As the emperor, what kind of storms and waves has he not seen?
The panic lasted only for a moment, and the emperor's face showed a look of surprise and joy, making it impossible to tell what was going on.
"I never thought someone would dare to impersonate a general. Even I was fooled..." The emperor looked distressed. "The crime of deceiving the emperor is punishable by death. I will seek justice for the general."
The people were instantly moved when they saw that their king cared so much about the general.
As a result, the emperor gained more support from the people.
Hearing the people whispering, the emperor laughed.
From beginning to end, Fu Yuting just stared at him coldly without saying a word.
However, the big man behind the general heard the emperor's words, his eyes widened with anger, and he wanted to scold the dog emperor.
Fortunately, he was stopped by the tall and strong man next to him.
Fu Yuting said nothing.
Slowly, the sounds around me began to get lower and lower until they disappeared.
The huge main street of the imperial city was packed with people, but there was no sound at all; it was eerily quiet.
Sensing the silent atmosphere, the smile on the emperor's face became forced.
This again!
He is obviously the emperor of Xinglan Kingdom!
Fu Yuting was more popular than him, and many ministers in the court also spoke for him!
The emperor's inner panic and anxiety had accumulated to a considerable amount.
Emperors have always been suspicious since ancient times and never trust anyone easily.
Fu Yuting held military power and was popular among the people, so the emperor had to think more.
"Your Majesty, why don't we speak frankly today?" Fu Yuting suddenly said.
As soon as Fu Yuting opened his mouth, the emperor's heart suddenly rose, and after listening to what he said, his face began to turn ashen.
The emperor of Xinglan was neither a tyrant nor a fool. Fu Yuting had never thought of pulling him down, and he didn't have the leisure to do so.
Considering that he was the emperor and fearing that he might get angry and cause trouble, Fu Yuting did not say much.
However, when his shortcomings were exposed in front of the people, the emperor's face turned livid and his eyes were cold.
"...I have already gotten back all the above." Fu Yuting's eyes were meaningful. "I came here today just to pick up my husband and son."
"After all, Xinglan Country has left my husband with only bad memories, so there's no point in staying." Fu Yuting sneered, full of anger.
After hearing the general's words, the people remembered that they had used the general's and his wife's affairs as a topic of conversation after dinner, and they couldn't help showing embarrassment and shame on their faces.
When the emperor heard Fu Yuting say he was leaving, his first reaction was joy and happiness, but when he thought about the ongoing war with the barbarians, he became a little panicked.
The only one who can deal with the barbarians is Fu Yuting. What will happen if he leaves Xinglan Country? !
The emperor regretted not promoting more military generals in recent years.
However, now is not the time to regret, he has to find a way to keep Fu Yuting.
"The war on the border is intense at this moment. How can the general leave at this time?" The emperor frowned slightly and said with some apology on his face, "I admit that I have indeed treated the general badly in the past, but I will compensate you..."
The emperor only said half of what he meant, but his meaning was clear.
He admitted his previous mistakes and would compensate the general. So, general, don't leave, Xinglan Country needs you.
"General, don't abandon us!"
Suddenly, a loud and resounding cry of prayer rang out from the crowd.
Fu Yuting glanced in the direction of the sound, his eyes filled with indifference.
Someone opened the first head, and then the second and third heads popped up.
"Yes, General, we have all been deceived!"
"I'm sorry, General. I promise I won't say bad things about you and your husband again."
"General, please forgive us."
Eventually, even some of the guards joined them.
After a while, the originally quiet street became noisy.
"Have you said enough?" Fu Yuting's voice was extremely cold.
His voice was not loud, but strangely, everyone present could hear what he said.
Then, the scene became quiet again.
For some reason, they suddenly felt that the general's momentum was more powerful and dangerous than before.
"What makes you have such an illusion? You think that after my husband is treated as a joke by you, I will still stay in Xinglan to continue to defend my country?" Fu Yuting sneered.
At this moment, the emperor could no longer maintain the smile on his face.
"General Fu, this is too serious..." The emperor forced a smile. "The rumors about the general's husband were all spread by the person who pretended to be you. It's inevitable that the people don't know the truth."
Several ministers who had just arrived after receiving the news happened to overhear their conversation.
The Grand Tutor took a breath and advised, "General Fu, a man should aspire to achieve great things, and the great cause of the country should be more important than the love between children and daughters."
"Besides, the general has returned, and the rumors about the general's husband have been dispelled. Now we should focus on dealing with the barbarians."
"What the Grand Tutor said makes sense," a minister agreed, "Besides, the general is now your Majesty's son-in-law..."
"Oh?" Fu Yuting looked at them in astonishment. "Is this lord suffering from amnesia? How can this general remember that the fake one is the son-in-law of His Majesty?"
Fu Yuting's words made the minister look a little embarrassed, "This...is nominally a general..."
Zheng Yan, who had been stopped from speaking many times, could no longer hold back when he heard them still quibbling. He shouted, "What on earth are you thinking, you old bastard?! Our general didn't marry the princess, so how can the general be the son-in-law of the old emperor?!"
The Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, who was scolded as an old man, felt embarrassed and his face turned as black as coal.
"I heard that Princess Anyang was already five months pregnant, but unfortunately she had a miscarriage." Lin Jun at the side suddenly spoke up.
After hearing what Lin Jun said, Zheng Yan was completely furious. "Great! So you guys are planning to let our general take over the slut. How shameless!"
The emperor was furious when his daughter was called a slut. He gave face to Fu Yuting, but that didn't mean he would give face to others.
Just when the emperor was about to punish him with anger in his eyes, Fu Yuting spoke up, "Okay, Zheng Yan, stop talking."
Hearing what the general said, Zheng Yan hummed a few words in a low voice, somewhat unconvinced, "I just can't get angry."
"You have to bear it even if you are angry!" Lin Jun slapped him hard and said through gritted teeth, "I will die sooner or later because of your rotten mouth."
If the general hadn't spoken up, this fool would have been skinned alive by the emperor.
"General Fu's subordinates... sometimes speak their mind and easily get into trouble. General Fu, please be careful." The emperor looked at Zheng Yan with a deadly look.
"Your Majesty, please don't worry about this." Fu Yuting said indifferently.
Being looked at like this by the emperor, Zheng Yan became furious.
Just as he was about to glare back, he felt a piece of flesh on his waist being twisted forcefully, causing him to grimace in pain.
"Hey! Why are you pinching me?!"
"If you don't behave yourself, I'll keep you out of bed for three days when I get back..." Lin Jun threatened in a low voice.
"You%@#..." Zheng Yan cursed in a low voice in dialect, but his ears were red.
Fu Yuting heard their conversation: "..."
The incident unfolded like a farce. Naturally, the emperor did not want the people to know that a rift had arisen between him and Fu Yuting.
Soon, Fu Yuting and the emperor's men were the only ones left on the street.
The emperor wanted to save his face, and Fu Yuting did not stop him.
"It's getting late. I should go pick up my husband and children. Your Majesty, please do as you please." Fu Yuting nodded to the emperor, rode past them and headed towards the general's residence.
The sound of horse hooves gradually faded away. The ministers looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
"Your Majesty, what should we do now? General Fu is determined to leave..."
"Go to the general's mansion! If you can't keep Fu Yuting, then you will go and fight against the foreign enemies on his behalf!" The emperor turned around, waved his sleeves, and left angrily.
The news that "General Fu in the General's Mansion was impersonated by someone else, and the real General Fu has returned and is now on his way to the General's Mansion" had spread throughout the General's Mansion.
Upon hearing the news, Muqin knew it was time for them to leave, and she couldn't help but smile.
"Is everything packed up?" Xylophone asked.
"My lord, everything has been packed." Liang Xia replied.
"Don't worry, master. The gold, silver, jewelry and some valuables were transported away by the general and his men a few days ago." Chunju came over.
"Master, the general is almost here, let's go to the gate and wait for him!"
Qiu Shuang, who is a lively person, looks very excited and obviously can't wait.
In the main courtyard, a group of people picked up their things, counted their numbers, and headed happily towards the gate.
The news was also heard in Princess Anyang's courtyard.
For a moment, the servants were very cautious, not daring to move and no one spoke.
"You said... the real General Fu is coming to the General's Mansion now, and the one in the mansion is an impostor?" Princess Anyang asked again in disbelief, her hands shaking under her wide sleeves.
"Yes... yes, the people in the imperial city all saw it." Xi Que said in a low voice.
"Grr... cough cough..." Princess Anyang couldn't help but vomit after getting the answer, her face turned pale.
She was disgusted.
Now recalling what happened before, she finally came to her senses.
She then asked why Muqin could tolerate the general's indifference towards him and was willing to stay in the main courtyard, not going out of the front gate or the back gate.
so it is!
So that's how it is!
It turned out that he had already seen through that man was a fake!
Maybe when they were vying for his favor and showing off to him, Muqin was secretly laughing at their stupidity.
Thinking about how she had been fooled, Princess Anyang's eyes were filled with viciousness.
"Someone come!"
"The servant is here."
"Change my clothes." Princess Anyang regained her composure. "The general is back. As his concubine, I have to go out to greet him."
