Jiu Ye looked at his former lover and thought of his godson Shangguan Yu.

He felt more and more disgusted by the woman lying on his bed.

"roll."

Wu Zhuoyan looked at Fu Tong'er who was sleeping soundly in Lu Zhenzhi's arms, and continued to lie on the pillowcase where Jiu Ye usually slept.

"Lu Jin, I'm back. Shouldn't you be happy? Yu Ran is your own son."

Lu Zhenzhi held the sleeping Fu Tong'er in his arms and shouted decisively, "Someone come!"

Two servants ran in: "Master Jiu!"

"Throw him out of the Regent's Palace!"

Just then, the voice of Concubine Shu came from behind.

"Lu Jin, since Yan'er has given birth to your legitimate son, you should acknowledge him. You can't give up your own child for Fu Tong'er."

Lu Zhenzhi turned around and saw Shangguan Yu supporting Concubine Shu.

Shangguan Yu clasped his fists and said, "Greetings, Father."

"Hmph." Lu Zhenzhi snorted coldly. He knew exactly who Wu Zhuoyan's child was. "Come here, move my clothes and the Regent's seal to General Fu's residence! Send word to the palace that His Majesty come to the Fu residence immediately to discuss military matters!"

Finally, he turned to Wu Zhuoyan and said, "Last night, she married me. You have three days to tell my mother the truth, otherwise..."

The man turned around indifferently while holding Fu Tong'er.

All the servants in Regent Prince Chun's mansion were transferred to General Fu's mansion.

This is the general's mansion bestowed upon Fu Tong'er by Emperor Jing of Yan.

Fu Mansion in the Imperial City of Dayan

Jiu Ye was guarding the bedside when a guard from the former regent Prince Chun's palace came to report: "Jiu Ye, His Majesty and Prince Bei Ding are here."

The man lowered the curtain.

Empress Jing followed Lu Qixuan and walked in.

There were four people left in the room.

"Prince Regent, you are so generous that you asked me to come to you—to discuss military affairs with her!"

Lu Zhenzhi stood up on his knees and saw a small hand reaching out from behind the bed curtain.

Emperor Jing and Lu Qixuan looked at it together.

Lu Zhenzhi lifted the curtain and went in, tucking Fu Tonger's little hand into the quilt: "Sleep for a while. Be good..."

After saying this, he came out, drew the curtain tightly, and quickly walked to the desk to take the regent's seal. While picking up a pen and dipping it in ink, he said: "My royal brother, Qi is invading, and Qixuan is no small person. I think he should go to the front line to fight the enemy."

After he finished speaking, he stamped the regent's seal, took it and walked to Emperor Jing, without giving Emperor Jing a chance to discuss, and gave the military order to Lu Qixuan.

Fu Tong'er is pregnant, so Lu Zhenzhi cannot leave the city.

Lu Qixuan took the military order and said, "Ninth Imperial Uncle asked me to bring my father to the Fu Mansion to discuss military matters. Oh, Ninth Imperial Uncle, do you still have the emperor and his subjects in your eyes? This is not a discussion! It's an order! It's an imperial decree!"

Lu Zhenzhi sat at the head of the bed and said, "Qixuan, your Ninth Aunt has finally fallen asleep, so just be quiet. Now that you have received my military order, you must immediately dispatch troops to the Yan-Qi border! If you disobey the order, you will be executed."

…

Imperial Palace, Imperial Study

Emperor Jing personally appointed Lu Qixuan as the commander.

"You are my favorite son." Emperor Jing patted Lu Qixuan's armor. "When you grow up and defend your country, come back and I will make you the crown prince."

"Father..."

Emperor Jing's eyes welled up with tears. "Father is old, and his health has been ruined by the elixirs he's taken. That's why you, the Ninth Uncle, have taken control of the government! Qixuan, you're in great shape! After you ascend the throne, you must seize military power! Get rid of the regent! Only then will you be a true emperor, not like Father..."

As he spoke, tears streamed down his face. "Your father has been held hostage by your Ninth Uncle his entire life. You must not allow a side branch to seize my throne!"

"Father!" Lu Qixuan knelt down and cried bitterly, "I will definitely live up to your trust!"

"I am also tired. I have fought with your Ninth Uncle for a lifetime. When you return victorious, I will reward you with military merits, make you the Crown Prince, give you supreme power, and help you ascend to the throne of the Son of Heaven!"

"I'll remember this."

Imperial City, Fu Mansion

The bedroom is inside the main courtyard.

Jiu Ye was coaxing Fu Tong'er to have dinner when suddenly a black cat knocked on the window.

"Nineth Master!"
