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

Shen Wantang walked forward and placed the kerosene lamp in front of the stone table.

Cen Xiao's gaze followed Shen Wantang closely, with an indescribable ambiguity in his eyes.

"As long as I don't say it and Miss Shen doesn't say it, no one will know that we met tonight." Cen Xiao took out a wine jug from his waist.

The light from the kerosene lamp flickered on Shen Wantang's face, and the darkness under her eyes was clearly visible.

"Miss Shen, would you like some wine? Drink some and you will sleep well." Cen Xiao said calmly.

Shen Wantang raised his chin slightly, with a forbearing expression: "The prince said there is news about the assassin."

Cen Xiao opened the wine jug and the aroma of wine filled his nose. He was not in a hurry and started to guess the riddle with great interest.

"I've heard that Miss Shen is very smart. Why don't you guess who this assassin is?"

Shen Wantang thought about this matter for a long time during the day.

"The two ladies in the palace." she blurted out.

Cen Xiao was surprised for a moment, and a proud smile appeared on his face: "Miss Shen is indeed smart, but you only guessed half right, there is another half."

Shen Wantang naturally understood, but the other half really didn't understand.

The memories of her previous life could only tell her that the Imperial Concubine and the Concubine Shu had backers, but as to who these backers were, she had no idea.

Seeing Shen Wantang's troubled expression, Cen Shen smiled evilly: "Miss Shen, can't you guess it?"

"If the prince doesn't want to tell me, then that's fine. I can check it myself." Shen Wantang said coldly, and stood up and was about to leave.

Seeing Shen Wantang was about to leave, Cen Xiao immediately stood up and took a step forward to block Shen Wantang's way.

"The Concubine's elder brother is the current Prime Minister, Lu Mingfeng."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Wantang raised his eyes, and his eyes trembled.

She should have thought of it earlier. She would be a noble concubine as soon as she entered the palace. The person behind her must be a senior official in the court. However, there was one thing Shen Wantang couldn't figure out...

"The imperial concubine takes her mother's surname and was raised in her maternal grandparents' home since childhood. No one in the court knows her identity." Cen Xiao said.

It turned out to be the case.

Prime Minister Lu is not the type of person who can be led by others. Now that he has sent people to assassinate Shen Wantang, it seems that he has really decided to take action against the General's Mansion.

It doesn’t matter. As long as they are on Ji Xunchuan’s side, they are all Shen Wantang’s opponents. One more or one less doesn’t really matter.

"What are you thinking about?"

Cen Xiao stared at Shen Wantang in front of him, and the ridicule in his eyes turned into tenderness.

This look...

Shen Wantang's heart started to panic, and inexplicable tears fell.

Even though General Cen was usually extremely calm even if the sky fell, he was now flustered by a tear from the woman in front of him.

"Miss Shen..." There was shock in his eyes, and even his voice was a little flustered.

Shen Wantang lowered his eyes and pretended to be calm: "It's late, Prince, please go back early."

Shen Wantang walked away sideways and raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Under the oil lamp, the girl's sad back swayed with the flames.

In a trance, a tear ran down Cen Xiao's cheek - why did he feel such an inexplicable heartache?

The next morning, Shen Wantang woke up early.

Qing'e pushed the door open and came in: "Miss."

Shen Wantang slowly opened his eyes, and as he turned over, he felt an inexplicable pain in his heart...

Qing'e came forward and exclaimed: "Miss, you...are you crying?"

Shen Wantang's eyelashes flickered, and she lowered them to hide the sadness in her eyes.

"I had a bad dream last night..." Her voice was a little hoarse.

Qing'e reached out and helped her off the bed: "I'll get you some soothing medicine today."

Shen Wantang didn't say anything, just nodded.

"Where's Daddy?" Shen Wantang asked after washing up.

"The master has already gone to the military camp." Qing'e responded.

The war is no longer serious, so why do the generals still have to go to the military camp for training?

In addition, Cen Xiao went to the suburbs for training some time ago. Could it be that he is going to use troops again?

Shen Wantang's heart tightened, and the haze in his eyes blocked out the sunlight - it seemed that it was necessary to go to the military camp to take a look.

After a quick breakfast, she changed into her training uniform, tied her hair up high, mounted her horse, and galloped towards the military camp.

"I think His Majesty means that this important task should be handed over to us."

In the military camp, several soldiers gathered in General Shen's room.

Looking at the urgent report from the army, General Shen seemed to be thinking about something.

"General, in my opinion, this is a good opportunity to make a contribution. The soldiers are waiting for this opportunity to do great things!" One of them stood up and spoke in a rough voice, lingering in his ears.

"Yes, yes." The people next to them also responded.

General Shen raised his hand and frowned: "No."

This refusal puzzled everyone.

"We are only familiar with fighting on plains. This time we are going to a mountain city, and we have no combat experience at all." General Shen frowned.

"How difficult is that? As long as I remember the terrain by heart, it will be easy." A young man next to him stood up and patted his chest.

It turns out that you are still too young and naive.

"The mountainous terrain is complicated. Even if you have memorized the topographic map, do you understand the caves in the mountains and the entrances next to them?" General Shen retorted, frowning.

As soon as the words fell, everyone who had been eager to try fell silent.

The front hall suddenly became quiet, and the few people who had been making the loudest noise just now became like quails.

"Father." Shen Wantang hurried over.

"As for the matter in Shancheng, you must not go." Shen Wantang spoke hurriedly, not hiding the anxiety in his eyes.

Hearing this, everyone was puzzled again and their eyes turned to Shen Wantang.

They were worrying about not being able to achieve anything, and now a little girl came, giving them the opportunity to get angry.

"What have military affairs got to do with a little girl like you? How can you criticize the affairs of the court?" One of the more experienced generals blurted out, without caring about the face of General Shen standing next to him.

Just like before, as soon as one person spoke, the people around him began to refute.

Shen Wantang was not discouraged and spoke calmly: "Generals, if you want to die, Wantang will definitely not stop you."

Snapped!

A slap landed on the table nearby, causing the teacups to clink.

"The imperial edict arrives——"

Outside the military camp, a voice stopped the tense atmosphere in the room.

General Ye, who was so angry that he was fuming, gritted his teeth and pointed at Shen Wantang fiercely: "The imperial edict has come. If you have the ability, then disobey it!"

In the military camp, all the soldiers knelt down. Shen Wantang followed behind his father, his heart beating fast.

The battle of the mountain city is bound to be disastrous. If this task really falls on the Shen family, it seems that she will not be able to wear this armor for a few days.

The eunuch was high above him, and beads of sweat had already appeared on Shen Wantang's forehead.

"It's too late to come down!"
