The minister looked at Mu Nanfeng who was surrounded and said, "Please ask the Queen Mother to let Prince Shu and General Yu lead their troops to resist and provide support."

Queen Mother Pei watched Mu Nanfeng consider the feasibility of this matter. Prime Minister Pei said, "This is a good idea. I wonder if Prince Shu is willing to put aside his prejudices for the time being and make a judgment after assessing the external enemy."

Queen Mother Pei looked at Prime Minister Pei and disagreed, "Prime Minister Pei, you can't..."

Prime Minister Pei looked at Queen Mother Pei and said, "Queen Mother, we are facing an external enemy and Prince Shu is a legendary figure who leads troops in battle. We can postpone our personal affairs for now. The military situation is urgent and cannot be delayed."

Queen Mother Pei thought for a moment and nodded. "Alright, as long as Prince Shu quells the rebellion and recovers the lost territory, I will not say a word about anything you want to do, nor will I stop you."

Mu Nanfeng looked at Queen Mother Pei and said, "Okay, I will take people to Yu Changguan right away. I hope the Queen Mother can keep her promise."

After Mu Nanfeng finished speaking, he turned and left, and the people who followed him also left.

Although Queen Mother Pei was very angry that Prince Shu and his men ignored her status, she still endured it.

Soon the hall returned to calm and the palace maids and eunuchs cleaned up the scene.

The late emperor's mourning hall was restored to its proper appearance. After the other ministers left, Prime Minister Pei was left behind.

Queen Mother Pei asked, "Brother, why did you agree to Mu Nanfeng's words? What if he really wins the battle and comes back?"

A faint smile appeared on Pei Xiang's handsome face. He narrowed his eyes slightly and said slowly, "It's okay. There's no need to worry for now. When he returns, we will have many ways to deal with him. Why rush now?"

His tone carried a kind of confidence and composure, as if he had everything under control.

Queen Mother Pei also smiled and said, "Brother is indeed a man of foresight."

Mu Han was being watched by Empress Dowager Pei's men. Late at night, Jiang Lingchuan avoided the guards' sight and came to Mu Han's bedroom.

Mu Han stood up and whispered, "Why are you here so late?"

Jiang Lingchuan rolled his eyes at him. "Out there are all Empress Pei. I shouldn't call her Empress Dowager, but her people. I managed to sneak in while the Empress Dowager and Mu Nanfeng were fighting, and I had to hide from the guards outside."

Mu Han hurriedly asked, "What's the situation now? Why is there no movement?"

Jiang Lingchuan said, "It was a draw! Finally, there was an urgent military report. Under the persuasion of Prime Minister Pei, it was decided to fight the foreign enemy first."

Mu Han was puzzled. "Foreign enemy? What foreign enemy?"

Jiang Lingchuan patiently explained, "It is said that the Beihan Kingdom attacked and reached Yuchangguan, so they put aside the civil war for the time being. The Queen Mother agreed to let Mu Nanfeng do whatever he wants after he pacifies the enemy."

"What do you think about this?" Mu Han asked.

"Well, I think Mu Nanfeng had already made the arrangements, but Empress Dowager Pei killed His Majesty first, so he had no choice but to use the war to achieve his goals." Jiang Lingchuan thought for a moment and said, "Oh, by the way, the one who came to attack the Beihan Kingdom was the Second Prince Gu Wenjie, so he must have discussed this with Mu Nanfeng long ago."

Mu Han nodded. "That makes sense. I'm afraid that when he returns, Queen Mother Pei will no longer be his opponent. Our people must intensify their training. I..."

Suddenly, Mu Han covered his chest and fell to the ground in pain. Jiang Lingchuan hurried to check on him. "What's wrong with you? Ah Han, Ah Han, where are your medicines? Why are you sick again?"

Mu Han rolled on the ground in pain. Although He Yue had used medicine to detoxify some of the poison in Mu Han's body when she saved him before.

But his body had been tortured by drugs for many years, and the medicine He Yue prescribed for him could only relieve the symptoms.

The medicine was enough to ease the pain, which was better than before when he could only endure it. Mu Han pointed at the pillow and said, "Medicine, medicine..."

Jiang Lingchuan hurried to the bed, removed the pillow, and saw a small porcelain bottle.

He immediately poured one pill for Mu Han to eat. After a while, Mu Han recovered and Jiang Lingchuan helped him sit on the bed.

She helped him lie down, put his medicine away and said, "This medicine is really good. You said it was given to you by Doctor He. Since she has such a good medicine, isn't it possible that it can cure your illness? Otherwise, I will send someone to bring him over."

Mu Han waved his hand and said, "No need. She's living a good life. There's no need to drag her to this filthy place."

Jiang Lingchuan looked at Mu Han's unusual expression and asked, "What's wrong with you? Why do you look happy, worried, sad and heartbroken when you talk about Doctor He?"

Jiang Lingchuan suddenly thought of something. "Oh, I heard that Doctor He was a girl. Do you like her? She was the one who saved you when you were injured? Is she the girl that Mu Nanfeng protected that day?"

Mu Han didn't answer. Jiang Lingchuan slapped himself and said, "Why didn't I notice it earlier? You, you are so mean. You didn't tell me earlier."

Mu Han said, "Why didn't you say it earlier? With my body and the situation I'm in, how could I selfishly involve her in this?"

Jiang Lingchuan thought about it and said, "That's right. But don't worry, you can go and get her after I've sorted everything out."

Mu Han looked at the ceiling of the tent without answering. He himself couldn't say whether such a day would ever come. Even if there was such a day, how could someone like him be worthy of her.

They didn't chat for long before Jiang Lingchuan secretly left. Mu Han thought about the days he spent with He Yue.

Several months passed in a flash, and Mu Han had been sitting on the throne as emperor for several months.

He Tian only reached Yudu on the day Mu Nanfeng went on the expedition. After finally arriving in Yudu, he encountered the death of the previous emperor.

The exams were delayed again and again, so he had no choice but to study while writing letters to others in the most mixed place in Yudu City.

He never received a reply to the letters he wrote home. He simply thought that the money he gave was not enough and no one helped him deliver the letters.

In fact, he was indeed abandoned before he was sent to Huaiyuan County. He Tian studied even harder, thinking that after passing the exam, he would be able to bring honor to his family and marry He Yue.

The weather was getting colder, and the New Year was approaching. Mu Nanfeng finally drove the people of Beihan Kingdom out of the territory of Yu Kingdom.

On the way back to Yudu, County Magistrate Guo of Huaiyuan County received a transfer order from above.

He was transferred back to Yudu to serve as the Minister of Justice. Yes, he was transferred back. He was originally from Yudu, but his family fell into poverty, so he was sent to Huaiyuan County to serve as the county magistrate for many years.

When Prime Minister Pei learned about Magistrate Guo of Huaiyuan County, he was very impressed by his abilities and wanted to recruit him for his own purposes, so he tried to transfer Magistrate Guo back to Yudu.

When He Yue learned that County Magistrate Guo was leaving, he went to see them off. The people also reluctantly saw County Magistrate Guo off at the city gate.

The night before Guo Yulan left, she chatted with He Yue for a long time. She really wanted He Yue to go to Yudu with her.

He Yue refused and said, "You guys go first! I'll wait for my brother and my younger brother to pass the exam and go to Yudu together. Then I'll come to see you. But by then, you must recognize me, a country bumpkin."
