Accidentally dressed as an empress

The soldiers led by Gu Zezhi and Su Qing, wearing armor and holding sharp blades, were neatly arranged on both sides of the palace hall. They stood tall and straight, like a solid wall of steel.

At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps broke the silence in the hall.

Xu Ling hurried over with a group of ministers. They looked hurried and anxious.

After entering the palace, Xu Ling didn't bother to tidy up his messy clothes and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the Second Prince has died fighting against the Chu army, and Royal Master Lin has been poisoned and is in a coma. Your Majesty, you are the only one who can save the Yun Kingdom!"

Xu Ling and a group of ministers knelt in unison and said in a loud voice, "Your Majesty, please return to the palace!"

Inside the hall, Gu Zezhi's hands unconsciously clenched into fists, his knuckles turned white from the force, and the veins on his arms bulged faintly. He frowned, worried about the Gu family members in Lingyun City.

Lingyun City is under the watchful eyes of the Chu army. If they lose this battle, everyone will become a stray dog.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Yun Se.

However, Yun Se did not agree immediately as everyone expected. She stood there quietly, looking into the distance calmly, with an elusive depth in her eyes.

Yun Se's expression changed again and again. It turned out that the Chu army had attacked, but she was still in the palace, kept in the dark and knew nothing.

Yun Se shook his head slightly, his eyes sweeping over Xu Ling and the ministers one by one. His tone was calm but revealed an unquestionable firmness: "Xu Ling, you must go to Xiling immediately and bring Yunxiu back. The war on the front line is urgent and the situation is precarious. As the king of a country, I cannot sit in Lingyun City and enjoy peace. I must go to the front line myself."

Upon hearing this, Xu Ling hurriedly raised his head, his eyes filled with earnestness: "Your Majesty, the battle on the front lines is extremely dangerous. As the ruler of a country, how can you easily take risks? This is truly too dangerous! Please reconsider!"

A group of ministers also echoed this. They knelt down and pleaded with him: "Your Majesty, Lord Xu is absolutely right. Your safety concerns the fate of the entire country. You must not take any risks lightly!"

Yun Se looked at the ministers who were kneeling on the ground to advise her. Although they were all worried about her safety, she had made up her mind at this moment.

She took a deep breath and said slowly, "I understand your feelings, but the soldiers on the front lines are fighting bloody battles. They are sacrificing their lives and shedding their blood to protect the country and the people.

As the ruler of a country, how can I hide in the rear and sit back and do nothing? Only if I go to the front lines myself can I stabilize the army's morale, boost its spirits, and lead the soldiers to victory."

Gu Zezhi and Su Qing looked at each other, then took a step forward, knelt on one knee, and said in unison: "Your Majesty, we are willing to follow Your Majesty until death, and go to the front line together to protect Your Majesty!"

Yun Se looked at them, nodded slightly, and said, "Okay, I feel relieved with you here."

Yun Se nodded slightly, then said seriously, "Gu Zezhi, food and grass are now the lifeblood of the soldiers on the front lines. Only with sufficient food and grass can they fight bravely on the battlefield without any worries.

This grain transport mission is related to the direction of the entire war and cannot afford any mistakes.

You must immediately gather your forces, select the best troops, and ensure that the food and supplies are safely transported to the front lines as quickly as possible."

Gu Zezhi knelt on one knee with a solemn expression, pounding his chest with his right fist. He responded in a loud and firm voice, "Your Majesty, rest assured. I will do my best to live up to your trust and ensure that the food and fodder are safe and delivered to the front line on time!"

After saying that, Gu Zezhi quickly turned around and left in big strides to prepare for the grain transportation.

After arranging Gu Zezhi's task, Yun Se turned his attention to Xu Ling.

She walked up to Xu Ling, leaned forward slightly, and gently lifted the kneeling Xu Ling up with both hands. "Xu Ling, the trip to Yunyin City is of great importance. Yunxiu is kind, intelligent, and upright, and the ministers are well aware of her talents. I originally wanted to make her the crown princess, but something went wrong along the way. Now that the Yun Kingdom is in danger, you should take a few capable ministers with you to Yunyin City.

After meeting the Grand Princess, be sure to inform her of the current situation in detail and return to Lingyun City immediately to discuss state affairs. Xu Ling, the task of finding the Grand Princess is now yours. You must bring her back as soon as possible."

Xu Ling raised his head, his eyes gleaming with determination, and said sincerely, "I obey your command! Your Majesty, you must take care of yourself at the front. I will rush to Xiling as quickly as possible, bring His Highness back to the palace, and help the country solve its problems."

Yun Se nodded slightly, a relieved smile on her face: "Okay, I feel relieved with your words. The journey is long, so you must be careful."

Xu Ling knelt down and kowtowed again, "I hope Your Majesty will return victorious."

The sunlight shone on Yunse's body, outlining her resolute figure. She took a deep breath, turned around, and strode towards the warhorse that had been waiting by the side.

She jumped on the horse neatly, holding the reins, and left the palace

Gu Zezhi, Lin Nan and Su Qing led the soldiers and followed closely behind her. The group marched towards the front line in a mighty manner, leaving Xu Ling and a group of ministers in the hall, looking at their departing backs with worry.

Yun Se, Gu Ze and their group rushed towards Linjiang County.

The thick night spread out like ink, and the cold wind was filled with a murderous atmosphere. All around, the light of the torches swayed violently in the wind, casting shadows that made the surrounding scene mottled and colorful.

Suddenly, a group of black-clad assassins emerged from the darkness like ghosts, holding sharp blades and rushing towards Gu Zezhi and Su Qing with murderous intent.

They rushed out from all directions and surrounded Gu Zezhi and others. The assassins had fierce eyes and bloodthirsty smiles on their faces, like a group of hungry beasts seeing their prey.

"Hmph, you've come just in time!" Su Qing snorted coldly, shook the long sword in his hand, and assumed a fighting stance.

Gu Zezhi also drew the long sword from his waist. The sword flashed with cold light, and his eyes revealed a cold murderous intent.

"Kill!" With Gu Ze's order, the two sides immediately started a fierce battle.

The flashing of swords and the splashing of blood, the shouts of killing and the sounds of weapons clashing were intertwined.

Gu Zezhi and Su Qing led the charge, moving freely among the group of assassins. Wherever they went, assassins fell one after another.

After a fierce fight, the assassins finally couldn't hold on and began to flee in all directions.

Gu Zezhi and others took advantage of the victory to pursue and eliminate all the assassins.

After the battle, Gu Zezhi wiped the blood off his sword and sheathed it. A hint of worry flashed in his eyes. "It seems the situation in the palace is more complicated than we thought. Su Qing, take a team to search the surroundings to see if there are any other ambushes."
