Report to the Empress and the Eldest Princess: They're using the system to poach your men.

"Your Highness, you're pinching me too hard."

Lin Wanyi's hand holding the jar trembled uncontrollably, and her voice trembled as well.

"Ah Wan, be good and don't think about anything else. If I hear any rumors, you'll be the one who suffers."

A deep, cold voice came from Shen Yuchen's thin lips, which were already pale, and his narrow eyes were filled with gloom.

"I...I know."

Lin Wanyi trembled uncontrollably, and Shen Yujing snatched the Gu from her hand and placed it on the low table.

He pulled her into his arms with a little force, taking in her terrified expression, and whispered playfully in Lin Wanyi's ear, "Wanyi, you have to understand, a mouse can never outsmart a cat."

"I don't dare."

Lin Wanyi's face grew increasingly pale, her mind churning with countless thoughts of escape.

This guy is a complete lunatic!

Shen Yujing enjoyed the thrill of manipulating and applauding people.

It's like giving a drowning person a sheepskin raft, but tearing a hole in the sheepskin before throwing it to them.

They gave hope only to plunge it into deeper despair.

"Good girl!" While stroking her hand, he climbed up Lin Wanyi's neck like a cold-blooded venomous snake and then bit her hard.

Lin Wanyi felt some pain, but dared not resist, and could only let the other person bite her hard.

She thought she had married a gentle but short-lived man, only to find out after entering the mansion that he was a sinister and terrifying evil spirit.

If one knew that the marriage they had longed for was their own grave, they might as well just plunge into a well and die.

"Wan, you're spacing out again!"

Seeing the terrifying coldness in the other person's eyes, Lin Wanyi was so frightened that she quickly wrapped her arms around Shen Yujing's waist, pressed her face against his chest, and pretended to be extremely obedient.

"I'm just a little worried about Your Highness's health."

"Well--!"

A domineering and savage kiss suddenly came, and she felt inexplicably nauseous.

Her body instinctively resisted, but the other person picked her up around the waist. "It's getting late, Awan, we should rest."

As the curtains were drawn, the faint sound of a woman weeping could be heard by the candlelight.

The next day at 3 a.m., Shen Sangwan, unsurprisingly, got out of bed again with dark circles under her eyes.

Last night, she went to bed early after finishing some things because she was drunk, but woke up again at the end of Hai Shi (11 pm). She was full of energy and couldn't fall asleep no matter what she did.

I finally managed to fall asleep around 1 a.m., but less than an hour later I had to get up again to wash and get dressed.

"Xiaotong, I think it's necessary to revise this ridiculous regulation."

I used to think that going to work at 8 a.m. was going to kill me, but compared to this morning court session, it's nothing.

What ridiculous thing is it that made me get up at 3 a.m. to discuss it?

No wonder those ministers died young, given their daily practices.

"If I were one of those two corrupt officials, I'd have taken all their relatives and associates; that would be a solid performance record!"

"Master, please stop nagging, my eyes hurt."

〖......〗

The Princess's residence is relatively close to the entrance of the Imperial Palace. It only takes an hour to get ready and go to Xingde Hall.

During the journey, Shuyun suddenly appeared and handed a small note to Shen Sangwan, her expression not very good.

"Your Highness, Qi Jun, Mo Feng's subordinate, sent a letter saying that they were attacked by refugees and bandits outside Wuzhou City yesterday. The two coordinated perfectly, and Mo Feng was caught off guard and ambushed. He has now disappeared without a trace."

Shen Sangwan glanced at it briefly, then crushed it.

"Reply to Qijun and the rest of the men, instruct them to lie low for now and rendezvous with me upon my arrival."

"Your Highness intends to go to Wuzhou in person?"

"Yes, you can prepare outside the palace. We will set off immediately after I leave the palace."

"Yes."

At 5 a.m., Shen Sang arrived late at the main hall for the morning court session. The court officials had already paid their respects to Shen Yuchen and were about to discuss matters.

"These ministers have no martial ethics; I'm on time for work, why are they all here so early?"

"Did the General of the State come to Xingde Palace after receiving this news?"

Cen Zhouyuan narrowed his dark eyes, his gaze becoming inquisitive and playful.

Ha, I want to see her make a fool of herself!

"The Right Prime Minister's residence has been rather restless lately; does it seem like everyone brings bad luck?"

Upon hearing this, his expression changed slightly. He ignored Shen Sangwan's words and directly accused her, "Your Highness, please do not beat around the bush. A few days ago, Your Highness recommended General Mo to go to the disaster relief. Yesterday, he had just arrived outside Wuzhou City when the accident happened. Is this what Your Highness meant by 'absolutely foolproof'?"

"The Right Chancellor's information network is indeed quite advanced."

Shen Sangwan spoke calmly, seemingly unaware of the reason.

"Your Highness has come to court today, could it be that you have found a new outsider who is completely ignorant of disaster relief?"

Cen Zhouyuan spoke in a low, hoarse voice, his eyes filled with a deep, sarcastic glint.

“Your Highness, it is true that you are a general who can assist the country and fight ten against one on the battlefield. However, the affairs of the court are not like those of a military campaign. I hope that you can be lenient in this matter of disaster relief and refrain from interfering recklessly.”

The Minister of Revenue then echoed this sentiment.

"It seems that the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review's investigation has been largely ineffective, and Lord Liu can still stand here in the court and point fingers at me with impunity."

"I have acted uprightly and sat honestly. If I am upright, I have nothing to fear. So why can't I stand in the court?"

Shen Sangwan just smiled faintly, "I hope that Lord Liu can still speak so righteously in the future."

She couldn't be bothered to argue with these people; doing serious business was more important.

He knelt upright on the ground and said, “Your Majesty, I wish to make amends for the mistake of using the wrong people in the disaster relief efforts. I beg Your Majesty’s permission to lead troops to Wuzhou to comfort the disaster victims and suppress the bandits.”

"Your Majesty, no!"

"Your Majesty, this matter should be handled by the Ministry of Revenue."

“Your Majesty, the Princess has neither disaster relief strategies nor experience in suppressing bandits, which is truly inappropriate.”

As soon as Shen Sangwan finished speaking, Cen Zhouyuan's faction knelt down and refused to speak.

Wen Yunhe, who had been sitting on the sidelines watching the fight, knelt down to speak up for Shen Sangwan after Cen Zhouyuan's men spoke up.

Seeing that Wen Yunhe had spoken out in support, the ministers who followed the Left Chancellor also spoke up for Shen Sangwan.

The two ministers, one playing the good cop and the other the bad cop, are a pity, though. The person on the dragon throne is her own brother, and a spoiled brat at that. Since you've offered him a way out, how could he possibly refuse?

"Then so be it, as the Left Prime Minister wishes. General Fuguo, step forward to receive the decree. I order you to lead five thousand troops to Wuzhou immediately to treat the disaster victims and suppress the bandits."

"???"

Does Your Majesty prefer to be dominated by a woman rather than compromise?

What a miscalculation!

"If I favor my elder sister, am I supposed to side with you ministers who aren't loyal to me?"

"Wei Chen accepts the order!"

After bowing her head in gratitude, Shen Sangwan strode away from Xingde Hall and headed to Fengluan Palace.

Since she was able to leave the palace in secret to go to her eldest princess's residence, she must have some skills.

But what excuse could she come up with to convince the other person to come to Wuzhou with her?
