A few days later, Cao Gou went to visit Han Shizhong.

Han Shizhong hurriedly went out to welcome him with his attendants.

But after looking around, Cao Gou didn't see the person he was looking for, so he couldn't help but ask, "Lord Han, I heard that you have a talented wife who is quick-witted and has contributed many ingenious strategies in your army. Why doesn't she come out to see me?"

Han Shizhong said anxiously, "Your Majesty, the lady has recently gone home to visit her family, so she is not in the mansion..."

Could it be that she is deliberately avoiding me?

I dare not. It is just a coincidence that she is not in the mansion. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!

Han Shizhong felt bitter in his heart. These days, there have been rumors in the court that Your Majesty intends to issue an order for widows to remarry. Moreover, my colleagues have said that Your Majesty often visits the homes of his officials and engages in conversation with beautiful family members. My wife, Hongyu, is both talented and beautiful, and now she has caught the eye of the one in charge. I can't help but worry!

It's really unfortunate. Since that's the case, then I won't stay any longer. Let's return to the palace!

Farewell, Your Majesty!

At that moment, Chen Gonggong hurriedly ran over.

Your Majesty, there is urgent news!

What's the matter?

A messenger has arrived from the north. Ministers Huang and Wang are waiting for you. It is said to be related to the Two Sages...

The Two Sages!

Quick, let's return to the palace!
