But she had other ideas in her mind.

If she couldn't come back, Su Jingyao might have to let herself rule the country behind the scenes and become the queen mother.

As for becoming an empress, Su Jingyao didn't have such an idea.

In the five thousand years of Chinese history, there has only been one female emperor, Wu Zetian. The right time, right place and right people are all essential.

It would have been impossible for him to ascend the throne without the support of officials, cultural changes, and recognition of the people, without being in power for decades and vigorously promoting new policy changes.

Wu Zetian had been in power for so many years, but when she wanted to ascend the throne, weren't there so many court officials who opposed her?

She killed many people before she ascended the throne, and she was over sixty years old when she ascended the throne.

And in the end, he still returned the country to Li Tang.

Su Jingyao didn't want to make herself so tired, and if she had this idea, her father might not accept it.

Therefore, Su Jingyao still felt that it would be best for Jun Zechen to come back. Dealing with state affairs was too tiring and she couldn't bear the hardship.

Thinking of this, I sighed softly.

Jun Zechen gently reached out his hand and stroked her back soothingly, his eyes full of tenderness.

"Perhaps with Yaoyao's current temper, I can feel more at ease during my absence."

When she went to the Northern Expedition, she was most worried that the women in the harem would have ulterior motives and harm her.

Even if he left the Yulin Guard to her, he was afraid that the concubines' unpredictable conspiracies and plots would harm her.

Now that he knew she had the ability to protect herself, Jun Zechen felt a lot more relieved.

"Ye Clan, after I set out, you can deal with Yaoyao as you wish. I will also deal with the remnants of the Ye Clan before I go out to fight, and will not let Yaoyao fall into danger."

All the forces within the kingdom were under his control before he went on the expedition, and the only threat left was the Ye family.

The reason why the Ye family was left behind was because he had just ascended the throne, and the way he dealt with the Ye family was not glorious, so he did not kill them all.

But the Ye family was so bold that they even dared to collaborate with the enemy and commit treason, which was simply digging their own graves.

"Okay, I just hope that Your Majesty can return safely. I will also take good care of the harem and the children."

Su Jingyao raised her head slightly and looked at him firmly.

Jun Zechen sensed her worry, and a hint of sweetness rose in his heart, with the corners of his mouth rising.

"Don't worry, Yaoyao. I will definitely be able to recapture Canglang in one year." His eyes were full of confidence.

But as if he had thought of something, Jun Zechen sighed softly.

He hugged her tighter with his arms, as if he wanted to rub her into his body.

"Yaoyao's accident this time was my negligence. I never expected that Concubine Lan would collude with Ye, whom I had already sentenced to death."

"Now Concubine Lan's palace is under constant surveillance by the secret guards I have arranged. She will not have the opportunity to harm Yaoyao. After I go to war, Yaoyao can be punished in any way I want."

There was a look of guilt on his face.

"I will definitely conquer the Canglang Kingdom and give the Canglang to Yaoyao. How about you apologize?"

Jun Zechen looked at her with burning eyes.

Su Jingyao smiled.

"Okay, I want to go to Canglang to ride a horse. Can I let the Canglang royal family lead the horse for me?"

There was a playful twinkle in her eyes.

"It's their honor to be able to lead the horse for Yaoyao." Jun Zechen looked at her lovingly, his eyes full of indulgence.
