Qin Chuan, kneeling on the ground, stared blankly at the Empress...
His mouth dropped open, his face filled with disbelief!
Seeing his stunned expression, the Empress found it amusing and personally reminded him, "Why aren't you accepting the imperial decree and expressing your gratitude?"
These words were originally spoken by the eunuch, but seeing Qin Chuan's completely stunned expression, she couldn't help but remind him.
"Thank you for your great favor, Your Majesty! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"
Qin Chuan excitedly held the imperial edict, and the moment he stood up, only three soul-searching questions filled his mind.

Where did I come from?

"The victory banquet is ready. Soldiers, now that you're back, eat and drink to your hearts' content. I'm giving you three days off to celebrate with the nation!" The Empress finished her wine in her bowl and announced loudly.
"Long live! Long live! Long live!"
All the soldiers shouted with all their might, like a thunderous roar.
