After being demoted, my 300,000-strong army trampled the imperial city!

"Who believes you're serious? Are you coming or not?" Li Xiuning proudly raised Xue Ning's face.

"My wife is so kind and compassionate, I had to come."

Chen Futu stopped eating and carried Li Xiuning to their room.

Luo Wushuang stood to the side, looking suspicious, and said, "Young Master, we haven't eaten yet."

"I'm not eating. You stay outside and keep watch."

The door slammed shut with a thud.

Luo Wushuang was completely bewildered. Before long, she heard noises coming from the boudoir, among which Li Xiuning's painful moans could be faintly heard.

Luo Wushuang curiously peeked through the crack in the door, and her fair face instantly flushed red. She quickly ran out the door, her heart pounding in her chest, and muttered to herself, "Pah, shameless..."

Lately, the Crown Prince has been too indulgent; he's definitely got the makings of a tyrannical ruler!

Now that General Qin is not here, she needs to discuss with the officials that the Crown Prince cannot be allowed to continue to be so indulgent.

So Luo Wushuang found Dian Wei squatting in the doorway sunbathing. Dian Wei, with his hands in his pockets like a simpleton, asked, "What's wrong?"

"Please call out to Military Advisor Liu. I heard he's home today."

"No, no, you can go by yourself."

Dian Wei rolled his eyes. He was the prince's personal guard; how could he leave without permission?

"Are you going or not?" Luo Wushuang glared and waved her small fist. Dian Wei pouted and said, "You can't beat me anyway."

"Do you want to be hung from a tree again?"

"Hey, you little wench, you dare threaten me? Believe me or not, I'll beat you up."

Dian Wei glared with his big, round eyes and started yelling. Luo Wushuang teased, "Fine, when my general comes back, I'll tell him you bullied our women's army, and see how he deals with you."

The general she was referring to was naturally Qin Liangyu.

Dian Wei immediately chickened out, "No, I'll go, okay?"

Qin Liangyu had punished him by hanging him from a tree last time, and he didn't want to be hung from a tree a second time.

And so, Dian Wei slipped away to find Liu Bowen, while Luo Wushuang watched his retreating figure and laughed so hard she almost fell over, "What a fool..."

Before long, Liu Bowen was dragged into the courtyard by Dian Wei. Liu Bowen, who was small in stature, was almost thrown into the air by the drag. He cursed, "Why are you pulling me? Let go of me, you fool!"

"Old Liu, you should talk to her yourself."

Dian Wei only let go of Liu Bowen after bringing him to Luo Wushuang's side. Liu Bowen rubbed his wrist and grimaced in pain.

Dian Wei's grip was so strong that he almost crushed his wrist.

Luo Wushuang led Liu Bowen to a secluded place and said with a serious expression, "I have noticed that the young master has been indulging in excessive sexual activity lately. The strategist should think of a way to prevent the young master from ruining his body at such a young age."

Liu Bowen said calmly, "It's rare that you have this concern. The young prince is young and hot-tempered; it's not a big deal."

"How can it not be a big deal? I've investigated. Just the day before, the young master had slept with General Li twice, and then he took control of that widow Yan. Isn't he already in debt?"

"Is this happening?"

Liu Bowen was startled. It was said that some lecherous men would sleep with several women in one night. It seemed that the young prince was no exception. However, this matter was indeed something to be careful about.

He put his hands behind his back and pondered for a moment, "This is not a good matter. How can a subject interfere in the affairs of the monarch's inner court?"

After a long while, he said, "Why don't you summon the Princess sooner so that she can accompany General Li day and night? It would be best to summon that widow Yan as well, then the young master will have no choice."

"That's a good idea."

Luo Wushuang was overjoyed and immediately sent the women's army to invite Chen Yuling and Yan Qing.

Chen Yuling had been staying at the military academy for some time and was called here in a daze, along with a bewildered Yan Qing.

Luo Wushuang spoke to the two of them separately. Yan Qing blushed and dared not speak, fearing that Chen Yuling would blame him.

Chen Yuling snorted, "I'm moving in with my second sister-in-law right now. I won't give my brother a chance. If he dares to cause trouble, I'll kick him out. And you, Yan Qing, better behave yourself during this time. If I find out that you and my brother are having an affair, don't blame this princess for being impolite!"

"Here..."

Yan Qing dared not refuse. Chen Yuling was the Crown Prince's younger sister, the current Princess, and the future Princess of the Empire. Her words carried considerable weight.

And so, Chen Futu was enjoying himself in the room, while Chen Yuling and Yan Qing's men were already tidying up the room outside.

When Chen Futu came out clutching his back, he saw Chen Yuling's murderous little eyes and Yan Qing's resentful gaze.

What are you two doing here?

“Brother, starting today, I will stay with Second Sister-in-law. Yan Qing will also come to live with us. You can go do whatever you want. You are not allowed to come to this villa without my permission, otherwise I will tell Mother to bring out the ancestral family law to deal with you.”

Chen Yuling stood with her hands on her hips like a little tiger.

Chen Futu looked suspiciously at Liu Bowen sitting in the pavilion, then at Luo Wushuang whose eyes were darting around, and he understood immediately.

This is because someone saw that he was living too carefree a life and feared that he would become a tyrant, so they came to give him a serious warning.

Well, I've really gone too far lately, to the point of being unable to handle the nourishment.

Chen Futu asked Liu Bowen to leave together, and Dian Wei glared at Luo Wushuang before leaving.

As they were leaving, Liu Bowen finally revealed the whole story, and Chen Futu said awkwardly, "You ministers are meddling far too much."

Liu Bowen said awkwardly, "Your subject must ensure the Crown Prince's good health and refrain from indulging in sensual pleasures. All matters concerning the northern frontier depend on the Crown Prince's plans."

"I know. It's so annoying."

Chen Futu flicked his sleeves and boarded the carriage, while Liu Bowen bowed outside, saying, "Your subject respectfully sees off His Highness the Crown Prince."

"Old Liu, don't just sit around doing nothing. Is everything ready for the ceremony? Are the details all set? And have the disaster victims been properly resettled? I don't want any people to be homeless during the ceremony. Also, I'm planning a military parade. Your vacation is over for this year, so get back to work right now."

"what?"

“If you miss one day, I will deduct a year’s salary from your paycheck.”

After saying this, the carriage sped away.

Liu Bowen stood at the door and almost burst into tears.

What did he do to deserve this? He's fulfilling his duties as a subject, yet he still gets his salary docked. The Crown Prince is simply inhuman.

As Chen Futu drove away, Chen Yuling barged into the boudoir.

Li Xiuning was still resting when she saw Chen Yuling arrive. She was surprised and quickly got up, wrapped herself in the quilt, and obediently called her "Princess". However, her pretty face was still flushed and covered with sweat.

Chen Yuling, hands on her hips, complained, "Second sister-in-law, you're pregnant and still can't stop making a fuss?"

"Yu Ling, your sister-in-law knows she was wrong."

"I just sent my brother away. From today onwards, I will take over this house. Except for necessary visits, I will no longer accompany you. You better behave yourself and don't make this princess angry."

"Here..."

Li Xiuning was still somewhat afraid of this young princess. She was the apple of Chen Futu and the old lady's eye. When the Longman people proposed marriage, she was publicly humiliated by the prince, who even killed the Khan's envoy for her sake.

Throughout the entire northern frontier, apart from the old lady, only Qin Liangyu could discipline this princess.

Next, Chen Yuling had someone help Li Xiuning change her clothes and then introduced her to the new rules of the manor. Li Xiuning and Yan Qing were overwhelmed by what they heard. These rules included sending the prince nourishing food every day, learning new knowledge from her every day, precautions for pregnancy, and royal court etiquette.

Their lives are probably going to be tough under this little witch's rule.

Chen Futu returned to the royal court and rested for two days. With the grand ceremony approaching, news suddenly came from Zhongshan that the entire Zhong family had been beheaded.

Chen Futu was completely stunned when he received Ma Chao's secret letter.
