Chu Xuan's face was gloomy, as if he was going to kill someone. He returned home, went straight to the study, and locked himself in.

By the time Lu Yanluo found out, it was already an hour later. Listening to the servants' report, she couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Looking at the time, it was time for lunch, so Lu Yanluo asked someone to prepare some porridge and side dishes and brought them to the study.

Outside the door, Shen He leaned against the wall with a gloomy face. When he saw Lu Yanluo coming, he quickly stood up and bowed his head and said, "Princess, the prince is in a bad mood. No one is allowed to enter the study to disturb him."

He was just unlucky as he accidentally walked into the study room and was scolded out by his master.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yanluo looked at the tightly closed study door and frowned unconsciously.

"Are you stupid? Is our princess someone else?" Xiao Ran stepped forward, pulled away the tactless Shen He, and scolded him, "When have you ever seen the prince scold the princess? The prince is in a bad mood, and our princess is worried about this. You are so tactless, no wonder you can't get married!"

"You!" Shen He was embarrassed and annoyed, but because Lu Yanluo was beside him, he couldn't get angry. He could only let out a deep breath and whispered, "I warn you, stop talking nonsense. Is it because I can't get a wife? I'm working hard for my master and don't have time to indulge in love."

Xiao Ran curled her lips in disdain.

"Hey! I'm talking to you..." Shen He was about to argue again when the door behind him was suddenly opened.

Shen He only felt a gust of cold wind blowing, and heard an angry shout in his ear: "Get out of the way! It's too noisy!"

Shen He quickly slipped away.

Outside the door, Lu Yanluo looked at Chu Xuan with a gloomy face and couldn't help but sigh. This man was really angry. It was rare to see him vent his anger on others. She walked up to him and held his arm.

"It's time to eat. I asked someone to make some shredded chicken porridge. Let's have some together."

As soon as he saw Lu Yanluo, Chu Xuan recalled the emperor's disgusting face and immediately lost his appetite. But when he saw the cautious look of the person in front of him, he felt guilty again.

He was about to go to war, but he could not protect her and leave her alone in the capital. Who would protect her? What if those people wanted to harm her?

"A'Luo..." The word "A'Luo" brought out some of Chu Xuan's inner uneasiness. For the first time, he felt helpless.

Lu Yanluo smiled and put her arms around Chu Xuan: "It's okay, no matter how big the problem is, I'm here to help you. We'll face it together, don't be sad."

In the study, two people sat around a table full of food, but neither of them had any appetite.

After a long while, Lu Yanluo finally spoke: "It's okay for me to stay in Beijing. Originally, I didn't want to go to Tianque Pass with you. The capital is not stable. I can't feel at ease with Kong Chenyang here. Now I can stay in the capital, just in time to keep an eye on him to prevent him from doing anything again."

"It's just..." Lu Yanluo hesitated. She was worried that Chu Xuan would be in danger. "Tatuo came prepared this time. I'm worried that they will play tricks. Kong Chenyang has been lurking in Tianji for many years. I believe he is familiar with our marching and fighting. He knows both ourselves and the enemy. I'm afraid this battle will be difficult."

Chu Xuan reached out his hand, held Lu Yanluo's, and said softly, "Don't be afraid. I have never been afraid of anyone on the battlefield. It's just... I'm worried about you."

The capital city is a place where people are eaten without leaving any bones. How can he feel at ease leaving Lu Yanluo here alone?

Lu Yanluo chuckled and said unconcernedly: "Then you underestimate me. When have I ever been the kind of delicate flower that needs protection from others? I'll leave the affairs of the capital to you. Don't worry, I will be safe and sound and will wait for your triumphant return in the mansion."

She, Lu Yanluo, has never been a weak person who can be bullied. What she wants is to fight alongside Chu Xuan, not to protect him.

Soon, the imperial edict appointing Chu Xuan to go to the battle was issued. Three days later, the troops were inspected on the parade ground and they set out for Tianque Pass.

On the day of departure, as soon as Chu Xuan left the palace, the emperor sent someone to take Lu Yanluo away.

On the city wall, Lu Yanluo stood quietly, looking at the crowd of soldiers below.

Among thousands of people, she saw Chu Xuan wearing armor at a glance. She had put that armor on him personally this morning.

The emperor slowly approached, also looking at the soldiers under the city wall, and said to Lu Yanluo: "I have no other reason to bring you here, but I think that when a husband goes to war, his wife must see him off."

Lu Yanluo chuckled and said disdainfully, "Really? Thank you very much for your consideration, Your Majesty. The prince and I will be forever grateful and will never forget it."

The emperor had ill intentions from the beginning, and had no way to refute Lu Yanluo's ridicule, so he shut up in embarrassment.

Under the city wall, Chu Xuan shouted loudly: "My men, the time has come to defend our country. Follow me to the battle, and I will not return until the enemy is destroyed!"

"We will never return home until the enemy is destroyed!" The emotions of the soldiers were ignited, their blood was boiling, and their morale was high, as they rushed to the unknown battlefield.

Chu Xuan raised his hand high and clenched it suddenly. The field suddenly fell silent. All the soldiers were waiting for their general to give orders and take them out.

"Let's go!" With Chu Xuan's order, the war drums thundered and the horns sounded. In the sunlight, Chu Xuan took the lead and shone brightly.

Nearing the city wall, Chu Xuan raised his head and met Lu Yanluo's eyes on the wall. The two of them understood each other tacitly and their eyes met.

One is calm and introverted with gentleness, the other has a gentle smile like water, their eyes meet and they part in an instant, one goes to the border and fights on the battlefield, the other stays in the capital and becomes the strongest backing.

"Master." Shen He rode forward and came to a place not far behind Chu Xuan. "As soon as we left, the emperor sent someone to bring the princess here. Isn't this a threat to you? Do you want me to send someone to secretly take the princess away?"

Shen He was furious. They risked their lives for the throne of this dog emperor, but he stabbed them in the back!

Chu Xuan's hand holding the reins turned pale, and he slowly withdrew his gaze: "No need, he doesn't dare to do anything to Luo, he just wants me to be afraid of him."

The emperor just wanted to tell him not to act rashly, but this was too cruel for Lu Yanluo. She had to watch her husband go to the battlefield with her own eyes. Chu Xuan didn't even turn his head and squeezed the horse's belly: "Gee!"

Just this once, Chu Xuan secretly swore in his heart that from now on, he would never let A'Luo see his back again.

Chu Xuan led the 200,000-man army and walked away. On the city wall, the emperor was bored and straightened his sleeves: "Princess, do you want to go back home? I will send someone to take you back."

"No need." Lu Yanluo refused, and suddenly gave the emperor a mocking smile: "Your Majesty, are you feeling guilty? Your own son is going to war, and as a father, you want to use your daughter-in-law as a threat, what a joke."
