What was unexpected was that this matter actually spread to the palace and reached Situ Yao's ears.
Thinking that Chen Yalan had been at her parents' side for a few days, Situ Yao ordered Chen Yalan to enter the palace.
In the imperial study, Situ Yao looked at the returned Chen Yalan and first asked her about her experiences in Tubo. After a moment of silence, she finally spoke: "Do you want to be a general now, or continue to be my concubine in the harem?"
Chen Yalan didn't expect that Situ Yao summoned her personally just to talk to her about this matter.
If she were to tell the truth, she really wanted to tell Situ Yao that she didn't care whether she was a concubine or a general, but the person standing opposite her at this moment was the emperor, and she knew that if she really spoke from her heart, it would definitely make Situ Yao unhappy.
Seeing that Chen Yalan was reluctant to speak, Situ Yao had some understanding in his heart, but how could things be as simple as Chen Yalan thought.
"I know you can't make a decision on this matter right now, but I'm not in a hurry. Think about it carefully when you go back, and give me an answer when you've made up your mind." Situ Yao said, thinking he was understanding.
"Empress, I heard that Chen agreed to return to the palace." Cuihe heard the news and immediately ran to Fuliu and told her the news.
Originally, Fu Liu was lying on the bed, looking depressed, but when he heard Cui He's words, his eyes instantly lit up and he became a little lively.
"What you said is true. Sister Chen has returned to the palace?" Fu Liu couldn't believe the news.
She knew that Chen Yalan had returned victorious, but several days had passed since her return, and Fu Liu had not seen Chen Yalan return to the palace. She thought that Chen Yalan would take this opportunity to leave the palace and never come back, but she did not expect to hear the news that Chen Yalan had returned to the palace at this moment. How could she not be happy?
"Of course it's real, Your Majesty. How could I lie to you?" Cui He was afraid that Fu Liu wouldn't believe her, so she immediately expressed her loyalty.
However, at this moment, Fu Liu could no longer hear what Cui He was saying. There was only one piece of news in her mind that kept hitting her heart.
She's back, she's back, she's finally back.
For some reason, Fu Liu felt her eyes a little sore and tears seemed to be about to fall. She raised her head and forced the tears not to fall.
"Do you know where she is now?" Fu Liu couldn't wait to see Chen Yalan, so he asked Cui He.
Cui He, who was standing by, heard her master asking where Chen Yalan was now. She smiled slightly. She knew that her master would definitely ask, so after knowing the news of Chen Yalan's return, she immediately found out the information, which came in handy at this moment.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I have already inquired clearly. Empress Chen came to the palace today because the emperor summoned her, so she is currently in the imperial study."
"I understand. Let's go and wait for her outside the imperial kitchen." Fu Liu no longer cared about his weak body, so he got up from the bed and let Cuihe support him to the outside of the imperial study.
When Chen Yalan came out of the imperial study, she saw the person she had been thinking about day and night waiting outside the imperial study.
"Help Willow."
She rubbed her eyes in disbelief, but found that it was not an illusion. The person she wanted to see was indeed waiting for her.
"Sister Chen."
Because Fu Liu was weak and the weather was cold, her face was naturally pale. She was afraid that Chen Yalan would notice it, so before she came out, she asked Cui He to put on some makeup for her in front of the dressing table to make her look good.
So, at this moment, Fu Liu just looked a little thinner, nothing else.
"Are you okay?" Fu Liu asked first. She knew that Chen Yalan had experienced serious wars in the border town, and people could lose their lives if they were not careful, so she was very concerned about Chen Yalan's health at this moment.
Chen Yalan was also afraid that Fu Liu would be frightened by her injury, so she ignored her own wounds, which had not yet fully healed, and smiled at Fu Liu: "I'm fine. I'm a general. As long as Zhou Zheng takes command, I don't need to fight on the battlefield myself, so there's nothing wrong."
"That's good." Hearing Chen Yalan say this, Fu Liu breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it turned out that Chen Yalan did not need to go to the battlefield.
The two hadn't seen each other for a long time, so naturally they had endless topics to talk about, so they chatted while walking.
Perhaps because he finally saw the person he wanted to see, Fu Liu's mood improved a lot. He hadn't really smiled for a long time, but now there was a smile on his face.
The same was true for Chen Yalan. She was very nervous on the battlefield. After returning victorious, she went back to her home and spent some time with her parents. Only then did she realize that besides her parents, there was someone she missed even more.
At this moment, she finally saw the person she had been thinking about day and night. Chen Yalan's eyes were full of smiles, and the two of them were talking and laughing.
On the other side, Lu Xian's father also came to the palace. He wanted to remind his daughter. As a father, he naturally understood his daughter. If he didn't remind her of some things, he was afraid that his daughter would be used as a tool by others.
Finally seeing his daughter, Lu Xian's father chatted with Lu Xian about some family matters. Lu Xian's father said directly: "Lu Xian, I know what kind of person you are. Therefore, your father has to remind you that in the harem, don't trust others easily. Be careful of being deceived."
Lu Xian was a little confused by her father's sudden reminder. She didn't know why her father had never paid any attention to her during her long time in the palace, and suddenly came to remind her to be careful and not trust others easily.
Although she didn't understand why her father reminded her, she knew that he was on her side after all. He was definitely reminding her for her own good, so she didn't question it. Instead, she smiled at her father and said, "Don't worry, father. Everyone in the harem is my enemy, so I won't trust anyone easily."
As a father, he was very pleased to see that his daughter did not act arrogantly towards him after becoming the emperor's concubine.
"Well, I'm glad you understand. Father is just reminding you to avoid being taken advantage of by others." Lu Minyan said.
Seeing that his goal for today had been achieved, Lu Minyan did not stay here any longer. After all, he was in the harem, and it was not appropriate for a man like him to stay here for long, so he left after he finished speaking.
