Heartstrings Resonance: The Beloved Princess of the Female Power

Yongle hugged Mu Yunxi tightly, her eyes filled with reluctance and longing. She said softly, "Tomorrow morning, you and I will be separated again. Promise me that you will come back safely!" As soon as she finished speaking, a tear slid from the corner of her eye and dripped onto Mu Yunxi's shoulder.

Mu Yunxi gently comforted her: "Ayin, do you know why I have to go there in person?"

Yongle nodded, his voice trembling slightly: "I know! You want to move up a level, and you want to use your achievements to make those people shut up. But Yunxi, I don't want you to take risks like this, to strive for it..."

Mu Yunxi gently stroked Yongle's hair, her eyes firm and affectionate: "Ayin, I want to be together forever! I hope we are indestructible, do you understand?"

Yongle looked at her silently, tears welling up in her eyes again, but she didn't say anything.

Seeing this, Mu Yunxi said softly, "It's late, can you go to sleep?"

Yongle remembered that Mu Yunxi would be leaving early tomorrow morning, so he nodded obediently. After they lay down, Yongle found that Mu Yunxi was just holding her quietly and falling asleep, and a trace of shame and anger surged in his heart.

She frowned slightly and said softly, "You haven't seen me for two months, don't you miss me at all?"

Mu Yunxi heard her angry tone and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"You just held me in your arms as I slept last night. You are leaving tomorrow. The journey is long and I don't know how long it will take for us to see each other again. Yet you don't even show any expression!" As Yongle spoke, tears welled up in his eyes and his heart was filled with grievance and unwillingness.

Mu Yunxi immediately understood what she meant when she heard it. She quickly hugged her tightly and said gently, "It's not that I don't want to, but your mother is not in good health right now, and I'm afraid you will be unhappy about it."

After hearing this, Yongle snorted softly and said angrily, "The Queen Mother's illness is not something that happened overnight. This does not conflict with the intimacy between us. On the contrary, at this time, you should love and comfort me more." After she finished speaking, Mu Yunxi could feel the temperature on her face rising rapidly and becoming hot.

Seeing that Mu Yunxi was just looking at her quietly without any action, Yongle felt annoyed, but still suppressed her shyness and continued, "Xi, I think..." Mu Yunxi looked at her with eyes moving and her voice was gentle, as if to hook her heart and soul away.

In fact, Mu Yunxi was not unwilling to take action, but at this moment, she seemed to have lost her soul and was completely mesmerized by Yongle. Yongle had never taken the initiative like this before, and Mu Yunxi was so fascinated by him that she forgot to react.

Yongle saw that Mu Yunxi was still staring at her blankly, and she couldn't help feeling ashamed and angry. She suddenly tore off Mu Yunxi's inner clothes, put her hand inside the clothes, and leaned closer to Mu Yunxi.

Mu Yunxi was finally awakened by her series of actions and came to her senses. She stretched out her hands and tightly embraced Yongle's waist, passionately responding to her kiss. As their lips and tongues intertwined, she gently undid Yongle's clothes and gently caressed her smooth and delicate skin. Feeling Yongle's passion, Mu Yunxi turned over and instantly took the initiative, gently pressing Yongle under her. Her hands kept wandering over Yongle's body, enjoying this intimacy to the fullest. After Yongle softly moaned, the two of them ended this brief but charming moment.

It was still dark, the world shrouded in darkness, but Mu Yunxi had already risen and resolutely left the Princess's residence. She chose this moment to leave because she feared she would be reluctant to leave, afraid of facing the emotional entanglement of parting. In fact, Yongle had already woken up when Mu Yunxi gently stood up. She understood Mu Yunxi's reasons and her inner struggle and reluctance. So, she chose to remain silent and did not try to stop Mu Yunxi's departure. She was also afraid that if she spoke, she would also be trapped in the emotions that would be difficult to let go.

As the sky gradually brightened, a faint white hue appeared in the air. Mu Yunxi, holding her token, walked out of the city gate alone and arrived in the suburbs. As soon as she dismounted, she saw a group of figures emerging from the woods. Mu Yunxi secretly counted them—around fifty. She was a little surprised by their appearance, but she didn't show it.

When everyone saw that she was alone, they were a little surprised. After all, she was a woman and she didn't even have a female guard with her.

At this moment, a middle-aged man who looked like the leader stepped forward, saluted, and said, "Greetings, Lord Mu. I am Dark Eagle of the Anbu." Mu Yunxi quickly and politely responded, "So you are the Second Captain of the Anbu. My humble servant!" Before setting off, she had carefully reviewed the list of the accompanying personnel sent by Emperor Qing Zhao and was familiar with everyone's identity. The accompanying team included two military commanders, three civil officials, and two attendants each. The rest were members of the Anbu. As for her... she was alone, carrying only a simple bag and her shoulder bag.

Among the military commanders was Jin Rongsheng's eldest son, Jin Yubin, and another was a third-rank lieutenant general named Wang Wei. The personnel information provided by Emperor Qing Zhao stated that this man was Wang Xiangxiang's nephew. Several people also stepped forward to greet him. The first to speak was an older civil servant. He looked serious, but his eyes revealed a hint of gentleness. "I am Chen Jie, the Right Deputy Chief Censor of the Metropolitan Censorate. Master Xiaomu, you can call me Uncle Chen during this trip."

Mu Yunxi smiled and nodded, responding, "Okay!" Then, she returned a salute to Chen Jie to show her respect for him.

The other official was Luo En, about the same age as Chen Jie. He had a kind face and a wise, penetrating gaze. He nodded slightly and greeted Mu Yunxi. The final official, a slightly younger one named Lu Shanqi, had a focused expression, exuding a calm and reliable air. All three of them were important figures in the imperial court, accompanying Mu Yunxi on this mission.

Emperor Qing Zhao ordered them all to obey the young woman's orders, with the exception of Wang Wei. Wang Xiangxiang had warned him that Mu Yunxi was no ordinary woman, and that he should obey orders and not look down on her. He had no prejudice against Mu Yunxi, who was supported by his uncle and therefore expected to obey him. The others, however, were reluctant, but obliged to obey the emperor's orders. This was especially true for Kim Woo-bin, whose family connections gave him a certain amount of pride.

Mu Yunxi looked at the thirty-five members of the Anbu and asked An Ying, "Are they moving forward in the dark or in the open?"

"It's up to you, sir!" replied Dark Eagle.

Mu Yunxi knew that Emperor Qing Zhao had entrusted her with the task of arranging the troops, so she didn't refuse. After a moment's thought, she made the arrangements: "Since we need to hurry, we will split into three teams. General Jin and I will lead Lord Chen and ten members of the Anbu. Captain Ying will lead fifteen members of the Anbu, along with Lord Luo and Lord Chen. Lieutenant General Wang will follow closely behind with the remaining ten. This way, we can speed up the journey while ensuring safety."

No one raised any objections after hearing this. After all, Mu Yunxi's arrangements were reasonable, and with the escort of an expert from the Anbu, there shouldn't be much danger.

Mu Yunxi continued, "One more thing. We must keep a low profile this time and avoid causing unnecessary trouble. If we encounter the enemy, do not fight to the death and disengage as quickly as possible. Do you understand?"

"Understood!" everyone replied in unison.

Mu Yunxi nodded, then looked at Dark Eagle: "Captain Eagle, you are responsible for arranging the personnel of the Anbu and ensuring that they can respond to emergencies at any time."

"Yes!" Dark Eagle replied.

Mu Yunxi continued, "Each team should maintain a distance of 100 meters to facilitate support."

After saying that, he looked at a few people and asked, "Do you have anything to add?"

Several people shook their heads, indicating no, but Dark Eagle said, "Master Mu must walk in the middle!"

Mu Yunxi shook her head. "I'll go ahead and control the pace. You just follow me." Then she looked at the two older adults and said, "If you can't hold on any longer, just tell me. Don't try to hold on."

Chen Jie and Luo En were not too arrogant. Chen Jie said, "Don't worry, Master Xiao Mu. Although Master Luo and I are already forty years old, we are still strong and healthy. Master Xiao Mu, please go ahead."

Luo En also said: "Although Lord Chen and I are civil servants, we have both mastered the six arts of a gentleman."

Hearing what they said, Mu Yunxi said no more and said loudly to everyone, "Well, everyone, get ready to go! I hope we can successfully complete the mission and return safely."

After saying that, Mu Yunxi led a team to set off first, and the others followed.

They headed west. Since Zhao State had already occupied three cities in Youdu, they decided to first head to Biqing City, currently occupied by Zhao State. From there, they would head right, bypassing other cities and ultimately reach Pro City. This route would not only avoid possible battle areas, but also save time and increase operational efficiency.

After in-depth discussions with Emperor Qing Zhao, they unanimously agreed that this route was the fastest and safest option. Although the two sides were now officially at war, they still had to be wary of Youdu's insidious tactics, especially Gu.

Zhao State's victory was entirely due to the crossbow, a weapon that caught the Youdu army off guard and secured victory.

However, on the third day after they left, Mu Cheng led a team into the capital, including Baili Zhong and an old woman.

In the empress's bedroom, after paying his respects to Emperor Qingzhao and Yongle, Mu Cheng began to introduce them: "Your Majesty, this is Doctor Baili Zhong, and this is Doctor Baili's grandmother."

Emperor Qing Zhao didn't have time to care about why Mu Cheng brought Baili Zhong's grandmother into the palace. All his attention was focused on Baili Zhong. He said solemnly, "If you can save the queen, I can grant your Baili family a condition."

However, Baili Zhong waved his hand and said firmly, "Your Majesty, there is no need to do this. This humble servant's trip has nothing to do with the Baili family."
