Lu Tingchen stared at her blankly.

When he finally came to his senses, he abruptly tossed his silver spear aside, dashed forward, and pulled her off her horse and into his arms.

“Why are you here, you little brat?” He was known as the iron-willed general among his soldiers, but at this moment, he found himself choking up.

Caught off guard by the sudden tug, Lu Liangwei bumped her head on his hard armor.

The impact dazed her for a bit, and just when she was about to speak, Long Yang came riding up to them.
“Lu Tingchen!”

Hearing his voice, Lu Tingchen immediately collected his swirling thoughts.
Ending his brief catch-up with Lu Liangwei, he hastily released his hold on her and dropped to one knee.
“Your Majesty.”

Long Yang got off his horse and pulled Lu Liangwei over so that she stood beside him.
When he saw the red mark on her forehead, he frowned.

He massaged the spot for her until the redness faded, then stepped forward and helped Lu Tingchen up.

“Thank you for your hard work all this time.”

Lu Tingchen was exhilarated.
“I was only doing my job, Your Majesty.” He looked at Lu Liangwei with undisguisable joy in his eyes, and remembering something, performed a fist and palm salute to them.
“I haven’t congratulated both of you on the birth of your children.”

Long Yang’s stern face could not help breaking into a smile.
“Congratulations to you on becoming an uncle too.”

Lu Tingchen’s steely countenance finally melted into a sincere smile.
He instinctively reached out to pat Weiwei’s head, but a glance at the Emperor prompted him to stifle the urge and move his hand to stroke his nose instead.
“Let’s have tea in the tent.”

As he led the way, he caught sight of a certain female guard, and his dark eyes narrowed.

After they entered the main tent, Lu Tingchen’s personal guard immediately brought them tea.

“Your Majesty, Your Highness, I’m afraid you’ll have to put up with our low-quality tea for the time being.” Lu Tingchen took the tea from the guard and served it to Long Yang and Lu Liangwei.

Once the guard was gone, Lu Liangwei whined, “We’re family, Big Bro.
Why are you being so formal?”

Long Yang nodded in agreement.
“We’re family, so let’s just be comfortable around each other.”

Hearing this, Lu Tingchen loosened up and sat down not far from them.
“Did you come from the Yan Kingdom?”

Lu Liangwei was not surprised that he knew.

Since Minister Lin had come to the frontier in the Emperor’s name, her parents and brother must have learned that the Emperor had gone to the Yan Kingdom.
In fact, Minister Lin must have informed them of the situation the moment he arrived so they could help to shield the truth.
