On the day of the granted marriage, the daughter of a general wept and was reborn!

Shen Wantang slowly raised his head.

His eyes flashed.

For just a moment, she really wanted to tell everything in her heart.

But she couldn’t…

In her next life, she wants to save everyone, including all those who died tragically at the hands of Ji Xunchuan.

Every step was difficult and one wrong step could result in the loss of one's life. She couldn't afford to take the risk with so many people.

She clenched her teeth and lowered her brows. She felt a dull pain in her throat because of the sadness.

"It's getting late, General Cen, please go back early."

Although it was only a moment, Cen Xiao's heart still trembled.

He did not ask any more questions, but said softly: "Well, I will leave a few capable people here. If anything happens, tell me immediately, and I can help you."

Shen Wantang was about to refuse, but was stopped by Cen Xiao's words.

"I owe you this favor. I know everything about Zuixianlou."

"For now, just take good care of General Shen. If anything bad happens in the court, Xia Huai'en and I will take care of it."

His eyes were firm.

When we came out of the military camp, the sun was already setting.

"Sir, why don't you stay with Miss Shen in the military camp? Aren't you attracted to her?"

Pei Qing didn't understand and asked.

Cen Xiao let out a long sigh: "Right now, what she needs is to think quietly."

As he spoke, Cen Xiao looked around and whispered, "We should not only think about how to break this situation, but also think about whether the person in the palace is the wise ruler that the Shen family wants to follow."

After he finished speaking, Pei Qing's eyes tightened and he quickly looked around.

"Sir, you didn't let me say it, so why did you say it so bluntly?"

"But the Shen family has the merit of following the dragon after all, so no matter what, they will support the fifth prince."

The horse was walking leisurely, and Cen Xiao breathed a sigh of relief with a smile in his eyes.

"You also saw today that the Fifth Prince could punish subordinates who had served him well. Do you really think he cares about his service?"

Cen Xiao laughed sarcastically, "No matter who it is in this court, they are just his pawns. Who does he really care about? He doesn't care about the people of the world, nor about the people's peaceful and happy life. He only cares about the throne."

Pei Qing seemed to be thinking about something. If it came to going into battle and killing the enemy, Pei Qing had some brains, but when it came to these things, he really couldn't wrap his head around it. The more he thought about it, the more confused he became.

He sighed helplessly: "Sir, what you said is really confusing."

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand. You just need to know that Shen Wantang and I will eventually end up in the same place."

Cen Xiao was firm when he said this.

At night, only Shen Wantang's room was still lit with candlelight.

Sitting at the desk, she pondered for a long time.

What happened today made her much more sober.

Ji Xunchuan is cruel and merciless. If that's the case, then why should Shen Wantang keep this useless face?

Thinking of this, Shen Wantang's eyes narrowed and his fists clenched.

The Shen family helped Ji Xunchuan ascend the throne, and they thought he would be a wise ruler, but now it seems really ridiculous.

If that's the case, why does Shen Wantang have to swallow his anger?

Let Ji Xunchuan insist that dying unjustly is also death, and reshaping the court and dying for the people is also death.

In that case, just follow your heart.

At that time, in the Cen Mansion in the capital.

"Sir, this is a letter from the Marquis' Mansion." Pei Qing hurried forward and handed over the letter in his hand.

Cen Xiao only read two lines of the letter and frowned.

Seeing that Cen Xiao looked strange, Pei Qing asked hurriedly, "What's wrong, sir? Did something happen at home?"

After reading the letter, Cen Xiao burned it without saying a word.

"You have always kept the letters written by the Marquis and his wife carefully. Why are you burning this one now?"

Pei Qing frowned and felt anxious.

"There's news about the eldest prince."

Cen Xiao spoke in a low voice.

With just one sentence, Pei Qing instantly closed his mouth and stretched out his hand to cover his mouth tightly, fearing that he would scream out.

Before this, the eldest prince disappeared without reason, and the Marquis's Mansion had searched for him many times, but after searching for a long time, there was still no trace of him. Since the current emperor ascended the throne, he has also drafted a title for the eldest prince, confirming the news of the eldest prince's death.

Now it is suddenly reported that he is still alive. If Ji Xunchuan knew about it, I am afraid the world would be in chaos again.

"Sir, what do you think?"

After thinking for a long time, Pei Qin finally spoke softly, looking at the young master beside him with an extremely determined look in his eyes.

Cen Xiao had no idea for a moment.

"We must not let anyone else know about this. The most urgent thing is to find his whereabouts. This matter is too big, and we can't make a hasty decision. We still need to think carefully."

Thinking carefully about the contents of the letter just now, the eldest prince's whereabouts are near Nanzhou.

The eldest prince cannot carry anything on his shoulders or lift anything with his hands, so naturally he cannot walk far.

But now Nanzhou is hit by a disaster, and if he doesn't starve to death there, he will probably be forced to death by the victims.

Cen Xiao frowned and asked hurriedly.

"Have you selected anyone to go to Nanzhou to provide disaster relief?"

Pei Qing thought for a moment, then shook his head: "No, but I heard that Miss Shen went there today and volunteered to provide disaster relief. But because of General Shen's matter, I'm afraid this plan will be ruined."

After he finished speaking, Cen Xiao narrowed his eyes and raised his eyebrows.

"If you count carefully, most of the officials in the court are deeply mired in the quagmire of the reform. The number of officials who can provide disaster relief can be counted on one's fingers."

"If you want to know, I will go and find out tomorrow."

Pei Qing said excitedly.

Cen Xiao nodded and said, "It is the transition period between winter and spring, when diseases are most prevalent. These adults are all loyal subjects, so we must find out everything clearly."

Pei Qing understood instantly after hearing the words, and his eyes curved into an arc: "Understood."

After a few days, the number of court officials who were deeply involved in the reform increased. Since the redundant officials were cut, even those officials with some small power dared not show up.

Asking for leave every other day.

"Now that the disaster in Nanzhou is rampant, is there any of you willing to share my worries?"

Ji Xunchuan rubbed his eyebrows, feeling very upset.

But after the words fell, no one dared to respond and everyone remained silent.

This made him even more annoyed.

"Is the Liangzhou Transport Envoy available?"

Ji Xunchuan spoke softly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Huai'en came forward and said, "Your Majesty, the Liangzhou Transport Envoy has caught a cold and has not recovered for several days. He has already taken a long leave."

"Where is the General of Agriculture?"

Ji Xunchuan continued to ask.

"The same goes for the Zhonglang Jiang. He has been on leave for ten days."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Xunchuan grabbed the teacup beside him and threw it down, sternly rebuking: "Is there no one in the court who can help me with disaster relief? What's the point of me raising you?"

As soon as the words fell, everyone knelt down: "Your Majesty, calm down..."
