It's good to exchange marriages. My sister eats coarse food while I wear gold and silver.

After the imperial concubine pondered for a moment, she called her confidant, gave him a few instructions, and then said to Yuan Buwei, "It may not be possible to get it, but we must try and not just sit there and wait for death."

As expected, as long as you learn from Yaowang Valley, your work style will be very consistent.

The waiting time is always long.

the other side.

Old Madam Mu and her granddaughter Mu Qing have arrived in front of Yanying Palace.

Yanying Hall is where the emperor meets important officials. It happened that the emperor, who had just finished court, was discussing important matters with several important officials.

The grandparents probably waited for nearly half an hour.

Eunuch Liu beside the emperor came out and led the grandparents and grandchildren in.

"Meet the Emperor!"

After Old Madam Mu and Mu Qing knelt down and kowtowed, the emperor finally responded: "General Mu, please stand up quickly. Someone, please give him a seat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After Mrs. Mu sat down, the emperor asked her, "I heard that General Mu brought his grandson back to the palace?"

"Yes, I am old now and may not live for many years. I would like to bring my grandson back to enjoy the happiness of family life."

"General Mu, please don't say that. You can at least live to be a hundred years old. I am still waiting to attend your centenary banquet." Although the current emperor can chat with Old Lady Mu with a smile, in fact, when he saw Mu Qing, he probably guessed the reason why the grandfather and grandson came. "Mu Qing, how is Lu Sui? I heard that he was seriously injured?"

"The young marquis is doing well now. Your Majesty, please rest assured that I will take good care of him." Mu Qing clasped his fists and did not mention Yuan Buwei at all.

"During this period, state affairs are very busy. When I have some free time, I will go to the Wanning Marquis's Mansion to visit Lu Sui in person." The emperor sighed and looked at Old Lady Mu. "I just heard from Eunuch Liu that General Mu wants to give me something. What is it?"

"It's a battle formation diagram." Old Madam Mu took it out from her sleeve and stood up tremblingly, "Your Majesty, I am guilty."

"General Mu, what crime have you committed? I am confused."

"Your Majesty, this is what happened..." Old Lady Mu told the emperor about her granddaughter disguising herself as a man, and then emphasized her helplessness and sadness.

After understanding the whole story, the emperor remained silent.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to take all the responsibility. Please don't blame my grandmother." Mu Qing knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the emperor. "Your Majesty, I know that I have committed the crime of deceiving the emperor, and I dare not defend myself."

"Your Majesty, Qing'er was just following your humble servant's orders. She..."

"Mu Qing, you disguised yourself as a man to enter the military camp, which is indeed a crime, but you have achieved your current success by yourself. I have always cherished talents, so I pardoned your crime of deceiving the emperor. However, according to Lu Sui's temper, he will not expel you from the Gale Camp just because you are a girl. Is there any misunderstanding?" The emperor saw the grandfather and grandson stiffen, and a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes. "A formation diagram can only exempt you from the crime of deceiving the emperor. If you don't explain the rest clearly, I can't make a blind decision. After all, Lu Sui is still lying in bed and can't move. I can't let him down."

"good."

Rather than hiding it, it would be better to admit it openly: "I like the young marquis, but he is already married, and I am responsible for the future of the Mu family. Even if I am in love with the young marquis, I cannot be his concubine."

If the emperor had not been accustomed to seeing demons and monsters, he would have killed Mu Qing, who was ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth.

"Your Majesty, it's not that I don't want to tell you, but I'm afraid you won't be able to accept it if I tell you all at once." Wiping her tears, Old Lady Mu recounted everything that had happened in the past two days. The whole incident expressed that she was the victim and Yuan Buwei was the perpetrator.

At the end, he had to pretend to be magnanimous: "She is young and ignorant, I won't bother with her, but I feel sorry for Qing'er. She has worked hard for so many years just to be worthy of the young marquis, but in the end..."

"If I had known that you were in love with Lu Sui, I would not have issued the decree." The emperor showed a trace of annoyance. "Now that you two are newlyweds, Yuan Buwei has not done anything out of line, so I cannot issue a decree..."

"Your Majesty, you don't need to issue an order to separate them. I just hope you can issue an order to let me return to the Swift Wind Camp. I have deep feelings for the Swift Wind Camp. I have been through life and death with the soldiers so many times, and we have become like family." Mu Qing's eyes were filled with the courage to win. "Most importantly, I want to let the young marquis see my strength. Under the leadership of me and the young marquis, the Swift Wind Camp will definitely have a brighter future."

"well said."

The delighted emperor gave Eunuch Liu a look, and Eunuch Liu immediately walked towards Old Lady Mu, picked up the parchment and presented it to the emperor with both hands.

After the inspection, the emperor's eyes were filled with joy: "With this formation, the soldiers' chances of winning on the battlefield will be one step better."

"Your Majesty, what I said..."

Old Madam Mu looked at the emperor nervously.

"Easy to say."

The emperor smiled and said, "General Mu, I want to talk to Mu Qing alone..."

"Yes, I understand. I will leave right away."

"Eunuch Liu, help General Mu out, be careful."

As soon as his grandmother left, Mu Qing immediately became nervous. Although he had met the emperor several times before with the young marquis, this time he met him alone, and the oppressive feeling of the emperor instantly overwhelmed him.

"Mu Qing, I can promise you that I will let you return to the Swift Wind Camp, and I will make the decision for you. Lu Sui will not be able to kick you out of the Swift Wind Camp." After the emperor finished speaking, he saw a hint of excitement on Mu Qing's face, and changed the subject, "But you have to do something for me."

"Your Majesty, please tell me. As long as it is something I can do, I will definitely do it, even if it means climbing mountains of swords and crossing seas of fire." Mu Qing was so overwhelmed with joy that he did not think about the meaning of the emperor's words at all.

When the emperor heard her answer, he smiled with satisfaction and said, "I want you to report to me regularly on the every move of the Gale Camp."

The smile froze on Mu Qing's face: "Your Majesty, what did you say?"

"Can't you do it?"

The emperor leaned back on the dragon chair, looking down at Mu Qing, whose face was gradually turning pale. "Your grandmother handed over the battle formation diagram that your grandfather had treasured for many years. Ostensibly it was for you, but in fact it was for the future of the Mu family. Your eldest brother is a sickly man, and there are not many men in the Mu family who can show off their talents. All hopes are placed on you, a woman. You don't have enough talent in leading troops in battles. You are just working hard, but hard work is nothing compared to talent. Maybe one day a military genius will appear, and then you will be drowned."

Mu Qing clenched his hands, bit his lower lip with his teeth, and faced the emperor's questioning.

She couldn't even answer.

"Don't tell me that you can do it. You should know that there are many military officers with good family backgrounds and strong abilities. Why should I give you a chance as a deputy general disguised as a man?"

"thump."

Mu Qing knelt on the ground, sweating profusely: "Your humble servant is willing to wait for the emperor's orders."
