"Mother?" Shen Ning called out cautiously.

"Step back, I'm a little tired." The queen's voice was a little weak.

Shen Ning smiled lightly and bowed respectfully.

Turning around and leaving, Shen Ning's eyes instantly darkened.

Queen...

She must not let the queen choose Xiao Chengyin.

…

"My dear, General Liu said that there is a war at the border and the emperor needs to send troops. This is a good time to take advantage of the emperor."

The palace maid came to report in a low voice.

The queen came to her senses and raised her hand to rub her eyebrows.

Shen Bozhong... really disrupted her plan.

"The Liu family is not the only general in the Qin State. Xiao Junhe has been at the border for several years and has made great military achievements. Now he is guilty. If he goes on this expedition, he will definitely make military achievements and lift the ban." The queen said in a deep voice. .

"This is what the general is worried about, so... what the general means is that Xiao Junhe is too powerful and not suitable for us to use, and he will never be our puppet stringer, so... when necessary, he must Get rid of him."

The palace maid whispered.

The queen's eyes darkened, understanding what her brother meant.

Apart from Xiao Junhe, the emperor really has no one available around him.

Xiao Junhe was outstanding among the princes. If he had a large army and then made great achievements in battle, he would not be able to control it at all.

Since it cannot be controlled, it must be eliminated as soon as possible.

But Xiao Junhe... is Shen Ning's husband and Shen Bozhong's son-in-law.

If Shen Bozhong knew that she had ruined his daughter's happiness...

"Let me think about it." The queen hesitated.

"Queen, this matter must not be delayed."

The queen looked at the palace maid with cold eyes. "Get out!"

Naturally, she would not delay business, but Xiao Junhe...

…

Outside the palace gate.

After Shen Ning left the Queen's Fengluan Palace, she kept waiting at the entrance of the palace, waiting for her husband.

There were wars at the border and the people were harassed by barbarians and suffered terribly.

The Liu family took the opportunity to threaten, hoping to force the emperor to delegate power.

But the emperor did not indulge the Liu family this time, but personally named Xiao Junhe to go on the expedition.

The Chenghuang Temple Fair was over and he was about to set off.

Walking to the entrance of the palace, Xiao Junhe looked at Shen Ning who was waiting outside the door. At that moment, his eyes softened.

It's just that... he and Shen Ningcai were newly married and were going to war.

But before he agreed to go on the expedition, he made a condition to His Majesty, asking Your Majesty to agree.

If he returns in triumph and gets His Majesty's consent that he will no longer take concubines or take concubines in this life, he will only be left alone.

"Your Majesty...what did you say?" Seeing Xiao Junhe come out, Shen Ning's eyes turned red inexplicably.

This man should have been the God of War hanging high in the sky.

In his previous life, he fell into the abyss of hell because of her.

"I want to lead the troops on an expedition..." Xiao Junhe took Shen Ning's hand and led her on the official road outside the palace.

Shen Ning's eyes turned red.

As a result, he became a thorn in the Liu family's side.

"Can you not go..." Shen Ning's voice became more choked up, she was afraid.

The Liu family will definitely collude with the barbarians and take the opportunity to get rid of Xiao Junhe.

On his way there, the journey was dangerous.

"I can't bear the displacement of the people." Xiao Junhe held Shen Ning's hand more and more tightly.

Shen Ning slowly closed her eyes, her eyes burning a little.

How could she forget that Xiao Junhe was not hers alone?

He is still a man of the world and the god of war for the people on the border.

She couldn't give up the lives of the people in order to seize the throne.

"When are you leaving..." Shen Ning opened her eyes with tears in her eyes, but she smiled and asked Xiao Junhe when he was leaving.

"After the City God's Temple Fair." Xiao Junhe got on the carriage and held Shen Ning in his arms.

Shen Ning just lay on Xiao Junhe's lap, silent all the way, thinking quietly.

Xiao Junhe is leaving... The journey is long and the border is bitterly cold.

How could she bear him to go alone.

…

City God Temple Fair.

The Chenghuang Temple Fair in the Qin State was the largest event, and members of the royal family and ministers of the court and ministers all prayed for blessings for the country and the people.

Shen Ning got up early and sat in the courtyard watching Xiao Junhe practice martial arts.

Shen Ning half-supported her chin resentfully, feeling a little absent-minded.

She was so proactive last night, Xiao Junhe didn't even touch her...

Don't you like her?

Or...is there another secret?

"What are you thinking about?" Xiao Junhe turned his sword and the petals above Shen Ning's head fell.

Shen Ning looked up at the falling petals, her eyes glazed over.

In her previous life, all her energy was devoted to helping Xiao Chengyin win the throne, and she had no time to appreciate the beautiful scenery.

The albizia flowers in Youdu Prefecture are really beautiful.

"Let's go have a meal, I'll let the kitchen stew the soup." Shen Ning is still not in much mood to appreciate the flowers, she still has to solve major life issues first.

That is consummation.

Xiao Junhe was dragged away by Shen Ning, the petals fell, and the scene in front of him was a bit charming.

"Your Majesty, stewed pig's feet with ginseng."

“Cistanche deserticola stewed with chicken soup.”

"Stewed kidney flower soup..."

"..." Xiao Junhe looked at a table full of tonic soup in the morning, his Adam's apple rolling.

He is good-looking, with sharp edges and corners, and a heroic spirit between his brows.

The heat of the food dazzled her eyes, and in Shen Ning's eyes, he seemed to be surrounded by a halo.

"Your Highness, drink more." Shen Ning served soup to Xiao Junhe.

"This is Shiquan Dabu Decoction..." Shen Ning continued to serve Xiao Junhe the soup.

Xiao Junhe raised his lips and took a sip of soup.

"Today is the City God's Temple Fair. If you want to go out, let Afeng Chuntao take you for a walk." Xiao Junhe was a little regretful. During the period of confinement, he could not leave Youdu Mansion at will without the emperor's order.

Shen Ning also felt a little regretful, she wanted Xiao Junhe to accompany her.

But... Shen Ning still has important things to do.

Today is the Chenghuang Temple Fair, the day Xiao Chengyin wants to create a chance encounter with Liu Wanying.

Of course she... wants to give Xiao Chengyin a big gift.

…

The streets of Kyoto are bustling with the City God Temple Fair.

Men and women were everywhere, and everyone gathered at the Chenghuang Temple to ask for a good marriage.

Liu Wanying loves the excitement the most, even during the lockdown period, she would sneak out.

"Didn't you say that there are monkey charmers from the Western Regions today?" Liu Wanying was deceived, saying that there would be new things in the Chenghuang Temple today.
