The news that Princess Jiahe was abducted by the Regent of Western Yi quickly spread.

Emperor Ming was furious and summoned the emperor to the palace to scold him: "It's all your fault for not taking good care of Wan'er! If she was sane, how could she disappear?"

"Now we are in the hands of the Western Barbarians. What do you think we should do?"

"At her age, she is so naive that she doesn't know the dangers of the world. And she is so beautiful. Can she be safe?"

"..."

The Regent of Xiyi is cruel and ruthless. Wan'er will definitely not have a good ending if she falls into his hands.

The purest flower of summer has withered.

This is not only a tragedy for a county lady, but also the face of Daxia!

"Royal brother, no matter how miserable Wan'er is, can she be more miserable than when I was in Beidi?" *** knelt on the ground, suppressing all arrogance, and asked miserably.

Emperor Ming's expression softened. "It is because you have suffered that I want Wan'er to suffer again. She is your granddaughter!"

"But she is also the descendant of that man." *** suddenly stood up and smiled strangely.

A flash of fear flashed across Emperor Ming's eyes, but he quickly concealed it.

He turned his back, refusing to look her in the eye, and said in a cold voice with the dignity of an emperor: "Wan'er no longer has any trace of him. Why do you care?"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

*** laughed like crazy.

Emperor Ming frowned in embarrassment and waved his hand.

The trusted eunuch Li Gonggong immediately closed the palace door and drove away the outsiders.

In the huge Zichen Palace, they were the only ones left.

***Laughed and laughed until she was exhausted.

"In fact, my royal brother also minds it, otherwise Meng'er should be conferred the title of princess." *** panted and walked towards Emperor Ming step by step.

Her dear brother.

Forcing him to look her in the eye: "Royal brother, right?"

"Imperial sister, I really love Wan'er." Emperor Ming sighed, "I have to save her."

"Okay! Let's have a big fight with the Western barbarians and rescue Wan'er. But my brother, you have to act quickly. Don't wait until Wan'er becomes the me she used to be..."

*** laughed so hard that her body shook, and there was a look of madness in her eyes and eyebrows.

Like a madman.

Noble madman.

Emperor Ming sighed helplessly: "Okay, I won't delay this time. You go back and wait for my good news!"

"Hahaha……"

After *** left with a crazy laugh, Emperor Ming felt relieved.

Eunuch Li quickly poured a cup of hot tea and handed it over: "Your Majesty, have a cup of tea to quench your thirst."

"Eunuch Li, do you think Wan'er will follow in her footsteps?" Emperor Ming sat down tiredly, pressing his eyebrows.

"If the Western barbarians wanted to kidnap the county lady, they would have spread the word. But there has been no movement, and I think there may be room for negotiation."

The Western Barbarians and Daxia had been fighting for years, and the situation was deadlocked at Xiguan.

Everyone knew what they wanted to discuss - the Xiguan Fortress.

The Western Barbarians wanted to take over the fortress of Xiguan.

Xiguan is not only the western gate of Daxia, but also a transitional zone. As long as Xiguan is taken, trade with Beidi can be opened up.

But Beidi is the eternal enemy of Daxia!

Therefore, for many years, the Shen family army guarded the West Gate and never gave in. They were trying to prevent the Western Barbarians and the Northern Barbarians from joining forces.

When two countries go to war, some win and some lose. If two countries fight against one country, Daxia will be in danger!

Thinking of the Northern Di, Emperor Ming recalled the great humiliation he had suffered in the past, and immediately slammed the table: "We must defend the West Gate, and Wan'er must be saved. Summon the Crown Prince and Shen Lin."

"Your Majesty, today is the first day of the Lunar New Year..." Eunuch Li reminded softly, "I heard that Madam Shen's cloth shop was burned down last night. She is busy dealing with personal matters today. Why don't you..."

"I want to wait, but can Wan'er wait?" Emperor Ming was furious, "Call them here immediately!"

"Old slave obeys!"

----

Night falls. I didn’t get a good rest last night because I stayed up all night to celebrate the New Year, and I have been busy for a long time today.

After dinner, Ye Qinghuan took a bath and rested.

Shen Lin wanted to accompany her.

Unexpectedly, just after he finished washing up, he received an order from the palace to enter the palace immediately.

"It's New Year's Day, what's going on?" For the first time, Shen Lin felt resentful about his official duties.

"Since it's official business, General, just go!" Ye Qinghuan closed his eyes tiredly and murmured softly.

Shen Lin sighed: "Okay, you go to sleep first. I will try to come back early to accompany you."

"It doesn't have to be..."

You don't have to.

She slept soundly even without him.

She slept well that night, and it was not until the sun rose the next day that she realized Shen Lin had not come back that night.

"Madam, today is the second day of the Chinese New Year and it's time to go and pay New Year's greetings. Concubine Yu's gift is ready."

Chunyan and Chunyu were dressing up Ye Qinghuan while reporting matters to her.

Ye Qinghuan was absent-minded.

"Madam, haven't you rested enough? How about sleeping for a while and then going to pay New Year's greetings in the afternoon?"

"Need not."

Ye Qinghuan looked at herself in the mirror.

Her face became rounder and her complexion rosy, but her brows were furrowed, showing a look of worry.

It's not appropriate to pay New Year's greetings like this.

Ye Qinghuan took a deep breath and adjusted his mood. But he couldn't stand laughing at all - it was too fake.

"What's wrong with you, ma'am?" Chunyu asked with concern.

"I'm afraid the general is going to war." Ye Qinghuan said.

Princess Jiahe was held hostage by the Western Barbarians. If she was not rescued, it would be like Daxia giving in. He ignored the safety of the royal women in order to protect himself.

If Daxia sends troops to rescue, Shen Lin, who has been guarding the West Gate for many years, will be the first candidate.

He did not return home all night, which must be because the emperor had already decided to attack the Western Barbarians and was discussing military strategies in the palace.

Chun Yu was stunned: "Isn't that great? The general will no longer be trapped in Shengjing."

Ye Qinghuan was stunned.

Yes, as a general you should guard the border and go on marches and fight.

She should be happy for him.

Moreover, she used to wish that he would stay at the border and never come back!

Now, what's wrong with her?

A trace of reluctance grows from the bottom of my heart and finally entangles my mind.

"If you are reluctant, just follow the general to the border," said Chunyan.

Ye Qinghuan shook his head: "Now is not the time."

"Because the cloth shop was burned down?"

"This is just one of them."

Ye Qinghuan felt even more annoyed.

Bai Zhi is posting notices all over the world looking for her relatives. If the Bai family really comes to Shengjing to look for them and she is not there, wouldn’t they miss out?

She was even more afraid that if she was not around, the Bai family would become Shen Rong's pawns because of Bai Zhi!

"Then let the general go, we'll go later." Chunyu said.

Ye Qinghuan lowered his eyes and sighed softly: "Well. I'll go later."

But, there are not so many futures.

If she were to live her life again, the distant border would be a place she would find difficult to reach.

"Pack up and go to pay New Year's greetings."

"Yes."
