North Country, Yan County.
North Prince Mansion.
Lu Chen was ceaselessly perusing military documents in his study; with the war impending, his workload had increased—every day, he had to look through thousands of documents.
Not all these documents were for him to process; most were handled by Zhuge Zhongguang, but he had to review them all, for they pertained to military matters. As a ruler with absolute military authority, Lu Chen couldn't neglect his military responsibilities.
At that moment, a maid's voice came from outside the study.
"Prince, Commander Liang requests an audience."
With his gaze fixed on the document in front of him, Lu Chen said, "Enter."
The next moment, Liang Zong pushed the door open and entered.
"Greetings, Prince!"
Without looking up, Lu Chen asked indifferently, "What's the matter?"
Liang Zong replied, "The Crown Princess Consort has returned to Yan County, and she has brought many strong figures with her."
