"What did the doctor tell you when he came over today?" As soon as Lu Li entered the door, he asked An Xiabai about her physical condition.

An Xiabai was drowsy, and when she opened her eyes when she heard this, she suddenly became energetic, and she wanted to joke with a smile that he was worried too much, but when she saw Lu Li's slightly frowning brows, she suddenly felt a little unbearable, something must have happened to King Li, otherwise Lu Li would not have shown a similar expression.

But what happened, she couldn't ask directly, so she could only suppress the doubts in her heart and repeat the doctor's explanation earlier.

Hearing that it was just anemia that caused her face to be bad, Lu Li's heartstrings relaxed slightly: "Since the doctor has spoken, what are your plans in the future, madam?" ”

Today, An Xiabai was persuaded by the Zhou family, and she already wanted to open it, she took Lu Li's hand, and winked at him with a smile: "Husband, I have decided, in the future, the things in the restaurant will be handed over to Liu Er and Simin, and the troublesome things will be handed over to the prince, in short, I will never interfere in the things they can do well." ”

The restaurant is the meat of her heart, and when she got such an answer, Lu Li was half happy and half worried: "What about you?" ”

"I, I'll stay at home and teach my son well." She curled up in her arms like a cat, her eyes brightened, and said, "No matter how bad it is to have a husband to support me and the child, I am not afraid." ”

Lu Li got a satisfactory answer, and his brows finally relaxed.

She can figure out the best, the restaurant is where her career lies, the beauty pavilion is also her own heart, and Lu Li herself is also a person who has made contributions, so she naturally understands her mood.

"But—" An Xiabai held his hand and discussed in a low voice, "I have to go to the restaurant tomorrow to explain the future." ”

Lu Li immediately sank his face: "Don't go." ”

Saying anything can't make An Xiabai continue to insist, the restaurant is important, and the body is even more important.

"But the matter of the restaurant must be explained." An Xiabai made a difficulty, pretending to be pitiful and trying to make Lu Li's heart soft-hearted, but he never expected that her husband, who had always accommodated her, would be unmoved in this matter, so he finally relented, "If you want to explain the future affairs of the restaurant, you don't have to go in person, so let the restaurant shopkeeper come to the house to discuss things." ”

An Xiabai was helpless, so she had to nod.

She found that Lu Li's frowns were tightly wrinkled, and she wanted to tease him and make him happy: "Today Aunt Zhou told me about things when I was a child, I didn't expect that husband, you usually look such a serious person, and when you were a child, you were also a demon king of the world, Aunt Zhou said that when you were a child and secretly climbed over the wall to go out to play in order to avoid your homework, I thought I heard it wrong." ”

"What did she tell you about this?" Lu Li said embarrassedly, "It's all when I was a child." ”

"When I was a child, I also wanted to know about my husband's business, and I want to know about the past you have experienced." An Xiabai hugged Lu Li's arm tightly and buried himself in his arms.

Lu Li sensitively noticed that something was wrong with her: "Madam, did my mother tell you something else?" ”

He suddenly felt a little uneasy in his heart.

Lu Li's family, in the past, was also one of the best in the capital, his father used to be prominent, and the family was famous for this, and then because of a thought, he made a big mistake, which made the Lu family become the tragic state it is today.

The charges back then were too serious, and they hadn't even been cleared, and Lu Li had never disclosed the relationship between Zhou and Lu Liuer and himself, which was precisely in mind.

He was afraid that after An Xiabai knew about the past, he would alienate himself and move the idea of leaving.

Lu Li's breathing was a little heavy, and she could feel it.

An Xiabai sighed, raised his head and told him solemnly: "I don't care about my husband's past, I only care about my husband's future and future." ”

Halfway through her words, she paused, and continued in another way: "I can't say that, I still care a little bit about things before, but what I care about is not your identity and status, husband, but about when you go through those tribulations, I am not by your side, if I can always be by your side, maybe there will be less pain and discomfort." ”

In her previous life, she didn't know much about Lu Li, most of them heard from the mouths of gossipers, everyone said that Lu Li's journey was not easy, and every time she put herself in her shoes, she would always feel distressed.

If An Xiabai experienced the tragedy of family destruction and death, and changed from a golden prince to a rural villager, she might not be able to stand it.

"Madame, you are so nice." In response, Lu Li lowered his head and dropped a kiss on An Xiabai's cheek.

She is like a beam of light, always able to appear when she is desperate, and illuminate the direction of her past life in time.

The family's tragic past is not over, and his mother and sister have not yet been corrected, Lu Li feels that he is not qualified to stay in the capital and make contributions, and then seek a way to clear the wrongs of the innocent lost clansmen is the right way.

As for An Xiabai and the child, he could only solemnly promise: "When everything is over, I will definitely give you a stable life day and night." ”

The sudden words made An Xiabai slightly stunned, guessing that he was feeling, so she quickly answered.

"No matter what, I believe in my husband."

Early the next morning, Lu Li waited outside the main hall of the palace.

King Li, who came slowly, saw his figure, was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "General Lu is waiting for this king here, is it because he has thought about it?" ”

Lu Li nodded solemnly: "If there is a chance, the subordinate wants to go to the border pass." ”

King Li's joy was almost not hidden, he felt that Lu Li was a talent, so he didn't doubt Lu Li's ability at all: "This morning, the emperor will definitely mention the matter of the border garrison, and he will also ask the courtiers for their opinions, the main battle or peace, presumably you have to argue for a while, General Lu doesn't have to worry, you can think about it for a few more days." ”

"No, you don't." Lu Li shook his head, yesterday's hesitation had turned into clouds and smoke and drifted away today, "The subordinate has already made a decision. ”

I didn't expect him to be so bold, he really picked up a treasure, King Li smiled from ear to ear, while thinking about how much benefit Lu Li would bring to himself if he went to the border pass to lead the troops to fight, and pulled Lu Li into the main hall: "Since General Lu has decided, this king will naturally help you fight for opportunities, if the emperor mentions the border pass this morning, this king will definitely fight." ”

Soon after they entered the palace, the voice of the spy resounded inside and outside the palace: "The emperor has arrived—"

The courtiers bowed, and the emperor walked through the main hall and sat on the throne.

After the secretaries were calmed down, he went straight to the topic: "I want to discuss the border matter with you Aiqing, yesterday the border pass emergency report, saying that the enemy country is stationed at the border pass, it seems to covet our territory, now the border pass people are panicking, the news of the imminent outbreak of war is flying all over the sky, you think, how should we deal with it?" ”

If the enemy attacks directly, it's okay to say, it's a big deal to send troops directly to fight back.

It's a pity that the other party didn't make a move, which means that not only can they not make a big move, but they can only guard in private.

"The border situation is special, the people in the border areas between the two countries have no concept of the national border, and in the long run, the enemy army will increase its movements, but we will not deal with it, I am afraid that we will lose the support of the people and shake the morale of the army." An old minister with pale sideburns stood up and said with a solemn face, "The best way is to catch them off guard before they make a move." ”

Some people advocate war, and naturally some people advocate peace: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that war is not advisable. ”

The Emperor propped his chin and waved his hand to signal him to continue.

The courtiers who heard the victory and said loudly: "Our situation is different from them, a war has just ended here, and it is the time when the army's morale is tired, if we do it with them now for the sake of fighting for a while, not only will it not be profitable, but it will even cost the people and money, I am afraid that it will hurt the country's foundation!" Therefore, Wei Chen suggested that instead of clashing with them head-on, he should send envoys to negotiate with them, and agree to whatever conditions they put forward, as long as they can withdraw the army, everything is easy to say. ”

As soon as these words came out, the court was silent.

Suing for peace has been a disgrace to the state since ancient times, but the officials of the Lord and the peace were so coherent that they could not find a reason to refute it, so everyone remained silent.

"Don't you have any other advice?" The Emperor asked, raising his eyebrows.

Still no one spoke, and just when he had a headache about this matter, Lu Li suddenly stood up.

Because Lu Li is in charge of the Praetorian Guard, his position in the imperial court is quite high, so he also has the corresponding right to speak: "Your Majesty, according to the opinion of Wei Chen, this matter cannot be taken lightly, and the main battle is the best way." ”

The emperor didn't expect that Lu Li had only been in the court for a few days, and he had the idea of asking for battle, and asked puzzledly: "What did General Lu say about this?" ”

Lu Li was neither humble nor arrogant: "The enemy country dares to station troops at the border pass, that is, the war that pinched us has just ended, and they will never dare to ignite the flames of war. ”

There are two in everything, and the emperor doesn't understand this truth.

But now is not the best time to use force.

"I'll think about it again," he pressed his aching forehead and asked Lu Li one last question.

"General Lu, if there is really a war at the border pass, who do you think can take on the big responsibility above the court?"

The emperor asked the key question, when Lu Li came, he thought about how to deal with it, and his expression remained unchanged to report the names of all the generals in the court who could go to the battle, and even his own name was added.

"Do you dare to go?" The emperor said with a surprised face, "General Lu still has a young son in his family, can he bear to leave his family and go to the border?" ”

In front of all the officials in the court, Lu Li smiled faintly and said: "The minister said a long time ago that there is no home without a country, and if the country is in trouble, Lu Li will definitely not refuse." ”

The implication was to tell the emperor that if there was really a war at the border pass, he would definitely go.

The emperor, who had been distraught about the border affairs for several days, finally felt a moment of stability, with Lu Li, at least when the war really started, the court would not be unavailable, which was a good thing.

"Preemptively strike or take the initiative to seek peace, I need time to think about it, after all, war is not a trivial matter, the country concerned is fundamental, I can't be too impulsive." He said to the courtiers, "Wait until I finish thinking about it, and then I will give an explanation to the Aiqing, the border soldiers and the people of Limin." ”
