Inside the imperial study, the majestic emperor, clad in a bright yellow dragon robe, was engaged in a lively conversation with a man dressed in white. Upon seeing Jun Wuji arrive, the two ceased their discussion.
Jun Wuji bowed slightly to the emperor on the high throne and said, "Father."
"Yes, please sit down."
Jun Wuji sat down, and the man in white shook the fan in his hand, "Your Majesty has come at just the right time."
Your Majesty and I were just discussing Your Majesty's valor in the battle on the northwestern border. Your Majesty is truly a mighty warrior, worthy of being called the God of War of our Canglan Kingdom.”
The speaker was the Crown Prince of Canglan Kingdom: Jun Wuke.
The emperor chuckled. "Yes, Ji'er, Ke'er is right."
Your victory in this battle on the northwestern border was truly a resounding success, a truly gratifying victory! Tell me, whatever reward you desire, your father will grant it all.”
Upon hearing the emperor's words, Jun Wuke's smile visibly stiffened for a moment, but he quickly regained his gentle demeanor.
But the hands hidden beneath the wide embroidered robe clenched slightly, and an unfathomable darkness flashed in his eyes.
Jun Wuji took in that dark glint in his eyes, his thin lips curving slightly. "Father, the border battle, though seemingly a resounding victory, was in reality fraught with peril."
Our military secrets were leaked by traitors, and we fell into the enemy's trap. My son almost lost his life on the northwestern border.
"If it weren't for my left-hand guard risking his life, not only would we have won this battle, but I probably wouldn't be back alive either."
Upon hearing this, the emperor's face darkened, and he slammed his hand on the table! "Secret information leaked! What happened?! Has anyone found out who was responsible?"
Jun Wuji glanced at Jun Wuke without leaving a trace, and seeing the panic that Jun Wuke had hidden in his eyes, a hint of mockery flashed in his phoenix eyes: Nothing special.
"I am currently ordering an investigation, and I will report back to Father Emperor once the results are available."
"You must investigate this matter thoroughly and deal with it severely. My army will never tolerate such traitors!"
As everyone knows, Emperor Jun Linzhou of Canglan Kingdom detests traitors more than anything else in his life!
"Yes, Your Majesty, I obey your command."
"By the way, your left guard has also made a great contribution."
Ji'er, you must reward her well, lest you discourage the meritorious soldiers of my Canglan Kingdom.
"yes."
Thanks to the system's enhancement, Emperor Beiyao could hear the entire conversation in the Imperial Study, and she felt a little uneasy.
Throughout the entire ordeal, Emperor Jun Linzhou never uttered a single word of concern for Jun Wuji's safety. Even when Jun Wuji mentioned that he had nearly lost his life, the emperor still didn't show any interest.
But the mention of rewarding her shows that...
Jun Linzhou may be a good emperor, but he is certainly not a good father. At least to Jun Wuji, Jun Linzhou was definitely not a good father.
For some reason, the scars I saw on Jun Wuji's body in the hot spring suddenly came to mind.
For some reason, Di Beiyao felt a pang of sympathy for Jun Wuji, this cold and aloof man.
It wasn't that she was overly compassionate; on the contrary, she was a cold-hearted person. Perhaps she saw glimpses of her younger self in Jun Wuji.
Memories sealed for nearly a thousand years are slowly being unveiled.
Her father had many children, and although her mother was a queen, she was not favored by her father, and consequently, she was also disliked by him as the eldest princess.
Their continent was originally a country, founded by a woman, hence the unwritten rule...
Royal daughters, upon reaching the age of eighteen, could choose to go to war or marry into a foreign power base.
Although the mainland later split into several small countries, this rule has been passed down.
Her mother was a woman sent to marry a foreign ruler for political reasons. From a young age, she watched her mother wait for her father to arrive.
Yet, his figure was repeatedly disappointed and dejected, until he finally died in despair.
She didn't want to repeat her mother's mistakes, perhaps because of her youth and impetuousness, or perhaps because of the influence of her mother's tragic life.
On the day of her coming-of-age ceremony, she resolutely chose to go to the battlefield.
Battle after battle, honing skills, growing stronger.
From a squad leader to the top commander of the entire army
At the age of twenty-three, she returned to the capital in glory!
With the enemy at the gates, her father, who she remembered as disdainful and aloof towards her and her mother, now had graying temples.
For five years, he never asked her about her situation. She refused his arrangements for a marriage, and she was treated poorly everywhere she went when she first joined the army.
Even more so, once when she was seriously injured, the pharmacist only gave her a little medicine, and she could never forget that night when she was in so much pain that she almost fainted.
