The cold husband can't warm me up, I don't love him anymore

"Ali, we've been walking for a long time, go back and lie down for a while!"

Cui Lingyi couldn't help but glance at Jiulie in the distance.

"Are you hiding something from me? Jiulie wants to report some news to you, right?"

Shen Du's eyes flashed, and just as he was about to speak, Cui Lingyi quickly interrupted him.

"Don't try to fool me again. Have you forgotten the pain? Don't you remember how we had a misunderstanding before? Is there anything you don't want me to know?"

"Ali." Shen Du smiled and scratched her face.

"Our Ah Li has recovered well recently and has become interested in military affairs."

Cui Lingyi rolled her eyes at him.

"Do you think I'm stupid? Jiulie is obviously hiding from me. You must have told him to do something and not let me know. Since it's related to me, of course I want to know. Let him come over quickly. I also want to know what it is."

"You are such a difficult person to deal with..."

Shen Du looked at her helplessly and had to wave Jiulie over.

After listening to Jiulie's report, Cui Lingyi couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"Hasn't the army already gone back? Why is His Majesty urging you to return to the capital as soon as possible?"

After waking up, she knew what happened after the war.

After the great victory in the northern border, Shen Du, as the commander-in-chief, was supposed to return to the court immediately to accept the reward from Emperor Wen.

But because she was injured, Shen Du asked his deputy general Liu Yunshang to lead the army back.

Of course, he also submitted a memorial to Emperor Wen, explaining the reason for postponing his return to the court.

For some unknown reason, Emperor Wen issued three memorials in a row, asking Shen Du to return to the capital as soon as possible.

"Why else?" Shen Du sneered.

"Our emperor is still afraid after all."

He looked at Cui Lingyi and said calmly, "Do you still remember that stone?"

Cui Lingyi understood, "Flying rocks from the sky?"

"Yes." Shen Du nodded. "At the beginning, I asked someone to replace it with a fake one. Later, the fake stone was blown up. Now there is no trace of it anywhere. Where is the stone that Emperor Wen asked about in the edict?!"

Cui Lingyi was stunned for a moment, but soon understood.

"I guess he's not asking about this stone, but about the gunpowder technique?"

Shen Du curled his lips.

"Ali is so smart, she hit the nail on the head with just one sentence."

"Liu Yunshang only brought back the army, but did not bring back any news about gunpowder. Emperor Wen may not be able to wait any longer!"

"Come to think of it, the King of Linjiang is with us now, the longer the night, the more trouble there is!"

After hearing this, Cui Lingyi also understood the pros and cons.

Now that Shen Du has led his army to pacify the northern border, his reputation in the court is rising higher and higher.

The most important thing is, he is the only one who knows what gunpowder is that can blow the northerners into a bloody mess without any soldiers.

But there is also the King of Linjiang by his side.

Although Xie Jin had never been interested in the throne, he was still a prince after all.

The two of them spend every day together in this northern border, and who knows what kind of thoughts they might come up with.

She guessed that Emperor Wen must be very regretful at this moment for allowing Xie Jin to join the army.

"What should we do? How about we go back soon? I've gotten much better in the past few days."

Cui Lingyi suggested.

Shen Du shook his head repeatedly, his eyes cold and stern.

"I entered the court as an official at the age of sixteen, and it has been almost eight years now. For the court and for His Majesty, I have done many cruel and heartless things..."

At this point, a trace of pain flashed across his handsome face.

"And it brought disaster upon you."

"I think I have done a good job for the court and His Majesty. If he wants to doubt me, then let him be!"

As he spoke, he glanced at Jiulie who was keeping his head down and silent.

"Go down and find Wang Can, and ask him to draft a memorial according to my opinion, and have someone send it back quickly."

Wang Can is someone close to Shen Du and is usually responsible for some clerical work.

Writing memorials for Shen Du is also part of my job.

Cui Lingyi quickly asked Jiulie to stop and turned to look at Shen Du.

"It would be better if you write this kind of memorial yourself. Now that you have made great achievements, if you don't pay attention to your words and actions, people will think you are arrogant."

"Even if you have been upright all your life and have no other thoughts, you should still speak in a more pleasant way..."

Before she could finish her words, Shen Du smiled with the corners of his lips curled up.

"Ali is really amazing. She even knows about the affairs of the court. It seems that after we get married, I have to listen to Ali on many things."

Cui Lingyi felt a little embarrassed by his praise.

"I'm just saying what's on my mind... Do you think I'm showing off my knowledge?"

"No." Shen Du laughed. "In that case, I'll have to trouble Ah Li to go to the study with me and help me write this memorial."

Having said this, he stood up, took Cui Lingyi's arm and left.

Jiulie, who was hesitant a minute ago because of accepting a hot job, finally smiled happily.

After all, this kind of memorial has a bit of an apology in its meaning, so naturally it would be best if it was written by the person himself.

If Wang Can was really allowed to write the letter, he would definitely be found guilty by the censors after it was sent back to the capital.

My master has just made great contributions and was granted the title of Duke. If he is reported for this, he will inevitably suffer some humiliation.

How can I get married happily after returning to Beijing?

Or does Madam have a solution?

Jiulie looked at the two men's backs with satisfaction and was about to leave.

Just as he turned around, he saw Buddha's hand staring at him not far away.

"Ma'am, why are you here? I was just about to go look for you!"

Buddha's hand snorted.

"You just stood here for a long time thinking, what were you thinking about? Are you planning something bad?"

Hearing this, Jiulie scratched his head.

"What bad idea could I have? I just want you and your wife to get married soon! We can have a few days of peace!"

"Do you really think so?!" Buddha's hand glared at him deliberately.

"I really think so. Otherwise, why would I work so hard in front of adults?"

"Hmph, you still know that!" Buddha stepped forward and grabbed Jiulie's hand.

"Then let's go back now. Anyway, we have nothing to do today, so let's eat and rest early."

Upon hearing this, Jiulie's eyes immediately lit up.

I don't know where Buddha's hand heard this from.

It is said that on a certain day, if the couple has sex during those days, they will soon have a child.

Look, these two days are exactly that day.

Buddha's hand is even more novel than him.

But it's too inappropriate for a grown man like him to be dragged away by a woman.

He simply flipped his hand and carried the Buddha's hand on his shoulder.

Run quickly.

"Ah, you barbarian, what are you going to do!"

"This way we can walk faster!" Jiulie responded in a rough voice.

The heavy footsteps soon disappeared.

Cui Lingyi and Shen Du, who had just entered the study, both heard it.

They couldn't help but smile at each other.

They are about to get married.
