The mistress died of overwork, and after rebirth, she was bad at raising her cubs

The news that the Fourth Prince was seriously ill spread throughout the capital in no time.

Everyone just thought that it was the sequelae of the Fourth Prince having an affair with the Eighth Prince's concubine and being whipped by the Emperor. No one thought of any other possibilities.

But obviously, the fact that the Fourth Prince was seriously ill in bed and unable to attend court did not attract the attention of the court officials. What they cared about more now was... the King of War was back!

Logically speaking, the King of War won a great victory in the Battle of Lihe, driving Xiqi back hundreds of miles and making them dare not invade again. This was a great achievement.

If the King of War returns to the capital, Emperor Jingren and all the civil and military officials will have to welcome him on the city wall!

but……

What no one expected was that although the War King had returned, his life was hanging by a thread!

The most important thing is that Doctor Gu, the only one who can save the King of War, is unable to return for the time being because he has gone to the King of Kang's Mansion in Lingcheng!

Everyone couldn't help but smell a few different scents!

However, now that Emperor Jingren didn't mention it, they didn't dare to say anything more.

Everyone was waiting, watching, and looking at Emperor Jingren's attitude.

Before Emperor Jingren spoke, no one dared to say anything, for fear that it would bring disaster to them.

Fortunately, within a few days, news came that the War King survived!

However, although the person was alive, he was paralyzed in bed and unable to move!

Suddenly, everyone couldn't help but sigh!

After all, if a general is paralyzed in bed, it is no different from being dead!

As soon as the King of War "woken up", he could not wait to submit a memorial and go to the palace to meet the emperor!

Above the court!

Everyone saw the once majestic God of War being carried to the hall on a stretcher!

At this time, Huo Zhanting was wrapped all over in gauze, and blood was faintly visible on the gauze. It looked shocking!

And that originally handsome and majestic face was now extremely pale. Compared with its previous toughness, it looked a little more sickly and seemed as if it would die in the next second.

The court officials couldn't help but look sideways.

Even the civil servants who had disliked Huo Zhanting in the past could not bear to say a word at this moment.

After Huo Zhanting was carried to the palace, he struggled to salute Emperor Jingren.

But after struggling for a long time, his body could not move at all. He only raised his hands tremblingly, bowed to Emperor Jingren, and said in a tearful voice:

"Your Majesty! I have lived up to your grace. In the battle of Lihe, we lost 100,000 soldiers, annihilated 300,000 enemies, and captured 200,000 prisoners of war. They will be escorted back to the capital soon!"

"We have won a great victory in this battle! It is all thanks to the grace of Your Majesty! But... I beg Your Majesty to forgive me for my disrespectful behavior of not being able to stand up and kneel down!"

Emperor Jingren sat high on the throne. Listening to Huo Zhanting's words, he was moved. He stood up with red eyes and said repeatedly:

"Okay, okay! Lord Huo has made great contributions to the Yong Dynasty! How can I blame you? Lord Huo has worked hard, but your body is so bad now..."

Emperor Jingren looked at Huo Zhanting with a look of deep sorrow and asked with concern.

Huo Zhanting sighed, glanced at Emperor Jingren, and said:

"I am now disabled, and I am afraid that I will no longer be able to serve Your Majesty."

After a pause, Huo Zhanting immediately took out a tiger talisman from his arms and said respectfully:

"But now I have fulfilled my mission, Your Majesty, please take back this tiger talisman."

Huo Zhanting's action immediately changed everyone's face!

Tiger Tally?

As soon as Huo Zhanting came back, he handed over the tiger talisman?

Everyone's expressions were different, and they looked at Huo Zhanting with different thoughts.

Even Emperor Jingren couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

All along, he has relied on Huo Zhanting, but he is also afraid of Huo Zhanting!

He was able to conquer the surrounding countries at such a young age, and now he has a large army under his command. How can he not be worried?

If Huo Zhanting had any intention of rebelling against him, the change of dynasty in the Great Yong Dynasty would only be a matter of a moment!

But when he was taking all kinds of precautions and was even considering what reason he could use to get Huo Zhanting to hand over the tiger talisman, Huo Zhanting actually handed over the tiger talisman obediently and consciously?

Is this going too smoothly? Or is there some hidden conspiracy behind this?

But no matter what, it was better for Huo Zhanting to hand over the tiger talisman himself than forcing him to do so.

After Emperor Jingren refused for a while, he finally took the tiger talisman with a moved look on his face and began to praise Huo Zhanting highly.

The court officials all followed suit, and when they heard Emperor Jingren praising Huo Zhanting, they all echoed him.

It's always easy to add icing on the cake.

Seeing this, Huo Zhanting spoke at the right time and said respectfully to Emperor Jingren:

"Your Majesty, I have another request."

Emperor Jingren had just held the tiger talisman, and before he could stop showing his joy, his face suddenly froze when he heard Huo Zhanting's words. He kept thinking:

Sure enough! How could Huo Zhanting hand over the tiger talisman to him so easily? He has a backup plan waiting for him!

However, Emperor Jingren had just received the tiger talisman, so it was difficult for him to refuse directly. Emperor Jingren concealed the murderous intent in his eyes and said with a fake smile:

"My dear, if you have any requests, please feel free to tell me. I will do my best to satisfy you."

The court officials were immediately nervous and hung their heads, not daring to say a word.

But their ears perked up, wanting to hear what Huo Zhanting would ask for.

Now that he is the king of the opposite sex, does he still want to ask for a fiefdom for himself? Is he going to be a local emperor?

But the Yong Dynasty had already deposed the vassal kings. If Huo Zhanting dared to bring it up, there would probably be bloodshed in this palace today...

But at this moment, someone stepped forward, coughed desperately a few times, and then spoke to Emperor Jingren in a hoarse voice:

"Your Majesty, the War King has fought for the country and the people for ten years. This is a great achievement. Whatever reward the War King wants, I second it!"

Everyone looked at the person who spoke and couldn't help but be a little surprised.

It turned out to be the General of Cavalry, General Nangong Liuming!

No wonder!

I heard that this person has been ill for quite some time and has not attended court for a long time.

But today, General Nangong suddenly dragged his sick body to attend the court. Was it because of this War King?

Yes, as fellow military generals, they will always sympathize with each other.

But no one dared to speak with Nangong Liuming. They could only lower their heads and dare not say a word.

The Minister of Revenue Qian Hongwen was so frightened that his face turned pale.

I took a sneaky look at Nangong Liuming and felt that my father-in-law was really looking for death! Why did he have to get involved in this matter?

If His Majesty is angered by this matter and he is implicated, he will also be in trouble!

Thinking of this, the Minister of Revenue gritted his teeth and stepped forward and said:

"General Nangong, no matter what the War King wants, His Majesty should take his place."

Nangong Liuming coughed a few times, glanced at Qian Hongwen, a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes, and sneered:

"Reward those who have made contributions and punish those who have made mistakes. This is what a wise ruler does!

"King Zhan and his soldiers fought for the prosperity of the Yong Dynasty with their lives! It's just a small request. Your Majesty is a wise ruler, how could he not agree to it?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Emperor Jingren was directly put into trouble.

If Emperor Jingren was unwilling to agree to Huo Zhanting's request, wouldn't he be a tyrant?

Qian Hongwen's face turned red, and he tried to wink at Nangong Liuming, but Nangong Liuming didn't care at all. He held the tablet in his hand and looked at Emperor Jingren with a fair and stern face.

It was Prime Minister Jiang who came to the rescue of Emperor Jingren and said with a smile:

"There is no need for you two to argue like this. Why don't you please tell us what you want first, King Zhan?"

Once Prime Minister Jiang opened his mouth, there was no need for Emperor Jingren to agree to anything, which left room for maneuver.

Huo Zhanting was lying on a stretcher at this time, but he glanced at General Nangong with some confusion, as if he didn't know why Nangong Liuming would speak for him.

Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Huo Zhanting spoke his request to Emperor Jingren.

Suddenly, the court was shaken, and everyone looked at Huo Zhanting in surprise and disbelief.
