Chapter 403 - 12.11
Emperor Xianglian was busy fixing the problem with new rebels that started popping out in the smaller towns and more impoverished regions. Emperor Xianliang had been under so much stress nowadays because the military had grown displeased. Many generals had been asking for a leave to be stationed outside of the city.
Even those generals whose troops were guarding the forbidden city were asking for leave for no apparent reason in only three days after there was an intruder alert inside the palace. At first, Emperor Xianglian thought it was just one General who suddenly requested to be stationed outside. When Emperor Xianglian asked the reason, he said:
’There has been someone whom I treasured so much, Your Majesty. He is the darling of the military because he knows how to treat and lead us correctly. He might be younger than me, but he teaches me how to be a good commander. Calling him a good commander and ruler is an understatement."
"But he has been in great suffering, and my woe for him makes me unable to lead my army. I have been distraught. Your Majesty, with this, I’m begging you to send me outside of the forbidden city, so I can practice with my army and relive the days where such great man contributed so much for us, the soldiers," General Lu answered after Emperor Xianliang asked him.
Emperor Xianliang hummed for a moment. He never knew there was such immense talent in the military that he never noticed. Thus, the Emperor asked, "Who is this man you’re talking about? Is he a young general? Or a youngster from military lineage?"
"... No, Your Majesty. His parents are just a merchant. But his talent is definitely one of a kind..." General Lu answered. "But he has such a slag of a husband, so he suffered a lot."
Emperor Xianliang’s eyebrows raised, "This man is a ger?"
"Yes, he is a beautiful ger man who’s already married. But I’ve got the news that his husband is not worth the amount of dedication he put for him," the General said. He wanted to subtly bring the topic of how terrible the Emperor had treated the darling of the military, Empress Xiuying.
The ger man that every man in the military dreamed about when imagining a perfect mother to bear their child and an ideal lover to spend the rest of their life, but he got married to a slag man instead.
