Emperor Shen's charming wife

When they heard the news, Shen Yu and Ning Yao were extremely anxious. They rushed back to the palace without stopping, and waited anxiously for further news from the front. At this moment, the two held hands tightly, with such force that they seemed to want to embed each other's hands into their palms, and each other's eyes were filled with deep worry and inseparable concern. Not long after, a personal guard of the little prince returned in a miserable state. He was ragged and bloodstained, and he recounted the attack in a broken voice. "Your Majesty, Queen, we encountered a fierce attack by unknown forces on the road. The other side was numerous and powerful, surging like a tide, while we were weak and outnumbered, and were finally ruthlessly dispersed by them." Shen Yu's face instantly became gloomy as water, and his eyes burned with raging anger, as if he could burn everything in front of him. "What about the little prince?" Shen Yu asked anxiously, with an uncontrollable tremor in his voice. The guard's face was full of pain, and his voice trembled more and more: "The little prince was forcibly taken away by the enemy. We fought desperately and tried our best, but we still couldn't save him." Ning Yao heard this, her face turned pale as paper in an instant, her body trembled slightly uncontrollably, her eyes were full of pain and despair, and tears rolled in her eyes. "However, before the little prince was taken away, a mysterious force suddenly appeared and rescued him, but we don't know where he is now." Shen Yu and Ning Yao looked at each other and saw a glimmer of hope in each other's eyes. "Send someone to check immediately, and make sure to find the whereabouts of the little prince!" Shen Yu ordered loudly. The guard responded and turned and hurried away. Shen Yu gently patted Ning Yao's shoulder, his eyes full of tenderness and comfort. "Don't worry, he will be fine." Ning Yao nodded slightly, with a firm light in her eyes. "Well, he will be fine." During this long and agonizing wait, Shen Yu saw that Ning Yao was always tense and anxious, so he gently suggested that they play chess together to relieve boredom. The exquisite chessboard was placed in front of the two, and the black and white chess pieces fell alternately. In the seemingly relaxed atmosphere, in fact, the minds of the two were not on this chess game at all. Every move of the chess was made with deep concern and worry. They silently prayed in their hearts that the little prince would return safely. As the night deepened, the candlelight in the room swayed slightly. Ning Yao finally leaned on Shen Yu's shoulder for a nap because of physical and mental exhaustion. Shen Yu's movements were extremely gentle. He slowly stretched out his hand and gently stroked her hair, as if it was the most precious silk in the world. His eyes were full of love and determination. He secretly swore in his heart that no matter how many difficulties and obstacles there were ahead, no matter what the price was, he must bring the child back safely without any harm, and give Ning Yao a complete, warm and happy home. Just as the two were intoxicated with this brief tranquility, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the palace, followed by an urgent report. "Your Majesty, it's bad. The enemy has put forward new conditions and wants you to go in person to exchange hostages." This sudden urgent report was like a sharp bolt from the blue, instantly shattering this moment of sweetness. Shen Yu's face became increasingly gloomy, as if water could drip out, and his deep eyes were burning with anger. "It's so hateful. How dare they put forward such a ridiculous condition." Ning Yao's face turned pale as paper in an instant, and her delicate body couldn't help but tremble slightly. "No, absolutely not, you must not go, they must have ulterior motives and hidden conspiracies." Shen Yu gently patted Ning Yao's shoulder, his eyes filled with watery tenderness and comfort. "Don't worry, Yao'er, I'll be fine." Ning Yao held Shen Yu's hand tightly, the joints of her hand turned white due to the force, and her eyes flashed with an extremely determined light. "No, I will never allow you to go. How can I let you put yourself in danger?" Shen Yu nodded slightly, his eyes full of tenderness and deep love. "Don't worry, I will definitely return safely."
