The Poisonous Wife: Cute Baby Comes to Rebirth with Me

Chapter 555 National Pain
Yun Xi now had a complete understanding of the meaning of family, country and the world. She knew very well that hidden behind it was the magnificent Battle of Mobei.

That war was once a huge shadow in Daqing's history. The Daqing army suffered a heavy blow in that battle and lost nearly 150,000 soldiers.

In order to seek peace, Daqing had to cede thirteen states to the Huns. This was a national pain and an eternal pain in her heart.

Thinking back to the battle before her rebirth, Yun Xi's heart was still heavy.

By then, Zhao Songyan, as the head coach, had gradually become conceited and arrogant, and even stopped listening to her advice.

He thought he had a sure victory, so he left her behind. At that time, she was pregnant and could not go to the battlefield in person.

However, the outcome of the war was beyond everyone's expectations. The Daqing army suffered a crushing defeat and the entire country was shrouded in the shadow of grief.

After returning to the capital, the emperor did not severely punish the defeated generals, but only ordered an investigation into the reasons for the defeat.

However, Yun Xi was accused of treason. She knew very well that it was not her fault, but the chain reaction caused by the war.

That war would begin six years later, and it was still unknown whether she could survive until then.

The Empress Dowager looked at her with a firm look in her eyes: "Yunxi, you and Yihan need to make achievements. Only in this way can you convince others and take on heavier responsibilities in the future."

Yun Xi nodded in agreement. She understood what the Empress Dowager meant and also understood her own responsibilities.

"You are a man who can accomplish great things. The trivial matters of the inner palace should not hinder you. You can use your own means to achieve your goals, but you must do it cleanly and neatly, and don't leave room for criticism." The Empress Dowager said earnestly. Yun Xi's blood boiled. She knew that she was about to embark on a challenging road, but she was willing to fight for Daqing and the people. "But you must remember that the emperor is the core of the country. There are some things he cannot know, otherwise it will affect his judgment and the safety of the country."

The Empress Dowager added another sentence. Yun Xi nodded to show that she understood. She knew that she had to act carefully and not cause any trouble to the emperor.

"It's not easy to build a kingdom, and it's even harder to keep it. Especially in this era of great power competition, one wrong step could lead to the destruction of a country and a family."

The words of the Empress Dowager were full of worry and expectation. "Yun Xi, I hope you can remember the lesson and not let the people of Daqing fall into panic and pain again. I promised the late emperor to protect this territory, and I will fulfill this promise at all costs. But if you take a wrong step and ruin my plan, I will also be ruthless to you."

Yun Xi's heart trembled. She knew that the words of the Empress Dowager were not empty talk. She took a deep breath and said firmly, "I understand."

The Empress Dowager nodded with satisfaction, then waved her hand to signal Yun Xi to leave.

Yun Xi stood up, bowed and left, then walked out of the hall.

After she left, Madam Bei Minghou came out from behind the screen. She looked at Yun Xi's back and said, "This girl is quite capable. It's her blessing to have your favor."

The Empress Dowager smiled and said, "Azi, you have also seen how much loss the failure of the Battle of Mobei has brought to Daqing.

We cannot let such a tragedy happen again.

Thinking of the disastrous defeat in the Battle of Mobei, Ah Zi felt a chill down her spine.
