She softly instructed the maidservants beside her: "Go and find out what exactly Wu Yanzhen and Wu Yinshuang are secretly colluding with each other. Also, be sure to be on guard against these two people."
"Okay, Princess."
Instead of waiting for the news about Wu Yanzhen and Wu Yinshuang's secret collusion, Wu Qingyue received another piece of news!
That day, Xiao Shiyi came back with a serious look on his face, and Wu Qingyue immediately noticed the change in his expression.
She asked hurriedly, "What happened?"
The man met her concerned eyes and said quietly, "My wife, your husband may have to go to the battlefield."
Wu Qingyue couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
"On the battlefield?"
"Yes. This morning at court, news came from the north that the Saiqiu Kingdom, which borders the Beidi Kingdom, intends to invade our territory."
"So Xiao Muli sent you?" Wu Qingyue frowned slightly, her beautiful eyes staring at the man in front of her, with a hint of doubt in her tone.
"Well, not entirely."
Xiao Shiyi nodded slightly, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a confident smile.
"What do you mean?" Wu Qingyue asked.
Her clear eyes stared at Xiao Shiyi closely, as if trying to capture more information from his expression.
Xiao Shiyi smiled slightly and said slowly, "My lady, have you forgotten that I command an elite army, and this army only obeys my orders. This mission is difficult and the situation is complicated, so it is most appropriate for me to take charge personally."
After hearing this, Wu Qingyue suddenly realized that this was the case.
She nodded slightly, showing her understanding. After a moment's silence, she asked softly, "When are you leaving?"
The voice was soft and concerned.
"We'll be leaving in a few days."
As Xiao Shiyi spoke, he reached out and gently held Wu Qingyue's hand, looking at her affectionately, his eyes filled with deep reluctance to part.
Wu Qingyue felt the warmth from his palm, and her heart ached, but she still tried to stay calm.
She smiled and said, "In that case, I will carefully prepare my husband's luggage in the next few days to ensure that nothing goes wrong."
"Well, thank you, ma'am." Xiao Shiyi responded gently.
Over the next few days, Wu Qingyue bustled around, meticulously preparing everything. She carefully selected each piece of clothing and supplies, fearing any omissions. Furthermore, she even spent considerable time embroidering an exquisite sachet and placed a peace amulet inside.
This sachet is filled with her deep blessings and concerns for her husband, hoping that it will bless him with a safe and smooth journey.
Finally, on the morning of the fifth day, sunlight streamed through the window into the room. Xiao Shiyi, dressed in military uniform, stood at the doorway, looking dashing and heroic. Behind him followed a group of mighty soldiers, all of them in high spirits and high morale.
"My dear, I am so reluctant to leave you."
Xiao Shiyi walked up to Wu Qingyue again and hugged her tightly, as if he wanted to rub her into his body.
Wu Qingyue leaned on her husband's broad chest, feeling his strong heartbeat.
She raised her head and whispered comfortingly, "You have to be willing to leave, even if you are reluctant. Your husband is going to defend our country, and the responsibility is heavy. I will take good care of myself at home and wait for your triumphant return."
Xiao Shiyi gritted his teeth and said bitterly, "If it weren't for the extremely dangerous battlefield and you being pregnant, I would have taken you with me no matter what!"
Wu Qingyue gently stroked Xiao Shiyi's cheek and said softly, "I understand your feelings, but the country is in crisis, and I can't be a burden to you. Don't worry, I will pray for you silently at home, and look forward to your safe return soon."
After saying that, Wu Qingyue slowly loosened her hands, took a step back, and looked at Xiao Shiyi lovingly. Xiao Shiyi took a deep breath, turned around, and strode out the door.
With his order, the army marched out in an orderly manner towards the distant battlefield.
The sound of horse hooves resounded through the sky, raising a cloud of dust...
The man grabbed her soft hand and kissed her on the lips: "My dear, you must take good care of yourself and the baby while I am away. I have left you a small team of the most elite soldiers of the right wing army. They will protect you and your baby's safety for me."
Right-wing army?
She knew that the Right Wing Army was the most powerful army under the command of men! They could fly and hide, and their martial arts were also top-notch.
"No! I don't need them! You should take them. You need them more than I do."
"This is for you. You two are the most important!"
"Need not......"
"Besides, even without this right-wing army, I am still invincible!"
"But......"
"No buts, it's settled."
Ok.
The man held her in his arms again and whispered in her ear: "My dear wife, wait for your husband to come back home~"
"Ah."
The man kissed her forehead again before turning around resolutely and following the army.
Wu Qingyue stood at the door and looked at the army marching away, feeling a little emotional for a moment.
If she wasn't in such poor health and for the sake of the baby in her belly, she would have to stay at home and wait for him to return.
Her dejected look completely caught the eye of the man who had been observing them from a distance.
The man clenched his fists tightly, and a glimmer of "determination to win" flashed in his black eyes!
She did not enter the city gate until the army was no longer visible.
"Miss......"
Xiaotao's voice sounded a little tearful.
Wu Qingyue was shocked——
"what happened?"
"nothing!"
Xiao Tao wiped her nose and shook her head.
"Tell me, who bullied you?"
"No one bullied me, I'm just a little sad."
sad?
"What are you sad about?"
Xiao Tao's face suddenly became a little shy...
Wu Qingyue seemed to have thought of something suddenly!
"Are you reluctant to let go of the cold wind?"
When she said that, Xiaotao's face turned even redder!
"Miss--"
It seems she was right.
"Xiao Tao, you are husband and wife, and Leng Feng is sincere to you, so you don't have to be shy." Wu Qingyue comforted with a smile.
"I'm not shy!" Xiaotao quickly denied.
"Yes, yes, you are not shy."
Seeing that the maid's face was getting redder and redder, she chose not to tease her anymore.
"Let's go back."
"Ah."
Wu Qingyue turned and walked towards the palace. As soon as she stepped into the side hall, she felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong.
The maids and servants all looked nervous, and were relieved to see her come back.
Before she could ask in detail, a maid came hurriedly and said, "Princess, this old servant has something to report."
Wu Qingyue's heart tightened and she followed the nanny to the side hall.
The nanny whispered, "Princess, the princess from Beidi is here again!"
Wu Qingyue thought it was something else, but it turned out to be because of this.
"Come on, why are you so nervous?"
