Traveling through the Tang Dynasty: The Concubine Goes to War

Yunxi helped Ye Ling'er back to Xiuzhen Palace and carefully examined her wound. She asked Xiaocui to get some hot water, help Ye Ling'er change her bloodstained dress, and wipe the blood stains near the wound with warm water.

After doing all this, she told Xiao Cui to take good care of Ye Ling'er, and then left. Just as she reached the palace gate, Xiao Cui followed her out. She took a few quick steps and rushed in front of Yunxi, kneeling on the ground with a plop, saying, "Mrs. Yang is kind and generous, and has helped my master without holding grudges. Please accept my greetings!"

Yunxi looked at Xiao Cui on the ground and guessed that she probably didn't know that she and Ye Ling'er were twin sisters who had been separated for many years.

So she said calmly: "Get up, no need to thank me, we both live in the Tang Dynasty harem, your master and I look alike because of our relationship."

After Yunxi finished speaking, he walked towards the palace gate.

Yunxi returned to her own residence outside the palace, feeling confused. She didn't know whether it was right or wrong to plead for Ye Ling'er in front of the emperor today.

After all, Ye Ling'er had framed her many times before, and even wanted to kill her and Han Xuan. She wished that the emperor would punish her, but when the emperor really punished her, she still felt a little bit reluctant to see Ye Ling'er humiliating herself like this.

Yunxi sat in front of the window, looking at the night outside, feeling very upset. She thought of everything that happened in the palace today, Ye Ling'er's miserable condition, Xiao Cui's gratitude, and the emperor's majesty... She didn't know if she had made the right decision.

At this moment, there was a slight sound of footsteps outside the door. Yunxi turned around and saw Han Xuan walking in. He looked at Yunxi with concern in his eyes.

"Why are you here?" Yunxi asked.

"I'm worried about you." Han Xuan walked to Yunxi and gently held her hand. "I heard about what happened today. You did a great job."

Yunxi shook her head slightly, "I don't know if this is right or not. Ye Ling'er..."

"Don't think too much." Han Xuan interrupted Yunxi, "Everyone can see your kindness and tolerance. This is not your fault. As for Ye Ling'er, she brought this upon herself. She can't blame anyone else."

Yunxi felt a little relieved after hearing Han Xuan's words. She looked at Han Xuan with a touch of emotion in her eyes.

"Thank you, Han Xuan." Yunxi said softly.

Han Xuan smiled and hugged Yunxi in his arms, "Silly boy, why are you so polite to me? No matter what happens, I will always be by your side."

Yunxi snuggled in Han Xuan's arms, feeling his warmth. She knew that with Han Xuan by her side, she would not feel helpless and lonely.

"Han Xuan, when will you lead your troops to war?" Yunxi asked softly, with deep worry in her eyes.

Han Xuan smiled slightly and answered firmly, "The army has been assembled and we are just waiting to set off on a certain day. I came here tonight to see if you have returned home and to say goodbye to you."

Yunxi knew the cruelty and ruthlessness of war, and couldn't help but sighed with worry: "Han Xuan, after this separation, I really don't know when we can meet again."

Han Xuan held Yunxi's hand tightly and comforted her gently: "Yunxi, don't worry. Believe me, I will return safely."

Yunxi nodded silently, but the scene of Han Xuan bravely killing the enemy on the battlefield many years ago appeared in her mind. Those thrilling scenes made her feel even more depressed.

However, looking at the man she loved deeply, Yunxi still tried to force a smile to show her support and trust.

The two of them sat together, embracing each other, quietly savoring this rare peaceful moment. Outside the window, the bright moon hung high in the night sky like a silver plate, casting a cool glow that illuminated the entire courtyard. In this quiet and beautiful atmosphere, they seemed to have forgotten the impending separation and the world of war.

You must take care of yourself in the years ahead." Yunxi looked at Han Xuan affectionately with tears in her eyes, her eyes filled with endless attachment and reluctance, as if she wanted to deeply imprint the person in front of her in the deepest part of her heart.

"I will. When I return victorious, we will never be separated again." Han Xuan responded in a low voice. He leaned down and kissed Yunxi's forehead gently. This kiss was full of his deep love and commitment to her, and also conveyed his firm belief deep in his heart.

The night was deep, the moonlight fell like water in front of the window, and the whole world was shrouded in silence. Although both of them were reluctant to leave, the time of separation was inevitably coming.

"Rest early." Han Xuan stood up, his voice a little low. He walked to the door silently, his steps seemed a little heavy. However, at the moment of stepping out of the door, he couldn't help but turn back, his eyes resting on Yunxi again.

Yunxi lay quietly on the bed, her tears already soaking the pillow. She tossed and turned, her mind was full of thoughts, and she couldn't fall asleep. Every memory and every word reappeared in her mind, making her feel even more depressed.

Han Xuan, on the other side, was also sitting alone in his room. The candlelight on the table flickered, illuminating his slightly haggard face. He held a book in his hand, but his mind was not on it at all. At this moment, he only had endless thoughts about his lover far away.

Time passed quietly, and the night was endless. Although they were in different places, they shared the pain and suffering of separation. In this quiet night, only the deep affection shone like a bright star...

The next morning, Yunxi got up early, had breakfast, and went out and got on the carriage...

When the carriage stopped steadily in front of the gate of Yang Mansion in the east of the city, the guards had already gone in to pass the message.

When Yunxi entered the hall, she saw her father and mother already waiting there, as well as Ye Ling'er's (Yang Mengxi) adoptive parents.

"Dad, Mom..." Yunxi called affectionately. After all, they were the original owner's parents, and they had been in frequent contact recently, so they had some feelings for each other.

After Yunxi greeted everyone, he talked about Ye Ling'er.

Yang's father had a serious look on his face, while Yang's mother looked worried, and Ye Ling'er's adoptive parents were even more anxious.

"We already knew about this. It's not your or Han Xuan's fault. She brought this upon herself." Father Yang said in a low and powerful voice.

"Xi'er, she is your sister after all. Now she has ended up like this, you must take care of her!" Yang's mother said with sobs. Yunxi could understand that children are the apple of their mother's eye. Yang Mengxi had been separated for many years, and Yang's mother felt full of guilt towards her daughter...

"Miss Yang, you must save our Ling'er! Because she is your sister..." Father Ye knelt on the ground.

Mother Ye burst into tears: "My...poor...Ling'er..."

Yunxi looked at them, not knowing what to do for a moment. Although she had prepared herself mentally when she came, she was speechless when she really faced them...
