Chapter 402 Finale
"What do you mean you don't belong here?"
Emperor Minghe stood up and knocked over the inkstones beside him.
He was so emotional that he rested his hands on the dragon table, and his joints turned white from excessive force.
Qin Jingyu picked up the inkstone.
"Master Qingyun doesn't know where Empress Yuan's soul came from. He said that Empress Yuan's birth date should have meant that she was dead many years ago."
Emperor Minghe became excited, "But Nanqing is alive. I held her in my arms and she had a heartbeat. She was so alive and beautiful..."
Qin Jingyu also felt that this matter was very tricky.
It completely exceeded their normal cognition.
Not to mention them, even Qingyun Zhenren, who had studied the art of medicine and fortune-telling since childhood, didn't know what was going on.
Emperor Minghe felt that his emotions were out of control. He took several deep breaths and then said slowly:
"Jing Yu, based on the confession of True Man Qing Yun, please revise our previous plan. You can also ask the King of Northern Frontier if there is a better way."
Qin Jingyu: "Yes. Father, you are too tired these two days, take a good rest."
Emperor Minghe nodded.
However, the moment Qin Jingyu turned around and left, he seemed to see his father covering his eyes with his hands...
Qin Jingyu went to the Ministry of War first, and after finishing his official business, he returned to the Eastern Palace.
He asked Su Ziyuan to deliver a letter to the King of Northern Frontier, asking him to come to the East Palace tomorrow afternoon, and then he sat in the study for a long time.
The time for the battle with Xiliang is getting closer and closer.
How many soldiers to bring, what military tactics to use, the difficulties of the local environment in Xiliang, etc., all need to be planned in advance.
Lin Qingning heard that Qin Jingyu had returned, but he stayed in the study, feeling very worried.
She has been making medicinal food herself during this period of time. When the ones in the group were ready, she brought them over personally.
Qin Jingyu didn't even raise his head, thinking that it was sent by the palace servants, but he smelled a familiar fragrance and he suddenly raised his head.
"A Ning?"
Lin Qingning put down the soup in her hand and said, "You've been very busy lately. I made this myself. You have to eat it all."
Qin Jingyu nodded, put down what he was doing, and concentrated on drinking the soup.
Lin Qingning walked behind him and pressed his solar plexus, "Did the interrogation of Qingyun Zhenren go smoothly today?"
Qin Jingyu didn't plan to tell An Ning about the Lin family's blessing. Perhaps this matter was just made up by Master Qingyun.
He said other things.
"After the Mantra Pill, he confessed even faster than Xu Mu. Later, even when we stopped asking, he volunteered to tell us."
Lin Qingning didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Is it really like this?"
Qin Jingyu: "His confession is very useful to us. The chances of successfully attacking Xiliang have increased by 20%."
Lin Qingning: "This is a good thing, then why are you frowning?"
Qin Jingyu held her hand and placed it on his shoulder. He sighed and told her about Empress Yuan.
"Father lost his composure when he heard this."
Lin Qingning murmured, "Don't belong here?"
"As for Master Qingyun's curse technique, he is most worried about backlash. He said that Empress Yuan is very suitable for using curse techniques..."
"Jing Yu, is there a possibility that Empress Yuan is not dead yet, and she just returned to her original place?"
Qin Jingyu's eyes suddenly lit up, and his heart became excited, but he still said calmly: "But, Master Qingyun doesn't know where she came from. Even if she returns to her original place, we don't know where she is."
Although this sentence is a bit confusing, it is true.
Lin Qingning said gently: "Jingyu, it doesn't matter where she went. What matters is that she is very likely still alive!"
"This matter is more important than anything else to my father."
"Let's take a step back and say that even if it's not true, it's better than the current situation, right?"
Qin Jingyu happily picked up Lin Qingning and spun her around a few times.
"A Ning, you are so smart. You are my lucky star and the lucky star of our Great Chu!"
Lin Qingning quickly held his shoulders to steady herself, and said, "Don't be fooled by Master Qingyun."
Qin Jingyu: "No, he is right about this. You are indeed my lucky star."
Qin Jingyu went to the palace the next morning and told his father, who was ill and did not attend the morning court, about this matter.
The corners of Emperor Minghe's mouth stretched open, and then he slowly smiled.
There was a gleam of light in his eyes.
"Jing Yu, you are right, she must still be alive, definitely still alive, I will go tell this good news to your mother!"
Qin Jingyu was very pleased to see his father, whose spirit and vigor had visibly recovered.
The war is imminent, and he will be the commander-in-chief to attack Xiliang, and nothing must happen to his father at this time.
My father is the pillar of support for the Great Chu.
After another three months of preparation, the Chu army finally set out for Xiliang!
Qin Jingyu is still the commander-in-chief.
Duanmu Jin also went with them this time.
Xiliang is Duanmu Jin's hometown, and there are people from the Duanmu family there, so her going there will be like adding more strength to the family.
Chen Ya did not go with them this time.
Because Chen's army had to guard the capital to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the opportunity to do something.
It is worth mentioning that Mo Yu also went this time.
Although this was not the first time that Mo Yu went on a long journey to fight with Qin Jingyu, it was his first time as a captain.
After this battle, it was foreshadowed that he had grown up completely and could stand on his own.
Lin Qingning stood on the city wall and watched the army slowly move away.
Emperor Minghe and Empress Jiang were standing nearby. They comforted Lin Qingning in return, "Qingning, don't worry. Jingyu is the war god of our Great Chu. He will definitely return victorious."
Lin Qingning nodded.
She looked into the distance.
Jing Yu will definitely be fine, Mo Yu will be fine too, and Da Chu will definitely win!
The days that followed in the Eastern Palace returned to normal.
As the mistress of the Eastern Palace, Lin Qingning not only handles the chores seriously, but also spends most of her time with the children.
Xiao Xiyao is fine, she has a very good memory and she is a little older.
This time Daddy went to the war again, but she would still recognize him when he came back.
But Teng Ge'er is not necessarily the case...
Lin Qingning was worried that her son would forget Jing Yu, so she asked someone to draw a portrait of Jing Yu and showed it to her son every day.
Brother Teng was still too young. He hardly recognized his father, and he had no idea why his mother showed him a painting every day.
But Xiao Xiyao would ask every day, "Mom, where is Dad?"
Lin Qingning: "Your father has gone to the war. Only after he returns victoriously will we all live a peaceful and happy life."
The following sentence was too complicated, and Xiao Xiyao seemed to understand it vaguely.
But she liked to hear what came before.
"I want to fight too!"
Every time the child said this, Lin Qingning would always patiently say: "Of course, but you are still young now, you have to wait until you grow up."
Then Xiao Xiyao began to worry about when she could grow up.
It's just these trivial things every day, and Lin Qingning enjoys it.
Moreover, every once in a while, they would receive letters from home that Qin Jingyu would have sent back along with the military newspapers.
In her reply, Lin Qingning would tell her in detail about the children and her own affairs.
This war was extremely difficult to fight due to geographical reasons, and the battle line lasted for two years.
But in the end, Da Chu was undoubtedly the winner.
The follow-up was to incorporate and take over the city, and to escort the royal family and other important officials of Xiliang to Da Chu.
In the blink of an eye, several months passed.
However, Qin Jingyu and others can come back first, and the court has sent some more officials to take over the city.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had made great contributions. Emperor Minghe was so happy that he proposed on the spot to let Qin Jingyu succeed to the throne in advance.
Qin Jingyu: "Father, you are still young and strong, and you are in your prime. Now that the great Chu is about to be unified, you are still more influential. I still need to learn more."
The ministers also tried to persuade him.
Three years later, the Western Regions and the South Sea Kingdom both surrendered voluntarily and disbanded their armies, leaving only a few guards to protect the royal family and nobles.
They also took the initiative to pay tribute every year to respect the status of the Great Chu as the central country.
At this point, Da Chu has completely become the overlord of this continent.
Emperor Minghe was very emotional, and after offering sacrifices to his ancestors, he planned to propose again to pass the empress to Jingyu.
He plans to become the emperor emeritus.
only……
Emperor Minghe found a letter placed on the dragon case.
"Father, please write to me personally. Under your wise leadership, the Chu Kingdom has prospered and the people are safe. I plan to bring the Crown Princess and the children to travel around this beautiful country... Father, please don't worry."
Emperor Minghe: "..."
This brat!
At the same time, Qin Jingyu and Lin Qingning were sitting in the carriage. Xiao Xiyao was looking outside curiously, while Teng Ge'er had fallen asleep on the cushion.
Xiao Xiyao turned around and said, "Dad, Mom, where are we going?"
Qin Jingyu: "Haven't you looked at the map? Our first stop is Jiangnan, where your mother lived."
"Then, just follow the map."
Xiao Xiyao: "Are there really fish as big as houses in the South Sea Kingdom?"
Qin Jingyu: “Yes.”
Xiao Xiyao: "Are there really mountains made of ice and snow over in the northern part of the Great Wall?"
Qin Jingyu touched her head and said, "Don't complain about the cold when the time comes."
Xiao Xiyao: "No!"
After a while, Xiao Xiyao was tired and fell asleep leaning against her brother.
Lin Qingning carefully tucked in the quilts for the children.
Then Qin Jingyu put his arm around her shoulders and let her lean on him. "You're tired and you can sleep for a while. It will take some time before we can get to the inn."
Lin Qingning leaned on his shoulder and nodded slightly.
"Jingyu, we are coming out like this, father won't be angry, right?"
Qin Jingyu: "No, he must be envious and jealous to death."
Lin Qingning: "Then after we return from our travels, if he lets you take over the throne, will you still refuse?"
Qin Jingyu: "Let's talk about it after we come back. Besides, I think it's better for Father to do some serious work now."
The two people looked at each other.
Now my father is spending all day looking for where Empress Yuan might have gone, and he even managed to get True Man Qingyun out from the death row.
Of course, True Man Qingyun did not dare to deceive Emperor Minghe.
Because Qin Jingyu has already sent someone to keep an eye on him.
If he dared to mislead Emperor Minghe with even a word, his head would be chopped off immediately.
Although Qin Jingyu and his team left the capital, they had made comprehensive arrangements in all aspects in advance.
Qin Jingyu kissed Lin Qingning's forehead.
"For so many years, you have been very hard-working and have been burdened with many things. And in the future, when I ascend to the throne, you will be the queen and you will have a lot of things to do, and you will be very busy."
"Qing Ning, I may only take you to travel around the mountains and rivers once."
Lin Qingning kissed him back.
"I am already very happy to be able to travel around the country, and you have given me so much."
You always say that I am your lucky girl.
But in fact, you are my greatest happiness!
