Xiao Wumian's eyes were full of doubts, but Shen Huan laughed sadly.
Why won't she come back to him? She smiled and said slowly: "He said he killed so many people because of me. I believe him and shouldn't hate him. But, I also killed so many people." Not for him, but for myself, for revenge! In the end, even his biological mother died in my hands..."
Xiao Wumian took a breath and looked at her blankly. She smiled bitterly and said: "The Queen Mother did kill my aunt and killed everyone my sister left to me. Although my aunt and sister are not close, But after all, it was my parents who watched me grow up and raised me, so... they are all my relatives. In order to take revenge, I killed the Queen Mother and Xichen’s mother."
"Then does he know?"
"I don't know, maybe I don't know? If he knew that I was the murderer of his mother, would he still love me? I don't think so."
There was another long silence, the night wind in March was still cold, some flowers and trees were planted on all sides of the flower hall, and there was a faint fragrance coming from the palace lanterns burning like torches on all sides. Shen Han wrapped her cloak tightly and leaned back. Sitting on the chair, looking up at the dark sky
On the horizon, a cold moon is like frost
Before the moonlight touched the store, it was obscured by the shining palace lanterns
From the top of the square flower hall, only a small piece of sky can be seen. The four corners are carved with jade railings, which seem to lock the moon. Sometimes, thin clouds and mist float over, covering the moon, making it hazy. Yes, it seems to be covered with a veil
The moonlight is not as bright as that of the flower hall, only the few palace lanterns illuminate the flowers and trees on all sides, and the fragrance of March is faintly scented by pear blossoms and apricot blossoms. Originally, there were several willow trees planted here. Just because of Shen Huan's words, those willow trees became was removed
Shen Wen didn't like the willow tree, saying it had too much yin energy. Xiao Wumian sympathized with her overthinking during pregnancy and did as she asked.
It's just a few willow trees, so you can write whatever you want, but what we are facing now is the foundation of the country!
Xiao Wumian broke the silence and said: "In that case, when I go to court tomorrow, I will tell you all that the Ministry of War will prepare to train soldiers. I think we still have at least three months to prepare ourselves to resist foreign enemies."
Shen Huan nodded according to his intention: "Three months is not a long time, nor is it a short time."
Xiao Wumian asked again as if he wanted to be sure: "Has His Highness really decided to devote all the country's troops to resist the navy of the Northern Kingdom?"
Shen Huan closed his eyes and said nothing, Xiao Wumian comforted him: "Actually, the Northern Navy is not strong, but only tens of thousands of people, and they have just started training now. The Northerners have never been familiar with the nature of water, and it is unknown who will win and who will lose. number"
He was talking to himself, and Shen Huan suddenly said: "If the Northern Kingdom crosses the river, I will lead the people in the city, the court ministers, and all the treasures to submit to the Northern Kingdom."
Xiao Wumian was stunned and turned pale with shock. His voice trembled and he shouted: "Your Highness!"
Shen Huan opened her eyes, smiled at him, and said: "Don't be afraid, I just asked you to spread the news. Whether it is true or not is another matter."
Xiao Wumian was puzzled: "What does Your Highness mean?"
Shen Huan calmed down and said seriously: "It doesn't matter if others don't know this news, but there is one person who must know it."
"Who?"
"Ye Cangqiong!"
Once Ye Cangqiong knows the news, will he still sit back and ignore it?
He also saw Chu Xichen's affection for Shen Huan. If Shen Huan also had unresolved feelings for Chu Xichen, it would not be impossible to lead the Southern Kingdom to submit to the Northern Kingdom.
By then, will he still have time to attack the Northern Kingdom? He will definitely prevent the Southern Kingdom from surrendering to the Northern Kingdom. Then... before the Northern Kingdom's navy lands, he will land on the Southern Kingdom's land first and prevent the outcome that scares him most from happening!
After this news spreads, regardless of whether the Northern Kingdom will go to war with the Southern Kingdom, the Western Kingdom will definitely do so!
Chu Xichen, you killed the Shen family to promise to be with me. I shouldn't blame you. But, I killed your mother, how can you let me enjoy your love with peace of mind?
Therefore, we are destined to never go back to the past
Three days later, Xiao Wumian brought news. As expected, the Western Kingdom also began to train its navy.
"Then, let's start preparing for war!" Shen Huan said calmly.
Xiao Wumian took the order and left, and the war between the Three Kingdoms was about to break out!
In April, Xiao Wumian took Shen Huan to the river to inspect the troops.
Shen Huan wears a golden robe embroidered with hundreds of birds facing the phoenix, underneath a goose yellow peony skirt embroidered with gold thread on the chest, a golden belt with a dragon coiled around her waist, and shoes embroidered with auspicious clouds.
She was two and a half months pregnant at this time, and her lower abdomen was not obvious. In order to make herself more comfortable, she only wore a gold crown on her head without any other modifications.
But just like this, she looks more and more like an empress.
On the gray river surface, as far as the eye can see, dozens of large ships and countless small boats are lined up along the river. Soldiers are on board, and some are training on the shore.
Shen Huan followed Xiao Wumian to the turret. Xiao Wumian stood facing the wind, his dark purple cloak was rolled up by the wind. His figure was still as handsome as an immortal. His long flowing hair was picked up by the wind and slid over his shoulders, which confused Shen Huan. Huan's eyes
Xiao Wumian, in the court, he was a courageous acting king; in the Zichen Palace, he was a gentle and handsome man; and here, he was a brave and invincible general.
The cold wind on the river brought slightly humid water vapor to his face. Shen Huan narrowed his eyes. Her arrival gave the soldiers morale and confidence.
"What are our chances of winning?" She still couldn't help but ask, although in Shen Huan's heart, she didn't know whether she wanted Nan Guo to win or lose.
Xiao Wumian said: "If the two northwest countries meet before landing, the southern country has a much greater chance of winning. But if they meet after landing, the chance of winning is very slim."
Shen Huan frowned: "Are you worried that the two countries in the northwest will jointly attack the south?"
Xiao Wumian nodded and said: "But maybe, there will be a melee situation among the Three Kingdoms. In short, a fierce battle is inevitable."
Shen Huan pursed her lips, raised her head and looked at the endless river and horizon and said in a low voice: "I am really an ominous person. Just after you welcomed me back to my country, I brought war to the southern country."
Xiao Wumian hurriedly said: "How can your Highness think so? It is a blessing for the people of our country that His Highness can return to the country!"
Shen Huan smiled helplessly at him, and then asked: "I have known you for so long, but why have I never heard that you have a wife, or even a concubine? With your grace, people are attracted to you. Much more than that?"
Xiao Wumian did not hide anything and said with a smile: "Before, my acting prince had dozens of concubines at least in his palace, but since I wanted to welcome His Highness back to the country, I have sent them all away."
Shen Huan was surprised: "Why?"
Xiao Wumian smiled openly and said: "In order to assist His Highness wholeheartedly."
Shen Huan looked at him in surprise. His smile was gentle, and his jade-like face was quiet, noble and elegant.
