Chapter 488 Waiting for You to Come Back
The next morning court session.
After all the officials had reported everything that had happened that day, Chen Hechuan simply stretched out his hand and signaled the little shadow beside him to read the imperial edict.
When the little shadow finished reading, everyone present looked up in shock.
Your Majesty is going to lead the army in person!
"Your Majesty, this is absolutely unacceptable!"
"Your Majesty, you have just ascended the throne and your foundation is not stable. If you leave Tiandu now, what will happen to the affairs of the court?"
"Your Majesty, we have two generals at the border who will surely be able to handle it. Your Majesty, please take care of your own health first!"
"Your Majesty, please think twice!"
This time, all the officials in the court were unprecedentedly united, and all of them made Shen Hechuan think twice.
However, Shen Hechuan had made up his mind.
"I have considered this matter for a long time. This time, Da Qi is eyeing us covetously and is determined to capture us.
But our army's morale is unstable.
Our army's new weapons have not yet been fully put into use, so for the sake of safety, I am leading the army in person to boost our army's morale.
As for state affairs, they will naturally be decided by the Empress and the Crown Prince."
"Give orders to keep everything simple. I will set out tomorrow."
The news that Shen Hechuan was going to lead the army in person quickly spread throughout the imperial palace and Tiandu.
The people all shouted "Long live His Majesty" and placed high hopes on Shen Hechuan.
When Luo Ziqian heard the news, he immediately rushed to Wanhe Hall and said to Chen Hechuan, "Do you know how dangerous it is for you to go to the battlefield?"
"Unless you take me with you, I won't let you go."
Shen Hechuan looked at his rogue appearance and sighed helplessly.
"You are the only child in your family. Do you really want to go with me?"
Luo Ziqian nodded firmly.
"Of course. How can I feel at ease if you go to such a dangerous place alone?"
Chen Hechuan didn't want to take him with him, and asked, "What about my sister? You just wanted to get engaged to her, so are you just going to ignore her?"
Luo Ziqian choked and paused before continuing.
"I'm just going to fight, not to die. We can get married after I come back."
As he spoke, he took a step forward, ignoring the distance between the emperor and his ministers, and placed his hands directly on the imperial desk. His eyes were full of threats, but his tone was filled with pleading.
"Your Majesty, I'm worried about you going alone, so let me accompany you."
Chen Hechuan looked at Luo Ziqian and finally nodded.
"good."
He smiled and knew that at critical moments, he still needed his good brother to accompany him.
Luo Ziqian also smiled and discussed a few details with Chen Hechuan before coming out of Wanhe Hall.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he came out, he saw Princess Rongyang standing at the bottom of the stairs.
She pursed her lips and looked straight at Luo Ziqian, her eyes filled with murderous intent.
Luo Ziqian swallowed subconsciously and then slowly took a few steps forward.
Until he slowly walked in front of Princess Rongyang.
Then he spoke.
"Princess, why...are you here?"
Princess Rongyang then spoke her first words.
"What did you say to my brother just now?"
Luo Ziqian spoke hesitantly.
"I...I said I would go with His Majesty...to fight."
Princess Rongyang: "Does my brother agree?"
Luo Ziqian nodded.
"What about our marriage?"
Luo Ziqian paused and took a deep breath.
"Princess, I know that our marriage is more important, but our great success is more important. If we don't protect our great success because of this marriage,
When Dacheng is gone, our little home will be gone too.
I did this not because I didn't care about our marriage, but because I cared too much about our marriage, so I wanted to go to war.
Do you understand?
Princess Rongyang looked at him, her eyes red and tears about to fall.
She sniffed and suddenly smiled.
She walked forward and held Luo Ziqian in her arms, letting her tears wet his clothes, then she spoke with a sob.
"You are worthy of being the man I have chosen. You did the right thing. I am proud of your choice."
Luo Ziqian also breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
"Don't worry, I will protect myself and come back as soon as possible."
"When I come back, I will marry you immediately."
"Um."
Princess Rongyang nodded.
"I'm waiting for you."
night.
Chen Hechuan and Gu Jingchun fell asleep in each other's arms.
At this moment, there was no lust between the two, only each other.
At this moment, no words were needed to express the feelings between the two.
Only by hearing each other's heartbeats can we feel each other's love.
The two of them hugged each other like this, neither of them slept nor spoke until dawn.
It was not until the last moment that the two of them slowly stood up.
Gu Jingchun personally put clothes on Shen Hechuan, one by one, until finally he put on the hard armor.
In the end, Gu Jingchun had become a great general in his eyes.
Gu Jingchun looked at him, then stood on tiptoe and gently kissed him on the lips.
It ended with a kiss.
Chen Hechuan suddenly lowered his head and kissed her again.
This time the kiss was a little more domineering, a little reluctant, and a little lingering.
After a moment, Shen Hechuan slowly left her lips, his fingers falling on her cheek and caressing it gently.
"Wait for me, I'll be back as soon as possible."
"good."
******
The morning light is just breaking in front of the palace gate.
The sunlight quietly falls on the palaces.
Emperor Shen Hechuan was dressed in black armor, with a long sword at his waist. He stood on the steps, looking as heroic as a god descending to the earth.
Gu Jingchun was wearing a court robe with a phoenix pattern, a pearl crown on his head, and a smile on his lips. He seemed calm, but a hint of trembling could be seen in his expression.
She held a cup of warm wine in her hand, her fingertips slightly white.
"His Majesty."
Her voice was soft, like a spring breeze blowing through willow branches, but with a barely perceptible sob.
"The journey to the border is thousands of miles long and dangerous. I hope Your Majesty takes good care of your health. I will burn incense in the palace day and night, praying for Your Majesty's triumphant return."
The emperor took the wine cup, his eyes as deep as the sea, his fingertips gently brushed the back of Gu Jingchun's hand, and said softly:
"Okay, don't worry, I will definitely protect myself.
As for you, the court is unstable and there may be changes, so I entrust all the affairs of the palace to you."
Gu Jingchun raised his eyes, his eyes sparkling with tears, but he tried hard to hold back his tears and just smiled slightly:
"I will certainly live up to your trust. I only hope that Your Majesty will always remember that under the moon in Chang'an, there is a lamp that will always light your way."
As she spoke, she took out a gold-embroidered amulet from her sleeve and gently stuffed it into the inner layer of his armor.
"This talisman will accompany me as I chant sutras for a hundred days, hoping to protect Your Majesty's safe return."
Chen Hechuan held her hand tightly and remained silent for a long time.
The two just looked at each other, neither of them willing to look away first.
At this time, the sound of flags fluttering in the wind came.
Chen Hechuan finally turned around, his black cloak raised in a resolute arc.
"Mu Qian——"
