He knew Gu Yunni's abilities and suddenly felt that he had been thinking too much. How could she not be able to protect herself?
Gu Yunni then smiled and said, "I knew you would agree. Let's pack up and go say goodbye to the imperial concubine later."
The imperial concubine was also surprised when she learned about this, but then she thought of Gu Yunni's ability and felt a little relieved. "Yunni, thank you."
She knew that Gu Yunni could have completely ignored this matter, but for Sheng Mingyu, she decided to go to the border to participate in the war. How could she not be grateful for such deep friendship?
"What are you talking about, Your Majesty? I'm just doing my best to protect Mingyu."
In Gu Yunni's opinion, the two are already husband and wife, so there is naturally no need to distinguish between you and me.
At this time, the eighth prince also walked in from outside. Since the queen was arrested, he was also free.
"Brother, please take care of yourself when we meet again." The Eighth Prince looked at Sheng Mingyu with reluctance in his eyes.
Sheng Mingyu smiled helplessly, "You too, take good care of His Majesty and the Imperial Concubine."
After they exchanged a few private words, the imperial concubine allowed them to go see the emperor.
The emperor had regained his former spirits by this time. "Mingyu, what are your thoughts on this war?"
"The Queen of our western neighbor is taking advantage of this opportunity to cause trouble. If we don't eliminate her, there will surely be another time. I will definitely kill the evil Queen and restore peace between our two countries."
The cause of this disaster was the Queen to the west, and everyone else was just a puppet controlled by her.
The most important thing now is to quell the rebellion, not to fight a war. As long as the queen is dealt with, everything will be solved.
The emperor nodded with satisfaction and took the two of them out of the hall.
At this time, thousands of soldiers have gathered here, waiting for his order to go to the western neighbor to quell the war.
"I will give my personal sword to the prince. If anyone disobeys orders or colludes with the enemy during this mission, he will be executed! With this sword in hand, it's as if I'm here in person, and I can do anything without asking why!"
He gave all his trust to Sheng Mingyu.
Sheng Mingyu picked up his sword and unsheathed it in front of all the civil and military officials, "We will definitely win this battle!"
"We must win this battle!" the soldiers shouted one after another.
Civil and military officials lined the road to see them off. The emperor and the imperial concubine stood not far from them, looking at them with eyes full of satisfaction.
Sheng Mingyu bowed deeply in their direction, not only as a son, but also as a general leading the expedition, to bid them a final farewell.
After the ceremony, Sheng Mingyu got up without hesitation, mounted his horse, and left the imperial city with his army.
The emperor watched them leave, feeling both worried and relieved.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. I believe they will return victorious."
I don’t know if it was because of this incident, but the imperial concubine became much softer and her attitude towards the emperor also improved a lot.
The two understood that they had to walk the rest of the way on their own, and it was useless for them to worry about it.
In fact, the situation is not as bad as they think.
While the army was advancing, Gu Yunni did not forget to find the direction of the national teacher. With his ability, he should not have disappeared at this time.
But for some reason, she still couldn't find the other person's whereabouts.
"It seems that this matter is a bit difficult to handle, and the Imperial Master doesn't know what the situation is."
Gu Yunni sighed softly, her face full of worry.
Sheng Mingyu patted her shoulder and comforted her, "The Imperial Master must be able to protect himself. He might already be recovering from his injuries. Don't worry too much."
She didn't want to worry, but the disappearance of the national teacher was suspicious, and his disappearance caused instability in the army, so she could only search based on clues.
Just when Gu Yunni was at a loss, she suddenly found the trace of a familiar person. She thought it was the imperial teacher, but she never expected it to be the eldest princess who was in a dishevel.
When she saw them, the eldest princess' eyes reddened slightly, "So it's you."
After rescuing the eldest princess from the western neighbor last time, she was allowed to continue traveling.
Who knew that...
When Gu Yunni saw her like this, she knew that she must have encountered a lot of problems.
I quickly prepared some spare clothes and food for her, and then asked her about her plans.
"I want to go with you to the battlefield west of the city."
Gu Yunni frowned, "Swords have no eyes on the battlefield. Are you sure you want to go with us?"
"Well, I have nowhere else to go. If I continue here, I might die someday."
She originally wanted to continue traveling, but now she realized that traveling would not bring her any peace as her country was in turmoil.
Gu Yunni had no choice but to agree.
The eldest princess needed care, so Gu Yunni simply lived with her.
Although Sheng Mingyu was reluctant in his heart, seeing Gu Yunni's insistence, he could only agree temporarily.
The eldest princess felt quite safe next to Gu Yunni, "Thank you for being with me."
"Nothing." Gu Yunni thought about the Imperial Master and replied absentmindedly.
Seeing this, the eldest princess didn't say much and just sat quietly by the side.
At night, Gu Yunni always remained vigilant. After all, anything could happen during the march.
But for some reason, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her abdomen. She was caught off guard and couldn't help but gasp.
The eldest princess heard the noise and thought something had happened, so she rushed forward to check, "What happened to you?"
"Nothing." Gu Yunni shook her head. She knew something was wrong with her, but she didn't find any problems when she checked just now.
Now their goal is to get rid of the Queen of the Western Neighborhood, so she can only suppress the doubts in her heart for the time being.
"Do you have a stomachache?"
"Well, I didn't get enough rest these days," she explained calmly.
The eldest princess looked at her with concern, "I'm sure you won't be able to take care of your health during this march and battle. Why don't you go back? You won't have to live like this in Kyoto."
"Since I'm already here, I naturally have to solve the problem before leaving. It's just a minor ailment, and I can still bear it for now."
The eldest princess also knew that she was not a talkative person, so she did not continue to ask.
No words were spoken that night.
No similar situations occurred in the next few days, but Gu Yunni still did not dare to let her guard down.
Seeing her condition, Sheng Mingyu couldn't help but remind her, "Yun Ni, we will be at the battlefield tomorrow, you have to be extra careful."
"Okay." Gu Yunni still hadn't found any clues about the Imperial Master, but she still hadn't given up.
After arriving at the battlefield, soldiers from the front line came to greet them.
Sheng Mingyu simply exchanged pleasantries with them and then asked about the situation. Seeing him like this, everyone felt a little relieved.
Everyone discussed the current situation and prepared a welcoming banquet for them that evening.
"Forget about the welcoming party. It's most appropriate to let the soldiers relax. They have been working hard recently." He knew that life on this frontier was not easy, and it was not easy to hold on until now.
