The imperial envoy hurried forward but was still a step too late.

When the imperial envoy returned to Kyoto, the whole city was like a boiling pot, bubbling.

People hang up lanterns and perform dragon and lion dances.

People were celebrating enthusiastically on the streets, wearing new clothes that they only wear during the Chinese New Year.

There were bursts of drums and blasts of firecrackers.

"Duke Yun is truly a role model for our generation! Reclaiming the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun will be a great achievement for generations to come!"

"When it comes to heroes in the world, I only admire the Duke of Yun! She is the one who truly practices what she preaches, and does what she says!"

“Who was the one who was shouting that Duke Yun would definitely lose?!” Song Da’s hair was disheveled, and he was almost going crazy with joy!

Song Dazheng was sitting at the tea table, full of vigor and vitality: "All the officials in the court said that we should not pursue desperate enemies and should not go north again! General Longwu Li Aotian also swore to heaven that if we want to capture the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, it will take at least a month if there is enough food and grass!"

Song Da said with spit flying: "What's the truth?! Just tell me the truth! Did Duke Yun get slapped in the face?!"

Song Da was so arrogant, but the tea drinkers were not annoyed at all. Instead, they shouted in unison: "Slap in the face!"

Song Da shook his arms and shouted: "Is Duke Yun powerful?!"

“Powerful!”

Song shouted until his voice broke: "Will Duke Yun live forever in good name?!"

"My reputation will live forever!"

A group of tea drinkers, who used to be very pretentious, sipped their tea and ate snacks, looking so carefree.

Today, everyone no longer cared about their image and shouted like crazy.

The owner of Fuquan Teahouse looked at this scene with tears in his eyes. He said one sentence, pushing the atmosphere to a climax: "To celebrate Duke Yun's conquest of the north and his eternal meritorious service, all the drinks and tea in Fuquan Teahouse are free today!"

"The boss is righteous!"

At this time, a tea drinker in the corner seemed to be unable to hide his excitement any longer, and shouted: "Master, you are so generous, I won't argue with you. I will pay for all the expenses today, except for the drinks and tea!"

"Thank you, my dear!"

The entire Fuquan Teahouse was immersed in a sea of ​​joy.

After venting his long suppressed emotions, Song Da squeezed out of the crowd, came to the owner of Fuquan Teahouse, and started talking.

"Fuck you! I thought those twelve golden orders were rewards from the government to the soldiers on the front line, but it turns out they were all orders to withdraw the troops! In order to make an example of someone else, the government even deliberately dismissed Mr. He, the governor of Shuozhou!"

Song Da's face was flushed with blood. "How can such an official be called the ruler of a country? Fortunately, Duke Yun is really tough! Despite the huge pressure, he managed to take back the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun and the large grassland in the north!"

The owner of Fuquan Tea House understood Song Da's feelings very well, and still advised him quietly: "The times are different now, Mr. Song needs to be careful with his words and actions."

Song Da was very depressed: "Thank you for your kindness, Master. I understand."

Compared with the lights and decorations in the common people, the palace was as silent as if a dark cloud was covering the city.

The palace maids and eunuchs moved very carefully, wishing they could treat themselves like wooden figures.

In the Qinzheng Hall, there was a constant sound of porcelain falling to the ground and officials cursing at their incompetence.

"Asshole! How dare Gu Nanxi disobey the order? How could she treat the twelve golden orders as nothing?!"

"Does she really regard me as her master?!"

"Damn it, damn it all!"

Concubine Tong and the Queen came to the Qinzheng Hall at the same time. When they heard the emperor's scolding, their faces changed.

The queen had a stern face and warned the guards and palace maids around her: "If even one word of what the emperor said gets out, you will be beheaded!"

The Queen turned to Concubine Tong and said, "Sister, you are deeply loved by the Emperor. Why don't you..."

Concubine Tong was holding a health-preserving soup in her hand. When she heard the noise in the Qinzheng Hall, she felt as if she was imprisoned with a ferocious beast, and she couldn't help feeling a little scared.

However, the emperor hasn't had any soup for several days.

Concubine Tong looked at the health-preserving soup in her hand, her eyes darkened, she became ruthless, took a deep breath, and knocked on the door of the Qinzheng Hall.

"Get in!"

Concubine Tong pushed open the door and saw the floor tiles were covered with porcelain fragments, leaving almost no place to step.

The official had disheveled hair, bloodshot eyes, and flaring nostrils, and he was lying on his back on the wide dragon throne.

When his gaze fell over, Concubine Tong felt a chill all over her body, as if she was being stared at by a snake.

Imperial Concubine Tong forced a smile, holding the soup, and tiptoed around the debris on the ground, saying coquettishly, "Sir, even if the sky falls, it is not as important as your health. The imperial physician has told you to be modest and calm."

Concubine Tong sat down beside the couch, stirred the health-preserving soup with a spoon, and handed a spoonful to the emperor: "This soup has been simmered over low heat for two hours. How does it taste?"

The young emperor did not open his mouth, but stared at Concubine Tong with his pair of black eyes until Concubine Tong's heart was trembling, then he spoke.

"At the morning court today, Grand Tutor Tong said that my dismissal of He Yunyan was a foolish act and asked me to revoke my decision. What do you think?"

Concubine Tong was startled, but her face was innocent and naive: "Your Majesty, you really are such a fool. You know I know nothing about these things, so why do you test me with such questions? But I think that you are the master of the whole world, how can you be wrong?"

The young emperor let out a strange laugh, took the bowl of soup from Concubine Tong, tilted his head back, and drank it all in one gulp.

Seeing that the emperor had finished his soup, Concubine Tong felt relieved. The next second, she was startled by the emperor's question and broke into a cold sweat: "Are you close to Gu Nanxi? What do you think of her?"

Concubine Tong turned away and said angrily: "I am not as capable as Duke Yun. Why does the emperor always step on my sore spot?"

Not only was the young emperor not angry, but he hugged Concubine Tong and coaxed her sinisterly: "How can she compare with you? She is just a dog raised in our family. Even if she can protect herself from outsiders, if I want her to die, she must die!"

Feeling the coldness in the official's words, Imperial Concubine Tong couldn't help but feel a little sad, for the marquis' wife who was the most beautiful lady in Kyoto, and for the Duke of Yun who fought bravely on the battlefield.

Concubine Tong buried her head in the young emperor's chest, and her voice was light and fluttering, as if it would be blown away by the wind: "Your Majesty, aren't you afraid that the dog will jump over the wall when it is desperate?"

The young emperor, with his beautiful wife in his arms, looks through the gate of the Qinzheng Hall and seems to be able to see Yunzhou in the north.

"How can she jump?! I have already broken her dog legs and her teeth. Jumping over the wall?! Haha, it's just like a moth flying into a flame! Even if she knows that I did everything, so what?! I will make her pay back a hundredfold for the humiliation I caused her that day!"

The young emperor felt particularly happy. He believed that at this moment, Gu Nanxi must be furious, gritting his teeth and swallowing blood!

Isn't she awesome? Isn't she tough? Still has to suffer a loss in silence? !

I want everyone in the world to see with their own eyes that there will be no good ending if you follow Gu Nanxi!
