Since Uncle Chen said he could deliver the message, he must know where Lu Yanzheng is.

Sure enough, Chen Bo said, "The general is inspecting the city walls today. Judging by the time, he should be almost at the north gate by now."

The North Gate is the one that was destroyed in the previous bombing, while the South Gate is the gate through which people enter and exit the border city within the territory of Dai Viet.

“Then let’s go to the North Gate!” Jiang Qinyu said directly.

She was originally worried that Lu Yanzheng was working while injured, and she couldn't wait for him to return home before asking him.

She hadn't tried the basic medicine provided by the system yet, so she decided to test it on Lu Yanzheng.

The description of the basic medication states that it treats all basic diseases, which is a very broad scope.

Moreover, many underlying diseases are difficult to treat, or even incurable, and rely entirely on the body's own immune system to survive.

What if Lu Yanzheng also has this disease? Perhaps such an underlying condition would affect his recovery.

If she could cure his underlying medical conditions, she wouldn't feel so guilty.

“Madam, this old servant has a favor to ask of you,” Uncle Chen suddenly said from outside.

Jiang Qinyu smiled and said, "Uncle Chen, what are you saying? What's this about asking for favors? Just tell me what you need."

Just because Uncle Chen helped take care of Shufan and Pan'er these past few days and even safely delivered them to Dingshui Village, she should give him face, shouldn't she?

"You know that kid Xiao Wu, right? This old servant understands that his attitude towards Yu Hanyan and her servant made you feel uncomfortable, but that kid is actually a kind-hearted person. The other day, he was shot in the back by a rocket while protecting the general. Luckily, he didn't die."

"Well, the military medical department said he can be moved back to the general's mansion tomorrow. This old servant just wanted to ask you for a favor: during his time of injury, could you please not give him the cold shoulder?"

Uncle Chen was in a difficult position when he said these words. After all, Xiao Wu was so stubborn that he almost openly turned against Madam. Although he didn't in the end, he figured that Madam must have been unhappy.

But people are most vulnerable when they are injured. Xiao Wu was injured while saving the general, so he shamelessly begged the lady for a favor.

Once that kid recovers, he'll make him apologize to Madam!

"Was that Xiao Wu the person that day?" Jiang Qinyu's eyes widened in surprise.

At that moment, she only saw several rockets being fired at Lu Yanzheng, and before her rocket launcher fired its shell, someone did stand in front of Lu Yanzheng, but they were too far away for her to see who it was.

Uncle Chen was also a little surprised, "Did Madam see it?"

"I didn't see it very clearly," Jiang Qinyu mumbled.

What happened that day cannot be discussed in detail, otherwise many things will be difficult to explain.

"Sigh, it was that day. I only found out later. Yesterday, I went to see him with Lao Wang and a few others. His back was all burned. They say a big piece of flesh was cut off..." Uncle Chen said, feeling frightened.

Jiang Qinyu understood now. It was probably because Xiao Wu looked so miserable that Uncle Chen couldn't bear to see him suffer any more, so he went all out to plead for him.

However, in Jiang Qinyu's eyesight, Xiao Wu had no other bad habits besides being blind. He was very fast at doing chores, and his loyalty was beyond question, as evidenced by his ability to shield Lu Yanzheng from arrows.

"I thought it was something serious, Uncle Chen, you're overthinking it. Xiao Wu and I are fine. He'll be back tomorrow, so please have Uncle Zhao get him some good food to help him recover. He's a young man, he needs to get better quickly," Jiang Qinyu said with a smile.

Upon hearing that she seemed to have no grudges, Uncle Chen immediately nodded in agreement, "Then this old servant thanks Madam on behalf of Xiao Wu!"

As they talked, they soon arrived at the north gate.

Meanwhile, the Seventh Prince's bodyguards, who had ridden at breakneck speed and exhausted more than a dozen horses, returned to the capital and took Liu Ruyi directly to the Golden Palace.

"What happened?" The emperor looked at the disheveled Liu Ruyi with surprise, then looked up at the Seventh Prince's bodyguard, Eleven.

"Your Majesty, this woman is treacherous and cunning, with a deep mind. She has falsely claimed credit. The Seventh Prince has sent his subordinates to escort her back for Your Majesty's judgment," the Eleventh Prince said, bowing.

His voice was cold and devoid of any emotion, sounding like a heartless machine.

The emperor was even more puzzled. He then opened the letter sent back by the seventh prince, read it quickly, and his expression became very complicated.

"Liu Ruyi, is what Xiao Qi said true?" The emperor found it absurd. How could anyone dare to do such a thing in front of him? Especially a woman.

At this critical moment of life and death, Liu Ruyi had a flash of inspiration. The person who had been ashen-faced suddenly looked up at the emperor as if he had found hope.

"Your Majesty! You must do justice for me!" Liu Ruyi burst into tears.

The emperor was somewhat bewildered. "You deceived me and now you expect me to stand up for you?"

Has this woman lost her mind?

Liu Ruyi, however, seemed to be wary of the eleventh prince behind her. She quickly crawled towards the emperor on her knees, grabbed his leg, and said, "Your Majesty, the seventh prince is going to rebel!"

"What?"

"You're talking nonsense!"

The Emperor's and Eleventh Prince's voices rang out simultaneously, one filled with shock, the other with a rare expression of fury.

Liu Ruyi knew this was her last chance, so she blurted out everything she had just thought of.

"The Seventh Prince is conspiring with General Lu Yanzheng to rebel! They clearly have high-yield sweet potatoes, wheat, and rice, but they are not offering them to the Emperor. Moreover, the Seventh Prince left the capital this time to discuss with Lu Yanzheng how to attack the capital from the border city!"

If Your Majesty doesn't believe me, you can send someone to the border town. The Seventh Prince is there right now!

"It is precisely because I discovered the Seventh Prince's secret that he falsely accused me of claiming credit for others' work, and attempted to use the Emperor to silence me!"
