Chapter 119 A dull mind

Instead, Lu Huaihe led the battle, with Baili Feng and Xian Yin as the support, to confront Queen Guo and investigate the old case before the emperor died. It was

also a battle that Baili Jun had to take back the tiger talisman that controlled tens of millions of troops from Guo Jie in order to protect the throne.

So did Queen Guo know that her brother was plotting rebellion and was intentionally raising soldiers to fight against the emperor?

Su He realized at this time that Baili Feng had no intention of usurping the throne, and Baili Jun had no intention of harming his brothers, but they just pursued different goals.

"I didn't mean to hide it from you, but this trip is dangerous, and I'm not completely sure."

Lu Huaihe's face was calm, but there was some worry in his eyes.

He was probably a little afraid that Su He would be angry.

But Su He didn't want to be a petty woman, and family and country affairs could not be changed by jealousy.

She took a deep breath and said softly: "After the flood, the people's homes were destroyed, and all the water sources, clean and dirty, were mixed and easily polluted, leading to plague."

Zhaoyang and Xianyin couldn't help but look over, a little curious why she said that?

Lu Huaihe was silent for two seconds and asked, "How can we save the people from the water and fire?"

Su He looked up and answered carefully, "Once someone infected with the plague is found, isolate him to prevent the spread of the epidemic. Then use quicklime to disinfect the area where he is located, and let the people use burning herbs and drinking medicinal wine to temporarily increase resistance and take precautions."

If the previous sentence made Lu Huaihe a little hesitant, then he couldn't believe it now.

Su He looked serious and regretful, with grief in his eyes, as if he had experienced it personally.

"You... must pay attention to safety and come back to see me safely."

After saying this, Su He seemed to have lost his strength.

"Okay."

Lu Huaihe felt indescribably distressed, but with official business in front of him, he must not forget the country because of his small family.

Su He suppressed his emotions and rethought what had just happened. He turned to Xian Yin and said, "As expected, Madam Hua has gone to the palace to complain. Once Queen Guo gets the news, she will definitely send someone to arrest you."

"I'm not afraid of her." Xian Yin said with his head held high, with contempt in his eyes, not taking Queen Guo seriously at all. "If she dares to come, I will make her lose face."

The old emperor is not dead yet, how can he let Prince Jin die without

a heir? After all, the old emperor knew when Xian Yin fled.

In Kunning Palace, the maids lit the lights again. Empress Guo looked at the furious Hua and asked in a cold voice: "Are you saying that the orphan adopted by Princess Zhaoyang is actually the little daughter of Prince Jin?"

"It is absolutely true! That woman is arrogant and domineering. She doesn't take the Guo family or you, the queen, into consideration at all. She even threatened to kill me and throw my body into the river! Your Majesty, how can such evil-minded remnants harm the world?"

When Hua thought about how she had been mistreated and threatened in the Princess's mansion, she wanted to take her people and exile her immediately!

But given her status, she had no right to issue orders, and naturally she didn't dare to do anything to the emperor's sister.

So she hoped that Empress Guo would bring people to the Princess's residence to settle accounts with her, accusing her of harboring evil.

"You came to the palace to bother me for such a small matter? If you have the time, you might as well discipline your son and stop him from causing trouble for no reason and ruining the reputation of the Guo family!"

Empress Guo's beautiful eyes turned, and her words were filled with blame.

Hua didn't react, thinking that she didn't hear clearly, and added: "That's the remnant of the criminal gang! She's the blood of Prince Jin! Your Majesty, don't you worry that she will come to seek revenge?"

"Revenge? Do you think this palace is a place where anyone can come in and seek revenge?" Queen Guo leaned on the soft hibiscus couch, playing with her gold and diamond-studded finger rings, her tone was quite disdainful: "Didn't Baili Feng's mother die too? It's been so many years? Seeing that the emperor is about to pass away, can he still cheer up and seek revenge on me?"

"But that little bitch is protected by the eldest princess..."

Queen Guo waved her hands and said nonchalantly, "The eldest princess is old, and she can't help but be kind and can't bear to see her niece wandering outside. If I shout and kill a little girl, it will be a real topic of gossip in the world. You also know that Jun'er is deeply loved by the people. If her reputation is ruined because of me, how can we bear the consequences?"

Hua was unwilling to accept it. Was she going to be protested by a little girl like that? Did she still have to keep her face as a general's wife?

Since Queen Guo would not help her, she had to find a way herself!

Watching Mrs. Hua reluctantly leave Kunning Palace, Empress Guo sighed helplessly: "Why did Guo Jie find a brainless wife? Don't I put the overall situation first and make a special trip for her to judge right and wrong?"

The nanny beside her pursed her lips and smiled: "Queen, calm down. Mrs. Hua is also angry, otherwise why would she rush to Kunning Palace to complain overnight?"

"She is always angry. Today, it's not Aunt Qiu who is showing off her power, and tomorrow it's Guo Jie who doesn't treat her as his wife...I am the queen of a country, but I have become her judge?"

"Madam Hua has always been a bit dull, so please be more tolerant, Your Majesty."

Empress Guo took off the ring gloves from her fingers and handed them to the palace maid, feeling quite annoyed: "If I hadn't seen that she was dumb and was related to me, I would never have met her tonight. It really delayed us. Okay, take a rest."

"Yes."

The night was getting darker.

Su He and Lu Huaihe came out of the Princess's Mansion in silence.

After returning to Li Garden, Pei Xia helped Su He undress and wash.

Sitting in front of the bronze mirror surrounded by lights, Su He took off the jewelry in her hair. Thinking of what was about to happen, she felt inexplicably flustered.

Over the past few days, she has already had a place for Lu Huaihe in her heart.

I mentioned before that I wanted to go to the southeast with him, not only for his safety, but more because I was afraid of losing him.

Su He has never dared to face this feeling.

Now that we are about to part, I feel that if I don't say it, I am afraid that it will be too late in the future, and I am even more afraid that... there will be no chance.

Lu Huaihe walked in after taking a bath, wearing only a clean white pajamas, with some wet water droplets on his forehead, which were translucent under the yellow candlelight.

Pei Xia saw that the two did not talk, and thought they were arguing. When the room was filled with the sleeping sandalwood, he closed the door and retreated tactfully.

Su He saw through the mirror that Lu Huaihe was sitting on a pear blossom armchair, looking at the files, looking very focused, as if he didn't notice her at all.

Su He felt a little depressed, and immediately put the jewelry in the dressing box, took off his outer clothes, and got into bed.

Hearing the noise, Lu Huaihe raised his eyebrows and looked over, and saw that she was facing inside, and her small figure was still hugging her stubbornly.

He smiled helplessly, put down the files casually, extinguished the candles in the room, and slowly walked into the bed.

"Madam, are you still angry with me?"
