"woke up?"
Chen Qingwan nodded, took a deep breath, as if she had made an important decision.
“Lu Yan, there’s something I need to tell you… Actually, I am…”
"The Empress of the Datong Dynasty".
Lu Yan picked up where she left off.
Chen Qingwan looked at him in surprise, her eyes filled with doubt.
"How...how did you know?"
Lu Yan smiled and gently pinched her nose.
"Fool, do you think I really didn't notice anything? Your words and actions, your temperament, are all different from ordinary women. I just didn't say anything, wanting you to tell me yourself."
Moved, Chen Qingwan hugged Lu Yan tightly.
"Lu Yan, thank you..."
Lu Yan gently stroked her back and said softly:
"Silly girl, what are you thanking me for? No matter who you are, I like you."
The two slept in each other's arms until the sun was high in the sky before getting up.
Chen Qingwan had already gotten up and was standing by the window, gazing into the distance.
His bright yellow robe shimmered in the sunlight, further enhancing his royal majesty.
Lu Yan walked to her side and gently hugged her from behind. The two embraced quietly, feeling each other's warmth.
"Lu Yan, do you know? After my father passed away, treacherous officials were in power in the court. I had to secretly accumulate strength and wait for the right time to regain control of the government."
Lu Yan nodded, filled with admiration for Chen Qingwan's experiences.
"You've had a tough time."
"Thankfully, I met you."
Chen Qingwan turned around and looked at Lu Yan with deep affection.
"In Shannan Prefecture under your rule, the people live in peace and contentment, no one picks up lost items on the road, and doors are left unlocked at night. This gives me hope and strengthens my belief."
Lu Yan smiled and said:
"Everything I have done is for the people, for all living beings. I hope to help you govern the Datong Dynasty to make it more prosperous and powerful, so that the people can live a happy and peaceful life."
"Lu Yan, thank you."
Moved, Chen Qingwan hugged Lu Yan again.
The two poured out their hearts to each other, which strengthened their feelings for one another.
"Once I have subdued Datong, we will become husband and wife and live happily ever after, shall we?"
Chen Qingwan looked up at Lu Yan. She was tired and just wanted to enjoy life from now on.
Lu Yan nodded in agreement without hesitation.
"Okay! I'll be waiting for you."
Before leaving, Chen Qingwan bid a reluctant farewell to Lu Yan, promising to return to Shannan Prefecture to reunite with him after Datong was recovered.
"Go all out and do it. I'll be your strongest support. I'll have money and manpower if you need them."
Lu Yan said domineeringly.
Chen Qingwan felt Lu Yan's unwavering support and was filled with strength.
"I understand, I'll be back as soon as possible."
Chen Qingwan left Shannan Prefecture and continued her journey.
Lu Yan, on the other hand, remained in Shannan Prefecture, awaiting her return...
