Chapter 282: The Imperial Expedition (3)

Xichen wanted to drive the expedition in person, and it really caused controversy in the court, two-thirds of the courtiers opposed it, and the other one-third did not completely agree, but hoped that the emperor would "think twice".

There was no fault in the court, and Xichen returned to the palace to lose his temper and scolded those old men for being pedantic! In fact, Shen Wan was also reluctant to do this matter, seeing that he was so resolute, she didn't advise again, and when he finished venting, after a while, she asked: "Can the concubine ask the emperor, why do you have to do it in person?" ”

Xichen sighed slowly, put his hands on Shen Wan's shoulders and said, "Wanwan, you were taken away from the south by Ye Canghao, it has always been a pain in my heart!" I swear that I must personally break through the country of his western country and personally slash the Ye brothers! I know that you have suffered a lot in the Western Kingdom, Ye Cangqiong is not a good person, he is very embarrassed for you, isn't he? But don't worry, I'm going to kill him myself! ”

Shen Wan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly asked, "You want to go to the West Country in person, is it for me?" ”

Xichen nodded and said, "It's not entirely for you, the royal drive can inspire the courage of the soldiers more, and the chance of winning is greater!" ”

Shen Wan was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Since this is the case, the concubine will not stop the emperor, presumably since the emperor's mind has been firmed, no one can change it." The adults in the court should soon be able to understand the emperor's intentions, right? She nodded lightly and said, "The emperor's personal expedition should be an ironclad matter." ”

Xichen laughed, took her into his arms, and said with a smile: "I know that the person who knows me best is you." He hugged Shen Wan tightly, but he didn't know that Shen Wan smiled bitterly in his heart, his time in the West must be a thorn in his heart that he could never pull out, right? This time, he was going to pull out the thorn, and if he stopped it, it would add to his suspicions. Then, let him go with confidence. Although the battlefield in the west is dangerous, it will not make him, the emperor, desperate. All he had to do was sit in his tent and make some arrangements.

Under Xichen's strong request, the ministers in the court finally compromised and decided to obey the emperor's arrangement, and the emperor himself went to the western battlefield with the rest of the army in September to take back the rest of the three continents!

The remaining time is only about ten days, in these ten days, Xichen will arrange the affairs of the capital as much as possible, with King Yi regent, Sanzai auxiliary government, King Zhong also went out with the emperor this time, it is said that this is King Zhong's own strong request. In fact, the most longing of King Zhong since he was a child is to go to the battlefield to fight, but he has been a prince since he was a child, and he can't be involved in danger at all.

But what Shen Wan didn't expect was that this time Xichen handed over the political affairs of the DPRK to the Xichao, and the last time he sneaked into the western country, he also handed over the political affairs to the Xichao, does he really trust the Xichao 100%?

Such a question can't be asked, and Xichen is too suspicious, if he knocks on the side, I'm afraid it will arouse his suspicion again. But so reassuring and bold, he must indeed trust Xichao very much, right?

Before Shen Wan could ask this question, Xichen said it himself, saying that he did not fulfill his father's will, leaving behind the scourge of Shen Lan today and this throne was originally left by his father to the twelfth brother, if he is not the emperor in the future, this throne should also be passed to the twelfth brother. At the end, he asked Shen Wan: "Wanwan, you once asked me if the emperor's family really has flesh and blood." So you should know by now that there is, right? I'm sorry for the court, I took you away from him, if I want to return the throne to him in the future, will you be with me, or will you choose to be with him? ”

Shen Wan looked into his eyes and asked softly, "Even if you win the world in the future, will the emperor give up his position?" ”

Xichen was stunned and didn't answer her immediately. Shen Wan smiled and said, "This question is indeed too difficult to answer, so let's just assume that the concubine didn't ask!" So, the emperor's question, the concubine will not answer it for the time being, is it okay? ”

Xichen's eyes dimmed, and he smiled reluctantly: "There is no question of the problem, so I won't answer." After thinking about it, he said, "By the way, I will take Ru Man with me on this expedition." ”

Shen Wan exclaimed: "How can the emperor take his concubines there?" Isn't the emperor afraid of shaking the hearts of the army? ”

Xichen said helplessly: "No way, that girl cried many times when she heard that I was going to drive the expedition in person, and said that she must follow me, she wants to see me safe." Although his tone was helpless, there was a trace of relief and emotion in his eyes.

A thought suddenly surged in Shen Wan's heart: Was he testing himself just now? To test whether you will choose to cherish the dynasty. The thought was so terrifying that she quickly pressed it. But Xichen's feelings for Zhong Guifei seem to have changed. Maybe it was just a substitute at the beginning, but now, his eyes clearly betrayed himself.

"If the emperor wants to take it, take it." Even if the words were said lightly, there was still a trace of resentment.

Xichen came back to his senses and said with a smile: "What? It's delicious again. He returned to his normal face and said: "This girl is too innocent to be in the palace, I want to take her out this time and send him home!" You don't have to bring it back to the palace. ”

"Your Majesty?" Shen Wan was surprised again.

"Well," Xichen made sure she heard correctly, and continued, "I don't want to let such a simple girl, because she has survived in the palace for a long time, become the same as the woman in this harem, and no longer be her original self." ”

Shen Wan was silent for a long time before muttering, "It's a pity that I've become the same as them." ”

"Of course Wanwan is different, at least, in my heart, she will always be the little girl who picks locust flowers." Xichen said lightly.

The two stared at each other and embraced each other quietly, just because their time together would not last long, and they would not see each other for a long time.

Soon it was September, Xichen put on a military uniform, rode a royal horse, and swore an oath on the city tower, showing the power of heaven in front of the three armies, and the three armies were excited: "Roar! Roar! Roar! "I almost want to shatter my eardrums. If you go to the battlefield with such morale, you will be indestructible! It's overwhelming!

Shen Wan stood next to Xichen, wearing the most dazzling red, secretly holding Xichen's hand, and then let go, just because Xichen was about to step down the city tower and go to the battlefield with the soldiers!

Xichen rode on his war horse, took the soldiers of the three armies, and set off slowly.

Until the entire team disappeared, leaving only the rolling yellow sand, Shen Wan still stood on the city gate and did not leave. Gently squeezed the hand that he had just held him, and sighed in his heart: I must come back safely!
