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

"Go back to the palace! You are not allowed to come out without my order!"

Ji Xunchuan left a final word.

Although the imperial concubine had little to say, her gaze never yielded.

She stood up suddenly, bowed hastily and prepared to leave, but she stopped after taking two steps: "Your Majesty, as the ruler of a country, please consider the overall situation and don't be blinded by the treacherous people!"

After leaving a few words, the imperial concubine got on the sedan chair and left without looking back.

Traitor?

At present, Shen Wantang is the only person outside the palace, so there is no need to make any hidden claims. The traitor referred to is naturally Shen Wantang.

This is the imperial concubine's personality. Even if someone threatens her, she will only be frightened for a short while. When her backers come, she will return to her usual domineering personality.

Ji Xunchuan frowned and glanced at the eunuch beside him.

The eunuch understood immediately and went to the side of the imperial guards: "Everyone disperse!"

A breeze blew by, and the flowers in the imperial garden swayed in the wind.

The wind was like a mother's hand, caressing Shen Wantang's red and swollen face.

Ji Xunchuan walked in front, and Shen Wantang followed beside him. Behind him, dozens of eunuchs and palace maids followed in a very proud manner. Because they could not hear the official business, they just followed from a distance. Only one eunuch in charge stayed beside the emperor.

"Lian Zhao has already stayed in the general's mansion, right?" Ji Xunchuan asked.

These words didn't sound like instructions, but rather like an inquiry.

"The relationship between Rong State and our country is tense. General Shen is still needed to make some plans on this." As he spoke, Ji Xunchuan raised his eyebrows and turned his head to look at Shen Wantang beside him.

Shen Wantang just lowered her head. She didn't want to see Ji Xunchuan's disguised eyes. She couldn't help but want to spit out after just a quick glance.

"Your Majesty, I have the audacity to place Prince Lian Zhao in the hostage house arranged by the Imperial Palace."

Shen Wantang stopped and knelt on the ground.

Hearing this, Ji Xunchuan's eyes froze, he paused, turned to look at Shen Wantang, waiting for her further explanation.

"Your Majesty, it is against the rules for a hostage from another country to live in the general's mansion. If someone can change the rules without authorization by saying a word in front of Your Majesty, then the rules will be meaningless and order will be disrupted. What's worse, if gossip spreads to other countries, Your Majesty's reputation will be damaged."

"Your Majesty, I know your majesty's difficulties very well. I am willing to be the bad guy and keep the rules for your majesty!"

After he finished speaking, Shen Wantang knelt deeply on the ground.

There was silence for a long time. Looking at the girl kneeling on the ground, Ji Xunchuan thought for a moment and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Miss Shen, you are truly a good subject of mine."

Shen Wantang could hear some gnashing of teeth in this sentence - the kind of anger and humiliation that comes from having plans disrupted.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Shen Wantang just thought that Ji Xunchuan was praising him.

In the pavilion in front, the eunuch in charge had already ordered people to prepare tea and snacks.

Since he had disrupted Ji Xunchuan's plan and hadn't gained any benefit, he naturally wouldn't let it go.

Instead of letting him continue, it is better to take the initiative.

After all, he who strikes first will be victorious, while he who strikes later will be victorious.

"Your Majesty, I have also gained something from His Highness Lian Zhao." Shen Wantang said respectfully.

It is safest to lure them with benefits.

"Oh?" Ji Xunchuan raised his eyebrows and looked at Shen Wantang with interest.

"After much inquiry from this servant, I found out that the Rong Kingdom has put a lot of effort into our country, and there are many hidden agents among them. I have already got clues about these hidden agents."

Ji Xunchuan's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, and he continued to ask: "What is the result?"

"The person behind the scenes has not been found yet. Please give me some more time. Once I find out who is behind it, I will report it truthfully." Shen Wantang said respectfully.

In officialdom, one must avoid being greedy and let go appropriately to lay a good foundation for the overall situation in the future.

"Okay, I grant you the right to act at your own convenience. You must thoroughly investigate the matter of Rongguo's secret agent!"

Ji Xunchuan thought for a moment and then gave the order.

Shen Wantang bowed: "Yes."

After reporting the matter, Shen Wantang prepared to leave.

In the lush imperial garden, Shen Wantang's plain clothes looked special. As the breeze blew past, her thin figure seemed a little more broken.

Looking at Shen Wantang's back, Ji Xunchuan was lost in thought.

The eunuch beside him called out to him many times before he came to his senses.

"Your Majesty, which lady's card do you want to turn over tonight?"

The eunuch presented the sign. Although he was hunched over, his eyes never left Ji Xunchuan's.

Ji Xunchuan glanced at the sign, stood up and walked to the side: "Don't turn over the sign, review the petition."

After coming out of the palace, Shen Wantang trotted all the way to the carriage. The nausea that he had just been suppressing could no longer be held back, and heaved twice with one hand on his chest.

He just stood up, but his vision was a little blurry and his feet staggered a few steps.

She supported the carriage with one hand and managed to keep her balance.

"Are you ok?"

I don’t know if it was my illusion, but a hoarse and somewhat charming voice appeared in my ears.

Shen Wantang turned her head in surprise, and the man's handsome face appeared in front of her.

"Cen Xiao!?"

One side of Shen Wantang's face was badly swollen, not much better than the swelling on her face caused by almond allergy at the palace banquet that day.

"Your face..." Cen Xiao's voice trembled violently. He stared at her face with a sinister look, and there was an inexplicable anger in his eyes.

Being stared at like this, Shen Wantang noticed the emotions in Cen Xiao's eyes. A dull pain arose in her heart, and she covered her face and ran to the carriage.

"Hey!" Cen Xiao hadn't come to his senses yet, but the carriage beside him was still driving away.

It was already evening when we returned to the general's mansion.

Shen Wantang was really exhausted after all the trouble today.

She dragged her tired body back to the room and was about to close her eyes to rest for a while, but as soon as she closed her eyes, she saw Ji Xunchuan's disguised face and that evil smile.

Shen Wantang opened his eyes in panic, sat up abruptly, and breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that he was not dead.

At that moment, there was a series of knocks on the door.

"Miss, someone is here to deliver something to you." The maid outside the door said softly.

Someone is delivering something?

It must not be Ji Xunchuan. Anything sent by the emperor is a reward, and the whole family always has to wait there respectfully to welcome it.

Shen Wantang took out a handkerchief and wiped away the tiny beads of sweat on his forehead.

After opening the door, the maid handed something up - a box.

Shen Wantang opened the box, which was filled with bottles and jars. She picked up a bottle and saw the words on it - Golden Wound Medicine.

"Who sent this?" Shen Wantang frowned slightly and turned to ask the maid.

"The visitor didn't say who he was, he just said it was for the young lady." Facing Shen Wantang's eye attack, the maid stammered.

Even though the visitor didn't want to say who it was, Shen Wantang had already guessed it almost exactly.
