Transmigrating into a Man's Wife: I Share the Pain with the Male Protagonist

Zuo Zheng was also surprised, "Did you encounter any problems?"

Li Mofu took a sip of herbal tea, then shrugged and said, "Deputy General Meng could only stay with us for a month. Everything went smoothly when he was with us, but it rained heavily halfway through, and the road was slippery and we couldn't see clearly ahead. Wang Ruiyan was pregnant, and the baby in her belly couldn't withstand the stress, so we found a place to rest..."

Li Mofu briefly told Zhao Xu and Zuo Zheng what had happened along the way, but he just glossed over the matter of saving Wang Ruiyan and did not tell Zhao Xu and Zuo Zheng that he could turn into a cat.

"I didn't expect you to be so brave." Zuo Zheng patted Li Mofu's shoulder and said.

Li Mofu shook off the hand that Zuo Zheng had placed on his shoulder, pursed his lips and said, "I'm very brave, okay."

Zhao Xu, standing by, sighed deeply. "So that's how it is. No wonder Minister Wang suddenly questioned His Majesty a while ago whether he was planning to revive witchcraft, sparking widespread discussion in the court. His Majesty has since suspended him from his duties and he's now confined to his home."

Li Mofu paused, "Minister Wang was dismissed?"

"Not yet, it was just stopped by His Majesty. Maybe it can be restored after some time." Zhao Xu frowned and said.

"If there is good news from the border, coupled with the proposal of the ministers in the court, perhaps Minister Wang will be able to resume his position. Otherwise... it's uncertain." Zuo Zheng shook his head and said.

At this time, Qiuxiang came over with Wang Ruiyan, and the three of them stopped talking at the same time. Li Mofu looked at Wang Ruiyan with a guilty conscience. Wang Ruiyan must have had a good sleep, and now she looks pretty good.

"Mr. Zhao, I'm sorry to bother you these days. I don't know how to thank you enough." Wang Ruiyan smiled and bowed before sitting down.

Zhao Xu smiled and waved his hands, "This is nothing. Wu'an Hou helped our family a lot in the past, and I am friends with Lu Mingyun, so this is nothing."

Zuo Zheng poured tea for Wang Ruiyan and said, "Don't be so polite, have a cup of tea."

Wang Ruiyan smiled and nodded, "Thank you."

"Actually, I called you out this late for no other reason than to discuss the current situation with you," Zhao Xu licked his lips and said seriously, "War has broken out in the northwest border, and many granaries have been opened and are shipping food there."

"The specific situation of Marquis Wu'an and the Lu brothers is unknown, but at least we haven't received any bad news. The Second Prince of the Northeast is still waiting and watching, and the foreign enemy seems to be waiting for the situation in the northwest to become clear before deciding whether to fight."

"The capital opened its gates after you left, and many dignitaries evacuated the city. After the Second Prince left for the Northeast, His Majesty immediately ordered your capture alive, which caused dissatisfaction among many ministers."

"However, His Majesty insisted on having his own way, and the order quickly spread throughout the country. This is why you were arrested."

Zhao Xu briefly told them what was happening in the capital. Li Mofu understood that the new emperor was determined to arrest Wang Ruiyan regardless of all the ministers. Did he know that he was going to fail?

Only three months had passed since the previous emperor's death, and the new emperor already felt his health deteriorating. However, Li Mofu felt that he probably hadn't taken the second long-lasting blood-clearing medicine yet, otherwise his behavior would have been even more exaggerated.

"Has the Ghost Immortal been found by the Emperor?" Li Mofu thought for a moment and asked.

Zhao Xu shook his head slightly. "Your Majesty has sent many capable ministers to search for the Ghost Immortal, and specifically to those remote and uninhabited border areas, but there is still no news."

"Since there is no news, why does the emperor still want to arrest Wang Ruiyan? Can he make medicine himself?" Li Mofu was still puzzled by this question.

Zuo Zheng laughed twice, "How is that possible? Your Majesty just wants to keep Madam Lu by his side. Once he finds the Ghost Immortal, he will directly refine the medicine."

"......" Li Mofu looked at Wang Ruiyan in silence.

"However, if the Ghost Immortal cannot be found and His Majesty captures Madam Lu, he might really come up with the idea of ​​refining medicine himself." Zhao Xu said with a sigh.
