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

"I am a person of low status and I was looked down upon in Rong State. Miss Shen should not target me."

Lian Zhao smiled teasingly, then stood up and was about to flee from the Shen Mansion.

He originally wanted to exchange some information with Shen Wantang, but he almost got himself involved.

Lian Zhao took a deep breath, opened the window and was about to leave.

"Your Highness is determined to endure hardships, and I admire you. Today, I swear in the name of my deceased mother that I will agree to one condition of Your Highness without compensation, even if it means sacrificing my life!"

Shen Wantang cried out shrilly, stopping Lian Zhao from leaving.

Lian Zhao paused for a moment.

He turned around slowly and looked at the woman kneeling in front of him.

She is willing to take risks.

With his inner ambition pounding, Lian Zhao remained silent for a long time.

"I hope you can keep your promise." He let out a long sigh, responded, and then left the Shen Mansion and disappeared into the night.

Hearing that there was no sound in the room, Qing'e hurried over.

Seeing Shen Wantang limp on the ground, Qing'e felt anxious: "Miss, you, you just got better."

Shen Wantang grabbed Qing'e's hand and forced herself to stand up. The moonlight shone on her falling tears. She raised her head and prayed to God to keep Zhenbei Hou safe.

The next day, in the court hall.

"Your Highness Kong Xiang from the Censorate is reporting to General Shen for not teaching his daughter the right way and not cultivating his moral integrity!"

The sound of the report drew everyone's attention to General Shen.

General Shen had nothing much to say about this matter. He walked forward slowly, and even when he knelt down, he did not bend his strong bones.

The news that Shen Wantang had rejected the Queen Mother caused an uproar throughout the capital. Moreover, the news came from the palace, so how could Ji Xunchuan not know about it.

He raised his eyebrows, looked at Kong Xiang, and said quietly: "Why do you say that, my dear?"

"Now, the news that General Shen's daughter Shen Wantang rejected the Queen Mother has spread all over the capital. Shen Wantang has disregarded the reputation of the royal family. It seems that she must have received a lot of true teachings from General Shen."

As he spoke, Kong Xiang glanced at General Shen with a mocking look.

"Your Majesty's family affairs are national affairs. Now that Your Majesty has no children, there is no one to take over the government of our country. Now Shen Wantang cannot share the worries of His Majesty and the country. How can we call him a loyal minister and a good general!"

As soon as the words fell, everyone in the hall looked around and sighed.

Ji Xunchuan's probing gaze fell on General Shen again.

General Shen remained silent, kneeling beside with his eyes blew, and looking at his expression, he seemed to be ready to die.

"I request that General Shen be dismissed from his post!" Kong Xiang shouted loudly, then kowtowed and fell to the ground.

Xia Huai'en, who couldn't bear to listen any longer, stepped forward with the court board in hand.

"His Majesty……"

But before he could utter a word, a loud voice like a bell drowned out his voice.

"His Majesty!"

Cen Xiao stepped forward slowly from the crowd and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, the border war is tense right now. If you dismiss General Shen, you will have no one to use by your side, which is not worth it."

Hearing Cen Xiao speak, Kong Xiang, who was standing beside him, was furious. He stepped forward and shouted angrily, "Master Cen, interrupting others like this, aren't you being a little arrogant?"

Cen Xiao sneered, slowly tilted his head, looked at Kong Xiang with disdain, and then said: "Master Kong interrupted me, so you think you are well-mannered?"

"you!"

This one sentence left Kong Xiang speechless.

But this is nothing. Cen Xiao pulled up a sneer at the corner of his mouth: "Lord Kong is plotting against the Shen family because he sees that there is no one around His Majesty and wants to lose the border city to Rongguo?"

"Master Kong, you care so much about Rongguo, isn't it..."

Cen Xiao dragged out the last syllable of his voice, raised his eyebrows and looked at Kong Xiang.

"Cen Xiao, you are slandering me!"

Kong Xiang instantly became anxious, grabbed the chopping board in his hand and prepared to hit Cen Xiao.

But Cen Xiao was no pushover. He calmly grabbed Kong Xiang's arm with one hand and turned his wrist. With a click, Kong Xiang's miserable cry was heard in the hall.

Everyone was so frightened that they dared not speak, and even Ji Xunchuan, who was sitting on the dragon throne, had a grim expression on his face.

"I was too harsh just now. Sir Kong, please don't take it personally with a warrior like me."

Cen Xiao smiled calmly, then let go of his hand. Kong Xiang's whole body collapsed to the ground, and the wailing in his mouth still did not stop.

"Your Majesty, I am an official appointed by the imperial court. Now Cen Xiao dares to humiliate me in front of you. I will not live any longer!"

Kong Xiang cried bitterly.

boom!

A loud bang was heard throughout the Taiji Hall, and everyone fell to their knees.

The teacups were broken into pieces all over the floor, and Ji Xunchuan stared at the people in the hall with a stern face.

The eunuch at the side said quietly: "Take Lord Kong away and let the imperial physician take a good look at him."

"My dear ministers, do you have anything else to say?"

After a long silence, Ji Xunchuan finally spoke softly.

Everyone was silent. Ji Xunchuan suddenly stood up, waved his sleeves and angrily said, "Dismiss the court!"

"Urgent border report!"

A hurried voice came over, and Ji Xunchuan's footsteps paused.

In this case, we can only leave the court later.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty. The Marquis of Zhenbei has chased the enemy for three thousand miles, killed the enemy generals with his own hands, and recaptured the three cities occupied by the Rong Kingdom!"

As soon as the words were spoken, everyone's eyes fixed on him, and they looked around in disbelief.

Ji Xunchuan also frowned: "Didn't they say that the Marquis of Zhenbei was trapped in the quicksand?"

"The Marquis of Zhenbei spread false information, and thus escaped the enemy's pursuit. Marquis Cen led his people to fight to the death, and with the help of both inside and outside forces, they wiped out the enemy in one fell swoop!"

As he finished speaking, a trace of barely perceptible panic flashed across Ji Xunchuan's eyes.

Then he laughed heartily and said repeatedly: "Good! Good! You are worthy of being the Marquis of Zhenbei, worthy of being the God of War of Mobei!"

Seeing the change in tone, everyone kowtowed and thanked him: "Congratulations, Your Majesty. Congratulations, Your Majesty."

After the court was dismissed, Cen Xiao walked alone in front.

There were occasional sighing sounds coming from behind.

"I think he can only rely on his military achievements as the Marquis of Zhenbei to show off his power in the capital for a few days."

"Who said it wasn't? His Majesty suppressed the incident of him causing trouble in the court today, but there's no guarantee that he won't bring it up again someday. By then, even if he wants to show off his power by relying on his father, I'm afraid he won't be able to do so!"

Cen Xiao stopped walking, turned around suddenly, stared at the people behind him with hawk-like eyes, and pulled up a chilling smile: "My colleagues, why don't you come to me and tell me these words one by one?"

Looking at Cen Xiao's creepy smile, several people turned around and left without looking back.

"You cowardly fellow are only fit to gossip about others behind their backs." Cen Xiao clenched his teeth and sneered in a low voice.

"You acted too impulsively today. If you continue to act recklessly in the future, I'm afraid no one will dare to help you."
