Mrs. Lin naturally took the steps that Su Leyun handed over.

Similarly, Su Leyun also agreed to Mrs. Lin's request and helped her sew embroidery together.

After leaving the Lin Mansion, Sun Jiarou's expression was a bit solemn on the carriage.

"Mom, if you have any questions, just ask Yun'er."

Su Leyun held Sun Jiarou's hand and leaned on her shoulder.

Sun Jiarou sighed and stroked Su Leyun's hair, "Why did you agree to Mrs. Lin?"

She was not angry at Su Leyun, but at herself, the mother-in-law.

It is normal for her children to have their own thoughts when they are older, but since the affair of the outer room was revealed, she looked at everyone in the Su Mansion and realized how closed-minded she had been in the past.

She used to be grateful to Mrs. Su and thought that Mrs. Su wanted her to live a more leisurely life.

Now that I think about it, it was just that Mrs. Su didn't trust her and was unwilling to hand over the power of the head of the family.

"Mom, my daughter doesn't want to hide it from you. The double-sided embroidery is the 'brick' I used to knock on the door of Lin Mansion." Su Leyun straightened up and met Sun Jiarou's eyes. "Although the two uncles are still fighting bravely on the battlefield, Killing the enemy is a great achievement. In recent years, His Majesty rarely promoted the two uncles, but only sent many rewards. Instead, it was the Su family. Although Su Houye inherited the position of Marquis, he was actually a civil servant. There is no military power here, so your Majesty has promoted Mr. Su several times, isn’t it just to suppress our Sun family?”

Sun Jiarou looked at Su Leyun, how could she have imagined that such words came from her daughter's mouth.

She had obviously only come back not long ago, but she saw the situation of the Sun family so clearly.

"Yun'er, if my mother hadn't lost you back then, you wouldn't be like this now."

"Mom, that incident was never your fault." Su Leyun held Sun Jiarou's hand and smiled softly, "Now that our mother and daughter are reunited, it is the best arrangement for Yun'er."

Su Leyun was extremely grateful to be able to live another life and return to his mother.

Where can I be greedy?

"Mom knows you have a plan, so I won't say anything more about this. Don't force yourself too much."

Sun Jiarou blinked away the tears in her eyes.

Su Leyun smiled and said, "I listen to my mother."

In the palace.

Royal study room.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. I believe that these homeless people from the northwest must be eliminated as soon as possible!"

"Your Majesty, I think we can try to negotiate peace first, maybe..."

"General Li, just because you don't dare to fight doesn't mean that others don't."

The man in front couldn't help scolding him.

General Li also changed his expression, "I heard from General Yu that you are willing to send troops to fight the homeless people in the northwest?"

"I didn't say that."

General Yu coughed lightly and turned away.

Looking at the generals who were making excuses below, the emperor's expression became even worse.

"Okay! I called you here to discuss a solution? I didn't do it to see you bickering!"

Several generals closed their mouths and looked at each other, not daring to raise their eyes to look at the furious emperor.

"These homeless people from the northwest have been harassing our borderland. I don't think they have any intention of negotiating peace. What do you think?"

The emperor's face turned cold.

"Your Majesty... Weichen thinks maybe our sincerity is not enough?"

"Sincerity?" The emperor looked at General Yu coldly, "General Yu, do you think that ceding Dasheng's territory is enough sincerity?"

"Wei Chen doesn't dare!"

"What does General Li mean?"

The emperor ignored General Yu who was kneeling on the ground and looked directly at General Li.

The latter was stared at by the emperor, and soon cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"I thought... the homeless people in the northwest are so arrogant, they should be taught a lesson."

"I think so too. General Li thinks the same as me. How about I just send General Li to deal with the homeless people in the northwest?"

"Go back to the emperor, I...I am worried that I am not capable enough."

General Li's legs were shaking a little. He talked about fighting, but if he really went to the battlefield, he might not be able to stay for a while.

Looking at these people, the emperor's expression became calmer and calmer, but underneath the calmness there was a hint of turmoil.

"His Royal Highness King Jin has arrived."

The door of the royal study room was pushed open, and Xiao Shengyu met the eyes of several generals and entered slowly.

"I pay my respects to Your Majesty."

"Get up."

Seeing Xiao Shengyu, the emperor's expression softened, but his tone was still hard.

Several generals also saluted Xiao Shengyu, but they were muttering in their hearts, why is His Highness the King of Jin here now?

"What do you think about the homeless people in the northwest?"

The emperor raised his head and asked.

Xiao Shengyu narrowed his eyes, and after a moment, he said: "Back to the emperor, the northwest border is our fortress. The homeless people in the northwest harassed us several times, but they really did not take our country seriously. I believe that such arrogance should be severely punished. That’s it.”

"Well said, he is indeed my son!" The emperor smiled a little more, but he was very satisfied with Xiao Shengyu's answer, "Then what do you think we should do?"

"kill."

Xiao Shengyu spoke calmly, and the word "kill" made several people present feel cold.

General Yu and General Li looked at each other, and both saw a chill in their eyes.

His Royal Highness, Prince Jin, has never been on the battlefield, but in his early years, I heard that he brutally killed the wet nurse who raised him. Such courage is really shocking.

No wonder he could say such a thing.

"Then who do you think I should send?"

"I am willing to go."

At this time, even the emperor was stunned.

"You really want to go?"

The emperor stared into Xiao Shengyu's eyes, which were very much like the late queen's, and his heart trembled slightly.

Xiao Shengyu didn't care about the emperor's reaction. Since his biological mother passed away, his relationship with the emperor had become cold.

"As a prince, I naturally have to take the lead."

Naturally, he didn't just agree to go to the northwest. He also had his own plans.

The emperor frowned, "I'll think about this again. You all should go down first. Yu'er, you stay."

Several generals lowered their heads and walked out of the imperial study.

The emperor and Xiao Shengyu were left alone.

"Why do you want to go to the northwest?"

"The emperor wants to deal with the homeless people in the northwest, I just want to relieve the emperor's worries."

Xiao Shengyu returned coldly.

Even if only the father and son are left now, Xiao Shengyu still calls himself his minister.

The emperor's eyebrows showed a bit of confusion, "Yu'er, this matter..."

"Your Majesty, if you don't want me to go, I won't go."

After saying that, Xiao Shengyu turned around to leave when he heard an angry voice coming from behind: "Stop!"

Xiao Shengyu stopped and asked, "Is the Emperor going to change his mind?"

"You...really want to be so alienated from me all the time?"

"Your Majesty, you are worrying too much."

"Since you want to go, I agree."

The emperor sighed and fell into his chair.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Xiao Shengyu turned around, bowed his hands, and then left the imperial study.
