The commander's tent of the Northern Frontier Camp.
This scene was quite novel for both Si Jin and Gu Linyuan.
So he stayed up all night, relentlessly pursuing her.
The joy of victory, the worry of parting, and the anticipation of the future.
They took everything they could from the other party.
The next morning, Si Jin was in so much pain that she couldn't get out of bed.
However, he particularly enjoyed this rare moment of madness.
Not letting Xiao Yao block out the pain, she leaned against the couch and was taken care of by Gu Linyuan all day long.
On the third day, he returned to the hunting grounds with his general to continue the autumn hunt.
The officials at the hunting grounds were all impressed by His Majesty's decisiveness.
With such a major conflict occurring at the border with the Northern Di, anyone else would have fled back to the capital to escape the Northern Di's pursuit.
But their young emperor not only didn't care at all, but also had the intention to carry out the autumn hunt to the end.
He remained calm and composed in the face of adversity; his actions were truly admirable and moving.
… …
When the autumn hunt ended and they were about to return to the capital, Gu Linyuan refused Si Jin's request to go back with her and insisted on staying in the northern frontier.
Si Jin was somewhat confused:
"Uncle, this time the sand wasn't for you to eat, it wasn't from me."
Gu Linyuan was both amused and exasperated.
"Where? The Northern Di Khan, the prince, and the goddess have all been killed by us. The Northern Di tribe is in chaos."
I heard that a few days ago, they put forward another person from another family as the new Khan.
A new broom sweeps clean, and he needs to establish his authority.
The best way to establish authority is to harass our borders under the pretext of avenging the Great Khan.
Therefore, for the sake of stability on the frontier, I will have to stay for a longer period of time, at least three months, and at most a year.
"It's been so long."
Si Jin's eyes slowly darkened, and a hint of sadness appeared in her expression.
Gu Linyuan couldn't bear to see him so upset, so he clumsily tried to comfort him:
“Jinjin, if you miss me, I can return to Beijing once a month to report for duty…”
"No need. My uncle is working hard for the frontier, how could I possibly stop him?"
Si Jin said very "sensibly":
"I will return to the palace first and await your good news."
Gu Linyuan: ...
Why does he feel that the child doesn't seem to care about him at all?
Judging from this attitude, is he still a good husband...?
Was it a complete failure?
With this touch of sadness, General Gu fell into deep contemplation about life.
Si Jin was thinking:
When he turns twenty-one a year later, his chances of a counterattack will be much greater.
… …
After bidding farewell to Gu Linyuan, Si Jin led the officials back to the capital.
From time to time, news of victories would arrive from the northern border.
Along with family letters, two were sent to the palace every month.
After Si Jin had been in office for six months, the administration became clean and efficient.
He struck while the iron was hot and expanded the Wenyuan Pavilion, resulting in fewer and fewer memorials requiring the emperor's personal attention.
When he was unemployed, he would enjoy reading storybooks.
For example, this purely romantic novel that he's been enjoying reading lately—
General Gu has long coveted the Empress's position.
The fact that he plays the dominant role is quite good.
It looks awesome!
A cool afternoon.
Si Jin sat by the dragon desk in his bedchamber, drinking tea and flipping through a book.
Before I had even turned a few pages, a system notification sounded in my ear:
[Ding! Congratulations, host, for completing all the storylines and fulfilling the mission in this world. Reward: 10 points.]
Si Jin put down the storybook and paused slightly:
My dear child, what happened? How did you complete the mission?
Xiao Yao, with only a vague understanding, opened the system and explained:
"My lord, it's like this: the Northern Di have surrendered and have now retreated a hundred li beyond Jiayuguan. The final part of the story is now complete."
"Oh? The last plot point."
Si Jin's expression changed, and she asked, "Then how was it arranged in the original plot?"
[In the original storyline, you should have believed the reborn Yun Mu Nian, then been falsely accused of treason by Yun Mu Nian, captured by the Northern Di people during the autumn hunt, and tortured to death.]
Si Jin put down the storybook, her beautiful eyes gradually turning dangerous:
This storyline is far more tragic than the original owner's experiences in his previous life.
Your sheriff really knows how to make a fool of himself.
To be honest, it's been a long time since I've seen him. I'm going to go see him now.
After saying that, Si Jin disappeared from the room.
Having broken free from the constraints of the dimensional laws, they returned to the Heavenly Realm.
