The Domineering General and His Post-it Lady

"So the person who escaped as mentioned by the people of the Baoshi Kingdom is really you, Your Majesty? I heard from their interrogation that Your Majesty was injured. Is the injury serious? Let Li Shenning take your pulse!" At this time, Fan Ziren's words brought the emperor back to reality from his thoughts.

As General Fan Ziren's "right-hand man", Li Shenning is not as skilled in martial arts as Xiao Shenk, but his martial arts skills are also at the master level, especially his medical skills.

Li Shenning followed his father to learn medicine since he was a child. At a young age, he inherited his father's keen medical sense and often went up the mountain with his father to collect herbs and study medicine together. When he was 10 years old, he went up the mountain with his father and mother to collect herbs. They encountered enemy soldiers exploring the way. His father and mother hid him behind a tree, and the two ran in different directions to divert the enemy. As a result, they were both killed by the enemy, and Li Shenning was rescued by Fan Ziren's army passing by.

From then on, he followed Fan Ziren in the military camp to learn martial arts and continued to study medicine. Over the years, Li Shenning cured General Fan Ziren's injuries from fighting in battles! Li Shenning has been with Fan Ziren for many years. In addition to gratitude, he also admires Fan Ziren and hopes to be by his side and fight side by side with him!

After Fan Ziren learned the news about the emperor, he hurriedly took Li Shenning with him. In case the emperor was still injured, Li Shenning could also treat him.

So, Li Shenning felt the emperor's pulse and found that the emperor's injury was no longer serious. He reported: "The emperor's injury is no longer serious. He is still a little weak. Return to the palace and take some tonics to replenish your body, and you will recover your vitality!"

Fan Ziren was relieved to hear that the emperor was fine. The empress dowager had just sent someone to inquire about the emperor's whereabouts two days ago. He was quite worried. If something happened to the emperor, he didn't know how to explain to the empress dowager.

Seeing that Li Shen Ning had diagnosed that he was fine, the emperor said, "I was indeed injured at the time. Fortunately, a kind-hearted person saved me. These days, I have been hiding in her house and receiving her careful care. That's why I was able to recover so quickly, and now I am fine!"

Seeing that the emperor attached great importance to the person who saved him, Fan Ziren was a little curious, so he went forward to ask, "Your Majesty, which family saved you? Do you want me to ask Xiao Shen to bring some silver and gifts to thank them?"

The emperor thought: I haven't expressed my feelings to Miss Lou yet! At this time, if I rashly let Fan Ziren go over to give gifts, Miss Lou will not accept it with her personality. However, if her mother-in-law sees the money and doesn't force her to accept it, she may cause trouble, and Miss Lou will be angry. What should I do if she keeps her distance from me from now on? I have to explain it to her in person.

So he said to Fan Ziren, "No, don't bother her. She likes to live a peaceful life. If I rush over to give her gifts now, it will disrupt her peaceful life. It's better to wait until I return to the palace, take care of the affairs, and then find a time to visit her in person."

When Fan Ziren heard that the emperor was going to visit him in person, he felt that the person who saved him was not simple, but as a minister, it was not convenient for him to ask about the emperor's private affairs. So Fan Ziren did not ask any more questions. He, Li Shenning and Xiao Shenke escorted the emperor back to the palace together.

When the empress dowager returned to the palace, she was relieved to hear that the emperor had returned. In the days when the emperor was away, the empress dowager had announced that the emperor was in poor health and could not handle state affairs, so he stayed in the palace to recuperate and did not see anyone, including the concubines. So when they heard that the emperor had recovered, the concubines in the palaces immediately cheered and looked forward to the emperor's favor.

Especially the Queen and Concubine Luo, the two most powerful ladies in the palace, who had always been favored by the Emperor. The Queen was the daughter of a noble brought back to the palace by the Queen Mother. By chance, the Queen Mother was out of the palace and brought the Queen back to the palace. She had been childhood sweethearts with the Emperor and had always been full of admiration for the Emperor!

The empress dowager also kept her in the palace as a candidate for the empress, and she learned various palace etiquette from the palace maids, and was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Perhaps because her parents were not around since she was a child and she lived alone in the palace, although she behaved decently and gracefully in the eyes of outsiders, she had a strong aura in her bones, and sometimes the emperor was afraid of her.

Concubine Luo is the daughter of Minister Luo. She was spoiled by her family since she was a child and had never been beaten or scolded. She learned music, chess, calligraphy and painting since she was a child, entered the palace to participate in garden activities, and was chosen by the emperor to become a concubine. She has a delicate personality, which is in sharp contrast to the toughness of the queen. Sometimes the emperor likes Concubine Luo's coquettish look, but she is arrogant and domineering in private, and will not tolerate others competing with her, not even a grain of sand.

Before this, the Empress and Concubine Luo had heard that the Emperor was ill and were very worried, but the Empress Dowager had ordered that they were not allowed to see the Emperor, so they had to wait for news from the Emperor in their respective palaces.

Upon hearing that the Emperor had recovered, the Empress and Concubine Luo rushed to visit him immediately!

In the past, the Queen and Concubine Luo were like two forces in the palace. Although they seemed to be at peace with each other, they were actually incompatible and competed secretly.

When Concubine Luo saw that the empress had also arrived, she bowed reluctantly and said, "Greetings, Her Majesty!" But she felt disgusted in her heart: This sullen-faced woman, isn't she living a good life on her own? Why does she want to compete with me for the emperor? She can never compare to my tenderness. Later, as long as I act coquettishly towards the emperor, she will have nothing to do with it.

The queen looked at Concubine Luo and her group bowing to her, her lips slightly raised, she looked at her with disdain and said: "Sister, please stand up!" She thought: You bitch, you know how to pretend to be weak and pretentious all day long, and you can't stand listening to those disgusting words! You are just a concubine, I am the master of the six palaces, and sooner or later the emperor will banish you to the cold palace!

Concubine Luo looked at the queen's disdainful eyes and continued, "Sister, the emperor has just recovered, you should stay in the palace to pray for him, and wait for your sister to come!"

When the Queen heard this, she immediately asked, "The Emperor has recovered now, do you still need to pray for him? Do you have any other intentions?"

This black-faced woman is so vicious. She hinted at something after just one sentence. She will always hold on to it and set a trap for me sooner or later. I have to be careful! Let's see how long you can be so powerful. One day, the emperor will banish you to the cold palace and let me sit on your throne! You will be finished! I am forbearing now, but I will definitely return it when I get the chance in the future!

Concubine Luo was secretly happy while thinking about it! The Queen looked at her happy expression and felt inexplicably angry!

The eunuch Li who served the emperor saw the queen and Concubine Luo coming and immediately reported to the emperor!

Ever since the Emperor met Miss Lou, he has been thinking about her and has no intention of favoring other concubines. When he heard that the Queen and Concubine Luo wanted to see him, he had no intention of seeing them and asked Eunuch Li to send them away on the pretext of handling state affairs.

When the Queen and Concubine Luo heard Eunuch Li's message, although they were reluctant and wanted to go in to show their courtesy, they still had to focus on state affairs. They thought that they could be summoned after they had reviewed the memorials quickly, so they all withdrew!

These days, the emperor wanted to go to the Lou Mansion and talk things out with Miss Lou right away, but because he had not been in the palace for some time, he needed to review many memorials and check the interrogation records of the people arrested by the Baoshi people, so he had no time to leave the palace. The emperor thought to himself: I will come to you after I have dealt with these things, Miss Lou, you have to wait for me!
