After the princess was reborn, she kissed the ruthless kidnapper

Chapter 166 "Don't worry, Changle, for you and the child, I will protect myself."

After discussing the matter of Lu’s army with Jiang Ci’an, it was actually quite late.

But no one mentioned leaving.

It was so hard to see each other, and both of them were reluctant to leave.

It was only when Bai Zhi came in cautiously and urged her that she had to look at Jiang Ci'an.

Although Jiang Ci'an was reluctant to let her go, he took into consideration that she was pregnant and injured, so he took the initiative to ask her to go back and rest early.

"It's cold and the roads are slippery. Changle, don't come over here anymore. I'll come to see you after I've settled my military affairs."

"it is good……"

Having said that, the situation on the border is tense.

Who knows when the Firearms Battalion will set out?

If they do head to the border...

Then it would be difficult to see him again...

Seeing that she was unhappy, Jiang Ci'an stood up and hugged her to calm her down.

"Don't think too much, I'm here."

"Um……"

Shen Changle also raised his hand and gently stroked his back.

Only then did he help her out of the tent.

Zhao Dasheng and others were waiting outside the camp with Wang Xiaodeng. Seeing that she was about to leave, they asked with concern:

"Second sister-in-law, do you want us to escort you back?"

Jiang Ci'an looked at her reluctantly, wishing she would order him to give her a ride and stay with her for a while longer.

But the weather is getting colder at night. Judging from how gray the sky is, it may even snow in the evening.

Shen Changle also couldn't bear to let him run back and forth in the wind and snow.

Then he quietly hooked Jiang Ci'an's finger and said to Zhao Dasheng with a smile:

"No need. It's cold at night. You need to rest well to recharge your energy."

As soon as Zhao Dasheng and others heard it, they knew that these words were directed at Jiang Ci'an.

They all winked at Jiang Ci'an and laughed playfully:

"Second sister-in-law is really caring!"

"Yes, second brother is so lucky!"

Jiang Ci'an was annoyed by their disturbance and said with a dark face:

"How's your aim? You're just slacking off here!"

Zhao Dasheng and Zhu Jiuxing chuckled, nodded, and turned around.

"Okay, okay, it would be lazy for us to send Second Sister-in-law off, and only allow Second Brother to send her off!"

"That's right! Stop interrupting their lovemaking. We who don't have wives should go practice with our muskets!"

As if they were alone, they walked away arm in arm, laughing and joking, causing Jiang Ci'an to curse softly:

"A bunch of brats!"

Shen Changle, however, really liked this kind of atmosphere between them.

She knew that Jiang Ci'an only said he disliked them, but in fact he doted on them very much!

Then she leaned on his shoulder, tilted her head and said jokingly:

"Calling someone a brat now is a good idea. When you encounter something, don't stand in front of them!"

Jiang Ci'an knew she was subtly warning him—

You must protect yourself on the battlefield and never risk your life for your brothers.

She was afraid that her original intention was to help him, but in the end, it gave him more concerns and constraints.

Jiang Ci'an understood her worries and anxieties, and gently held her in his arms.

"Don't worry, Changle, for you and the child, I will protect myself."

Of course... brothers, he will protect you too!

And her country!

Shen Changle breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he understood.

He reluctantly tied the cloak on his armor.

"Remember what you said... Then, I'm leaving..."

"Well, go back early. I'll come to see you after I've arranged my military affairs."

"it is good……"

Reluctantly getting on the carriage, Shen Changle opened the window and looked out.

I saw the red cloak standing in the snow, motionless, and it didn't leave for a long time.

Until the world became wider and wider, and he, who was once tall and mighty, became a tiny dot of light...

Shen Changle then withdrew his gaze, and his eyes became wet without him noticing.

She didn't know what wish he made on his birthday.

But she only prayed secretly, hoping that everything would go well for him, and that he would be safe and happy...

She let go of her hands that were tightly gripping the window frame and lay down on the bed with the help of Bai Zhi.

He took a long breath, calmed his mind, and then asked:

"Is there any news from the emperor's uncle?"

The white pheasant leaned forward and nodded.

"Reporting to Your Highness, the prince has met Madam Wen, but I heard that... Madam Wen seems to still insist on seeing Your Highness."

"Oh?"

Weird.

Isn't the emperor's uncle, the regent, more trustworthy than her, a princess with no real power?

Or……

Is there anything that she can do but the emperor's uncle can't?

"What did the uncle say?"

"The prince only said to report the news to His Highness, and the specific handling of the matter will be subject to His Highness's arrangements."

Shen Changle raised his chin slightly, and a dark light flashed in his pupils.

After a moment's silence, he said:

"In that case, I will summon Madam Wen tomorrow."

"Yes……"

The carriage was running smoothly, and after Shen Changle gave his instructions, he fell into a deep sleep.

It was not until he arrived at the palace that he was awakened by Bai Zhi.

During dinner, Shen Tingyu brought up the matter again.

"Today, I met Madam Wen."

"Well, what do you think, uncle?"

"Mrs. Wen looks very unwell—

His face was very pale, with obvious bruises under his eyes, but his eyes were very determined, as if he had made the decision with great determination.

Shen Changle nodded.

"I've already sent the invitation. To conceal my identity, I've also invited several ladies from other families."

"Changle does things properly, which makes the emperor's uncle look at her with new eyes."

Shen Tingyu did not hide his admiration for her.

In recent days, even the way he looks at her has changed!

In the past, I looked at her with pampering and affection, like a child;

Now... there is a bit more respect for his comrades in his eyes.

The tone of his conversation with her also changed from arranging things to discussing things.

Shen Changle really likes the feeling of being able to help them!

If there is anything, I dare to speak to them directly.

Otherwise, if it were in the past...

Even if she told them, they probably wouldn't take it to heart.

Thinking of this, Shen Changle tentatively expressed his distrust of Lu Mingchao.

"Uncle Emperor... I remember you said before that Lu Mingchao is unreliable. Then can we let him go to the battlefield?"

When Shen Tingyu heard her ask this, he put down his bowl and chopsticks, looked into her eyes and explained to show his respect.

“Lu Mingchao is indeed unreliable, and the Emperor and I have taken this into consideration.

But because of the special nature of his status, he must stay in the army no matter what..."

"That……"

Shen Changle didn't understand and became even more worried.

He dismissed his attendants, lowered his voice, and said softly:

"Don't worry, at least half of the Lu family army has become ours."

Only then did Shen Changle feel relieved.

Unexpectedly, the emperor's uncle and brother had already made preparations for both scenarios.

But how and when did it begin?

She was very surprised.

After all, if it was like this in the previous life, it would be hard to imagine...

How did the State of Qi fall?

"When did the emperor's uncle start deploying?"

Shen Tingyu hesitated for a moment before looking up and telling the truth.

"It all started with your marriage proposal... but the catalyst for it to come to fruition was your breaking off of the engagement!"

Shen Changle suddenly realized.

It must be that those generals and soldiers saw that Lu Mingchao had fallen out of favor, so they defected.

In the previous life...

She didn't break off the engagement...

It turns out that the gears of fate started turning from the moment I met Jiang Ci'an.

In her previous life, she also had the opportunity... to save Qi...
