Chapter 562: The Empress's Road Begins

Li Cao was very convinced of Li Chengqian's words, but her eyes still showed deep worry.

"Cao'er, listen to your father, go and get busy with you first, your mother, the aunts will help you watch, go" Xia Ju saw that Li Cao was still very worried, so she stepped forward and hugged Li Cao, helped her comb the scattered hair on her forehead and said to her.

"Well, thank you, auntie, Cao'er listens to you, father, aunt, my mother will please you" After speaking, Li Cao knelt down and kowtowed to Li Chengqian and them three times, and then turned to leave.

In the next few days, Li Cao has been dealing with all kinds of things, but even so, she will take time to visit her mother every day, even if Yang Yan'er hasn't seen her once, she will come as scheduled.

"Mother, are you there? Can Cao'er come in? On this day, Li Cao came again, and she stood outside the door and shouted.

"Come in" Originally, Li Cao still didn't have much hope today, but just when she waited for a while and was about to leave, a voice came from inside, which made Li Cao ecstatic and hurried in.

As soon as he entered, Li Cao hadn't opened his mouth yet, and Yang Yan'er had already run over and grabbed Li Cao's ears and scolded there.

"You dead girl, why can't you be like your eldest sister, let your mother save snacks, when you went to lead the troops to fight, your mother was already worried about dying, this is finally back, you have to leave again, and you are still going to fight overseas, what kind of empress, is it not good to be safe and stable at home?"

"Mother, it hurts, it hurts" Li Cao, who was scolded, covered his ears and shouted pain there.

"Dead girl, do you know it hurts? I really want to kill you, save me from worrying, and your father also said, if you don't want to go, we can not go at all, and your grandfather will not talk about things with orders, girl, can we not go" Yang Yan'er looked at the second daughter who was screaming in pain in front of her, and said to her with an expectant face.

"Mother, it used to be my father and my grandfather who wanted me to go, as for the reason, my father told you, but now it's different, now I want to go, I want to realize the ideal in my heart, to build an empire with equality between men and women and even women, and mother, think about it, if this thing is really done by your daughter and me, then you don't have to wait for my brother to become the emperor, you are already the queen mother, isn't it very powerful" Li Cao looked at his mother and said very seriously.

"Dead girl, you die for the old lady, the old lady is rare to be the queen mother, I'm worried about you, you say that if you really fight all the way, then when will you be able to get married, and if you really become the emperor, who is worthy of you, and who dares to marry you, have you ever thought about this" Yang Yan'er patted Li Cao angrily, and then said to her worriedly.

"Mother, this is not in a hurry, I am only a few years old, it's okay to get married later, mother, don't talk about this, let's talk about the rest! For example........."

Hearing his mother talk about his marriage again, Li Cao quickly diverted the topic, and Yang Yan'er thought that her second daughter was leaving, and she didn't insist, so she talked to Li Cao about some other parents.

And with Yang Yan'er's consent, or compromise, Li Cao spent the next few days under the favor of Yang Yan'er and others.

But such a time is short-lived after all, and the moment of parting is also quietly coming.

On this day, Li Cao got up early, and after her mother and aunt helped her put on her battle armor, they went to Li Chengqian to say goodbye.

When they found Li Chengqian, Li Chengqian was standing on a towering reef by the sea with his hands behind his back, looking at the prepared warship, not knowing what he was thinking.

"You're here, so let's take a look at the newborn sunshine on the seashore! I want the family to watch it once in the future, I don't know when it will be" Li Chengqian, who heard the voice, looked back and saw that it was Xia Ju and the others coming, so he waved at them and said to them.

Hearing Li Chengqian's words, they consciously stood beside Li Chengqian, waiting for the morning sun to rise from the sea.

The waiting time is always long, but when the red sun slowly rises from the surface of the sea, the light reflects the sea and the sky so beautifully.

"Cao'er, go! Your soldiers are waiting for you, taking them to fulfill your dreams and build a kingdom in your mind, but do you remember, when you are tired, you will come back, even if it is a day back, there are people waiting for you at home" When the red day completely rose from the sea, Li Chengqian looked back at Li Cao and said to her affectionately.

"Dad, thank you, thank you for everything, Cao'er will always remember your words, and she will always be your daughter, father, mother, aunt, take care, Cao'er went" Hearing Li Chengqian's words, Li Cao's eyes shed tears, and knelt down at Li Chengqian and Yang Yan'er, and said to Li Chengqian, after she said that she kowtowed to Li Chengqian and them several times, she stood up with a firm expression and walked towards the warship.

Li Chengqian watched all this like that, without superfluous words, until Li Cao boarded the warship, knelt down and saluted them again, and then gave the order to set off in a loud voice, whether it was Yang Yan'er or Li Chengqian, who was the mother, they all shed tears.

"Okay, don't cry, after all, the young eagle always has to leave his parents and fight the sky alone, and now we should be happy to see Cao'er leave" In the end, Li Chengqian secretly wiped away his tears and comforted the four girls who were still crying tightly in his arms.

"Husband, we all know what you said, but Cao'er is a girl after all! I really don't understand why she chose such a path, I still remember when she first arrived in the East Palace, that stubborn and scared look, I still can't forget it" Xia Ju leaned on Li Chengqian's arms and whispered to Li Chengqian.

"Yes, Cao'er was still so young at that time, but now she has grown up, has her own ideals, and fights for her own ideals, isn't it great? Okay, it's windy on the beach, let's go back first" Li Chengqian also said with great feelings, and took them back after speaking.

After sending Li Cao away, Li Chengqian and the others did not rush back to Chang'an, but waited there for more than ten days, and only after receiving the news that Li Cao had arrived safely from Dongying, they breathed a sigh of relief, and then set off back to Chang'an.

Of course, when he went back, Li Chengqian still instructed the commander of Silla Mingwei to send all the news from Li Cao to Chang'an as soon as possible, and do a good job of logistical support, especially after Li Cao gained a firm foothold in Dongying, he immediately sent Mingwei's men and horses over, set up a good intelligence agency there, and transmit all the news about Li Cao in real time.
