At night.
Ning Que sat on the eaves.
Feeling the cold wind, looking at the vast starry sky.
"Husband, you are here indeed."
"Why are you here too?" Ning Que quickly pulled Shen Qinghe up. Seeing her bulging belly, he couldn't help but shake his head and said, "You're having trouble moving now, so you have to be careful at all times. Don't climb up and down."
"Okay, I know."
Shen Qinghe nodded.
He raised his hand and poked Ning Que's face.
"Just stop looking so sullen."
"The children will learn from this when they see it."
"Okay, okay...I'll do as you say..."
Ning Que couldn't help but smile.
Seeing that she was wearing thin clothes, he held her in his arms.
"You, you just can't take care of yourself."
"How can I feel at ease in the future?"
"Then you must live well." Shen Qinghe smiled and said softly, "As long as you are okay, I will be relieved."
"I will."
Ning Que sniffed the faint body fragrance.
Holding Shen Qinghe in his arms, his mind was filled with thoughts.
"I have already asked them to prepare for going to sea."
"When the spring winds are suitable, we must go to Goguryeo."
"My cousin also said that."
"My uncle has completed the task."
"The main force of Goguryeo has been attracted."
"The two armies are at a standoff, neither side is giving in."
"I must take advantage of the fact that Goguryeo's rear is empty and land there. Then, with my main force and my uncle, we can attack from both the north and the south and capture the Goguryeo royal city."
"Um……"
Shen Qinghe just changed to a more comfortable posture.
He hummed and hawed, but didn't say much.
"I'm just worried you might get hurt."
"You'll have to fake your own death then."
"It'll be fine."
Ning Que smiled.
He held Shen Qinghe's little hand tightly.
"Qinghe, it's great to have you."
"Then you must come back alive!" Shen Qinghe turned around and whispered, "You have the Shenji Pavilion behind you to fully support you. You don't have to feel any psychological burden. This is all Emperor Feng's fault. He has failed your brotherhood. If it weren't for you, he wouldn't have been able to sit on the throne. When the previous emperor died, the old Prince of Ning could have easily usurped the throne. It was because of his brotherhood that he supported Emperor Feng's ascension. He has made a serious mistake. You can't be soft-hearted anymore. This concerns the lives of many people."
"Yeah, I know."
Ning Que smiled and nodded.
From the moment he made the decision, he and Emperor Feng were no longer related, and they were mortal enemies from then on.
"Let me tell you, the Fengdi people were really good back then."
"He was humiliated in the palace and his body was covered with wounds."
"I tried my best, but the late emperor didn't take me seriously."
"Just because he was bullied by the former crown prince and fought back a little too hard, he was severely punished by the late emperor. And the empress dowager, you have seen how good she is to us, even better than the emperor. But now, I really can't recognize her anymore..."
Ning Que sighed.
Looking into the distance, he shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"I know that the imperial family is the most ruthless. But I never thought that my brother, who grew up with me, would end up like this. From the very beginning, he contacted me, it was to obtain the protection of the Ning Palace. Later, he followed my father and brother to recapture Yanyun, and it was also to harm the former crown prince. I'm afraid he was also involved in the death of the previous emperor. He even went to the Jingyang military camp specifically to clear himself of suspicion."
“Human nature is the most difficult to predict.”
"It's not your fault."
"You have a pure heart, which is a good thing."
"It was the Emperor Feng and the Queen Mother who failed you."
Shen Qinghe reminded him, whispering, "My father was disgusted with the world and chose to go to Kunlun Mountain alone because he saw through human nature. He was once a comrade who fought for his ideals together, but was eventually corrupted by power. He made a vow when he first ascended the throne, but later became addicted to wine and sex..."
"People will change eventually!"
"yes……"
Ning Que smiled bitterly and nodded.
If it really had changed, he would feel better.
But Emperor Feng has never changed from beginning to end!
They've been taking advantage of them since the beginning!
"Actually, this is quite good." Shen Qinghe laughed and raised her hand. "Given your abilities and achievements, you will sooner or later become a thorn in the side of Emperor Feng. Everyone knows what Emperor Feng is thinking. What he wants most is to reduce the power of the vassal states. If he is going to reduce the power of the vassal states, why would he only target the kings of other surnames? To Emperor Feng, you may be the biggest obstacle. Now that you have recognized the reality, there is no need to dwell on it."
"Um!"
Ning Que stood up with a smile.
"Ma'am, it's time for us to go to bed..."
…
…
The next day.
Ning Que stretched comfortably.
Looking at Shen Qinghe who was still sleeping soundly.
A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Your Majesty, let us wash you."
"Um."
Ning Que spread out his hands.
Qingfeng Mingyue came forward to serve.
"You all should be gentler."
"Don't disturb the princess's rest."
"I'm going out for a walk today."
"When she wakes up later, remember to invite Uncle Chang to come see her. You can have him stay for lunch, as I have something else to talk to him about then."
"Yes." Qingfeng helped Ning Que change his clothes and said with a smile, "The Prince and the Princess have a very good relationship."
"Isn't this what should be done?"
Ning Que smiled.
After a quick breakfast, he left the palace and rode out of the city. He was planning to visit the port; after all, he was about to continue his eastern expedition, and he needed to see how the warships were doing. He also wanted to check on the workshops; he'd heard there had been a lot of trouble in the past few days.
Ning Que got off the carriage early.
