"Yes." Lin Chu nodded without hesitation. The truth is cruel, but it is more stable than deception.
"I understand." Duanmuyan took a breath and stood up suddenly.
Plop.
Without any warning, she knelt at the feet of Queen Mother Zhang: "Please allow Lin Chu to take over as the commander of the National Defense Army!"
Lin Chu: “…….”
Didn't you come here today to force a marriage? What's going on with the commander of the National Defense Army? It's just... quite sudden.
Bang!
The enamelled tea cup on the table was not retained after all, it was broken into pieces at Duanmuyan's feet.
All the hot tea was spilled, and the splashing tea splashed on her delicate skin through the thin summer clothes. Duanmuyan's body trembled slightly, but he still knelt upright, and the weakness in his eyes was completely replaced by tenacity.
"Please allow the Queen Mother to allow Lin Chu to take over as the commander of the National Defense Army!"
Bang!
The girl's white forehead hit the bluestone floor heavily, and the loud sound was terrifying.
"Please allow the Queen Mother to allow Lin Chu to take over as the commander of the National Defense Army!"
Bang!
"Please allow the Queen Mother to allow Lin Chu to take over as the commander of the National Defense Army!"
Bang!
"Duanmuyan, get up!" Lin Chu suddenly stood up, grabbed Duanmuyan's arm, and pulled her up from the ground.
The broken hair on the girl's forehead was soaked in blood and clung to her cheek. The blood line was like a snake, and her lips almost lost their color.
Lin Chu raised his eyebrows: "If you don't know how to cherish your own body, you are stupid!"
"Look at how decent you are!" Queen Mother Zhang's eyes were filled with anger, and there was a sarcastic coolness in her lips and teeth: "Do you really think that this place in the Ai family is some kind of market place where anyone can scream and wallow?"
"Ha." Lin Zhi sneered and glanced at Empress Dowager Zhang for a moment. The murderous intent hidden deep in her eyes was clearly visible: "Isn't this exactly what the Empress Dowager wants to see?"
"You have misunderstood." Empress Dowager Zhang sighed quietly, her eyes full of sadness: "Yan'er went to the palace early this morning to ask for an audience, and said that he wanted to hand over the position of commander of the National Guard Army to Lin Chu. The emperor was furious and ordered the Ai family to deal with this matter.
The Ai family has no choice but to declare you two to the palace."
"Guifen, go and light the newly delivered sandalwood from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It smells peaceful and can moisturize and calm the mind. Some things need to be discussed calmly."
Aunt Gui agreed and changed the incense in the palace. Empress Dowager Zhang always leaned on the beauty's couch with half-closed eyes, and the rosary beads in her hands struck each other crisply, which was extremely clear in the bedroom where the drop of a needle could be heard.
It wasn't until the mellow smell of sandalwood swelled up and filled the entire palace that she slowly opened her eyelids.
"The National Guard Army was the team that Jin Ming fought for in the desperate situation of Western Chu. This army belonged to her, and no one in Western Chu had the right to control it. After Jin Ming's death, Yan'er
He is a just and righteous commander. However, in the past few years, she was too confused and unwilling to make progress, so she had to merge the National Protector Army into the Xishan Camp for management. After more than ten years of operation, the National Protector Army..."
Queen Mother Zhang's voice paused, and a sigh of regret escaped from her lips and teeth: "The Protectorate Army has long existed in name only, and is not as good as before."
Lin Chu knew these things. The Tianyu intelligence agency under Wanyan's control contained the secrets of various countries from ancient times to the present. As the army that the Western Chu continent looked down upon, the Protectorate Army deserved to have a name in the Tianyu.
However, in recent years, the voices of the National Protective Army have not been heard anymore. Lin Chu thought that the National Protective Army had long perished in the passing of time, but it turns out that it is still alive?
"The Queen Mother." Duanmuyan took a breath and said eagerly: "My mother's birthday is only less than two months away. The Eastern Tang Dynasty, Southern Border and Northern Desert are entrenched in Shangjing and refuse to leave, not to protect the country on my mother's birthday.
