Thinking of this, Zhao Huan bowed and said happily: "Your son obeys your command!"
"Hmph! I also heard that not only did you not visit the noble lady I gave you, Mu, but you went to spend the night with a palace maid. Is that true?"
Empress Dowager Zheng's words tacitly acknowledged Zhan Yunpeng's affairs. Zhao Huan said respectfully, "Empress Dowager, this is a long story. I, Consort Mu, and I are deeply in love and have already tied the knot."
"That's good. Since you're taking a concubine, hurry up and have a son or daughter. I'm hoping to have a grandson soon. It's so lonely to have only Chen'er here now."
Zhao Huan was overjoyed. Queen Mother Zheng still cared about him. He then said, "I will do my best."
"I'm tired, let's go."
Empress Dowager Zheng held out her hand, and Zhao Ji immediately stood up and took it. Zhao Ji looked at Zhao Huan and said, "Huan'er, if you want to lead the army yourself, why not ask my palace's Tianshi Guo to assist you? He can perform the Taoist "Liujia Method," deploying 7,777 troops, and he also knows the Buddhist "Vaiśravaṇa Dharma," which can capture the Jin generals alive and repel the enemy."
Zhao Huan shook his head like a rattle: "No, no, I am sure I can defeat the Jin soldiers."
Little did he know that even if Zhao Ji asked Guo Jing to come, Guo Jing would not come. Guo Jing was now avoiding Zhao Huan as much as possible, so how could he dare to provoke him?
Zhao Ji supported Queen Mother Zheng, and the two said goodbye to Zhao Huan and returned to the palace without further mention.
Kaifeng Prefecture reported that Zhan Yunpeng had arrived in the capital. Zhao Huan, preoccupied with his upcoming expedition the next day, had no time for anything else. He ordered Zhan Yunpeng to be imprisoned in the Tianlao Prison, with strict orders not to torture him. He was to retry him after Zhao Huan returned from the expedition.
