Imperial Study Room.
Lu Lingxiao and Lin Wan'er bowed before the young Emperor clad in a bright yellow dragon robe.
The young Emperor, seated on his chair, said to the two, "General Lu and Miss Lin, you may rise."
Lu Lingxiao assisted Lin Wan'er to her feet.
Afterward, he and Lin Wan'er performed a respectful bow to the Minister of War and General Han, who were accompanying the Emperor.
The two nodded slightly in acknowledgment.
Lu Lingxiao was surprised to see General Han in the Imperial Study Room. After all, they had been deliberating border matters all night at the Beiliang Army Camp, and when he had left, General Han had clearly retired in his tent to rest.
It seemed that after his departure, urgent news must have arrived concerning the border.
Sure enough, as soon as the thought crossed his mind, the young Emperor spoke, "I urgently summoned the two of you to the palace to discuss a matter of great importance. Li Quan."
