"I understand. Someone, prepare pen and ink."

Xiao Ye had a general idea in mind, but when he found that Su Zhen didn't seem to want to mention it, he didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he had someone prepare pen and ink.

He would naturally not refuse anything that could save Luo'er.

Soon, Su Zhen finished writing the letter with a solemn expression and handed it to Che Yi.

"When you meet the Regent, you must deliver this letter to him. This letter is very important; it is a guarantee that the Crown Princess will be safe and sound in the Northern Desert."

"Um."

Che Yi responded softly.

He found Su Zhen's attitude somewhat strange, but out of his moral conscience, he suppressed his urge to secretly open and read it.

Although he did not intend to meet the Regent directly, he could find other ways to deliver the letter to the Regent once he arrived in the Northern Desert.

After seeing Su Zhen and the others off, Xiao Ye immediately tidied himself up and went to the palace.

He had not received a reply to the memorial he submitted to Emperor Wenjian, and he was getting really anxious. He wished he could be like Che Yi and rush to the Northern Desert to find Su Liluo immediately.

Since the Emperor is ignoring my memorial, I'll just have to do something shocking to make him angry.

"You say the Snow Lotus is fake, what evidence do you have to prove it?"

In the Imperial Study, Xiao Ye noticed that Emperor Wenjian was hesitant about his memorial requesting an attack on the Northern Desert, so he directly told him about how the Regent had deceived him with fake Snow Lotus.

“Father, the real Snow Lotus has been stolen. Your son has evidence and witnesses that the Regent has sent to the Northern Desert to find the fake Snow Lotus.”

Xiao Ye calmly explained.

That's right. In the process of searching for Su Liluo these past few days, he accidentally discovered evidence that the Regent had secretly ordered people to find fake Snow Lotus.

This can be considered a case of hard work paying off, giving him a great opportunity.

After Emperor Wenjian read the evidence presented by Xiao Ye and listened to the witness's words, his originally rosy face turned ashen.

Unable to contain his anger, he slammed his fist on the table: "Outrageous! They dare to deceive me with counterfeit goods!"

He is the emperor, how could he be fooled by counterfeit goods!

This is an absolute disgrace!

Emperor Wenjian was truly enraged this time. "Crown Prince, I have granted your request to attack the Northern Desert! Once you are fully prepared, you shall immediately set off to attack the Northern Desert for me!"

Also, remember to bring back the real Snow Lotus for me! As for the pretext for the campaign, it is naturally because they have committed atrocities on my Great Liang territory and have committed the crime of deceiving the emperor!

Do you also want to bring back the real snow lotus?

Xiao Ye's eyes darkened slightly. The real Snow Lotus was in Luo'er's hands. If she were willing to give it to her father, she probably would have done so long ago.

Moreover, his father didn't agree to it because he wanted to save Luo'er; ultimately, it was because of his own selfishness and anger.

Forget it, we'll talk about that later. The most urgent thing is to obtain the right to attack the Northern Desert.

On the other side.

After nearly ten more days of arduous travel, Su Liluo and his companions finally arrived at the Northern Desert Imperial City.

Since Su Liluo did not show any intention of escaping during this time, the Regent and his men lowered their guard against her.

At this point, she was no longer locked in a carriage like a prison cart, but was riding in a carriage with Gao Junning.

When the Regent's procession entered the city, the people stood in unison on both sides, and countless soldiers maintained order along the roadside.

Apart from the sounds of welcoming the Regent back to the city, there was no other noise along the roadside.

This demonstrates the high status of the Regent in the Northern Desert.

"Mother! Your daughter has finally seen you! I've missed you so much! Waaah..."

After the carriage slowly came to a stop, Gao Yufei was the first to rush out of the carriage and head straight for the Regent's Consort, who was standing in the distance, dressed in a gorgeous palace gown.

The Regent's wife only had one son, Gao Junning, and one daughter, Gao Yufei, so she doted on both of them.

Gao Yufei had been wronged in Daliang, and now that she saw her mother, she felt that her mother would definitely help her get justice, so she immediately ran over and acted coquettishly.

"Alright, Feifei, now that everyone's back, there are so many people watching. Be mindful of your manners."

The Regent's wife held Gao Yufei in her arms, patted her back affectionately, and smiled.

Then, she looked toward the carriage in the distance, wanting to see the Regent and Gao Junning.

However, her gaze suddenly changed when she saw a woman following behind Gao Junning.

Who is that woman?

The Regent's wife placed her hand on Gao Yufei's back, her eyes narrowed, watching Su Liluo behind Gao Junning warily.

Although they were quite far apart, she could vaguely sense from the woman's figure and indistinct outline that she was quite beautiful.

Could it be that my son has caught the eye of some woman in Daliang?

Didn't you say that this trip to Daliang was to let your daughter pick a satisfactory husband to bring back?

Why didn't you bring back your son-in-law, but instead brought back a woman?

She personally selected her son, daughter-in-law, and the women around her; she didn't trust this wild woman she brought back from outside.

“Mother, that’s the wife Father chose for my brother. Father said he wanted my brother to marry her, but she’s already been married before. Father still wants my brother to marry her, and no matter how I try to persuade him, he won’t listen.”

Gao Yufei didn't need to look to know that her mother was asking about Su Liluo, so she immediately told her a story.

"What? Has your father gone mad? How could he allow Junning to marry a woman who has already lost her virginity!"

The regent's wife was furious when she heard that her son was to marry her as his principal wife, and that she was a woman who had been married before.

Her husband is absolutely incompetent!

No, she absolutely won't allow it!

So she walked directly toward Gao Changhong and the others, and only when she got closer did she see Su Liluo's appearance clearly.

"you---"

The Regent's wife looked at Su Liluo in astonishment, a sentence stuck in her throat.

"lady."

Gao Changhong broke the silence. He glanced back at Su Liluo, who looked bewildered, and then slowly explained to the Regent's Consort.

"Madam, this is Su Liluo, the woman Junning likes."

"Are you crazy? Changhong, she's a woman who's been married before! How can you let Junning marry a woman like that? I don't agree! Don't even think about it!"

After realizing what was happening, the Regent's wife heard the Regent's affirmative tone and immediately retorted angrily.

Gao Changhong's face darkened. "Madam, I have already made up my mind. Since they are both willing, then I will grant their wish. She is the daughter of General Su of Daliang, and her status is worthy of Junning."

“No, I am his mother, and I decide his marriage. Junning, do you really like this woman who has been married before? Did your father force you? Tell your mother.”

The Regent's wife looked at Gao Junning with excitement.
