Marrying the Crown Prince

Therefore, when Marquis Zhaoqing went to provide support, Anping County, with its strong military force, suffered the most intense attack in its history.

Lady Zhaoqing led everyone in a desperate resistance. Men, women, and children all went to the battlefield. First, they used bows and arrows to shoot down enemy soldiers who tried to climb over the wall, and then they poured boiling hot molten gold on them...

So when we ran out of other things, we used stones and hot water...

After holding out for three whole days, the city gates were finally breached.

Lady Zhaoqing, holding a red-tasseled spear, thrust and stabbed, and a corpse was gone.

The gun in her hand emanated a chilling aura, and when she swung it, it hummed like a dragon's roar.

Lady Zhaoqing, a woman of exceptional talent, is worth a hundred soldiers.

But people always get tired, and there were just too many enemy troops; no matter how many you killed, you couldn't kill them all.

Her armor was stained with blood, and her gun-wielding movements became increasingly mechanical...

An enemy soldier slashed at her with his sword, piercing her stomach.

Lady Zhaoqing spat out a mouthful of blood, gripped her spear, and with her last bit of strength swung it, piercing the man's throat.

The enemy troops surrounded them again, stabbing them one after another with their swords.

Lady Zhaoqing could no longer hold on and knelt heavily on the ground...

She gripped the gun tightly in her hand, kneeling in a pool of blood, lifeless.

When the enemy saw that Lady Zhaoqing was no longer moving, they were both excited and incredulous—this woman who killed anyone who stood in her way had finally fallen.

They carefully surrounded the woman, inching closer until they confirmed that she was truly silent.

"Your general is dead, why don't you surrender now?"

"Kill--"

"kill--"

Anping County has fallen.

At the Qixi Royal Palace, Li Zixi stood on the city wall, enduring the cold wind and gazing at the starry sky, motionless.

Su and Cao both came over, took off their cloaks, and draped them over her shoulders. "Although it's already summer, it's still a bit chilly after sunset and when the wind picks up at night."

"Yes, the wind is picking up." Li Zixi's smile was bleak.

Su and Cao seemed oblivious to her unease, remaining warm and friendly as they put their arms around her shoulders. "Let's go, it's late, the children miss you."

Yes, child...

When the Yunqin army breached Anping County, those beasts didn't even spare a single child!

"Uh--"

Su and Cao both caught the dagger with their bare hands, but Li Zixi's attack was swift and ruthless, and the dagger still pierced their shoulders.

"king!"

The guards quickly surrounded her, drew their swords, and pointed them at Li Zixi.

Su and Cao still had daggers stuck in their shoulders, but he still roared and scolded, "How dare you! She is your queen!"

The guard retorted, "Your Majesty, she is a princess of the Chen Kingdom."

"Get out!"

The pain made Su and Cao grit their teeth, but they still stood in front of Li Zixi.

"But……"

"roll!"

Although the guards were unwilling, they were still used to obeying Su and Cao's orders and chose to put their swords away.

Su and Cao both gripped the blades, their eyes fixed on Li Zixi. "Did you feel better?"

Li Zixi gasped for breath, her eyes bloodshot. "Su He and Cao Du, you deserve to die!"

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha……"

Instead of being angry, Su and Cao laughed, tilting their heads back and laughing for a long time, their expressions almost manic.

"Yes, I deserve to die. So, are you satisfied now?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he grabbed Li Zixi's hand and stabbed the dagger in again.

"You're crazy, you're a madman!" Li Zixi's body trembled.

"Yes, I've gone mad!" Su and Cao screamed hysterically, pulling out their daggers, blood splattering everywhere, both of them covered in blood.

He covered his wound with one hand and used the other to forcefully hold Li Zixi's head, forcing her to look at the subjects of Qixi Kingdom.

“You are the princess of Chen Kingdom, but you are also the queen of my Qixi Kingdom.”

"Open your eyes and look, these are your people, and they are also my people."

"Can you bear to see them go hungry and cold every day because they have to supply other countries?"

"How many people, because of poverty, don't even have a pair of warm shoes and socks in winter, and their hands and feet are cracked and bleeding."

"And how many people, unable to survive the harsh winter, starve to death on the streets?"

"Li Zixi, open your eyes and look at them, look at your people."

"Enough, shut up!" Li Zixi finally broke down and burst into tears.

Su and Cao ignored her struggles and didn't care about the secondary injury to her wounds. They held her tightly in their arms and said, "Cry, it'll be alright if you cry it out."

Perhaps due to the intense emotional fluctuations, Li Zixi fainted while crying.

Su and Cao both picked up the person and called for a doctor.

So, the couple, one lying in bed receiving treatment, and the other shirtless wrapping bandages around his neck.

"What's wrong?" Su and Cao both asked. "Why did the Queen faint?"

"Your Majesty, the Queen is pregnant."

"really?"

"It is absolutely true, the Queen is more than a month pregnant."

"Good, good, good!" Su and Cao laughed, but soon his expression changed again. "Why did the Queen faint? Is there something wrong with the fetus?"

The doctor explained, "The Queen's emotions fluctuated too much, which is why she fainted."

"As for the young master, he is very healthy and has no discomfort whatsoever."

Hearing this, Su and Cao were overjoyed once again.

He stood up and paced around excitedly, shouting, "Good, very good! Rewards! Rewards for everyone!"

"Thank you for the reward, Your Majesty."

The doctor and palace servants withdrew, and Su and Cao sat alone by Li Zixi's bedside, keeping watch over her.

He reached out and gently stroked Li Zixi's fair and smooth face, feeling a lingering fear: Thank goodness, you and the baby are both alright. If I had known you were pregnant, I definitely wouldn't have done this.

Yes, what happened today was not an accident.

How could Su and Cao not notice Li Zixi's unusual behavior?

Furthermore, he is highly skilled in martial arts; how could he possibly be stabbed by a weak woman who has no strength to even kill a chicken?

Everything was just a play he put on.

He knew that Li Zixi harbored a grudge that she had to vent.

Who wouldn't resent this?

He understood her suffering, but there were some things he had to do.

"Don't blame me." Su and Cao both spoke softly, then leaned down and placed a kiss on Li Zixi's forehead.

The Qixi Kingdom's palace looked like this, while the Chen Kingdom's palace, which was hundreds of thousands of miles away, was quite different.

At the entrance of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, countless ministers knelt.

At other times, you can take care of your health, but at this time, no matter if it's just a common cold or you have a terminal illness, you have to get up no matter what!

Wei Yi paced anxiously, "Your Majesty, what should we do?"

Looking at the document, Zhou Zhou felt as if a stone was pressing on her chest.

Her face was grim. By the end, her hands were clenched tightly, and the anger in her chest roared like a wild beast.

"Suhe and Caodu, I'll take your lives!"

Her eyes flashed with a chilling glint, her teeth clenched so tightly they clicked, and her voice was like the calm before a storm—seemingly calm, yet sounding as sinister and terrifying as hell to the ears.
