"Oh no! Brother, don’t pull... my ear is going to fall off! Help..."
Hearing his young master’s wailing, the long-serving attendant once again bowed towards the courtyard gate, hoping that Young Master Yuanqing would soften his heart upon seeing the injuries on their young master’s backside and be a bit gentle.
In the front hall of the Lu Mansion, having just met the most promising child among his grandchildren, Commandant Lu finally managed to push thoughts of Lu Yuanpeng aside and was about to relax with a cup of tea when news came from outside that an envoy from the palace had arrived... His Majesty summoned Commandant Lu to the palace.
Commandant Lu promptly stood up, ordered his formal attire to be prepared, changed clothes, and hurried to the palace.
Upon entering the palace, Commandant Lu happened to meet Bai Qingyu and Bai Qingqi. After exchanging formalities among the three, Commandant Lu hurriedly inquired, "King of Zhen, Protector King... Do you know why His Majesty has urgently summoned us to the palace this time?"
"It seems to be regarding the old territories of Daliang. Let’s go... we’ll know after meeting the Eldest Young Lady!" Bai Qingqi gestured invitingly to Commandant Lu.
As the three arrived, Bai Qingyan handed them the memorial sent by the King of Hancheng for review.
"This King of Hancheng hasn’t been in the old territories of Daliang for long and already requests troops..." Commandant Lu looked up towards Bai Qingyan. "Your Majesty, there could be issues, caution is necessary!"
Just as Commandant Lu finished speaking, the tightly closed doors of the grand hall were pushed open, and Bai Jinzhi popped her head in, "Eldest Sister..."
Bai Qingyan looked up to see Bai Jinzhi grinning cheekily, squeezing herself into the hall, closing the door, and running towards Bai Qingyan, Bai Qingyu, Bai Qingqi, and Commandant Lu.
"Eldest Sister, Eunuch Wei didn’t stop me!" said Bai Jinzhi, greeting Commandant Lu and her own brothers before sitting snugly next to Bai Qingyu, craning her neck to see the secret memorial in Bai Qingyu’s hand.
Bai Qingyan initially thought that the impetuous Fourth Sister should not know about this matter for the time being, but since she arrived now, letting her look would do no harm.
Bai Qingyu handed the memorial to Bai Jinzhi, allowing her to read it carefully.
The Fourth Sister was not young anymore; it was time for her to begin sharing the Eldest Sister’s burdens and learn to take care of the younger sisters.
Seeing Bai Jinzhi frown as she read the memorial, Bai Qingyan continued discussing with Commandant Lu, "In any case, the lodging of Sal Khan, the ruler of the Tianfeng Kingdom, in the Dongyi Kingdom is indeed a signal that warrants our vigilance. Originally, we didn’t detain Sal Khan in Zhou because we didn’t want extraneous issues during the diplomatic match, but Sal Khan is undaunted, perhaps thinking that our Zhou and Yan are busy with the diplomatic match, repeatedly testing the limits of our Zhou..."
"As for the Tianfeng Kingdom, it wouldn’t hurt to advance our Zhou’s defense line a bit towards the Tianfeng Kingdom!" Bai Qingyu’s cold demeanor and hoarse voice rang out, "It’s also a warning; send an envoy to the Dongyi Kingdom. Whether through coercion or enticement, we must make the Dongyi Kingdom tense. What does the Eldest Young Lady think?"
