If the emperor doesn't value it, then this pawn is useless.

Xiao Qingyin thought to herself.

This is probably why the imperial concubine encouraged the emperor to bestow her upon Fu Junshi as a secondary wife.

She asked a few more questions before letting Yi Jiu leave.

The next day, she went to the general's mansion to discuss countermeasures with Yun Wanyin, only to be told, "My husband has given up his military power and rejected the marriage proposal."

"Uncle Fu has great courage."

Xiao Qingyin exclaimed in amazement.

That's a real man.

Unlike Yi Jiu, who was willing to risk everything and ask him to elope, he was all hesitant and had no motivation at all.

It seems she still has poor taste in men.

We should really reflect on this.

Yun Wanyin sighed, "I never expected him to go this far."

She was both touched and heartbroken.

No one knows better than her how much he has sacrificed over the years to maintain peace and tranquility in Liaodong.

If she could enter the palace, she would rush to the emperor and ask him if he knew how many injuries this person had suffered, how much blood he had shed, and how many nights he had endured.

Even if you suspect him and want him to return his military power, you should do it in a more dignified way.

Instead of forcing him into a marriage by threatening to marry him.

Fifteen years ago, she was disappointed in Emperor Chengtai.

Now I've been disappointed again.

Such a person is not worthy of sitting on the dragon throne.

“It’s good that Uncle Fu has stepped down,” Xiao Qingyin comforted. “You don’t need to go back to Liaodong. You can stay in the capital and live a peaceful life with your maternal grandmother.”

Yun Wanyin nodded.

"Yes, that's what I think too."

The two chatted over tea, and Fu Weiyun, who had just returned from his morning exercise, joined in the conversation.

Just as they were having a pleasant conversation, the steward rushed in, looking alarmed, and said, "Madam, the seventh young lady from the Marquis of Xuanyi's mansion has arrived. She said that if the master doesn't allow her to enter, she will smash her head against the stone lion at the gate and die."
