He couldn't imagine, and absolutely couldn't tolerate, anyone hurting her.

Moreover, it extends to love that kills without shedding blood.

When the maidservant said to him, "The Grand Secretary doesn't like the young master... The young master tries his best to be nice to him, but he doesn't accept it. Instead, he coldly keeps everyone at arm's length..."

Shi Shu also harbored resentment. If Chu Zhen had accepted Tang Leyan, she wouldn't have had to suffer like this.

But Lord Chu was really good to her, showing concern for her every day and going to great lengths to find rare medicines to nourish her body. But her heart was not with him. Even if he dug out his own heart, what good would it do?

The servant felt heartbroken just reading it.

Xiao Di almost went mad.

He had seen Chu Zhen countless times.

Most of them took place in the imperial court.

In the court this time, he watched as Chu Zhen calmly reported on the affairs of the East Sea. The man spoke with force and conviction, and his attitude was calm and composed.

He then enthusiastically recommended talented individuals, speaking eloquently and with a lively and spirited demeanor.

Then, after bowing to all the adults, they left in high spirits.

He was filled with hatred.

What a joke! Even a fake swordsman can't handle this.

Unexpectedly, Shi Shu went shopping with Tang Leyan to cheer her up.

Just now, while Chu Zhen was in the sedan chair thinking about the times they went shopping together and he bought her clay dolls, she didn't realize that at that time, Tang Leyan was standing in front of that stall, staring blankly at those simple-looking clay dolls.

When Xiao Di arrived as fast as the wind, Tang Leyan and Shi Shu had just stepped out onto the street.

When Chu Zhen thought that Tang Leyan had come to assassinate him, he lifted the curtain and came out, but Tang Leyan had already made her move.

Shi Shu turned around and saw that the person was gone. She hurriedly looked around, but just then she saw Tang Leyan flash in front of Chu Zhen with incredible speed and reach out to tightly grasp the fast sword that had already pierced his chest.

At the same time, she also realized that the one holding the sword was actually Xiao Di.

Shi Shu was greatly shocked and speechless.

In this scene, several people, neither too early nor too late, neither before nor after, happened to meet by chance, following the cycle of cause and effect.

Rolling around like this, such a heart-wrenching chapter... I'd rather not post it today, sob... But I still want to wish everyone a happy Lantern Festival, *sweates* *clutches chest in pain*

Meeting Again in the Vast Heaven Chapter 284 Yin Yang Mismatch

The General Who Conquers the East departed.

Tang Leyan's handwritten letter was also carried by Mo Hua to the East Sea.

Tang Shaosi and Yu Fengqing have always had dealings with the royal family of Yingzhou. According to Tang Leyan, their relationship is quite close. The war in the East China Sea came about strangely.

With Tang Leyan's handwritten letter, if Tang Shaosi and Yu Fengqing can be found as soon as possible, the war in the East China Sea can surely be eased.

After the incident where Xiao Di attempted to assassinate Chu Zhen, Tang Leyan had become much more clear-headed.

Upon waking, she saw the man guarding her and smiled, calling out, "Uncle Zhen."

Chu Zhen looked at her and reached out to touch her hair: "Mmm."

"Did I do something bad?" she asked, blinking.

“No,” he replied.

“But I remember…” she said vaguely.

“I said no, so it is.” He smiled. “The only thing you’ve done that makes me unhappy is making yourself so weak.”

Tang Leyan got out of bed: "Actually, I eat a lot every day. Chu Gexing... is very good to me."

Chu Zhen looked at her: "Ge Xing is very good at taking care of people, but this time he really disappointed me."

Tang Leyan lowered her head and slowly took his hand in hers: "No, it's not his fault, it's my fault."

Her right hand was wrapped in thick gauze, and any movement would cause her pain. Chu Zhen smiled and said, "Le Yan has learned to care about people."

Tang Leyan looked up: "Was I a lot of trouble before...? No, or maybe I still am. ****"

Chu Zhen shook her head: "I don't know about others, but you have never caused me any worry. In my heart, you will always be the most adorable little Leyan."

Tang Leyan tilted her head and smiled, but tears slowly slid down her cheeks: "Forever?"

"Always." Chu Zhen reached out and gently grasped her hand, trying not to hurt her.

"I...I'm sorry, Uncle Zhen." Tang Leyan blinked and tears fell.

"Nonsense... Leyan would never wrong Uncle Zhen. Leyan is Uncle Zhen's lucky star," Chu Zhen put his arm around her shoulder and let her lean against his chest. "Do you remember when we first met, Leyan helped Uncle Zhen and saved his life?"

"I remember, but Uncle Zhen was so impressive too," she said with a smile, trying to open her eyes wide, letting the tears fall.

"Uncle Zhen isn't as imposing as you," Chu Zhen gently patted her shoulder, a smile playing on his lips. "So, don't cry. Okay?"

Tang Leyan wiped away her tears: "I know, I'll listen to whatever Uncle Zhen says."

"Mmm...good girl."

"Does your wound from last time still hurt?" she asked.

"It's all better now."

"I'm so bad, I made Uncle Zhen get hurt." You got hurt too, silly girl.

"Uncle, you really don't blame me?"

"Never blame anyone."

Tang Leyan held back her tears and buried her face in his chest.

Chu Zhen noticed that her thin body was trembling constantly and couldn't help but say, "Le Yan, if you want to cry, just cry."

Upon hearing this, Tang Leyan reached out and grabbed his shirt. Tears streamed down her face like broken beads.

"It's all Uncle Zhen's fault, making you suffer," Chu Zhen said softly.

“No,” Tang Leyan said. “It’s me. I’m bad, very bad. I hate myself like this.”

She reached out and hit her head.

Chu Zhen quickly grabbed her hand: "You mustn't treat yourself like this!"

"It's my fault. It's my fault!" she cried out incoherently.

"Nonsense," Chu Zhen said with a hint of anger. "Leyan is the best place in the world."

"I'm bad. I'm bad!" she suddenly cried out, tears streaming down her face. "I always forced Uncle Zhen to do things you didn't want to do, and now I'm getting my comeuppance."

“Leyan…you didn’t force me to do anything.” Chu Zhen sighed and slowly shook his head. “Uncle Zhen wants you to know that no matter what you do, it won’t change how you are in Uncle Zhen’s heart. Lovely Leyan, Uncle Zhen’s little lucky star.”

"I like Uncle Zhen, and I will always like him," she said.

"Leyan".

He sighed.

Chu Gexing turned around and fled from the doorway as if escaping.

He rushed over as fast as he could after hearing that she was injured, but he never expected to see this scene.

It turns out he was just a passerby; in the end, it was still the two of them who met by chance.

He wanted to cry, he wanted to laugh, and he wanted to kill.

As I hurriedly left the Military Council Office, I bumped into someone from the opposite direction.

The man's attack was too fast, and he didn't have time to stop. He was knocked away by Chu Gexing and sent flying. Fortunately, he was quite skilled and rolled twice on the ground before getting up. When he saw that it was Chu Gexing, he hurriedly bowed and asked, "Is this the Commander of the Nine Gates? Is the Grand Secretary here?"

Chu Gexing stared at him coldly, his peach blossom eyes strangely captivating.

The man was frightened and took a step back, saying, "It's an urgent military intelligence from the northern frontier that needs to be reviewed by Your Excellency."

Just as Chu Gexing was filled with murderous intent, he suddenly heard the words "Northern Frontier" and immediately came to his senses.

"What military intelligence?" he asked.

"It's for the Grand Secretary," the man said, patting his chest.

Chu Gexing stepped forward: "Give it to me."

"But sir..."

“I’ll take it in for you, one last time, bring it here!” he raised his voice.

The man shuddered in fright, hurriedly pulled out a letter from his pocket, stepped forward, and handed it over with both hands.

Chu Gexing took it and said, "You may leave."

The man hesitated for a moment, then met Chu Gexing's red, ferocious eyes. He was so frightened that he dared not object anymore, turned around, and ran away quickly.

Chu Gexing watched the person's departing figure, snorted coldly, and reached out to tear open the envelope.

Looking down at what was written in the letter, Chu Gexing's brows gradually furrowed.

In the northern border region, after a series of incidents in the East China Sea, Chu Zhen's premonition was confirmed, and a small-scale battle also broke out on the Danning border.

Although the scale is not very large, it is already a great warning.

According to the information relayed by General Tie Xue, these conflicts were merely the other side probing the strength of Shun's troops stationed on the border.

The Iron-Blooded General said: Usually, after such a probing attack, a large-scale offensive will follow within three days.

The iron-blooded general warned the court that they should take precautions as soon as possible, lest they be caught off guard by a sudden attack when war breaks out, which would be disastrous.

Furthermore, with a new emperor newly established in the Feng Dynasty, Feng Feisheng is ambitious, and with a regent who has a firm hand, as well as several prominent princes with hereditary privileges assisting him, the country is peaceful and prosperous. It is not impossible for him to launch an attack on Shun.

After reading the letter from the Iron-Blooded General, Chu Zhen didn't even have time to wait before immediately going to the palace to see the Emperor.

After a secret meeting late at night, the emperor and the Grand Secretary made a surprising decision.

The day after the Iron-Blooded General's letter arrived, an imperial decree was announced in the court: Grand Councilor Chu Zhen was to travel on behalf of the Emperor to inspect the borders!

Ostensibly an inspection tour, everyone knew that the emperor was actually appointing a Grand Councilor to lead the expedition in his stead.

A major battle is about to break out.

With only ten chapters left until the end, the situation remains so unpredictable. (Scratching head)

It seems the conflict in the next chapter will be even more intense; you can guess the ending.
