At night, Guan Zhiyue and her group were all resting well in the military camp.
General Mingwei wanted to host a welcome banquet for Guan Zhiyue and her entourage, but Guan Zhiyue refused, because it was wartime and it would be inappropriate to hold a welcome banquet now.
So everyone ate and slept separately, and did not gather together.
Guan Hongsheng also saw that his daughter had suffered with him at the border, so he wanted her to rest as soon as possible, since he didn't know what the situation was like at the border.
They dared not let her daughter take any risks, but they did not want Guan Zhiyue to take any risks either. However, this did not mean that the Turks wanted Guan Zhiyue to have an easy time.
On a dark and windy night, murder and arson are most likely to occur.
The moon tonight is exceptionally bright, as radiant as a jade plate, illuminating the earth as if it were daytime.
Guan Zhiyue sat on the edge of the bed, looked up at the moonlight outside the window, and couldn't help but sigh, "Alas, the moon outside the Great Wall is indeed bigger and brighter than the moon in my hometown."
Upon hearing Guan Zhiyue's words, Bilian smiled and echoed, "Yes, that's what I think too. Besides, I think the moon outside the pass is more beautiful than the moon in my hometown."
Guan Zhiyue thought to herself, "What kind of logic is this? There's only one moon in the sky, isn't there? What's the point of talking about whether it's pretty or not?"
Actually, to put it simply, the environment is different, and a person's mindset changes, so their attitude towards things also changes.
“Bilian, there’s only one moon in the sky. They’re all the same, but we’re in different environments, so we see things differently.”
Bilian nodded knowingly after hearing Guan Zhiyue's words, and then said, "Your Majesty, it's late, we should rest."
After speaking, Bilian walked to the wide-open window and closed it, blocking Guan Zhiyue's upward gaze. Guan Zhiyue happily looked away, blinked, and said, "Get some rest! Goodnight!"
Bilian obediently went to sleep, and Guan Zhiyue lay peacefully in bed, her mind drifting back to Li Qiji in the capital.
However, back in the capital, Li Qiji tossed and turned in bed in the Cold Palace, unable to sleep tonight.
Hua Quan was speechless. His own emperor didn't sleep in Chengqian Palace but instead came all the way to the Cold Palace to sleep every day. If the Empress was here, it would be understandable if he came to the Cold Palace, but the Empress wasn't here, so what was he doing coming to the Cold Palace?
"Sigh! I wonder how Yue'er is doing now? Has she reached the border? What's the situation like at the border now?" Li Qiji put his hands behind his head, his right leg dangling over his left, staring at the top of the mosquito net above him, and muttered to himself.
It's been over a month, and Guan Zhiyue hasn't written him a single letter. She has no idea how much he misses her!
For the past month or so, if he hadn't been able to rest every night by inhaling the scent emanating from her blankets, he would have been destined to suffer from insomnia every night.
The word "love" is truly the most hurtful thing; it can be deadly.
"Ugh! This is utterly devoid of human emotion!"
Li Qiji sighed again. If Guan Zhiyue were here, she would definitely ask him, "Why are you yelling and screaming like a ghost in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?"
Unfortunately, Rosamund Kwan is no longer by her side.
Sailing County.
Just as Guan Zhiyue was half asleep, Little Tuantuan in the space suddenly called out, "Master, Master, there are people on your roof, be careful!"
Guan Zhiyue woke up instantly, blinking her eyes frantically. What the heck was going on?
Someone's causing trouble at the military camp? What's going on? Could there be bad guys involved?
"What's going on now?" Guan Zhiyue communicated with Xiao Tuantuan in the space using her mind.
Little Tuantuan said, "Master, there are five or six people above your head!"
"I don't know what it does or what its purpose is."
Guan Zhiyue was utterly embarrassed upon hearing this. What was going on? Was she going to get herself killed here?
With so many people around, what about my father and brothers? What's their situation now? What should I do?
"Little Tuantuan, can you find out what the situation is like in the entire military camp right now?" Guan Zhiyue's heart was pounding nervously.
Little Tuantuan shook her head inside the space and said, "Master, you can't. I can only sense your danger within a relatively small range!"
Just as Guan Zhiyue was about to open her eyes and get out of bed, she suddenly heard a noisy noise outside.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
"Turkic soldiers are launching a surprise attack!!!"
A commotion arose outside, and soon everyone began to bustle about. The sounds of clashing swords, soldiers' exclamations, and the sounds of battle, shouts, and fighting filled the air, all converging on Guan Zhiyue's ears.
Bilian stumbled open Guan Zhiyue's door and breathed a slight sigh of relief when she saw Guan Zhiyue still lying in bed.
"Your Majesty, are you alright?"
Guan Zhiyue peeked out from under the covers and said nervously, "Bilian, why did you come here?"
What's the situation outside right now?
Bilian replied tremblingly, "Your Majesty, there are so many people outside! They're all men in black, and our soldiers are fighting them."
"The generals and young generals have all joined the battle, let's find a place to hide quickly!" Bilian said, swallowing hard.
Guan Zhiyue quickly got out of bed, put on her shoes and socks, and then hurriedly hid in the wardrobe next to her. Bilian followed her in.
"Master, you're so silly! This spot is definitely the most dangerous. When someone comes in and sees that no one is in the room, they'll definitely check the wardrobe first," Little Tuantuan complained in the space.
Guan Zhiyue thought about it and realized that it made sense! She quickly climbed out of the closet with Bilian, but the room was only so big, where could she hide?
She can't run under the bed, and she can't climb up the roof beam. Isn't this like making a skilled cook cook without rice?
"Bilian, where should we hide?"
Bilian was also bewildered, not knowing where to hide. The two of them leaned against each other at the doorway of the room, trembling.
Guan Zhiyue didn't dare to slip into the space, mainly because Bilian was afraid that the space would be exposed. Just as she was struggling with this, two men in black smashed a large hole in the roof and jumped down.
The two men in black looked at Bilian and Guan Zhiyue, who were squatting at the door, and exchanged a glance. It was truly a case of finding something without even trying!
They came tonight to abduct Guan Zhiyue. Their Khan wanted this Lady of Nanding Kingdom to cultivate some grain varieties suitable for them to grow, otherwise they would have no food to eat.
"Are you the Empress of Nan Ding Kingdom?" a man in black asked.
Guan Zhiyue and Bilian exchanged a glance and said in unison, "No, we are servants."
The man in black glanced at the two of them again and wondered how the woman behind Bilian could be a maid, given her beautiful face and imposing aura!
Unexpectedly, another man in black said, "Who cares, take them all!"
Guan Zhiyue started yelling and randomly pulled out a bottle of pepper spray from her spatial storage. She sprayed it directly at the two men in black, and while they were still dazed, she grabbed Bilian and started running outside.
The two of them immediately blended into the chaos outside...
