Jin Ting'an walked to the door and said to the guard at the entrance of the imperial study: "I have something to ask the emperor. Please report it to him."
The guard clasped his fists and pushed the door open.
"Your Majesty, General Jin requests an audience."
Jin Ting'an?
The emperor straightened up and said, "Let someone in."
Jin Ting'an walked in and bowed respectfully.
The emperor did not let him stand up, but instead asked about Yu Yiluo.
"When will Luo'er and Concubine Xian return to the palace?"
Jin Ting'an maintained his salute and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know."
"I don't know?" The emperor said coldly, "You are Luo'er's uncle, but you don't know when Luo'er will come back?"
Jin Ting'an was ashamed. He didn't ask Luo'er, so how could he know?
The emperor is still Luo'er's father.
"Luo'er didn't tell me, so I really don't know."
"Well, get up."
The emperor stood up and looked at Jin Ting'an below with his hands behind his back.
"Go back today and tell Luo'er that I want to select guards for the fifth and sixth princesses. Ask her to help me look."
"Yes, I will tell Luo'er when I get back."
The emperor did not embarrass Jin Ting'an any further, but instead asked, "What do you want from me?"
Since Jin Ting'an came to the imperial study, he must have something important to tell him.
If she really made things difficult for Jin Ting'an, Luo'er knew that she would definitely make up stories in her mind about him being a tyrant.
"Your Majesty, I am here because of the affairs of the Qiang State."
The emperor sat back in his chair with a serious expression.
"Although the Qiang State is restless, it has not taken any action that would overstep its bounds. I know you want to send troops, but don't forget that sending troops now will only accelerate the process of reaching a cooperation between the two countries. Do you still want to do that?"
Jin Tingan was silent for a moment, then said seriously, "I want to sneak in and take a look at the situation before making a decision."
The emperor's face darkened. "Infiltration? Last time, it was Princess Xitong. If something happens again this time, how will I explain it to Concubine Luo'erxian?"
"This is indeed risky. Why not try what Luo'er said?"
"What did Luo'er say?"
When the emperor heard about Yu Yiluo, he became interested.
"If we can make the princess of the Li Kingdom useless and replace the Li Kingdom with a crown prince who understands the overall situation, then the Qiang Kingdom will not be able to cause much trouble."
The emperor raised his eyebrows. Luo'er wanted to replace the leaders of the two countries with more honest people.
Could it be that Luo'er already has an idea?
"How easy is it to make that princess a cripple? What's more, Prince Duan is still staying at the princess's residence. The princess is stupid, but Prince Duan is not."
Prince Duan wants to make a comeback by relying on the power of the Crown Princess, so how could he let the Crown Princess lose power?
"Alright, let's not talk about the Qiang Kingdom anymore," the emperor said, looking at Jin Ting'an. "I know you're worried about Princess Xitong and her brother being imprisoned, so you want to send troops. But from what I know, the Khan of the Qiang Kingdom is not a worthy ruler. He doesn't have the imperial seal, and he imprisoned his brother to get it."
As long as the Khan of the Qiang Kingdom cannot get the imperial seal, he will not kill the second prince of the Qiang Kingdom.
Jin Ting'an did not deny that it was indeed partly because of Princess Xitong.
"Your Majesty is absolutely right. I was reckless."
"If you have nothing else, please leave."
Jin Ting'an walked to the door of the imperial study and was stopped by the emperor again.
"Remember to tell Luo'er when you go back, don't forget."
Jin Ting'an: "..."
I thought the emperor had something else to tell me.
…
What the emperor didn't know was that Yu Yiluo showed no interest at all when she learned about this.
"Uncle, did you go to see daddy today?"
Yu Yiluo suddenly smelled something and stared at Jin Ting'an with blinking eyes.
[What could my uncle possibly want from my father? He's from Qiang country?]
[It seems that being in the same room last night wasn't for nothing. Now I'm thinking about saving my brother-in-law.]
"Well, my uncle went to discuss the affairs of the Qiang Kingdom with the Emperor."
Jin Ting'an did not hide the fact that his niece was not an ordinary child and was very sharp-minded, so there was no need to fool her.
"Is my uncle planning to send troops to rescue my aunt's brother?"
Yu Yiluo's big eyes turned into crescent shapes when she smiled, and Jin Ting'an vaguely saw a hint of teasing in her eyes.
"Don't worry, uncle," Yu Yiluo patted Jin Ting'an's hand and said comfortingly, "Aunt's brother will be fine."
[He later ascended the throne, so he wouldn't die. Furthermore, the current foolish Khan didn't get the imperial seal, so he naturally wouldn't kill the second prince.]
[This second prince is truly miserable. As soon as he ascends the throne, he has to clean up the mess and clean up the mess for his useless brother.]
"Xiao Luo'er is so thoughtful," Jin Ting'an smiled and raised his hand to touch her head.
"What did you say to your uncle to make him so happy?"
Concubine Xian and Xitong walked in from outside and looked at Yu Yiluo.
Yu Yiluo blinked, "My uncle went to my father to ask for troops but was rejected. I was comforting him."
Upon hearing this, Xitong looked at Jin Tingan, and the smile on her face disappeared instantly.
"General, you are so reckless. As a general, being so careless is not only playing with the lives of your soldiers, but also playing with your own life."
She didn't know whether Jin Ting'an was unhappy because of her, but no matter whether it was or not, she would not be happy.
Because this is not what she wants to see. She said that she wanted to use Jin Tingan, but she didn't really want to use him. She just hoped that he could help her while considering the overall situation.
If he really wanted to use Jin Ting'an to save his brother, he could just use the previous life-saving favor to threaten Jin Ting'an.
"Sister-in-law is right."
Empress Xian truly admires the woman in front of her from the bottom of her heart. Not everyone can say what Xitong said.
Many people ignore everything else when it comes to their children's personal affairs.
Jin Ting'an didn't say anything, just pursed his lips.
Yu Yiluo's eyes moved between Jin Ting'an and Xi Tong.
【Hahaha, why is my uncle acting like a kid who has done something wrong?】
"You guys chat, I'll go out for a walk."
Jin Ting'an stood up and walked out past Xitong.
After leaving the main hall, Jin Ting'an remembered the scar on Xitong's hand, turned around and walked directly towards Xitong's yard.
"General, are you looking for the princess?"
The maid was puzzled. Didn’t the princess go to the front yard?
How could these two miss each other?
"No, I'm looking for you."
The maid's eyes widened. "Looking for...looking for a servant?"
"Well, you don't have to be nervous."
Jin Ting'an said softly, "Ask about your princess."
When the two of them walked into the house, Jin Ting'an got straight to the point.
"What's with the scar on your princess's arm?"
The maid looked hesitant and looked down at her sleeves.
The Scar Princess didn't seem to have any intention of letting the general know. Would it be bad if she told her?
But the general's family treated the princess very well. Today, the old general even asked someone to find a chef who could cook Qiang cuisine.
Forget it. If the princess blames you, she will be punished.
"you do not know?"
Seeing that she didn't speak for a long time, Jin Ting'an frowned. This maid was indeed the personal maid of Princess Xitong before. How could she not know?
"I know."
The maid raised her eyes, her face full of anger.
