Xuan Ya was more than enough to deal with NATO, but it was a huge challenge for him that NATO chose to ally with its neighbour, Huo Cheng.

This was because she was a small country and lacked soldiers. She couldn't help in this war at all.

At this time, Shangguan Wan thought of Luo Fan's prince — His Royal Highness.

At that time, he had given her ten jars of Hundred Flowers Brewing, and he had promised that he would be happy with her for a hundred years.

"So, you want to personally go to Luo Fan and borrow a soldier?" Nangong Yu's expression was a little heavy. He stopped writing and raised his head to look at her.

"Your majesty, I believe Prince Lin isn't someone who goes back on his words. This method is possible." Shangguan Wan tried her best to convince him that as long as she could win this fight, it wouldn't matter to her how tired she was.

"I won't allow it!" His words were overbearing. He got up from the dragon throne, walked down, and stood firmly in front of her, "Now that the two countries are at war, there's a fire in the sky. It's very dangerous for you to go out rashly."

He understood her good intentions, but he could not risk her life.

"Your majesty, borrowing a soldier is a great thing. We can't always send a letter. This way, it's too outrageous. We can only discuss it in person." Shangguan Wan was both serious and stubborn.

She was Xuansui's queen, and it was her duty to help the country through this crisis.

"No." Nangong Yu showed an unprecedented domineering attitude on this matter, "Zhen doesn't want you to lower yourself to others. Zhen has already prepared himself for battle. I believe that Jing Li and I will fight together, and we'll be able to return quickly."

These words shocked Shangguan Wan. What? She wants to go to the battlefield herself?

"Your majesty!"

"I have made up my mind. You stay in the harem and guard the Profound Truths. I will be back very soon." He took her in his arms and closed his eyes, his heart full of reluctance.

As he had said before, men were supposed to protect women.

However, this unwillingness to part with him could only be used to amuse himself on the battlefield.

Shangguan Wan didn't know what to say, she could only let him hold her.

When the officials in the court heard that the emperor was going to take the field personally, they immediately remonstrated.

"Absolutely not, Your Majesty! As the son of heaven, you have my protection, so you cannot take such a risk. "

Nangong Yu sneered, "According to my beloved official's words, I only need to sit in the Dragon Court and this mountain and river will be stable?"

The first official's face was filled with fear. He hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed. "Your majesty, this old official does not mean that."

"It's not like I've never been on the battlefield before. I'm not as delicate and expensive as my beloved lady said. Besides, as the Son of Heaven, how could I hide behind the scenes and only protect myself?" Nangong Yu's words hit the nail on the head, and the officials didn't dare to speak another word.

"After I leave, many of the matters in the court will be left to the Prime Minister to handle. In the event of a huge incident, the Prime Minister must discuss it with the Empress before making a decision."

One more person meant more security, and Shangguan Wan had a lot of ideas, she believed that some things could be solved easily with her help.

However, this decision was met with opposition from another official. "Your majesty, the imperial harem cannot interfere in this matter!"

"The rules were set by the ancestors, but it is dead and the person is alive. Since I am the son of Heaven, why not change them?" Nangong Yu swept his gaze over the crowd. He wasn't angry, but he was full of might.

He had previously believed that the harem girl could not be in charge, but now that the situation was urgent, he had no choice but to make changes.

The hall fell into silence. The officials were surprised to discover that ever since the emperor had his queen, his eloquence seemed to have improved. He often exchanged a few words with others, leaving them speechless.

"Since there are no more objections from my lieutenants, let's withdraw from the court." Nangong Yu stood up and walked out of the Dragon Courtyard.

"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"

After some preparation, Nangong Yu put on his armor and led the guards out of the city.

He stopped in front of the city gate, unwilling to set off. He wanted someone to send him off, even for a short trip.

He looked left and right, but still did not see that person.

"Your majesty, don't worry. The Empress will definitely come." Little Lin softly consoled him. That's right, Little Lin who was powerless wanted to follow him to the battlefield. It was all for the sake of properly serving him.

Nangong Yu saw that this little eunuch had been by his side for so long. Although he had done many wrong things, his life was still intact. It could be seen that he was a lucky person, so bringing him along wasn't too inappropriate.

"Forget it, I won't wait any longer." Although Nangong Yu was very disappointed, but as the saying goes, war is everything. As long as he was late, then Jing Li's situation would be even more dangerous.

How dashing it was to mount a warhorse and raise a whip.

But she would still look back, and not see the woman.

Actually, it was also good if she didn't come. If she did, how much he would miss her, and let her properly wait in the Phoenix Hall for the day he returned.

To go to the battlefield, you have to pass through Clear Water Town, and without exception, you have to settle down at the yamen.

As if she had already known he would come, she prepared a room for him and served him well.

For some reason, Nangong Yu had a very, very familiar feeling. Although he had lived here before and felt very familiar with this place, this feeling of familiarity made him feel very strange. As for what exactly was strange, he couldn't say.

In the evening, Baotou led a beautiful woman to his room.

"Your majesty, this humble subject was afraid that you'd be lonely, so I found the most beautiful girl in our Clear Water Town to warm your bed."

Actually, it was autumn now and it was not too cold. There was no warm bed. To put it simply and elegantly, it was just a matter of solving the physical needs of His Majesty the emperor.

"Mm, you may leave." Nangong Yu waved his hand, his interest waning.

Bao Dai Wu gave the girl a meaningful glance, then bowed and left.

There was a man and a woman in the room. It was impossible not to have firewood and dried wood, but the emperor was not impatient.

"What's your name?" Nangong Yu poured a cup of tea as they chatted.

"Reporting to the emperor, this humble girl is called Cai Die." The woman seemed very nervous and her forehead was sweating.

"Cai Die." Nangong Yu muttered to himself, then nodded, "Good name."

The girl did not speak. Her face was as red as a ripe apple.

"Where do you live?" Nangong Yu seemed to have plenty of time, and he asked a young lady he had never met before about everything.

"Right here in Clear Water Town, take a left turn after leaving the yamen. Take another right turn, take another left turn, cross a bridge, and take another right turn. The third one has red lanterns hanging from it." The girl had given her address so clearly that she probably wanted the Emperor to be a "guest on the way back."

"I understand." Nangong Yu inexplicably smiled, "Are you willing to serve me? You don't need any titles? "

The girl nodded without thinking. "Yes."

She was willing to spend the night with such a handsome man.
