Chapter 129: It finally begins and the emperor is about to lead the army in person
No one's life is smooth and peaceful, and the emperor's life is especially full of ups and downs.
Not long after Xuanye and Xiu Yu and their entourage returned to the capital, Galdan began to make moves again.
At night, in the Yiku Palace, Xuanye was leaning on the bed. Although he was holding a book in his hand, he had no intention of reading it at all.
Xiu Yuyuan was combing her long hair in front of a peep show mirror. Seeing Xuanye's furrowed brow through the mirror, she put down the comb in her hand, stood up, walked to the bed, sat down, gently grasped Xuanye's hand, and said, "Your Majesty, are you in trouble?"
Xuanye came back to his senses, looked at Xiuyu, and said with a smile: "It's not a difficult thing, it's just the daily routine of being an emperor."
Xiu Yu pursed her lips, raised her head slightly, looked at Xuanye, and said, "Yes, Galdan?"
After living together for so many years, Xuanye was no longer surprised by Xiu Yu's perceptiveness. He sighed, "Yes, this fellow Galdan really has not changed his bad habits. He refuses to let me have a few more days of peace."
Xiu Yu sat down beside Xuanye, took the book from his hand, and said, "In short, we should stop the enemy with our troops and cover the water with earth."
"Yes." Xuanye pulled Xiu Yu into his arms. He sighed softly, his brows furrowed slightly. "I've never been afraid of Galdan, and I believe I will win and Galdan will lose. But..."
Seeing that Xuanye stopped talking, Xiu Yu was curious about what he wanted to say, but her reason told her that she shouldn't ask the word "why".
Xuanye was silent for a long while, and finally spoke: "Yu'er, do you think Yinreng is a good boy?"
Xiu Yu was slightly stunned, but in a moment, she replied: "The prince is a good child."
"Yes, he's a good boy." Xuanye seemed to have gained a lot of courage, and his slightly frowned brows relaxed a little: "After all, he grew up by my side and is the crown prince that I carefully cultivated."
As Xuanye's concubine, Xiu Yu certainly couldn't say in front of Xuanye that the child he had raised with so much effort was not a good person, but she also didn't want to say too many words that went against her own conscience, so she simply didn't say anything.
Xuanye then continued, "Galdan's actions are a provocation to me. I will personally lead the army this time and will not give him a way to retreat."
Xiu Yu knew that Xuanye would definitely lead the army in person again, so she certainly wouldn't stop him. She simply leaned slightly on Xuanye's shoulder and said firmly, "Your Majesty, please take me with you this time. I haven't been to the Southern Suburbs for a while, and I don't know if there's any new progress there. This is a good opportunity to show my skills."
After hearing what Xiu Yu said, Xuanye's originally tense nerves completely relaxed: "Even if you don't say it, I will take you with me eventually. I don't want to be separated from you, I can't bear to be separated from you." Xuanye rubbed Xiu Yu's cheek with his side face.
Xiu Yu didn't expect Xuanye to agree so readily: "Don't you say that swords have no eyes on the battlefield?"
"My Yu'er has funded the construction of so many temples over the years. Even if the Buddha doesn't bless me, he should bless you." Xuanye half-joked, "I believe that the Buddha and the Yellow Heaven Bodhisattva will stand on our side. Therefore, this time we go out to fight, we will definitely be invincible and conquer everything."
Xiu Yu laughed out loud: "I didn't know who it was just now that looked so sad."
"It's not me." No one knew when it started, but Xuanye began to like showing his temper in front of Xiu Yu. Maybe it was because he knew that no matter how unreasonable he was, Xiu Yu would indulge him.
