The two young men immediately understood and were overwhelmed with gratitude, as it was the first time His Highness had looked at them with such tenderness.
"Your Highness, we've been waiting for you." The two blushed.
Leng Qingning raised an eyebrow: "What did you call me?"
"Wife...wife master."
"Yes." Leng Qingning nodded with a smile. "That's more like it."
After chatting with her husbands for several hours, comforting and bidding them farewell, Leng Qingning returned to the Rose Garden alone.
Since this was the last night before their departure, the husbands wanted their wife to rest well, so they decided that no one would disturb her that night.
I finished washing up early, planning to review some materials before going to bed.
"Your Highness, Young Master Chi has arrived," Bai Yu reported.
Leng Qingning pondered for a moment, then said, "Please let him in."
It must be about the Sky Army!
After Chi Yan entered, he closed the door behind him.
"Ning'er." Chi Yan walked over to the table and sat down.
"Ayan, what is it?" Leng Qingning asked with a smile.
"You're leaving tomorrow, could you take me with you?"
Leng Qingning was slightly surprised. "I'm afraid not. You know how fierce the battlefield is. With winter approaching, and your body so thin and frail, how can you withstand it?"
Chi Yan smiled, pursing her lips, and asked softly, "Is this because you care about me?"
Leng Qingning smiled politely and nodded generously, "Of course."
He gave a soft "hmm" and cut to the chase: "Ning'er, I sent a message back to Cangqiong a few days ago, ordering 500,000 troops to set off at the same time as the Yue army. They should be able to reach the border of Qihuai Kingdom in less than a month."
"The Azure Sky Army is also setting off tomorrow? I already have the military seals for an army of 500,000 and 300,000 elite troops stationed in the mountains..."
Chi Yan insisted, "Just in case. What if the Qi and Huai kingdoms are forced into a desperate situation and join forces to resist the Yue army? It would be good for the army to go ahead."
Leng Qingning had also considered this point. If the two countries put aside their hatred for the sake of interests and joined forces to resist each other early on, before they were severely weakened, the combined military strength of the two countries would indeed not be very confident of defeating 800,000 men.
So her plan was not to directly join the main battlefield, but to wait until they were both exhausted before attacking from the side.
Leng Qingning originally intended to keep the Azure Sky Army as backup, and then see how things went later in the war. If the forces were insufficient, reinforcements would be sent from Azure Sky.
Since Chi Yan had already ordered the army to set off, they no longer refused. They figured they would need the troops sooner or later anyway, so they might as well strike hard and kill them in one fell swoop.
"In that case, let's set off together."
"So, Ning'er, can you take me with you?" Chi Yan pleaded.
Leng Qingning remained serious and refused: "No, Ayan."
"Alright then, you must take good care of yourself and stay safe." Chi Yan was incredibly saddened...
"Ning'er, you should go to sleep early. I'm leaving." Chi Yan stood up.
Leng Qingning also stood up to see him out, "Go back."
Just as the door was about to close, Chi Yan couldn't help but reach out to stop it, then took a step forward and tightly embraced Leng Qingning.
"Ning'er, I can't bear to part with you..."
The moonlight was like water, and the kiss was deep and lingering.
"Alright, Ah Yan, go back now."
Chi Yan stepped out of the door. "Okay, goodnight Ning'er."
The door closed, and Chi Yan stood motionless by the door.
"Young Master Chi, you...?" Bai Yu asked in confusion from the other side of the door.
Manually add a mouth movement: "Shh—"
Bai Yu pouted her lips into an "O" shape, "I understand."
That night, Leng Qingning fell asleep early and drifted off to sleep.
In the midst of chaos, I suddenly entered a blank space, with no one around and a pristine white background.
Leng Qingning stood in the void, searching left and right, but there was neither an entrance nor an exit.
Just as I was feeling confused, a long-lost voice came from behind me.
"Do you really intend to dig out the Supreme God Bone? If you give it to her, you will no longer be a god."
"who?"
Startled by the sound, Leng Qingning quickly turned around, only to find an endless expanse of blank space.
Immediately afterwards, another heart-wrenching cry rang out from the right.
"No, sister, no."
Upon hearing this, Leng Qingning suddenly felt a sharp pain in her chest. "Ahhh!" she cried out, clutching her heart.
Sister?
Is that Xiao Ning?
A spiritual voice came from the left: "Si Xing Huan Ning, your crimes are unforgivable! You are sentenced to be struck by the Nine-Nine Divine Thunder and have your body and soul obliterated!"
"No!!!"
This time, it was Leng Qingning who cried out in surprise.
A panic from the depths of the soul, a blood feud etched into the very marrow.
Leng Qingning clutched her chest and slowly squatted down, cold sweat pouring down her forehead.
Without giving them any respite, cries of despair, growing ever louder, echoed from all directions—
"Si Xing Huan Ning, punish him so that his body and soul are destroyed, and his life and path are extinguished."
"Si Xingqing Ning has violated the divine way and shall be punished accordingly."
"You two brats, are you trying to drive this god to his death?"
"No problem at all, this goddess will steal it for you!"
"Where's my forbidden zone key?! —You unfilial daughter (roaring furiously)"
I will bear the consequences of my own actions.
"Please, sister, no!"
"Take him to the Thunder Tribulation Platform and execute him!"
"ah!!!"
The cries of sobbing echoed in her ears, and Leng Qingning trembled uncontrollably, her body curling into a semi-circle. Her heart ached as if it were being convulsed, and her heartbeat gradually stopped...
The dream abruptly ended.
My head is splitting with pain.
She woke up screaming from her dream, flailing her arms and legs wildly as if trying to grab something important.
My heart aches beyond measure!
I woke up with my face covered in tears and my eyes bloodshot.
"Ning'er!"
"Your Highness, what is it?"
Chi Yan and Bai Yu rushed in upon hearing the screams.
In the darkness, Chi Yan groped his way to the bedside and hugged Leng Qingning tightly, only to feel the person in his arms trembling violently.
