Retribution Tenfold for Those Who Harm Her

"Prime Minister Lu just mentioned that there might be skilled individuals assisting the Heishui stockaded village, and it is best for me to go," Nanli reiterated, "I shall heed the decree."

Prime Minister Lu's approving gaze fell upon her as he handed the imperial decree to Nanli.

He then added a word of caution, "The Emperor has only dispatched you and your elder brother for this mission. Remember, do not let the Ninth Prince interfere."

Ye Siheng was a brilliant military strategist, and it would have been ideal for him to handle this matter. However, Emperor Muwu deliberately assigned it to General Chu Ye.

Everyone, including Prime Minister Lu and the Dowager, understood the true meaning behind this decision. It was a test.

If Nanli succeeded, she would earn the Emperor's praise. If she failed, the Anyang Marquis Mansion would face punishment and the Emperor's wrath.

Nanli nodded, "I have taken note of that. Thank you, Prime Minister."
