Tang Guixi pressed her face against her arm. “If you don’t agree to help me, I won’t let you go.”

Yu Niaoniao gritted her teeth. “Don’t forget your current identity. You’re the empress, not a scoundrel!”

Tang Guixi was very single. “As long as I can get you to help me, I don’t mind being a scoundrel for once.”

Yu Niaoniao really could not shake off this sticky candy. She was forced to compromise.

In any case, Xiao Juan was not at home during this period of time. She had nothing to do, so helping Tang Guixi deal with government affairs was just to pass the time.

Tang Guixi had followed her father to the military camp since she was young and was very experienced in using troops and martial arts, but she was clueless about studying.

In other words, she was an out-and-out bottom feeder.

Recently, the court was preparing to revise the laws of the Eastern Tang. Tang Guixi looked a the various regulations and almost went crazy.

At this moment, she returned all the amendments to Yu Niaoniao and said ingratiatingly.

Yu Niaoniao moved her arm. “My shoulder seems a little sore.”

Tang Guixi leaned over and massaged her shoulders solicitously. “Is there anywhere else that doesn’t feel well? You can tell me.”

Yu Niaoniao moved her legs again. “My legs seem to be a little sore too.” Tang Guixi immediately squatted down to massage her legs.

When Yu Niaoniao was comfortable, she reached out to pick up the draft law drawn up by the ministers and read it seriously.

Unlike Tang Guixi. that bottom feeder. Yu     had a DhotograDhic memory. She read the draft quickly and memorized all the regulations.

Next was to revise it article by article.

This was a very complicated job and required a lot of patience.

At the same time, Xiao Juan led the Eastern Expedition Army to escort Shen Zhuo and the others out of Eastern Tang.

The Eastern Expedition Army still remembered Shen Zhuo’s withdrawal of food support and the hatred of disregarding the lives of the 300,000 soldiers. All of them held their breaths.

Along the way, they glared at Shen Zhuo with hatred at all times. The dense killing intent was almost about to materialize.

When Xiao Juan was practicing archery, he “accidentally” shot an arrow to Shen Zhuo’s side several times and almost pierced his head.

The commander of the imperial guards following Shen Zhuo questioned angrily, “Xiao Juan, what do you mean by this? Do you want to murder our emperor?!”

Xiao Juan waved his hand and said slowly, “Sorry, my hand slipped.”

His tone was slow and perfunctory.

The commander of the imperial guards was furious.

However, he was under someone else’s roof. This was still Eastern Tang’s territory. In addition, Shen Zhuo was not injured, so he could only suppress his anger.

Apart from that, every time Xiao Juan arrived at an area, he would get the Eastern Expedition Army to spread the news locally and let the local commoners know that the emperor of Dayan was there.

Back then, the Chen Nation’s army burned, killed, and plundered the territory of Eastern Tang, but the dayan Emperor did not save them. This debt had always been remembered in the hearts of the commoners of Eastern Tang.

This was especially true for those who had lost relatives and friends in the war. They were even more vicious to the Dayan emperor.

Because the Eastern Expedition Army was watching from the side, the commoners did not dare to attack the Dayan emperor. They could only follow behind the emperor’s carriage and curse.

The curses entered the carriage and Shen Zhuo heard them clearly.

Involuntarily, he closed his eyes, his hands clenched into fists in his wide sleeves.

So what Yu Niaoniao said was true. Everyone in Eastern Tang hated him.

Even if he could send troops to flatten Eastern Tang, he could not erase the hatred in the hearts of the people of Eastern Tang.

Because of this resentment, Eastern Tang was twisted into a rope and was impregnable.

It was far more difficult for Dayan to take back the Eastern Tang than Shen Zhuo had expected.

At this moment, Shen Zhuo finally felt a trace of regret…

If he had known earlier, he would not have given up on Liaodong back then.

Xiao Juan sent him to the border of the Eastern Tang.

There was no relationship between love rivals. After completing the mission, Xiao Juan did not want to look at Shen Zhuo anymore and planned to leave with the Eastern Expedition Army. Shen Zhuo suddenly stopped him.

“Xiao Juan.”

Xiao Juan rode on the horse and looked at him expressionlessly. “What else?”

Shen Zhuo said, “Tell Niaoniao that her parents’ graves are still fine. I didn’t let anyone disturb them. If Niaoniao is free in the future, she can come back to visit them anytime.”

Xiao Juan was impatient to hear his nagging and casually replied, “Alright.”

Shen Zhuo hesitated for a moment before taking out the small silver earring from his sleeve..
