The system extends my life, and all my husbands want me to be the empress

Early morning on the second day.

In the solemn and majestic court, ministers were discussing state affairs with solemn expressions, waiting for His Majesty Lin Moyun to arrive for the morning court.

At this moment, there was a commotion outside the Golden Palace. The ministers turned their heads in confusion and saw three people walking side by side into the court.

The noisy discussions suddenly stopped, and everyone stood there in a daze as if they were under a spell.

Staring closely at the three people who walked into the Golden Palace.

One of them was General Wang Luda! He had not yet taken off his armor, and the fatigue on his face was hard to hide, but he still showed his determination.

One of them was Major General Lu Mu! His hair was a little messy, and the corners of his clothes were stained with some dust from the road.

The last person turned out to be Princess An Ning, Lin Wanwan, who was supposed to be assassinated! The princess's gorgeous clothes were stained with a few wisps of dust, and her delicate makeup could not hide her tiredness, but her eyes were shining with determination.

The ministers could tell from their dusty appearance that these three people had not even returned to their homes to rest and wash up, but had rushed to attend the morning court in a hurry.

Lin Wanwan ignored everyone's gaze and looked at the arrow wound on Lu Mu's back. After so many days, the wound didn't seem to be fully healed yet, so she said:

"Lu Mu. The conditions in Pingyang City are poor. Let's go back home first and treat the wound and find a royal doctor to treat it."

Lu Mu hesitated and was about to say something.

Wang Luda also said: "The princess is right, don't worry, Yifu will not take away your credit."

Lu Mu smiled and said, "Yifu misunderstood."

Then, Lu Mu turned his gaze to Lin Wanwan who was standing beside him.

Wang Luda looked at him and said firmly, "Don't worry, your foster father will take care of the princess's safety for you. You can go back and heal your wounds first."

Seeing that his foster father had said this, Lu Mu could only bow and say, "Foster father, Princess, I will leave first."

After saying that, Lu Mu turned around and left the court. He walked a few steps and then turned back, looking at Lin Wanwan: "Princess, I will pick you up from the court and take you back home."

Lin Wanwan said, "Don't worry, Qingqing has already returned to the Princess's Mansion, and Nanny Li will definitely send a sedan chair over. You should take care of your health first."

Hearing this, Lu Mu said, "I can ride a horse and come and go quickly. Princess, wait for me."

All the ministers looked at the two of them, and they all felt that the princess had a close relationship with General Lu Mu.

Lin Wanwan nodded.

Lu Mu smiled and then turned and left.

At this time, Prime Minister Su Mingde stepped into the Golden Palace and saw Lin Wanwan at a glance.

"Princess!" Su Mingde took a few quick steps forward, his face full of anxiety and expectation, and asked hurriedly:

"Princess! Where is my son Su Yeren? How is he doing?"

Lin Wanwan looked at him and said softly, "Prime Minister, Su Ye is fine."

"Oh! That's great, that's great..." Su Mingde patted his chest after hearing that. The heart that had been hanging in the air for the past few days finally fell to the ground. "Where is he?"

Lin Wanwan continued: "Su Ye has not come back. He said he wants to stay in Pingyang City and do something for the people."

"What?!" Su Mingde was shocked. "He stayed in Pingyang City? When will he come back?"

Lin Wanwan continued, "He said he would be back in three months. Prime Minister, rest assured. I have left six guards from the Ministry of Justice to protect him."

Hear this.

Su Mingde nodded heavily and began to mutter to himself: "Three months, yeah. Okay, three months."

Then he thought of what the princess had just said, that Su Ye stayed there for the people of Pingyang City, and tears instantly flowed across his weathered face.

Su Mingde trembled his lips and murmured to himself: "Okay, okay, Su Ye has this intention, okay..."

He wiped his tears with his sleeves, his eyes full of relief and gratitude: "Princess, it's good that Su Ye can stay in Pingyang City. It can give him more experience."

At this moment, Ouyang Qingyu saw Lin Wanwan's figure from afar outside the Golden Palace. His eyes were instantly lit up, and his deep eyes were full of longing.

He took a few steps forward and was about to say hello when he heard Lin Wanwan say:

"Prime Minister, this princess wants to marry Su Ye, what do you think?"

Su Mingde immediately said, "Okay, I've figured it out these few days. As long as Su Ye is fine, anything is fine. In a few days, after the court session, I will move all of Su Ye's dowry to the Princess's Mansion."

Lin Wanwan lowered her eyes and smiled: "Don't worry, don't worry, let's wait until Su Ye comes back."

Ouyang Qingyu stood there in a daze for a moment. Every move and every word of Lin Wanwan hit his heart.

He couldn't help but clench his fists: Princess, she wants to marry Su Ye.

His heart was so excited just now that he couldn't utter a word of the words that were on his lips.

He looked at Lin Wanwan.

Lin Wanwan noticed his gaze and looked up at him.

What Ouyang Qingyu could still feel was that sense of alienation.

"Your Majesty has arrived~~to attend the court~~"

The ministers returned to their seats and began the morning court session.

Ouyang Qingyu stood beside Lin Wanwan, his eyes fell on her. She seemed thinner than before.

Lin Moyun was sitting on the high dragon throne. When he saw Lin Wanwan, his eyes suddenly widened and the memorial that he was holding tightly in his hand fell down.

He stared at her in disbelief, unable to speak for a moment. It took him a long time to come back to his senses, and he put his hands on the table:

"Minister Lin? You...are back?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Wanwan stepped out and saluted, her voice as light as pearls falling on a jade plate:

"Your Majesty, I was assassinated by a villain and barely escaped death. Fortunately, God has mercy on me and I was able to return to the court."

Lin Moyun's face darkened instantly, and then, his eyes blazed with anger. He slammed the armrest of the dragon chair and roared:

"Who is so bold as to assassinate the princess?"

The entire court was shrouded in His Majesty's anger. The atmosphere was extremely tense, as if even the air had frozen. No one dared to speak.

The most feared one is the second prince Lin Xiaoran. Lin Wanwan is not dead!

Lin Xiaoran tried hard to stay calm. He felt beads of sweat falling from his temples and onto the ground. He then pretended to move a step casually and covered the drop of sweat with his foot.

He could even imagine Lin Meihua going crazy after hearing the news.

Lin Xiaohe's eyes were always on Lin Wanwan, and he was very interested in what she would say next.

The third prince Lin Gao laughed secretly in his heart. He actually hoped that it was Lin Xiaohe who did it. After all, he married Ye Sisi, and he hoped that Lin Xiaohe would be able to step down from the position of crown prince because of this incident.

Everyone's eyes were on Lin Wanwan. Her face was calm but she could not hide her determination. She still bowed slightly and saluted. Her voice was cold and firm:

"Your Majesty, I, the Minister of Works, Lin Wanwan, will report today the whole story of what happened in Pingyang City."

Lin Moyun nodded and said, "Okay, tell me quickly."

Lin Wanwan bowed: "Pingyang City is indeed hot during the day and cold at night, and the people are particularly poor. In order to survive the winter, they plant cotton to keep warm and rice to fill their stomachs, but the harvest is getting worse year by year.

In Pingyang City, Luo Mingyuan, a big cotton grower, is kind-hearted and unwilling to sell his cotton fields to the black-hearted trader Qian Wanguan at a low price. Qian Wanguan colluded with Zhang Xiaodi, the mayor of Pingyang City, to persecute Luo Mingyuan and abuse his power for personal gain.

After I arrived, I killed Qian Wanguan and imprisoned Zhang Xiaodi. I had intended to report back to Your Majesty and then deal with him, but who knew that he was collaborating with the enemy and betraying his country, which led to the invasion of the Purple Gold Country's army.

Fortunately, General Wang and General Lu arrived in time, otherwise, I would be in great danger."

Upon hearing this, Wang Luda hurriedly stepped out and saluted: "Your Majesty, I dare not take credit for it. In front of us, Major General Lu Mu led the elite troops to fight bravely, and in the back, Minister Ouyang made a brilliant plan to repel the enemy."

As soon as Wang Luda finished speaking, there was an uproar in the court. The ministers whispered to each other and discussed the matter.

Lin Moyun's face was gloomy and he turned his gaze to Ouyang Qingyu.

Ouyang Qingyu did not back down and met Lin Moyun's gaze frankly.

Lin Moyun then slammed the armrest of the dragon chair and shouted angrily:

"Such treacherous people are so bold and reckless. They are collaborating with the enemy and selling out their country. Their crime is unforgivable!"

Lin Xiaohe stepped out of the line, bowed and said, "Father, please calm down. This matter needs to be discussed in the long run. The situation in Pingyang City is critical now. The most urgent task is to stabilize the people's hearts and strengthen the city's defense."

Lin Wanwan continued to salute and said, "It's not Pingyang City that is in danger, but the extremely cowardly city lords of Xuanyue Country who are collaborating with the enemy and betraying their country.

"I once sent guards to Pingjin City to ask for help, but Pingjin City did not send troops. There is too much disunity among the cities!"

In addition, the city lord Zhang Xiaodi and the defender Jiang Jie were both killed by the enemy in the Battle of Pingyang."

At this time, Wang Luda on the side expressed his deep agreement!

The princess has an interested look and can see right to the point when she sees problems!

He suddenly remembered what happened before and bowed again:

“Your Majesty, I forgot to mention earlier that the biggest reason for the crisis in Baiyang City this time was the Rihe City and Yunxi City bordering Zijin Country. The lords of these two cities surrendered without a fight.

I have brought them back to Kyoto City, please let Your Majesty decide their fate."

Lin Moyun snorted coldly: "People like this don't deserve to die. Let them be tortured to death!"

Baiyang City?! Lin Wanwan lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then looked at Wang Luda and asked, "Did Ye Zhan, the Lord of Baiyang City, hold the city? Did he not surrender?"

Wang Luda shook his head and said bluntly: "No."

Lin Wanwan looked doubtful. How could Ye Zhan be so courageous?

Lin Moyun nodded and praised: "Good! This Ye Zhan is very good! The twelve cities should take the city lord like Ye Zhan as an example!"

Lin Moyun became happier as he spoke. The corners of his mouth turned up in a satisfied smile as he looked at the court officials.

Afterwards, he paced back and forth excitedly. Ye Sisi had just married Lin Xiaohe not long ago. Now was a good time to reward Ye Zhan, increase the power of the Ye family, and increase the influence of Crown Prince Lin Xiaohe.

“The Crown Prince got married not long ago, and Ye Zhan is the elder brother of the Crown Princess Ye Sisi. He is also a man of integrity and should be a role model for the City Lord.

Pass the order down and let Ye Zhan take charge of Yunxi City as well."

Su Mingde stepped out and saluted, saying, "Your Majesty, the twelve cities of Xuanyue Country are all governed by the city lords themselves. There has never been a precedent of a city lord governing two cities."

Lin Moyun did not answer Su Mingde's words, but continued to follow the flow and looked at Lin Xiaohe beside him: "Is Ye Zhan still in Kyoto City?"

Lin Xiaohe nodded: "Yes."

"Okay." Lin Moyun said, "Well, General Wang has made great military achievements. I plan to hold a celebration banquet in the palace in three days. Prince, please notify Ye Zhan to attend."

Su Mingde returned to the queue silently.

Lin Xiaohe saluted and said, "Yes, Father."

Lin Wanwan's eyes turned dark and she remained silent.

Ouyang Qingyu did not say another word.

Wang Luda retorted: “Your Majesty, Baiyang City is very important. If Ye Zhan is allowed to manage two cities, what if the Purple Gold Country invades…”

Lin Moyun then narrowed his eyes slightly, interrupted Wang Luda with a smile and said:

"General Wang, you don't know yet, right? The Purple Gold Country has already signed a fifty-year agreement of peaceful coexistence with the Xuan Yue Country.

I won't offend you again."
