Chapter 132 The young couple lives apart

"If General Huo hadn't gone there in person, I wouldn't be able to sleep or eat. The people at the border have been troubled by the war for years. I really don't want to see another fight at Dongling Pass."

Su Yunyao raised her eyes and looked at Huo Xiao, shaking the emperor's arm with both hands.

"Royal brother, Huo Xiao has only been in Shengjing City for a few days, and he is being transferred away so soon. What should I do if I miss him?"

Huo Xiao's eyes trembled when he heard this.

Lu Mingfeng turned a deaf ear and looked away.

"Sister, please stop making trouble." The emperor's words were filled with doting. "I can do whatever you want, sister, but not this."

"Emperor, when Huo Xiao was guarding Ximen Pass, it took me four or five days to go there. Now if I go to Dongling Pass, I won't be able to see him for several years."

Su Yunyao pouted, her face full of unhappiness written all over it.

When Huo Xiao looked at her at this moment, he felt as if something had stabbed his heart, and a trace of pain arose.

He moved his lips, wanting to say something.

But in front of the emperor, he swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

"Imperial sister, Dongling Pass is not that far away. We can be back in two days. Even if General Huo is stationed at Dongling Pass, he will not return to Shengjing City. If you miss him, you can go to Dongling Pass to play. I will send more imperial guards to protect you." The emperor did not seem to have any intention of giving in.

Su Yunyao pouted and refused to give in. "No, my royal brother, please watch carefully as our young husband and wife live apart. We could have been inseparable, but now we're in a long-distance relationship."

Standing aside, Lu Mingfeng, who was originally just a little jealous, felt a pang in his heart.

couple?

Although the princess just said it casually, the more casually it was spoken, the more it revealed what she was thinking, didn't it?

He had fought and fought for her favor, and the princess must have had deep feelings for General Huo.

If the princess didn't really like General Huo, how could she give him her first choice?

Lu Mingfeng clenched his hands into fists at his sides and took several deep breaths silently to calm his restless heart.

Huo Xiao, whose mood was completely different from his, felt his heart tighten when he heard the princess say the word "husband and wife".

His eyes were slightly red because Lu Mingfeng stayed in the princess's bedroom last night. He had not slept all night, and his wounded heart was healed by the princess's casual words.

The younger brother patiently took Su Yunyao's hand and said, "Sister, General Huo is a military commander. He can't stay in Shengjing City all the time like a civil official. You have to be more understanding."

"No." Su Yunyao refused.

At this time, not only the emperor was helpless, even Huo Xiao was a little at a loss.

"If you want Huo Xiao to go to Dongling Pass, it's fine. Emperor, you have to build a smoke platform for me."

Smoke platform?

The emperor frowned, "What is the Smoke Tower?"

Su Yunyao grabbed the emperor's hand.

"Royal brother, I was thinking about this the last time I went to Ximenguan. Look, I wrote a love letter to Huo Xiao, and even if I rode as fast as I could, it would still take two days to get it back and forth. How can I relieve the pain of missing you both?"

The emperor held his forehead helplessly and looked at Huo Xiao.

Looking at Huo Xiao's expression, his heart was filled with heartache.

The emperor had the illusion that he shouldn't be here.

But even so, since it concerns the affairs of the previous dynasty, he cannot allow his imperial sister to act recklessly.

He moved his lips and was about to say something when he heard Su Yunyao continue.

"But if we have this smoke platform, when I miss him, I will release a smoke screen in the Princess's Mansion, and then build one every ten miles eastward. When they see me releasing smoke, they will follow suit. Even if the distance is a hundred miles, in less than a quarter of an hour, Huo Xiao, who is far away at Dongling Pass, will know that I miss him. Royal brother, I tell you, I have thought it all out. When the time comes, I will release red smoke when I miss him, yellow smoke when I love him, and blue smoke when I want to kiss him..."

As the emperor listened, the expression on his face gradually changed from helplessness to clarity.

At this moment, even Lu Mingfeng, who had been trying his best not to listen to what the princess said about her ambiguous feelings with General Huo, turned his head.

Huo Xiao looked at Su Yunyao with shock on his face.

Lu Mingfeng might not know it, but he knew that the princess was at Ximen Pass and that she had single-handedly scared off an army of 100,000.

Even the secret of the defeat five years ago was discovered by the princess. She even knew that the trap in the Xijing Imperial City was gunpowder.

He even knew how to break into a city.

It was rumored that the princess was uneducated and illiterate, but the princess he knew was knowledgeable and experienced, and knew things that others did not.

After returning to Shengjing City, the princess pushed all the credit onto him. All the civil and military officials in the court thought that he was the god of war who saw through the gunpowder in Xijing, but no one knew that this was the princess's advice.

Even in the end he reported everything to the emperor in detail.

The emperor still felt that he was just trying to give the princess some credit, and even had a hint of doubt.

Now the princess proposed this smoke platform.

If it can really be built, if a war breaks out at that border, can troops be mobilized? Will it be necessary to just set off smoke of an agreed color?

Shengjing City can respond in just a cup of tea.

In this way, there is no need to wait for the imperial edict, which would kill countless horses, before mobilizing troops.

That really brought convenience to the front line that cannot be expressed in words.

He even felt that the princess was not just speaking casually, but that she knew many things that they did not know.

It was just like the invisibility technique that the princess had mentioned when he first met her.

At that time, he just thought it was nonsense that the princess wanted to tease him, but now, he actually felt that it might be a peerless light skill that he had never seen before.

Huo Xiao's heart was beating very fast, completely different from the previous time when he thought of the princess.

The emperor tilted his head and said to Wu Jixiang with an extremely serious expression, "Go and call Shen Qiu Nian back to me."

Su Yunyao frowned, "Emperor, is this possible?"

The emperor turned around, his brows softening again. "Royal sister, why don't you go to the Queen's place and play for a while? I suddenly remembered that I have something to discuss with my dear ministers."

Su Yunyao sighed helplessly, glanced at Huo Xiao, and then said slowly, "Then you should discuss it quickly. You must return Huo Xiao to me before the hour of Xu."

The emperor glanced at Huo Xiao, whose cheeks were flushed, and sneered, "Okay, okay, I promise, General Huo will be returned to the princess's mansion before the hour of Xu."

Su Yunyao nodded with a sad face, turned and left.

Pearl's eyes turned red when she saw the princess's sad look. She followed the princess and got into the carriage.

The carriage started to move slowly. Zhenzhu moved her lips and was about to say something to persuade her, but she saw Su Yunyao's expression relaxed for a moment.

"Let's go to Jinjing Tower to play with Xu Mubai!"
