Chapter 105 The Tortured General's Young Wife 52



"As for you, you should rest well and take good care of yourself. Don't dwell on these stressful things. If it weren't for the girl you poured so much effort into, I wouldn't even want to see Yu Huier enter the palace."

"When Huan'er saw her, she didn't even bother to eat."

Lin Chunhuan felt warm in her heart as she spoke words of concern one after another. "Yes, yes, I will make sure I am plump and healthy."

"Then sir, please be busy. I am worried about Lin'er, so I will go back to check on him."

Lin Chunhuan took his leave. Before leaving, he glanced at Wang Youquan for a moment and then looked away, as if he was just taking a casual glance.

Seeing Lin Chunhuan leave, the emperor was stunned. Wang Youquan smiled and replaced the cold tea with hot tea, "The love between Your Majesty and the Empress is really enviable to me."

"Why, you old thing are also tempted by love?"

The emperor's joking tone made Wang Youquan lower his head, "Oh, Your Majesty, I am a useless person. How dare I harm a girl from a good family?"

"This old servant simply admires the Empress. Few girls raised in seclusion have the vision of the Empress!"

"The plague that follows a great disaster has always been a problem. Your Majesty has thought of taking precautions in advance, and you've already seen ahead of many others."

The emperor nodded upon hearing this. "Indeed, I've been thinking about the snowstorm reported by the Imperial Observatory lately. If it weren't for the Empress's reminder, I really wouldn't have thought about it for a while."

"But now... the capital needs manpower everywhere. We need to think carefully about who to send."

Wang Youquan pondered calmly, "Your Majesty is too tired every day. Apart from the Prime Minister, there are few people who can truly share your worries. No wonder the Empress is worried."

"Besides, the plague is deadly. Who would be willing to go? It's so dangerous..."

Before Wang Youquan could finish his words, he looked up and met the emperor's inquiring gaze, and his hands, which were grinding, froze in shock.

"Wang Youquan, you've been talking a lot lately."

"Your Majesty, spare my life!"

Wang Youquan fell to his knees on the ground with a thud, his whole body shaking uncontrollably, but he didn't dare to say a word in defense.

However, the emperor just waved his hand and asked people to leave without saying anything.

There was a brief silence in the imperial study.

After several days, another imperial edict was issued from the palace and went directly to Lizhou.

In Xingqing Palace, Caihuan started to sign in a confused manner, "Miss, I still don't understand."

"Why did His Majesty think of Yuan Shaojun and ask him to prevent the plague when Wang Youquan said those words?"

It is clear that Wang Youquan did not mention Yuan Shaojun at all in his words.

Lin Chunhuan laughed when he heard this, looking up at the leaves that had fallen earlier than in previous years. "Actually, there's no mystery. There aren't many people around you right now, but you used to have the help of a great general."

"Speaking of the Prime Minister, given your affection for the General, you will definitely think of him. But the General is gone, and only a useless son remains."

"It's because of me that you have mixed feelings towards Yuan Shaojun. You're angry at him for being useless, and a little jealous, but you can't bring yourself to kill him. Even when you were trying to punish him, you found him in the prosperous Lizhou and gave him a high official position. People's emotions are very complicated."

"Although you say that Yuan Shaojun and his mother are their mother and son, and the general is the general, and they can no longer be tied together, but deep down, at least I can be sure that you are reluctant to see Yuan Shaojun die."

"Otherwise, if Yuan Shaojun was not the general's son, he would have died a thousand times just to avoid leaving a stain on himself, Caihuan."

Lin Chunhuan took a deep breath and said, "If a man in a high position of power wants to get a married woman, the fastest way is not to find a way to get her divorced, but to make her a widow."

Upon hearing this, Caihuan stopped in her tracks.

She didn't sign anything, but the meaning in her eyes was very clear. The emperor was not only a wise ruler, but also a benevolent ruler. Would he kill innocent people for his own selfish desires?

"You underestimate the master." Lin Chunhuan raised his lips. "The master is indeed loyal and righteous. He may have risen from a humble background to the highest position. He must have been involved in more than a thousand appointments."

"Sir, I have never been a soft-hearted person."

Lin Chunhuan had a good idea. The memories of the previous life plus the interactions in this life, not to mention that the emperor would never hide his true emotions and methods in front of him.

She had almost figured out the temperament of the man sitting high up.

To guess the Sacred Heart is a deadly thing,

But as for Yuan Shaojun, she didn't want him to die so badly, but she also didn't want to see him living peacefully!

The emperor...probably has the same idea as her.

She didn't want anyone to lose their life easily, but she also couldn't bear to see that person living well, so she asked Wang Youquan to say those words, which actually had only one purpose.

It is enough for the emperor to remember this person in his busy schedule.

Of course, there is another reason why Lin Chunhuan did this, which is also the most important reason.

Yuan Shaojun has in his hand a prescription passed down from his mother's family. That prescription can cure the plague!

In the previous life, the plague was too far away from the capital. After Yuan Shaojun and his mother learned that the prescription they had could cure the plague, they did not take out the prescription immediately.

Instead, he spent a lot of time on it, and only used the prescription to gain the greatest benefit when the plague was almost out of control.

After all, if the plague was not serious, what would be so surprising about people offering prescriptions?

Lin Chunhuan pursed her lips tightly. In order to prevent others from noticing her abnormality, she didn't tell anyone the reason. But this time... she had to force the mother and son to take out the prescription as soon as possible!

Li Zhou is a military officer in the mansion.

After receiving the imperial edict, Yuan Shaojun almost fell to the ground with his head tilted back. Disaster relief is fine... but to put an end to the plague?

Isn't this going to kill him?

"Father-in-law..."

Yuan Shaojun didn't dare to accept the decree. After a long while, he managed an unpleasant smile and hurriedly stuffed a heavy purse into the hand of the eunuch who was delivering the decree. "Is there something wrong with the decree?"

"Your Majesty, are you really going to let me go to provide disaster relief?"

Seeing the silver, the eunuch didn't bother to care about Yuan Shaojun pulling his sleeve. "General Yuan, what you said is true. Falsifying the imperial edict is a life-threatening matter. Even if you give me more courage, I wouldn't dare to say such a thing."

"Commander, please accept the order quickly. I am in a hurry to return and report."

After saying this, Yuan Shaojun's face turned completely pale. The light imperial edict seemed to weigh a thousand pounds in his hands, bending his back.

He had finally managed to gain a foothold in Lizhou.

Those people didn't know his past and they all rushed to curry favor with him. Seeing that he was not married yet, the delicate young ladies came to him one after another.

When our life was going well, how... how could such a thing happen?
