The queen cried the whole harem

Chapter 407 Action 10
Qi Hengyuan returned to the inner room.

Yan Ning was sitting on the bed drinking tonic soup. When she saw him come in, she glanced at him and continued drinking the soup.

Nian Die had just been beaten by Yang Qianyue and her face was still swollen, so she didn't come forward to serve.

Guo Xi was serving nearby.

Guo Xi also glanced at Qi Hengyuan, then slowly lowered his head.

Qi Hengyuan sat on the edge of the bed, took the soup bowl, and fed Yan Ning the soup himself.

His voice was a little heavy: "Don't take risks like this next time. Even if it's fake, I'm still worried."

Yan Ning reached out and touched her belly and hummed.

Qi Hengyuan felt that Uncle Jiang was really hateful. He could not wait any longer. He said, "I plan to let Chen Dongyan, Yan Lang, and Chen Hong go to the border first."

This means that he will no longer wait and he will formally declare war on the State of Jiang.

The original date for the war to officially begin was early March. Before the war began, Chen Dongyan, Yan Lang, and Chen Hong first went to the border and cut down the white flags at Hushui Pass, Dongchang Pass, and Qihuai Pass.

Their departure date was scheduled for mid-February, around February 20th.

Now there are only four days left.

Although it was only four days, Qi Hengyuan couldn't wait any longer.

He wants Chen Dongyan, Yan Lang and Chen Hong to set off tomorrow.

Yan Ning knew Qi Hengyuan's determination. This matter had been agreed upon long ago, so Yan Ning naturally would not object.

Yan Ning said: "Since Your Majesty has made a plan, then go ahead and do it. I support Your Majesty."

Qi Hengyuan always finds comfort in Yan Ning easily. No matter what happens, Yan Ning always supports him.

Regardless of whether she could help him or not, her willingness to support him in everything was enough to make him fall for her.

Qi Hengyuan held Yan Ning's hand and said, "You know the abilities of Chen Dongyan, Yan Lang, and Chen Hong. With the three of them going to cut down the white flag, there shouldn't be any problems. And I am fully prepared for this declaration of war. Even if Uncle Jiang is difficult to deal with, I will definitely take over the remaining three borders this time."

Yan Ning nodded: "Your Majesty will certainly succeed."

After Qi Hengyuan finished his business, he fed Guo Xi the rest of the tonic soup and handed the empty bowl to her.

Qi Hengyuan reached out and touched Yan Ning's belly through her clothes: "I will not participate in this operation to recapture the border. I will accompany you in the palace."

Qi Hengyuan originally planned to lead the army himself. After all, the Nine Passes and Nine Cities were of great significance to him. He had to recapture the Nine Passes and Nine Cities personally to comfort his father, mother, and brother.

Even if he led the army himself, he would take Yan Ning with him.

His original plan was to bring Yan Ning with him, so that Yan Ning could gain prestige, and then it would be very smooth for her to be crowned queen.

But Yan Ning was pregnant, so he couldn't take her to the battlefield, and he was really worried.

He was naturally relieved to leave her in the palace, but he didn't want her to stay alone in the palace after getting pregnant.

Qi had many generals that could be used, and he had also made sufficient preparations for the remaining three city passes. Although he did not lead the army personally, he believed that Qi would surely win.

After hearing what Qi Hengyuan said, Yan Ning raised her eyebrows in surprise.

She knew what retaking the nine passes and nine cities meant to the King of Qi.

Qi Hengyuan went to each of the border passes, starting from the first one, Bobei Pass, and then to the next one. He wanted to personally take back the nine borders that he had lost. That was his duty, his mission, and his obsession.

There are only the last three city passes left, and Yan Ning certainly knows that he can recapture them all.

No matter how many tricks Uncle King Jiang had, it was of no avail.

But she didn't expect that Qi Hengyuan would give up his obsession and not go to the border in person for her.

Yan Ning held Qi Hengyuan's hand and said softly, "Your Majesty, I can also accompany you to the border."

"No! You are pregnant, how can you go to such a dangerous place? Recovering the border is important, but your health is more important. I can't let you get into any trouble."

Yan Ning was touched and said with a smile: "Then I will stay in the palace. Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about me. You know my ability. Nothing will happen to me."

After a pause, she continued, "Recovering the Nine Passes and Nine Cities is your majesty's wish and your obsession. I don't want your majesty to be unable to fulfill his obsession because of me."

"I know that even if Your Majesty doesn't go, the remaining three borders will definitely be recovered, but for Your Majesty, that's different, isn't it?"

Qi Hengyuan pursed his lips. It was indeed different.

But as long as the remaining three passes are recovered, it doesn’t matter whether he goes or not.

As long as he takes back the Nine Passes and Nine Cities, he will be able to give an explanation to his father, mother, and brother, and his father, mother, and brother will be able to rest in peace.

Qi Hengyuan held Yan Ning's hand tightly and said, "It doesn't matter. As long as we take back the Nine Passes and Nine Cities, even if I don't go to the remaining three borders in person, I can comfort my father, mother, and brother. If they know about this, they can rest in peace."

Seeing that Qi Hengyuan had made up his mind, Yan Ning said no more.

Qi Hengyuan accompanied Yan Ning for a day. The next morning, he summoned Chen Dongyan, Yan Lang, and Chen Hong to the palace and asked them to get ready and set off immediately for the border.

Chen Dongyan, Yan Lang, and Chen Hong looked at each other and saw Qi Hengyuan's urgency and determination. Without saying anything, the three of them took the order and went back to prepare.

Before Yan Lang left, he went to Fengyi Palace to visit Yan Ning.

Yan Lang also heard about what happened in the palace.

Yan Lang asked, "Is Fourth Sister okay?"

Yan Ning smiled and said, "It's okay, the child is healthy and I am fine too."

Yan Lang nodded: "That's good. The things in the palace have not spread outside. I heard it from Chen Hong, and Chen Hong heard it from Chen Dongyan."

Yan Lang and Chen Hong both have semi-supernatural powers, but they dare not snoop into what is happening in the palace at will, and the matter of Rong Wanyin has not been widely spread outside.

After all, although Rong Wanyin was a native of Jiang and came to Qi as an envoy, she did not reveal her identity, so no one knew her identity after her execution.

When Yang Xiaoli arrested Xiangqin and Xiqiu, there was some noise, but it was not a big one. However, everyone in the inn knew about it, and the matter naturally spread.

The only news that got out was that the Silver Guards had captured two thieves.

They were just two thieves, there was nothing to gossip about, and the matter was quickly over.

What happened in the palace was not spread out, but the imperial edict abolishing the title of Princess Yang Qianyue was spread out.

The people were talking a lot.

"What did Princess Heyi do to make His Majesty so angry?"

"I seem to have heard that Princess Heyi brought an unruly maid into the palace at your majesty's birthday banquet. The maid wanted to seduce your majesty and harm Concubine Yan's unborn child. Princess Heyi didn't apologize, nor did she feel she was wrong. Instead, she excused the maid and spoke well of her. Your Majesty was so angry that he abolished her princess title and even took back the princess's mansion."
