In the future, when there is more money and food, the palace's defense facilities will have to be rebuilt. Fortunately, Nanyang is fine for the time being, and the palace is still safe. Don't be in a hurry, just take your time.

After Ms. Liu received the news, she gently put down her daughter in her arms.

Just as he was about to go out to greet him, he stopped again.

I don't know what she was thinking, but she sat down in front of the bronze mirror and started dressing up.

The daughter stared with dark eyes and looked curiously, as if she hadn't seen her mother putting on makeup in the mirror for a long time.

"What is Mr. Chen doing?" Mrs. Liu asked while tracing her eyebrows.

"Reprimanding the lieutenant." The maid who had just returned from outside replied softly.

"What did he say?"

"He said that the lieutenant was incompetent in military training, which made him very disappointed."

"That's all?"

"Someone from the royal palace reported that the lieutenant was 'recruiting someone to kill someone as his confidant' and had evil intentions."

Ms. Liu frowned and then breathed a sigh of relief.

She had always known Liang Chen to be a ruthless person.

At that time, Sima Yong, the king of Hejian, was defeated and had no other way out. He was ordered to go to Beijing. As a result, Liang Chen intercepted the king of Hejian and his son on the way, strangled the necks of all three of them, and threw their bodies into the wilderness.

After I came to Luoyang, I did some things in private because I had no money.

Liu sent someone to inquire, but Liang Chen denied it. However, since he spent money lavishly and had a group of people in his bodyguard, Liu did not dare to question him too much.

After her unexpected pregnancy, Liang Chen suddenly became honest, respectful in words and deeds, and seemed to have returned to the loyal minister he had been when King Nanyang was still there.

Mrs. Liu felt sad for a while, but then she gradually came to understand.

A vicious dog will only bite its owner under one situation, and that is when the owner is not strong enough.

She is not strong enough, but she can rely on a strong man. Anyway, her chastity has been destroyed by that man...

After arriving in Nanyang, Liang Chen was quite honest at first, but after half a year, perhaps because he felt that Emperor Tiangao was far away, he returned to his old ways, and his attitude gradually became less respectful.

He also secretly sent people to recruit bandits and water thieves, thinking that he was his henchman, and slowly replaced the lower-ranking officers of the Royal Army.

As the replacement progress accelerated, his attitude became more and more bad, and he seemed to regard himself as the master of the palace, until that man led an army of 20,000 people straight to Wancheng.

After putting on makeup, Ms. Liu saw the beautiful face in the mirror and smiled bitterly: "A woman in troubled times."

"Let's go and have a look at the central hall." Mrs. Liu sighed, stood up and said.
