"Your servant, I would like a token that will allow me to move back and forth between those towers." Liu Yueru asked cautiously.

Seeing that Emperor Hexu didn't look very well, she continued, "I just want to see if there is anything I can do to help."

"They are busy with the war, so they tend to neglect the things that happen afterwards. If someone can help take care of those chores later, it would be better."

Emperor Hexu's expression softened a bit. "You are thoughtful. How can you tell me how you want to help with the chores?"

"When there is a shortage of food, I can help call for people to dispatch food, and I can also help take care of the wounded. Also, those weapons and gunpowder need someone to count, and I can take charge of these tasks."

"Nonsense! You are a woman, how can you......"

"Your Majesty!" Before Emperor Hexu could finish his words, the voice of Concubine Xian sounded from outside.

She walked quickly to the side of Emperor Hexu, bowed to him, and then said with a smile, "Your Majesty, I think this is a good idea."

Emperor Hexu frowned. Although he was unhappy, he still listened patiently to Concubine Xian's continuation. "Who says women are inferior to men? There were many female generals in our ancestors who fought in battles and were very majestic. Yue'er just wanted to join the war and help do these things."

"Although it is a little dangerous, her father, brother, and husband are all on the city wall. It would be uneasy for her to stay idle in the mansion. It would be more reassuring for her to watch."

Liu Yueru listened to what Concubine Xian said and nodded hurriedly.

Emperor Hexu sighed softly. He was the same.

He raised his hand towards Liu Yueru and said helplessly, "Forget it, forget it. If you want to go, then go ahead. But remember to change into men's clothes. It's really inappropriate for a woman to walk back and forth in the military camp."

When Liu Yueru saw Emperor Hexu was kind to the four of them, she quickly knelt down to express her gratitude.

"Okay, go back early." Emperor Hexu gestured.

The virtuous concubine also hurriedly stood up to see her off.

She took Liu Yueru's hand and said, "When you get to the tower, don't push yourself too hard. If you feel tired, go back to the mansion and have a good rest. Your health is important."

"Also, listen to Jingrui. If there is any danger, run away first. The child is still young. It is enough for you to have a heart."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Liu Yueru responded in a gentle voice.

The virtuous concubine sighed softly, "You can still go and watch over it, and I will feel more at ease. If possible, please help me take care of Jingrui. I only have this one child..."

Her voice was choked with sobs as she spoke.

Liu Yueru hurriedly comforted him, "Don't worry, we will be fine."

The virtuous concubine placed the token that the emperor had just handed to her in Liu Yueru's palm and said earnestly, "Wait for your triumphant return."

The palace gate opened and Liu Yueru's mother left.

The moment the palace gate closed, Concubine Xian lowered her head, holding a handkerchief and quietly wiped her tears.

A man suddenly appeared beside him, raised his hand and took Concubine Xian into his arms; "You, you are worried about yourself, but you refuse to tell me. Why are you standing here secretly wiping your tears?"

Emperor Hexu gently put a cloak on her and spoke to Concubine Xian in a weathered voice.

Concubine Xian wiped away her tears and smiled at Emperor Hexu. "No, I just got some sand in my eyes and I feel a little uncomfortable."

Emperor Hexu took her hand and said, "Come on, walk with me."

The two of them went up to the palace gate tower together.

It’s very high, and you can see the smoke from the wars around you.

The virtuous concubine had never seen such a scene before, and she couldn't help but become even more worried.

Emperor Hexu's dark eyes were fixed on the flags on the city walls. "Don't be afraid. As long as the flags don't fall, everyone will be safe."

Concubine Xian forced a smile, stood beside Emperor Hexu, and watched Liu Yueru's carriage go away.

"That kid is thoughtful, too," she muttered quietly.

Emperor Hexu followed Concubine Xian's gaze.

"Yes, he has the same personality as Jingrui, very stubborn." Emperor Hexu spoke in a gentle voice.

"I think it's good for a woman to have her own ideas. Sometimes I even envy her." The virtuous concubine said with a gentle smile.

"When this war is over, I will accompany you around."

The light in Concubine Xian's eyes gradually brightened, and she asked expectantly, "Really?"

"Really, I've had enough of this palace and this throne!"

The virtuous concubine pursed her lips and tried not to smile.

The emperor's edict was issued soon.

Those nobles took the initiative to send one of their palace doctors to the Liu Mansion.

Liu Yuru has now come out disguised as a man.

She counted that there were about fifty doctors from various prefectures.

At this moment, Lixia also got the news from various city towers.

"Madam, Eldest Young Master, Master, Second Young Master, there are relatively few injured people in those places at the moment. Their firepower is mainly concentrated on the tower where the prince is."

Liu Yueru thought for a moment and said, "Clean up the area in West City and transfer the more seriously injured soldiers there. Send five court doctors to each of the city gates to help. The rest will be sent to the temporary accommodation areas for the injured in West City and East City, half each."

"Then we will dispatch some old women, servants, and maids from the mansion and send them to West City and East City to help take care of the injured."

"Yes." Mother Yan turned around and started to act.

After Liu Yueru left the house, she first went to the research and development base where Li Jiangyan was.

When he came out, he had a scruffy beard, dark circles under his eyes, and looked haggard.

Liu Yueru was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "How many days have you not had a good rest?"

Li Jiangyan pointed at the places outside and said, "The prince wants me to make gunpowder quickly. The capital is now surrounded by enemies. I dare not neglect it."

"Miss Liu, you are here to deliver the gunpowder, right? You can have someone take it away later. But when you see the prince, you must tell him that everyone is tired and the gunpowder should be used sparingly. The supply of gunpowder will be reduced by half compared to now, so let the prince allocate it reasonably."

"Got it. You guys should get some rest." Liu Yueru signaled her servants to take the gunpowder away.

Xie Jingrui learned about Liu Yueru's movements early on.

From time to time, I would look from a distance on the city wall.

Several carriages were coming towards them not far away.

Xie Jingrui came down from the city wall.

The carriage stopped.

Liu Yueru came out from inside, and Xie Jingrui stepped forward and carried her down from the carriage.

He asked Liu Yueru in a very gentle voice, "Why did you come out with this makeup? I almost didn't recognize you."

Liu Yueru looked Xie Jingrui up and down for a few times, and seeing that he was not injured, she said with relief, "If the emperor agrees, I will stay here, and I will travel in men's clothes, which will be more convenient."

Xie Jingrui heard that the noise outside had become much quieter, and asked, "Do you want to go up and take a look?"

Liu Yueru let Xie Jingrui lead her up to the city wall.

A pair of eyes in the distance quickly locked onto Liu Yueru......
