After crossing over, I was favored by the villain

Jin Yan never had the courage to open Jin Xi's letter until three days later, when Yuchuan led his team back to the capital, bringing only a deputy general with him to the palace to report.

In the hall, the news of General Yuchuan's triumphant return had already spread throughout the country. Prime Minister Meng did not fail in his mission. Within just three days, he found all the missing pieces in the national treasury, returned all the embezzled silver, and confiscated the residences of several high-ranking officials, thus adding more money to the national treasury.

Just after Jin Yan rewarded Prime Minister Meng and Ruan Ning for their efficiency, news came that General Yuchuan had entered the palace.

"Your Majesty, General Yuchuan has arrived at the city gate."

Jin Yan was overjoyed, "Hurry up and announce it!"

"General Xuan Yuchuan will come to the palace to see the emperor."

After waiting for a while, Yuchuan took off his armor and walked in. In the hall, all the officials cast their eyes on him. The moment Yuchuan saw Jin Yan, his eyes were full of joy. He almost forgot that Jin Yan was no longer the lively girl. Now she showed the aura of a superior, high and mighty, solemn and rigorous.

Yuchuan threw his clothes and kowtowed, "Your Majesty, long live our king."

Jin Yan quickly stepped down from the dragon chair and personally helped Yu Chuan up, "General Chuan, long time no see."

Yuchuan was startled, and quickly took a half step back and stood up, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Jin Yan saw his doubts and quickly said, "Come here, please give me a seat."

After watching Yu Chuan take his seat, Jin Yan asked, "How is General Chuan these days?"

Yuchuan didn't dare to look directly at Jin Yan's gaze, "Your Majesty, everything is fine."

Jin Yan understood that the changes that happened in such a short period of time would cause all previous friendships to be suppressed under power. This was also the main reason why she did not want to recognize Jin Yujue according to the original owner's identity.

After she glanced at Yuchuan for a few times, she was helped back to the throne by the maid, "General Yuchuan has made great contributions in repelling the enemy, and he deserves a reward."

The maid took the prepared imperial edict and began to read it. Ten thousand taels of gold, a thousand pieces of cloth, and pensions for the sacrificed soldiers were all given to Yuchuan without exception.

Yuchuan just stole a glance at Jin Yan and said in a low voice, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

[Are you still so distant? ]

Ruan Ning was confused. She looked at Yuchuan beside her. Although he was handsome, he did not look like a general. More like a high-ranking official. He was completely different from the rough and casual soldier in Zitan Pavilion.

How could Yuchuan have undergone such amazing changes during this period of time?

Yuchuan felt Ruan Ning's gaze and when he looked over, Ruan Ning nodded slightly without being humble or arrogant. Yuchuan also nodded in return.

Jin Yan sighed softly, "General Chuan, are you injured on this trip?"

Yuchuan stood up and said, "Your Majesty, no."

Jin Yan paused, and seeing that he had no other words to say, he said, "I have known General Chuan for many years. Now that you have returned victoriously, I must have a good chat with you."

Yuchuan was about to refuse, but Ruan Ning said, "Your Majesty, the princess's residence has just tried a new dish. How about inviting General Chuan to the princess's residence to taste the new dish together?"

Jin Yan raised an eyebrow, "Okay."

Ruan Ning was overjoyed, "Then I will go back and let them know."

After Jin Yan nodded, Ruan Ning left first. After Yuchuan and Jin Yan looked at each other for a moment, the words of rejection were still choked in his throat.

Yuchuan sat aside, listening to the ministers in the hall talking about the national conditions and reporting on state affairs. Jin Yan gave countermeasures and directions one by one. It can be seen that Jin Yan does have the potential to lead the country towards a more prosperous future, and his original intention was to bring Jin Yan back, back to the Rosewood Pavilion.

However, on the way back, it was obvious that the people supported the new emperor. In just a few months, there were already songs praising the new emperor, and even storytellers passing by had begun telling stories about the new emperor.

It seems that this country needs her.

Until the end of the morning court, Yukawa did not express any opinions, but sat in his seat thinking about his purpose.

When Jin Yan changed into casual clothes and appeared in front of him, Yu Chuan regained consciousness and saluted, "Jin...ah, Your Majesty."

Jin Yan hurriedly helped him up, "General Chuan, there's no need to be so polite between you and me."

Is that polite? Yuchuan chuckled and said, "Now that you are the ruler of a country, you should do so."

Seeing him like this, Jin Yan didn't say much, "Forget it, don't let Ning'er wait too long."

After saying that, she motioned Yuchuan to follow her, and she walked towards the Princess's Mansion.

In the princess's mansion, Ruan Ning prepared lunch. Knowing that the Fu Hu Army loved wine, he did not forget those soldiers of the Fu Hu Army and arranged them in a separate courtyard to avoid offending the emperor.

"The Holy One has arrived."

The people at the door spread the rumor, and Ruan Ning hurried out to greet them, "Your Highness."

"No need to be polite. Since we are already in my own home, there is no need to be polite."

Ruan Ning hurriedly greeted them, "Your Majesty, please come in. General Chuan, please come in."

After the few people sat down, Ruan Ning took the initiative to dismiss his attendants and asked them to wait outside the door. He simply ate a few bites and then left the room, leaving time and space for the two of them.

After Yuchuan drank a few cups, he looked up and asked, "Jin Yan..." He chuckled, "Can I still call you that?"

Jin Yan smiled and filled his glass with wine. "General Chuan is joking."

Yuchuan looked at the full glass of wine and realized that she couldn't go back. "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Jin Yan then stated his purpose, "General Chuan, since we have arrived in Fengtian Kingdom, why not let the Fuhu Army stay? I remember that I promised the Fuhu Army that they would come to Fengtian Kingdom to make a name for themselves. Now I have fulfilled my promise."

Yuchuan sneered, raised his head, and drank the wine in the glass. "There are constant wars on the border, and the new emperor has been busy with the affairs of the court for several months since he ascended the throne. But Your Majesty, what about your own affairs?"

Jin Yan raised his eyebrows and asked in confusion, "My own business? What is it?"

Yuchuan frowned, "Have you forgotten about the Rosewood Pavilion?"

Jin Yan chuckled and said, "Of course I won't forget. I developed Zitan Pavilion by myself, and I also made friends with the Five Saints and General Chuan. No matter what, I will never forget Zitan Pavilion's teachings to me."

Yuchuan paused, then looked up at Jin Yan, "Then...what about your master Feng Hanyun?"

Hearing this name, Jin Yan's chest was shaken, and a stabbing pain suddenly came over her. She covered her chest to ease the pain for a long time before she spoke, "My master? Master?"

The more she muttered, the more pain she felt radiating from her chest, and the pain was so intense that she almost couldn't breathe.

Yuchuan panicked when he saw this, "Jin Yan? What's wrong with you? Jin Yan?"

Jin Yan's vision became increasingly blurred, as if a certain scene in her memory was shattered, making her dare not mention that name, that figure, or even that person again.

Ruan Ning heard the noise and rushed in. Seeing Jin Yan's pale face, he hurriedly called for the imperial physician. Jin Yan did not ask the question in his mind until he fainted. Yuchuan was also confused. He stood there in a daze as he watched Ruan Ning's men take Jin Yan away.

Jin Yan...forgot Feng Hanyun?
