Chapter 250 Was It Worth It?

Su Mianyue didn't know how he got back to Commander's Mansion.

Seeing the soldiers from both camps drag the bodies of the dead soldiers back, it was as if they were pulling pork chops from a vegetable market. They had no respect at all and just wanted to finish it quickly.

As the body moved, the blood snaked out a trail of blood, as if to dye the yellow land red together before giving up.

For the first time, she witnessed the cruelty of the war. In this cold weapon age, the victory and defeat of a war was made up of tens of millions of corpses. Su Mianyue only felt cold through his body. He knew that this war was only launched in her name. Even without her, Su Mianyue would have gone to the Hengyuan sooner or later. No emperor would miss such an opportunity to unify the world.

Soaking in the tub, warm water could wash away the dust on his body, but it could not wash away the strong smell of blood. Su Mianyue closed his eyes and rested on the edge of the tub until the water was cold.

"As a woman, why not let a man protect you? Is it worth it to embarrass yourself?" A soft voice sounded. Xuezhu sat by the tub and added a ladle of hot water to Su Mianyue. After testing the temperature of the water, he added it again.

"You can't do it either, can you?" Without opening his eyes, Su Mianyue asked lightly. The temperature in the tub made Su Mianyue feel better, but his voice was a little hoarse.

"Yeah, Xuezhu can't do it either." With a self-deprecating smile, Xuezhu slowly sprinkled petals into the bathtub. "But you and I are different after all. Xuezhu is not looking for someone with one heart, not unwilling to have a man to support a world for me. After watching too much, he no longer has that kind of hope. But you are different in the month of sleep. You can choose to be the woman behind a man and be pampered by him for the rest of your life."

Su Mianyue did not speak, nor did he ask why Xuezhu was here, but his lips showed a hint of bitterness.

Not to mention that Su Mianyue was not the kind of woman who depended on men. Even if she was tired enough to hide behind men, reality would not allow her. As queen Mu Tinng, once she became weak and only death awaited her, Su Mianyue would rather lose the right to love than to be plain.

Rubbing Su Mianyue's shoulder, Xuezhu's expression was unreal under the mist. It was a long time before she sighed and said, "In fact, Mianyue, your troubles are known to the emperor. This is why the emperor will bring me here. I hope I can share your worries, but what I can do for you is just these small things, ultimately incompetent."

"... Su Mianyue's lips parted slightly, but she did not say a word. What could she say?

"I overheard some conversation when I went to deliver food and wine to the emperor today." Xuezhu suddenly leaned over and whispered in Su Mianyue's ear. Seeing that Su Mianyue's face was slightly frozen, he sighed and consoled, "The so-called companion of a king is like a tiger. I believe that intelligent as a sleeping moon can handle these things. It's getting late. I've prepared supper for you. Eat something before you rest. His majesty..." Xuezhu paused and said, "I won't be here tonight."

Su Mianyue looked up and looked at Xuezhu with a light frown. She looked calm and didn't say anything she wanted to ask.

"I have been serving the emperor for the past few days. I'm afraid that the emperor is not used to the maid approaching here." After Xuezhu's statement, seeing Su Mianyue's cold expression, he quickly explained, "Don't get me wrong. I was just serving the emperor's food. Before I came to bring you supper, the emperor was discussing the camp strategy with Commander and the others. It seems that the emperor intends to patrol the camp at night."

"I'm tired." Su Mianyue didn't want to hear xuezhu explain anymore. He waved her away and walked out of the tub.

The snow-white jade feet stepped on the ground, leaving behind water colored footprints. The cold came from the bottom of his feet, but Su Mianyue casually put on a piece of clothing and stood at the window looking out in the direction of the barracks.

Originally, she was hesitating whether to tell Wanyan Lin that she was going to see Shangguan Pei tonight, but now it seemed to save her trouble.

"Wanyan Lin, you are the first man I have come to this world who wants to give my heart to, and the first man I hope to keep my promise. I hope that after this war is over, our hearts will remain the same." Her red lips parted and Su Mianyue whispered into the sky, but no one could hear her thoughts.

It was a long night, and Wanyan Lin had been studying the war between the two armies in the study. Xuezhu was very conscious of staying in the outer room, occasionally handing a cup of hot tea or a cup of tonic. Although he did not do anything to add to the fragrance, it made people feel that Xuezhu was Wanyan Lin's woman, and people in Commander's Mansion were even more respectful to snow bamboo.

Once again, a servant came to deliver supper. Xuezhu got up and took it. When the servant delivered the food box, he also stuffed a note to Xuezhu. Xuezhu quietly stuffed a purse to the servant and carried the food box into the outer room.

Under the candlelight, Xuezhu quickly scanned the words on the note and quickly placed them in the incense burner. He turned around and took the food box to the study. After setting up the supper, he asked Wanyan Lin's entourage to try on the gray clothes with silver needles to make sure it was not poisonous before he said, "Your majesty, it's late at night. Your majesty should rest early and put the dragon body first. Xuezhu will leave now to see if Mianyue has rested. She's in a bad mood today."

Wanyan Lin raised his eyebrows and waved for Xuezhu to leave. Xuezhu leaned over to the outer room to pack up and put on his robe.

When xuezhu reached the door, she listened to Wanyan Lin's instructions and said, "You will stay here tonight. What should you do? Ask for gray clothes."

Hearing Wanyan Lin's words, she felt the wind blow her hair, and then even Wanyan Lin's back disappeared into the night sky.

The corners of her lips curved slightly. Xuezhu quickly straightened up and pretended not to know that a dark guard had come when she was stalling for time, looking at the gray clothes standing not far away at a loss.

"Rest outside." Gray clothes had always been quiet, pointing to the soft couch outside, and said coldly, "The emperor has been in the study all night, never leaving."

Xuezhu was stunned and nodded quickly, "Xuezhu has been so tired in recent days that he has fallen asleep here without knowing the rules. I hope I haven't disturbed your majesty's busy political affairs."

Leaning slightly, Xuezhu lowered his head and walked quickly towards the soft couch. Only then did he feel the murderous intent of the grey shirt.

Besides, when Su Mianyue stepped on the moon and left, Wanyan Lin's secret guards did not dare to follow too closely. They could only leave marks along the way. Wanyan Lin was not afraid to lose Su Mianyue's whereabouts.

In a farm outside Linzhou, Su Mianyue entered the hall after investigating the terrain and the guards. Shangguan Pei was sitting there drinking tea, apparently waiting for her.

"Should I call you Empress Su or Miss Su?" Shangguan Pei looked up. The mask covered his face, but it was hard to see his expression.

Stepping towards the teacup, Su Mianyue sat down and said, "It's better for General Shangguan to call me Miss Su. Empress Su, whom the general spoke of, disappeared when the Su Family was destroyed."

Shangguan Pei nodded and said bluntly, "Although Miss Su is unwilling to admit his past identity, the monarch is always concerned about Miss Su. This time, I am afraid that Miss Su will be wronged. Although he is going to Shangjing City, I believe Miss Su will not want to see the war between the two armies. By then, there will be a river of blood and corpses everywhere."

"That's ridiculous. Mu Tinng's killing my Su Family is all over the place. Do you want me to take his head off now?" With a murderous look on his face, Su Mianyue made no attempt to hide his determination to take revenge.
