Chapter 2014: Chapter 2011: The Envoy

All are under house arrest, without the execution of nine familial exterminations.

Because of this matter.

Many court officials are dissatisfied.

After all, King of Huainan’s rebellion was a grave crime.

Even though King of Huainan retreated in the end, only killing a few officials, it was enough to instill fear in many imperial court officials.

They certainly did not want to accidentally offend such a powerful general in the future, risking their lives to have their families destroyed.

But the more the court officials made noise, the less Emperor Xuanming wanted to follow their wishes.

Although Chu Heng was constantly ensuring the security of the capital during the rebellion, as Emperor Xuanming’s trump card, he understood that the matter of King of Huainan was a thorn in the Emperor’s heart.

In the short term, it is not likely to dissipate.

Therefore, Emperor Xuanming’s mood is currently quite poor, very irritable, and even showing signs of becoming a tyrant.

In the early court session, regarding the matter of King of Huainan’s orphan, Chu Heng firmly expressed his support for Emperor Xuanming, not siding with the other court officials.

Because of this, he faced several impeachments from the Imperial Censors.

It caused some difficulties in the progress of his reforms at the Ministry of War, causing quite a bit of trouble.

To the extent that every night, after returning to the mansion, he still had to handle many official duties.

However, this is not necessarily a bad thing.

Putting unfinished official duties aside, Chu Heng reached out for a bamboo skewer, pierced a piece of watermelon, and brought it to Ye Muyu’s lips.

"Parents are used to living in the hometown, they might not be willing to come over. The two elders are worried about Lil’ Jin and might decide to come after Lil’ Jin sets sail. I will send someone to pick them up. Whether they come or not, arrangements can be made." Chu Heng’s implication was that Ye Muyu need not worry too much.

"Alright then, if Mother and Father decide to come, let me know in advance," Ye Muyu said with concern.

Chu Heng responded with a hum, seeing her flipping through a medical book, he suddenly said, "An envoy from the Southern Border has arrived, bringing quite a few compensatory gifts, estimating they want to rescue the Sacred Girl of Southern Border."

Regardless, the Lover Gu in King of Huainan originated from the Southern Border.

Moreover, the covert line run by Bai Yao and Monk Heshan was controlled using medicines from the Southern Border.

No matter what, the King of the Southern Border cannot be acquitted of guilt, and the imperial court detaining the Sacred Girl of the Southern Border means that even if the Southern side is dissatisfied, they can only offer compensatory gifts to rescue her.

"Can compensatory gifts really rescue the Saintess?" Ye Muyu raised an eyebrow, finding this claim unreliable.

Not to mention those officials in the court are not particularly kind-hearted.

Even she, as a person in power, would not easily let go of the Southern Border for just a few compensatory gifts given such a good opportunity.

"Are you suggesting taking this chance to subdue the Southern Border?" Chu Heng, knowing her very well, guessed a bit from her expression, and upon hearing her words, a smile crept over his features.

Ye Muyu let out a disgruntled snort, feeling he was mocking her.

Chu Heng truly wasn’t mocking her; he merely found his wife adorable, especially when she got all proud and haughty. He couldn’t help but reach out to ruffle her hair.

Ye Muyu helplessly said, "If you touch my hair too much, it will get oily. Stop it."

"If it gets oily, I’ll wash it for you," Chu Heng replied with a smile.

A very reluctant Ye Muyu: "..."

Although she said that, she still didn’t firmly stop him, allowing more of this indulgence.

From time to time, he even leaned in to give her cheek a kiss, and played with her hair.

Seeing him so rarely at leisure, Ye Muyu glanced at him and let him be.

"So, do you think the imperial court will seize the opportunity to subdue the Southern Border? Speaking of which, the Gu technique of the Southern Border is indeed quite mysterious."
