Physician Xu had examined An Yue's coma many times, but each time he found nothing. He had tried all sorts of diagnostic methods, but still could not find the cause of the illness.
His brows were furrowed, his eyes filled with confusion and helplessness. He kept flipping through medical books and trying various possible treatments, but all to no avail.
Qin Qianlu had a vague guess in her heart that Dark Moon might have suffered extremely serious trauma, which led to her becoming a vegetable.
Faced with this situation, she was helpless and had no good solution. She could only hope for a miracle and wait for Dark Moon to wake up on its own.
As the New Year's bells rang, the capital of Tianxuan Kingdom was brightly lit and bustling with activity.
The Japanese delegation arrived as scheduled and entered the majestic court of Tianxuan Kingdom.
In the past, their requests for marriage alliances always caused dissatisfaction throughout the Tianxuan Kingdom. This time, however, they learned their lesson and only showed superficial obedience, without mentioning the matter again.
The envoys' days in the capital appeared calm on the surface, but undercurrents were surging beneath.
One night, in the dead of night, several dark figures flashed past like ghosts and quietly slipped into the guesthouse where the delegation was staying.
The envoys inside were sound asleep when suddenly the blankets were yanked off, and before they could see what was happening, their heads were tightly covered with rough cloth bags.
Immediately afterwards, fists and feet rained down on them. They struggled and screamed in terror, but only received more violent beatings in return.
After the attackers left, the envoys hurriedly tore off the cloth bags from their heads. The room was in a mess. They looked at each other, their eyes filled with fear and anger.
But the capital city is so vast that they had no way of finding out the attackers' identities.
They didn't dare ask the Emperor of Tianxuan for help in investigating, as they could clearly sense the dislike the people of Tianxuan had for them.
They could only curse in their hearts, feeling that the feng shui of the capital was absolutely terrible, causing them to suffer this unexpected disaster for no reason.
But when they thought of Tianxuan's national strength, even though they had a lot of dissatisfaction in their hearts, they could only swallow their anger and dared not do anything rash.
The festive atmosphere of New Year's Day has not completely dissipated, and the streets and alleys of the capital are still filled with joy.
However, the political situation in the imperial court suddenly changed. The emperor, sitting on his dragon throne with a cold expression, suddenly announced that he would send troops to attack Qingli Kingdom.
At first glance, the emperor's reasons for sending troops seem logical, but upon closer examination, they are full of far-fetched explanations.
Although the ministers harbored some resentment, most could only lower their heads and remain silent in the face of the emperor's majesty, daring not to easily offer any suggestions for modification.
Upon hearing the news, the second prince was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night. He had always longed to show his skills on the battlefield, to establish unparalleled achievements, and to prove his ability and worth.
This expedition was a long-awaited opportunity for him.
He carefully selected his armor, repeatedly polished his sword, and his eyes gleamed with a burning light, as if he could already see himself returning in triumph.
General Mu was also on the list of those going to war. She grew up in the military camp since childhood, was very knowledgeable about military strategy and tactics, and her martial arts skills were superb.
Over the years, she has repeatedly rushed to the border to fight against foreign enemies and made outstanding contributions.
The soldiers had great trust and expectations of her for this expedition. She knew that she bore a heavy responsibility and dared not slack off in the slightest. She trained the soldiers day and night and prepared provisions and supplies.
After learning this news, Qin Qianluo was deeply disturbed.
She longed to fight in battle, and yearned to ride a horse across the battlefield like General Mu, killing enemies and serving her country.
Now that she knows that the Second Prince and General Mu are going to war, she can no longer suppress her desire and eagerly tells her mother that she wants to go to war with the army.
Upon hearing this, the mother's face turned deathly pale, her eyes filled with terror and worry.
She held Qin Qianluo's hand tightly, her voice trembling as she said, "Luo'er, life and death are unpredictable on the battlefield. Your mother has already let you go once, how can I bear to let you risk your life again?"
Your mother's greatest wish is for you to stay in the capital safely and peacefully.
Looking at her mother's worried face, Qin Qianluo felt a pang of sadness in her heart.
She knew her mother meant well, but her longing for the battlefield made it hard for her to give up.
She pleaded desperately, but her mother's attitude was unusually firm this time, leaving no room for compromise.
In the end, Qin Qianluo had no choice but to give up the idea of going to war.
The biting wind howled, but it did nothing to dampen the enthusiastic atmosphere at the send-off ceremony.
On the city wall, battle flags fluttered in the wind, and two princes stood side by side with the emperor, behind them a group of ministers dressed in court robes, each with a different expression.
Qin Qianluo stood obediently beside Qin Xiang, her gaze fixed on Da Jun's figure.
The second prince rode a tall horse, his posture upright, while General Mu walked majestically at the head of the procession.
The soldiers marched in unison, their morale high, the sound of their footsteps mingling with the clatter of their horses' hooves, like a stirring battle song.
The ministers beside him stroked their beards, their eyes filled with anticipation, as if they could already see the glorious scene of the army's triumphant return.
Some frowned slightly, their faces showing worry, knowing full well that the battlefield is ever-changing and ruthless.
Once the army had completely disappeared from sight and the dust it had raised had gradually settled, everyone turned around and returned to the solemn and majestic Golden Palace.
Qin Qianluo took a deep breath, temporarily putting aside her concern and complex emotions for the soldiers going to war, and followed the others into the court.
The morning court session officially began, and the atmosphere instantly became solemn. A burly prefect stepped forward first.
With steady steps and a loud voice, he began to report: "Your Majesty, thanks to the care of the court and the implementation of various winter protection policies, the people of our county have safely weathered the harsh winter."
