Great, it's just a lackey, we're saved!

Chapter 81 The Disheartened General!

Qiu Ming assumed Zhou Wei was joking with him.

That's the Crown Prince, the future emperor. How could a mere Embroidered Robe Commander like myself make the Crown Prince bow down and beg him?

Qiu Ming bowed in acceptance of Zhou Wei's instructions, then left with Wang Wu to officially take up his post.

Looking at Qiu Ming's proud and upright figure, Zi Yu sighed, "Truly, power gives a hero his courage! After this ordeal, Lord Qiu's demeanor has changed a lot."

Zhou Wei raised an eyebrow and looked at Ziyu.

"How did it change?"

"Although Lord Qiu was a military officer, he always seemed timid and hesitant."

Ziyu counted on her fingers as she analyzed for Zhou Wei, "But now she seems to have become extremely confident, radiating an aura from the inside out that makes people inexplicably fearful."

Reminded by Ziyu, Zhou Wei's mind immediately cleared.

An idea came to mind.

Could it be that Qiu Ming was originally meant to have this kind of temperament?

Qiu Ming is extremely tall with striking features, and when standing next to the male lead Lu Zhiyan, he is in no way inferior.

Otherwise, Zhou Wei wouldn't have singled him out for questioning so quickly back at the Golden Pavilion.

However, as Ziyu said, although Qiu Ming was outstanding before, his aura was not obvious.

Now that he's become the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, his demeanor has changed dramatically, making him stand out from the crowd!

"Ziyu, do you think Qiu Mingsheng's promotion to Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard was due to luck?"

Ziyu nodded frantically: "Of course! The fact that he was able to meet Sister Wei on Zouma Street and accurately judge the situation to support the princess is due to luck, in addition to his insight."

Fortune is elusive, invisible and intangible.

But you can always catch a clue in things big and small.

Zhou Wei knew very well that even without her, Qiu Ming would have sided with the captain, Princess.

However, in the original storyline, he was implicated and died because of Jiang Yueli.

Now, however, he has risen to a high position in one fell swoop!

Just like Ning He today.

Ning He's mindset has long since changed; she is no longer fixated on engaging in palace intrigue with Su Yunjin, this time-traveling woman.

Instead, we should change our playing style and address the problem at its source.

Yesterday, she sent a message to Princess Jiang Yueli that the child's new father had been found.

He is a talented and handsome man who has fallen on hard times!

Ning He has been going out to steal kisses and jade these past few days, so the Princess should wait for good news.

……

General's Mansion.

Lu Zhiyan was distraught and dragged his weary body back to his residence.

But the mansion was pitch black; not a single lamp had been left for him, the master of the house.

With resentment building up in his heart, Lu Zhiyan was about to make a move, but was stopped by Ning He's personal maid, Yun Mo'er.

"General, please don't be angry. It was Miss who ordered this to be done."

Lu Zhiyan's face was filled with anger: "Ning He, what do you mean by this? Are you not welcoming this general back?"

Yun Mo'er quickly said, "General, what are you saying? Miss was just worried about you and thought you would stay at Miss Su's place tonight, so she ordered the lights in the manor to be turned off."

"Miss also said that Miss Su is the savior of the General's mansion, and it is only right that the General stays with Miss Su for as long as he wants."

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhiyan's expression softened slightly.

Ning He's magnanimity left him speechless.

only……

He was filled with worry after leaving Su Yunjin alone in the room last night, but he couldn't hear any movement from inside.

In his anxiety, Lu Zhiyan ignored Su Yunjin's advice and gently opened the door.

They found the house was completely empty!

The blood from Su Yunjin's wound stained the bedding, but she was nowhere to be found.

The scene before him shocked Lu Zhiyan.

As a martial artist, he possessed keen senses and could confirm that Su Yunjin had not left the room.

But now that the person has disappeared, Lu Zhiyan felt a chill run down his spine.

However, he did not make a fuss and quietly slipped out.

It wasn't until Su Yunjin finished soaking in the spiritual spring and came out of the space that he heard Su Yunjin calling his voice.

"Ayan, come in!"

Lu Zhiyan suppressed his shock and put on a worried expression as he walked into the house.

It turned out that Su Yunjin's abdominal wound had actually healed.

Even a face that was slashed beyond recognition was restored to its original state!

This miraculous sight left Lu Zhiyan speechless with astonishment.

Su Yunjin was preoccupied with herself and did not notice Lu Zhiyan's unusual behavior. She had already prepared an explanation.

“Ayan, I once met an old doctor in Sujia Village. He gave me a life-saving pill.”

He instructed me that this pill should only be used in life-or-death situations.

"I never expected the medicine to be so effective; my injuries have completely healed."

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhiyan felt his hands and feet turn ice cold.

Su Yunjin is lying!

She uttered such an obvious lie without the slightest hesitation.

What kind of elixir could repair Su Yunjin's fatal abdominal wound in such a short time?

And the wounds on her face, in some places they were so deep that the bone was visible.

But it recovered in an instant!

If such a medicine truly existed, Lu Zhiyan would be more than just a general.

He will have an army that will not be injured or die.

He could even become an emperor!

But where in the world can such a miraculous medicine be found?

Even the Valley of Divine Healers doesn't have such a thing.

But Su Yunjin not only possessed it, she also deliberately hid it from him.

Lu Zhiyan felt a tingling sensation throughout his body. He and Su Yunjin had shared hardships and joys in Su Family Village, living a life of farming and weaving, and were extremely happy.

He assumed that there would be no secrets between the two of them.

Their love transcends everything in this world!

Even Ning He, the first wife, could not compare to Su Yunjin.

Unexpectedly, Su Yunjin is now hiding something from him, and her lies are so clumsy that it's as if she thinks he's a fool.

Lu Zhiyan's hands trembled slightly as he tried to calm himself down before asking, "Yun Jin, were you inside the room the whole time?"

Su Yunjin was taken aback by his words, then smiled and scolded, "Ayan, what nonsense are you talking about? Of course I've been inside the house the whole time. Weren't you guarding outside?"

Lu Zhiyan nodded, but his thoughts were in complete disarray, and he just wanted to escape from here as soon as possible.

In the end, despite Su Yunjin's attempts to persuade him to stay, he managed to find an excuse to leave.

With his mind a complete blank, Lu Zhiyan stumbled back to the General's Mansion.

Looking at this familiar home, Lu Zhiyan felt a sense of peace in his empty heart.

The image of Ning He's gentle figure appeared in my mind!

This is his true wife, the general's wife; he and Ning He can talk about anything.

Before Su Yunjin came into his life, Ning He and he were inseparable, with the man being the breadwinner and the woman taking care of the home.

The general's mansion was in perfect harmony.

But now, because of Su Yunjin's appearance, Ning He has become more generous, but also more humble and polite.

She treated him not like a husband, but more like a superior.

This made Lu Zhiyan feel extremely uncomfortable!

At this moment, all he wanted was to be with Ning He.

Only in this way can he dispel the blow he suffered from Su Yunjin.

But then Yun Mo'er said, "General, Miss is going back to the Prime Minister's residence tomorrow to visit Master and Madam and explain to them about Miss Su's marriage. What do you think..."

Lu Zhiyan's expression darkened. He had personally promised Prime Minister Ning that he would never take a concubine in his life.

Now, not only have they broken their promise, but Ning He is also expected to explain.

It's really...

"In that case, I won't bother He'er any longer."

Watching Lu Zhiyan's lonely figure as he left, Yun Mo'er felt a pang of heartache in her eyes.

"Miss, haven't you gone too far?"
