Ning Chenyi's feelings for Empress Xiao Wanxi were far beyond the simple affection between ordinary couples.
It was a complex and profound emotion formed by the intertwining and converging of deep respect and intense, passionate affection, like two rushing rivers.
Xiao Wanxi was born into a renowned family of military generals and grew up in the vast and boundless land of the border region from a young age.
The border is a land filled with sandstorms and war, a battlefield where the situation changes rapidly and is cruel and merciless, and also a strict yet wise mentor.
The trials of time have endowed her with insights and wisdom far exceeding those of ordinary people.
In comparison, although he was the ruler of a country, he grew up within the bustling and prosperous palace walls of the capital, enjoying supreme honor and endless wealth.
However, in many aspects, his insight was inferior to that of the empress who had weathered many storms on the frontier.
Throughout the long years, whenever the court encountered thorny and intractable problems, Ning Chenyi would always instinctively think of discussing them with her first.
Because he knew that Xiao Wanxi possessed unique upbringing, keen insight, and exceptional intelligence.
They always come up with unexpected yet highly practical ideas that seem to clear the fog and reveal the sun.
These ideas were like beacons of light suddenly illuminating a dark and hopeless situation.
This provides him with clear guidance on the challenging and unknown path of governing the country.
It gave him the motivation and courage to move forward during countless moments of confusion and bewilderment.
After recounting the whole story in detail, Ning Chenyi turned his expectant gaze to the Empress.
His eyes sparkled with a radiant light, as if in this dim and worry-ridden moment, he had found a precious ray of hope.
His eyes held both absolute trust in the Empress's wisdom and an eagerness and anxiety for a solution.
It was as if a traveler groping in the dark had spotted a faint glimmer of light in the distance.
Looking at him like this, Xiao Wanxi couldn't help but chuckle and gently shake her head. His expression was just like that of a child who was anxious and eager to find answers.
That smile was like a flower quietly blooming in spring, gentle and bright, as if it could dispel all the gloom in the world.
Then, she slowly extended her slender, jade-like, and boneless hand, her movements gentle and intimate, like a breeze caressing flower petals, and smiled as she tapped his forehead.
The touch was like a feather gently brushing against him, carrying a magical and invisible soothing power that could instantly calm his anxiety and unease.
Only then did he slowly open his mouth, his voice as clear and melodious as a mountain spring, saying, "Why is Your Majesty so worried about this matter?"
King Zhao's sincere desire to serve his people is something we all know all too well, as clearly as we know the passing of spring and the coming of autumn, the changing of the four seasons.
If she truly only wanted to escape into a peaceful life, turning a blind eye to the suffering of the people, and disregarding the plight of the masses, then what would be the point?
They would probably have left long ago without any worries or carefree living, so why would they wait until today in this chaotic and noisy world full of worldly entanglements?
After all, given King Zhao's outstanding abilities, extraordinary skills, and unrestrained nature, if she were truly determined to leave...
Indeed, no one and no force in this world can stop her.
Just as human power cannot stop the unstoppable, ever-flowing river, one can only watch helplessly as it travels into the distance.
Upon hearing the Empress's incisive words, the Emperor's tightly furrowed brows seemed to be suddenly tugged by an invisible hand.
He was stunned for a moment; time seemed to freeze and the air seemed to stand still.
His thoughts instantly plunged into a chaotic fog, his eyes revealing a moment of blankness and confusion, as if the whole world had stopped turning at that instant.
Immediately afterwards, a lightning bolt carrying the power of thunder flashed through his mind with the force of tearing through the sky.
In an instant, he felt as if he had been enlightened, and he instantly woke up from his confusion, his mind becoming clear.
That's right. If Qin Qianluo has made up her mind and is determined to leave, who in this vast world can truly stop her?
Not to mention the many military officers in the court, who had worked with Qin Qianluo for a long time.
They admired her extraordinary strategy, remarkable courage, and outstanding achievements to the skies.
In their hearts, Qin Qianluo is not only a virtuous and talented person worthy of following, but also a symbol of justice and wisdom.
He held her in deep awe and respect, so how could he easily lay a hand on her and do something so disrespectful that he would become a laughingstock to the world?
Even if there are a few arrogant individuals who are ignorant of their own limitations and blinded by greed.
Disregarding morality and shame, rashly attacking Qin Qianluo, but who can gain the upper hand in front of Qin Qianluo?
Yao Guang, who was beside Qin Qianluo, was no ordinary person.
For many years, Yao Guang has been a constant companion to Qin Qianluo, like a loyal guardian spirit. Her martial arts skills are superb, reaching a level of unparalleled mastery.
Every move and stance contains profound skill and unique rhythm, flowing naturally like clouds and water, yet unstoppable like thunder.
When protecting Qin Qianluo, Yaoguang was completely focused and devoted herself wholeheartedly, and every little action showed her unwavering loyalty to Qin Qianluo.
