[Emperor Chapter 27] Going to War

"Sixth Prince, have you really thought it through? Do you want to do this?"

On a path rarely traveled by people, a man and a woman stood beside a rockery, talking about something.

"Yes." Another male voice replied with a bit of coldness, "If Miss Yun can't help, just pretend that Jingchen never said it."

At a glance, the man was tall and the woman was graceful, just like a perfect couple.

"How could it be!" Yun Wan saw the man in front of her wanted to leave, and hurriedly tried to grab his wrist, but he dodged it without a trace.

The man in front of her has become even more fascinating in just two years.

Although he still looks ordinary in front of outsiders, she knows that he works harder than all the princes, and he is more strategic and talented, and is destined to be the best candidate for that position.

And his face...

Yun Wan remembered a mysterious man who was talking to the abbot in the backyard when she went to Xiangguo Temple to pray. The man looked exactly like the masked Sixth Prince, but there was no scar on his face. His eyebrows, eyes, and bones seemed to be natural and handsome.

According to the little nun, the donor was a person the abbot admired very much. During the flood, he single-handedly rescued thousands of refugee children outside the capital, and he broke the abbot's chess game at a young age, which made the abbot praise him greatly, but his identity was very mysterious.

She once suspected that the man was the Sixth Prince, but she could not confirm it.

But she believed in her intuition.

The Sixth Prince has a bright future.

Now, he should have been crowned a king like the third and fourth princes, but he seemed to be forgotten by the emperor and lived in the palace until today when he stopped her and told her that he was going to the battlefield and asked her for help.

Her father, Marquis Weiyuan, is now organizing his troops to go to the border. The enemy is ready to move, and the war will start at any time. Going to the front at this critical moment, what else is this but suicide?

This is the reason for her hesitation.

But since he has made up his mind, Yun Wan gritted her teeth: "If you really want to go to the border, I will tell my father, and the emperor will help you too!"

Jing Chen saw that his goal was achieved and did not stay any longer.

"Thank you very much, Miss Yun."

"Still call me Miss Yun?" Yun Wan stomped her feet. Concubine Rong had just asked the emperor for a marriage at the beginning of the year, and now they are an engaged couple.

"..." Jing Chen pursed his lips and clenched his fists in his sleeves, "Thank you very much, Awan."

"That's nothing," Yun Wan smiled and hooked her hair, but she couldn't say out loud the anxiety in her heart, "Then, when can you come back?"

The wedding was originally scheduled for the middle of the year, and if Jing Chen had to go to the border, everything would have to be postponed.

"Now I have nothing..." Jing Chen lowered his eyes, "When I return victorious..."

Yun Wan completed the unspoken words in her mind: Now I have nothing, I am not worthy of you... When I return victorious, I will marry you well..."

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

In fact, Jing Chen didn't make any promises.

Looking at Yun Wan's back as she ran away shyly, his eyes were red.

It's not like he did nothing in the past two years. He had already found out everything that happened.

It was this woman who caused him to lose his most precious treasure, and now he still has to forbear killing and pretend to be nice to her.

Back in the side hall, he lay on the bed, wiping his mask with one hand, while recalling what his master said.

"Jingchen, your master has nothing to teach you anymore. You still need to go out and take a good look at the world now..."

"You live in a high temple, but you don't know how big the world is. Go and see how many people in this world are suffering thousands of times more than you..."

"As an emperor, you have to be ruthless, but you still have to be compassionate in your heart."

Jingchen was actually very cold in his heart.

He wanted to say, what does those people have to do with me? He doesn't need compassion, nor does he need to care about the world.

Other people in this world have nothing to do with me... except for one person.

But for her, he is willing to take a good look at this world.

If this can bring her back.

Soon, a piece of news came from the capital.

The Sixth Prince, who has always been low-key, asked the emperor in the court for a recommendation to join the army in the expedition.

Weiyuan Marquis followed and opposed the proposal on the grounds that this action could stabilize the people's hearts and strengthen the army's morale.

In the end, the emperor agreed to the Sixth Prince's request, ordered him to be the military supervisor, and gave him a thousand personal guards to go with the army to the outside of the Great Wall.

On the other side, in the capital of Master Jiang. "

Have you thought it over? This journey is long and arduous, with many risks. Even life and death are uncertain," the old man said with disapproval, "You still want to go?"

"Wouldn't it be better to wait for him to return in Beijing?"

A woman with picturesque eyes and eyebrows in a bright yellow jacket shook her head and bowed to the old man with a smile, "Thank you for your care over the past two years, Master. No one has investigated what happened back then, and he is about to leave Beijing. Everything here is no longer a problem, and I don't have to hide anymore."

"I have taken care of him for so many years, and now that he is about to go into danger again, I will not be able to let it go if I don't go with him."

Master Jiang was helpless, "You young people are more willful than each other. Alas, I am old, and I really don't understand it. It's up to you, it's up to you."
