Having many handsome men means no worries; pampering them all keeps me in good spirits.

When it was time for dinner and Jiang Qingyan had not returned, Mo Ting sent someone to Yangxin Hall to look for her.

A moment later, the young eunuch came running back, knelt down and reported: "Your Majesty, the Emperor has gone to see Mr. Liang."

Mo Ting immediately understood, waved to the little eunuch to signal him to leave, then picked up the bowl and chopsticks on the table and silently ate his meal.

It's impossible to say that you don't care at all. Who in the world would willingly send their beloved to someone else's bed?

The other three people at the table, though filled with mixed feelings, remained silent and quietly ate their food.

Since their husbands are the emperor... at least they can ensure that their favors are distributed equally, which is already quite good...

Jiang Qingyan slept until the hour of Yin the next day before slowly waking up to the sound of Wang Gonggong's alarm clock. Meanwhile, Liang Cheng, who was beside her, had already gotten up early to make weapons.

Jiang Qingyan felt refreshed and full of energy after a long time of not sleeping so soundly. After getting up and putting on her undergarments, she called Eunuch Wang to bring people into the palace to help her wash and dress.

During the morning court session, another urgent report came from the border.

The Yuan dynasty had already allied with the Tuoba tribe, and together they launched an attack on Da'an...

By the time Lu Nian arrived, Liping County had already fallen, and Prince Yun was nowhere to be found. The army had no choice but to reinforce Zhangping County, which was located behind Liping County...

Jiang Qingyan clenched her fists. If it were only the Yuan Kingdom, it would be fine, but now that the Tuoba clan has been added, even if Lu Nian is strong, he probably can't fight against so many opponents.

After the morning court session, Jiang Qingyan rushed to Liang Cheng's place to inquire about the progress of weapon production.

Liang Cheng stood in the courtyard, covered in dirt, holding a golden pistol in his hand, smiling contentedly.

Jiang Qingyan was filled with surprise and exclaimed, "Liang Cheng, you actually made the gun so quickly!"

Hearing Jiang Qingyan's voice, Liang Cheng looked up and jogged over to greet her, handing her the pistol and excitedly saying, "Husband, I just tried it, this thing is really amazing! Husband is simply a genius, to be able to research and develop such a powerful weapon!"

Jiang Qingyan took the pistol, aimed at the bullseye, and quickly pulled the trigger.

With a loud "bang," the bullet pierced the bullseye, knocking down a large tree behind it, leaving only the screams of birds flying wildly in the sky.

Liang Cheng stared at the fallen tree for a moment, then slowly turned to look at Jiang Qingyan, his face full of admiration, "Husband... you're so amazing..."

Jiang Qingyan curled her lips into a smile. Back in modern times, she was the national shooting champion...

Immediately afterwards, Liang Cheng took two more grenades from the side and was about to pull the pin to test them when Jiang Qingyan quickly stopped him.

Jiang Qingyan said nervously, "Silly girl, you can't try this! Do you want to blow up the palace?!"

Upon hearing this, Liang Cheng trembled with fright and quickly put the grenade back in its original position.

But his eyes unconsciously darted around a few more times. How could this little thing be so powerful?

Jiang Qingyan patted Liang Cheng's head and said softly, "Baby, Da'an is so lucky to have you."

At night, Jiang Qingyan lay in Mo Ting's arms, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

Sensing the unusual behavior of the person beside him, Mo Ting gently wrapped his arms around Jiang Qingyan's waist from behind and asked with concern, "Is my husband worried about Lu Nian and Yi Luo?"

Jiang Qingyan turned around and hugged Mo Ting tightly, burying her head in his chest, and murmured, "Mo Ting, I want to go find them..."

Mo Ting's brow furrowed upon hearing this, and he said in a deep voice, "No, this battle is too dangerous. My husband must not risk going!"

The last time her husband was kidnapped by a succubus, he was still traumatized; how could he possibly let her risk her life again...?

Jiang Qingyan tilted her head slightly, her eyes a little moist, "Mo Ting, I'm scared..."

Even a valiant man like General Lu was killed by the Yuan soldiers; she was truly afraid that Lu Nian and Yi Luo might also have met with misfortune there...

Mo Ting gently stroked Jiang Qingyan's back, his eyes filled with heartache. He sighed softly, "I'll go in my husband's place."

At the very least, he possesses profound internal strength; unless someone willingly surrenders, there are few in the world who can harm him.

Saving Lu Nian and Yi Luo's lives is enough...

Jiang Qingyan shook her head. "No! I'm already worried enough about those two. If you go too, I'll go crazy..."

Just then, footsteps sounded outside the door. Mo Ting asked alertly, "Who's outside?"

With that, he got up, put on his outer robe, and quickly walked out.

The people outside the door were Yu Ying and Xia Meier, who were kneeling in the courtyard with their heads bowed.

At this moment, Jiang Qingyan also got up and went out. When she saw the two people in the courtyard, she asked in surprise, "Why are you two here?"

Xia Meier, heavily pregnant, crawled over and grabbed Jiang Qingyan's ankle, choking back tears, "Your Majesty... I beg you to save Meier's father..."

Jiang Qingyan was momentarily stunned. "What happened to your father?"

Mo Ting sighed softly and whispered in her ear, "Husband has forgotten that Xia Meier's father is the magistrate of Liping County."

Jiang Qingyan suddenly remembered that she had once thought Xia Meier was someone sent by Prince Yun because of this...

She quickly knelt down, helped Xia Meier up, and walked to the stone table, slowly sitting down. She said in a deep voice, "An urgent report came from the border today: Liping County has fallen. We don't yet know how your father and the people there are doing..."

Xia Meier, her face streaked with tears, sobbed incessantly, "Your Majesty, could you send someone to escort Meier back to Liping County? I want to go find my father myself..."

Jiang Qingyan glanced at Yu Ying, who was standing behind Xia Meier, with a troubled expression. Seeing that he was just keeping his head down and not saying anything, she knew that he couldn't persuade Xia Meier otherwise and decided to go along as well.

But going to Liping County at this time would be no different from sending someone to their death.

After a moment, Jiang Qingyan took a deep breath and patiently advised, "Mei'er, you are pregnant now. Even if you don't care about your own life, you have to think about the baby."

Yu Ying frowned and quickly agreed, "Yes, Mei'er, you should stay at home and rest well during your pregnancy. I can go alone."

Xia Meier said with a sob in her voice, "Father's fate is still unknown. If something happens to you on this trip, how will my child and I survive? It's better for the three of us to live and die together. Even if something happens, at least we won't have to experience the pain of separation and death..."

Jiang Qingyan grew increasingly distressed as she listened, and made a firm decision: "Neither of you are allowed to go! I will personally go to Zhangping County to meet up with Lu Nian and the others, and then inquire about Magistrate Xia. If he is still alive, I will definitely find a way to bring him back."

Just as Mo Ting was about to object, Jiang Qingyan quickly covered his mouth and whispered to Yu Ying, "Yu Ying, Yi Luo isn't here. Could you disguise yourself as me?"
