Before dispatching troops, it was necessary to boost morale as usual. Lord Wumin climbed onto the high platform, and there were many soldiers and soldiers below. I also hid under the city and watched.
In the beginning, it was He Qin and the others, everyone was full of pride, when it was Lord Wumin's turn, he just came up, and there was cheering from below, Lord Wumin said flatly: "Nanwen is looking for death, and my soldiers from Xiyang are perfect. Defend the soil and open up the frontiers, sprinkle silver guns with blood!"
The audience was full of excitement, and everyone waved their fists and repeated: "Defend the land and open up the frontiers, sprinkle silver guns with blood!"
The shout was almost earth-shattering and shocking.
I raised my head to take a look at Lord Wumin, but the sunlight was too strong, and the light reflected from his armor was too dazzling, so I couldn't see clearly.
Lord Wumin led the team to leave in a mighty way. Looking at his back, I suddenly felt an unprecedented melancholy.

"Hey, it's back? Congratulations!"
Suddenly someone beside me said with a smile, the voice was soft, accompanied by a "squeak", I knew it was Situ Youqing the moment I heard it.
Turning around, it really was her. I waved my hand to the shadow attendant behind me, indicating that it's okay, and then said to Situ Youqing: "Yes, it's thanks to you."
Situ Youqing smiled and said, "It's all right!"
I looked around her and said, "Where's your master?"
Situ Youqing's face collapsed: "Master is gone again..."
I:"… "
To be honest, I doubt that Situ Youqing really has a master...
Situ Youqing waved her hand and said, "Let's not talk about that... I'm looking for you."
After that, he took out a slightly yellowed book from his pocket, handed it to me and said, "Read more, it's better to read it carefully, it will be beneficial—great benefit! If you don't read it, it will be terrible!"
Although Situ Youqing has always been a little strange, there is a reason for everything she said. I took the book and saw that it was a medical book. It seemed to be very old. The pages were turned up and there were still many stains.
"Okay, I'll see." I nodded.
After thinking about it, I asked Situ Youqing: "This war... can Xiyang win?"
Situ Youqing thought for a while and said, "Look at you!"
I:"… "
I said: "I am here, thousands of miles away from the battlefield, what do you think of me?"
Situ Youqing said: "Base camp!"
My heart moved, I understood a little bit, and said: "Well, I see, thank you."
Situ Youqing said: "No need... Well, can you lend me some money?"
Me: "...of course."
Situ Youqing took the money and said embarrassingly: "I have been looking for a master, but I have no money... and I am too lazy to make money, so I just sold you a book, um, this book belongs to you!"
I:"… "
So the original purpose was just to sell books... So tactful...
I smiled and said, "If you have any difficulties in the future, you can come to me."
Pointing to Baozi, I said, "As long as you let Baozi come."
Situ Youqing said thank you, then suddenly his expression changed, and he said, "Master is nearby!"
Then I blinked and she was gone.
I'm used to it, but the shadow attendants behind me were probably surprised. Those dark servants were sent by Lord Wumin, I never wanted them before, but now Lord Wumin insists that I have to bring a few, saying that he is afraid that people from Nanwen Kingdom will sneak in and do something to me.
But he didn't bring a guard with him... Obviously, the other party is more likely to deal with him, and I don't need him to be weak in martial arts, okay...
I was extremely disgusted at the time, but even if he left, I didn't let the dark servant leave.
Hey, let's just treat Lord Wumin as rare and considerate.

After Lord Wumin left, He Chen acted as the agent for the affairs of the court. I was the same as before, nothing much changed, except that I had to eavesdrop on the news from the battlefield every time, and was broken by He Chen once. Embarrassed, he said that he would not come again in the future, but He Chen said that he would report to me himself in the future.
He Chen is very knowledgeable, and I am very satisfied, so every time there is information, He Chen will take the initiative to send someone to deliver a letter - in order to avoid suspicion, he is not allowed to enter the inner palace.
What makes me happy is that Mr. Wumin's guess is right. The Nanwen Kingdom doesn't seem to be as powerful as they claimed, and they are almost retreating in a row. I reckon that Mr. Wumin can come back sooner than expected.
Probably because he was afraid that I would be bored, Pingyang simply entered the palace to accompany me. I learned a little bit of female handwork from Pingyang and embroidered a purse.
Pingyang said pleasantly: "You actually embroidered two mandarin ducks! They look alike!"
I humbly said: "It's okay, it's okay."
In fact, what I embroidered is an auspicious unicorn.
On the second day after I finished embroidering the unicorn, I decided to try to embroider two mandarin ducks. Who knew that halfway through the embroidery, I suddenly felt unwell. Pingyang sent someone to invite the imperial physician. The best physician in the palace, Bai Imperial Physician, came for me. After feeling the pulse, he twirled his beard and said, "Congratulations, queen, you are pregnant with dragon species... Congratulations!"
I:"… "
Pingyang was elated: "Great, sister-in-law, you are actually pregnant! Brother Huang will be very happy when he comes back!"
I was still in astonishment, my head was in a daze, so I could only nod my head and say: "Ah, yes..."
The news of the queen's pregnancy spread quickly on the second day. I don't know if Lord Wumin can know the news while he is in the border town. I kind of hope that he knows, but I am afraid that if he knows, it will affect him in the war.
I was pregnant, and Pingyang was happier than me. She dragged me every day and ordered the servants to cook things. Her own belly was growing day by day. I saw that Lu Shuai was worried, so I asked her not to take care of me too much.
Ping Yang said: "I don't care, the fetus is stable now, but you, the first three months are the most dangerous time, you have to be careful everywhere - don't use those martial arts again."
Ping Yang said again: "Speaking of which, if you give birth to a girl, I will give birth to a boy..."
I was speechless: "Well, how about it?"
Ping Yang said embarrassingly: "Then you can't get married..."
Me: "... yes, of course not!"
Ping Yang said: "That is brother and sister, if I give birth to a girl and you give birth to a boy, then they are siblings..."
Me: "Thank you for the reminder! I really don't know!"
Pingyang: "...um. You're welcome."
I:"… "
I underestimated Pingyang, she is Lord Wumin's younger sister, how could she be so thin-skinned...
After I got pregnant, I secretly had an idea in my heart, but before Lord Wumin came back, I couldn't move, so I just waited patiently.
Physician Bai prescribed many anti-pregnancy medicines for me, and I read the book that Situ Youqing gave me. One day, I took advantage of my free time, and asked Physician Bai according to what was written in the book: "Mr. Bai, since the anti-fetal medicine, why do I always feel that the ingredients in your prescription are missing something? Should I add a little plantain?"
Doctor Bai smiled, a red mole next to his ear shook slightly, and said, "That's not the case, plantain is something that should be added after six months of pregnancy, and it's not necessary now."
I said, "Oh, that's right."
After that, I haven't read the book given by Situ much, but I have firmly memorized the contents of the book.
Because of my pregnancy, I can only rest in the palace, and I am not allowed to go out at all. Whenever I want to go out, I will be stopped by Doctor Bai and a few maids, as if I am not the one who is pregnant.
The scope of my activities is at most the entire inner palace and the affairs of the outer court. The only thing I know is the information about the battle ahead from He Chen.
Originally, I guessed that it would take at least three months for Lord Wumin to come back, but to my surprise, Lord Wumin came back in only one month, and he came back in a very secretive way—originally according to Lord Wumin’s personality Speaking, since it is a great victory, it must be a mighty announcement to the four countries. It is best to say on the city platform: "They have been fulfilled."
But on the day he came back, He Chen was only notified, and two people came back to see me, a little sneaky.
He Chen smiled all over his face and said to me: "The emperor has returned in triumph!"
Mr. Wumin paced out like a young boy on the stage, followed by a guard, but Mr. Wumin's face was cold, and he looked at me extremely coldly, with a bit of disgust, as if he didn't know me, or I was him Enemies are the same.
Then I found out that I was doing something wrong.
Lord Wumin did not come alone, and He Chen and that guard were not the only ones by his side.
He took Liu Ya with him.
When I saw Liu Ya, I couldn't help being a little puzzled, and said, "Congratulations to the emperor on his triumphant return. But what is Miss Liu doing here?"
"Miss Liu?" Lord Wumin said coldly, "I'm afraid you will change your mind."
"Changing your mouth?" I was stunned, and said, "What's your name, Mr. Liu?"
Liu Ya; "..."
Lord Wumin: "..."
"No." Monarch Wumin said, "It's time to call me Queen."
I:"… "
"What do you mean?" I was puzzled, "I called her Queen?"
Lord Wumin nodded, while Liu Ya at the side became shy and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your mercy."
This is really ridiculous, just earlier, Mr. Wumin had dug a trap for Liu Ya to fall into, covered in cold water, and before that, even kicked Liu Ya into the lotus pond himself.
But now when he comes back from the war, he tells me that he wants to marry Liu Ya as queen
I couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty...the concubine has only one thing to ask."
Lord Wumin said coldly: "Just ask."
"Your Majesty, did you hurt your brain during the war?" I was very sincere and convinced.
Lord Wumin: "..."
