After rebirth, I married the emperor's uncle and overthrew my ex-husband's kingdom

As soon as he returned to Jingzhao Prefecture, Captain Liu came up to him quickly and said, "Sir, we have found the whereabouts of Zhu Laosan!"

"Hurry up and take people over there. We must catch him!"

Xu Lingyun didn't even have time to change out of his official robe as he hurried away with his men following Captain Liu.

The sunny days in a row suddenly turned gloomy, with lightning, thunder, strong winds and heavy rain!

Bai Youyou and Xiaoju covered their heads and quickly ran to the eaves of a street shop. They looked at the sky that looked like it had a hole in it and rubbed their arms.

"It was sunny just now, but now the weather changes like turning the pages of a book."

Xiaoju muttered to himself as gusts of cold wind blew over them, and the two of them shivered with cold.

Bai Youyou looked at the weather and felt a little worried about Lu Chen. "It's already November, and my cousin should be back soon."

"It's freezing cold today, Master Seventh, please don't get wet."

The crowded pedestrians on the street hid under the eaves of the shops on the side, and the usually crowded streets suddenly became empty.

Suddenly, a group of people wearing white mourning clothes appeared on the street.

The rain blocked the view, but the pitch-black coffin was particularly eye-catching.

"Whose family has died? It's raining so hard, it must be suffering."

"Yes, a funeral on a rainy day is not a good sign."

Bai Youyou and Xiaoju, like everyone else, looked towards the funeral procession. However, when they saw the people in the rain clearly, their eyes suddenly widened.

"Miss, it's the Seventh Young Master!"

“Seventh Brother!!”

Bai Youyou was horrified and rushed into the rain, running towards Lu Chen.

Lu Chen's face was pale. When he went out, he was tall and handsome. Now, only two months later, he was skinny and looked pale.

"long."

Lu Chen stopped, his throat seemed to be torn apart, and his voice was low and hoarse.

"Seventh Brother, who is in here?"

Bai Youyou looked at the dark and creepy coffin and asked in a trembling voice.

Lu Chen's nose was sour, and tears and rain rolled down his face, "It's the fifth brother."

"Fifth brother!!"

Bai Youyou felt as if struck by lightning, and stood there numbly, motionless.

She could never have imagined that the scene would be like this when she saw Lu Chen again.

She struggled and walked step by step to the coffin, stretched out her trembling hands, and gently stroked the coffin.

The fifth cousin who liked to give her special treatment and catch all kinds of small animals for her, is gone just like that?

"Fifth brother...how could he just die suddenly?" Bai Youyou's voice was filled with tears.

Lu Chen lowered his head, his eyes full of pain, "Two months ago, the barbarians attacked suddenly, and my fifth brother led people to ambush them in the North Mountain, but we didn't expect the barbarians to get around and surround them."

"How can it be?!"

Bai Youyou exclaimed.

The book says that the people in the Zhenguo Mansion died, but they did not die now, but after the prince ascended the throne!

The rain was cold, drops falling on the dark coffin, splashing out broken water drops.

The people who were taking shelter from the rain on the street looked at the person in the rain and suddenly recognized that he was someone from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

"That's someone from the Zhenguo Mansion!"

"Someone from the Zhenguo Mansion died on the battlefield again?!"

Everyone's eyes fell on the coffin, and their hearts began to lift.

Lu Chen was afraid that Bai Youyou might get gonorrhea, so he said in a hoarse voice, "Let's go back first."

A group of people stood in front of the gate of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion in the pouring rain. When Sun heard the news, she closed her eyes and fainted in an instant.

“Madam! Madam!!”

The old lady felt heartbroken, but she calmed herself down and asked people to prepare the mourning hall.

She has experienced the death of her loved ones many times, and each time it made her feel heartbroken and miserable.

But what can be done?

Born in a military family, going to the battlefield, this is their fate!!!

The incident of Censor Liu caused a stir in the capital, but then returned to calm. Now, the incident at the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion has suddenly caused a huge stir.

After the people learned about this, they spontaneously hung white flags in front of their homes.

Only the emperor could make the people of the world hang white banners, not even the empress dowager and the queen. When the emperor in the palace heard the news, he angrily threw the celadon teacup in his hand.

"All the people hang banners, what a grand ceremony!"

The Queen Mother's eyes were filled with regret: "The Zhenguogong Mansion is a family of loyal and brave men. Now that five of their sons have sacrificed their lives for the country, it is truly a tragedy for our dynasty."

The emperor's face turned pale, and he snorted coldly, "The people of this Great Zhou don't know the emperor, but everyone knows the Duke of Zhenguo!"

The Empress Dowager had been disappointed with the Emperor ever since the tax issue, and now seeing that he was brooding over such a small matter, her disappointment grew even greater.

"If there were no Duke Zhenguo guarding the border, how could you sit in the court safely? It's just a matter of appearance, why bother with the trivial details?"

After all, it was still her own flesh and blood. The Queen Mother taught him earnestly: "Before the world is settled, you still need to respect the Duke of Zhenguo."

"I know."

The emperor gritted his teeth, but he also knew that now was not the time to get rid of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

He called over Chen, the chief steward, and said, "Pass on my order! Lu Qin'an, the fifth son of the Zhenguo Duke, died for his country. He was brilliant and heroic! I hereby appoint him as a first-rank general to honor his achievements and comfort his heroic spirit!"

Manager Chen led a group of people to the Duke of Zhenguo to convey the emperor's oral instructions.

It's just some empty reputation, what's the point?

Sun's eyes were swollen from crying, and she brought her people to receive the imperial decree and express her gratitude.

Bai Youyou knelt in front of the mourning hall in white mourning clothes, throwing pieces of yellow paper into the brazier one by one.

She always had a question in her mind: why did the enemy know about Lu Qinan’s actions and ambush him in Beishan?

But she also asked Lu Chen, the action that day was a sudden move, and there was no such thing as leaking the news.

Could it be that the enemy was deliberately luring us?

Bai Youyou was pondering this question. In the mansion of Yong'an Marquis, Yong'an Marquis clapped his thigh and laughed heartily.

"Wait, the death of Lu Qinan is nothing, none of you from the Zhenguo Mansion will escape!!"

Bai Yaoyao was dressed in silk and satin. She sat upright on the chair with the corners of her lips raised. "Your Highness, we can take our time with the affairs of the Zhenguo Mansion. Right now, we still need to get rid of the Third Prince as soon as possible."

The prince has been doing well recently and his attitude towards Bai Yaoyao has become even more cordial.

His eyes were tender and gentle, and he asked in a doting voice, "Yaoyao, do you have any good ideas?"

"Your Highness, just send someone to Qingling Mountain and you'll know."

Bai Yaoyao deliberately kept the secret, and the prince's curiosity was aroused. "Yaoyao, why don't you tell me now, so that I won't be worried about it all the time and feel itchy."

"You will know once you go there. Yaoyao can guarantee that this time, the Third Prince will never be able to turn things around!"

"really?!"

Upon hearing this, the prince tightened his grip on the white jade cup and subconsciously leaned towards Bai Yaoyao.

Bai Yaoyao could smell the faint scent of ambergris on the prince. She pursed her lips and smiled, her tone full of confidence, "When has Yaoyao ever disappointed His Highness?"
