Chapter 951

This is the fastest way.

Murong Yu also realized that if Shadow were present, he could complete the task. Now he has returned to the capital.

“Your Majesty, I can complete the mission.” At this moment, Canxue stepped forward.

She is a woman, which makes people lower their guard, but in reality, she is highly skilled in martial arts, making her very suitable.

“Miss Canxue may be alone and without anyone to look after her, so why don’t I go with her?” said General Cheng Shi’an.

Mingdao glanced at him and said, "Your skill level is not up to par with your junior sister's. I'll accompany her instead!"

Cheng Shi'an's face flushed slightly.

Canxue is beautiful and highly skilled in martial arts.

Despite her cold and aloof nature, she couldn't resist the charms of many men in the military camp who pursued her.

However, Canxue did not take them seriously. Only her senior brother Mingdao was with her. The two of them always accompanied the emperor.

Murong Yu also felt that it would be most appropriate for Mingdao and Canxue to go together.

"If we succeed, we will be credited with the greatest achievement."

After receiving their orders, the two set off together.

......

It snowed a month late in the capital of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Inside the palace walls, the snow fell silently.

Pure white snowflakes fluttered down, like goose feathers and broken jade scattered from the heavens, arriving quietly.

The vermilion palace walls and golden glazed tiles appeared even more intense and profound against the backdrop of white snow.

In the courtyard outside the Imperial Study, several red plum trees stood proudly against the snow, their blossoms blooming in the silvery-white world, their subtle fragrance wafting in the air.

The white marble steps were buried by snow, revealing only a few outlines leading to the magnificent palaces.

On the upturned eaves of the palace, snow piled up into exquisite shapes, resembling snow cranes about to take flight.

The eunuchs and palace maids hurried through the snow, their footprints crisscrossing the ground before being quickly covered by fresh snow.

The lotus pond in the distance is frozen and covered with snow. The ice surface is as smooth as a mirror, which is a beautiful contrast with the snow falling all around. The weeping willows by the pond are wrapped in snow, like silver threads hanging down.

The entire palace was imbued with a solemn and tranquil atmosphere amidst the snow.

Looking at the snowflakes, Yun Xiyue couldn't help but miss Murong Yu.

"Your Majesty, this servant has prepared white fungus and bird's nest soup."

"Winter is starting and it's snowing heavily now. I wonder how things are at the border! Is there any news from Father?" Yun Xiyue took a sip of the warm, comforting white fungus and bird's nest soup.

Granny Cao said, "There's still no news."

She was also very worried about Qingmei. No matter what, Qingmei was a girl she had watched grow up, and now she was being married off to a distant place and being bullied.

The thought of her being kidnapped and possibly suffering all sorts of inhuman torture made Granny Cao feel distressed. She thought about going to Da Wei with Qingmei, but she couldn't bear to leave Yunxiyue.

"Your Majesty is pregnant, so please take care of yourself first. As long as you are safe and sound, the Emperor will be more at ease."

Yun Xiyue nodded, looking at Granny Cao's slightly red eyes, "Granny, if Qingmei is safe and sound this time, then you can go to Dawei to take care of her for me! I have Granny Chen by my side, so don't worry."

Granny Cao couldn't hold back her tears and wiped them away. "Your Majesty, I can't bear to part with you and the princes. If this baby is a princess, I will be even more reluctant to part with her."

She was Yun Xiyue's wet nurse and also her right-hand woman, handling many matters on her behalf.

Yun Xiyue needs her more.

Granny Cao knew in her heart, "I've thought about it. We can send more people to protect Qingmei, and have Xiaowei stay by her side to protect her."

Xiaowei likes green plums.

If it weren't for Qingmei falling in love with Mo Wang...

She would prefer Qingmei to marry Xiaowei.
