“Oh, it’s nothing. Aren’t you hungry? How about Yuer accompanies you to eat? I don’t know why, but I’m hungry again after just eating,” Mei Siyu said, pulling Ming Lengchen towards the hall. She hoped he wouldn’t dig deeper, or else her clever Chen might extract the truth, and her plan would be ruined, which would make Qing’er sad!
Qing’er trusted her so much, entrusting her entire future to her. If she messed things up because of herself, wouldn’t that break Qing’er’s heart? She must not let Chen suspect anything!
“Yuer, are you hiding something from me? You’re being so good today,” Ming Lengchen asked.
“Chen, I’m really hungry. Can we chat while eating? Please?” Mei Siyu whined, pulling Ming Lengchen outside. Try to probe her secrets? No way!
Ming Lengchen stared at Mei Siyu for a moment, allowing her to lead him out of the room. Today’s Mei Siyu was indeed strange.
“Yuer, in three days, I’ll be accompanying General Ying on a campaign,” Ming Lengchen said while eating the food Mei Siyu had served him.
“Oh, really? That’s great! Leiling Kingdom can win another victory!” Mei Siyu exclaimed sincerely.
“Yes, but I’m worried about you,” Ming Lengchen held her delicate hand, genuinely concerned.
“Chen, don’t worry. Yuer can take care of herself. Nothing will happen. Eat quickly,” Mei Siyu served him more food again.
Heaven is helping me! Chen is going on a campaign, which makes our plan even more seamless! She was inwardly jubilant. The only thing she was worried about now was the Empress Dowager. She hoped her lie could fool the usually shrewd Empress Dowager!
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, three days had passed.
A grand crowd stood on the platform, waiting for the Emperor to lead the troops into battle! Since Ming Lengchen’s ascension, Leiling Kingdom had been expanding its territory year after year, and its population had multiplied. This was a testament to the young monarch’s excellent governance! The soldiers were spirited, each looking heroic and ready to charge.
“Long live the Emperor! May Leiling Kingdom prosper forever!” everyone shouted.
“Move out!” Ming Lengchen looked sternly at the soldiers below.
