The rebellion in the Northwest was already very obvious, the emperor would have to deal with them sooner or later. Therefore, Hua Ruge had not been idling around these days, other than taking care of his daily affairs, he had also been collecting food and organizing the armies of the various prefectures.

If there was to be a war, food and lack of troops would be fatal, and she would have to prepare her supplies in advance to avoid future chaos.

The officials promoted by Tuoba Rui were all very capable, she only needed to command.

The eastern side quickly became under Tuoba Rui's control with the cooperation of Mao Jun and Yan Zixing's one paper and one martial arts. Hua Ruge's policies also came up one after another and everything was arranged in an orderly manner.

That day, after Hua Ruge finished her breakfast, while she was busy dealing with the matters in the study, a purple light suddenly flashed in front of her body, and the mystical beast shaped sable laid on her leg.

"Little Marten is out. I was still hoping to take you out to play when I got busy." Hua Ruge carried him, and said while stroking its smooth fur.

The Little Marten rubbed her head against her hand and said: "Big sister, I can't bear to part with you."

"Why did you suddenly say that?" Hua Ruge asked curiously.

The Little Marten no longer made a sound, and just stuck in her arms, unable to get up no matter what.

Looking at the Little Marten in his arms acting coquettishly, Hua Ruge couldn't help but to laugh, and simply hugged it as he went about handling official matters.

The bright Purple Pupil would glance at Hua Ruge from time to time, and most of the time, it seemed like it was sleeping.

By noon, Hua Ruge was still busy.

"Elder sister, take me out to eat." Little Marten raised her head and said.

Hua Ruge lovingly rubbed his head and smiled: Alright, what do you want to eat?

"Sugar Gourd, Sugar Man, Sugar Cake." The Little Marten replied without hesitation.

"Sure, I'll buy it." Hua Ruge said as he stood up.

The Little Marten, on the other hand, trusted her. Without changing its form, it jumped onto Hua Ruge's shoulder and laid there.

"You'd better turn back, otherwise you'll scare people off on the street." Hua Ruge caressed its head and said lovingly.

The Little Marten blinked its purple eyes, and in a flash, it finally turned into a human beside Hua Ruge. Although he was taller than Hua Ruge, he still looked like a child.

"Turn into a human, big sister won't let me hug you." he muttered.

Hua Ruge laughed and patted his shoulder: "Alright, let's go eat."

Only then did the Little Marten reluctantly accept it.

It was impossible to tell from the scene of the war that the people of Qing Zhou City were enjoying themselves. The streets were bustling with noise and activity, and it was much more lively than before.

This was related to Tuoba Rui cutting the taxes by 10% and it was also the Autumn Harvest. The commoners would be happier when they had enough money.

Hua Ruge liked to join in the fun, and when he saw this scene, he liked it even more.

Because Qingzhou City was a border city which had been through a long period of war, the people here were even more straightforward. They didn't have to be formal with their speech, which actually matched up to Hua Ruge's temper.

She was so happy walking around that she didn't forget to buy snacks for herself and the Little Marten.

Previously, when Tuoba Rui was there, he had kept her busy with snacks. Later on, even though Tuoba Rui left, she got busy and did not eat properly.

The Little Marten had been by Hua Ruge's side for a long time, and those that they liked to eat were basically the same as Hua Ruge.

The two of them came out from the afternoon and played until the evening before visiting all the markets in Qingzhou City.

Finally, the two of them carried a pile of snacks to the end of the city. At this time, the wheat had already been harvested and there were piles of straw on the side that hadn't been pulled away in time.

Thus, the two leaned against the straw and continued chatting as they ate.

Because Hua Ruge was full, he was only cracking melon seeds.

Little Marten liked to eat sweet things and was biting on a sugar man that was blown into a dragon.

"Is Sable happy today?" Hua Ruge asked.

The Little Marten nodded: "I'm very happy."

Because of her and food.

Hua Ruge rubbed her head and said, "Then I'll bring you out to play a lot from now on."

The Little Marten was silent for a while before calling out, "Sister."

"What's wrong?" Hua Ruge tilted his head and asked.

The Little Marten put down the sugar man, looked at Hua Ruge with a face full of reluctance, and said: "I've already been out for a long time, it's time to go back."

No wonder he said he couldn't bear to part with it.

Hua Ruge sighed: "I can't bear to part with you, must you leave?"

Little Marten nodded, her expression also very sad.

Hua Ruge forced out a smile, pinched his face and said: "It's not like I'm not coming back, be happy."

The Little Marten raised its head and looked at her: "Elder sister, let's drink."

Different from before, Hua Ruge firmly shook his head.

"Why?" The Little Marten asked.

"Last time, you just drank with me and left. This time, you should say goodbye." Hua Ruge looked at him and said.

When the Little Marten heard him, it spoke somewhat uneasily, "I don't know what to say."

Hua Ruge smiled and said: "Then don't say anything, I'll watch you leave."

The Little Marten suddenly bent over and gently embraced her.

Hua Ruge was startled, but before he could speak, he had already released her and stood up. From Hua Ruge's side, he could only see his back, his ears were red.

This child.

"I'm giving my sister the blood of the heart. As long as my sister needs me, focus your mind and call me over. If I sense it, I'll come and find my sister." The Little Marten walked away as it spoke.

Hua Ruge stood up and looked at his back, the words of blessing were all in his heart.

Everyone has a different path to follow, so it's normal for people to be sad and happy. I don't want to be too sad, I just want you to be happy no matter where you are.

In a blink of an eye, twelve days had passed since Tuoba Rui left the battle. What he wrote to Hua Ruge were all successful events, but Hua Ruge knew that although his battle had gone smoothly, he had still put in a lot of effort.

She wrote back to tell him to take care of his body, and at the same time, she told him to adjust his army in the back so that he could continue to support her and ensure his safety.

That day, when Hua Ruge was eating breakfast, the guard sent him another letter. As usual, the letter didn't mention anything, but when Hua Ruge took it from him, he knew that it wasn't from Tuoba Rui.

This was because there was a faint fragrance lingering around the letter; it was the fragrance of a woman's spice.1

She opened it and saw that it was indeed written by Hong Xiu, and it introduced the situation in the capital.

The Emperor was furious, but the Battle King magnanimously sent someone back. The Emperor had no reason to flare up, nor did he dare to directly turn against the Battle King, so he gave the order to behead the eunuch.

When Hua Ruge saw this, he not only laughed, but also thought that Tuoba Rui's scheme was far more clever than his conspiracy.

However, when she read the rest of the story, the smile on her face froze.

The information was as follows. After the emperor received Mao Jun and Yan Zixing from the east side, he furiously withdrew the authority of the General Mao and took the entire Mao family and Yan family captive. He said that after he was convicted, he would punish them.
