Started as a thatched house and ended up as a female figure

The sun rose as usual and the sky became bright.

The people of the capital and some officials suffered greatly.

Naturally, they also wanted to resist the brutality of the man on the throne, but they found it difficult to muster up the courage.

Moreover, they always felt that with so many lives at stake, King Rui would not attack the capital city due to his reputation.

In fact, I am still hoping for a lucky break.

Prince Rui knew better than anyone what kind of stigma would be brought upon himself by ordering an attack on the capital, but everything has its trade-offs.

In King Rui's army, everyone is ready to go.

In the middle tent, King Rui was making final arrangements with several key generals before the siege.

"I only want the capital. I don't care about anything else. Pass the order down..."

"Report!"

A messenger came in from outside, knelt on one knee, and reported to Prince Rui: "Your Highness, there is an adult named Cheng Wan holding a child, who said he wants to see you for something important!"

"Cheng Wan?"

The generals who knew Cheng Wan frowned and said, "Wasn't Cheng Wan sent by the prince to deliver food and fodder to His Royal Highness?"

"But what happened on the front line?!" A general's face changed drastically.

Prince Rui took a deep breath and looked extremely ugly. He really didn't want to hear any bad news at this moment, but he knew Cheng Wan. If he said it was important, it must be important.

"Bring her here!"

The messenger received the order and left in a hurry. The other people in the tent watched with their eyes and noses, feeling the gloomy and tyrannical attitude from their superiors, and dared not make any noise.

"Your Majesty, Master Cheng is here."

King Rui opened his eyelids and looked directly at the door of the central tent. His voice was as cold as ice: "Come in."

Cheng Wan, who was outside the tent, felt a tightness in his heart.

She didn't see King Rui, but just from the voice just now she could sense how bad King Rui's mood was.

Cheng Wan took a deep breath and walked into the middle tent holding the child in his arms.

"Your humble servant Cheng Wan pays respect to His Majesty!"

Cheng Wan stood in the middle, without looking up, and knelt down on his knees.

Having not slept a wink all night, Cheng Wan had to hurry on the road and take care of the children at the same time. His image at this moment was not very good.

His face was pale, with obvious dark circles under his eyes, and he looked dishevelled after a long journey.

"Cheng Wan, what happened on the front line?! Also, why did you bring the child to such a serious and important occasion?!"

Hong Fangping, one of King Rui's trusted generals, was impatient and questioned Cheng Wan in a cold voice with a stern face.

Prince Rui did not intend to blame Hong Fangping for asking the question before him. He just looked at Cheng Wan's head expressionlessly.

Obviously, if Cheng Wan's answer could not satisfy him, Cheng Wan would be in trouble.

"General, everything is fine at the front. I want to see the prince to present this child and something to him."

After saying that, Cheng Wan quickly freed one hand and pulled off the bundle in front of him, pulled out the box containing the imperial seal and placed it on his palm. He lowered his head and said calmly, "Your Majesty, this box contains the imperial seal."

! ! ! ! ! !

"what?!"

Everyone opened their eyes wide, staring at the box in Cheng Wan's hand without blinking, with disbelief in their eyes.

Even King Rui stood up at once.

"Wow wow wow..."

The child was frightened and cried.

But now was obviously not the time to coax the child, so Cheng Wan just kept his head down and presented the jade seal.

However, the others were startled back to their senses by the crying of the child.

"Changfu!"

Chang Fu, who was standing behind King Rui, swallowed his saliva, ran over quickly, and held up the box with both hands.

"Eunuch Chang, the key."

Cheng Wan took the key from the child's neck and handed it to Chang Fu.

Chang Fu took the key and looked at Cheng Wan deeply.

If there really is a jade seal in the box, then this Mr. Cheng in front of us will really soar to the sky...

Chang Fu walked carefully to King Rui holding the box and the key, placed the box on the table in front of King Rui, then bowed and presented the key to King Rui.

Prince Rui glanced at Cheng Wan, picked up the key and opened the box quickly and efficiently.

The next moment, King Rui's pupils suddenly shrank uncontrollably.

Prince Rui reached out, grasped the seal button, and took out the jade seal.

In the tent, except for Prince Rui who was holding the imperial seal, everyone else knelt down and bowed their heads to Prince Rui.

Prince Rui looked at the jade seal in his hand, especially after seeing the seal on the bottom of the seal, his face, which had been gloomy for several days, finally brightened up and he laughed heartily.

Prince Rui's reaction also indirectly confirmed that the seal was real.

After all, Prince Rui had seen the imperial seal many times before.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

Several generals were even more excited than King Rui. With the imperial seal, they had the authority to command the world.

At the same time, there is no need to worry about the many doubts and troubles that may arise if the imperial seal is missing after the war is won.

Prince Rui put the jade seal away and laughed loudly, "Everyone, get up. Changfu, go and help Master Cheng up and bring him a chair."

Chang Fu hurried to help Cheng Wan.

Cheng Wan looked at Prince Rui flattered: "Your Majesty..."

Prince Rui reached out his hand to stop Cheng Wan from refusing, with a smile on his face, and said in a warm voice: "I am very curious about the story behind this, why don't you tell me about it, Lord Cheng."

The others all looked at Cheng Wan. To be honest, they were also very curious.

"Yes, but Your Majesty..." Cheng Wan shook the crying child with an embarrassed look on his face.

Prince Rui put down the imperial seal and said in an ambiguous tone, "I forgot about him. Is this child my...nephew?"

"Replying to Your Highness, the group of people who took the jade seal and the child called the child the Little Master, and said that their master asked them to take the Little Master away from home, both to leave a descendant for their master and also to think that the Little Master might be able to revive the family business in the future."

Cheng Wan chose a very safe option.

Prince Rui raised his eyebrows, strode to Cheng Wan, lowered his eyes to look at the child who was crying and sweating, reached out and touched the child's head, and chuckled: "He looks a bit like your father, but he is cuter than your father when he was a child."

The eyes of Hong Fangping and several other generals brightened.

This is really one joy after another.

"Changfu, carry him down and take good care of him."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Cheng Wan handed the child to Chang Fu, his eyelashes drooped slightly, and he didn't even look at the crying child.

The child had no connection with her from then on.

"Your Highness, the jade seal and this child bumped into each other on their own."

Cheng Wan narrated the whole incident in detail and clearly.

Of course, when it comes to Jin Jin, we have to make up some lies.

After Cheng Wan finished speaking, the people in the tent looked at Cheng Wan with indescribable complexity.

It was Prince Rui who first broke the silence in the tent.

"Master Cheng's luck and strength are truly first-rate. I am a little envious."

With an obvious smile and a look of intimacy on his face, Prince Rui pointed at Cheng Wan and teased.

Isn’t it enviable?

Hong Fangping and several other generals were so envious of Cheng Wan that their eyes turned red.
