He was serious.

He has always been serious about her.

She was his only obsession.

Qin Ye felt like there was something stuck in his throat. If he took out his heart, it would be like exposing his fatal weakness to her, and it would also be like handing his life into her hands.

It was easy for her to control him.

But she found that she couldn't do this cruel thing...

Zong Zhengli, maybe there is nothing wrong with your love, and there is nothing wrong between Zong Zhengchen and me, but you came between me and Zong Zhengchen, and you were one step late.

Back then, when I was Princess Chen, you shouldn't have had this thought and started this.

One wrong step, all wrong...

.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was five days later.

The day of expedition.

The army gathered outside the city, a dark mass like a black wave, exuding a heavy, oppressive atmosphere. Zong Zhengli put on light armor and led the three armies, bursting with heroism and unparalleled sharpness.

Officials bid farewell:

"May the Emperor have a safe journey, wipe out the traitors and return triumphantly!"

The loud cheers reached the sky, lingering for a long time and stirring people's hearts.

Armies raise their weapons:

"kill!"

"kill!"

Full of morale.

Due to Qin Ye's special status as the former Princess of Chen, she did not show up to see them off. Qin Jiaojiao did come, but Zong Zhengli did not show any reluctance to leave and did not even look at her before leading his troops to set off.

Go!

Battle of Tianshu City!

The army is marching.

Along the way, every half an hour, a new battle report would be delivered, one after another:

"Report! Your Majesty, Prince Chen's army is approaching Tianshu City and will arrive in less than half a day!"

"Report, Your Majesty, King Chen has deployed approximately 50,000 troops, divided into 12 groups. We have detected seven groups so far, and the whereabouts of the other five groups are unknown."

"Report..."

Fast horses came in droves, bringing news.

Zong Zhengli sat on the horse, moving in an orderly manner, holding an open map in his hand and reading it as he walked.

Based on all the battle reports, the corresponding locations were marked on the map, and King Chen's marching plan was speculated.

Walked for half a day.

He suddenly realized something and asked the messenger:

"No news from Nanyuan Country?"

Half a month ago, Princess Nanyuan arrived in Jiangnan and met with Zong Zhengchen.

They should be cooperating.

The battle of Tianshu City and the intervention of Nanyuan Kingdom should not be taken lightly.

Xin Bing shook his head, "We have not detected any movement from Nanyuan Nation yet."

Zong Zhengli frowned, closed the map, and said in a cold voice:

"Investigate again and report back."

"yes!"

.

Dongling Palace.

Zong Zhengli left, and most of the spies who were placed around him also left. The imperial palace was now like a deserted place for Qin Ye. The seemingly strict guards at the city gates had already opened their doors because of Zong Zhengli's departure.

She waited for this day for half a year.

Qin Ye secretly went to the imperial study and took away some things quietly.

Return to Zhaoyang Palace.

After dinner, night falls. Because of the darkness, many things are blurry and unclear. It is a good time to do things.

Qin Ye picked up the energetic Zong Zheng Ziye and touched his head:

"Why don't you call me daddy?"

Xiao Ziye opened his eyes and said, "Ah?"

"Call me daddy."

"Milk~~"

“…”

The little rascal is already half a year old, but he always snuggles in her arms.

"Be good later, don't cry, don't make a fuss, mommy will take you to find daddy, understand?"

"ah?"

Xiao Ziye tilted his head, as if thinking about her words. After two seconds, his eyes lit up, and he hugged her chest with both hands, sticking to her clothes:

"Nu~nu…"
