Wei Shuo's shout shook the rooftops!

Its imposing presence is truly awe-inspiring.

At this moment, he was not just an angry prince consort; it was as if he had returned to the time when he was conquering the northern frontier, his iron cavalry charging straight into the barbarian camp, his imposing presence radiating a sharp and fierce aura that made people afraid to look directly at him.

The guards inside the mansion instinctively took a half step back.

Wang Ming's face also showed horror.

Even Ren Tianye narrowed his eyes slightly.

Only now did I truly realize the significance of this general from humble beginnings who rose through the ranks to become the Marquis of Changping based on his military achievements. If such a talent hadn't been burdened by the messy affairs of the Princess, he would surely have been a pillar of the court!

With a general like this in charge, he could quell most of the rebellions in the world, making him far superior to that good-for-nothing Lu Qing.

Despite such imposing presence, Princess Xiao Ruyi remained calm and composed, her demeanor as serene as a chrysanthemum.

Not even the slightest ripple appeared in his eyes.

She said calmly, "We are husband and wife, yet you always have to be so calculating with me. Sigh, luckily I knew you would be like this, and I didn't have any hope for you anyway."

"You're not someone I should have any hope for."

"I have written down all your misdeeds, clearly recording your lifelong sycophancy, unscrupulousness, murder, and butchering."

"Later, I will announce it to the whole world!"

"Let the world know how hard my life has been with you, but a gentleman remains steadfast in the face of danger, and I..."

Xiao Ruyi then referred to herself as "this Empress" again, raising her voice slightly: "This Empress is no less capable than anyone else."

"I will not fight or snatch!"

"I will not steal what others cherish, and I will not have dirty thoughts."

"I, however, married the wrong person!"

Hearing this, Ren Tianye felt that if there were a plate of melon seeds in front of him, he would definitely be eating them but forgetting to swallow them.

This is ridiculously explosive!

They were like this in life, why won't they be spared after death?

And they still want to spread rumors and slander?

Is this person as indifferent as a chrysanthemum?

The doctor next to him was also extremely nervous. He had been visited three times by Su Hong, who offered him generous gifts and promised to take care of his grandson. Only then did the elderly doctor travel thousands of miles from the northern frontier.

It was all to save this person.

I just examined the injuries, and they can be saved, absolutely saved!

But damn it, if this continues, how can he save him?

He's not some kind of immortal being!

Wouldn't that be letting down Master Su Hong's good intentions?!

He had quietly taken out a pill from his pocket. It was a pill he had painstakingly prepared over many years after taking care of countless wounded brothers in the army in the northern frontier.

Not many, but truly precious.

But now... let's not be so reluctant to part with it, shall we?!

Sure enough, blood was seen spilling from the corner of Wei Shuo's mouth. Without hesitation, the doctor inserted another needle, then pried open Wei Shuo's mouth and pressed the pill inside.

The pill melted instantly upon entering the mouth, saving a lot of trouble.

Wei Shuo's ashen face regained a few traces of life, and he was about to stand up and angrily retort. After all, he had been proud all his life, rising from humble beginnings to the position of Marquis of Changping. He had not only failed to benefit from the Princess's mansion in the slightest, but had also been subsidized in every way, yet he still did such a thing.

Right now, he feels that he is about to die. Lying on his sickbed, looking back on half a lifetime, he feels that he has been confused and that his sincere heart has been wasted. The only thing that can make him smile is the ups and downs he caused among the barbarians and the Helan Mountain gap.

If such a hero, after his death, were to be falsely accused, especially by his closest wife, causing him to lose his reputation and suffer a complete defeat, he would not be at peace even in the afterlife.

"Xiao Ruyi, you..."

"No, General, take it easy..." The doctor quickly pressed down, pressing down hard, with only one thought in his mind: don't die.

The doctor used some techniques when he pressed that spot.

Wei Shuo was unable to move. He had just breathed a sigh of relief when he heard a commotion outside the door. It sounded like someone was breaking into the Princess's residence, and his heart skipped a beat.

It should be noted that the Princess's residence covers a considerable area. They were in the front hall, some distance from the main gate, yet the sound could still reach this area. How could her patient possibly rest here?

"Before I came, I knew rescuing people would be difficult, but I really didn't expect it to be this difficult!"

"And the real difficulty isn't even the arrow wound!"

As the doctor was thinking this, a personal guard rushed in from outside the door. He first ran to Wang Ming's ear and said something. Wang Ming quickly walked over and whispered something in Ren Tianye's ear.

He whispered, "General, someone outside is trying to break in. He seems to be in a great hurry. He claims to be Imperial Censor Wang, so he must be..."

Wang Ming didn't finish his sentence, but Ren Tianye understood. Wei Shuo kept calling him a bastard, and the Princess was also Lord Wang; it seemed...

It's someone who's coming!

"Bring them in!"

Ren Tianye gave the order without hesitation.

"yes!"

Wang Ming went to relay the order, and soon a middle-aged man entered. He was wearing a long robe, had a few strands of beard under his chin, and a lean and angular face, making him a handsome man.

To have such a face at this age, one can imagine that he must have been an even more handsome young man in his youth.

After entering the room, Imperial Censor Wang's gaze first swept over Wei Shuo, and his eyes lit up, showing a sense of pleasure at having avenged a great enemy. However, he quickly turned his gaze to Ren Tianye.

He gave a slight bow, then said calmly, "When I entered just now, I found soldiers guarding the entrance. Upon asking, I learned that they were your personal guards, Grand Commandant."

"The Eldest Princess is a trusted minister of His Majesty, a pillar of the Great Yu, and was once praised by the late Emperor as 'the white jade pillar supporting the sky of the Great Yu, and the purple gold beam spanning the sea.' It is true that the Grand Commandant has troops under his command, but is it a bit excessive to display personal guards at the Eldest Princess's residence?"

Ren Tianye remained calm and composed.

He felt a surge of anger, which dampened his good mood for watching the drama unfold. However, this anger was not only directed at the Imperial Censor Wang, but also at the ministers in the court.

Let's be respectful to him... and respect him as well.

But it just wouldn't work for him.

But to say these people have integrity? Very few do. As far as he knows, the most principled, the Duke of Zhenguo, is dead. Now, only the Grand Master of Ceremonies, Pei Jingzhi, still has a burning passion. The rest…

His behavior was strange.

They were indifferent to him, neither showing dislike nor closeness. It was as if everyone was busy with their own things and ignored Ren Tianye.

He said calmly, "Recently, there has been unrest in the capital. I, the Grand Commandant, am worried about the safety of the Princess's residence and have specially dispatched troops to protect it. Why... do you have to interfere?"

Imperial Censor Wang immediately bowed and said, "I see. I was being presumptuous. I hope the Grand Commandant will not take it to heart."

Seeing that Ren Tianye did not answer, he continued, "Today, I was invited by the Princess to handle some private matters here. It would be perfect if you could be here, Grand Commandant."

"Perfect opportunity to bear witness!"

He gave Ren Tianye a respectful bow before turning to Princess Xiao Ruyi and asking, "Princess, you invited me here to settle the matter from back then."

"I arrived as promised."

"have no idea……"

Imperial Censor Wang looked at Wei Shuo: "General Wei, how do you intend to apologize to me?"

"snort!"

"I told General Wei beforehand that the Princess and I were childhood sweethearts and she should have married me. But at the martial arts contest for the consort, you insisted on coming out and even dared to deliberately defeat me, preventing us lovers from being together. As a result, I broke both my legs, and even now, they still ache when the weather is cold."

Such behavior is truly despicable.

"I won't forgive you easily."

"You need to show some sincerity today!"

Princess Xiao Ruyi smiled slightly and said, "Lord Wang, don't worry, Wei Shuo will show his sincerity."

As she spoke, she squatted down and said, "Wei Shuo, you have been too willful and reckless in your life, committing so many evil deeds. Now that you are about to die, it is a good time to end it all."

"I know you're proud and feel this is humiliating, but how can life be without trials and tribulations?"

"Just bear with it and suffer a little."

"That way, even if I'm in the afterlife, I'll feel a little better."

The doctor pressed one hand on Wei Shuo's meridians, then looked expectantly at Ren Tianye, hoping Ren Tianye would stop this farce, because he knew that if this stimulation continued, it would be good if Wei Shuo didn't faint.

Unfortunately, before Ren Tianye could receive his signal, Wei Shuo, on the verge of death, suddenly jumped up and threw a punch with all his might, hitting Wang Yushi's annoying little face.

Wei Shuo was already at his limit, and this punch was not actually very powerful. However, he was a strong and powerful man, and even at his worst, he was not weaker than an ordinary person. On the other hand, Imperial Censor Wang was a weak scholar who had been holding a pen all year round, and he could not withstand a beating at all.

Then, a scream was heard.

Imperial Censor Wang covered his face and fell to the ground.

Before he could shout, Ren Tianye's voice rang out from beside him.

"Yes, this witness, I, the Grand Commandant, will certainly do my best for Lord Wang. Wang Ming, make a note of this: Censor Wang was almost made to cry by a punch from Wei Shuo."

"Yes, General, I've recorded it word for word: Imperial Censor Wang was punched by Wei Shuo so hard he almost died!"

As Ren Tianye and Wang Ming were joking around, Imperial Censor Wang's screams were deafening, as if he had suffered endless humiliation. He roared, "Princess, why is Wei Shuo still like this?"

"Over the years, you and she have been husband and wife, but he has not learned a single bit of your magnanimity, courtesy and kindness. He is still a rude and uncouth person."

Princess Xiao Ruyi's expression was also somewhat unpleasant, but as always, she was not angry. She simply stood up, shook her head, and said, "Wei Shuo, you have really disappointed me."

"You're barely surviving, yet you're still like this."

"You have almost defiled the reputation of my Princess's residence."

"However, I won't let this go on."

As she spoke, the princess walked to the side of Imperial Censor Wang. Due to the strict separation between men and women, she did not personally help Imperial Censor Wang up, but she had her personal maid help him up.

She said softly, "Lord Wang, it is my fault for not handling things well, which caused you to be injured. I will personally come to apologize later. I hope you will not be angry."

She paused, glanced at Wei Shuo, and then said, "However, Lord Wang, please rest assured, although Wei Shuo still refuses to apologize to you, his health is poor and he is about to collapse."

"After he passes away, I will immediately take his ashes to Lord Wang's residence to apologize on his behalf..."

Before the princess could finish speaking, Wei Shuo coughed up a mouthful of blood with a "poof," his eyes widened, and then his body swayed and he fell backward.

However, he did not fall to the ground.

The doctor had already supported him, checking his pulse, and said urgently, "Gentlemen, please stop arguing! This general is suffering from a stroke due to extreme anger; his blood is churning. We must save him quickly!"

Ren Tianye stood up: "Then let's go save them."

Immediately, he looked at the eldest princess and said calmly, "This Grand Commandant is just like the eldest princess. She is gentle and unassuming, does not compete or fight, and is very kind-hearted. She cannot bear to see anyone die in front of her."

"I, the Grand Commandant, will take this person with me."

After saying that, he didn't give Princess Xiao Ruyi a chance to refuse, or rather, even if Xiao Ruyi refused, he didn't care at all. He said to Wang Ming, "Take this General Wei back to the Grand Commandant's mansion for treatment."

As Ren Tianye's confidant, Wang Ming was increasingly understanding Ren Tianye's thoughts. Ren Tianye was interested in Wei Shuo. But thinking about it, it made sense. Someone who could earn the merit of Marquis of Changping in a place like the Northern Frontier would indeed have to be interested.

Just ...

Wang Ming glanced at Wei Shuo, who was being treated by the doctor.

The general is willing to give Wei Shuo a chance to reinvent himself, but he doesn't know if Wei Shuo can seize the opportunity.

To what extent can we grasp it?

If I'm still as soft-hearted as before, that won't do.

He glanced at Imperial Censor Wang and the Princess again, especially at the Princess, whose eyes held a hint of coldness. In the Northern Frontier Army, he was the most chivalrous, and even the Great General regarded him that way. But this time, his heart was as cold as a knife.

He agreed and had his personal guards help Wei Shuo back to the Grand Commandant's residence, where he was treated by a doctor.

The doctor finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It's really not easy; he's finally given a real chance to save someone.

He immediately unleashed all his skills.

However, even with his expertise in this area, it took him a lot of effort, and it took two full hours to wake Wei Shuo up. He breathed a sigh of relief.

"Grand Commandant, the illness has stopped."

"However, we can't be too stimulating these days."

"If I don't stimulate him, I only need to use the silver needles a few more times and prescribe some medicine for his injuries, and he will recover quickly."

Ren Tianye nodded, promising a generous reward.

But in his heart, he wanted to reward Su Hong handsomely.

Unexpectedly, leaving Su Hong in the Northern Frontier not only supported the army's finances and supplies but also enabled him to accomplish such a task, which greatly pleased him.

"Grand Commandant..."

Wei Shuo opened his eyes, his face still pale, but with a touch of color: "I, Wei Shuo, will never forget your life-saving grace, and will repay you with my life!"

This is typical military rhetoric, and it reflects the sentiments among military personnel. It seems that, deep down, Wei Shuo is still most satisfied with his past glories in the military.

Ren Tianye laughed and said, "You flatter me. It was just a small favor. However, I do need some manpower. We'll talk about it when you're fully recovered."

Ren Tianye's words were vague, but Wei Shuo already understood what he meant and immediately said, "If there's anything I can do to help you, Grand Commandant, please don't hesitate to ask. However..."

Wei Shuo's eyes suddenly sharpened: "I wish to do some things first before serving the Grand Commandant. I wonder if the Grand Commandant would agree?"
