Upon hearing this, Xie Chaochao frowned, and a trace of reluctance and stubbornness flashed in her eyes. She knew that the emperor's decision was difficult to change, but she also understood that as the queen, she should take the overall situation into consideration and not act on impulse. However, the sense of responsibility and mission in her heart made it impossible for her to give up. "Your Majesty, although I am a woman, I also know that the rise and fall of a country is the responsibility of every man. I am willing to use my meager strength to help your majesty solve the problem, and I hope your majesty will do it."

She said this.

Chu Heng looked at the woman who had been with him for many years, and a complex emotion surged in his heart. He knew Xie Chaochao's intelligence and bravery, and he understood her sincerity. But because of this, he couldn't let her take risks. He stood up, walked slowly to Xie Chaochao, gently took her hand, his eyes gentle and firm: "Chaochao, I understand your kindness. But this matter concerns the safety of the country, and I have my own arrangements. You stay in the palace and wait for me to quell the rebellion, and then enjoy this beautiful land with you."

After saying that, Chu Heng turned around and walked out of the hall with big strides. His back revealed an unquestionable kingly aura. Xie Chaochao looked at the gradually receding back, feeling mixed emotions. She knew that although she could not go to the front line in person, she could help the emperor in other ways and protect the land they both loved. So, she secretly made up her mind to build an indestructible backing for the emperor in the rear, so that those villains would have nowhere to hide.

Empress Xie Chaochao shook her head gently, her bright eyes gleaming with determination and wisdom, like the brightest stars in the night sky, expressing her unquestionable determination. She said softly but firmly: "I, Xie Chaochao, must handle this matter personally. It concerns the peace of the country and the well-being of the people. How can I sit back and do nothing?"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Chu Heng frowned, his eyes showing some worry and helplessness. He knew the Queen's temperament very well. Once she made up her mind, she would be as hard to shake as a rock. However, the shadow of war was quietly covering this land, and every decision had to be made with extreme caution.

"Chao Chao, do you know how cruel war is?" Chu Heng's voice was low and powerful, trying to convince her with reason, "Once the war breaks out, many families will be separated and many innocent lives will be lost. As the queen, you should understand the weight of this responsibility."

Xie Chaochao smiled slightly, that smile was gentle but also contained a tenacity that should not be underestimated. "That is why I have to stand up. Haven't you ever thought that there might be a better way to avoid this meaningless fight and restore peace to the world?"

Chu Heng's heart was slightly moved when he heard this. He had indeed never thought deeply about other possibilities besides war. For a long time, force seemed to be the most direct and helpless way to resolve all disputes. He stared at the queen, with a glimmer of expectation in his eyes, "So, do you have any good ideas that can calm down this storm without fighting?"

Xie Chaochao's eyes flashed with cunning, as if he had already made up his mind. "Of course there is a way, but it requires you and me to work together, and it also requires some wisdom and courage. We might as well start from the root and find the real cause of this war. Perhaps we can find a neglected path to reconciliation. After all, everything in this world is interdependent and mutually exclusive, and this is also true for war and peace."

At this point, she slowly stood up, walked to the window, and looked out at the sky dyed red by the setting sun, with a hint of longing and determination in her tone. "I believe that as long as we have compassion in our hearts and wisdom as vast as the sea, we will surely find the key to open the door to peace and let this land be bathed in tranquility and peace again."

Chu Heng looked at the queen's tall and gentle back, and an unprecedented strength surged in his heart. Yes, perhaps there really is another possibility, a path to peace that does not require blood and tears. He stood up and strode towards Xie Chaochao. The two stood side by side, looking into the distance together, as if they had already seen a future without war and full of hope.

Chu Heng's eyes slowly swept across every corner of the palace, and finally fixed on the gentle face of Queen Xie Chaochao. Her face was like a newly blossoming lily, fresh and refined, with wisdom and gentleness flashing in her eyes. The queen was wearing a gorgeous phoenix robe, with a phoenix embroidered with gold thread spreading its wings and ready to fly, which complemented her noble and extraordinary temperament.

"Chao Chao," Chu Heng's voice was low and magnetic, as if it could penetrate people's hearts, "give me some time to think about it. This matter concerns the future of the country and there can be no mistakes." There was a hint of imperceptible anxiety in his tone, but it also revealed his trust and dependence on the queen.

Xie Chaochao nodded gently upon hearing this. Her movements were graceful and firm, like a willow branch swaying in the spring breeze, gentle yet powerful. "Okay, Your Majesty." Her voice was soft and firm, like the warm spring sun, warming people's hearts. "If you can't handle it, I will do my best to help you solve your problems."

At this moment, the Purple Palace seemed to have frozen in time, and the air was filled with an indescribable tacit understanding and warmth. Chu Heng and Xie Chaochao, the imperial couple, although at the pinnacle of power, supported each other and faced the storms together. Their eyes met, as if thousands of words were conveyed in silence, and they understood each other without saying much.

Empress Xie Chaochao, wearing a luxurious phoenix robe and a dazzling nine-phoenix pearl crown, slowly stepped into the magnificent palace. Every step she took showed the solemnity and majesty of a mother of the country, as if even the air was filled with an inviolable royal atmosphere. The sunlight shone through the delicate window lattices and sprinkled on her slender but upright back, coating her with a layer of light golden light, adding a bit of otherworldly beauty.

Emperor Chu Heng, wearing a dragon robe, sat on the high dragon throne, following the queen's figure with deep and complicated eyes. Since the queen gave birth to the dragon son, Chu Heng noticed a subtle and profound change in her. It was an indescribable aura emanating from the inside out, like a new bud breaking through the ground in spring, seemingly weak, but containing endless vitality and unyielding will.

The Queen's steps were steady and confident, and every step seemed to announce to the world that she was not only the master of the harem, but also the unshakable strong backing of the country. Her eyes flashed with wisdom and determination, as if she could see through people's hearts and deter all villains. This momentum made Chu Heng feel a little admiration and praise, but also mixed with a trace of indescribable worry.
