Chapter 1241: Chapter 1238 Good News
The emperor, who had been in awful spirits these past days, burst into laughter upon seeing this letter.
“My dear officials, such joyous news naturally calls for shared happiness.”
The reporter hurriedly read the news from the war report.
The gist of it was that the supplies had been successfully delivered, the soldiers in the Northern Region had successfully extricated themselves from their predicament, and had successfully reclaimed one city knowing that the Xiongnu had aggressively captured two cities at the onset.

Now the recapturing of one city was indeed good news.
After hearing about Chu Heng’s stealthy strategies, Duke Zheng’s face looked extremely displeased. A few officials by his side exchanged glances and quietly asked, “Prince of the State, this…”
In the past, they had wanted to win Chu Heng over, but he remained impervious. The strength he had shown now, however, could be said to slap all those previous rumors in the capital right across the face.
The lost supplies and such were completely fabricated. Not only had the food supplies not been lost, but it even led to the exposure of spies within Great Chu Country, killing several birds with one stone. The uglier those who had belittled him looked now, the more they knew the true facts.
Especially since Emperor Xuanming grandly praised him in court as steady, capable of handling great responsibilities, and talented, among other things.
After this was spread outside the palace, those who had previously mocked the Chu family now felt somewhat complex emotions.
The young Lord Chu, though young, was indeed quite capable.
This was the thought of everyone whose mind was still clear.
When the news reached the Chu residence, which typically maintained a cautious, low-profile, and calm atmosphere, the atmosphere heated up as well.
Su Mei swiftly entered the room to report this good news to Ye Muyu.
“Lady, Master is unharmed, and now in the capital everyone is praising Master as intelligent and possessing the talent of a general,” Su Mei, usually calm, couldn’t help but show a proud emotion when mentioning Chu Heng.
Ye Muyu, having lost weight due to morning sickness, looked up when she heard the news, her dark eyes instantly brightening: “Really?”
“Lady, I personally went out to gather this information. There’s absolutely no mistake,” Su Mei, seeing that her lady’s health was deteriorating these past days, felt heartache but was helpless.
Now, knowing this good news, she couldn’t wait to run back to make her lady feel better.
“Master had long made preparations for such a situation, arranging for his deputy to escort the supplies to the Northern Region. This war report is all good news, apparently reclaiming one city,” she announced.
Ye Muyu attentively listened to the news Su Mei had gathered.
Hearing that it was Liu Ruying, the son of Marquis Liu Bo and the deputy who Chu Heng had initially left behind, who delivered the supplies to the Northern Region, Ye Muyu blinked, realizing she had not guessed wrong; Ah Heng had been prepared from the start.
The more she listened, the more satisfied she became: “The secret manoeuvre was used splendidly.”
“Indeed, and who else but Master could execute such a plan,” Chun Xing blurted out mindlessly on the side.
Ye Muyu laughed heartily at this, overjoyed.
“Lady, does that mean Master can come back now?” Chun Xing asked.
Considering that Chu Heng was in charge of escorting the supplies and now that the supplies were delivered, he should indeed be returning.
Ye Muyu pulled the blanket a bit lower on her stomach: “That depends on whether the Emperor still has tasks for him.”
“The Emperor is very pleased, but, there have been issues with the batch of supplies from Minister Fu, and the Ministry of Punishments’ prison has been busy lately.”
“Is there any news about Ah Heng?” Ye Muyu hadn’t forgotten the earlier rumors of Chu Heng’s disappearance. She hadn’t had nightmares and felt he was alright, but without concrete news, she still couldn’t be at ease.
As for the recent war report from the Northern Region, she was proud of Chu Heng.
