She felt deeply gratified that she had finally succeeded in sleeping with Gu Yan.

An hour later, everyone saw their Empress being carried back by Prince Qian. The Empress covered her eyes with her hands, her face and neck flushed pink, seemingly quite embarrassed. In contrast, Prince Qian looked refreshed. If one could ignore his soaked clothes, everyone would assume that the two of them had simply gone for a spring outing...

Nobody would believe that.

Gu Yan glanced at everyone, and they immediately lowered their heads, trembling with fear and not daring to look again.

Feng Guang said fiercely, "Put me down."

"Your Majesty, why are you in such a hurry? I was just worried that you didn't have the strength," Gu Yan smiled gently and charmingly.

Those listening nearby picked up on three words: "no strength..."

She felt a lump in her throat and could only glare at him, "Aren't you childish?"

"Your Majesty often says that having a youthful mindset is a good thing, and now that I think about it, it really isn't a bad thing."

She said sternly, "Gu Yan, I order you to release me."

He lowered his head meekly and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Fengguang landed from his arms, and as soon as she stood on the ground, she swayed and fell back into his arms.

Gu Yan said slowly, "Your Majesty has a bad back, so please be careful."

Oh, and the Queen also has a bad back...

Everyone lowered their heads even further, as if they had witnessed something momentous.

"You little brat!" Feng Guang shouted arrogantly, "Come and help me up!"

"Yes!" I quickly went over and helped Feng Guang out of Gu Yan's arms.

Gu Yan casually said to Xiao Zi, "His Majesty's legs are weak right now, so please take good care of him."

My legs and feet are weak!

This is absolutely amazing!

Everyone in the background blushed.

"Gu Yan, you bastard!" These were the last words Feng Guang shouted before getting into the carriage.

Her imperial majesty!

Gu Yan seemed not to hear him and said to the soldiers and officers, "Let's set off."

"Yes, Your Highness." The general accepted the order.

“Young Master Ke.” Gu Yan looked at Ke Huai, who was standing to the side.

Ke Huai said, "Your Highness."

He had been traveling in a magnificent carriage the whole way, but since the magnificent carriage hadn't invited him to ride with it before getting on, he was now standing there, unsure of what to do next.

Gu Yan smiled faintly, "His Majesty needs to rest, so Young Master Ke, please ride in the same carriage with me."

"Yes," Ke Huai replied, bowing his head.

Three days later, after crossing a wilderness, the group finally arrived at the border military camp.

Lan Tingrong and her soldiers had been waiting at the camp gate for a long time. When they saw the people getting off the carriage, they all knelt on the ground and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty."

I helped Feng Guang down from the carriage. Gu Yan and Ke Huai also got off from the carriage behind. Feng Guang glanced at Gu Yan indifferently, waved her hand and said, "No need for formalities, everyone, please get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The soldiers stood up.

Feng Guang looked at the man leading the group of soldiers. He had sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, and his aura was tough. His silver-white armor made him look exceptionally handsome. This man with such vigor would probably elicit shouts from many women.

"You are Lan Tingrong, General Lan?"

"Your Majesty, this humble general is indeed Lan Tingrong."

"Yes, he is indeed good-looking." Feng Guang nodded affirmatively. "The conditions here are harsh. You have led troops in battle for many years. You have worked hard."

Lan Tingrong replied neither humbly nor arrogantly, "It is our honor to protect our country. Moreover, there are many people in the military camp who are working harder than us, so I dare not complain."

"Not bad, not bad, your ideological awareness is quite high." She spoke as if she didn't know that he had been guarding the border all this time because he didn't want to marry into their royal family.

Tsk, he doesn't want to get married, and she doesn't want to marry him either.

Gu Yan stepped forward. "His Majesty has personally led this expedition, bringing with him the imperial physicians and provisions needed by the general. What are your next plans, General?"
