The war came quickly. The Beiming Kingdom led its troops to attack several small cities on the border. Duan Xuanyi went to the battlefield with the peace charm.
Beiming Kingdom has been keeping a low profile for these years, but this war is coming with great force.
Linyue Kingdom has emphasized culture over martial arts for many years, and Duan Xuanyi has been training in the house for a long time. Naturally, he cannot compare with the fierce general Beiming who trains every day.
Soon, bad news came from the battlefield.
Duan Xuanyi was wounded in the arm by the enemy leader. He was unable to recapture any of the small cities captured by Beiming Kingdom, and the battle situation was very unfavorable.
As soon as the news came back, there was a lot of discussion in the court. Even the emperor who originally agreed to go to war was a little dissatisfied with Duan Xuanyi.
People in the palace were panicked.
Yun Hanqing was sitting in the courtyard, unable to suppress the worry in her heart. She frowned, not knowing what to do.
The only biological father who has some power around him is a greedy man who will never help.
And what she is most concerned about is her husband's safety on the battlefield. Who has such great ability can help her.
While anxious, a figure appeared in Yun Hanqing's mind.
Will he help her?
Yun Hanqing didn't know, but at this time she could only bite the bullet and find him.
Soon, Yun Hanqing summoned a carriage and drove to the Imperial Master's Mansion, stopping at a relatively secluded location.
She opened the curtain on the window and looked outside.
Two guards with sharp eyes and majestic figures were still guarding the outside of the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion.
After being reprimanded by the Imperial Preceptor, they became even more focused and did not let go of any suspicious person who passed by the door.
Yun Hanqing was a little timid. Thinking that her husband was still fighting on the battlefield and not knowing his safety, she bit her lip and got out of the carriage and came to the door of the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion.
"who?"
One of the guards unsheathed his sword with one hand and stood in front of Yun Hanqing.
Yun Hanqing took a step back, with some fear hidden in her eyes, and tried to make her voice louder and more powerful, without losing the noble posture of a princess.
"I am the royal concubine of Prince Xuan's Mansion. I have something to ask of the Imperial Master. Could you please let me know."
The guard standing in front of her looked cold and stern. Even though he knew that the woman in front of him was of high status, his attitude did not soften.
"Please, Princess, please wait at the door, and I'll have someone inform the Imperial Master first."
Yun Hanqing didn't feel neglected and stood outside the door, still thinking about what to do if the Imperial Master didn't want to see her.
The guard called a boy to deliver the message, and he returned to his original position and stood up.
Another guard seemed to have remembered something, and murmured the words "Princess Xuan" several times. He was suddenly startled, glanced at his companion, and stepped forward with a smile.
"It turns out to be Princess Xuan. You can just go in. Imperial Master Cai had already warned me, but my companion was away because of something and didn't hear it. I was distracted and didn't pay attention."
"Go in directly?"
Yun Hanqing was confused, the guard nodded affirmatively, and she followed the person who led the way to the study.
"National Master, Princess Xuan has arrived."
The guide said a few words to the boy guarding the door of the study, and the boy opened the door directly, took Yun Hanqing into the study, exited, and carefully closed the door.
When Yun Hanqing came in, Feng Liuyun was painting a green bamboo forest outside by the window.
Now, he stopped writing and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
"Princess, we meet again."
It seems to overlap with the previous parting words.
Yun Hanqing was in a daze and asked:
"Does the Imperial Master know that I am coming today?"
"Divination and prediction are just some small tricks."
Feng Liuyun didn't take it seriously, and raised his eyebrows slightly, showing a bit of natural elegance.
'Amazing. '
Yun Hanqing was amazed in her heart. Now, she put all her hopes on the national master.
Although he was a little embarrassed to ask for help from others, Yun Han still blushed and stated his purpose.
Feng Liuyun walked a few steps towards Yun Hanqing, picked up the teapot on the table, poured a cup of tea, and handed it to her.
"In the past, it was the princess who made tea for me. This time it is my turn to do my best as a landlord and make tea for the princess. I wonder if the tea I have here may suit the princess's taste?"
Yun Hanqing was impatient, but seeing Feng Liuyun's calm expression, she still picked up the cup of tea and drank it.
The tea at Guoshifu is different from what I usually drink. It is light, slightly bitter, and has a light bamboo fragrance.
All the tea went into his throat, and a little sweetness began to spread from the bottom of his heart.
The bitterness makes people calm, while the sweetness makes Yun Hanqing sip a hint of joy, washing away the worries she had after learning about Duan Xuanyi's injury.
The two sat facing each other and sipping tea, and the room was quiet for a while.
After a long time, Yun Hanqing remembered his purpose and asked Feng Liuyun for help again.
"Yes, but the princess should know that everything has a cause and effect, and there is never a free benefit in the world. If I take action, I must get something in return."
Feng Liuyun pinched the cup in his hand and turned it around, leaning back with a more lazy and casual attitude.
"What does the Imperial Master want? Gold and silver treasures or power..."
Halfway through his words, Yun Hanqing paused.
As the only monk in the world, Feng Liuyun has almost astonishing abilities. With a wave of his hand, he can get all kinds of gold, silver, wealth, power and status at his fingertips.
What special thing can I give him?
It seems not possible.
So what does the Imperial Master want from himself?
Yun Hanqing thought hard for a long time, but still had no results, and finally asked directly:
"It's better to tell the Imperial Master what you want. This concubine...if I have it, I will do my best to serve the Imperial Master."
"Tum."
The white porcelain tea cup was placed on the table between the two of them, making a shocking sound.
But what was even more shocking were the words coming out of Feng Liuyun's mouth.
"I have only one request: live with me, teach me love or happiness, and let me experience the taste of emotion."
What kind of power can drive a weak woman to become strong and brave? Feng Liuyun has been curious about it for a long time, and she has also been looking forward to it for a long time.
After returning from Longwen Mountain that day, he suddenly remembered what his master said when he passed away - "Experiencing the seven emotions and six desires in the world may help you cultivate Taoism."
He didn't believe it at the time, but now he is somewhat interested.
Feng Liuyun's words were straightforward and unconcealed. Yun Hanqing, who understood what he meant, instantly blushed on his cheeks and refused out loud in embarrassment.
"National Master, you are going too far. I have a husband."
"This battle is destined to be difficult. I don't know what Prince Xuan's prospects are yet. Princess, you can think about it before you reply to me."
Feng Liuyun was not in a hurry at all. A smile spread across his face, just like the snowy mountains melting and the sun rising. Rare things can make people even more astonished and excited.
He is confident that the person in front of him will definitely agree to his request.
But when he thought about the reason for this confidence, he felt a little uncomfortable.
"National Master, the longer the war lasts, the longer the disaster and hardship will be suffered by the people of Linyue Kingdom."
"Saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. There are thousands of people living in the moonlight. If the national master takes action, he will definitely accumulate a lot of merit."
"..."
Yun Hanqing didn't want to agree to his outrageous request, nor did he want to give up this opportunity. In his haste, he said a lot of truths in the hope of convincing him.
