454. Chapter 454 Her existence may embarrass Nangong Shuo
Then, Shangguan Cheng stood up and said, "I am willing to accept everything. I just ask you to protect me, Xiao Yu."
Shangguan Cheng's words made Nangong Shuo's heart tighten.
Seeing that he was supposed to be Beixuan's minister, his father-in-law, a general who never bowed his head on the battlefield, but now he was kneeling in front of him in such a humble tone, just to beg his daughter to be safe.
And what about him?
He kept saying how much he loved Xiaoyu, but how much of what he did during this period was really about Xiaoyu.
How many times have I made up my mind to protect her, but I always let her be bullied.
Thinking of this, Nangong Shuo's self-blame became even stronger.
He stood up slowly, walked to Shangguancheng, leaned down to help him up, and said solemnly: "I will do everything I can to protect her."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Shangguan Cheng was relieved, he knew that Nangong Shuo's words were not so much a promise to him as they were to Xiao Yu.
As long as Xiao Yu can be careful, he will die without regrets.
The only person I'm sorry for is everyone in his Shangguan family. Since he lost, he can only feel sorry for them.
Today's sun looked particularly bright, but it made Shangguan Yu feel a little more dazzling than usual, and he felt inexplicably panicked.
She pressed her aching chest, feeling a trace of uneasiness stirring in her chest.
She frowned and saw Yu'er happily running in from outside the courtyard gate, rushed to her and said:
"Your Majesty, good news came from the palace. The emperor has won the battle and has returned to the capital with those rebels. It's great..."
Yu'er's expression didn't last long, and she immediately calmed down. She reached out and slapped herself secretly.
She is so stupid. Why is she still so happy at this time? The traitor is the general and the queen's biological father. Although it is a good thing for Manchao Shanxia, for the queen, no matter who wins or loses, it will be a big loss.
Not something to be happy about.
The corners of Shangguan Yu's mouth were a little stiff, and he didn't know whether he should laugh or not.
The war that she was looking forward to ending soon was finally over, and the funny thing was that no matter what the outcome was, she couldn't face it.
"Yeah?"
In the end, she could only squeeze out these two words gently from her mouth, which seemed a little weak.
Shangguancheng was defeated, which meant that as the general's daughter, she had to be dealt with.
Even if Nangong Shuo tried his best to protect her, the courtiers and the Wang family would not let her go.
Her presence would probably embarrass Nangong Shuo.
"Empress..."
Yu'er walked to Shangguan Yu, looked at her dim eyes, and didn't know how to comfort her.
At this time, no comfort will be of any use.
Shangguan Yu forced a smile and said, "That's great. The world in Beixuan is gradually becoming more peaceful."
She smiled very reluctantly. She was clearly feeling terribly uncomfortable, but she couldn't express it or talk to anyone.
After such news reached the palace, the happiest people were none other than those in the Wang family.
Once Shangguancheng was defeated, Shangguanyu would be out of business.
Although the emperor is a man of ten thousand people, he cannot ignore the laws of the country. It will be difficult for him to keep Shangguan Yu this time.
"Lin'er, the emperor is going back to Beijing, so prepare to be the queen."
