Three days later, the army set out. Yan Shaoheng, clad in armor and riding a warhorse, led his vast army on the journey.
Banners fluttered, drums thundered, and morale soared.
They crossed the border and marched towards the Moon Kingdom.
Meanwhile, Chen Jingshu anxiously awaited the results of the royal physician's experiment in the Prince's mansion.
She hoped that this "beauty" medicine was as miraculous as the legends said, and could grant her her wish.
Meanwhile, the imperial physician was working tirelessly to research the "Beauty" medicine, trying to find the medicinal ingredients used to create it.
For the past few days, she had been watching the old woman who was trying out the "Beauty" product. After confirming that it was indeed effective, she was preparing to happily apply it to her face.
"Where's Shaoheng? I haven't seen him these past few days."
Chen Jingshu then realized that she hadn't seen him for several days.
The thought of not seeing her for many days and Yan Shaoheng not taking the initiative to look for her filled her with a pang of sadness.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor has been staying in the palace these past few days. I heard that he will launch an attack on the Yue Kingdom today. He sent a message last night, asking me to tell you later so that you won't worry."
As she spoke, Fang Tao handed over the letter that Cheng Ying had delivered that evening.
Chen Jingshu always knew that after he ascended the throne, he would definitely launch a war against the Yue Kingdom.
I just didn't expect it to be in such a hurry.
She opened the letter:
"Jing Shu, I have already issued an edict to make you the Empress of a country. Our Xiao'er will naturally be the Crown Prince. This trip will only last a month. I will definitely return in triumph. With the four countries unified, this world will be yours and mine."
Chen Jingshu closed the letter and asked, "How long ago did they set off?"
"Your Majesty, I heard from Lord Chengying that they set off after lunch, and they should still be in the military camp at this time."
Hearing that the person hadn't left yet, Chen Jingshu immediately applied the "Beauty" product to her face and quickly put on a delicate makeup.
"Go and bring out my pink dress."
It has to be said that the "Beauty" product is indeed very effective; even the fine lines at the corners of her eyes have disappeared. Although she is not as young as a 16-year-old girl, she looks no more than 30.
Chen Jingshu regretted it a little. She should not have given such a good thing to the royal physician for trial. If he really couldn't figure it out, wouldn't it be a waste?
It's such a waste to have so many good things.
Chen Jingshu quickly changed into her dress and got into the carriage.
Outside the military camp.
"Greetings, Your Majesty the Empress."
"Rise. Where is His Majesty?"
"Your Majesty, the Emperor is resting in the military camp."
With the soldiers' guidance, Chen Jingshu quickly arrived at the entrance of the military camp. She stopped and carefully tidied her makeup.
Turning to Fang Tao, he asked, "Is it alright?"
"His Majesty will definitely like it."
"Wait outside." After saying that, Chen Jingshu lifted the curtain and entered the tent.
When Yan Shaoheng saw Chen Jingshu arrive, he immediately stood up, took her hand, and smiled. "Jingshu, what brings you here? I told Fang Tao to tell you later."
"Fang Tao, Fang Tao, you're keeping such a big thing as attacking the Yue Kingdom from me, aren't you?" Chen Jingshu pretended to be angry and pouted.
Seeing her angry expression, his eyes softened even more, and he felt an even stronger urge to get closer to her than ever before. "How could that be? I left you a letter, but I didn't want you to know because I was afraid you would worry."
Yan Shaoheng pulled her hand and sat her down, continuing, "Besides, I'll only be gone for a month, and I'll be back soon. I've already entrusted all the affairs of the court to Xiao'er, so you can stay in the manor and wait for my good news."
"Greetings, Your Majesty and Your Majesty." Fang Tao placed a pot of wine on the table.
Chen Jingshu gestured for her to leave, "Since you're going to attack the Yue Kingdom, I won't stop you. Consider this pot of wine a farewell gift for you. I'll be waiting for your good news at home."
Her words stunned Yan Shaoheng. He hadn't heard the word "home" in a long time. For so many years, he had never dared to hope that he could have a home.
"Okay, wait for me to get home."
Yan Shaoheng poured wine into a glass and handed one to Chen Jingshu.
"After this journey, the Moon Kingdom will cease to exist in this world."
For some reason, his already somewhat agitated state seemed to have reached its peak at this moment.
But there was clearly nothing in the wine.
Yan Shaoheng's breathing grew heavier, and the reactions in his body made him realize that she must have done something. "Jing Shu, what did you put in the wine?"
"There's nothing there, just some medicinal wine to nourish your body. What's wrong with you? You seem so hot."
Chen Jingshu wanted to step forward and test the waters, but Yan Shaoheng gritted his teeth and stubbornly dodged her.
Her raised hand froze in mid-air, unsure whether to lower it or not. "Shaoheng, don't you love me anymore?"
After saying that, she suddenly wrapped her arms around his waist and wouldn't let go no matter how hard he pulled.
Yan Shaoheng swallowed a few times unconsciously, his mind went blank for a moment, and his heart was burning.
Taking advantage of Yan Shaoheng's momentary lapse in attention, Chen Jingshu kissed him forcefully.
But with this kiss, the emotions he had suppressed for so long completely collapsed.
Reason ultimately could not overcome desire.
Then Chen Jingshu was lifted up by the waist, and some folded paper on the bed was scattered completely. In a dizzying moment, the room was filled with spring blossoms.
Looking at the clothes scattered on the ground, Chen Jingshu felt both ashamed and embarrassed: he finally belonged to her completely.
When Yan Shaoheng woke up again, it was already lunchtime. The clothes scattered on the ground told him how absurd he had just done.
He had always been very restrained. Even though he had drunk medicinal wine before, he had never done anything inappropriate to her.
He was filled with remorse. He had just met her and immediately grabbed Chen Jingshu's hand to take her pulse.
"What's wrong? Why are you taking my pulse?" Chen Jingshu couldn't help but be curious. Who takes your pulse right after you've had sex? "Aren't you being a little too hasty?"
Yan Shaoheng did not answer. Although he found nothing abnormal after repeatedly taking the pulse, he was not at all relieved.
"Someone, summon Yunxi."
"Why are you sending him this message? We're about to leave, so let me have a proper meal with you." Chen Jingshu didn't know why he reacted this way; she just didn't want others to disturb them.
"Are you really not feeling any discomfort?" Yan Shaoheng asked, still concerned.
His words instantly caused Chen Jingshu to misunderstand, her face turning red. She lightly hit him, saying, "You're so annoying, I'm ignoring you."
"Greetings, Your Majesty. Mr. Yunxi has arrived."
Chen Jingshu threw herself into his arms, scratching him like a kitten, making him feel restless and itchy.
The feeling was even stronger just now.
"It's nothing, you may leave."
Although Yun Xi was somewhat confused, she didn't ask any more questions and turned to leave.
