Silin: "Yes, the governor of Qizhou sent me news. He said that General Lu had left five days ago and brought Princess Nankang back to the capital. I think... he will be back in the capital soon, Your Majesty can rest assured."

The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes, "Really?"

After a while, he said, "Well, it's good as long as we find the person."

When the court was dismissed, the emperor specifically called the Minister of Personnel and the Censor of the Censorate and summoned them to the back hall to discuss state affairs.

"What do you two think about Lu Huan finding Princess Nanjia in Qizhou?

The Minister of Personnel bowed and saluted, holding the jade tablet in his hand, and said, "Your Majesty, I know that Your Majesty is slightly dissatisfied with General Lu. But for now, Your Majesty has no concrete evidence, and he has found the missing Princess Nanjia and made a great contribution."

"In my humble opinion, Your Majesty should hold off for now and investigate his faults in secret. When you have evidence, you can make a decision together."

The emperor looked at him with dissatisfaction and asked the censor of the Censorate, "Pei Ji, what about you?"

Pei Ji: "I second the motion."

The emperor's brows were filled with a hint of coldness. "You just want me to be patient, but you don't know that I am almost at the end of my patience!"

He suddenly swept a stack of books to the ground, and the Minister of Rites fell to his knees, "Your Majesty, calm down!"

Pei Ji stood calmly, "Your Majesty, at this moment, it seems that we still need to make preparations early."

The emperor turned back to look at him angrily, "Tell me, how can we prepare early?"

Pei Ji: "In my opinion, there must be something fishy about General Lu Guang's death and the repeated defeats of our Nanchang Kingdom. Your Majesty should take precautions early. Now that there is no war, Your Majesty should let the general who protects the country lead the soldiers to garrison the capital to prevent Lu Huan from rebelling."

"How could I not know that I should send troops to garrison the capital? I am just afraid that if the action is too big, it will anger Lu Huan and force him to rebel."

The Minister of Personnel stood up after receiving the emperor's order and said, "Your Majesty, since that's the case, why don't you give Lu Huan a sweet date to eat first?"

At the emperor's "go on" look, he said, "Since he has made great contributions, Your Majesty should give him a reward first. After he receives the reward, he will naturally be grateful to Your Majesty. Even if he is dissatisfied, he will not rebel at this time.

If he rose up at this time, even if he won the throne in the future, it would be illegitimate and he would be despised by the world. I think Lu Huan, who is smart, would not act at this time.

If Your Majesty rewards him, it can not only appease him in the future, but also prepare to deal with Lu Huan in private. Isn't it better this way?"

Pei Ji also spoke at this time, "Your Majesty, this is the only way for now. Although Lu Huan failed to defend Zhiyi City, there are not many people available right now. Now he has saved Princess Nanjia. If Your Majesty does not reward him, it would be unreasonable."

The emperor was extremely angry, but there was nothing he could do.

Lu Guang's father was a founding general and was granted a title of nobility. Their Lu family had been loyal to the country for generations, and Lu Guang died on the battlefield. Although Lu Huan did not defend those towns and counties, he also fought for his life on the battlefield.

If he were punished, firstly, he would inevitably feel dissatisfied due to the hard work he had suffered; secondly, most of the generals had died on the battlefield, and there were not many generals available; thirdly, he had soldiers under his command, and if they were determined to rebel, Nanchang State would be attacked from all sides, and its national destiny would be worrying.

He felt extremely weak, as if all his energy and spirit had been drained away. "At this moment, this is the only way."

……

Because they had to take Gao Jiarong into consideration along the way, they moved much slower than when Lu Huan went to Zhiyi City.

Su Qian also relaxed her mind, just treating it as a trip in ancient times. She strolled around and ate every day, and joked with Lu Huan when she had nothing to do. She lived a happy life.

That morning, Lu Huan ordered someone to bring the ointment. The medicine boy placed the medicine on the bluestone table, received Lu Huan's signal, bowed and left.

Su Qian was having fun playing with the cat. Lu Huan just watched her play at first, but then he couldn't hold his temper anymore and said, "Su Zhao, come here!"

Su Qian didn't even turn her head and continued to pet the cat. She couldn't let go of the soft fur and cat belly. "What's the matter? I'm busy."

Lu Huan's gaze stayed on her for a long time. Su Qian didn't hear his reply and looked at him with some confusion.

Meeting Lu Huan's cold eyes, she felt inexplicably frightened.

But if you look closely, you will find that there is a hint of loneliness in his anger, but obviously, Su Qian did not notice this.

She looked around and saw the ointment on the table, and immediately understood what he meant.

She silently got up to wash her hands, wiped the water stains on her hands with a silk cloth, then sat on the stone bench in front of him, pulled his injured right hand, rolled up his embroidered robe, revealing his clean white arm.

It’s strange to say, it’s rare for someone who trains every day in the military camp to have such a skin color.

Su Qian slowly unwrapped the bandage and carefully observed his wound for a while. After a long while, she breathed a sigh of relief, "The wound has finally healed."

"Although the weather is not hot now, it would be troublesome if it gets inflamed or pus is filled."

Lu Huan watched her with interest as she treated his wounds. His eyes unconsciously followed Su Qian's movements. The autumn sun was still very warm, and the golden light sprinkled around her, but it was him who was warmed.

Feeling his burning gaze, Su Qian was a little shy at first, but then she became confused. What was he looking at? Why was he staring at her?

Su Qian looked up and wanted to ask him what was going on, but Lu Huan hurriedly looked away, trying to hide his excitement.

Su Qian felt puzzled, and realized that he wanted to hide something, so she stopped asking him that question. "Although the wound has healed, you still have to be careful. Don't use a knife or rob for the time being. Anyway, there are people around to protect you, so as not to rupture the wound again."

Lu Huan looked away, his face indifferent, but his heart was warm, "Got it."

Su Qian changed the medicine for him and bandaged him. After everything was ready, she planned to pet the cat again. As soon as she stood up and took two steps, Lu Huan pulled her back forcefully, "What are you going to do?"

Su Qian: "... Go play with the cats, what else can I do?"

Lu Huan said with a straight face: "What's the point of petting a cat?"

Su Qian didn't know why. "It's very interesting. Do you want to join us?"
