The queen is sober in the world, and she is winning every step of the palace fight.

In the dragon tent, eight generals, including Concubine Hui, had fought against the rebels last night.

Concubine Hui and others are in the hunting camp. The other three are from the capital. They rushed here after finishing the battle in the capital and arrived not long ago.

The emperor is rewarding them.

A woman wearing a dark green lotus leaf dress, green cloud boots, and a jade belt around her waist, raised her willow-leaf eyebrows high, showing her teeth and smiling brightly.

"Your Majesty, I and others are grateful for your reward. However, as soldiers of Daliang, fighting for Your Majesty is our duty. Your praise is so great that we feel embarrassed."

She was in high spirits, and her original beauty, which was only 50% or 60%, became 80% due to her full energy.

Compared with her, although Concubine Hui was more beautiful and more heroic, after many days of military training, Concubine Hui became more deep and introverted, and her skin color turned wheat-colored due to training under the scorching sun. Standing among the male generals, she restrained her aura and made people ignore her existence.

The emperor was in a good mood. Upon hearing this, he smiled at the woman and said, "Commander Lu is as brave as any man. She single-handedly killed dozens of rebels. How could she be embarrassed by such bravery?"

Lu Yue pouted her cherry pink lips, her eyes were bright and her look was provocative.

He raised his chin and said, "Your Majesty, please don't brag about just a few dozen heads. In the future, I will become more and more powerful, and I will kill hundreds in a single battle! If you keep talking about dozens, people will misunderstand that I only have this much ability!"

"Hahaha--"

The emperor burst into hearty laughter.

"Alright, as you said, I'm waiting for you to kill hundreds in one battle! If you perform great deeds on the battlefield one day, I will personally wear a golden helmet for you!"

"Your Majesty, are you serious?"

"The emperor never jokes."

Lu Yue took two steps forward and stretched out his hand in front of the emperor. "Do you dare to make a pinky promise?"

The other generals were all amazed and secretly worried about her audacity and rudeness.

Unexpectedly, the emperor was in such a good mood after the victory that he didn't care about her overstepping her bounds at all. To everyone's astonishment, he reached out and hooked Lu Yue's fingers.

"Pull the hook, hang yourself, don't change for a hundred years!"

Lu Yue and the emperor put their thumbs together and made promises before letting go.

Then he stepped back to the side of the crowd and clasped his fists towards the emperor.

"I may be rude, but Your Majesty is indeed magnanimous, just as General Li said!"

"Oh?"

The emperor then turned his gaze to Concubine Hui who was standing quietly beside him.

Concubine Hui bowed slightly and said nothing.

Lu Yue said, "Just now, when I entered the camp, I met General Li Chaoying, a descendant of the Li family army, whom I had long admired. As both of us are women, I felt a close connection. I asked her what I should pay attention to when meeting His Majesty, and what I should not do to anger His Majesty. General Li said that His Majesty is magnanimous and will tolerate any mistakes made by his subordinates. This was my first time meeting His Majesty, and I truly felt His Majesty's imperial heart."

Only then did Concubine Hui clasp her fists and explain calmly, "What I meant was that as long as you strictly observe etiquette, even if you make a minor mistake when meeting Your Majesty, Your Majesty will be magnanimous and will not take it to heart."

Not all mistakes can be tolerated.

Concubine Hui didn't want the emperor to think that she was talking nonsense outside.

Defend and correct immediately.

The emperor waved his sleeves and said with a smile, "Chao Ying, there's no need to be so fussy about trivial matters. I think Lieutenant General Lu is a straightforward man with his words. When you grow up and become a female general together, you will be the twin gems of Daliang!"

Concubine Hui stopped talking.

Lu Yue raised his face and said, "Your Majesty, how long do you think it will take me to grow? I want to compete with General Li right now and fight with this senior whom I have admired for so long!"

Concubine Hui said, "I was injured in the battle last night. Now I just want to rest and don't want to fight."

Lu Yue exclaimed, his eyes wide in surprise. "General Li is actually injured. Aren't the Li family's boxing and spear skills unrivaled in the army? How could you be injured?"

A nearby general was displeased with Lu Yue's arrogance and said, "Swords and knives are merciless on the battlefield. Who says that those with great martial arts skills can't get hurt? You've only fought a few battles. You'll get hurt someday."

"Why are you cursing me for no reason?" Lu Yue glared, "General Fu, are you too old to bear the sight of so many new talents emerging in the army, and are you hoping for us to get hurt?"

General Fu's face darkened: "Try to say it again?"

"What? You still want to hit a woman?" Lu Yue puffed out his chest, showing no sign of weakness.

Concubine Hui held General Fu down.

He said to Lu Yue calmly, "Commander Lu is not injured and is more powerful than me."

Lu Yue snorted coldly at General Fu, then turned to Concubine Hui and smiled brightly, "That's not the case. When General Li recovers from his injury someday, let's have a real competition to see whether your Li family's martial arts are superior or my Lu family's ancestral martial arts are superior. General Li, do you dare?"

"I dare not." said Concubine Hui.

Lu Yue was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting Concubine Hui to say that.

But then he raised his brows, "General Li, what are you afraid of me doing? Don't tarnish the reputation of the Li Army. After all, so many people came to join the army because of your reputation, and they were vying for your name!"

"Oh, that might be because I'm just a name for nothing and people misunderstand me."

Even the emperor was a little uncomfortable with Concubine Hui's low-key and cold attitude.

Is the current Li Chaoying the same person as Baotan who used to beat concubines in the palace?

"Chaoying..."

"Your Majesty, business is more important. If you have finished, please allow me to leave. I would like to change my medicine and rest. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Concubine Hui's face showed a bit of fatigue, which was in stark contrast to the energetic Lu Yue.

The emperor was silent for a moment.

He was in high spirits when Concubine Hui gave him a cold shoulder, but as a wise monarch, he would not bother with his subjects about trivial matters, so he suppressed his displeasure.

Wen Yan said, "Then Chaoying will go down and rest first. If you need any medicine to heal your wounds, if the army doesn't have it, just come to me and get it."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Concubine Hui bowed and took her leave.

Lu Yue pouted at her back, "General Li seems to be very repulsed by me."

Turning to salute the emperor, she said, "Your Majesty, rest assured. I will do my best to befriend General Li and not cause any trouble for Your Majesty! The strength of our Daliang army requires the unity and sincere cooperation of every one of our generals!"

The emperor nodded in approval: "Commander Lu is very sensible."

For a while, Lu Yue put forward several suggestions for internal reforms in the army with full confidence.

The emperor and a group of generals discussed her proposal but did not make a decision. Seeing that it was getting late, they asked everyone to leave.

Lu Yue walked at the end, and when he was about to leave the tent, he turned around and smiled at the emperor.

The emperor paused and nodded slightly.

At this time, the palace maid who had been waiting for a long time came forward to report that the Empress Dowager and the Imperial Noble Consort were both with Concubine Shu, and Concubine Shu's condition had not improved yet.

The emperor asked, "Did you miscarry?"

"No, but Madam Shufei still has a stomachache and can't get up."

"Then let her lie down. Send two ginseng roots over." The emperor picked up the memorial beside the table and reported, "I am busy and cannot go to see her tonight. Tell her to take good care of the dragon fetus and don't let me down."

The palace maids in front of the emperor did not dare to disturb him any further and bowed and left.

Late at night.

Lu Yue returned to his camp from the dragon tent, inspected the camp, and then climbed up the nearby hillside with sufficient strength to look down at the other camps around him.

Thinking silently, his eyes flickered in the night.

Only when her subordinates urged her to go back and rest did she slowly walk back.

The subordinate was leading the way, and after turning around a bush, there was suddenly no movement.

Lu Yue immediately became alert, held down his sword, tiptoed to the bushes, and looked inside carefully.

He was hit hard from behind.

She was beaten until she passed out and lay on the ground, unable to make a sound.

Immediately afterwards, he was put into a sack.

Punch and kick.

Falling like raindrops.

The person who was beating him didn't make a sound, but Lu Yue, who was being beaten, felt pain in his back and had difficulty breathing, let alone making a sound.

The silent attack only lasted for a few breaths.

The attackers retreated quietly.

But Lu Yue was beaten all over his body, and there was no place that didn't hurt.

She had never been beaten like this in her life!

She lay on the ground and didn't get up for a long time.

After finally catching his breath, he forced himself to stand up tremblingly, looking around in confusion. The night was endless, and there were lights flickering in the camp at the foot of the mountain. Where could he find the person who had assaulted him?

Later, she found her unconscious subordinates behind the bushes.

"Useless things!"

She was so angry that she kicked her subordinate twice.

Concubine Hui's tent.

Xifeng and another personal guard came back.

"General, it's done!"

Concubine Hui hummed, and after looking at the topographic map in her hand, she raised her head and asked, "Was the beating severe?"

"It's okay. Time is tight, so in order to avoid being discovered, we could only give him a quick beating. It's not satisfying." Xifeng was still unsatisfied.

Concubine Hui said, "That won't work. You guys haven't had enough, so how can I have enough? Let's find another chance to fight again."

Xifeng smiled and replied, "Yes, General!"

Looking at Concubine Hui who started to study another topographic map, Xifeng and Rong Youyan.

Our general is really powerful.

Look, they used to fight face to face, but now they have learned to fight underground.

Is Lu Yue, a shady person with treacherous words, worthy of challenging the general? Beating her up with a dirty punch would be a compliment to her!

Xifeng asked the palace maids who were on good terms with the emperor.

Lu Yue often flattered his own general in front of His Majesty.

And His Majesty seems to admire her very much.

Xifeng had disliked Lu Yue from the moment he first met her, believing her to be a bad person. Although a military commander, Lu Yue gave off a very similar vixen-like vixen who wanted to rise to power in the palace.

After she left, she sent someone to look for Fei Wan.

Tell Fei Wan that there is a new female general in the army, who may not be a good person, so ask Fei Wan to be careful.

"Oh, another one?"

Fei Wan, who answered the call, was very calm and there was no fluctuation in her heart.

This is not the first time.

As long as the emperor is alive, a man will remain a young man until his death, and will always be attracted to any woman anytime and anywhere.

Fei Wan took care of Gu Shuer and asked someone to check Lu Yue's background.

At dawn, Gu Shu'er's condition improved and she fell asleep peacefully. Lu Yue's condition was also reported. Fei Wan took a look at the paper and threw it into the small charcoal stove to burn.

It turned out to be her.

In her previous life, when Concubine Ming led the eldest princess to establish a new court, Lu Yue served as the commander of the imperial guards for a period of time.

However, not long after, he was ordered to be executed by the eldest princess.
