The Poisonous Wife: Cute Baby Comes to Rebirth with Me

The next morning, the Empress Dowager, dressed in court robes, walked into the court with firm steps.

Her aura and majesty were still the same as before. The emperor was a little nervous, worried that the words of the royal grandmother would lead to criticism from the ministers.

However, the Empress Dowager announced in a calm tone: "The King of Lingnan has long been planning a rebellion. I have appointed Xiao Yunxi as the Marshal to lead the army to fight against him. Now we have won a great victory!"

There was silence in the court, and then there was a burst of enthusiastic cheers. The emperor was shocked. Xiao Yunxi actually did it!

He was full of respect and gratitude for the decision of the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager did not stay for long and left the court after announcing the news.

After the morning court session ended, the emperor hurried to the Suzaku Palace to pay his respects to the Empress Dowager.

He said with full of guilt: "Grandmother, it was my ignorance that made me fail to see the situation clearly and I almost made a big mistake." The Empress Dowager waved her hand and said gently: "Emperor, you should know that the Xiao brothers and sisters are loyal and talented. In time, they will become the pillars of Daqing, and Yi Han and his wife will also become the shield of Daqing. No one dares to offend Daqing."

After hearing this, the emperor suddenly felt enlightened.

He thought of Xiao Yunxi's heroic performance on the battlefield and Xiao Yunfeng's outstanding performance in the court, and couldn't help but be full of expectations for this pair of brother and sister.

He is determined to make use of them and contribute to the prosperity and stability of the country.

At this moment, the emperor suddenly thought of the ghost marriage. He originally thought that it was just a trick played by Xiao Yunxi to attract attention, but now it seems that her wisdom and courage are beyond his imagination.

He felt deeply his own shallowness and ignorance, and he admired Xiao Yunxi spontaneously. He decided to wait for them to come back and personally arrange the marriage for them.

The historian's hands were shaking as he recorded this event. He wrote: "Marshal Xiao Yunxi defeated the 60,000-man army of Lingnan with only 4,000 elite soldiers. This is an unprecedented feat! There has never been anyone like him before or since. He is truly a hero of Daqing!"

Who says women are inferior to men?
The situation in Lingnan was stabilized thanks to Xiao Yunxi's conquest.

Nan Xuan ordered 20,000 troops to be dispatched from the Dongyuan garrison to assist, which stabilized the situation and helped Lingnan overcome the difficulties.

They assisted the government in opening granaries to release grain and provide relief to disaster victims, winning praise from the people.

Yun Xi's army also began to return to the capital after the disaster. Liu Banruo, as a hero who killed the rebel king, naturally returned with the army. Lin Dalang, Liao Quangui and Nan Xuan stayed in Lingnan temporarily to help Lord Li continue to consolidate the results. On the way back from Beijing, the soldiers were in a slightly heavy mood.

After all, this campaign had come at a huge cost, with the Akabane Camp losing 856 brave soldiers. However, they also knew that victory was hard-won, so while adjusting their mood, they also gradually showed the pride of a victorious army.

Yun Xi and Yi Han were well aware of the hardships and sacrifices made by the soldiers, so they constantly gave them encouragement and comfort along the way.

They ate and lived with the soldiers, and shared the joy and sorrow of victory. This close relationship made the soldiers trust and rely on them more, and also made them more determined to serve the country.

That night, the army camped outside Yizhou. Yun Xi ordered people to buy a large amount of meat and food from the state capital to reward the hard-working soldiers in advance.

At the hour of You, a blazing bonfire was lit in the camp. Yun Xi and Yi Han raised their glasses to toast to thank all the soldiers for their efforts and sacrifices.

They did not say any passionate words, but simply toasted their fallen comrades and the victory with a glass of wine.

Everyone raised their glasses and drank, and their tense emotions were relaxed in this joyful atmosphere.

Yun Xi and Yi Han sat together, Lan Xiang and Mei Qing sat on either side of them, while Liu Banruo sat quietly opposite them.

She followed all the way into Beijing, her expression calm and reserved. She didn't drink much, and if someone talked to her, she would just smile, looking very gentle.

That night, the soldiers sat around the campfire, sharing the joy of victory and their vision for the future.

They know that although they paid a huge price, their efforts have brought peace to the country and happiness to the people. It is all worth it.

As the army slowly marched towards the capital, Yun Xi and Yi Han began to make plans for their future lives.

New challenges and opportunities are waiting for them, but they also believe that as long as they work together and move forward courageously, they will be able to create a more brilliant future. (End of this chapter)
