Qi Yun kneaded her husband's forehead again, with a curious look in her pretty eyes: "Husband, who will be in charge this time? Will it be my husband who will lead the expedition?"
Liu Mingzhi was startled, then shook his head lightly, with a trace of doubt between his brows. As of now, Young Master Liu still has not understood the meaning of Yunyang's words.
It has long been concluded.
Where should we start with this long-established conclusion?
The deep color in Liu Mingzhi's eyes flashed away: "I don't know if it's my husband, but my husband neither forces it nor refuses."
"If you are a husband, you can't hide from it; if you are not a husband, you won't force it."
"Your Majesty did not decide on his own who to take command, but left it to the civil and military officials to recommend him."
"Given that my husband's reputation is high in the court, it may not be impossible for the handsome seal to pass by my husband."
"The Duke is already a very humane minister, and he is now very content with his husband."
Qi Yun glanced down at her husband nestled in her arms with complex eyes, gently released the jade finger on her husband's forehead and walked towards the door.
Qi Yun stood by the door and looked around. When she saw that there was no one around, she retreated into the room and closed the door.
Under Young Master Liu's puzzled gaze, Qi Yun sat across from Young Master Liu, gently grabbed one of Young Master Liu's hands and held it tightly.
"Husband, I think you should work hard for this opportunity to lead the expedition."
Liu Mingzhi looked at Qi Yun with a solemn face in surprise: "Oh? Why?"
Qi Yun looked at Young Master Liu helplessly: "Silly husband, are you really confused or are you pretending to be confused?"
"My husband is not confused at first, but now I am confused by your words. Yun'er, what do you want to say? There is nothing that cannot be said between us husband and wife. It doesn't matter if you just say it."
"Husband, what I said may be a bit unpleasant to hear. I hope you don't take it to heart and just treat it as nonsense."
"Okay, my husband will never worry about it, just tell me."
Qi Yun sighed softly and stared into her husband's eyes: "Husband, national war is no small matter. In the end, it must be decided by life and death."
"Only one of the three kingdoms can win and unify the world."
"Even if you don't think about the queen sister, you should still make plans for the child Yue'er."
"For Yue'er's safety, only if you take command and go on an expedition can you keep Yue'er safe. This is your most basic responsibility as a father."
"If you think about it, the current general trend is that it is inevitable for the army to move north."
"Since we have to go to war in the end, whoever goes to go to war is not going to go to war."
"I think you may not want to meet the mother and daughter on the battlefield because of the Queen's sister."
"But have you ever thought about it, only you go on an expedition to ensure the safety of mother and daughter."
"If you don't go, others will."
"In that case, it's better for you to go."
"After all, they are all people in command. In the eyes of others, they are the supreme military merits of promotion and promotion, but in your eyes, they, mother and daughter, are your family members."
"Think about it."
"I know that you are grateful to the late emperor for his kindness in knowing me, and you have always been loyal to the court. However, the deceased has passed away, and the living should look forward to it."
"I may be selfish for thinking this way, but it's just to save their lives. Capturing them alive is no different from Xiang's head."
"With the Queen's sister's temperament, she will definitely not be willing to be a prisoner. If she does something drastic, I think you are the only one who has the possibility to persuade her."
"If you weren't here, it would be too late for you to regret it after the queen's sister is gone!"
"That's all I've said. Husband, please think about it yourself."
Liu Mingzhi looked at Qi Yun blankly. With his free hand, he picked up the tea cup on the side and drank it in one gulp. He looked at Qi Yun with a look of surprise in his eyes.
Qi Yun felt a little uncomfortable with her husband's dark eyes. She twisted her delicate body twice and looked at Young Master Liu in confusion.
"Husband, why are you looking at me like this?"
"Yun'er, how long have we been married?"
"Eleven years."
"Eleven years!"
"I thought I had a thorough understanding of you, but it seems I really underestimated you."
"My husband has taught me my son for eleven years. I only know that Ning Bingxue is smart, virtuous and generous. But today I can see that you are still a rare talent."
"That's right. You were one of the three most talented women when we were in Aurous Hill. My husband almost forgot!"
Qi Yun's eyebrows showed a hint of worry, and she looked at Young Master Liu with a slight panic: "Husband, I am just..."
Liu Mingzhi exerted a little force and pulled Qi Yun into his arms. He gently hugged Qi Yun's waist with his arms: "Silly girl, I have no other meaning for my husband, so don't think nonsense!"
"I feel a little guilty as a husband."
"You and Yan'er should live a more tiring life than being husbands."
Hearing her husband's soft words in her ear, Qi Yun relaxed wholeheartedly and quietly leaned on her husband's shoulder.
"When you get married, you must obey your husband, take care of your husband and raise your children. This is your duty as a concubine. There is nothing to be tired of!"
Liu Mingzhi played with Qi Yun's hair hanging on her chest: "Don't think too much about it, this handsome seal...hehe..."
"I politely told Yue'er that she would not participate in this battle as my husband would be better, but there is no news yet!"
"What's the meaning?"
"Isn't it clear yet? Someone will add fuel to the flames!"
.............
In the imperial study room of the imperial palace, Zeng Hai looked worriedly at Li Baiyu's pacing figure.
"Your Majesty, you have been walking non-stop for an hour. It's time to sit down and rest."
Li Baiyu shook his head gently and sighed: "The person in charge has not been decided yet, how can I have the time to rest?"
"Three days, only three days, we must decide who will take command. There is no room for any slacking in the war in Northern Xinjiang."
"This battle is about whether my dragon can succeed in the world. I am very nervous."
"If you choose the wrong generalissimo, there will be no way back!"
"Your Majesty, we really have no choice but to go to the Queen Mother. The late Emperor left a bag of tips for you at the Queen Mother's house before the late emperor left."
"I really don't have any ideas. I suggest your Majesty go to your empress' place and have a look!"
"What if the late emperor left a tip about the person in command?"
Li Baiyu's eyes lit up and he clapped his hands: "That's right, how could I forget the most important thing when I was so anxious!"
"Go to the queen mother's house."
"According to the decree, Your Majesty will escort you to the Queen Mother's palace!"
"The children see their mother and wish her happiness, longevity and health."
"Your Majesty, no courtesy, please sit down!"
"Thank you, Queen Mother!"
"I, my concubine, see your Majesty!"
Li Baiyu looked at Chen Jie, and He and Shu smiled lightly and nodded: "The two beloved concubines are interested and have come to accompany their mother to relieve their boredom. I have something to do to find my mother, so you should go back to the palace first!"
The two women nodded without hesitation: "I obey your decree."
After the two girls left, Nangong Meng looked at Li Baiyu quietly: "I don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. What difficulties did you encounter when you came to the Queen Mother's place?"
Li Baiyu nodded melancholy: "The Queen Mother is wise, my child is here this time..."
Li Baiyu told Nangong Meng the ins and outs of the selection.
"My personal preference is for my brother-in-law to be in command, but after some advice from the civil and military officials, I felt that it might be more appropriate for my old Duke to be in command."
"I can't make a decision at the moment. I want to see if my mother has any good suggestions."
Nangong Meng silently shook his head: "Your Majesty, Taizu's last words are that the harem and eunuchs are not allowed to interfere in politics."
