Xiao Jinghan followed Chang Chou to the palace to meet Emperor Wen. When Emperor Wen saw him, he asked about his health with concern and continued to comfort and encourage him.

After some pleasantries, Emperor Wen even invited the imperial physician to personally examine Xiao Jinghan to ensure he had no injuries or residual illnesses. After a careful diagnosis, the physician reported to Emperor Wen that Xiao Jinghan was in good health, which finally put Emperor Wen at ease.

To show his respect and care for Xiao Jinghan, Emperor Wen decided to give him a group of carefully selected secret guards. These secret guards were not only experienced in battle and highly skilled in martial arts, but also loyal to their masters, and could become Xiao Jinghan's most reliable force.

After thanking Emperor Wen for his generous reward, Xiao Jinghan left the palace and returned to his residence. However, just as he entered the palace, the procession sent by Emperor Wen arrived with gifts. Eunuch Gao, accompanied by a group of attendants, presented several carriages laden with rare treasures. These treasures were dazzling and glittering, each one a rarity, truly breathtaking.

Eunuch Gao smiled kindly, "Oh, Prince Xiao! These things were specially sent to you by His Majesty! When you go out in the future, remember to bring your secret guards and bodyguards with you. Never go out alone. Look, you've really made His Majesty very anxious this time!"

The corners of Xiao Jinghan's mouth rose slightly, revealing a smile as gentle as jade, and he responded softly: "Eunuch Gao is absolutely right. It was indeed Jinghan who acted rashly this time. I wonder if His Majesty from the General's Mansion has given Luo Lingyue a gift of comfort?" His voice was clear and pleasant, like the sound of nature, which made people feel happy.

Eunuch Gao replied with a smile, "Of course we have. We will set off to the General's Mansion immediately and personally deliver these things to County Lady Luo!"

Xiao Jinghan lowered his head, looking somewhat guilty and uneasy, like a child who had made a mistake. He said softly, "Eunuch Gao, it's all because of me that Miss Luo was implicated this time. The Third Young Master didn't allow me to see Miss Luo alone again. I guess he has his own considerations. Regarding this, I..."

Eunuch Gao had watched Xiao Jinghan grow up, so he naturally knew what he was thinking. He smiled, nodded in understanding, and comforted him, "Don't worry too much, Master Xiao! If you ever wish to meet Miss Luo privately, our family will do our utmost to assist you and plead with His Majesty on your behalf..."

Hearing this, Xiao Jinghan bowed his head gratefully and responded in a low voice: "Thank you, Eunuch Gao!"

After Eunuch Gao delivered the precious treasures bestowed by Emperor Wen to the general's mansion, he immediately returned to the palace without delay.

At this moment, Emperor Wen had already heard from Chang Chou what Luo Lingzhang said on the deserted island, and now he also listened to what Xiao Jinghan said as relayed by Eunuch Gao.

Immediately afterwards, Emperor Wen also thought about what happened in the general's mansion as reported to him by the secret guards.

Finally, Emperor Wen couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Hahahahahaha... It seems that only my son-in-law can subdue that naughty monkey-like Luo Xiaoqi!"

After saying this, Emperor Wen immediately turned to look at Concubine An beside him and said, "My beloved, from now on, I will have to rely on you to create an opportunity for them to meet!"

Hearing this, Concubine An chuckled softly and charmingly in response, "Your Majesty, you are so kind! Don't forget that Luo San is an extremely intelligent and cunning man! I'm afraid that my little tricks will be seen through by him after just a few attempts!"

Luo Lingyue had been imprisoned in Wanyuewu for a day and a night. It was only in the early morning that she finally asked to go to Zuiyuelou to check the account books. However, Luo Lingzhang sneered in response, "I've already sent the housekeeper to inform Baizhi! Even without you checking the accounts, Zuiyuelou will still be able to thrive and generate a lot of money!"

Before leaving the room, Luo Lingzhang turned to the maids, Linglong and Liuli, and sternly instructed them, "Keep a close eye on your young lady for me! If she dares to even step out of the General's Mansion, you two will be made into living figurines!"

Then, he turned his gaze to his mother and sister-in-law, warning them, "If you dare release Xiao Qi from the General's Mansion, then the long-awaited sisters' tea party will be ruined! As for sister-in-law, I will send all your weapons back to the Jing'an Marquis' Mansion! After all, it's not appropriate for someone who is pregnant to wield swords and guns!"

Faced with Luo Lingzhang's threat, An Qingyi and Chen Manting were both silent, not daring to utter a word of rebuttal.

Luo Lingyue was fuming with rage, stamping her feet and shouting, "Luo Lingzhang, you're so audacious! How dare you threaten Mother and Sister-in-law! I'll tell Father and Brother about this. When they come back, they'll punish you severely and skin you alive!"

Facing his sister's rebuke, Luo Lingzhang remained remarkably calm and composed. His face, usually as gentle as jade, remained as calm as water, without a ripple. He simply replied, "If that's the case, you can go and report the news now. Using the mansion's carrier pigeons will be faster than using a messenger!" As he finished speaking, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing a subtle smile.

Luo Lingyue was practically exasperated by her brother's attitude. She felt as if her heart had been wounded a thousand times. She couldn't help but scream, "Third sister-in-law! Look at my third brother! You must make the decision for me! Hurry up and show your authority and put the husband in control!"

Chu Qingrui felt very embarrassed when she heard this. She forced a smile, trying to lighten the mood, and said softly, "Xiao Qi, what do you want to buy? How about my sister-in-law go out and buy it for you?" Her words revealed a bit of helplessness and doting.

Chu Qingrui hurriedly led the maid and guards out of the general's mansion; on the other side, An Qingyi looked up at the sky, raised her voice and shouted to Luo Lingyue: "Oh, my good friend invited me to go for a walk in the street! Mother might as well take a look at the new and beautiful styles of phoenix coronet and bridal gown. I won't be home for lunch today!" As soon as the words fell, An Qingyi also hurriedly left the mansion with her personal maid and old woman.

At this moment, Chen Manting looked at Luo Lingyue with a troubled and slightly embarrassed expression and began to explain, "I'm so sorry, Xiaoqi, my mother ordered me to return to the Marquis' Mansion as soon as possible, saying that she missed me very much! So, I have to go back and stay for a few days. Oh, by the way, if you feel bored, you can ask my sister-in-law for some weapons to play with!"

Seeing that everyone she could turn to for help had already left, Luo Lingyue curled her lips helplessly and muttered, "Humph, why are you all so afraid of that big devil Luo San!"
