Emperor Shen's charming wife

Chapter 171 Determination Awakens

Her eyes were full of love and tenderness, and the moonlight like water sprinkled on them through the window lattice. She gently stroked the little prince's face, her heart full of guilt and self-blame. "Child, it is your mother who is sorry for you, letting you be born in such an environment." Ning Yao said softly. The little prince blinked his eyes, as if he understood her words, and an innocent smile appeared on his face. Ning Yao's heart was stabbed, she hugged the little prince tightly, and tears could not help but flow down. "Child, mother will definitely protect you, and will not let anyone hurt you." The little prince seemed to feel her sadness, he stretched out his little hand and gently wiped the tears from her face. Ning Yao's heart was moved, she hugged the little prince tightly, and her tears surged even more. "Child, mother will definitely protect you, and will not let anyone hurt you." Late at night, in the silent palace, Li Muyun's hurried arrival broke Shen Yu's meditation. "Your Majesty, I came late at night to report something important." Li Muyun said respectfully with a solemn expression. Shen Yu nodded slightly, "Lord Li, what's the matter?" Li Muyun took a deep breath, "Your Majesty, I just got the news that the envoys of Dongyi are moving around in the capital, their whereabouts are secretive, and they seem to be eagerly looking for someone." Shen Yu frowned, "Who are they looking for?" Li Muyun hesitated for a moment, "Your Majesty, I suspect they are looking for General Ning's family." Shen Yu's face changed suddenly, "What? How do they know that General Ning's family is in the capital?" Li Muyun shook his head, "Your Majesty, I don't know. But this matter is quite strange. I guess they have received some secret information." Shen Yu's eyes turned cold, "Lord Li, you immediately send someone to protect General Ning's family. Don't let them come to any harm." Li Muyun nodded hurriedly, "Your Majesty, don't worry, I have sent a capable person." Shen Yu nodded, "Lord Li, do you have anything else to say?" Li Muyun hesitated, "Your Majesty, I think that the envoys of Dongyi are This arrogant and domineering, there must be someone behind them to support them. "Shen Yu nodded, "I know, but I don't know who is behind them yet." Li Muyun took a deep breath, "Your Majesty, I think the people behind them may be your enemies." Shen Yu's eyes turned cold, "My enemies?" Li Muyun nodded, "Your Majesty, think about it, since you ascended the throne, you have been promoting reforms, which have touched the interests of many people. These people hate you to the core, and they will definitely find a way to get rid of you. "Shen Yu's face became even gloomier, "I know, but I won't let them succeed. I will use my wisdom and strength to protect this country." Li Muyun nodded, "Your Majesty, I believe you can do it. But you also have to pay attention to your body. You are the master of this country, and your body is related to the fate of the entire country. "At the same time, Ning Yao hummed a lullaby in the bedroom, soothing the little prince to sleep. Her eyes were full of love and tenderness, and the watery moonlight sprinkled on them through the window lattice, adding a bit of tranquility to this scene. She gently stroked the little prince's face, her heart filled with guilt and self-blame. Ning Yao's heart was moved, she hugged the little prince tightly, tears flowing even more. "Child, mother will definitely protect you and won't let anyone hurt you." Shen Yu and Ning Yao stood by the window, looking at the silver moonlight outside the window, their hearts filled with emotion. "Yao'er, I feel that our situation is getting more and more dangerous." Shen Yu said softly. Ning Yao nodded, "Your Majesty, I feel the same way. The envoys of Dongyi are becoming more and more arrogant. There must be someone supporting them behind them." Ning Yao was silent for a moment, "Your Majesty, I think the person behind them may be your enemy." Ning Yao nodded, "Your Majesty, think about it, since you ascended the throne, you have been promoting reforms, which have affected the interests of many people. These people hate you to the core, and they will definitely find a way to get rid of you." Ning Yao nodded, "Your Majesty, I believe you can do it. But I also hope you can consider your own health. You are the master of this country, and your health is related to the fate of the entire country." Ning Yao hesitated, "Your Majesty, I think, is your way of governing the country too gentle?" Shen Yu's eyes turned cold, "What do you mean by this?" Ning Yao hurriedly explained, "Your Majesty, since you ascended the throne, you have been promoting reforms, but your reforms are too gentle and have not touched the fundamental interests of those powerful people. . They think you are weak and can be bullied, so they are so arrogant. "Shen Yu was silent for a moment, "I know that my reforms are not thorough enough, but I can't rush. I have to do it step by step, otherwise it will cause social unrest. "Ning Yao nodded, "Your Majesty, I understand your difficulties. But I also hope that you can consider your own health. You are the master of this country, and your health is related to the fate of the entire country. "Shen Yu nodded, "I know, I will consider it. "Ning Yao hesitated, "Your Majesty, I think you should consider the long-term layout. "Shen Yu frowned, "What do you mean by this?" Ning Yao took a deep breath, "Your Majesty, I think you should consider how to deal with the various challenges that may arise in the future. You can't just focus on the immediate interests, but should plan from a long-term perspective to lay a solid foundation for the long-term stability of the country. "Shen Yu nodded, "I know, I will consider it. " In the dead of night, everything was silent, and Shen Yu came to the Royal Library alone. The faint candlelight flickered in the pavilion, reflecting his solemn and resolute face. He walked lightly between rows of tall bookshelves, his eyes eagerly scanning the yellowed ancient books. Shen Yu's fingers gently stroked the old pages, as if he was having a conversation with his ancestors across time and space. His eyes were firm, and his heart was burning with a blazing fire of faith, that is, to do his best to protect this beautiful country and his beloved. Every time he turned a page of the book, his brows were furrowed, and his mind was constantly thinking about good strategies to deal with the current crisis. On the other side, Ning Yao was also making intensive preparations. She avoided the eyes and ears of the public and secretly contacted allies in the martial arts world. Relying on her unique memory before she crossed the book, she cleverly introduced some modern tactical ideas. In a hidden valley, Ning Yao personally commanded and trained a group of carefully selected elites. In the valley, shouts and cries of killing came one after another. These elites were all in high spirits, sweating profusely, and training hard. Ning Yao's eyes were sharp, and she carefully corrected everyone's movements and explained the essentials of tactics. They all knew that they were shouldering an important mission, and they would be Ning Yao's trump card to give the enemy a fatal blow at a critical moment. Li Muyun was Shen Yu's confidant and the person he trusted the most. He had been responsible for the safety of the palace for a long time, and he knew everything about the palace. Recently, he noticed that there were spies of unknown forces hiding in the palace, who were secretly passing information to the enemy. Li Muyun knew that this matter was no trivial matter, and he did not dare to act rashly, so as not to alarm the other party. So, he secretly investigated, and after many twists and turns, he finally locked his target on several suspicious people. A silent operation to catch the traitor kicked off. Every step he took had to be taken with extreme caution, fearing that the hidden man would be scared away if he was not careful. The young prince, who was still young, accidentally heard his parents' worried conversation. Although he was still young, he was also keenly aware that his country was facing many crises. He clearly understood that his father and mother were facing great difficulties and obstacles at the moment. He secretly made up his mind that he must be strong quickly and must not let his parents worry about him again. From then on, he began to study hard, looking forward to growing up as soon as possible and sharing the heavy pressure for his parents. His understanding and rapid growth made Shen Yu and Ning Yao feel relieved and at the same time, they couldn't help but feel pity. In the court, Shen Yu deliberately pretended to compromise and seemed to accept some of the unreasonable demands of the delegation. His real purpose was to paralyze the enemy and mistakenly believe that he was unable to resist, so as to relax his vigilance. At the same time, Shen Yu had already carefully deployed his troops in secret, waiting for the right time to give his opponent a thunderous and fatal blow at the most critical moment. In a dark night with howling wind, Shen Yu and Ning Yao met cautiously in secret. In a secret room, the two lowered their voices to communicate about the progress of their preparations. Ning Yao said softly, "I have quietly transferred the elites I trained to a secret place around the capital." Her eyes were firm, "Just waiting for your order, they will be able to enter the capital at lightning speed and fully assist you in suppressing the rebellion." Shen Yu nodded slightly and responded, "I have also secretly transferred back my trusted troops. These are all elite soldiers who have experienced hundreds of battles and their combat effectiveness is first-class." His eyes were full of confidence, "I firmly believe that as long as we have the support of these iron-blooded divisions, this rebellion will be successful." At this moment, the two held hands tightly, and each other's eyes flashed with a determined light. However, they had no idea that this secret meeting had been captured by a pair of secretly monitoring eyes. Their every move was seen by Concubine Shen's confidant.
