The Second Marriage of a Passionate Monarch: Princess Chongxi

Chapter 241 The First Station of the Western Expedition

Wei Young looked at the evidence about Liu Qian's meticulous work, and was a little stunned for a while.Unexpectedly, all the friendliness and proximity are purposeful.She suddenly missed Zhixi so much, but she was not surrounded by Zhixi, these people made her feel uneasy.In the past, she didn't believe in Liu Qian, but after Zhixi left, she felt too empty, so she tried to believe it. Who knew that if she couldn't believe it, she couldn't believe it. No one who came out from there was really trustworthy.

Zhixi left, Liu Qian died, and she was the only one left in Leping Palace.Tomorrow even An Yunhao will leave, as well as Gao Tianqi and Ruying, they will all participate in the Western Expedition.

In the evening, after the nanny finished feeding Chengxi, she brought him in.Wei Young hugged him until he fell asleep, then carefully placed him on the bed.Seeing him sleeping soundly, my heart was moved to have such a lovely child, but also full of sadness.How would he be embarrassed if he knew that their parents were brother and sister in the future?
Just looking at Chengxi by candlelight like this, An Yunhao came back the next day, and was a little surprised when he entered the room, "Why haven't you slept yet?"

In fact, Wei Young should be surprised, why did he come here?

Before she could ask, he said, "Tomorrow morning we are going to war, and I want to sleep with you in my arms."

After all, undress and go to bed.

Wei Young knew that brothers and sisters shouldn't do this anymore, but she couldn't stop her deep love for him, she didn't refuse, and leaned into his warm embrace.

"The first stop of the Western Expedition is Beiliang."

An Yunhao's words made Wei Young caress Chengxi's hand and tremble, Bei Liang is digging his own grave, originally An Yunhao didn't want to attack the allies, now that Bei Liang is provoking, there is no alliance agreement anymore.

"I know." Wei Young said softly, "Can you let Ming Yi go?"

She didn't know if he would be angry if she said this, but this was what she thought in her heart.Too many tragedies in Beiliang were caused by the emperor of Beiliang, and have nothing to do with them.

An Yunhao was silent, and said after a long time, "If he resists tenaciously, there is nothing I can do."

Wei Young was silent, she didn't know how to persuade An Yunhao, and she didn't know what qualifications she had to say these words.He just leaned into An Yunhao's arms and said, "I know that war is inevitable, and I also know that many times I can't be merciful, but I don't want Ming Yi to die. If I didn't have him in Beiliang, maybe I would have died."

"I know all of this." An Yunhao hugged her tightly, "No one knows what will happen in the battlefield, maybe it's not him who dies, but me!"

"Yun Hao!" Wei Young paled in panic, "You promised me that you will be fine, and you will come back safely."

"Well, I remember." He smiled, Wei Young turned around, stretched out her little finger and said, "Let's pull the hook."

An Yunhao laughed, "I don't want it, a child's trick. I am the emperor, I keep my word, and I will never let you go."

"No, I believe this even more." Wei Young insisted, An Yunhao smiled and stretched out her little finger to hook her.Wei Young finally had a smile on his face, "We have pulled the check mark, you must be well, and Tian Qi and Liang Ying, you all have to go safely and return safely."

"I promise, don't worry, go to sleep!"

"Yun Hao, I want to go too." Wei Young thought about it for a few days, and then said, "Chengxi and I go out with the army, okay, our family is together, we advance and retreat together, we..."

"No!" An Yunhao replied decisively, Wei Young was about to ask for help, An Yunhao said again, "You and Chengxi went, it will only distract me, and I have to send someone to protect, and Chengxi is so young , aren’t you afraid that the gunfire will frighten him?”

"I'm afraid, but I'm more worried about you. I heard that the Western Expedition is difficult and dangerous, you guys."

"Don't worry, the Western Expedition has sent twice as many troops as the Eastern Expedition. There is no problem at all." He comforted Wei Young, and said, "Don't say you are going, don't let me worry. You and Chengxi stays in the palace well, the mother still needs your care, you can’t join the army, and women are not allowed in the army. I can’t break the rules of the barracks because of you, how can a person who can’t be strict with himself be able to convince the public? If you If you want me to be at ease, just stay in the palace obediently and wait for me to come back."

Wei Young didn't speak, just hugged him, buried her head in his chest, listened to his strong and powerful heartbeat, and prayed to God in her heart again and again to bless him in safety.

On this farewell night, she hoped that time could slow down a little bit, so that she could spend more time with him.In the past, she was afraid of the dark, longed for the dawn, and longed for the sun to shine down, but this night she was the opposite, praying that the dawn would not come.

However, what should come will always come.

That night, they embraced and slept together, but neither of them fell asleep.

At daybreak, someone outside announced that everyone was ready and was waiting for the emperor to set off.

Seeing that An Yunhao responded, Wei Yang didn't pretend to be asleep, she got up and said, "You don't need to announce to others today, how about I help you get dressed?"

He smiled and nodded, "Okay!"

Wei Young took out the plain clothes he was wearing on the road, and put them on one by one, the movements were so slow, but there was still a moment when they were finished.She embroidered a new girdle for him, which is just in time for him.There was also a peace talisman in it, and now she wished she could stick a big peace talisman on his forehead.

"I'm leaving!" He hugged her gently, "When I'm not here, you have to take good care of yourself, eat well, sleep well, as long as you're well, I'll be fine with everything. I'm going to lay down the western territory and let Chengxi There will be no worries in the future.”

"In Chengxi's eyes, what he wants most is his father, not the territory. Yunhao, no matter what time you have to remember, you are the emperor and the father of your child. You have to take good care of yourself and protect yourself , I, Chengxi, and the queen mother are waiting for you in the palace, you have to remember to come back early." She said, kissed him on the cheek, and hugged him tightly again, and he hugged back in the same way she.

The urging started again outside, An Yunhao said, "I have to go!"

Saying that, she let go of Wei Young, held the saber on the table, and strode away without looking back.

Wei Young wanted to call his name, but couldn't, and just watched him disappear at the end of the corridor.Suddenly the sound of horns sounded outside the hall, it was the sound of an expedition, her heart was suddenly in turmoil, and she rushed out of Leping Palace with Chengxi in her arms, and ran all the way to the highest tower of the palace.

She had a panoramic view of the long line, and she saw three people walking in the front, namely General Lei Shuo, An Yunhao, and Gao Tianqi.As expected, Liang Ying also followed, following behind Gao Tianqi.

"Yun Hao, An Yun Hao!"

She just wanted to shout his name, but unfortunately, it was all drowned out by the deafening horns and gongs and drums.She just stood on the city tower, watching her lover, relatives, and friends ride away on horseback.

It took two years for the Eastern Expedition, how many years for the Western Expedition?She missed him as soon as we separated, how difficult it would be to count the time to live in the future.

"Chengxi, look, the one on the horseback is your father!" Wei Yang signaled Chengxi to look at An Yunhao, but the little child didn't understand, he just looked at her innocently with his dark eyes open. .

She suddenly had a sore nose, he was only so young, and he hadn't learned to be called father emperor and mother concubine, so An Yunhao was no longer by his side.If Xizheng really takes three to five years, her Chengxi can speak, but she still can't find anyone to call her father.

The wind was blowing, she held Chengxi tightly in her arms, and watched the team pass by.Gradually farther and farther away, all the people in the city came to see him off. It was even more lively than during the Eastern Expedition, and there was a lot of people everywhere.

Wei Young stood on a high place, but he also felt as if he was drowning in the crowd. He couldn't see her, and he never looked back.Just riding on the horse so majesticly, walking steadily forward.

Wei Young follows them with her eyes, praying in her heart again and again that they will return safely and be reunited with their families.Even though Xizheng was a sure-win battle in their eyes, Wei Young was still worried, after all, the battlefield has always been a sword without eyes.People say that no one has returned to the battlefield since ancient times, and she is afraid of that scene. They went there in such a mighty way today, and they will come back in such a mighty way in the future.

As if he could feel her gaze, An Yunhao at the front of the line suddenly raised his head sideways, and finally saw Wei Young on the tower.He grinned and waved at her.Gao Tianqi and Liang Ying at the side also saw it and waved at her.Every face is filled with youthful smiles, and they always smile happily in order to reassure her.

She raised her hand to wave goodbye to them, with a smile on her lips.However, his heart was full of bitterness.

An Yunhao rode his horse forward, turning around from time to time, she was always there.He didn't worry about how it was possible, the only thing he could do now was to come back safely.Everyone can come back safely. They are not alone, and they all carry the expectations of a group of people behind them.

The team gradually drifted away, Wei Young stood on the city tower for a whole day, and the expedition team had already disappeared at the end of the road.She still refused to leave, just staring at the direction they left.

Wei Young had no choice but to go down the tower until dusk fell, when guards came upstairs and said that they were about to change their guards.My heart was suddenly empty, without An Yunhao's palace, it was so lonely.

She should be thankful that she still has a son, so that when she is tormented by longing, there is still a child who can comfort her.

Just such a person walking aimlessly in the palace, although there are palace ladies following behind, none of them are Zhixi, and none of them she can accept again.They didn't dare to approach, but followed from a distance, and occasionally came up to ask, "Your Majesty, are you tired, this servant is here to hug the prince."

Every time Wei Young refused, her hands were a little numb, but she didn't want to let Cheng Xi go.Only by holding him can the void in her heart be filled, so that she will not be too lonely.

Walking and walking, she finally arrived at Fengyi Palace, Wei Young also wondered how she got here.Thinking of An Yunhao's entrustment to take care of his mother, Wei Young didn't back down and walked in.The queen mother didn't seem to see her off today, and she was probably sad in the room. Wei Young suddenly wanted to chant scriptures with her, not for repentance, but for blessing.Pray for An Yunhao, for Gao Tianqi, for Ming Yi, and for all those who went west.

There was no queen mother in the Buddhist hall, Wei Yang asked the maid, "Where is the queen mother?"

"The Empress Dowager is in the backyard."

As soon as the maid finished speaking, Wei Young walked towards the backyard, even though the maid said that the Queen Mother told her not to disturb her, she still went stubbornly.Because she knew that Concubine Li was imprisoned there.

Sure enough, as soon as he entered the backyard, he heard the Queen Mother and Concubine Li arguing, no court ladies dared to approach the backyard, Wei Young handed Chengxi to the nanny who had been following her all along, and went in alone.At the door of a room, I heard the noise inside.

The voice of Concubine Li was the first to be heard, and her lazy tone was full of complacency, "Queen Mother, it's none of my business to send your son to death. You are making a scene here, which is really out of the Queen Mother's demeanor."

"Don't say these sarcastic remarks to Ai's family. If you didn't talk nonsense, would he not be able to accept running to the battlefield for a while? Lin Yuexia, you killed your own daughter, and it's not enough for her to hate you so much for marrying Liang Guo. Now you are here to harm my son again, you." Angrily, the Queen Mother threw the vase on the table to Concubine Li's feet.

Concubine Li was not afraid, but she laughed instead, "Queen Mother, take a look at your current appearance in the mirror, you look like a crazy woman, you are simply uneducated. If you hate me so much, just kill me, why bother?" ?”

"Kill you? It's not worthwhile to kill you and Aijia!"

"So you still remember!" Concubine Li smiled wryly. "When we married Jinlan, we said that we don't want to live together but die together. I didn't expect you to remember. Now that you remember, how can you have the heart to kill Lan Luo and kill her?" The only son? It is useless to snatch the fifth prince and make you a queen, and then create a drowning accident and kill him, Zhao Xun, why are you such a vicious woman?"
