Rebirth and Revenge: The Imperial Master’s Pampering of Me is Addicting Me

Perhaps because they didn't expect him to appear suddenly, a group of soldiers who had gathered together to chat were startled. They jumped up hurriedly and stood up straight subconsciously, with their heads hung and no words said.

Anyway, what they said was not wrong. Nowadays, even if you pick an ordinary citizen, they will know that when a war breaks out, support from the rear must be in place, especially food and weapons.

But who could have imagined how hard they had fought in recent years? Every time they wrote to the court to ask for food, weapons, etc., they were always slow to respond. The nobles in the rear had no idea that the opportunity to fight would be fleeting.

They only knew how to delay, as if this would gain them a lot of benefits. But in fact, if they had not fought hard to defend the city, those ruthless barbarians would have already reached Jinghua.

Mu Yuan glanced at the soldiers who were keeping their heads down and saying nothing, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, with a complex emotion flashing across his eyes.

Over the years, it has been his adjutant who has been responsible for contacting the imperial court in the army. He knows better than anyone how difficult war is.

But what can he do? Even if the emperor wants his subject to die, he has to die. Moreover, his wife and children are in Beijing, so he dare not rebel!

He had been feeling very depressed these years. After a moment of silence, he sighed and waved his hand, indicating that they could leave.

He turned around and walked in one direction, his back silent.

The adjutant just came over with the food and saw this scene, he couldn't help but frown slightly, then walked over quickly and looked at the soldiers with a gloomy face.

"Don't say things like that in public anymore. What if there are spies in the army? If these few words of yours get to the ears of someone with ulterior motives, the general will be punished immediately. Do you know that?"

When he said this, the soldiers' expressions changed immediately, and they quickly raised their hands and swore that they would never say that again.

The general was such a good man. No matter whether there was food or not, he would always let the soldiers eat first. Even on the battlefield, he would always lead the charge. The general's wife even secretly gave them a lot of food. Many soldiers of the Zhenbei Army always remembered this kindness.

They were just so happy that the war was almost over and they could go home for the New Year that they spoke without any regard for the severity of the situation and almost gave others an opportunity to take advantage of them.

The adjutant's expression softened when he saw that they knew they were wrong. He said a few words to comfort them and let them go back to rest.

After hesitating for a moment, he quickly followed to find the general. He finally got a chance to catch his breath. If he didn't let the general have a meal, he would be worried that the general would not be able to hold on.

"General, I asked the cook to prepare some food for you. Please eat at least a little, or I will complain to the Madam, the Young Lady, and the Young Master when we return to the capital."

Upon hearing this, Mu Yuan couldn't help but roll his eyes at him, muttering something under his breath, but still quickly took the bowl.

"You really know how to threaten me. Be careful or I won't take you out next time."

The adjutant had stern features, but a gentle demeanor. The two qualities blended strangely in him. Now, he smiled calmly at him.

"That's impossible. Even if you are willing, the madam and the others will not agree."

In the final analysis, the reason why he was able to stand out from so many candidates was because of his own ability and his strict implementation of the instructions given by his wife and daughters. No one else's words could stop him.

Mu Yuan ate up all the food in the bowl in no time. If it weren't for the layer of oil on it, the plate would have been incredibly smooth.

It is said that when people are well fed and well clothed, they will think of sex. He could not help but think of his wife and children far away in Beijing, and there was a hint of longing in his eyes.

"I just received a letter from my family saying that Ali is back. Unfortunately, I couldn't make it to her coming-of-age ceremony. I'm so sorry for the children. By the way, where are you settling Zhirou?"

The deputy general lowered his eyes to hide the complex emotions in his eyes and reported the news softly.

"General, she's already settled in an inn in a nearby town, but have you really thought it through? With your status, adopting a daughter is no small matter, isn't it? And you haven't even asked your wife for her opinion."

The most important thing is what Military Advisor Fu had told him before...

Mu Yuan hesitated for a moment, then smiled and waved his hand. "It's okay. Ah Qin is kind-hearted and she understands my thoughts best. She might even be more proactive than me when the time comes."

He naturally knows his own wife best.

After thinking for a moment, he whispered, "Find someone to look after it. Once things are stable here, pack up and return to Beijing. I also want to return to Beijing as soon as possible to report on my work and see my wife and children sooner."

The adjutant had a complicated look in his eyes but nodded quickly without saying anything more.

(Deep Palace—Imperial Study)

The incident in which the princes made a commotion in the General's Mansion was eventually reported directly to the emperor by someone with ulterior motives.

When the emperor received the news, he was reviewing memorials in the room. After a while, he looked up and asked.

"So the third child also has a crush on the little girl from the Mu Yuan family?"

Eunuch Xu remained at his side. After a moment's hesitation, he spoke tactfully, "I heard that the Third Prince smashed a lot of things upon returning home, and he's planning to go to the capital tomorrow to pay his respects to the Imperial Concubine."

I just don't know what his plan is. Although the marriage between the Gu and Mu families has not been officially decided, it is something that many people in Jinghua know well. But the Third Prince suddenly made such a fuss, which can almost be said to have offended both families.

The emperor stopped writing, narrowed his eyes slightly, and suddenly asked him a question that made Xu Han tremble with fear.

"How do you think I should reward Mu Yuan when he returns? Or should we just make him my own relative?"

What do you mean by a marriage between relatives? The Gu and Mu families have always been close. If this marriage is ruined by the Tian family, he can imagine how much trouble it will cause, especially since General Mu is a straightforward person.

Xu Han's heart tightened, and he subconsciously whispered, "Your Majesty, it's probably still some time before General Mu returns. I guess it will be snowing in the capital by the time he returns. It will definitely be another beautiful sight covered in snow."

He calmly changed the subject and the emperor seemed not to notice. He smiled and said nothing more, lowering his head to continue revising the memorial, but he pinched his brows from time to time as if he was feeling a little uncomfortable.

Xu Han quickly spoke up, "Is Your Majesty feeling unwell again? How about I ask Imperial Physician Song to come and check Your Majesty's pulse?"

The emperor pinched his brows, glanced at him sideways, then lowered his eyes and waved his hand, his tone somewhat weak.

"No, I'm not sick. Go ask the master yourself. Has the elixir been made? I'm in a hurry to use it!"

Xu Han quickly agreed, and seeing the redness in the emperor's eyes, he couldn't help but tighten his fingers holding the whisk.

Your Majesty...I'm afraid you are really sick and don't even know it!
