The Empress Of The Emperor
Cp. 10 | Luck or Tribulation?

The hallway of Zuwang Palace currently looked so quiet. There were no people passing by carelessly here, there were only a few Eagle warriors standing guard at a certain point in the Palace.

This is because the Palace of Zuewan, which is the residence of the Emperor, has a layered defense that cannot be underestimated.

The barracks of the Eagle soldiers who were elite soldiers under the direct leadership of the Emperor's hand, were laid around the outer walls of Zuwang Palace. The security of the palace is very good.

The privacy of the Emperor was heavily guarded, even the Eunuchs who served in the Emperor's Palace could not carelessly go in and out. They had to pass such a strict examination before doing any tasks within that Palace.

The tall man still wearing a full armor with a straight sword draped around his left waist was seen walking, escorted by a General who was a few steps behind him.

"How are the reports from the other Generals in each Division*?" suddenly tanyanya. The pitch-black netra was fixed straight at the long passageway before him.

For a moment, General Li lifted his head, looked at the back of the great ruler who was walking in front of him silently, then immediately lowered his head and continued to step his feet following Emperor Zhun.

"Absplays Bixia Huang. The reports of the 4 Generals in each Division* who went to war this time, have all received. For the time being, our Cavalry* squad has 31,000 remaining and the Infantry force* 27,500. In total, the total number of soldiers who survived this war was 58,500 soldiers and 3,500 soldiers were killed. About 4750 soldiers were lightly wounded and 2500 were seriously injured."

Emperor Zhun seemed to be thinking, digesting the contents of the short report that General Li had submitted. "It turned out pretty well, too," Emperor Zhun murmured as he continued to step his foot.

"At least, this time it's the same. It only takes fewer victims. What about the other reports?" The Emperor Zhun.

"For the 5 cavalry squads that set out with us have been in their respective barracks, and for the few wounded soldiers, they said, he has been treated at Zhilio Palace by Junior Physicians who are directly arranged by Physician Gui An Shan and Physician Gui Wenyan" General Li said. His body slowly straightened, his gaze now looking back at the Emperor's back.

"Good, let them rest until the wound recovers."

"One more thing, Bixia. Just a moment ago, the Wen Empire sent out a letter and tribute in return for the addition to our Empire."

Emperor Zhun looked at the trees to his right. "Alright, Zhen will check it out after the dinner."

"Good, Bixia. I understand." General Li bowed his body slightly again to pay his last respects.

After that, the mood went back to silence. Only the sound of heavy steps that accompanied their definite steps in the hallway that was above the lake of Hepinng. It stretched widely from the front side of the Palace to the left wing of the Palace.

It signified that they had entered the left wing and would soon arrive at the inner position of Zuwang Palace. Which meant that, they would soon arrive at Emperor Zhun's contest room.

"How are General Li Kangjian and your first brother, Li Ping Qiu?" emperor Zhun asked suddenly, looking at the scenery around him.

"Fuqin*... During these 7 months his eyesight began to deteriorate. Somehow his current state, I haven't seen him back. As for Ping Qiu, the servant has not met him yet at the Imperial Palace."

Geez .. This guy really huh. He had always been so, General Li's inner self as he scratched his cheek slowly.

"Later to rest, and visit General Li's main residence. Tell your first brother too."

General Li who was walking behind Emperor Zhun almost choked on his own saliva. This Bixia is actually again why the hell?! his screams in the heart.

"Bi—Bixia ... You ... seriously?" general Li asked a little scared. Bizarrely. General Li immediately frowned.

Previously, this Emperor of his had never given him such leeway, but what was this? Like a treasure that fell suddenly right above General Li's head. Either he should feel happy, or feel sad with a little kindness from the Emperor this time around.

"If you don't want to, Zhen can pull it back." Emperor Zhun glanced at General Li who was displaying a strange expression on his face, then looked straight back at the long hallway before him.

General Li, who had heard his Emperor's words just now, quickly walked in front of Emperor Zhun to stop his steps, saying quickly, "Alright. Servant begged, please Bixia not to retract Bixia's words." His hands immediately raised, cupped tightly right in front of his face.

His hand now changed again, with the clenched left hand that met the right palm, his body was slightly bent. Paying homage to Emperor Zhun, he said, "It is with great pleasure that my servant will receive it. Visiting General Li's main residence."

There's a golden opportunity in plain sight, why not take it? Four months ago it was like hell! In addition, three months earlier I had not been able to visit Fuqin in the main residence, the inner General Li.

Emperor Zhun who saw this stepped to the side and walked back to his contest room leisurely. Three eunuchs were standing at the door of his contest room in a position ready to welcome his arrival.

One of the ageing eunuchs immediately stepped forward, approaching Emperor Zhun so courteously, then kneeling on the wooden floor in front of Emperor Zhun's room. While the other two eunuchs waited in the back, right at the door of the contest room.

"Honor Your Majesty the Great Lord of the Zhun Empire, the God of War," said the three eunuchs simultaneously.

"Hamba welcomes back at Zhun Imperial Palace to Bixia Huang in. Servant is happy, thank goodness you can return safe, Bixia."

A eunuch who already looked very old bowed in salute to Emperor Zhun. The streak of happiness was clearly drawn on his face, even so, his body was still firm and healthy.

General Li bowed his head slightly, giving courtesy to the old Eunuch Wu.

Although the position of the General was very high compared to Eunuch Wu, but he had great respect for the elderly. Moreover, Eunuch Wu was a person who often looked after Emperor Zhun and himself when they were little.

Eunuch Wu who saw this immediately bowed respectfully to General Li, indicating that he had received it back.

Eunuch Wu turned towards Emperor Zhun while saying, "Good Bixia Huang in, I will immediately prepare it. I beg you to resign first to Bixia."

Emperor Zhun only gave a short nod, Eunuch Wu immediately stepped back, stepped away from the Emperor's sight and gave him a way to enter the contest room.

While the eunuch who was on the second side of the door swiftly opened the door while looking down respectfully.

Emperor Zhun who had stepped inside his room suddenly stopped his steps. "Li Jianjun, you also go to rest."

General Li who was standing in his place was immediately jolted. He looked at his back with a look of disbelief. "Also, Bixia. However, you—"

"Go away," cut Emperor Zhun quietly and quickly without regard to the continuation of General Li's words.

I don't know why this feels creepy, but it turns out to be good too, General Li's inner self.

Without saying anything, Emperor Zhun motioned to use his left hand so that General Li would leave immediately.

General Li who saw this paused for a moment, then spoke again, "Well, Bixia. Li Jianjun begged to retreat from the presence of Bixia Huang at." He bowed his head, paying his respects before leaving Emperor Zhun's den.

At least, I should enjoy this little bit of my time, Inner General Li.

A faint smile that rarely displayed it immediately appeared, adorning his face that looked a little sangar with a codet on the side of his left jaw.

However, it did not make his good looks disappear, instead.
