In the gloomy sky, the thick clouds were torn apart by the sunlight, and golden color spread to the earth.
Looking at Mutam's retreating direction, Shen Que stood blankly for a long time.
He came anyway, arriving in time with his reinforcements.
"Madam." Zeelan was a little excited, "Is this possible?"
Shen Que came back to his senses, nodded, looked around, and said, "Pack it up quickly and do whatever you need to do."
The big stone in my heart finally fell to the ground, and my tense nerves instantly relaxed, and even my steps became much lighter.
*
On the battlefield of Soto, the situation has reached a climax.
After repelling Wala's attack, Li Luansong was already prepared for the enemy's second attack, but he didn't want to wait for several days without any movement.
The people sent to inquire came back and said that Wala had withdrawn his troops and left.
Everyone was very excited at that time. Xiao Wala seemed to be really scared. Only Li Luansong felt that something was wrong. Based on his understanding of Wala, the opponent would never withdraw his troops so quickly. This was just a battle, so there must be something wrong.
Continuing to spy on the military situation, Li Luansong stood in front of the sand table and followed Oala's retreat route with his long sword.
Suddenly, there was a ringing in my head, and the person sent out to inquire happened to have returned.
Wala took a detour to attack the unsuspecting Soto Kingdom.
Sure enough, it was just as he guessed.
Counting the days, Shen Que happened to arrive in Soto on these two days.
Li Luansong did not hesitate at all, and immediately blew the assembly horn, and the army marched towards Sotuo.
When Zheng Huan rebelled, it was Mutam who led Soto's army to help him regain power. Now this battle is a favor returned to him by Li Luansong, and it is also the friendship between the two countries.
After this battle, he would never give in to Mutam in anything.
Thinking like this, Li Luansong only wanted to fight quickly, and he became more fierce and cruel on the battlefield. Although the more than 30,000 Shuofang troops he led suffered casualties, they were not serious. The remaining nearly 30,000 men instantly gained the upper hand in the battle with an absolutely overwhelming advantage.
Li Luansong bravely killed the enemy and fought bloody battles, just like treating his own enemies. Mutam watched this and was moved in his heart.
He is still the God of War Li Luansong, the prince who can never be defeated in Daye.
The two of them cooperated with each other tacitly, and were unrivaled on the battlefield. The internal and external attacks from the two armies dealt a fatal blow to Wala. In just one day, they were defeated and fled in a hurry, retreating more than ten miles away.
The night falls, and the sky is filled with stars.
The Soto Kingdom held a grand banquet to thank the friends who came from afar to help, and Li Luansong was warmly entertained.
He wanted to see Shen Que. He hadn't seen her for more than two months. He didn't know if she was okay, if she had lost weight, if she was still angry...
However, deep love is hard to give up. King and Queen Soto hosted the banquet in person, and all the ministers came, praising the hero and being grateful.
They sang and danced, drank and ate delicious food, cooked beef and mutton on the spot and delivered it to the distinguished guests, expressing their deep friendship. Li Luansong was surrounded by the bonfire like stars holding the moon, accepting everyone's kindness and thanks.
They frequently toasted to him with endless compliments. Although the kumiss was not strong, it was quite potent after drinking too much.
Li Luansong was anxious but had to cope with it.
The bonfire was burning brightly, and there were girls in costumes everywhere. Suddenly, a familiar figure flashed behind the crowd. It was Shen Que. Li Luansong was half awake from the wine, but when he looked again, there was nothing there.
Maybe she was dazzled by too much wine. She doesn't like this kind of occasion very much, so I'm afraid she won't come.
Li Luansong staggered, but he was very anxious. Although he had a smile on his face, he was a little absent-minded.
Mutam looked at him from a distance, and then glanced at Shen Que, who had just walked through the crowd, feeling indescribable sourness and jealousy in his heart.
After drinking one glass after another, Li Luansong really felt drunk, but the banquet seemed to have no end.
The dancers take turns to appear on stage, and after the performance, guests from far and wide are invited to dance with them.
Being held on stage by a beautiful female concubine, Li Luansong's eyes were a little blurry, but his mind was very clear. After the dance, the music started again, and he danced and drank, doing all kinds of tricks and having a lot of fun.
Li Luansong finally found a chance to escape and drank two sips of herbal tea before feeling more awake.
I looked up at the moon and saw that it was getting late. It was estimated that this banquet lasted for four hours. Isn't that a bit exaggerated? In the past, the banquet would have ended in two hours at most, but this...
Suddenly meeting Mutam's eyes, Li Luansong realized that he had been fooled.
He must have done it on purpose, trying to hold him back.
Mutam, just wait for me.
Without saying a word, Li Luansong left everyone behind and went straight to Shen Que's residence. Mutam was startled and followed closely behind.
"Li Luansong, stop."
"Mutam, you bastard."
The two horses rushed forward. Li Luansong looked back at Mutam who was following him closely, leaned over and pulled out the dart from his boot and threw it out.
The darts came straight towards Mutam's face. He leaned back to dodge, but the darts cut the reins. Mutam fell off the horse and took a step forward to stabilize his body. He could only watch Li Luansong go away. .
Li Luansong had already found out Shen Que's residence, which was at a post station not far from the palace.
The inns here are all independent courtyards, and Li Luansong found the place with ease.
There is a red plum at the door, standing proudly on the cold winter night, blooming in the wind and snow, just like the stubborn Shen Que.
The door to the small courtyard is closed, a small wooden door.
Li Luansong jumped off his horse, straightened his clothes, and then went up to knock on the door.
He had already thought about what to say, apologize, apologize first, and take the trouble to apologize.
Before his fingers touched the door, the door opened from inside.
Zelan stared blankly at the person in front of him and instinctively called out: "Your Highness."
"It's me, your wife..."
"Zelan, is someone here?"
Before Li Luansong could ask her question, she was interrupted by a deep voice inside. Her voice sounded a little hoarse and she was very tired.
"Is the wounded man in bad condition?"
Shen Que asked as he walked out of the room and met Li Luansong standing outside the door.
His armor was weather-stained, he was thinner, darker, and unshaven like a savage, with only his bright eyes shining.
Shen Que was stunned, standing under the moonlight, wearing a fish-white mattress skirt, with her hair loosely tied behind her head. Although she looked tired, her face was bright and fair, and she seemed to be slightly fatter.
She is getting prettier.
Li Luansong stepped forward: "Yuyu, I'm here."
He hadn't seen her for a long time, and God knew how much he missed her.
"Your Highness is well." Shen Que took a step back and saluted respectfully, "I wonder if your Highness is here for anything?"
She seemed very distant, not looking at him, just staring at the ground with lowered eyes.
Li Luansong said in a low voice: "Yuanyu, I know you are still angry. I already know that I was wrong. I am here to ask for your forgiveness."
"Your Highness has spoken harshly, and I don't dare take it seriously." Shen Que moved a few steps away from him, "It's late at night, and it would be detrimental to our reputation to be seen alone as a man and an orphan. Your Highness, if nothing happens, please come back. .”
She issued an eviction order just after they met, and Li Luansong was very frustrated.
"Yuyu, look at me. I traveled thousands of miles to see you and take you home." He took a step forward, and Shen Que took two steps back. "Okay, I'll keep my distance from you. You Just listen to what I have to say, okay?"
In an almost pleading tone, Shen Que lowered his head and remained silent.
"I was wrong when I changed from the palace. I shouldn't have made decisions alone without consulting you. If I really followed my ideas, I'm afraid I wouldn't be here anymore, and your life wouldn't be easy.
Yuanyuan, I was wrong. Originally I thought I was doing everything possible to consider you, and you should understand me. But now I understand that what you care about is respect and equality. You were suppressed too much in the past, and you should be respected and loved.
But under the guise of being good for you, I bullied you again and again and ignored your feelings. I did a lot of things self-righteously, but also made a lot of mistakes.
Yuanyuan, I really know I was wrong.
I want to be with you and we can discuss things together. My sister is a knowledgeable and thoughtful woman, not a stay-at-home woman who never leaves the house. She is me. In the past, I didn’t really know or understand you. "
His voice got lower and lower as he spoke, sounding very sad and depressed.
"Yuan Yuan, only now do I understand what equal respect is. You have your strengths, and many of your ideas are indeed more thoughtful and comprehensive than mine. I should admit that I have my own shortcomings and things that I am not good at, and Those happen to be your strengths.”
"Your Highness."
Shen Que raised his head and looked at him, interrupting him: "These words are useless now."
She crossed her hands in front of her lower abdomen. There was a little life inside, but she didn't intend to tell him.
"His Highness can think so because His Highness has grown up and has nothing to do with Shen Que. Thank you for being able to save the people of Sotuo from fire and water. Shen Que admires His Highness for his kindness and kindness. I am very tired today. Your Highness, please come back. Bar."
She didn't want to get entangled with him anymore. From the moment Shen Liuzi was left behind, she had planned to live a quiet and comfortable life alone with her children.
The two looked at each other, but neither said a word.
This made Zelan behind Shen Que anxious.
From the tone of His Highness the Crown Prince, I wonder if he didn't receive the letter, or if he doesn't know about the child.
What can I do? The wife doesn't want to pay attention to him now mostly because of the child.
But……
Zelan stood behind Shen Que, facing Li Luansong. In order to make him understand, she tried her best to mouth words to him: child, doll, baby, Shen Liuzi...
However, Li Luansong focused all his attention on Shen Que and did not see Zelan's exaggerated mouth shape at all.
Forget it, the lady couldn't see her anyway, so Zelan started to make gestures.
Touch your belly with your hand, bulge it, draw a circle, point inside, and then make a good baby sleeping motion. Your Highness, do you see it? Do you understand it...
She was so busy dancing and dancing that Li Luansong saw it but didn't understand it.
Of course, Shen Que also noticed it. He turned around suddenly and saw Zelan, who was stuck in the movement and spreading his arms with a ferocious expression.
"what are you doing?"
"No, it's nothing. My arm hurts."
"You go back to the house first." Shen Que ordered Zelan.
Zelan reluctantly glanced at Li Luansong, who was confused, and slowly returned to the house.
Shen Que saluted Li Luansong again: "Your Highness, I am really tired. I know what you mean, but it is already too late. Your Highness, please go back, and we will not meet again."
