Quick Transmigration: The Pregnant Little Fairy is Pampered by the Heirless Boss

Xiao Shen returned successfully with the provisions, and the Crown Prince was already waiting for him in the main camp.

The general led the crown prince to the warehouse, and when he saw the mountains of grain and abundant winter supplies, his eyes were filled with surprise and relief.

"General Xiao, this is truly a great achievement! With these provisions and supplies, our army's morale will surely be greatly boosted!" the Crown Prince said excitedly.

The generals also showed joy on their faces, whispering among themselves praising Xiao Shen's bravery and wisdom.

Xiao Shen bowed and said, "It is all thanks to the Crown Prince's skillful command and the soldiers' valiant efforts that we were able to successfully capture this batch of grain."

The crown prince walked up to the provisions and examined them carefully. His smile grew even brighter: "With such ample supplies, we are even more confident of victory against the Qi King's rebel army!"

"The King of Qi's rebellion is an outrageous act of treason. Now that our army's strength has greatly increased, we are determined to wipe him out in one fell swoop and restore peace to the people!" a general declared passionately.

Everyone echoed this sentiment, expressing their determination to make the King of Qi pay the price for his rebellious act.

The crown prince raised his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet.

His gaze was calm and firm as he slowly said, "Please be patient, everyone, and listen to what I have to say."

His voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable authority. The generals immediately fell silent, all looking at the crown prince, awaiting his next words.

"Generals, the King of Qi is wicked and attempts to overthrow the court. We must lead a righteous army to quell the rebellion and protect the land and state of Chen!"

"But the people of the North are also the people of my Chen Kingdom. When war breaks out, it is ultimately they who will suffer."

"Although we have now captured the Qi King's armory and granary and have the upper hand, once war breaks out, the people will suffer and be displaced, which is not what we want."

"If we can make peace through negotiations and help the King of Qi realize his mistakes and avoid this war, it will be a good thing for the country and its people."

"We hold the leverage; negotiating peace is not a sign of weakness, but rather a demonstration of our benevolence and magnanimity. If the King of Qi agrees, peace can be preserved in this region."

"If he insists on not complying, then we can launch a military campaign against him. We will have a legitimate reason to do so, and we will surely win the support of the people. The morale of our soldiers will also be much higher. What do you think, generals?"

Xiao Shen stepped forward first, cupped his hands, and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is kind-hearted and cares deeply for the people. What you say is absolutely right. This humble general agrees with the strategy of peace talks. Now that we have the upper hand, the Prince of Qi will surely be wary. If we can resolve this peacefully, that would be the best outcome."

Then, a general stepped forward and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince has considered everything carefully. This humble general is willing to follow your arrangements. As long as the safety of the people can be ensured, peace talks are a feasible option."

The other generals nodded in agreement: "We are willing to obey the Crown Prince's orders and value peace above all else. But if the King of Qi refuses to repent, we will certainly fight with all our might to quell the rebellion and eliminate the chaos!"

Seeing that the generals agreed, the crown prince's face showed relief: "Very good, then let's send an envoy to the King of Qi's camp to express our willingness to negotiate peace."

The matter was settled, and the generals dispersed.

However, Xiao Shen did not rest, but instead discussed defense matters with the Crown Prince.

After all, they seized the King of Qi's granary and armory, and the King of Qi would surely not be able to tolerate it. It is possible that he would launch a surprise attack tonight.

"General Xiao, you haven't rested for a long time. I'll be keeping watch tonight, so don't worry. Your little wife is still waiting for you in the tent; we can't let her worry too much."

Xiao Shen was initially worried, but then he thought about how Ji Xiaosong was alone in the tent and might throw a tantrum.

Although she is usually gentle and generous, she is not entirely without temper.

It's best to consider her feelings more.

Furthermore, his camp is very close to the Crown Prince's, so going to see his wife shouldn't be a problem.

Xiao Shen cupped his hands and said to the Crown Prince, "Thank you for your consideration, Your Highness. I will go back to see my wife first and then come back to stay with you later."

"Go, go and come back quickly."

Xiao Shen took his leave, turned around, and hurried back to his tent.

Upon arriving at the tent, Xiao took a deep breath, lifted the curtain, and went inside.

Xiao Shen entered the tent and saw Ji Xiaosong lying on the couch, seemingly asleep.

He tiptoed to the bedside and, by the dim candlelight, gazed at Ji Xiaosong's sleeping face.

Then he gently sat on the edge of the couch and reached out to smooth the stray hairs on Ji Xiaosong's forehead.

Ji Xiaosong's eyelashes trembled slightly, but she still did not open her eyes.

Actually, she wasn't asleep yet.

I was worried for a long time, fearing that the King of Qi would gather his troops and fight them again.

Ji Xiaosong slowly opened her eyes, looking at Xiao Shen with sleepy eyes, pretending to have just woken up, her voice still a little groggy: "Husband, you're back?"

"Did I wake you up?" Xiao Shen asked gently when he saw that she was awake.

Ji Xiaosong gently shook her head and sat up: "No, I didn't sleep well anyway, I was thinking about you the whole time."

She reached out and took Xiao Shen's hand, her eyes full of concern: "Was today alright? Are you hurt?"

Don't worry, everything is fine.

"Is there any movement from the King of Qi's side?"

"The Crown Prince already has a plan, so you don't need to worry. Just rest easy."

Hearing this, Ji Xiaosong felt a little relieved.

She leaned against Xiao Shen's chest and whispered, "I only hope that this war will end soon so that we can live a peaceful life."

Xiao Shen hugged her tightly and whispered, "Yes, it will happen soon."

He was also the one who least wanted war.

If he were to go to war, he would have to leave his wife alone in the capital.

What if she gets worried later and runs away again?

He really didn't dare to think about what the consequences would be.

This time, Ji Xiaosong was lucky and didn't get injured.

But what about the future?

Who can guarantee that nothing will go wrong?

The thought of his beloved wife tugged at Xiao Shen's heartstrings.

He couldn't imagine how he would face the possibility of Ji Xiaosong encountering misfortune one day.

That would be an unbearable burden in his life; the mere thought of it caused him suffocating pain.

"Ah Song, from now on you must never leave alone. You must always have guards with you. When we return this time, I will arrange a few more female bodyguards for you."

Upon hearing Xiao Shen's words, Ji Xiaosong frowned slightly and said, "Husband, I don't need so many people following me. I will be careful. There's no need for such trouble."

Xiao Shen's face darkened, and he said domineeringly, "No, there's no room for discussion. I can't let you be in any danger; you must follow my instructions."

Ji Xiaosong originally wanted to argue a few more points, but seeing Xiao Shen's firm yet worried eyes, her heart softened, knowing that he was genuinely thinking of her.

So she nodded gently and said, "Alright, my husband, I'll do whatever you say."

Then, she snuggled closer to Xiao Shen and whispered, "Husband, would you like to sleep with me for a while? You've had a long day too."

Xiao Shen nodded and lay down with Ji Xiaosong.

Before long, Xiao Shen fell into a deep sleep.

Looking at Xiao Shen's tired face, Ji Xiaosong felt heartbroken.

She secretly channeled her limited spiritual power and slowly injected it into Xiao Shen's body.

A faint blue-green light shimmered on Xiao Shen's body, his tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed, and his breathing became steady and deep.

Seeing the changes in Xiao Shen, Ji Xiaosong smiled with satisfaction.

She gently leaned against Xiao Shen and slowly fell asleep.

But less than an hour later, a commotion of shouts and the clash of weapons suddenly erupted outside.

A soldier rushed in to report: "General! Something terrible has happened! The King of Qi's army has suddenly attacked!"

Xiao Shen woke up instantly, and Ji Xiaosong was also startled by the noise and sat up.

"Madam, please don't move around here. I'll go check on the situation."

Xiao Shen's face darkened, and he quickly got up, put on his armor, and said to Ji Xiaosong.

"Husband, be careful."

Xiao Shen nodded and followed the soldier out of the tent to prepare to meet the enemy.
