The others in the Imperial Study nodded in agreement with the Prime Minister's analysis, while Qin Mobei, sitting at the head of the table, gave the final verdict.
"The Prime Minister's words make sense."
"Minister of War, you must work with the Prime Minister to send suitable personnel to the border to ascertain the true situation."
"Ministry of Revenue, prepare for the allocation of grain and fodder."
"Coordinate with the other departments and execute the orders given by the Prime Minister. I do not wish for any department or individual to make any mistakes!"
Qin Mobei swept his sharp eyes across all the ministers in the hall, and every civil and military official whose eyes he swept across felt a chill run down their spines.
They knew His Majesty's methods all too well!
"Your humble servant obeys the imperial decree."
"Your humble servant obeys the imperial decree."
"........"
After all the ministers had left, Qin Mobei shed his cold and aloof demeanor and walked towards the soft couch with a smile in his eyes.
With a forceful pull, Qin Mobei moved Nan Qing, who was lying on the soft couch, into his arms.
He picked up a grape, peeled off the skin, and fed it to Nanqing in his arms.
Wet fingers continued to caress Nan Qing's moist lips, his eyes gradually darkening.
"My dear, shall your husband take you on a royal expedition?"
"Would you like to visit the capital of Beili?"
Nan Qing looked at Qin Mobei, who was holding her, with some surprise and asked:
"The emperor is leading the expedition?"
"Are you planning to attack Bei Li?"
"Don't we have many great generals?"
The idea of leading the army into battle was not something Qin Mobei came up with suddenly.
Even before he ascended the throne, he had already conceived the idea of unifying the various countries.
He wants to make Donglin the largest country in the world!
All other states could only become vassal states bordering the east.
If he's right, Bei Li must have allied with another country this time.
They are not only going to send troops to Western Yan; Western Yan is probably just a pretext.
Their main goal.
It's in the east!
Therefore, they are not afraid of taking advantage of others' misfortune and reaping the benefits.
It can be said that what they wanted was for me, Donglin, to take advantage of that opportunity to send troops to Xiyan.
Their main force would then be attacking forces located east of the Western Yan battlefield.
Since that's the case.
Let them see if their appetites are really that big.
Can we even finish eating Donglin?
He wasn't worried about the war at all; Qin Mobei's only concern was Nan Qing.
"As for Bei Li, I plan to personally lead the expedition. I'm worried about leaving you alone in the capital. Would you like to come with me, Qingqing?"
Qin Mobei kissed Nan Qing's bright eyes. In truth, no matter what he said he was worried about, there was no safer place than the imperial city.
And there are also the Prime Minister and his entourage...
However, Qin Mobei felt that he was being selfish.
He selfishly made Nanqing his empress.
He selfishly wanted Nan Qing to love him too.
He also selfishly wanted Nanqing's love for all eternity.
The love that people praise is always "If I die, you should find a good husband and live a good life."
But Qin Mobei felt he couldn't do that.
If I am unwell...
He knew that no matter what, he would definitely take her Qingqing with him!
He couldn't bear to leave her alone in this world.
She couldn't possibly fall into another man's arms!
So let us live together and die together...
Perhaps it's selfish.
Perhaps Qingqing was unwilling.
But so what...
He was a selfish person.
So how could he possibly leave Nan Qing alone in the capital?
I'm worried, and I'm also reluctant to part with it.
Even if he were to lead an army into battle, he was confident that he could protect his beloved.
Fortunately, just as he was lost in thought, he heard his beloved speak:
"Since you want me to go, then I'll go with you."
"It makes no difference to me anyway."
"But I need to go back to the Prime Minister's residence and tell my mother and the others, otherwise my father, mother, and brother will definitely be worried about me going with you."
Qin Mobei chuckled softly.
He liked it when Nanqing used words that sounded like they were on the same wavelength as him.
"Yes, you can go whenever you want, and your husband will accompany you."
As he spoke, he pressed his warm, thin lips against Nanqing's lips, which were still glistening with fruit juice.
Are the grapes delicious?
"Would you like to eat a few more?"
"Hmm~"
"It's all...your drool."
One month later.
Inside the luxurious and comfortable carriage.
Nan Qing raised her hand and lifted the curtain of the carriage window, looking at the figure on the city gate that made her somewhat lost in thought.
Today, Qin Mobei is dressed in a silver heavy armor, looking heroic.
At this moment, he was looking at the Donglin soldiers below the city gate with a firm and sharp gaze, his cold eyes carrying a hint of murderous ruthlessness.
Nan Qing had never seen Qin Mobei like this before.
Qin Mobei is a cold and ruthless emperor.
He was also a decisive and ruthless ruler.
However, in Nan Qing's eyes, Qin Mobei has always been someone who appears indifferent to everything on the outside, but is actually a person who lacks a sense of security and is extremely gentle on the inside.
But Nan Qing had to admit that looking at Qin Mobei like this, she felt a strange unease in her heart...
Today is the day Qin Mobei sets off on his expedition.
Just as he said.
He brought Nan Qing with him.
Along the route of the hundreds of thousands of troops marching with full force, a carriage that looked enormous yet was quite unassuming was slowly making its way.
"Qin Mobei, please make the carriage go faster, I'm fine."
Nan Qing, her face pale, leaned against Qin Mobei, feeling listless and lacking energy.
They have been traveling from Kyoto to the border for about half a month.
Nanqing started experiencing some discomfort from the change in environment a few days ago, and couldn't eat much.
"It's alright, we're not in a rush anyway, we'll take our time."
"Would you like some more grapes?"
Qin Mobei touched her small face, which had become thinner in just a few days, with heartache.
Although the carriage was well arranged, it was still a carriage after all, and there would still be a bumpy ride.
He picked Nanqing up from the small couch, lay down first, and then let Nanqing lie steadily on top of him.
"Qingqing, are you feeling any better?"
"Um"
"It's soft, more comfortable than a comfy sofa."
How many more days until we reach the border?
Nan Qing poked Qin Mobei's chest with her finger.
She was still not feeling well, but she knew that now was not the time to be dramatic.
Sigh~
I'll wait until Qin Mobei is away and then secretly take a pill.
Nan Qing felt she would never want to ride in a carriage again.
It's so shaky and unstable, it's really torturous!
"We'll arrive in three or four days. Wang Fu and the others should already be there and have made the necessary arrangements."
"Once we arrive, I can finally get some rest."
"My dear, my love~"
"There are many delicious foods in the North, quite different from those in Kyoto. How about I accompany you to explore the area?"
Nan Qing nodded her little head and mumbled:
Okay then~
"You can go about your business; I have Little Fox and Wang Fu with me."
When it comes to food, Nanqing perks up a bit.
Before she came, she had asked many palace maids in the palace, and they said that the roasted whole lamb in the northern border was delicious!
There's also stuffed pork belly, and they can even bake their steamed buns.
Nan Qing thought about all this and felt that this suffering was not in vain, and she had to make the most of it!
Anyway, war and such don't really concern me.
She just needs to avoid causing trouble for Qin Mobei and the others.
