In the space, the treasure-hunting rat Junjun advanced again. This time, the little guy actually grew a pair of dragon horns.

It was also because of the advancement of the treasure-hunting rat Junjun that Song Jinxiu, as the other party to the life and death contract, also benefited greatly. She finally broke through the barrier of the third level of the Qi Refining Stage.

Therefore, Song Jinxiu, whom Su Mo had been looking for so eagerly, did not go out today. She was sitting in the space meditating and practicing to consolidate her cultivation.

In the imperial palace, the Hall of Supreme Harmony, dozens of envoys knelt on the ground, speaking the Cangwu dialect, which was either fluent or clumsy, to flatter the emperor. They were cautious and followed closely.

This scene made Emperor Liu Renxiu in a very good mood.

He couldn't help but recall the situation when he met the envoy of the Nuhan Kingdom ten years ago.

At that time, envoys who came to the court to see the emperor were not required to kneel or even bow. They stood with their legs apart, showing the arrogance and barbarity of the Nuhan people to the fullest.

He knew that they were deliberately provoking him, knowing that Cangwu had just experienced civil strife and natural disasters, and its national strength was weak, so it did not dare to launch a large-scale war.

At that time, the treasury was empty, the people were poor and the army was weak, so he really didn't dare.

He endured humiliation for decades and fought wars big and small for decades. Only after Kang Le contributed the oil pressing technology and built a glass workshop did the national finances begin to improve.

Originally, he thought that as long as the country was strong enough, the Nu Khanate would not dare to harass the border, which would be the limit. However, he did not expect that his nephew, the Duke of Cangwu, would actually wipe out the Nu Khanate.

After the court session, Emperor Cangwu kept Su Mo to talk.

He was in a good mood and couldn't help laughing three times. The demise of the Nu Khanate made him feel relieved, and the surrender of a number of small countries in the northwest also made him proud.

This is all thanks to Su Mo, this kid is great.

Liu Renxiu looked at Su Mo and couldn't help but think of his sister Princess Enyi and his good friend, feeling emotional.

"Mo'er has made great contributions. What reward do you want?"

Su Mo said, "Princess Kangle played an indispensable role in my annihilation of the Nuhan Kingdom. I wonder where Princess Kangle is now? I want to thank her in person."

Why didn't the little girl come to court? He wanted to go to the princess's mansion to find her. Your Majesty, can you let me leave the palace?

Liu Renxiu was stunned, and then he remembered that the two people knew each other. It was Mo'er who wrote a memorial and submitted it to him about Song Jinxiu's oil press workshop. It was also because of Su Mo's recommendation that he got this talented person.

He laughed heartily and said, "Speaking of Kang Le, I want to credit you for your contribution as well. However, she didn't come today, saying she had something to do at home. So, what's the matter? Kang Le actually contributed to this great victory?"

Su Mo quickly laughed: "Hey, isn't this the compass, telescope, and the newly made crossbow from the Ministry of War that she gave me? These have all been of great help to me."

He couldn't say that if Jinxiu hadn't sent her the letter, he wouldn't have chosen to patrol the border at that time in order to avoid Princess Kangning, and he wouldn't have met the hunter who knew about Yixiantian.

If he can't find the Nu Khanate's lair, no matter how capable he is, it will be useless.

All I can say is that there is a divine will in everything.

But he couldn't tell this matter, otherwise, the spies that the little girl had planted in the Grand Princess's Mansion would be exposed.

Su Mo believed that Song Jinxiu must have had a spy to know such private information, and this spy must be close to the Grand Princess.

This little girl is not simple. She has just been in Beijing for a short time, but not only has she been promoted all the way, but she has even planted spies in the Grand Princess's Mansion.

Thinking of Song Jinxiu, Su Mo couldn't help but look gentle in his eyes.

Speaking of Princess Kangle's abilities, Liu Renxiu felt even happier. Yes, all the good luck was due to Kangle.

These days he often thought about Prince Yin forcing the emperor to abdicate. If it weren't for Kang Le's arguing, her theory of unifying the world, and the revelation of Prince Yin's identity, could he, the emperor, still sit so comfortably?

Perhaps Prince Yin will fail, but he will definitely be uneasy.

The four maxims and his father's imperial edict were like a huge mountain weighing down on his head.

If he couldn't get over this hurdle in his heart, he would be uneasy all his life even if he remained as the king.

Suppressing his thoughts, the emperor patted Su Mo's shoulder and said, "If you want to thank Kangle, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. You should go see the Queen Mother first. She misses you terribly. She talks about you every day. She also said that the birthday gift you gave her was the most suitable for her."

"Yes."

Su Mo suppressed his longing for Song Jinxiu.

The Queen Mother is his grandmother, so he must pay his respects to her first.

In Cining Palace, Su Mo paid a solemn visit to the Empress Dowager, and her eyes were filled with tears. When the grandfather and grandson met, there was naturally another round of affection and care.

The Empress Dowager invited Su Mo to dinner and made his favorite kidney bean cakes.

After the meal, Su Mo stood up to say goodbye. The Queen Mother suddenly thought of something, glared at him, and said, "You are not young anymore, it's time for you to get married. I am still looking forward to having a great-grandson."

Su Mo blushed, "Mo'er, there's no rush. Wait another two years."

The little girl is only fourteen years old and will not reach the age of marriage until next year. She can only get married after she reaches the age of marriage.

Oh, time goes by so slowly!

The Empress Dowager glared at him and said, "Nonsense! Can you wait for Kang Ning?"

Su Mo smiled and said, "Can Kang Ning compare with me? She can't wait. Don't worry, Grandmother, someone will come to propose marriage."

Naturally, he could not hide the matter between Princess Kangning and Chen Shigui.

General Zhao Chui wrote a letter of apology that day, saying that he had lost the future Duke's wife and almost died to apologize.

Kang Ning went to the military camp to plot against him, and he was very angry at first. But he never expected that he would end up with Chen Shigui.

In this case, for the sake of our years of friendship, let’s just let this matter go.

Although Chen Shigui was her brother-in-law, her sister was no longer with her, leaving behind no children, so the marriage between the two families was broken off.

Moreover, this brother-in-law had ill intentions. Although there was no evidence that he had harmed me, he chose to passively rescue me, which was unfaithful.

In addition to the incident between him and Kang Ning this time, Su Mo officially expelled him from the Su Family Army.

But he was planning to attack the Nu Khanate at that time and had no time to deal with these two people, so he ordered people to send Chen Shigui and Kang Ning to the nearby county government office for custody. They had been released after the great victory, so they should have come back.

However, he still had to investigate the matter of Zihu's gold medal. The Su family army's token appeared in the Grand Princess's Mansion, which was really strange.

The Empress Dowager frowned, looking at her grandson's confused expression, she was also a little confused.

"Mo'er, don't you want to be responsible for Kang Ning?"

They have already had physical contact, is this child so irresponsible?

Su Mo frowned: Responsible? How?

But seeing the Empress Dowager's disapproving expression, Su Mo said, "Since the Imperial Grandmother has said so, I will give Kang Ning more dowry when he gets married."

The Empress Dowager asked, "Will your aunt agree?"

Su Mo's face darkened.

Although this incident happened in the military camp, it was the nanny beside Princess Kangning who put the medicine. After all, this matter had nothing to do with him, Su Mo, and the Grand Princess could not blame him.

Even though the mother and daughter had schemed against him like that, he had been tolerant enough not to cause trouble for the Grand Princess's Mansion and was willing to add to Kang Ning's dowry. How else could she expect him to take responsibility?

Su Mo frowned and said, "Don't worry, Grandmother. Just ask Marquis Pingyang to come and propose marriage as soon as possible. The worst that can happen is that I will give her a generous dowry."

The Queen Mother finally realized that something was wrong.
