Chapter 28 Will the Princess Miss Me?

concern?

The Huo family has long been famous for its military achievements, and General Huo died on the battlefield.

If Huo Xiao takes Xijing again...

Although the incident five years ago was beyond human control, it had a significant impact on Huo Xiao.

If he ever has any other thoughts.

"Your Majesty, I heard from Tangquan Palace this morning that the eldest princess took General Huo to the Hibiscus Pond last night and did not leave until midnight. However, Lord Shen also went there later."

The emperor was startled when he heard this, "Wha...what?"

Wu Jixiang's expression was indescribable. "When I heard this, I also felt a little bit unbelievable."

The expression on the emperor's face went through many expressions like a kaleidoscope, and finally stopped at disbelief.

"Are you sure you heard it right? Huo Xiao and the emperor's sister."

Wu Jixiang swallowed his saliva and said, "Your Majesty, I have confirmed it several times, it is... this is it."

"No!" The emperor raised his hand. "Didn't you say that Grand Secretary Shen also went? Are you sure it was Huo Xiao who went to Hibiscus Pond with the imperial sister, not Shen Qiu Nian?"

"Absolutely true." Wu Jixiang paused, "And... and General Huo got his clothes wet, and the princess even gave him a set of your underwear as a reward."

The emperor choked on a mouthful of water and started coughing violently.

"Wha…what?"

Su Yunyao slept very soundly this time.

I slept until noon.

Hearing the movement in the bedroom, Coral, Pearl and Agate walked in one after another.

"Princess, you're finally awake. General Huo has been waiting for you outside for almost half an hour."

Huo Xiao?

Su Yunyao yawned lazily, "Why is he here at this time?"

"Princess, please don't be angry if you find out something. The King of Xijing has submitted a petition to Daxia to ask for the hand of the eldest princess. You..."

Su Yunyao yawned again, "King of Xijing? Is he handsome?"

Coral, pearl, agate: ...

"Princess, the King of Xijing is over fifty years old, older than the previous emperor. I heard he has a strange habit of torturing young women. People in the harem are tortured to death every now and then. The princess who was sent to marry a foreign prince died after only three years in Xijing. I heard she was tortured to death."

Su Yunyao: ...

This old guy is just a toad looking for a frog, and he is ugly and looking for a flower to play with.

Su Yunyao pretended to cry, "Let my royal brother ask her what she likes about me, and I'll change it right away!"

"Princess, there's no need to ask the Emperor. General Huo, upon hearing about this, has volunteered to lead his troops to destroy Xijing. He's probably come here to say goodbye to you."

Su Yunyao silently gave him a thumbs up in her heart.

He is truly the man this princess wants to sleep with.

"Where did you say he was?"

"To answer the princess, it's in the backyard."

Su Yunyao glanced around, dipped her fingertips in the water of the tea bowl, and wiped the water on the corners of her eyes.

"General Huo..."

Coral, pearl, agate: ...

When she pushed the door open and went out, Huo Xiao stood with his back to her.

He turned his head when he heard the voice, and the next second Su Yunyao threw herself into his arms.

Huo Xiao probably didn't expect that the eldest princess would run over and hug him.

He opened his hands subconsciously and stood there in a daze.

"General Huo, you also know that this princess will be sent to marry by that ruthless emperor's brother, and you came here specifically to say goodbye to me?"

Huo Xiao was startled by her pounce, and a blush quietly crept up his cheeks.

For a while.

His body gradually relaxed, and one hand covered Su Yunyao's back.

"Princess, rest assured. I will never allow you to go to Xijing for a marriage."

After a pause, he continued.

"However, I have indeed come to bid farewell to the princess. Tomorrow morning, I will lead my troops to attack Xijing."

Su Yunyao was not surprised.

Coral had just told her about this.

But at this moment, she still pretended not to know, rubbed her cheek against Huo Xiao's chest, and asked coquettishly, "How long will it take?"

She seemed to be feeling very insecure and held his arms tighter.

Huo Xiao could not resist her teasing. His already red cheeks turned even redder and his brain went blank.

"Princess...at the fastest, it will take a month. If it's slow, the return date is uncertain."

Uncertain return date?

Hear these four words.

Su Yunyao's expression changed.

She stood up straight and looked up at him.

"What do you mean? General Huo intends to perish together with Xijing?"

Huo Xiao: ???

His return date is uncertain, and he himself doesn't know how long this battle will end.

After all, although Xijing is not a big country, it is rich in resources and relatively wealthy.

Where there is money, both soldiers and weapons and equipment are the best.

In wars, victory is often not determined by who has more people.

In addition to some strategies, what matters more is money and strength.

If Xijing was so easy to conquer, there wouldn't have been these five years of Daxia... and certainly not...

Thinking of this, Huo Xiao's eyelashes trembled slightly.

He didn't want to say too much at a time like this, he just wanted to hold the eldest princess quietly.

This time, I’m afraid I won’t be able to see the eldest princess for a long time.

I want to say goodbye to her properly...

Huo Xiao tightened his arms around her back, holding her completely in his embrace.

"Will the princess miss me?"

Huo Xiao's disheartened look stunned Su Yunyao, who was just acting.

Could it be that she really guessed it right?

"If that's the case, then there's no need to fight this war. Just let me go and marry him. How can I just sit there and watch the man I love die for me?"

"Princess, what did you say?"

Huo Xiaotong loosened his arms around her, and his heart was shaken.

How could I watch the man I love die for me?

so……

Is he the man the princess loves?

The impact of this sentence was so great that his heart began to beat violently.

He said nothing, just hugged her tightly.

Su Yunyao blinked her eyes. Although no tears came out, the tears that had just been wiped off her face had not dried yet.

As long as the expression is right, it still looks quite sad.

"General Huo..."

Su Yunyao threw herself into his arms again.

She could hear his heartbeat, pounding against her eardrums.

The rise and fall of his chest gradually intensified, and his warm breath fell on her neck, seeming to be getting more and more urgent.

"General Huo, are you scared? Why is your heart beating so fast?"

A question mark slowly appeared above Huo Xiao’s head.

Fear?

These two words do not exist in Huo Xiao's dictionary.

only……

Huo Xiao laughed and shook his head, "I'm afraid that the princess will forget me after I leave."

Su Yunyao: ...

"Alright, don't make it a life-or-death situation. General Huo is brave and skilled in battle, and he is both courageous and resourceful. This princess believes that General Huo will win the battle in Xijing!"

A glimmer of light flashed across Huo Xiao's eyes, "I will definitely fulfill my mission."

Su Yunyao loosened her arms around his waist and slightly distanced herself from him. "Let my brother worry about the attack on Xijing. Now that General Huo has come to the Princess's residence, we should do what needs to be done."
