Chapter 1 Two years of war

The gentle breeze, with two green leaves that fell from the trees accidentally, blow away the heat of midsummer.

In the quiet courtyard, a woman in a light blue palace outfit sat quietly under the tree. Green smoke floated out from the exquisite tea set in her hand, mixed with a few faint fragrance.

Suddenly, a crisp cry of a young woman broke the tranquility, "Little Master, Little Master! Something big happened to me!"

A woman, about seventeen or eighteen years old, jogged in a light pink dress. When she got close, she could see that there was a clear anxious look on her face.

"Why are you so panicked?" The woman in green who was cooking tea looked up at the person coming and smiled helplessly, "Chuying, haven't I told you that you are in the deep palace, so you must always pay attention to your words and deeds."

"You did a good job a few days ago, why did you become reckless again today?"

"My little master, it's not that I'm reckless, it's really a big deal!" Chu Ying hurriedly bowed to Jiang Wanyun. Before she could put down the things in her hand, she hurriedly said, "I just heard someone on the road that Your Majesty is going to return to the palace! I'll be here tomorrow!"

Jiang Wanyun was also stunned when she heard this and asked in a daze, "Where did you hear this news? Is it true?"

The late emperor died early, and the death was the time when the war on the border of Yu Country was intensified. His death made the enemy's morale even more.

In order to stabilize the morale of the army, the new emperor decided to command the imperial army in person less than a month after ascending the throne and directly led the army to the front line.

It took him two years to go there. Although some time ago, the emperor's words that he was about to return to the court were heard, there was no definite news.

Now, it suddenly means that the Japanese have arrived...?!

"Absolutely true!" Chu Ying ignored Jiang Wanyun's shock, but patted her chest and continued to assure her, "It's up to His Majesty the Emperor, I will never dare to talk nonsense!"

"This news was what I heard from my father-in-law inside when I went to the Interior Office to use silk for the young master Qiu. The news that His Majesty returned to the palace came suddenly, and they were more anxious than the other!"

Jiang Wanyun lowered her eyes and glanced at the two new pieces of materials in Chuying's hand, and was sure that she had just returned from the Office of the Interior, and just now she looked slightly. "What the Office of the Interior heard of it should be credible news."

"But there is no such thing yet..."

Just as she was about to give Chu Ying some advice, Fu Liu, who was cleaning outside, suddenly stepped into the courtyard quickly and said respectfully, "My Lord, Eunuch Gao from the Ministry of Internal Affairs is here."

"Interior Affairs Office?" Thinking of Chu Ying's words before, and the other party was from the Interior Affairs Office, Jiang Wanyun naturally did not dare to neglect. Before the tea set on the stone table could be cleaned up, she stood up and led the two palace maids and rushed to the door to greet the people.

"I will meet Jiang Xuanshi." The eunuch standing at the door waiting, when he saw Jiang Wanyun coming, he saluted her respectfully without any haste.

"Eunuch Gao doesn't have to be polite." Jiang Wanyun nodded at the visitor with a smile, then asked in confusion, "I wonder if Eunuch Gao is here to my Jinseju House..."

Although she had guessed it, she would not talk too much and cause trouble in front of someone from the Interior Office.

Speaking of the purpose of coming, Eunuch Gao immediately took off his leisure and became serious, "We are here to inform you that tomorrow morning, we will go to Taihe Gate to pick you up on time."
