“Feng Xue greets Master” Feng Xue held the breakfast in his hand and after stooping to make his salutations, he set down the breakfast on he table beside him and said in a tentative tone: “Master, Feng Xue sees that you didn’t bring any attendants out here. Since Feng Xue is staying here, Feng Xue will serve you. General Jiang ordered these breakfast foods to be made. Initially, she wanted to invite you to dine with her, but Feng Xue thought that you must prefer quieter settings and hence brought them in instead, so….is this okay?”
Feng Xue was afraid that his own opinions would offend his Master, but he had done so after much deliberation. Master was not an ordinary person and didn’t actually like to eat such normal foods.
“En, Anhui, if you are hungry, let’s eat together.” Liyou did not mind Feng Xue’s self-assertion and called out to Anhui to sit down together, but Feng Xue was still standing to the side cautiously….
Liyou raised her eyebrows and said, “What, you don’t want to sit?”
Feng Xue listened to Liyou’s words and then showed a happy smile. He sat down carefully and looked at Liyou with a pair of pure silver pupils, the emotion and joy in his eyes undisquiges.
The breakfast for the three of them was quite quiet. Liyou only drank a cup of tea from the beginning to the end. She had already had her real breakfast earlier this morning and these kinds of various bits and bobs were truly unbearable.
Feng Xue did not particularly like these items either, but there was still Anhui present. After working hard all night, he was truly famished. At the beginning, he had been very reserved, but neither of them would eat, one drinking tea and the other one drinking water. No matter how reserved he was, he felt embarrassed….
“Your Majesty, Young Master Feng Xue, are you able to even skip meals?” Anhui could not help but ask this a little embarassedely. It was fine if they didn’t eat but the Empress’ gaze was always on him, intentionally or unintentionally. Normally, he would be very happy that the Empress had noticed him, but now he felt only embarrassed. The smile in the Empress’ eyes was too obvious and it seemed as if it was laughing at him…..
“Do not worry about us, just eat.” Liyou took a sip of tea and said this casually.
Anhui’s expression stiffened. Why did he feel like the Empress was teasing him? Alas, even if he knw that the Empress was teasing him, it was not like he could do anything about it.
Anhui set down his chopsticks and said to Liyou: “Empress, this subordinate is full. If you are finished, then this subordinate will pack it up.” Although he still felt a little hungry, it was better not to eat in this case.
“No, you eat more.” Liyou intuitively rejected Anhui’s proposal. Looking at Anhui’s appearance, she knew that he was not fully yet. How could she let him go hungry? There were still many things to be done today. She would feel uncomfortable if she left Anhui hungry.
Anhui felt inwardly aggrieved. They didn’t eat and only looked at him. Even not eating was not okay, wasn’t the Empress clearly making fun of him? But if he didn’t eat, would it be considered as disobeying orders?
Seeing Anhui’s hesitation, Liyou didn’t say anymore, just picking up her chopsticks and putting some food onto Anhui’s plate, “Eat”.
This time it was impossible for Anhui to not eat, but he suddenly felt like his thinking seemed to be a bit wrong. Although the Empress looked at his embarrassed expression of eating alone, with a teasing look on her face, that sentence was not to see him in an uneasy situation, but it should be out of concern…..
“Eat your fill, there are still many things to be done.” Seeing that Anhui was still in a daze, Liyou had to say a few more words. Thinking back on it, Anhui concluded that it must be the case and his heart suddenly felt warm and he began to use his chopsticks to eat.
During this time, Liyou watched Anhui fiercely scarfing down food and naturally poured him a cup of tea. “Eat slowly, such an adult should not choke.” Why did this man act like such a child sometimes/ Liyou felt that she seemed to have seen a different side to Anhui.
Robustness, tenacity, this was the first impression Anhui had given her. Inferiority complex, stubborn, loyal, submissive, these were what she had learned about Anhui after interacting with him. And now, there was a thread of foolishness in this pure Anhui, and he looked just like a child….
Feng Xue had been watching from the sidelines with indescribable envy in his heart. He had already known of this woman’s tenderness for a long time. As early as when she had rescued him, he had understood that her tenderness was not with sweet words or gentleness. Her tenderness was found in daily life, it was warmth and love that needed to be experienced with the heart….
He had received some, but kept hoping for more. Not because he was greedy, but because this kind of tenderness was too addictive. He could not stop himself from missing this kind of tenderness, but it didn’t matter if he could not receive it right now. His lifespan was very long and he would persist until the day that she accepted him!
After breakfast, Liyou asked people to summon that military advisor that had been captured by Feng Xue. Everyone waited for about a quarter of an hour and the person in charge of extorting the confession appeared in front of everyone with a man covered in blood in tow, looking like a sorry figure. Liyou’s eyebrows jumped up, but she didn’t say a word. She waved her hands to let the military advisor go and he fell to the ground.
“What did you all ask?” She was quite curious about this strategist.
“Replying to the Empress, this person’s identity is Sang Ziyan, the fifth prince of the Sang Empire. He is also serving as a military advisor of the Sang Empire’s army at this time. The Sang Empire’s royal family has a tradition…..” The soldier in charge of extorting the confession repeated the information that had been told by Sang Ziyan one by one.一一Additionally to the secret of the Sang Empire’s royal family, there was also some obtained information about the Sang Empire’s army, which would be quite useful for this war.”
“En, you all can go rest.” Looking at the prince’s injuries, he knew that these people had not rested all night and Liyou let the soldiers who extorted the confession to rest, leaving the dying man on the ground.
This was the third of the princes of the Sang Kingdom she had met. Each prince was very different and so were there personalities. However, in her opinion, she still preferred Sang Zixin’s weak temperature the most. He may be delicate but he also knew how to persevere.
The man lying on the ground moved, his eyes half-opened and he was very weak. But, when he saw Qianhe Liyou, his eyes flickered abruptly, but it returned to a bleak look. Just what was he looking forward to? This person was the Empress of the Qianhe Dynasty, his enemy, and he had been thoroughly embarrassed today thanks to her!
“Hmph, hate zhen?” Liyou’s gaze swept Sang Ziyan’s body from head to toe, observing that there was not one palace that seemed to be intact. It seemed that this person had received quite a bit of discipline and he must have persisted for quite a long time.
Hearing Liyou’s words, Sang Ziyan raised his head with some effort, a grieved expression appeared on his pale face, “If you want to kill or cut off the flesh, do as you see fit. Since I have fallen into your hands, I do not hope to go back alive!”
Everytime Sang Ziyan said a word, he felt extreme pain. In order to prevent him from biting his tongue and comitting suicide, he had suffered a lot….
“It is too easy to have you die. Zhen does not want to see your death just yet. What do you say to being sent outside the gates of the Yuling Pass and showing the people of the Sang Empire how their military advisors were reduced to such a state of embarrassment?” Many people were afraid of death, but there were also those who were not afraid. But not being afraid of death did not mean they were not afraid of anything.”
“Soldiers can be killed but must not be disgraced! Just what exactly do you want to know, I have already told you all that I know! Why bother humiliating me!” Sang Ziyan did not understand why he was being treated like this. If it was to extract information from him, it shouldn’t be like this. It was deliberately humiliating him, did they have a grudge against him?
Sang Ziyan’s clever mind could not figure it out, but he always felt like there was something strange.
When Liyou heard Sang Ziyan’s question, she did not feel the need to answer. She just wanted to humiliate him, he who had almost hurt Feng Xue!
On the other hand, Feng Xue thought about it carefully, an incredible look flashing in his eyes, “Master, is it because of me?”
Knowing that his Master cared for him, he never thought that she would have cared so much about his safety, to the point that they would punish someone that hadn’t really hurt him…Feng Xue wondered, was this really because of him?
“Hmph, zhen will never allow anyone to hurt zhen’s people in front of me. You all belong to zhen, no one else has the right to touch you!” Such a simple truth, Liyou did not think there was anything wrong. In her mind, it should be so.
After hearing these words, Sang Ziyan’s first thoughts were not of hatred or regret, but envy. If someone had been willing to protect him like this, he would have nothing else to ask for in his life.
Both Feng Xue and Anhui felt very moved, but it was inconvenient to voice their thoughts when outsiders were present. Instead, they just looked at Liyou with excited gazes.
“If you want to condemn me, do not worry about the pretext. If you all are able to kidnap someone in the middle of the night, this type of shady business, then will you also prohibit the receiving party from counterattacking? How can there be such logic in this world!” Sang Ziyan was envious and also felt wronged. He had been studying the progress of war in the military camp and suddenly his vision turned black and he didn’t know anything. When he had awoken, he had found himself in a completely unfamiliar environment. He didn’t even need to ask to know that this encounter was definitely not a good thing. Of course, he wanted to strike first, but was this also his fault?”
“Zhen has such logic.” Liyou was not all nonsense, she was just this domineering. What was logic in this world? What she thought was right was right, why would she care about the opinions of others!
Sang Ziyan was angered, he could not understand how the Empress of Qianhe could be such an unreasonable person. Could it be that she really lived up to the rumors, being licentious, tyrannical and cruel? No, no, no, this rumor was unreliable. Even he, who had only come into contact with her twice, could tell how ruthless such an Empress was. She cared about the people around her so much and such people would not be as ruthless as the rumors said…..
“What do you want to do to me, do as you wish!” Facing such a domineering person, it was useless for him to struggle and he had no strength left to struggle. It took almost all of his strength to say these words and he could feel his body growing weaker and weaker, his vision growing darker and darker. The shadows around him began to blur and it felt like he was on the verge of losing consciousness….
“Humph!” In fact, Liyou was just trying to scare him, why would she embarrass a man, the punishment from last night was enough.
‘Feng Xue, send this person to Jiang Hanyang, she can handle this matter in the future.
“Understood!”
“Feng Xue greets Master” Feng Xue held the breakfast in his hand and after stooping to make his salutations, he set down the breakfast on he table beside him and said in a tentative tone: “Master, Feng Xue sees that you didn’t bring any attendants out here.
