Traveling through the Tang Dynasty: The Concubine Goes to War

In the palace of Goguryeo, Han Xuan stood upright, his eyes firm, and faced the Goguryeo king without fear. Despite the threat of death, he still resolutely refused to betray the Tang Dynasty.

The king roared angrily: "Put him back in the cage!" The soldiers responded, dragged Han Xuan away and threw him into the dark cage.

However, Princess Zhaxi's heart was full of admiration and sympathy for Han Xuan, and she decided to risk her life and launch a desperate rescue operation.

At night, she quietly sneaked into the cage, carefully avoiding the eyes and ears of the guards.

When she found where Han Xuan was imprisoned, she was nervous and excited. She quickly opened the door of the cage and pulled Han Xuan out. The two looked at each other silently, and Han Xuan's eyes showed gratitude to Zhaxi.

They quietly moved through the palace corridors, avoiding patrolling soldiers. Every step was fraught with danger, but Princess Zhaxi was undaunted, determined to free Han Xuan.

Finally, they managed to escape from the palace and came to a safe place. Han Xuan looked at Princess Zhaxi with gratitude and respect in his eyes. He knew that without her courage and determination, he would not have been able to escape.

Princess Zhaxi smiled and said, "You are a warrior of the Tang Dynasty and should not be trapped here. I hope you can return to your hometown and serve your country." Han Xuan held her hand tightly and promised, "I will never forget your kindness. One day, I will repay you."

Afterwards, Han Xuan parted ways with Princess Zhaxi and embarked on the journey home. With loyalty to the Tang Dynasty and gratitude to Princess Zhaxi, he was determined to fight for the country and the people.

Han Xuan's figure gradually went away. Princess Zhaxi stood there, staring at the direction he left, with endless regret in her heart. Memories flooded into her mind like a tide. She remembered every bit of her time with Han Xuan. Those good times have now become a pain in her heart that she cannot let go.

She could no longer hesitate, and resolutely rode on the white horse, galloping in the direction Han Xuan left. The white horse was like the wind, her long hair fluttering in the wind, and her eyes revealed determination and resoluteness. She wanted to catch up with Han Xuan, tell him her true feelings, and redeem everything she had lost.

The journey was long, but Princess Zhaxi had only one belief in her heart - to find Han Xuan. She crossed the grasslands and hills, tirelessly chasing him. Every step was filled with longing for Han Xuan and expectations for the future. She believed that as long as she didn't give up, she would be able to catch up with him and rekindle the fire of love between them. Princess Zhaxi kept whipping the horse, anxious. As she hurried on, she looked around, hoping to see Han Xuan.

Finally, she found Han Xuan on a vast grassland. She shouted his name excitedly and waved her arms.

Han Xuan heard the call, stopped, turned around, and saw Princess Zhaxi rushing towards him. He showed a surprised expression on his face.

Princess Zhaxi jumped off her horse, ran to Han Xuan, and said breathlessly: "Han Xuan, I can't let you leave like this. I love you, and I am willing to go to the Central Plains with you."

Han Xuan looked at Princess Zhaxi with emotion. He hugged her tightly and said, "Zhaxi, I like you too. But I already have a wife at home, and I feel guilty about your love." "I don't care. I am willing to follow you even if I am your concubine or even your maid." Zhaxi said affectionately. "Besides, if I rescue you, my father will kill me if he finds out," Zhaxi said worriedly.

After much deliberation, Han Xuan agreed to take Tashi back to the Tang Dynasty. So, Han Xuan and Princess Tashi set out on a journey to the Central Plains together.

On the way back to Zhongyuan, Zhaxi always paid attention to Han Xuan's every move, showing his considerate feelings. When Han Xuan was tired, he would take the initiative to hand him a glass of water; when Han Xuan was hungry, he would silently hand him a piece of dry food. Zhaxi considered every detail carefully.

Han Xuan saw all this and was filled with gratitude. He wanted to express his gratitude to Tashi many times, but felt that those words were too thin. So, he secretly made up his mind that if he had the chance, he must repay Tashi's deep friendship.

Along the way, the relationship between the two became closer and closer. They supported each other and faced the difficulties on the road together. This friendship also became deeper unknowingly.

One day, they passed by a small town and planned to rest for a while. The quaint buildings and lively market in the town attracted their attention, and they strolled through it, feeling the strong atmosphere of life.

Suddenly, a loud noise caught their attention. When they got closer, they saw that an elderly man was arguing with several bullies. The old man's stall was overturned and his belongings were scattered all over the floor.

Seeing this, Han Xuan immediately stepped forward to stop them. With his extraordinary martial arts, he drove the bullies away in a few moves. The old man was grateful and thanked him repeatedly.

Zhaxi looked at Han Xuan's righteous act and couldn't help but admire him more. She secretly vowed that no matter what, she would follow Han Xuan.

Before they knew it, they had returned to the General's Mansion of the Tang Dynasty. Han Xuan brought Princess Zhaxi into the mansion, and everyone looked at them curiously. He introduced Princess Zhaxi to the servants and arranged for her to live in a wing room. Princess Zhaxi was very grateful, and she knew that her life in the Tang Dynasty was about to begin a new chapter.

However, life in the mansion was not as smooth as imagined. Yunxi, who had just returned from outside, stepped into the mansion and saw the exotic beauty next to Han Xuan at a glance. Her beauty was like the stars in the night sky, which made people fall in love with her.

Yunxi felt an indescribable pain in her heart. She bit her lower lip tightly, trying to hide the pain in her heart. However, her eyes could no longer remain calm. It was a deep loss and sadness.

Han Xuan noticed Yunxi's expression, and a trace of guilt flashed through his heart. He knew that bringing this exotic beauty back might make Yunxi sad, but he didn't know how to explain it.

Yunxi turned around and left the hall silently. Her steps seemed a little heavy, as if she was carrying the weight of the whole world. Every step was filled with endless pain, and Han Xuan could only watch her leaving silently, his heart filled with helplessness.

After settling Zhaxi, Han Xuan returned to the room and saw Yunxi sitting in a chair in a depressed mood.

"Yunxi, I've been away from the general's mansion for such a long time, don't you miss me? Why did you leave after seeing me? Is it because you brought back Zhaxi? Let me explain..." So Han Xuan told Yunxi about his experience in Goguryeo. He then said: "She risked her life to save me, and was willing to give up the glory and wealth of a princess in order to come to the Central Plains. How can I be ungrateful?" "Why don't you just say that she gave up the glory and wealth of a princess because she fell in love with you." Yunxi said angrily. The woman's intuition made Yunxi, who had traveled through time, feel particularly sad.

Han Xuan and Yunxi sat opposite each other, looking solemn. Han Xuan promised Yunxi earnestly that once he cleared the wrongs of being framed, he would find a suitable opportunity to send the princess back safely. Yunxi nodded slightly, with trust in him in her eyes.

They discussed the results of the investigation in detail, with the table covered with dense clues and evidence. Han Xuan pointed out some of the key information and analyzed it clearly, while Yunxi raised his own opinions and questions from time to time. The two people's thoughts constantly collided in the communication, gradually outlining the full picture of the incident.

As the discussion deepened, they became more and more certain about the truth. Han Xuan's eyes flashed with determination, and he secretly made up his mind to clear his grievances and live up to the expectations of Yunxi and the princess.

Yunxi told Han Xuan that during his absence, she secretly investigated the General's Mansion and keenly noticed that Gao's family was behaving strangely. He was sneaky and had frequent contact with the Prime Minister, which aroused Yunxi's high suspicion. Yunxi discovered that Gao's family and the Prime Minister seemed to be planning a conspiracy to frame Han Xuan and seize his military power.

In the secret room of the general's mansion, Yunxi accidentally overheard the secret conversation between the senior officials and the prime minister. They were whispering about how to frame Han Xuan, make him lose the emperor's trust, and then deprive him of his military power. Yunxi was shocked, and he understood that this was a conspiracy related to the safety of the country.

Yunxi decided to quietly collect evidence to expose the conspiracy of Gaojia and the prime minister. She carefully followed Gaojia and observed his every contact with the prime minister, not letting go of any clues. After a period of hard work, Yunxi finally got solid evidence.

However, it is not easy to present the evidence to the emperor. Yunxi must be careful to avoid putting herself in danger. She thinks about the best course of action and is determined to protect the country and Han Xuan. So she has been waiting for Han Xuan to return as soon as possible to expose the conspiracy of the prime minister and his party.

When Han Xuan heard this, a trace of astonishment flashed in his eyes. He did not expect that such a sinister thing would happen during his absence. He held Yunxi's hand tightly, grateful for her wisdom and courage.

"Yunxi, thank you. With your help, we will definitely be able to uncover this conspiracy."

In the following days, Han Xuan and Yun Xi secretly planned a plan to deal with the high-ranking family and the prime minister. They used wisdom and strategy to collect more evidence step by step, while being careful not to alert the enemy.

In the magnificent palace, Han Xuan and Yun Xi stood side by side, their expressions serious and determined. They presented all the evidence they had collected to the emperor and reported the prime minister's crimes in detail. The emperor flipped through the evidence, his face gradually became gloomy, and he was furious. His eyes revealed disappointment and anger, his hands were clenched, and veins bulged.

The emperor slammed the table and roared, "How dare the prime minister be so audacious!" The voice echoed in the palace, making people's hearts palpitate. Han Xuan and Yunxi stood with their heads down, secretly relieved in their hearts, they knew that the emperor's anger meant that justice would be served.

The atmosphere in the palace was extremely tense. Everyone held their breath and dared not speak. The emperor's anger was like a powerful storm, sweeping the entire palace. "Pass on my order. Han Xuan will immediately lead the imperial guards to search the prime minister's residence and put the prime minister in jail. The rest of his followers will be arrested together. The high-ranking officials who betray their masters will be killed without mercy if captured." The emperor said with a face full of anger but dignity. After a pause, the emperor said to Yun Xi slowly: "Yun Xi, you stay. I have something to tell you." Yun Xi looked at the emperor in surprise, not knowing how to answer. She looked at Han Xuan next to her. "I obey your order." Han Xuan was a little reluctant but tactfully withdrew.

The emperor sat on the dragon throne, his eyes revealing a hint of worry. After Han Xuan left, the emperor looked straight at Yunxi, silently expressing his concern for her.

"Yunxi, do you know how much I miss you?" The emperor said softly, his voice full of tenderness and attachment, "Your every frown and smile are deeply imprinted in my heart. I often think, how great it would be if you could accompany me."

The emperor sighed slightly and continued, "The prince is indeed very cute. His intelligence makes me feel very happy. But he also needs a mother's care and love. I really hope that you can fulfill your mother's responsibilities and give him warmth and care."

A trace of determination flashed in the emperor's eyes. "Over the years, in order to fulfill your desire for freedom and to forget you, I have changed concubines around me one after another. But I always hope that you can come back. No matter how long it takes, I will wait. Because in my heart, you are irreplaceable." He looked at Yunxi affectionately and said.

Hearing the emperor's true feelings, Yunxi was at a loss. She was originally a time traveler from the modern era, and she had once deeply loved the emperor. But...but...she is now the general's wife. "How is the prince?" After holding it in for a long time, Yunxi uttered these words. When she first left the palace, she often missed the prince and worried about whether he was living well. She also regretted leaving the prince like this. After all, he was so young and didn't remember what his mother was like. But as time passed after leaving the palace, and she fought with Han Xuan in the frontier for so many years, and returned to the capital to face all kinds of people and things, she seemed to gradually forget the prince. At this moment. The cute and adorable appearance of the prince when he was a child appeared in Yunxi's mind again.

Yunxi knelt before the emperor and earnestly requested that the emperor allow her to visit the prince. Her eyes were firm and anxious, her voice was gentle and sincere, and her hands were trembling slightly, as if she could no longer suppress her worries.

The emperor looked at Yunxi, a trace of thought flashed in his eyes. He nodded slightly and said slowly: "Well, you can go see the prince."

After Yunxi thanked him, she stood up and left, her steps seemed a little anxious. She was worried about the safety of the prince and hoped to see him as soon as possible. The emperor looked at her leaving back and sighed thoughtfully.

Led by the palace maid, Yunxi went to the East Palace.

Yunxi was on her way to the prince's bedroom, with a lot of thoughts in her mind. Suddenly, her eyes were attracted by a familiar figure. It was Lian'er. After the palace maid introduced her, she learned that her former maidservant had become the emperor's concubine, Lian Zhaoyi.

Lian'er was wearing a gorgeous palace dress, with a beautiful face and a noble temperament in her every move. When she saw Yunxi, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but then she showed a bitter smile.

Yunxi looked at Lian'er, with mixed emotions in her heart. She used to be as close to Lian'er as a sister, but now their statuses were different. Lian'er became the emperor's concubine, while she herself became the general's wife. Fate really played tricks on people.

Yunxi walked forward and saluted Lian'er. Their eyes met, and they could read the memories of the past and the alienation of the present in each other's eyes.

Lian Er said softly: "Miss, long time no see."

Yunxi smiled and replied: "Yes, long time no see. I didn't expect that you have become the Lotus Consort now."

Lian Er smiled, with a hint of emotion in her tone: "Fate plays tricks on people, who could have thought of it?"

Yunxi looked at Lian'er and couldn't help but feel happy for her. Lian'er was now favored by the emperor and had a high status. But at the same time, she also felt a little lost. The relationship between them could never go back to the way it was before.

Yunxi said sadly: "As long as you are doing well, that's good."

Lian Er nodded gently and said, "You too, take good care of yourself."

After a brief greeting, they said goodbye to each other and continued to walk in their respective directions. Yunxi looked at Lian'er's departing back and silently blessed her in her heart.
