The female general was reborn in the enemy's house? They all die!

"Ha ha--"

Lu Yue suddenly couldn't help laughing out loud, totally ignoring the fact that he was still at the gate of the Rongguo Marquis's Mansion: "If the prince and the princess get married in the future, then I, Lu Yue, will definitely have a share of the credit!"

Grabbing the reins with great enthusiasm, Lu Yue was as happy as if he was about to get married: "No, I have to think about what reward I should ask the prince for now, otherwise it will be too late."

He returned happily all the way and soon disappeared into the misty night.

Autumn in Kyoto is always colder.

It has been half a month since the birthday banquet in Yanhuan Palace, but Concubine Wei has remained in good health.

He lay on the couch all day, never leaving the stove in his hands for a moment.

The emperor originally wanted to wait until Concubine Wei recovered before holding the ceremony to confer the title of Imperial Concubine on her.

It also happened that Wei Xun won an unprecedented victory and had a rare trip back to the capital, so he was rewarded together.

What an honor it is to bring glory to our family.

If everything goes as planned, then looking around the capital, no aristocratic family can surpass the Wei family's status in the court.

It’s a pity that Concubine Wei has damaged her vitality. The imperial physician has recommended that she should not go out, and Wei Xun cannot stay in the capital for a long time.

After much deliberation, the emperor decided to reward Wei Xun first, and then let him return to the southern border to guard it as soon as possible.

At the morning court session that day, all civil and military officials gathered in the main hall.

The emperor wore a dragon robe and a noble crown on his head, looking solemn yet friendly.

"Wei Qing has been guarding the southern border for a long time. He is loyal and brave, talented and intelligent. He has made many military achievements and made great contributions to the stability of Dazhen."

He looked at Wei Xun opposite him with a smile, his eyes full of admiration: "This time when King Jing'an rebelled, Wei Qing was very perceptive and worked tirelessly to wipe out the rebels. I am very pleased."

After he finished speaking, the emperor's eyes slowly fell on Eunuch Gao standing beside him.

Eunuch Gao immediately stepped forward respectfully and spread out the imperial edict.

Facing all the ministers, he solemnly announced: "General Wei Xun, you are brave and good at fighting, and have made great contributions to the peace of the country. I now grant you ten thousand taels of gold, one hundred hectares of fertile land, and one hundred pieces of silk and brocade. I hereby decree this."

"General Wei, please accept the imperial edict." Eunuch Gao came to Wei Xun with a smile and held the imperial edict in front of him.

Wei Xun raised his head, looked at the golden imperial edict that was gradually getting bigger in front of him, and was about to take it with both hands.

Just then, a burst of rapid coughing interrupted everything that was going on in the hall.

"Cough, cough, cough—"

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw General Xia Yanzhi walking towards the center of the hall with trembling steps. His voice was hoarse but deep: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for being late as I have caught a cold recently."

"General Xia has been overworked recently and is ill. He sent someone to ask for leave yesterday and I granted his request. Is he here to attend court again today? Is he here to report something important to me?"

"Your Majesty, this is a matter concerning the stability of the court and the safety of Dazhen. I have no choice but to come here in person despite my illness."

"Oh?" The emperor frowned upon hearing this. "What is it?"

General Xia stood beside Wei Xun, and their eyes met. Wei Xun actually saw a piercing cold light in his eyes.

While I was confused, I heard General Xia speak slowly.

"Your Majesty, I heard a shocking fact a few days ago," said General Xia, turning his head to look at Wei Xun, his tone very unfriendly, "It's about General Wei."

Wei Xun was even more surprised when he heard this. He saw General Xia glared at him and then shouted behind him, "Bring him up!"

When the ministers heard this, they all looked towards the door curiously.

I saw the guard walking into the hall with a man.

Wei Xun also turned around in surprise, but when he saw the face of the man behind the guard, he couldn't help but shout out: "Du Sheng!"

Du Sheng was one of Wei Xun's deputy generals and was always by Wei Xun's side.

This battle with the Nanyue Kingdom was also due to the tacit cooperation between him and Wei Xun, which enabled them to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop.

It can be said that he is the person Wei Xun trusts most in the army.

At this time, Du Sheng turned a deaf ear to Wei Xun's call. He walked to the center of the hall with a cold face and knelt heavily on the ground.

Under Wei Xun's incredulous gaze, Du Sheng and General Xia exchanged glances.

Then, Du Sheng turned to the emperor and said loudly: "Your Majesty, at this point, I have no choice but to speak out."

He pointed at Wei Xun's nose and said firmly: "From defeating Nanyue to capturing King Jing'an at Yanhuan Mountain, all of this was colluded by Wei Xun and Nanyue, just to gain Nanyue's support and then unite to seize Dazhen's kingdom."

The entire hall was suddenly silent, and you could hear a pin drop.

All that remained was Du Sheng's resounding accusation: "And that King Jing'an was just a smokescreen being used by others. In order to make the Wei family more respected by the emperor, Nanyue did not hesitate to sacrifice General Yangzan's life!"

"What nonsense!"

After listening to Du Sheng's righteous words for a long time, Wei Xun finally couldn't bear it anymore.

He looked at his former confidant in the army, his right-hand man, with a look of desolation and resentment: "Du Sheng, I, Wei Xun, have treated you like my own brother over the years, but now you have framed me to this extent. What is your intention?"

"Humph!" Du Sheng's face was full of sarcasm, "My own brother?"

He ignored Wei Xun and bowed to the emperor again: "Your Majesty, Wei Xun has been in the southern border for these years and has withheld all the military pay that should have been distributed to the soldiers. The brothers are hungry and cold, but they still have to fight hard in the battlefield. Including me, he threatened us with the lives of our families, so no one dares to tell the truth."

The emperor sat on the dragon throne, listening to Du Sheng's confident words, with a look of doubt on his face: "Du Sheng, do you know what you are doing?"

He looked directly at Du Sheng, his eyes full of majesty: "Falsely accusing a loyal official of the court is punishable by death. You must provide evidence for what you said."

Du Sheng fell to the ground upon hearing this. "Your Majesty, I have been hiding in the capital from Nanyue, waiting for this day. I will not dare to expose Wei Xun's crimes in this palace until Lord Xia rescues my family!"
