Now that you're reborn, who would still keep a mistress for their scumbag husband?

After receiving the imperial edict, Xie Jinzhao was speechless.

Lu Changyuan's mood was also complicated.

There were also people from the palace who came to announce the decree.

After Lu Changyuan dismissed his attendants, he asked the eunuch, "Is this what my aunt meant?"

The eunuch said, "Your Excellency guessed correctly. The Empress meant that the Duke and General Yun should have had a tacit understanding. On the way to Southern Shu, they should have taken care of each other. If General Yun could appreciate the Duke's kindness, they would surely be able to reconcile in the future."

Lu Changyuan sighed in his heart. His aunt didn't know that Xie Jinzhao no longer had him in her heart.

If he still followed Xie Jinzhao to Nanshu, Xie Jinzhao would despise him. However, Lu Changyuan was unwilling to give up this opportunity.

As long as Xie Jinzhao is still willing to be with him, Feng Ye Tinghai and Changliu Pavilion will obviously be able to become a help to the Duke Dingguo's Mansion in the future. Thinking of this, Lu Changyuan was full of confidence again.

Compared with the future of Duke Dingguo's Mansion, what does it matter if he swallows his anger and endures humiliation?

Besides, he and Xie Jinzhao had been an unmarried couple for many years, and they had never even held hands twice, let alone done anything else. Thinking of her hot body, Lu Changyuan really felt that he was at a disadvantage.

"I will definitely not let you down. How is your health?" Lu Changyuan asked.

The eunuch was worried. "It snowed two days before we went to the capital. Since the weather turned cold, the queen's health has been much worse than before. We asked the imperial physician for a consultation, but the result was not very good. The queen said that if she could ask Yanzhijian to help, maybe she would get better."

Lu Changyuan understood, "Go back and tell the Queen that I will do my best. After the matter of Nanshu is settled this time, I will bring the Rouge Sword back to treat my aunt."

"The Queen said that the Madam's illness cannot be delayed. If we can get Rouge Sword to give us a diagnosis, it would be fine if the imperial doctors could take her pulse and prescribe medicine," said the eunuch.

Lu Changyuan thought of Doctor Wu. When he didn't know that Xie Jinzhao was the Rouge Sword, he always suggested that Xie Jinzhao have a consultation with him, but he refused.

Later, he found out that Xie Jinzhao was the Rouge Sword, and that the Duke Dingguo's Mansion had offended Imperial Doctor Wu to death.

When it comes to treating illnesses, the doctor has to be willing to do it. Even if he knew that Imperial Doctor Wu had learned a trick from Yanzhi Jian, he would not dare to ask Imperial Doctor Wu to come again, and it was impossible for Imperial Doctor Wu to visit the Duke Dingguo's Mansion again.

All of this was caused by Dou Miaojin, that bitch. He had been smart all his life, but he was schemed against so cruelly by a bitch.

Dou Miaojin actually dared to get pregnant with his child!

Lu Changyuan was filled with hatred and evil. He called his attendant and ordered him to return to the capital.

After Xie Jinzhao came down from the banquet, she went back to the side room where she and Ling Jinglan lived. Along the way, Ling Jinglan didn't say a word. She was as aggrieved as a little wife, and as unhappy as a little tail, hanging behind Xie Jinzhao.

Because she is going to go to the battlefield, Xie Jinzhao is now very busy, and the people from the Lan family are still waiting for her outside.

"Yue Wenqian, go talk to Mu Yong on my behalf. Wang Xu is in his hands. Tell him that I don't want to partner with Lu Changyuan either. No matter how many contributions I have made on the battlefield of Southern Shu, in the end, there won't be much left for me. If he is willing, he can partner with me."

Yue Wenqian was stunned for a moment, "Commander, are you going to leave such an important matter to me?"

Xie Jinzhao was also stunned for a moment, "Aren't you my man? If I don't leave things to you, do I have to do everything myself?"

Seeing Yue Wenqian still in a daze, Xie Jinzhao smiled and said, "I thought of you having studied and knowing how to read and write..."

Yue Wenqian stood up quickly and said, "Commander, I am willing to help you get this done. But, Commander, is Wang Xu really in Mu Yong's hands?"

He just didn't expect that the commander trusted him so much, it was unbelievable.

"Well, it's almost right." She looked at Ling Jinglan, who reacted a little slowly and nodded.

It was as if fireworks were going off in Ling Jinglan's heart. He seemed to be reading a book, but he didn't understand a single word. It was great that Zhao Zhao was unwilling to go to Nanshu with Lu Changyuan.

On his side, he should also help Zhao Zhao in the court.

Yue Wenqian came to find Mu Yong, and Mu Yong was overjoyed. The two stood and talked for a while, then left.

Turning back, Mu Yong consulted with Zheng Xiong, "Tell me, can you trust what Master Qingxiao said?"

Zheng Xiong pondered for a moment, "This is the only way for now. Can we continue to follow Duke Dingguo to Southern Shu, work for him, and help him gain fame? In the past, what was the fate of those who went to war with him? Can't you and I see clearly?"

Mu Yong stroked his chin, "Well, that makes sense! However, Master Qingxiao is a member of King Zhuang's faction. If we get close to him, we will be classified as King Zhuang's faction in the future."

Zheng Xiong said, "Have you ever thought about this? If we offend Duke Dingguo, we will not be able to get away with anything good from the Crown Prince, the Second Prince, or the Third Prince in the future."

Mu Yong patted Zheng Xiong on the shoulder and said, "Let's do it this way!"

When Wang Xu was begging in Fufeng County, someone discovered that he was Wang Xu.

After Fu Chuan's men captured him, during the interrogation, everyone could tell from Wang Xu's confession that Wang Xu was let go by Lu Changyuan. The reason why he did not escape in the end was probably because Yun Qingxiao and Fu Chuan were watching him too closely.

But in fact, no one was stupid. They guessed that there must be some internal problems within Duke Dingguo himself, which led to the person being exposed in the end.

Lu Changyuan had never suffered such a loss in his life, so at this moment, he couldn't help but panic.

If it were in the past, he would not be afraid, because he knew very well that no matter what people outside said, it would be useless as long as the emperor believed in him.

But after the incident at Xiaomatan Horse Farm, Lu Changyuan knew that there was a thorn in the emperor's heart, and he could no longer withstand any disturbance.

At nightfall, countless horses ran out of Fufeng County and headed for the capital.

After taking a bath, Xie Jinzhao was standing in front of the window drying her hair. Ling Jinglan came over and took the handkerchief from her hand.

"When will you return to the capital?" Xie Jinzhao was pulled by him to sit on the couch. Ling Jinglan stood beside her and, relying on his height, easily wiped her hair.

"When did I say I was going back to the capital?" The handkerchief in Ling Jinglan's hand was very soft, and it made her feel very comfortable.

"Ah? Are you still following me?" Xie Jinzhao said, and seeing his mysterious smile, he pinched his cheeks with both hands and pulled them away, "Why are you laughing at me? Aren't you going to follow me?"

Ling Jinglan held her hand and said, "Yes, I want to follow you!"

He asked, "Would you like to play a big game of chess?"

Xie Jinzhao looked at him with burning eyes.

Ling Jinglan said, "Let's treat the world as a chessboard and play a big game. I don't want to wait too long. Let's finish this game as soon as possible. In this way, we can be together every day without running around. I want you to eat the porridge I cook and drink the tea I brew every morning, and we can sit in the yard together and watch the sun rise and the moon set."
