Imperial Doctor Qin and the imperial guards went back in defeat. No one can imagine how angry the emperor was, but…

Seeing Imperial Doctor Qin’s bloody right hand, the emperor couldn’t say anything to blame.

It was not that Imperial Doctor Qin was incompetent, it was because Lin Chujiu was too shameless. She doesn’t care about her face and pretend to be mad and stupid.

For this kind of person who has free will, the emperor couldn’t think of a way to deal with it.

“Go back and rest. I know about this.” There was no reward or punishment. This was the best ending for Imperial Doctor Qin. Imperial Doctor Qin repeatedly thanked the emperor, took three steps back, and then leave.

The Emperor stretched out his hand and rubbed the bridge of his nose. He was about to send someone to Xiao Wangfu to investigate Lin Chujiu’s injuries. When suddenly, he heard the eunuch shout loudly and sharply: “Urgent report from the west customs eight hundred miles away, it’s a war report, a war report!”

The eunuch’s voice was in a rush and panic. The emperor could tell the urgency by hearing it.

“West Customs? Did the Western Country started to attack?” The emperor’s face slightly changed, but he was not surprised. He was someone who had experienced many big storms. And so, he sat quietly on the dragon chair, waiting for the report to appear.

As the emperor thought, the Western Country sent troops!

However, the Western Country didn’t send troops to the front line to support the Northern Country but instead sent a large army to attack the West Customs. The Eastern Country had already fought with them several times before.

“West!” The emperor smashed the battle report to the ground angrily. Although the emperor had long guessed that since the southern country sent troops, the western country will soon come out, he still felt angry when he saw the report: “You… … deceiving people too much.”

His first few words were vague.

He can’t help it. Some words can be done but can’t be said. Especially, at this time.

“You tell the two prime ministers, the generals, the secretariat, the ministry of war, that we are going to discuss this matter, while the crown prince, Prince Zian, and Prince Wen must also be present.” The emperor said to call several important officials. The eunuch nodded his head again and again, then rushed out to send orders.

As soon as the eunuch passed the order, another little eunuch came in: “Your majesty, Prince Ji Fengyu is asking an audience.”

“Ji Fengyu, how dare he come? Let him in… …” Although the central empire was behind the scenes, the emperor was still disgusted by the western country’s movement taking advantage of others.

*

The Western Army came to the border, the number of troops stationed at the border was limited. The emperor had to mobilize troops to go there. At the same time, he had to raise grains and send them there first.

Each of these events was important. Compared with these events, investigating Lin Chujiu’s injury in the face became a trivial matter. Even Princess Fushou Zhang’s funeral has become a trifling matter.

At this moment, the whole country’s attention was focused on the fact that the western country sent troops to attack the east. Princess Fushou Zhang’s funeral was left unattended, the empress has no other choice but to take this matter and hastily buried the people.

The funeral was very simple. Anyway, the person who died was not the real Princess Fushou Zhang. So the emperor was not dissatisfied with the empress’s actions. He also gave her a hint that Princess Fushou Zhang was married, so she cannot be buried in the imperial tomb.

Just kidding, the imperial tomb was buried with their ancestors. The corpse’s identity was unknown. So even if she died under Princess Fushou Zhang’s name, she couldn’t be buried in the imperial tomb.

The empress didn’t know the ins and outs of the story, she simply thought that the emperor doesn’t want to see Princess Fushou Zhang. So she pretended to persuade a few words but still acted according to the emperor’s wishes.

The front line battle will not wait for anyone. The emperor put all his energy into the battle against the west, it took him 5 to 6 days to arrange things properly.

When he was finally free, the emperor remembered Lin Chujiu’s affairs. However, before he could make arrangements, the leader of the spy came to report: “Your majesty, this subordinate caught up with the Zhang Family’s ship but was found out by the Zhang Family. This subordinate destroyed the ship and everyone died. No one came back alive.”

In other words, they didn’t rescue Princess Fushou Zhang, and they don’t need to do a follow-up work.
