Empress, she is beautiful Lu Ziye

Chapter 599 I’m afraid you’ll be worried, but I want to see you again

General's Mansion.

Today, before dawn, Nan Zhen got up and watched the sky gradually brighten and then darken under the eaves.

The evening breeze ruffled her clothes, and the tip of her nose seemed to smell the slightest hint of rust.

"it's dark."

Yi Hong took two steps forward and stood side by side with her. He followed her gaze and landed on the dark clouds in the west.

Nan Zhen breathed out gently and repeated his words, "It's getting dark."

No one came back.

From day to night, I still haven't received the letter.

Yi Hong continued, "I see that Mrs. Zong has already armed everyone in the General's Mansion. There seems to be no news from the city gate yet."

Xiao Rongxi came in a hurry and stopped in the middle of the courtyard. Nan Zhen was still under the eaves.

A hurried footsteps got closer and closer, until it passed through the shadows of the trees and appeared in the moonlight of the courtyard.

No news is good news.

Hearing this, Nan Zhen held back her temper, turned around and drank the medicine in the bowl in one gulp.

Nan Zhen stroked the braid holding the Mingyue Order with her fingers to suppress her anxiety.

Yi Hong stopped talking and just stayed with her silently waiting for news.

Their eyes met, and there was silence.

In fact, they all know that even with the participation of the Nan Family Army and Jianghu forces, they dare not say what their chances of winning are.

The medicine that usually feels extremely bitter seems normal to drink today.

Nan Zhen nodded and looked at the maid beside her, "Is there any news from the military camp?"

Time goes by little by little, and the waiting process always seems long.

Nan Zhen stood up suddenly and looked towards the entrance of the courtyard.

It shows that Liang Jun has not broken through the defense line of His Majesty and General Zong so far.

The maid stepped forward to refill the lamp oil twice, and finally there was some movement at the door.

Mrs. Zong knew that Nan Zhen was worried, so she would definitely send someone to inform her as soon as there was news.

At this moment, I can only comfort myself. The situation is uncertain, so don’t panic.

He had not changed his clothes, and there was dried blood on his face, mixed with sweat, which melted away again and slid down his cheeks to his chin.

"Go back to your Majesty, Madam has not sent anyone over to deliver the message for the time being."

Yi Hong suddenly chuckled, his heart dropped into his stomach, and left with the medicine bowl.

It's Xiao Rongxi.

"Ah."

When passing by Xiao Rongxi, he paused slightly and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, for returning victoriously."

After saying that, he strode away without waiting for the other party to respond.

The maid in the courtyard retreated with great discernment when Xiao Rongxi appeared.

At this time, there was only the clear breeze and bright moon in the courtyard and two people standing opposite each other.

After a while, Nan Zhen finally made a move and slowly walked down the steps.

As soon as he left the last step, he was surrounded by people running towards him.

His body was still covered with wind and sand, but Nan Zhen reached out and hugged him tightly.

The two hugged each other quietly for a while, and then Nan Zhen asked, "Why didn't your Majesty send someone to deliver the letter? Why did you come back first?"

Xiao Rongxi said, "I'm afraid you'll be worried, but I want to see you again."

So after the battle was over and he returned to the camp, he couldn't wait to ride a fast horse to the general's mansion.

Nan Zhen raised the corner of her mouth and rubbed his shoulder. She felt that the armor was a little hard, so she gave up, "I was very worried, but when I saw Your Majesty, I felt relieved."

It is peace of mind that is visible and tangible.

It was the anxiety and restlessness that could fall into his arms and be caught firmly.

"I know."

It was not easy for them to win this battle, and it was not easy for Nan Zhen who was guarding the rear. Nan Zhen touched the armor with her fingers. When she raised it to look at it, her fingertips were stained red.

She withdrew from Xiao Rongxi's arms and looked at him with a frown, "Your Majesty is injured?"

"It's a small injury, it doesn't matter." Xiao Rongxi took her hand and wanted to rub the redness off her hand, but he forgot that his hands were not clean, and instead rubbed it everywhere.

Nan Zhen raised her eyes to look at him, and pulled him towards the house with her backhand, "I'll have someone bring water to clean your wound."

"it is good."

Xiao Rongxi allowed her to take off his armor, and carefully cleaned the wounds on his back and arms with a half-twisted handkerchief.

Perhaps it was because she had been injured frequently in the past, so she was particularly skilled at cleaning wounds.

"Have all matters in the camp been handed over to General Zong?"

Xiao Rongxi nodded, "These are his duties."

Zongbei not only had to count the number of enemies killed, but also counted the remaining soldiers of his own side.

Soldiers who died in battle also need to be recorded one by one to facilitate contacting their families and issuing pensions.

The water in the copper basin had changed color. Nan Zhen asked someone to change it. She turned around and saw Xiao Rongxi with a solemn look on his face. He frowned slightly and asked, "This time, a lot of people must have died."

Xiao Rongxi nodded.

All wars involve bloodshed, even sacrificing one's life to protect the land beneath one's feet.

Not giving an inch.

"They are all meritorious people who sacrificed their lives for their country. I will not treat their families unfairly."

After Zongbei has sorted out the roster, he will discuss merit and reward.

After Nan Zhen cleaned the wound, she applied medicine to him and bandaged it carefully, "I wonder how Wei Yan is doing?"

"Don't worry, I saw her when I left the camp. She was slightly injured. The children from the Valley of Miracle Doctors were treating her. It doesn't look serious."

Nan Zhen: "That's good."

She cut off the excess thread with scissors and arranged Xiao Rongxi's clothes, "Your Majesty, are you going back to camp tonight?"

"Back."

Xiao Rongxi stood up, pulled her to him and kissed her, then held her in his arms, closed her eyes, and held her tightly without letting go, "There are some things that I need to deal with personally."

Fang Congkun died, Ma Jing was captured, and the prisoners were still detained. Liang Jun surrendered, but there was still one unresolved matter.

Xiao Yiheng's body has not yet been found.

Members of the royal family naturally want to be buried in imperial mausoleums, rather than leaving their corpses in the wilderness.

Nan Zhen didn't ask, but she guessed a bit.

Xiao Yiheng is worthy of the title of "King Chen" and deserves to be respected by the world.

She raised her hand and patted Xiao Rongxi's waist. Since she was buried in his arms, her voice was a little muffled and said, "Your Majesty, state affairs are the most important thing."

Xiao Rongxi opened his eyes, but the bloodshot eyes were more obvious. He looked down at her and said, "You haven't recovered yet. Get some rest early. I'll come find you after I finish handling the matters in the camp."

"it is good."

Nan Zhen nodded very meekly, "I'll wait for His Majesty to come back."

Xiao Rongxi raised her lips, turned around and strode away.

Nan Zhen looked at his back and took a long breath. At this moment, her heart dropped and she felt a little cold.

She raised her legs to close the door, but her knees softened involuntarily and she almost fell to her knees.

Fortunately, I managed to hold on to the edge of the table.

After standing for too long during the day, I felt my legs were a little weak when I relaxed.

That night, Nan Zhen had a good sleep.

The next day, when she opened the door, she found Wei Yan standing outside the door, her back turned to her, motionless.

She didn't even make a move to open the door.

Nan Zhen didn't know how long Wei Yan had been standing there, but she felt that there was a thin layer of frost on her clothes.

Nan Zhen gathered her cloak and stepped out of the threshold, "Why are you here at this time?"

Wei Yan turned around, her eyes red, and her tears didn't fall until she saw Nan Zhen.

"My lady..."
