Chen Heng nodded and pulled her to sit down: "Why is Tian here?"

"Xuanlang has been quite negative these days. He won't say anything when asked. My mother-in-law asked me to ask you, is there something wrong?" Peng Yunzhao asked worriedly.

In the past, Xuanlang would make three or four presentations to the emperor every month, but now he doesn’t make even one. I’m really not used to it.

"You know what I know. You can also see the movements of the court. I think Lord Meng is also worried about these things." Chen Heng felt that for Meng Xuanlang, there were probably too many things to do. He didn't know what to say when he opened his mouth. "Don't worry, everything will be fine."

After Ah Heng said this, Peng Yunzhao knew what was going on. "Oh, Xinyue came here because of Ouyang's matter, right?"

Shen Heng nodded: "She is afraid that Ouyang and the emperor will clash, and she will not be able to protect him then."

"Ouyang has made such a great contribution, if the emperor still wants to blame him, then he is too foolish." Peng Yunzhao said angrily, and deliberately lowered his voice when he said the last word "treason".

"I don't think so. The Great Cong finally has a young general who is good at fighting." There have been six decades of peace. Although there have been constant small disturbances on the border, there have been no real major battles in the past few years. There have been many generals, but not many who have made military achievements.

Peng Yunzhao nodded: "Wu Jin is still the best. He is taking Yuqing out to play again and leaving the two children to be taken care of by Master Wu and Madam Wu."

The two chatted until noon, but Mrs. Peng was worried about her children at home and stopped talking.

In March, when the spring breeze was blowing, Ouyang En returned to the imperial capital.

He was so exhausted that he didn't even have time to rest and went into the palace first.

When Chen Heng, Xia Shi, and Nanny Feng saw him, it was already night. Looking at the tall, dark-skinned man with a firm gaze and a resolute face, the three of them almost didn't dare to recognize him.

"Sister-in-law, Madam Shen, Madam Feng." Ouyang En laughed: "Don't you recognize me?"

"Ouyang?" Xia exclaimed.

"I greet General Ouyang." Nanny Feng was so excited that she wanted to bow.

Ouyang quickly helped her up: "Mammy, we are a family, there is no need for these false formalities." After saying that, he burst into laughter again.

Xie Jian on the side said with a smile: "No, I've seen everyone. Your current home is not here."

Chen Heng also smiled and said, "Yes. Your wife has been looking forward to it for the past month."

Ouyang En did not hide his longing for her: "I often think of her even in the military camp. Now I'm leaving." He had already asked the deputy general to inform his wife, and he had something to say to Ajian, so he came here to see everyone first.

After watching Ouyang En leave on horseback, Chen Heng, Xia Shi, and Nanny Feng talked about their feelings for a long time before returning to their respective rooms.

Achan and Tanyun helped the master and the lady to wash and dress, then left and closed the door.

Shen Heng sat on the bed and listened to Xie Jian talking about Ouyang.

"Ouyang handed over the tiger talisman readily." Xie Jian sat down and took the ancestral volume to read. At this time, he no longer needed to go through these volumes to familiarize himself with each person and department, but he was used to it.

"For Ouyang, he only wants to defend his country. The rest is not important to him." Chen Heng knew that Ouyang's thoughts were simple. The emperor did not understand him, and he did not have the patience to understand someone who fought for his dynasty on the battlefield.
