Chapter 182: Made in Heaven
Xiao Chenglan informed the minister of the Ministry of War about the expedition to attack Yuelin.
The Minister of War appeared calm, but applauded in his heart.
The original Northern Expedition strategy was plagued by thorny issues and had yet to be finalized. Yuelin's territory, though small, spans a vast expanse. His Majesty, mindful of Yuelin's voluntary submission, did not intend to attack them. He also did not wish to use Yuelin's territory to avoid alarming their troops and civilians, so he decided to adopt a detour.
Although this is still a feasible option, considering the direction of the mountains, the terrain, the offensive and defensive issues, and the marching issues, taking a detour is always worse than going straight.
Now that His Majesty has changed his mind, many problems can be easily solved by going all the way from Yuelin.
In front of the war sand table, Xiao Chenglan pinched a small red flag with the word "Ye" written on it with his slender knuckles and placed it on the location of Yuelin Kingdom. The matter was finalized.
Xuan Mo came to the audience carrying a black bag. Xiao Chenglan glanced at everyone in the hall and motioned Xuan Mo to show it to them.
The hall was filled with the smell of blood and the king's silent rage.
Xiao Chenglan spoke, his tone cold and chilling. "The Yuelin envoy originally came to learn Central Plains medicine and improve diplomatic relations between our two countries. Instead, he performed witchcraft on my queen in the imperial palace. The Yuelin royal court is truly frivolous in sending a person of such despicable character to Daye. There is no turning back once we send troops to Yuelin. After this head is delivered to Yuelin as quickly as possible, the Ministry of War is forbidden to submit any peace documents from Yuelin. Those who violate this order will be dismissed from their posts, expelled from the capital, and their descendants will never be allowed to return."
Everyone knew what was going on.
No wonder His Majesty is so angry. They even dared to use Gu on the Empress. They really don't know their place. It would be better to beat them so hard that they run away in fear.
"Your Highness obeys your command."
After Xiao Chenglan explained the matter in detail, he rushed back to Changyang Palace. He was very afraid that Jiang Yingli would wake up while he was away.
She must have felt extremely helpless when she searched for him in the middle of the night last night. He couldn't be away at this time.
Fortunately, Jiang Yingli was still asleep when he returned to the palace.
Xiao Chenglan sat on the edge of the couch, not having the heart to disturb her, yet unable to resist the urge to touch her face.
Jiang Yingli's consciousness gradually became clearer in the haze, and even her heavy body became much lighter.
She could feel herself lying in a warm bed, sleeping comfortably.
Someone kept poking her face.
She reached out to grab him, and turned over impatiently. Xiao Chenglan was pulled forward by her fingers, his chest pressed against her back, and their body temperatures were exchanged through the clothes.
Jiang Yingli felt that not only did she fail to drive away the annoying mosquito, but she also summoned something heavy to bury itself in the crook of her neck.
She half opened her eyes and looked back. She saw a furry head, and the most immediate thing that caught her eye was a perfect face without any flaws.
The eyes that were staring at her quietly were filled with emotions, including longing and unspeakable grievances.
"Your Majesty..." Jiang Yingli murmured softly.
Her memory returned, and the string in her brain suddenly broke.
Thinking of how she had neglected her Majesty these days, she was overwhelmed by great sadness, her eyelashes trembled, and tears burst out instantly.
She came back to her senses and hugged Xiao Chenglan's neck, crying tremblingly: "I'm sorry, Your Majesty... These days, I have made Your Majesty sad... Wuwuwu..."
Xiao Chenglan held her tightly in his arms, rubbing her temples constantly, his hands tracing her back inch by inch, as if he was holding a treasure that had been lost and found again.
"This isn't your fault. Wenren Yue put a spell on you, making you focus all your attention on Lin'er."
"No wonder I feel anxious when I can't see Lin'er. So that's why." Jiang Yingli pounded the bed in anger. "Why is he so mean? Can't he bear to see me and Your Majesty being so affectionate? Did Your Majesty kill him?"
"Don't worry, you're already dead. No one will have the chance to hurt you again." Xiao Chenglan gently wiped away the tears that were streaming down Jiang Yingli's temples.
Jiang Yingli opened her tearful eyes and looked up at Xiao Chenglan from his embrace. She caressed his cheek lovingly and said distressedly, "Your Majesty, please forget what happened in the past month. It is not my intention to push Your Majesty away."
Xiao Chenglan nodded in her palm, a faint smile on his lips: "I know, you love me the most, I have always known it."
Jiang Yingli kissed his cheek, "Your Majesty was so sad last night that he returned to Prince Su's Mansion alone. I don't know how to make up for the pain Your Majesty suffered."
Xiao Chenglan pecked the corners of her tear-red eyes: "No need to make amends, as long as you continue to love me, my heart will no longer be sad."
"Your Majesty, how can you be so easy to comfort? You've been sad for so long, and I can comfort you and you'll be fine." Jiang Yingli held his face and saw that the gloom in his eyes had disappeared, and he was filled with the joy of regaining what he had lost.
"Because I love you, I love you very much." Xiao Chenglan looked into her eyes and whispered firmly and gently.
Hearing Xiao Chenglan's passionate confession, Jiang Yingli's heart beat uncontrollably fast.
She was a little shy, and her face was stained with tears and turned red after crying.
In the past, His Majesty did things without saying anything. He bought her beautiful hairpins and skirts, demolished the idle houses in the palace to make a garden for her, asked her if she missed him when he missed her, and when he liked her to the extreme, he would simply carry her to the couch and make love with her, their hearts beating in unison.
When he should have learned to express love, all he received was malice. The word "love" was just a ridiculous joke to him.
Now this word is no longer unfamiliar to him, it has become passionate and romantic, and he can say it with cherishment.
very nice.
He is no longer ashamed to talk about love, and she will no longer humble herself to the dust for a little love.
They have both received enough love to support themselves in facing everything, and they are a match made in heaven.
"I love your majesty too." Jiang Yingli hugged him tightly with tears in her eyes.
