After lunch, Hua Ruge called Black Panther over to ask about the current situation in the capital as well as his friends.

She had become quite a few friends before in the capital, but now that Lan Bing'er, Tuoba Yu and all of them were at the Great Yu Dynasty, it could be said that they couldn't meet again.

The only ones left were Mao Jun and Yan Zixing.

When Black Panther heard this, he began to talk.

Since two of the nobles had been dealt with in succession and the power of the imperial government was in the air, the various families had a hard time competing with each other.

However, the Emperor had learned from his past experiences that he did not want a court official to be in a position of power. Thus, he supported one man and one warrior respectively, each of them holding a position against the other.

Coincidentally, the Prime Minister Wen Chen was Yan Zixing's father, the patriarch of the Yan family.

The one holding the title of General was the family head of several generations of martial general families.

The reason was that these two families had never formed a personal alliance before, so the Emperor could use them to ease his worries.

Mao Jun had already been guarding the border for a long time, unless the Emperor's birthday or New Year's Day rarely came back.

Yan Zixing did not like to be like the civil officials in the imperial court, playing with flowers in his stomach. After passing the Hall of Sages examination, he went to join the army the next year, and had only been gone for two months.

Hearing this, Hua Ruge's face showed a face of disappointment. It was so hard to come back, to think that he couldn't find a single friend, but there was nothing he could do about it.

There were no changes in the remaining situation. The biggest issue was the surge in troops. The Great Zhuang Empire now had two million soldiers.

When Tuoba Rui heard this, he did not feel anything. He yawned, then pulled Hua Ruge onto the soft couch and said, "Take a nap."

Hua Ruge struggled but was caught in his embrace.

How could the black panther dare to stay any longer? He hurriedly retreated.

The emperor had also received news that the Battle King and Hua Ruge had returned to the capital, so he had been planning their return all night. When dawn arrived, he would wake up immediately, but his mental state was not in a good state.

When Tuoba Rui and Hua Ruge entered the palace, it was just in the morning. Because it was an audience, the two of them were dressed in formal court attire.

Tuoba Rui's black robe was embroidered with four clawed golden dragons, they were extremely lifelike, with a sense of majesty.

Hua Ruge was now a marquis, and she also had a court dress on her. She was dressed in a red robe with a peacock embroidered on it and a jade belt.

Hua Ruge's skin was extremely white, and the redness of her clothes made her skin even more pronounced than snow. Furthermore, she gave off an imposing aura, which complemented her own bright red skin, making her look even more imposing.

Tuoba Rui glanced at her and raised his eyebrows dangerously, "You can't wear it like this in the future."

"What's wrong?" Hua Ruge asked.

"No reason." Tuoba Rui walked out of the door with a gloomy face.

Hua Ruge chased after him and asked, "If you don't want me to wear anything, at least give me a reason."

"Unsightly."

"It's obviously pretty."

"You can't do that if you look good." Tuoba Rui got on the horse carriage and pulled her into his embrace, then bent down to kiss her.

Hua Ruge only felt that the sky was dark and the earth was dark. When he finally reacted, he slowly said, "Only I can look at it like that."

"?" Hua Ruge.

Wasn't this man a bit too domineering?

During the audience, the emperor's complexion was still not good, but he treated the two of them very cordially. With Hua Ruge by his side, Tuoba Rui's temperament was not bad, and the entire meeting was very harmonious.

The Emperor personally handed over forty odd unified seal letters to Hua Ruge, then gave her the documents and changed her nobility badge.

From a viscount, he had risen two levels in succession to become a marquis.

After exiting the Imperial Palace, Hua Ruge said as if he was a parvenu, "More than forty cities, I'm really a parvenu now."

Tuoba Rui walked beside her and did not say a word.

"Oh right, you told the Emperor that you might need soldiers for Dong Xia? What do you think is the probability? " Hua Ruge asked.

"There's no basis. It's just intuition." Tuoba Rui said.

All the notable generals had a wolf-like intuition. Otherwise, it would be difficult for them to lead an army to victory on the battlefield.

"It's best not to fight. The Emperor of Dong Xia has a deep foundation, if they start a war, it would be disadvantageous for us." Hua Ruge analyzed.

Tuoba Rui frowned, he was obviously still thinking.

After returning to the Duke Palaces to eat dinner, Hua Ruge still felt that it was a bit unsettled after thinking about it for a while.

Thus, he changed into a man's attire and went to see Hong Xiu. Hong Xiu had long since found out about her daughter from when she caused trouble at the Hua family.

Ever since Hong Xiu obtained the right to manage Swallow Spring Pavilion, he did not even bother playing the zither anymore. He only had one passion in life, and that was to listen to Hua Ruge's orders to open Swallow Spring Pavilion branches in various countries.

Because of the huge amount of financial support from Hua Ruge, his Swallow Spring Pavilion had exceeded thirty, and Hong Xiu now had a complete set of information network.

Hua Ruge was extremely satisfied with this, and was also amazed by Hong Xiu's talent and passion in this area.

After sitting for a while, Hua Ruge gave her instructions on gathering information on the Dong Xia and army.

It was a peaceful day, but on the morning of the second day, before Hua Ruge had woken up, he heard Black Panther knocking on his door. He shouted, "Your Highness, it's urgent."

When Tuoba Rui heard the voice, his eyes suddenly opened.

Hua Ruge was still in dreamland just now, and after hearing this sentence, he didn't know if he was dreaming or not, but he actually didn't wake up.

Tuoba Rui opened the door and said to Black Panther who was standing outside: "I'll say it here."

Black Panther did not dare look in, and only said: "Reporting to Your Highness, there's a rebellion in the north. Previously, the civilians and warriors of the Upper Nether Realm that we won from the Gambling Competition have rebelled together, and are currently attacking the city our troops are guarding."

Hearing that it was from the north, Tuoba Rui heaved a sigh of relief, because he knew that his three hundred thousand strong army was protecting the north.

"Why is it reversed?" Even so, Tuoba Rui felt that something was amiss.

"The people and armies of the Upper Nether are divided to the Princess, but without her presence, the Princess has sent out her officials to be incompetent, making her unwilling to accept the rule of our Great Zheng." The black panther described the news he had received this morning.

After Tuoba Rui understood, he asked again: "How many people are on the other side?"

"Including the citizens, there are more than 500,000 people in the army." The black panther said.

Tuoba Rui frowned and muttered: "Why are there so many people?"

It looked like he was going to the northern border himself.

Hua Ruge was also completely awake at this time. She sat up from the bed, and said from within: "Did the people in my territory rebel?"

She felt dizzy after hearing the news. She was going to become a rich person. If this went on, not only would she not be a rich person, she might even be punished.0

Why did these people rebel?

Because no one cared.

Why is no one concerned?

Just because she, Hua Ruge, had taken over the territory for a year, she did not manage it at all.

If the emperor were to be held accountable for this matter, it would appear that his mind was not wronged.
