Family affection? Is it important to have rights?

The graceful curve of Mu Tangxi's mouth paused, and her amber eyes slowly turned to Xu Guangzhu, looking at him quietly and strangely, as pure and unadulterated as glass.

Xu Guangzhu seemed not to notice, "Cousin, your smile reminds me of the smiles of the noble ladies in Beijing, exactly the same!"

Mu Tangxi carefully observed Xu Guangzhu for a long time, and curved her eyes: "After all, my father and mother raised me as a noble lady, and even my smile must be standard and elegant."

Xu Guangzhu nodded repeatedly and agreed: "Indeed, your smile reminds me of the smiles of the Prime Minister and the Prime Minister's wife, as well as your three brothers."

Mu Tangxi nodded calmly: "Because we are a family."

Then the room fell into an unspeakable silence.

But this strange atmosphere was soon broken by soldiers who strode in.

"General Xu is really alive!"

"General Xu, are you a human or a ghost?!"

"Could it be that we are hallucinating because we ate the medicinal food?"

"It's possible!"

Seo Kwang-soo: “…”

In fact, he himself was shocked that he had actually managed to hold on until now.

Xu Guangzhu breathed a sigh of relief. Just now he had a sense of crisis as if he was facing a powerful enemy.

That group of soldiers came and left quickly, saying they were going back to tell their brothers that General Xu was still alive.

Mu Tangxi asked the last soldier who was about to leave the tent: "What happened outside?"

"The Third Prince and General Qi brought some soldiers to fight with General Lu's soldiers. The Third Prince and General Qi also dragged General Lu out, saying that he had harmed General Xu."

"No one believed it before, but they said General Xu is still alive and there is evidence, so we came to take a look."

Mu Tangxi asked the soldiers to leave and started drinking tea.

Finally, it was Seo Kwang-soo who couldn't help but ask, "Do we have evidence to prove that General Lu is a traitor?"

Mu Tangxi replied with the same smile: "It seems not, we only have witnesses."

Xu Guangzhu pointed at himself, "Me? Is there not enough evidence?"

Mu Tangxi encouraged: "You have to believe in yourself. If you fail, General Lu will take revenge."

Xu Guangzhu was silent for who knows how many times. Finally, he asked: "Why didn't Ji Qichen and General Qi just kill General Lu?"

Mu Tangxi glanced at him, smiling, "If General Lu is killed, the Third Prince and General Qi will be blamed. There must be a reason."

"Believe in yourself, but Qi Chen and General Qi have already taken some measures to prevent General Lu from escaping."

……

General Lu was awakened by a loud noise. He frowned and shouted, "It's so noisy! Shut up!"

The noisy sound quieted for a moment, only to grow louder.

Wait, he seemed to have heard the voices of the Third Prince and General Qi?

General Lu forced his eyes open, his head was dizzy and he felt severe pain in his wrists and Achilles tendons.

He reacted slowly and realized that he had been ambushed!

At this time, General Lu finally heard clearly what the Third Prince and General Qi said.

The Third Prince said in a steady voice, "General Lu stabbed General Xu in the back in front of the enemy general on the battlefield, causing General Xu to almost die. Do you know about this?"

General Qi also spoke up: "I took a group of soldiers and took a long detour to sneak into the enemy's base camp, but I didn't expect the enemy to return early. In the end, I was the only one who survived."

"And all this was done by General Lu!"

"He colluded with the enemy general and leaked information!"

The soldiers below were even more noisy, "Impossible! General Lu can't possibly be colluding with the enemy's general!"

As soon as General Lu heard the key words, he suddenly came to his senses.

"Third Prince, General Qi, what are you talking about?" General Lu's voice rang out with suppressed anger.

But neither of them paid any attention to him, only one doctor gave him a cold look? !

As General Lu woke up, the soldiers became more and more confused.

Finally, Shen Qiu pounded the drum hard with an expressionless face, with such force that it seemed as if he was beating an enemy.

The soldiers were instantly shocked into silence, all looking towards the platform.

One of the soldiers with more experience asked first: "Your Highness the Third Prince, General Qi, do you have any evidence for what you said? General Xu died a long time ago. Who can prove that he was killed by General Lu?"

"And treason is no joke! General Lu has lived here for decades, how could he possibly commit treason?!"

General Lu got a headache when he heard this. They both knew about this. Who told them?!

General Lu subconsciously ruled out General Xu, as he believed that General Xu had already become a corpse.

He gritted his teeth and ordered, "Come here, arrest these two!"

For a moment most of the soldiers moved, but then stopped.

Because - Shen Qiu was holding a dagger in front of General Lu's neck.

The soldiers shouted, "Despicable!"

Ji Qichen took a step forward, his aura gradually became stronger, and his eyes changed as well, becoming more...unfathomable.

The soldiers fell silent subconsciously and looked at the Third Prince with wide eyes.

General Qi couldn't help but look at the Third Prince. He looked exactly like His Majesty!

Ji Qichen picked up a bag next to him. It looked very familiar, very similar to the bag around General Lu's waist.

In front of many people, Ji Qichen slowly lifted the cloth, revealing the imperial edict inside.

At this moment, even the soldiers who wanted to stir up trouble did not dare to speak out, because that was an imperial decree!

Even if they had ten times the courage, they wouldn't dare to make trouble!

Ji Qichen slowly unfolded the imperial edict and showed it to the soldiers.

It didn’t matter if the soldiers couldn’t see clearly. Ji Qichen just moved closer and let the soldiers read the contents of the imperial edict carefully.

A soldier who could read read out loud subconsciously: "...Confer Lu Ming the title of Marquis and reward him with ten thousand taels of gold?"

The other soldiers were surprised, and suddenly began to wonder why the Third Prince showed them these.

Your Majesty is willing to confer the title of marquis on General Lu, which is the highest honor!

The Third Prince kidnapped General Lu at this time...

Could it be that... the third prince wants to rebel?

This was all the soldiers could think of.

Seeing the soldiers' reactions, Ji Qichen knew what they were thinking.

He once again thrust the imperial edict in front of the soldier who had just read it out, and reminded him, "Look whose seal it is."

The soldier replied subconsciously: "Seal? If it's not your Majesty's seal, who else could it be..."

The soldier's eyes froze after a casual glance, and he shouted in disbelief: "Isn't this seal the seal of the enemy's emperor! The pattern on it is the same as the pattern on the enemy's flag!"

General Lu was being held hostage by Shen Qiu with a dagger. Seeing this scene, he was almost furious!
