"What are you thinking? Do you want to rebel with the Southern Kingdom?"
Gu Jiangli sobbed for a while, as if someone had grabbed her by the neck.
A moment later, Gu Jiangli coughed rapidly again.
"General...cough cough...you've misunderstood...it's not true."
“Gu Jiangli, I underestimated you. I took you in because I felt sorry for you in the military camp. You repeatedly told me that you weren't a spy, but that your wet nurse sold you for money…”
"General!" Gu Jiangli interrupted him loudly, "Are you really innocent? You clearly knew my identity all along, didn't you? Why did you still marry me? You did it on purpose!"

Liu's flustered expression was mixed with a hint of excitement.
"Sir, we'll know if it's true or not by checking."
General Xie looked puzzled. "How do we test it?"
"Didn't they say there's a girl from the Gu family named... Lotus? Go and find out more about her, or send someone to wait at the side gate and see if we can catch Lotus again."
General Xie immediately approved the plan.
