My Wife Is A General Who Killed Tens Of Thousands On The Battlefield Chapter 90: The Magnanimous Emperor

Chapter 90: The Magnanimous Emperor

To have only one type of writing… Wouldn't she have to write it herself?
Su Wen looked at the girl in front of him and didn't know what to say.
"I think I'll just do it myself."
Su Wen was about to snatch the pen and paper when Zhao Wanrou's figure flashed, and she had already brought the pen and paper away.
Her movements were extremely swift, and Su Wen's eyes lit up as he praised, "Good movement technique!"
He knew that Zhao Wanrou had learn martial arts, but he wasn't sure what her cultivation level was. From the looks of it, she was at least at the 2nd or 3rd Stage of Star Rank, which was already considered above average.
Of course, she could not compare to Su Wen.
Zhao Wanrou smiled. "If I say I'll copy, I'll copy. You can just chat with me here."
As she spoke, the girl sat back down at the table and started copying every word.
Su Wen went forward and found that the girl's handwriting was very neat and tidy, much better than his.
At this moment, the eunuch returned. Upon seeing Zhao Wanrou, he hurriedly bowed. "Greetings, Seventh Princess."
Without even lifting her head, Zhao Wanrou said, "Go and stand guard outside. Don't let anyone else in."
"Well…" The eunuch looked troubled.
Su Wen smiled. "Hurry up and get out. My father is not to be trifled with!"
Upon hearing Su Wen's words, the eunuch could only leave helplessly.
He stood at the door and looked around fearfully.
What he was doing now was obviously not in line with Emperor Zhou's intentions. However, in his opinion, the son of the prime minister and the Seventh Princess would only be reprimanded if he complained about them. However, for him, he might disappear from the palace at any time.
Inside the side hall, Zhao Wanrou wrote as she asked, "Do you know why Father punished you to copy books?"
Su Wen was puzzled. "How would I know? He suddenly asked me to copy them for no reason."
Zhao Wanrou said in a soft voice, "This morning, Father summoned Luoying into the palace and brought up the matter of breaking off the engagement!"
Su Wen was overjoyed and smiled. "The engagement is canceled? That's great! But why has no one told me?"
However, he immediately frowned. "But what does this have to do with me copying books?"
In his impression, if Yan Luoying could break off the engagement, she would definitely agree.
As for the intimacy that Yan Luoying showed him at the Eternal Music Pavilion, in Su Wen's eyes, it was just a battle between Yan Luoying and Wu Muyu.
However, Su Wen could not figure out the relationship between copying books and ending the engagement.
"Yan Luoying refused." Zhao Wanrou's tone was a little heavy as she said, "She even threatened to kill herself if Father forcefully annulled the engagement."
"Is this woman crazy?" Su Wen exclaimed.
This was completely out of his expectations.
What was Yan Luoying trying to do?
Zhao Wanrou rolled her eyes at Su Wen and grumbled, "I still have to ask you about this. If you didn't go and flirt with Yan Luoying, why would she do this?"
Feeling aggrieved, Su Wen pointed to the sky and swore, "The Heavens are watching. When did I ever tease that woman? There's absolutely no such thing!"
"What about Wu Muyu?"
"Um… this… actually has a little truth to it… the main thing is she's kind of cute…"
The Seventh Princess stopped writing and turned around to face Su Wen. She smiled and asked, "Is she cuter or am I cuter?"
The girl in front of him had smooth skin and a high nose bridge. A faint fragrance entered his nose whenever he breathed in.
Su Wen's heart raced.
However, this question was difficult to answer.
"Your styles are different… You are not cute, you are more elegant… your temperament is more outstanding…" Su Wen racked his brain for words and suddenly missed his bald language teacher.
"Hmph, that mouth of yours is unreliable!" The Seventh Princess continued to copy the book. As she copied, she said, "In short, Father was in a bad mood today, so it should be because of this. Perhaps he felt that if you didn't provoke Yan Luoying, she wouldn't be like this, so he punished you by asking you to copy!"
Su Wen flew into a rage. "How can there be such a logic in this world? He was the one who forced me to be together with Yan Luoying, and he was the one who transferred me to the patrol office. So, he's blaming me now?"
"You're not convinced?"
"No!"
"Then go and talk to the emperor…"
"He's an elder after all. Am I that rude?"
I, Su Wen, am not afraid of him. I just don't want to be rude!
Late in the night, the copies of Noble's Aspiration which Su Wen 'wrote' were also sent to the Zhou Emperor's study.
Emperor Zhou smiled and said, "This brat is quite diligent. Looking at the situation, he probably hasn't had much rest. I came to see how this brat's writing is and whether he has Su Changqing's style of writing."
Su Changqing was considered a famous calligrapher of the Great Zhou Dynasty. His handwriting was extremely neat and beautiful.
Emperor Zhou took the copy and looked at it. His expression gradually turned into a frown.
His tone turned cold, "Su Wen wrote this?"
The eunuch dropped to his knees. "No… it's…"
He stammered, but Emperor Zhou was too lazy to listen. He casually ordered, "Kill him!"
Suddenly, the eunuch's neck seemed to be gripped by an invisible hand. With a crack, there was no more sound coming from him.
A guard immediately came in and dragged him away.
Emperor Zhou sighed. "Even the servants in the palace want to deceive me. What do you think is going on? Do I look so gullible?"
The old eunuch did not reply.
He knew that Emperor Zhou was in a bad mood today. Otherwise, this eunuch would not have died.
Emperor Zhou said, "I also know that it's hard for these subordinates to do it, but there are some things that they can't hide!"
After saying that, Emperor Zhou looked at the copy in his hand, "The handwriting hasn't changed. Wanrou is trying to tell me that she doesn't want to give up on Su Wen. This child has always been depressed and antisocial, but since she started interacting with Su Wen, she became a lot more joyful. It's indeed a good thing. Her stubbornness hasn't changed, but Yan Luoying… sigh…"
He sighed helplessly.
However, Emperor Zhou immediately turned furious once more.
"This little rascal! He thinks himself so carefree, not even bothering writing a single word! It's all written by my daughter!"
Only now did the old eunuch open his mouth, "How does Your Majesty plan on dealing with this?"
Emperor Zhou closed his eyes and pondered for a moment before saying, "Send the decree. Tell that little bastard that there's no need for him to enter the palace from tomorrow onwards. Stay away from me, the more I see him, the more vexed I get! However, he still have to attend the banquet to welcome the envoys!"
Obviously, Emperor Zhou was a man of many things, but an educator was not one of them.
He mused, "It's time to change his position in the Patrol Office as well. We have to separate these two fellows. Su Wen and Yan Luoying have done a meritorious deed by reestablishing the Secret Shadow Guard. Pass down the decree that from today onwards, Su Wen will be promoted…"
At this point, Emperor Zhou paused, and then continued, "Promoted to… the Profound Language Pavilion as a Lecturer! A Primary 5th Rank Official!"
A smirk appeared at the corner of his mouth. "Rascal! Who told you to be so cocky! I'll throw you together with those smelly and stubborn scholars! I'll disgust you to death!"
"When you send the imperial decree, pass on another decree in my own words. Tell him that if he dares to do the same thing as when he was at the Patrol Office and neglect government affairs, I will punish him!"
The old eunuch asked, "What about Yan Luoying?"
"There's no rush for her. Just leave her in the Patrol Office!"
In the end, Emperor Zhou muttered, "If not for my magnanimity, I would have chopped off this brat's head!"
