Hearing that, Xue Mier was overjoyed, this was great, this way she could experience the cruelty of war on the battlefield.
In her heart, she thought that she had finally made a contribution to East Court.
After Xue Mier left, Hu Xiao hurriedly changed her clothes and came to Qin Shuo’s Bedchamber immediately.
Even someone like Xue Mier didn’t want to be a piece of trash and wanted to contribute to the sect. As the empress of East Court, she had to at least show some gratitude!
"Qin Shuo, there is something that I need to discuss with you." Hu Xiao pushed open the door, and before she even stepped into the room, a loud and clear voice rang out.
Hearing her voice, Qin Shuo subconsciously raised his head. He looked at Hu Xiao with joyful eyes, and then asked doubtfully: "Xiaoxiao, what plans do you have now?"
Hu Xiao often disregarded common sense in playing cards, which gave Qin Shuo a pleasant and headache.
"I want to join the war." Hu Xiao raised her head, and said smilingly, "I have been seriously considering it, the South Yue is my parents’ home, I have to personally lead the troops there, only then will I feel at ease."
"Xiaoxiao, all of the generals of East Court have gone through hundreds of battles. You don’t have to worry about this, if you hand this matter over to them, it will definitely be successful." Qin Shuo understood her words according to their meaning, he simply could not see through Hu Xiao’s desperate situation.
Hu Xiao closed the door and she went in front of Qin Shuo casually, and said: "Qin Shuo, I don’t want to waste my talent, look at how Xue Mier has requested to participate in the battle. As the Queen, I cannot be weaker than her!"
Hu Xiao shrugged her shoulders, her attitude resolute and resolute, "I want to show off my skills in front of the Minister Wen and the others. Hmph, you call me the Demon Empress in private every single day, and once I extinguish my North Qiang, I’ll see if they still dare to scold me as the Demon Empress."
No, it was too dangerous. These words flashed past Qin Shuo’s mind.
He blurted out, "No, smile. It’s too dangerous."
To go out to war was not like going to the south to manage a water hazard. Sabres and swords did not have eyes, so perhaps something bad would happen to them one day.
"I’m not afraid, Qin Shuo. I was born to be a material for fighting, and I only wish that I wasn’t a man. Otherwise, I would have entered the battle a long time ago." While speaking, Hu Xiao placed her hands on her hips and continued, "You can’t be condescending, this is against the heavens, there will be retribution."
She was born to fight, not to be happy in the palace.
Xiaoxiao, you stay in the palace obediently and don’t go anywhere. You don’t have to worry about the South Yue, I will settle it for you. " Qin Shuo put his hands on Hu Xiao’s shoulders. No matter what, he would not allow Hu Xiao to lead her men into the battle.
Just as Hu Xiao was about to lose her temper, a voice suddenly sounded out in her mind: "This matter cannot be rushed, just take it slow!"
As if she was awakened, Hu Xiao suddenly smiled, nodded and cutely said: "Alright, I’ll go back first."
Looking at her leaving figure, Qin Shuo was surprised in his heart. He secretly thought, what was wrong with laughing, why was it so easy to talk to me today?
However, since Hu Xiao had compromised and left, there was no need for him to stop Hu Xiao.
Qin Shuo pursed his lips and muttered: "I’ll have to go to the Phoenix Perching Palace to see her later, don’t let her secretly leave."
Qin Shuo was afraid that Hu Xiao would use this trick on him the most. If Hu Xiao left, then who else could he go to get a wife for?
Before he even went over, someone had already invited him over for dinner when dusk was about to fall.
"Your majesty, the Empress has prepared a table of food and is waiting for you to pass." Zhi Lan said smilingly. Her voice was light and full of vitality, as if she had a happy occasion.
Qin Shuo was skeptical, but he did not ask any further questions and directly followed Zhi Lan over.
Before even reaching Phoenix Perching Palace, he smelled the fragrance of food. The familiar smell caused Qin Shuo’s heart to palpitate.
"Qin Shuo, why are you standing, why aren’t you sitting down?" Hu Xiao waved her hand at Qin Shuo, and continued speaking, "I am thanking you, for agreeing to send the troops, this is the most fatal strike to North Qiang."
Hearing this, Qin Shuo immediately calmed down, his mouth raised in a smile, and nodded as he sat down.
Hu Xiao did not stop to prepare food for Qin Shuo, just like how a master would treat his guests.
"Xiao-Xiao, you should eat too!" Saying that, Qin Shuo picked up a piece of Red Braised Meat for Hu Xiao, "Xiao-Xiao, are you blaming me for not letting you go?"
Qin Shuo drank some wine, his handsome face slowly turning red. As he ate, he asked seriously.
"You want to hear the truth?" Seeing Qin Shuo nod his head, she said solemnly, "How can I not be weird? The South Yue is my mother’s, I want to personally lead the troops over, that way I can truly display my power."
Hearing this, Qin Shuo was silent for a moment, then he said in a low and deep voice that was filled with magnetism: "Xiao-Xiao, I can’t bear for you to be injured, more so, I can’t bear for you to leave me."
These were the words in Qin Shuo’s heart, he did not want to see Hu Xiao covered in wounds, and even more so, he did not want to hear the news of Hu Xiao’s death. He only wanted Hu Xiao to be safe by her side.
"Qin Shuo, if I am unable to protect myself, then I am not worthy to be by your side. In the eyes of the world, you are a courageous, young and capable monarch, and I am a Demon Empress who will harm countries." Hu Xiao laughed helplessly, "So I have to prove myself with my ability, and take off the name of the Demon Empress."
Silence reigned in the air as the two of them drank their wine without saying a word.
Since Qin Shuo didn’t speak, Hu Xiao naturally wouldn’t force him to agree.
"Qin Shuo, it’s getting late, we should go to bed." Hu Xiao gently shook the cup in her hand, causing the wine in the cup to swirl in the cup, and occasionally spilled a drop or two.
"I promise you." Suddenly, Qin Shuo opened his mouth and said, "Xiaoxiao, you must also promise me, to protect yourself."
As soon as he finished speaking, the corner of Hu Xiao’s mouth curved up. He had finally achieved his objective for the night.
She nodded her head and promised: "Okay, I will. Qin Shuo, thank you."
At this time, Hu Xiao was just like the afternoon Xue Mier, happy to fly.
The next morning, Hu Xiao woke up from her sweet dreams, and the moment she opened her eyes, she was startled by Qin Shuo who was standing beside the bed.
She suddenly widened her eyes and fearfully asked, "Qin Shuo ... "What are you doing? Why are you standing by my bed?"
What the hell, standing by her bed so early in the morning and not sleeping to scare her?
Are all Emperors so free these days?
At this time, Qin Shuo cleared his throat and said: "Xiao-Xiao, I will tell you in all sincerity, I love you. In this life, the only person I truly love to the bone marrow is you."
These words brushed away Hu Xiao’s drowsiness, causing him to slightly open her mouth, and her heart was filled with joy.
Before she had the chance to speak, Qin Shuo continued, "Xiao-Xiao, you can only be mine in this life, no one can take it away from you."
