Fang Chiyue heard her sister sobbing and asked with concern.
Fang Qingyue wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and smiled slightly, "Yuhan is safe. He said the war situation has improved, food and fodder are sufficient, and morale is high."
"Although the enemy has not completely retreated, he is confident that he can turn the situation around."
There was a hint of excitement in her voice. "He also told me to rest assured and take care of the baby."
"Once the situation is stable, you will return to Beijing to see me."
Fang Chiyue smiled lightly upon hearing this: "That's great, sister. Can you finally put your mind at ease?"
"My Lord, you are so calm, wise and brave. You will surely lead the army to repel the enemy."
Fang Qingyue nodded, her eyes still fixed on the letter, full of tenderness.
Her heart was full of longing, but more of it was anticipation for the future.
Although Shen Yuhan was on the battlefield, his heart was always concerned about himself and the child in his belly.
At this moment, she could finally wait for his return with peace of mind instead of living in anxiety.
She sighed softly, turned back to the study, picked up her pen and ink, and began to write a reply to Shen Yuhan.
She had to reassure Shen Yuhan that she and the child were fine.
Dear Yuhan:
Qingyue was very relieved to receive Yuhan's letter and know that you are safe.
Everything is normal in Beijing these days. Qingyue and the baby in her belly are both healthy. I often check the baby's pulse in my free time every day. The pulse is stable and the fetal movements are becoming more frequent.
Don't worry, Yuhan. Although Qingyue is worried about you, everything comes first to take care of the fetus. I will definitely not let you worry.
Your letter said that the war has eased up a bit, Qingyue was very relieved to hear that.
However, the border issue remains unresolved. I hope Yu Han will act with caution and not take risks due to war.
Although victory lies ahead, we must still proceed with caution.
Qingyue often thinks that when you return, she will welcome you with her children, and hopes that day will come soon.
No matter when, Qingyue and the children are thinking of you. We hope you take care of yourself and come back soon.
I write this to you in the hope that you will not forget that there are always people at home who miss you. I hope you are safe.
Fang Qingyue wrote these words stroke by stroke, her heart filled with anticipation.
She knew that Shen Yuhan would be able to understand her feelings. Even though they were thousands of miles apart, this deep affection had never diminished because of distance.
After writing the letter, she carefully sealed it and gave it to her maid to deliver to the courier.
"Send it to the border quickly so that the Marquis can receive it as soon as possible." She instructed.
The maidservant left in response. Fang Qingyue looked at the receding figure and her heart gradually calmed down.
She turned and walked back into the courtyard, feeling the breeze caressing her face.
The baby in the belly seemed to sense the mother's emotions and moved slightly.
Fang Chiyue stood aside, seeming to sense her sister's emotions, and whispered, "Sister, after writing your reply, have you calmed down a bit?"
Fang Qingyue nodded gently, with a hint of peace in her smile: "Yes, after writing the letter, I feel a lot more relaxed."
"No matter how the war goes, as long as Yuhan is safe, I will be satisfied."
The sunlight shone through the towering walls outside the palace, slanting into the emperor's study, and the golden light sprinkled on the wide dragon throne.
The emperor was sitting at the desk, holding Shen Yuhan's victory report in his hands, with a satisfied smile on his face.
He was in a very good mood, as the war on the border had always been a heavy burden on his mind.
Now Shen Yuhan has received frequent reports of victory. He has not only recaptured the enemy's food and grass, but also stabilized the situation on the border.
Such news undoubtedly made him overjoyed.
"Shen Yuhan really lived up to my expectations!"
The emperor handed the victory report to the eunuch beside him, his voice full of relief.
He slowly stood up, put his hands behind his back, and paced in the imperial study, as if he wanted to vent his joy.
The emperor has always relied heavily on Shen Yuhan, especially during this border war which was full of twists and turns.
Shen Yuhan's ingenious strategy not only resolved the crisis, but also caused heavy losses to the enemy and greatly boosted the morale of the court.
The ministers around him also echoed and praised Shen Yuhan's achievements with smiles on their faces.
"The Marquis is both wise and brave, a true pillar of the court. With him guarding the border, Your Majesty can rest easy."
One of the old ministers stroked his beard and smiled, his eyes full of admiration.
However, as the atmosphere became relaxed and cheerful, a young minister suddenly remembered something.
He took a tentative step forward and whispered, "Your Majesty, Lord Shen has made outstanding military achievements and his prestige is growing, but I heard that the engagement between Lord Shen and Miss Liu has not yet been cancelled."
"I wonder if Your Majesty has any plans?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of everyone in the hall changed slightly.
Shen Yuhan's engagement was a hidden concern that everyone knew about.
Especially when Liu Yunyun and Shen Yuhan had made an engagement, their relationship was in name only.
What's more, it has long been rumored in the court that Shen Yuhan is deeply in love with Fang Qingyue.
The existence of this engagement now seems particularly awkward.
The emperor raised his eyebrows slightly, pondered for a moment, and then smiled meaningfully.
Inside the hall, everyone held their breath, waiting for the emperor's decision.
"You have a point," the emperor said slowly, a shrewd glint in his eyes, "Shen Yuhan has made outstanding contributions now, and I can't delay his marriage any longer."
"Since this engagement has become a hindrance, it's better to cancel it as soon as possible."
As soon as he finished speaking, the ministers nodded in agreement, thinking that the emperor's move was wise.
The emperor smiled contentedly and waved his hand, "Since that's the case, then the engagement between Lord Shen and Miss Liu will be officially cancelled. Give the Liu family sufficient rewards to appease them."
"I also don't want Miss Liu to feel resentful. After all, she is the descendant of a loyal minister."
