Li Duanjin's eyes travel through the night and through the endless space, as if he is patrolling the borderless land of Datong.

"I came to the throne at the age of eight, and took charge at the age of 14. I have been in power for 12 years." Li Duanjin's voice was soft and shallow in the dark night, as if whispering in Lin Youyi's ear.

"I am determined to be a generation of Mingjun, so that the people of Datong can live and work in peace and contentment."

"Before I met you, I didn't understand love."

"But during the Lantern Festival that year, you wore white clothes, covered your face with the mask of an old birthday star, and when you were fighting lanterns, you were quick and quick thinking, which made me very impressed."

"Later, when you entered the palace for draft, I got to know you better step by step, and found out that you are extremely intelligent and have a true temperament that no one in the harem has. I was attracted."

"Because it's you, I greeted you in person at the wedding. I didn't favor the concubine before the wedding. I wanted to give you the best that I can give you as a wife. I want you to give birth to the first prince and secure the post."

Following Li Duanjin's soft voice, Lin Youyi recalled the process of their acquaintance, from the reunion outside the Palace of Compassion at the beginning of the Lantern Festival, from the awkwardness in the selection of the palace to the sealing of the empress, from the wedding ceremony to the wedding night.

It turned out that before she knew it, Li Duanjin had already done so much for her silently.

"But what I want to give you is not what you want. For a long time, I was confused and didn't understand what you want, until Youquan Palace."

In Youquan Palace, Lin Youyi was moved by Li Duanjin again and again, especially Jijili, she opened her heart.

She wanted to be with Li Duanjin that night, but her body was far more honest than her heart that was touched at the moment. At the critical moment, she still vomited.

She euphemistically told Li Duanjin that her real pursuit was nothing but single-mindedness.

"I finally understand what you want, but I found out, how sad, I have thousands of miles of land and three thousand beauties in the harem, but I can't give you this single-mindedness."

"But I still have extravagant hopes, and I want to try it. I took the love potion that year, and I did it. I have also done it these years." Li Duanjin stared at Lin Youyi with burning eyes, "From now on... I can do it too .”

Tears fell from Lin Youyi's eyes without warning, and Li Duanjin's mental journey was suddenly revealed in front of her without reservation, making her speechless for a moment.

"His Majesty……"

"I'm waiting, waiting for myself to be sure that I can fulfill your request, waiting for you to grow up, waiting for you... to love me!"

Lin Youyi suddenly opened her dark eyes wide, staring at Li Duanjin in a daze, forgetting to breathe.

Love... Lin Youyi never dared to expect the emperor's love, so she sealed her heart before entering the palace.

Later, the reason why Li Duanjin was implied to be a couple all her life was because she really couldn't get over the barrier in her heart and share the same man with other women.

These years, she has also looked forward to it, but the emperor's love is so ethereal. Li Duanjin was taught by the queen mother since childhood, and will never repeat the mistakes of the previous emperor.

Therefore, she never mentioned this word, even if Li Duanjin touched her again, she just said, "The concubine likes Your Majesty the most."

"Why, you want me to be single-minded, and I can't ask you to love me?" Li Duanjin scraped Lin Youyi's upturned nose with his index finger, "Jinxi, I gave up the three thousand beauties in the harem, and didn't consider the succession of children, even the country Putting behind you, my love is not too much."

Lin Youyi was already in tears, "Of course not too much, Duan... Duanjin."

The corners of Li Duanjin's mouth curled up into a big arc, showing a bright smile, his slender fingers wiped away the tears on Lin Youyi's face, and coaxed softly, "Call again."

"Duanjin!" Lin Youyi cried and laughed, "Duanjin, Duanjin."

At this time, Tan Yujie, the minister of the Ministry of War, rushed to the Xuanzheng Hall, saying that there was an urgent military report. Zhang Jing told Tan Yujie that he had gone to the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and at the same time sent an eunuch to invite him.

"The military situation is extremely urgent, and please ask Eunuch Zhang to lead the leaders to the Palace of Compassion." Tan Yujie cupped his hands to Zhang Jing.

However, Tan Yujie did not meet His Majesty when he went to the Palace of Compassion and Ning, "Since it is extremely urgent, Tan Aiqing reported to the Palace."

"This..." Tan Yujie hesitated. Before His Majesty took charge of the government, although the Empress Dowager controlled the government, but now that His Majesty has already taken charge of the government, it might be inappropriate to report to the Queen Mother about military and state affairs.

"Your Majesty has something important to do, so Tan Aiqing can just say it. If it is really necessary for His Majesty, Aijia will send someone to invite His Majesty." The Queen Mother said.

"It was Lu Yiyi's army from You County, who refused King Yu's consolation, and took Leiyang in the south." Tan Yujie said.

The matter was related to civil strife, the queen mother understood the seriousness of the matter, and said to Tan Yujie, "You go to Xuanzheng Hall and wait for your majesty, Aijia will send a letter to your majesty."

"Yes, thank you, Empress Dowager, I will retire."

Just after Tan Yujie left, Fan Wenhui, the head of the Taiyuan Hospital, also came to the Palace of Compassion, "Report to the Empress Dowager that a plague has been discovered in You County."

The queen mother was shocked, and asked the fast-footed little eunuch to go to Fengxian Hall to invite His Majesty back to Xuanzheng Hall, and asked Fan Wenhui to wait for His Majesty in Xuanzheng Hall.

At this time, the emperor and empress had already knelt in Fengxian Hall.

Lin Youyi didn't have a good impression of Fengxian Hall. On the second day of her wedding, she was punished by the queen mother to kneel down in Fengxian Hall, which caused her legs to suffer from the cold and hurt a little when it rained.

Thinking of that time, she was so cold that her teeth chattered.

"What's wrong? Is it cold?" Li Duanjin asked.

Lin Youyi, fortunately, the weather is hot now, and the temperature in Fengxian Hall is just right.

Although Lin Youyi said it wasn't cold, Li Duanjin got up and found a cushion for Lin Youyi, "Two layers, the knees will feel better."

"Your Majesty, this is inappropriate." This is the Fengxian Hall, which enshrines the emperors of all dynasties in Datong.

"The ancestors won't mind, as long as we are sincere, kneeling is just a ritual." Li Duanjin said, "Hurry up and go back carefully, and your legs hurt again."

After a while, the eunuch of the Compassionate Ning Palace brought the Queen Mother's order to Fengxian Hall.

Li Duanjin knew the seriousness of the matter, and immediately wanted to go back to the Xuanzheng Hall, but after taking a step, he looked back at Lin Youyi, and then backed away.

Lin Youyi said, "Your Majesty, go quickly, the government affairs are important, and there is no hindrance to ministers and concubines."

"The queen mother has been in charge of the government for many years, and she can handle it well without me." Li Duanjin said to the little eunuch outside, "Go report to the queen mother, and ask the queen mother to deal with it."

"Wait!" Lin Youyi called the little eunuch, and turned to persuade Li Duanjin, "Your Majesty, if you report back to the queen like this, it will make the queen even more angry, and it will be of no benefit to you and me. The weather is hot now, but kneeling will not hurt you." A concubine."

If the queen mother insists on abolishing the queen mother, Li Duanjin will be stubborn, fearing that both sides will suffer.

Li Duanjin understood Lin Youyi's hint, but there was still reluctance in his eyes, so he finally nodded and said, "You wait for me."

"it is good."

Li Duanjin hurried to Xuanzheng Hall.

The door of Fengxian Hall opened again, and this time it was the Empress Dowager who came in in a hurry.

"I've seen my mother." Lin Youyi knelt and saluted.

The queen mother saw the two layers of cushions under Lin Youyi's knees at a glance, and her face was so dark that she could drip water.

Thank you Kaoru, Little Popsicle, Jenniferneo, and Tears for your support.
