When the sky was about to brighten and darken and everything was quiet, Zong Zhengchen stood up very quietly and left.

He thought Qin Ye was asleep.

Actually…

Qin Ye was more sober than anyone else at the moment, but she pretended to be asleep. She was worried that once she opened her mouth or stood up, she would lose control of her emotions and would be reluctant to let him go.

Listening to the man's footsteps gradually fading away...

Tears fell silently.

Soak the pillow and apply warm water.

a long time.

After he calmed down a little, he stood up, put on his coat, opened the door and walked out.

"Princess, it's still early. Are you going to get up?" asked Yue'er who was guarding the door.

"The prince should be ready soon, let me wash up, I will go and see him off."

.

At this time, the military camp was indeed counting the troops, but it was Han Ying who was counting the troops, while Prince Chen, who was leading the army to the battle, appeared in Prince Jue's mansion.

"Seventh?"

King Jue was still sleeping. When he saw the man lurking towards him silently, he woke up instantly and became a little alert.

Zong Zhengchen stood with his hands behind his back in front of the window and spoke coldly:

"Third brother, I call you my elder brother. You should know that I have never been against you over the years, nor do I want to fight with you."

The emperor taught since childhood that it is taboo for brothers to kill each other.

He always kept it in mind.

Later, because he had a wife and children, these people went too far, and he had to take action to protect them.

"I know you want to go to war, to gain military merit, and to prove your strength to the emperor."

The man looked at the King, the light in his dark eyes gradually deepened:

"I'll give you a chance, how about that?"

King Jue was stunned, "You mean..."

.

Daybreak.

Today, the sun is shining, the sky is clear and the air is fresh. It is a brand new day.

Outside the city, the three armies gathered in a large black mass, like a black wave. The 30,000 Shadow Guards stood in neat rows, and their overall morale was majestic.

When Prince Chen went to the battlefield, the Emperor personally saw him off, and all the ministers in the court were present.

On horseback, Zong Zhengchen was dressed in a black suit, with his hair tied up high, and a fierce spirit bursting from his body. He was at the head of the three armies, and under the high-flying flag, he was in high spirits.

Officials bid farewell:

"I wish His Royal Highness Prince Chen a successful start and a safe journey!"

“Return triumphantly soon!”

"With your help, the Xiongnu in the northern border will definitely be pacified in the shortest possible time..."

They spoke in formulaic terms.

The emperor's eyes showed a light of relief. A good man has ambitions. Family is important, and people are also important. The fact that Prince Chen took the initiative to request to go to the war touched him deeply.

"Don't worry, Old Seven. I will have someone take good care of Qin Ye and make sure not a single hair will fall out. When you come back, you will be able to see your chubby and fair son."

Zong Zhengchen stared at Qin Ye.

Qin Ye stood on the high city wall.

Even though they were far away, she was keenly aware of the man's gaze.

The emotions that I had suppressed with great difficulty were about to burst out again...

It would be at least half a year since they had been apart. She suddenly regretted getting pregnant so early. If she hadn't been in a bad condition, she would have been able to travel around the world with him.

Now I just hope the baby will be born soon so I can be free sooner.

a long time.

The man withdrew his gaze. During the farewell ceremony, he took a last deep look at Qin Ye and turned his horse's head:

"Set off!"

The word "sonorous" fell down with a resounding sound.

The three armies set off!

The orderly sound of footsteps rushed straight into the sky, and the dust they created filled the field of vision. Qin Ye could hardly see the man's back.

Going further and further.

Until it is out of sight.

The emperor returned to the palace and all the officials left. She stood alone on the high city wall, looking at the empty space outside the city. She felt like a piece of her heart was hollowed out and she felt indescribably lost.
