Lou Yan seemed stupid and obedient like a doll that could be squeezed into a round or flat shape.

Xiao Li teased him for a few times, but felt it was boring so he just let him go to see how long he could hold it in.

Yang Jun went to inform Song Junzhan personally, but was afraid that he would be too excited and others would know, so he said that Hongyue wanted to ask him to come over for something.

So Song Junzhan walked over calmly, and when he saw Xiao Li sitting there for the first time, he was so excited that he almost fainted.

Xiao Li was startled and stood up quickly.

Fortunately, Yang Jun helped Song Junzhan and prevented him from falling.

He calmed down and looked at Xiao Li who had walked in front of him. He asked with concern: "Are you okay? Are you so easily frightened?"

He felt a little dizzy at the moment, and thought that he had gone crazy from reviewing too many memorials. How could he see the emperor talking to him?

But he didn't have time to think too much, his only thought was to hug her, hug the living her.

He thought so and did so, and even kissed her boldly when he hugged her.

Hongyue and the others were stunned and quickly turned around, not forgetting to pull Yang Jun out. They should not be an eyesore here at this time.

After they all left and closed the door, Yang Jun startled him by saying, "Has Lou Yan not come out yet?"

Wow!

Hongyue's expression was tangled: "It should... not be important..."

Lan Yue was very calm: "It's His Majesty who should be worried. Don't worry, His Majesty can handle it."

Hongyue and Yang Jun looked at her together, expressing their agreement with their eyes.

Lou Yan, who was trapped inside, didn't notice that the door was closed at all. His sight was only focused on the two people kissing. His originally numb and depressed eyes were now sharp and gloomy, revealing murderous intent.

Unfortunately, neither of them paid any attention to him.

No matter how much Song Junzhan kissed her, it was never enough, but he knew that he couldn't go too far. He reluctantly separated from her and gently held her in his arms.

"How long has your majesty been awake?"

"About two or three hours."

Song Junzhan sighed, feeling annoyed: "I didn't know that Your Majesty had woken up for so long. It's my fault."

Xiao Li patted his arm and said, "Let me go first."

It feels weird being held by him like this.

Song Junzhan reluctantly let go, then took two steps back, straightened his sleeves, and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, I, Song Junzhan, kowtow to you and congratulate you on your recovery. I wish you a smooth life, free from illness and disaster, good health, and eternal peace."

Xiao Li's life will never be peaceful, but who doesn't like to hear good wishes?

She reached out to help Song Junzhan, and just as he was about to get up, Xiao Li suddenly had an idea and pushed him back.

Song Junzhan was slightly surprised, but he knelt down obediently and looked at her: "Your Majesty?"

Xiao Li lowered her eyes and looked at him for a moment, then lifted his chin with her fingertips, bent down and kissed him. After the kiss, she was satisfied.

Song Junzhan is a little taller than her. When he hugged and kissed her just now, she always felt something was wrong. But now it’s right.

Song Junzhan was very smart and understood what Xiao Li was thinking in an instant.

He couldn't help but laugh, and he stopped being anxious: "I can kneel all the time. Your Majesty, would you like to kiss me for a while longer?"

Xiao Li pinched his face: "You are so beautiful, why don't you get up quickly."

The two sat opposite each other and drank tea, and Song Junzhan told Xiao Li about what had happened in the court over the past year.

The loss of part of Yue's territory and the rebellion of the three kings were his dereliction of duty, but it was a helpless move.

When Xiao Li was in a coma, he detained envoys from other countries in order to cover up the fact. However, Xiao Li did not wake up for a month, and the truth could not be concealed.

They also thought about finding a woman to disguise herself as His Majesty and get away with it, but even if it was just a substitute, it would be difficult to find a woman who would make them willingly kneel down to the throne.

After repeated delays, the truth was finally revealed.

When the news of the empress's coma spread, several countries sent troops to demand the release of the envoy. In order to avoid war, he released him.

As for the rebellion of the three kings, he tacitly approved it.

The fiefs of the three kings are all on the frontier. If they rebel, they will certainly not allow other countries to attack their fiefs. He only needs to use the existing army to guard the central hinterland, so that the three rebel kings will not dare to send troops to the court, and the world will be defended.

Of course, all this is only temporary.

Surrounded by wolves, there will be a battle eventually, and all he can do is delay.

As long as we can deter the other side from sending troops for one day, we will have one day to develop.

Grow crops, cast weapons and armor, and train the army and cavalry.

Over the past year, the imperial court has become visibly stronger, making the three rebel kings increasingly afraid to send troops. Now they are caught between the imperial court and other countries, caught in a dilemma.

Song Junzhan looked at Xiao Li tenderly: "Now that His Majesty has awakened, it is the best time to recapture them."

He is not good at fighting and can only manage the government and do logistics, but he has an emperor who is good at fighting and loves war. He just needs to make all preparations and wait for her to wield the sword across the world and be invincible.

Xiao Li met his gaze and looked back at him. In a year, his appearance had not changed, and his temperament was still as ethereal, but he was more calm than before. Even though he had restrained himself in front of her, he still exuded the majesty of a man in power.

Once a prime minister becomes the leader, he is above everyone else, so his temperament is naturally different.

Men who are engaged in business are indeed very attractive.

"There's no rush to recover lost territory."

Now the outside is like a hornet's nest. No matter where she moves, she will be attacked from all directions.

The best way is to first govern the territory that is currently in your hands, so that the people are prosperous, the army is strong, and the territory is as solid as an iron fortress. Then no matter how many bees there are, they will just be a mob.

As for the three rebellious kings, they could not send troops directly, but had to repair the plank road openly and secretly attack Chencang.

Don't be impatient.

Xiao Li suddenly remembered something and asked Hong Yue beside him, "Where's Rong Qing?"

Song Junzhan replied, "A month ago, there was a fire in Longxigou that burned down several workshops. I discussed it with General Rong, and he led his troops to garrison there while he investigated the cause."

"They haven't dared to resort to military action for over a year. The reason is because of the powerful firearms Your Majesty holds. So, while they've been quiet on the surface, they've actually been secretly trying to get their hands on them. Those fake workshops we built previously fooled them for over a year, but this time they found Longxigou and set it on fire. Fortunately, those workshops were above ground, and the underground ones weren't damaged at all."

In order to hold the hot weapons in his hands, Xiao Li's defense is composed of countless levels and various mazes, which are not so easy to get.

"But you let Rong Qing go there, wasn't it to prove that there was indeed something there?"

Song Junzhan smiled and said, "Whenever there was trouble somewhere before, General Rong and General Yang would take turns going out, for a period of three days at the shortest and one or two months at the longest."

The main purpose is to confuse the enemy.

Xiao Li chuckled: "What a cunning fox."

He is the chief of the civil officials, so he must have quite a few tricks up his sleeve.
