Chapter 186 Back to the Palace
For two consecutive days, Ye Lingchen went to see Yue Cen every day, but was still stopped outside the door, and the reason remained the same.
He became more and more worried and more and more guilty.
Is Yue Cen injured? Or was she really hurt by him?
He tried to meet with Yue Cen under the pretext of discussing tactics, but Yue Cen sent a general to discuss military intelligence with him.
Does this mean you don't plan to see him again?
When thinking of this, Ye Lingchen felt uneasy...
"Your Highness, what's wrong with you?" The general of Yue Kingdom was surprised to see Ye Lingchen looking absent-minded.
Ye Lingchen suddenly came back to his senses and coughed awkwardly: "The King is fine."
After a pause, he spoke again: "To be honest, I am not good at fighting. Everything will be done according to the general's instructions. I trust the emperor, and naturally I also trust the general."
"Your Highness is too modest. If you hadn't sent someone to get the information in time, I wouldn't have been able to formulate a response plan so quickly." The general smiled and replied, "Since Your Highness has no objection, I will give the order immediately."
Ye Lingchen really wanted to focus on discussing military intelligence, but when he heard about spying, he couldn't help but think of Yue Cen.
His heart was instantly filled with turmoil, and he clenched his fists tightly to prevent it from showing on his face.
After seeing the general off, he also went out and headed straight for Yue Cen's tent.
He was determined to see Yue Cen even if he had to force his way in.
He really couldn't bear it anymore, he had to see Yue Cen and find out what was going on!
This time the soldiers guarding the tent did not stop him, because Yue Cen had returned to the palace...
"When did it happen?" Ye Lingchen was stunned for a long time before he widened his eyes and asked, "Why did the emperor return to the palace? What happened?"
The soldier followed the order and replied slowly: "Your Highness, the emperor just left an hour ago, saying that he was going back to the palace to deal with some government affairs."
"Political affairs? What political affairs?" Ye Lingchen didn't believe it. He felt that Yue Cen was just avoiding him!
The soldier didn't expect Ye Lingchen to be so excited and couldn't help but look up.
Ye Lingchen was stunned by the look, and only then did he realize how rude and weird he was.
He calmed down instantly. He was from the Night Country. Why did he interfere in the affairs of the Moon Country?
And it’s also a political matter...
Speaking of government affairs, he couldn't help but realize that Yue Cen didn't need to go to the battle himself, he could just send someone.
After all, as an emperor he has a lot of things to do, and fighting is so energy-consuming.
Could it be that Yue Cen went into battle personally just for him?
Damn it! Why hadn't he realized it before?
If he knew, he would stop it.
If he knew... he wouldn't treat Yue Cen like this...
Guilt and self-blame reach their peak at this time, and uneasy feelings become more and more obvious.
He was afraid. He was afraid that Yue Cen would never see him again.
The soldiers were frightened by Ye Lingchen's dazed look. The emperor had instructed them before he left that they should treat Ye Lingchen the same way they treated him. If anyone dared to disrespect Ye Lingchen, it would be equivalent to disrespecting him.
"Your Highness..." the soldier asked carefully, "Are you okay?"
Ye Lingchen didn't say anything, but waved his hand weakly and turned to leave.
The soldier became even more worried and hesitated whether to ask again, but Ye Lingchen looked like he didn't want to be disturbed by anyone.
He hesitated for a moment, then suddenly turned and went into the tent.
Before leaving, the emperor gave many instructions, one of which was that if there was anything unusual happening to His Royal Highness Prince Ning, it must be reported in a timely manner.
Ye Lingchen walked back to the tent with unsteady steps. The soldiers on the road saluted him, but he ignored any of them and didn't even wave his hand.
He walked straight to the bed, sat down, and then leaned back as if he had no bones, collapsing directly on the bed.
As the back of my head fell on the bed, tears burst out as if they had heard a command.
He rarely cried since he was a child. After all, he is a man, how could he cry?
Especially when growing up in a place like the palace, one learns how to hide emotions at a very young age.
So he always gives people the impression of being sunny, cheerful and extroverted.
But now I don’t know what happened, because Yue Cen, a man, actually cried like a shrew.
If it were usual, he would have wiped away his tears immediately and scolded himself.
But at this moment, he couldn't do it.
Because he was in so much pain, if he wasn't allowed to cry, he might suffocate to death.
But the consequence of indulging myself is that my eyes become swollen like peaches.
Ye Lingchen was dumbfounded when he looked at his disheveled self in the mirror.
We have to go to war early tomorrow morning, so what's the point of him looking like this?
I don’t know if it was because God couldn’t stand it anymore, but the war suddenly took a turn.
"Your Highness, the Regent has a letter for you!" A loud voice suddenly sounded outside the tent.
Ye Lingchen was stunned at first, then he rushed to the tent door immediately after he realized what was happening.
He also forgot how scary he looked at the moment and simply opened the door and took the letter.
After opening it in a few seconds, he began to read it quickly.
He had a hunch that the letter must be related to the war.
As expected! The State of Yan surrendered!
"Pass on my order!" Ye Lingchen shouted excitedly: "Yan Kingdom has surrendered, the attack plan is cancelled!"
As soon as the words fell, everyone cheered happily.
No one likes to fight, even the bravest warriors. This is undoubtedly the best news for them.
"Your Highness...your face..." The soldier closest to Ye Lingchen suddenly looked shocked.
Ye Lingchen finally reacted and felt extremely embarrassed.
But he couldn't show it, so he could only pretend to be serious and said, "The king is fine."
Seeing Ye Lingchen's gloomy face, the soldier dared not ask any more questions and lowered his head nervously.
"Pass the order down." Ye Lingchen had an unreasonable tone as if he had done something wrong and was blaming others: "Although Yan State has said it surrenders, we still cannot let our guard down and continue to be on high alert!"
"yes!"
Ye Lingchen returned to the tent in a panic. As if he was worried, he read Ye Linghan's letter carefully again. Only after confirming that he had read it correctly did he breathe a sigh of relief.
When he received Ye Linghan's order to go to war, he was still worried that he would not do well.
I didn't expect the war to end like this, it's great.
A long-lost smile appeared on his face, but froze the next moment.
He should tell Yue Cen immediately, why is he just laughing foolishly?
Thinking of this, he hurried to the table and prepared to write a letter to Yue Cen.
As he pulled out the chair, he changed his mind.
Why write a letter? He should go there himself.
Anyway, the war situation is stable now, so it’s okay for him to leave for two days.
Most importantly, he had something else to say to Yue Cen...
Ye Lingchen left as soon as he said he would, without even pushing the chair back. However, before leaving, he went back to the mirror and tidied his appearance before going out again.
Yue Cen said that he returned to the palace to handle government affairs not entirely to avoid Ye Lingchen, he did have a lot of things to deal with.
Since returning to the palace, he has been busy reviewing memorials and meeting with ministers, and has not had a moment of leisure.
When he was almost dying of exhaustion, he suddenly heard that Ye Lingchen had arrived.
Yue Cen opened his eyes, and his eyes, which had been dull and lifeless just now, were instantly full of brilliance again.
