The queen is sober in the world, and she is winning every step of the palace fight.

"If you have anything important to say, please tell me."

The emperor still felt a little nostalgic for the tenderness he had just experienced.

But Fei Wan straightened his expression and walked back to the imperial desk. The lingering look in his eyes disappeared, and was filled with joy in an instant.

She bowed her head in a dignified manner and said in a clear voice, "The great victory in Ningcheng is a source of pride. Your Majesty's prestige extends far and wide, and your command over the world is unparalleled. It is only through the soldiers of Daliang that such achievements have been made possible. Long live Your Majesty! I respectfully wish Your Majesty an everlasting rule and a legacy of virtue for generations to come!"

Xiao Yu was slightly stunned.

I didn’t expect that what Fei Wan meant by “very important words” was actually this.

He thought that she wanted to express her gratitude for the promotion, or talk about Zhishu's pregnancy, or talk about the Yu family or Yu Gengyi.

He had already heard a lot of congratulations from the palace and ministers outside the palace when the victory news came. In addition, he had already known about the victory before, so his ecstasy had long faded.

But after Fei Wan's affectionate words, she suddenly did this, which surprised him.

Unexpectedly, she was not only concerned about her own affairs, but also about state affairs and him.

In addition to the surprise, layers of joy came over me.

Fei Wan is the person who is always by his side, adoring him and caring about him.

Her congratulations were more intimate than others.

"Zhao Qing, please stand up."

He stood up, smiling, and accepted Fei Wan's congratulations.

His eyes were full of vigor and vitality.

He stretched out his hand again to signal Fei Wan to come to his side. This time, he did not hold her hand tenderly, but took her hand and led her directly into the side hall on the west side, and came to the floor-standing screen with a golden dragon soaring in the clouds.

"This is Lemon City!"

He pointed to a huge map of mountains and rivers on the wall, and a small dot in the northwest told Fei Wan the location of the great victory.

He stretched out his hand again and pointed out an area in the north of Daliang's territory, which currently belonged to the northern ally Qu State.

"When Taizu founded the country, these seven prefectures belonged to our Daliang. In Taizu's last years, the south was in turmoil, and the government was unstable, so the seven prefectures were taken by Beiqu. We later tried to recover the lost territory, but treacherous ministers were in power, and we were unsuccessful. In the end, we had no choice but to negotiate peace and form an alliance with Beiqu, giving the seven prefectures to Beiqu for a hundred years. Calculating the time, the end of the hundred-year agreement is almost here."

A sharp look flashed across Xiao Yu's young face, and his eyes suddenly deepened.

"During my reign, I will definitely take these seven states back!"

Fei Wan looked at him softly, "Your Majesty will definitely be able to do it."

"Yes, I can definitely do it! If Beiqu dares to break the agreement and refuse to return the Seven States, I will let them know what the unbreakable majesty of heaven means!"

Fei Wan tightened her grip on the emperor's arm slightly, indicating that she shared his excitement.

"Your Majesty is a man of genius. If they dare to challenge His Majesty, with just one command, our Daliang soldiers will brave fire and water for you. We will march north to destroy their nation and incorporate their territory into our Daliang territory!"

Xiao Yu was stunned again.

He just wanted to take back the Seven States by force and crush Beiqu. But the little beauty beside him had such a big appetite that she wanted to annex the entire country...

Besides feeling interesting, he also felt a bit of anticipation.

Annex Beiqu.

Is it really possible?

If he could do that, his achievements would be no less than those of Taizu.

People in later generations will surely regard him as a great leader and an emperor of all ages!

For a moment, Xiao Yu was boiling with excitement.

He looked at Fei Wan with a strange look in his eyes: "Zhao Qing, do you really think I can do this?"

Fei Wan looked at him very seriously.

Nodding vigorously, "I think Your Majesty can do it."

"You just trust me like that?"

"Your Majesty is my husband, the god who saved me from danger and gave me a new life. Of course I believe you! Moreover, I am not speaking nonsense without reason. I have a basis for my words."

Xiao Yu smiled at her earnest defense. "What's the basis?"

"Today, I was attacked in the streets. The assassin, with his subtlety and viciousness, was cunning and vicious. However, the entire ceremonial procession was only slightly disorganized before immediately regaining its composure. Not to mention the valiant Imperial Guards and the city defense soldiers, who immediately pursued and captured the enemy, even the ordinary palace servants remained calm and orderly.

Is there such a magnanimous and disciplined demeanor in Beiqu? This is all because of your Majesty's good governance. The people below are so well-organized! Ordinary palace ceremonies can be so well-organized, let alone the fierce and powerful army that your Majesty has carefully cultivated. They must be invincible. Otherwise, how could there be such a great victory in Ningcheng? Your Majesty, tell me, am I right?

The beauty's eyes are moving and her gaze is lively.

Xiao Yu laughed out loud.

"Zhao Qing is right!"

Although he understood that whether a country could win a war could not be judged by the orderliness of its honor guard, Fei Wan's somewhat naive "reasonable and well-founded" statement really touched his heart.

However, his desire to recapture the Seven States was just an idea, something he hadn't mentioned publicly. He'd mentioned it to Fei Wan today on a whim, sharing his joy and anticipation with her. If word got out and those court officials got to know, who knew what kind of a scene it would cause.

So he warned: "Don't tell anyone else what we said today. Beiqu is still an ally. If you destroy them, don't spread the news again, otherwise someone will hear it and report you, and you will have to ask me to help you out."

The emperor used his slender fingers to gently scratch Fei Wan's pretty and straight nose.

The tone is doting.

Fei Wan blinked, revealing a rare bit of playfulness: "I understand, this is a little secret between me and Your Majesty!"

Xiao Yu smiled again.

There was a hint of ill intention in the smile.

He whispered in my ear, "There are still many secrets between us... Wait for me tonight."

"Your Majesty is so evil!"

Fei Wan turned away, shy and angry, and walked out of the side hall.

Xiao Yu didn't care about her rudeness and followed her with a smile.

Fei Wan looked like she was about to run out of Chenqian Palace in anger, but as she stepped over the threshold, she suddenly stopped and turned back, saying, "Your Majesty made me so angry that I almost forgot something important!"

"Oh, what's the important thing?"

Xiao Yu asked with a smile.

Fei Wan came back to him, suppressed her shyness, and bowed gracefully.

"Your Majesty, I was assassinated today. Luckily, thanks to your grace and protection, I escaped unharmed. However, a nearby eunuch was struck by an arrow and is seriously injured. I feel deeply sorry for this and would like to ask the imperial physician to treat his injuries. I would also like to give him the finest imperial medicine. I beg your Majesty's permission."

"And once his injury heals, I'd like to ask for mercy. Please allow me to give him a good job as compensation. Your Majesty, can you... promise me that?"

Xiao Yu smiled and said, "It's not difficult at all. Just go and arrange it."

Fei Wan explained carefully, "You just issued an order for me and the Consort Xian to assist in the management of the harem, and I'm showing favoritism to a common eunuch. This is illogical. However, I promise that I will try not to do this again in the future, lest anyone complain of injustice and let you down."

Xiao Yu couldn't help but reach out and touch Fei Wan's hair, sighing, "You don't have to be so cautious. I allowed you to assist me because I trust you."

How great it would be if all the women in the harem were as sensible as her!

Fei Wan looked at him gratefully: "Then...I would like to ask for one more favor."

"what?"

Xiao Yu was curious.

Zhaoqing is not a person without sense of propriety.

The two "important things" she did today were to congratulate the great victory and to comfort the wounded, which shows her pure kindness.

If other concubines asked for one grace and then asked for another, they were most likely greedy, arrogant, and wanted that after getting this.

But Zhao Qing...

He really wanted to know what she was asking for and for whom.

In short, it definitely wasn't for herself!

He knows her so well!
