It's all ruined, who cares about the chastity arch

"I have decided! In the future, my daughter Xixi will rule Nanjing. If she agrees, all resources in the entire northern region will belong to her. If she is unwilling to manage this land, then as an alternative, I will give her the most elite force in the country, the Weilong Army, as a bodyguard. With such an impeccable army protecting her, no one can pose a threat to her."

In fact, the army that Gu Linjun led to the south to provide assistance during the most recent expedition to quell the civil unrest was just a part of this legendary cavalry unit.

If calculated based on the complete establishment, the entire armed force according to the monarch's order is enough to sweep across the southern barbarians. This may explain why the latter would rather spend a huge price to attack other forces than to challenge the northern regime head-on?

After hearing the above declaration, Gu Linjun immediately expressed his gratitude again with tears in his eyes: "Thank you very much for your kindness, uncle and Xixi. I will definitely keep it in mind and put it into practice."

At this time, the queen noticed that the atmosphere had eased and made a timely suggestion, "In this case, let's not waste any more time. It's already quite late and the little princesses must be very tired, right? Why not let them go back and rest early?"

"As you command, mother!"

So, after obtaining permission, Gu Linjun carefully carried his sleeping baby daughter out of the palace and returned to his residence.

After a long day of various activities, Xixi did look a little tired, so much so that she yawned several times in succession as soon as she was put down on the bed.

After noticing this, Su Wanyu gently stopped the original idea of ​​waking her up, "Forget it, let her rest for a while. It looks like the little girl must be very tired."

After hearing this, Gu Linjun nodded in agreement and gently placed her sleeping daughter on the soft and comfortable bed.

However, at the moment I let go, the little guy seemed to react and moved his body slightly and then turned sideways as if he was about to wake up.

In order to prevent him from waking up completely and affecting his sleep quality, Gu Linjun immediately sat down beside the bed and gently patted his chest with his palm to calm his emotions and let him continue to sleep.

After some patient care, Xixi was finally able to fall into a deep sleep.

After making sure everything was arranged properly, Su Wanyu, who had been observing and waiting for the opportunity, finally asked about the details of what happened today.

"My dear, can you tell me what happened?"

So Gu Linjun told his wife everything that happened, and at the same time, he held his wife's slender and tender hand tightly to express his deep guilt: "I'm sorry for making you tired today."

The answer I got was a string of soft, delicate and gentle words like the spring breeze: "It's okay, as long as we are all safe and healthy, it's more important than anything else."

After a moment of silence, the man proposed a bold idea: "Should we set out a few days earlier to return to the capital?"

Faced with the sudden proposal, Su Wanyu frowned slightly and asked with a puzzled look: "Why do we need to set off early?"

Gu Linjun smiled gently, with a hint of helplessness in his tone: "Don't get me wrong, I'm not in a hurry to leave because of what happened just now. In fact, there are indeed some new situations in the palace recently."

After Su Wanyu heard her husband's words, her expression became serious and she asked seriously, "What happened?"

He took a deep breath and slowly began to explain the whole story: "It's not a serious matter, but recently there was news in the palace that a concubine was pregnant."

Although his words were calm, they stirred up waves in Su Wanyu's heart.

Su Wanyu was startled at first, then the corners of her mouth rose, "Being pregnant with a child is naturally a happy event."

Her smile was as bright as a flower blooming in spring.

However, she had not yet completely immersed in this joy. Gu Linjun shook his head slightly, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes, "But, that concubine has never been favored by the emperor."

Hearing this, Su Wanyu's smile froze on her face instantly, and a hint of confusion and worry flashed in her eyes.

She looked at her husband, trying to find more information from his expression.

“This has become quite a problem.”

Gu Linjun added, "In the harem, if someone who has fallen out of favor suddenly becomes pregnant, it will be a huge challenge to the entire palace order."

After hearing this, Su Wanyu thought about it quietly, and finally calmed down and replied: "I don't think it is necessary to change our schedule because of this. Since this incident happened in the palace, he should solve it himself."

Hearing his wife's calm answer, Gu Linjun was a little surprised, "Aren't you worried about this matter at all?"

Su Wanyu gently patted the back of her husband's hand and said in a gentle but firm voice: "If such a small matter is worth my worry, how can I expect him to be able to handle more difficult situations on his own in the future?"

There is a gleam of wisdom in her eyes, which makes people respect her.

Seeing his wife being so reasonable, Gu Linjun couldn't help but feel happy, "You are right. Let's do as you say."

Then he took Su Wanyu's hand and kissed the back of her soft hand. "I will listen to you, my lady."

The two smiled at each other, and at that moment it seemed as if all doubts were resolved.

However, because of this small setback, Lord Hu and Eunuch Yang were quite frightened. It was said that they did not dare to step out of the mansion for several weeks.

As for the little princess who was inexplicably involved, although she was quite troubled at first, she looked at it all with a kind heart.

When he learned that the two officials were in poor health, he specifically ordered his servants to deliver some herbs to their homes.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I mentioned this idea, they reacted almost hysterically: "No, no! Absolutely not!"

It was as if these medicinal herbs were terrible things like floods and beasts.

Just when everyone was finding it incredible, a stern voice sounded at the right time: "This is something given by the princess herself. Please thank her for her grace quickly."

This managed to restore some calm to the scene. After receiving the medicine, the two officials knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly to express their gratitude.

At the same time, in the inner hall of the palace, an interrogation was going on.

The emperor and Concubine Jin sat on a high platform, and their cold eyes swept over the pregnant concubine, Concubine Yu, who was kneeling below and refusing to get up.

This woman, who was usually not favored, now angered the emperor because of what was in her belly.

The emperor angrily questioned the trembling maid standing by: "Tell me, who is so bold as to have an affair with my woman?"
