Chapter 800: Green With Envy

After recovering from their shock, the court officials immediately stopped persuading the Emperor to expand the harem and produce more heirs and started reporting good news from the frontier.

Shortly after arriving at the frontier, the troops led by the Grand Duke engaged in a large-scale clash with Danjue.

Their first battle ended in victory, and the news was rapidly delivered to the imperial capital.

The court officials began to praise the Grand Duke's ability as a military commander.

Those who held positions in the court were all as shrewd as snakes.

The Grand Duke Family's influence had been on the rise lately. 

First, the Grand Duke led an army into battle with Danjue, and then, the Empress became pregnant with the Emperor's child.

If the Grand Duke were to capture Danjue in one fell swoop, his family's status would become even more prominent.
