Seeing Yun Hanqing's frown and worry, he softened his voice and explained warmly:
"Han Qing, you have to know that marriage is not just a matter for the princess. Beiming Country has become more and more rampant in recent years and no longer takes us seriously."
"This battle is inevitable."
"I know, I'm just worried..."
Yun Hanqing had heard what Feng Liuyun said during the day, and of course she knew it was inevitable, but she didn't expect that if a war broke out, her husband would be the one to fight.
Duan Xuanyi saw what she was thinking and what she said was just and true.
"Hanqing, I'm thinking about you too."
Yun Hanqing looked up, very confused.
He said slowly.
"I heard earlier that my mother-in-law's parents once went to Beiming Kingdom for business and were killed by Beiming people. My mother-in-law had no choice but to take all the family property to marry the minister who had just been admitted as a scholar.
If it weren't for Bei Naruto, Hanqing, you wouldn't have to suffer so much grievance when you were still in the boudoir. "
Yun Hanqing's heart softened, and moisture began to gather in her eyes again, "You... are you doing it for me?"
Duan Xuanyi looked into the distance with his voice distant.
"It's also for our people in Linyue. Blindly giving in will only fuel Bei Naruto's arrogance. There is no home without a country."
"Your Majesty, thank you very much."
It was only after Duan Xuanyi came in that he remembered what he had investigated, so he used it as an excuse.
He hugged Yun Hanqing and stroked her hair, a little guilt flashing in his eyes.
"Hanqing, there will probably be a war soon. You will have to take care of everything in the house."
"Your Majesty, we are a family, what kind of words can we say from outsiders?"
Yun Hanqing's face was full of emotion and admiration. Now she would agree to whatever Duan Xuanyi said.
Duan Xuanyi's words soon came true.
After receiving the news that his request for marriage was harshly rejected, envoy Beiming's face was filled with anger and dissatisfaction.
Return to the capital and report everything that happened in Linyue to the king.
The king of Beiming Kingdom was already irritable, and now he couldn't bear it anymore. He drilled his soldiers day after day, and soon he was ready to send troops, and even issued a letter of war to Linyue Kingdom.
Duan Xuanyi was about to go on an expedition, and as his legitimate wife and another serious mistress in the palace, Yun Hanqing was extremely busy.
Not only did Duan Xuanyi have to prepare the luggage for the expedition, but he also had to take care of everything in the house.
Especially after knowing that this battle had his own reasons, Yun Hanqing was even more worried about Duan Xuanyi's safety.
For several days, she looked worried.
"Miss, miss, don't worry. I accidentally heard something big today."
Seeing her young lady sitting by the window again, looking outside with frowning eyes, Ling Yu came over and said mysteriously.
"what is the matter?"
Yun Hanqing knew that Ling Yu was worried about her, so she turned her head, forced a smile, and cooperated with the question.
"I left the house today and wanted to buy some sweets, cakes and fruits that the princess likes to eat, and then I heard a piece of news."
"The war is about to begin, and many soldiers have been recruited in and outside the city. The families of those soldiers are as worried as the princess, so they made an appointment to go to a temple outside the city to pray. Asking for a peace charm can also comfort their hearts."
Lingyu poured out everything she heard, and then asked:
"Miss, no, is the princess worried about the prince's safety when he goes on an expedition? Why don't we also go and pay our respects for peace of mind."
Yun Hanqing had not been married into the palace for a long time, and Ling Yu had grown up with her, so she had long been accustomed to being called young lady. On weekdays, the two titles were often confused.
"Which mountain's temple is there? Is it efficacious?"
Yun Hanqing was a little tempted. She was in a mess now and wanted to use any useful or useless method.
Ling Yu knelt down next to Yun Hanqing and looked at her seriously:
"That mountain is in Longwen Mountain, not far from the capital. I don't know whether the temple is efficacious or not, but since many people want to go there, I think it must be efficacious."
Yun Hanqing stood up and ordered the servants in the house to prepare the carriage.
"Then go ahead."
The two got into the prepared carriage, left the city, and soon came to the foot of a towering mountain peak.
Once the carriage reaches a certain location, no more carriages are allowed.
Yun Hanqing helped Ling Yu's hand get out of the carriage, and what came into view was the long stone staircase and the temple at the top.
"so high!"
Ling Yu raised her head and looked up, unable to help but let out an exclamation of exclamation.
This temple is located at the top of the mountain, with 999 stone steps going down.
It is said that if you want to ask for a safe charm from the main temple at the top of the steps, you must walk up step by step and show your sincerity before offering it.
"Do we really have to go up there step by step?"
Ling Yu looked at Yun Hanqing, her young lady had a weak body, how could she climb up.
Her eyes were full of worry and she spoke hesitantly:
"Miss, how about we find someone to buy a peace talisman. Others have climbed up step by step and are sincere, so the talisman should not be ineffective."
"You just love to be clever."
Yun Hanqing was amused by her and tapped Ling Yu's forehead with her slender white fingers.
After laughing, she thought quietly for a while and decided: "I want to go up by myself. I asked for this talisman for my husband, so naturally I have to climb up and ask for it."
"Ling Yu, you don't have anyone to pray for, otherwise you can wait for me here in the carriage."
Yun Hanqing was about to take a step when he thought of something and said to Ling who was following him.
"No, miss, we said that we should share the same hardships. And who said I don't have anyone to pray for. Miss is such a kind person, so I also want to ask the gods and Buddha for amulets to bless you with peace and joy throughout your life."
Ling Yu shook her head, with a tough attitude, and she must climb up with her.
Yun Hanqing smiled helplessly and had no choice but to let others follow him.
The two of them did not engage in physical fitness activities at all on weekdays, and rarely did any menial or heavy work. Lingyu's physical fitness was better and she could climb more steps.
Yun Hanqing couldn't stand it anymore. After walking only half of the steps, he felt his legs were sore and numb, his breathing was getting heavier and faster, his face was pink, and his complexion looked much better.
"Miss, please rest. Otherwise, we should find someone else to exchange the peace charm."
Ling Yu made this suggestion again.
At this moment, Yun Hanqing was a little moved.
After all, it was really difficult for her to climb these 990 steps.
But Yun Hanqing's heart trembled when she thought of the possibility that the gods and Buddhas she prayed to were unwilling to protect her husband because of her insincerity.
There are four to five hundred steps with no end in sight, and just one look at them will make people retreat in fear.
Yun Hanqing was no exception. She closed her eyes, gritted her teeth and continued to climb up.
At this moment, what he showed was a different tenacity from his timidity and weakness before.
The steps were reduced step by step, and finally, with only the last step left, Yun Hanqing used all his strength to lift his legs up.
Probably because her heart was relaxed, the soreness from being suppressed ran across her calves. She instantly lost strength and fell backwards.
"Miss."
Zingyu let out a sharp scream.
