Gu meiya in the end left the hall in utter disappointment. She had already promised her father emperor about this. And she will do it. Moreover the situation in court also had become relatively unstable. Although her imperial concubine mother didn't give birth to a son.
The other consorts in the palace had always been eyeing her mother. And it is not really peaceful in the harem.
And the princes also had been eyeing her uncle. For marquis of hu'an is very well known figure who is respected and very influential in court.
But in the recent years the princes had been pressuring her uncle to join one of their factions.
It's really not easy for him. That's why her mother had been helping him.
Even her father emperor knew about the loyalty of marquis hu'an the princes still kept going. Such her uncle is always facing crisis.
Now she had comeback for real she will share her mother's burden on protecting her loved ones. Her uncle had always been good to her. And his family too.
It is really hard to see a loving family as much as her uncle's family.
Gu meiya deeply sighed for herself.
She looked at the window outside felt the summer breeze. Autumn will soon be approaching.
Suddenly footsteps could be heard.
From the outside a figure dressed in full black arrived at the courtyard. And bowed.
"Miss, subordinate Li si reporting" an elegant male voice sounded.
Gu meiya listening to the voice her eyes lit up immediately.
"Report" her eager voice heard aloud.
Li si nodded. And came in front of his master. "Miss this is the situation of the capital. Miss had been away for long and never paid attention to news on the capital. Has miss heard about the great general Xie?"
Gu meiya had some impression on this matter. This general was conferred the title when he was only eighteen years old. He joined the army at the age of the fourteen. And he is now the war god of the Bei mo.
She heard that he would soon return to the capital. And he must be retuning. Recently he also defeated the northern country. And emperor had summoned him.
That day who came to the emperor's study should be that young general.
Li si continued. "This general had returned after long time. The emperor always kept him in the borders. But recently he had been conferred the title of the duke. For his great contributions towards the Bei mo. dynasty."
Gu meiya's eyes turned sharp. "Duke?"
Li si nodded. "Yes miss"
"Father Emperor never favor anyone without any intention. To confer a hundred year old family's heir as the duke. Even if he won the war it is too much. Is there any connection?"
Li si said "yes miss. The late general Xie. Xie jingshen father saved the emperor life once. And died. Emperor always felt guilty and felt indebted toward this young general."
Gu meiya felt something amiss. Father could have helped the young general in many ways. Why he gave such an important position to him?
It seems father emperor has some plan in his mind.
Seeing his miss in deep thought he asked " miss you have anything to say?" Li si probed.
