Liu Ruyan hurriedly left the Royal Yuya Villa and returned to the palace, because she knew very well that many unexpected changes must have happened in the palace when she was not with Chu Fan.
She was worried that if she didn't return to Chu Fan in time, she might miss out on more crucial information. This information was crucial to her because it was related to Chu Fan's next actions and plans. It might also be related to the survival of the Canglan Empire.
When Liu Ruyan hurried back to the palace and headed straight for Chu Fan's bedroom, she found him lying on the bed, sound asleep. What surprised her even more was that Chu Fan was mumbling in his sleep, saying things like, "Qiu Ya, my little darling, let me hold you. Let me kiss you again."
These words surprised Liu Ruyan very much. She had never seen Chu Fan show such an expression or say such words when he was awake.
Liu Ruyan stood there, watching this scene, completely stunned. She was filled with mixed emotions. She felt Chu Fan's appearance was somewhat ridiculous, yet also somewhat heartbroken. She began to wonder if she had overestimated Chu Fan's abilities, perhaps even unconsciously deifying him.
However, Qiu Ya, who was standing aside, looked at the sleeping Chu Fan with a face full of resentment, with a hint of helplessness in her eyes. She thought silently in her heart, if only His Majesty would say such words when he was awake.
When Chu Fan was awake, he was too rational. He would not show his true feelings at all. He also would not take the initiative to make any intimate gestures towards the four palace maids. This made Qiuya, Lanzhu and the other three feel very depressed.
Although they had never thought about becoming Chu Fan's real concubines, they also hoped to have a place in Chu Fan's heart, even if it was just a little bit of heaven and earth. After all, Chu Fan was very gentle to the people around him even though he was an emperor, and his wisdom and strategy also made them admire him very much.
Anyway, even if they left the palace, they would not fall in love with other men. After all, they had already developed a deep emotional dependence on Chu Fan during their daily interactions with him.
Qiu Ya sighed softly, her gentle gaze slowly falling on Chu Fan's face. Then she turned her head and whispered to Liu Ruyan, "His Majesty still needs to rest. Let's wait outside and not disturb him."
Liu Ruyan's heart was filled with complicated emotions. She nodded gently to show her understanding, and then followed Qiuya quietly and silently out of the bedroom.
The younger generation within the royal clan were not as calm and composed as the elders. Instead, when they received orders from the clan elders, their inner passion and fighting spirit were quickly ignited.
Over the past year, they had witnessed Wei being invaded by the Xiongnu and the Qian Kingdom, a humiliation that stung their hearts deeply. Young people, full of passion and energy, were eager to take up their swords, wash away the humiliation inflicted on Wei, and demonstrate Wei's true strength and majesty to the world.
Now that His Majesty has decided to launch a war against the Xiongnu and the Qian Kingdom and personally participate in this battle, this news is undoubtedly exciting for them. They can't wait to pack their bags and rush to the battlefield to realize their long-cherished wish and prove the bravery and strength of the Wei Kingdom with practical actions.
Meanwhile, back in the Desolate Country, Qiu Lingshan, formerly known as Lin Pingzhi, also learned of Chu Yuanwu's plans and information. Upon learning of Chu Fan's strategic vision and foresight, Qiu Lingshan expressed sincere admiration for his wisdom and foresight. He also saw within this plan a hope for revenge and an opportunity to redeem his family.
When Chu Yuanwu asked Qiu Lingshan to go ahead to Wa to carry out his mission, Qiu Lingshan agreed without hesitation. The help and support Wei had provided him over the years was immense, and he longed to repay the debt. He also hoped to prove his worth through his actions, ensuring he would continue to earn Wei's trust and support.
After receiving the order from his family, Chu Anping from the Royal Government Affairs Office recalled the ship Chu Fan had asked him to build the day before, as well as the so-called war fund. Chu Anping was too scared to think about it any further.
If it was just an attack on Japan, then even the warships and troops Wei had now would be enough to deal with it, and there would be no need to build such a huge ship and raise a huge war fund.
Furthermore, His Majesty had asked the Canglan Empress to return to the Canglan Empire to fight for power. Even if she succeeded, the Canglan Empire would be in turmoil. If another country invaded, it would be difficult to form a resistance force. Chu Anping knew that such a turbulent period was extremely dangerous for the country and could lead to the weakening of national strength.
And now His Majesty has turned his attention to the Xiongnu and the Gan Kingdom, and even led the army in person. Chu Anping has every reason to believe that this war is not only to wash away the shame, but also to prepare for the unification of the Shengwu Continent.
After all, sweet potatoes and corn are now widely planted throughout the Wei State, and there are weapons made of new alloys. This will greatly increase Wei State's food reserves and weapons and equipment in a few months. By then, the country will be strong enough to support Your Majesty's grand ambitions.
Thinking in a broader sense, His Majesty built so many ships capable of sailing on the sea, obviously for the purpose of being able to fight across the sea in the future, and even to conquer the other four continents in the world. The more Chu Anping thought about it, the more excited he became.
