Nanguo's surprise attack on Yuzhou City took the lead at first, but when Xi Qin reacted, Nanguo's momentum was quickly suppressed.

Huai Ziyu ordered the army to burn down the southernmost city of the Southern Kingdom with firearms in retaliation, and the border between the two countries has been completely in chaos since then.

With 20 soldiers on the border of Xiqin, the war is imminent.

The flames of war reignited, and in the second half of the year, both Xiqin and Nanguo were shrouded in suspicion of war.

In the past, the Southern Kingdom unilaterally crushed Xiqin, but now Xiqin was able to fight it several times without losing the wind.

It's a pity that the foundation of hundreds of years is missing. Even if the new emperor has both talents and the blessing of Ziwei Star, Xi Qin still cannot win a complete victory.

After half a year of stalemate, there are already signs of depletion of national power.

In desperation, Huaijin decided to go on a personal conquest with his own driver, and make a quick decision.

Less than a year after he took the throne, he was about to go to the battlefield in person. Xi Qin looked up to the new emperor with admiration, but was also afraid that he would be in danger, so Xi Qin lost his backbone.

The matter of Yujia's personal conquest was decided in the court hall in the morning, and Ming Feiqing knew the news at noon.

At that time, he was hugging A Yuan in his arms, feeding him milk and egg custard, Tian Qing hurriedly brought the news to him, Ming Feiqing's hand holding the spoon only paused indiscernibly, and then continued Hey A Yuan, coax the child as if nothing had happened.

When others heard the news, they reacted more or less, but he was as stable as Mount Tai.

In the past six months, his attitude towards the emperor's affairs has always been cold and indifferent.

A Yuan was full, and nestled in his father's arms to play, calling "Daddy" in a childish voice.

Ming Feiqing raised a finger, scratched the bridge of little A Yuan's nose, hugged him and stood up.

"It's time to see the Queen Mother today."

He carried Ah Yuan to Shoukang Palace, but was told that the Empress Dowager had gone to Tianji Temple early this morning.

"Tianji Temple?" Ming Feiqing was puzzled, "Why did you go there suddenly?"

The court lady replied respectfully: "Your Majesty will send the imperial conquest in person in the near future, and the Empress Dowager wants to ask for a peace talisman for him in person."

Ming Feiqing: "..."

Unexpectedly, the Empress Dowager would attach so much importance to Huai Jin who wanted to kill her, that she would personally come to beg for his safety.

Ming Feiqing went to Tianji Temple with Ah Yuan in his arms.

He had never set foot in this royal temple before, and he only knew that this place, like the Tianji Pavilion, had a certain understanding of astrology theology.

It is said that the gods and Buddhas here are very effective.

As for how effective it is, Ming Feiqing has no idea.

He came by coincidence, and the queen mother and her party just left the temple.

Ah Yuan laughed as soon as he saw his grandmother. After all, he was his own grandparent.

Ming Feiqing put A Yuan on the ground, patted him on the back lightly, and A Yuan walked towards the Queen Mother in a nonchalant manner.

He was still not very steady in walking, Xichun carefully followed behind and supported him to prevent the little prince from falling.

When Empress Dowager Jing saw A Yuan, she immediately quickened her pace, stepped forward, hugged A Yuan into her arms, and kissed again and again.

Now that Huai Yuan has been adopted by Huai Jin to his knees, he is naturally not happy with the Queen Mother getting too close to Huai Yuan, and the Queen Mother can only see A Yuan once or twice a month.

Although Huai Ziyu spared the queen mother, the thorn in her heart was still there, and she was unwilling to let the queen mother live too comfortably.

The queen mother saw that A Yuan was bigger than before, and her eyes were full of gratitude to Ming Feiqing.

Her only hope for living now is to watch A Yuan grow up, and she has no other extravagant wishes.

After kissing A Yuan enough, the Queen Mother was willing to give the child to the people around her.

Only then did Ming Feiqing ask: "Did grandma come to seek peace for Huai Jin?"

Empress Dowager Jing nodded, and took out a peace talisman wrapped with a red thread from her sleeve: "The peace talisman of Tianji Temple is very effective. He is the grandson of the Ai family after all. He went to the battlefield this time, with swords, lights and swords, and escaped death." , I have been mourning my family for many days, even though he hates me, I still hope that he can return safely and triumphantly."

Ming Feiqing pondered for a moment, and said: "I heard that the peace talisman of Tianji Temple is hard to find."

The maid next to the Empress Dowager couldn't help interjecting: "Your Majesty is absolutely right. You need to pray sincerely for three hours in front of the Buddha to get this peace talisman. The Empress Dowager came today before dawn..."

The empress dowager glanced at her, and the grand maid shut up, not daring to say more.

Ming Feiqing felt that the peace talisman looked familiar, so she took it over and looked at it carefully, and suddenly remembered that Huaijin had also given him the same peace talisman not long after they got married that day.

The queen mother wanted to carry Ah Yuan back to Shoukang Palace to eat delicious food, but Ming Feiqing didn't go back with them.

He went into Tianji Temple alone.

The old abbot had a gray beard, and when he saw Ming Feiqing coming, he bowed slightly: "See the queen."

Ming Feiqing avoided his ceremony, looked up at the Buddha statue with benevolent brows and kind eyes, worshiped reverently, and then asked the host: "Did Huaijin come here before when he was the crown prince?"

The old abbot said: "Since the death of Concubine Shu, Your Majesty has never believed in gods and Buddhas, and has almost never been to the temple..." He seemed to remember something, and said: "But the year before last, Your Majesty knocked on the temple door at night, saying that he I had a life-and-death dream.”

Ming Feiqing: "A dream of life and death? What exactly is it?"

The old abbot: "Please also forgive the crime of being disrespectful."

Ming Feiqing: "It's okay, the master just said it."

The old abbot then said: "Your Majesty said that day that he dreamed that the Empress fell from a high building and died in a pool of blood. This dream made him flustered and uneasy. With no solution, he actually visited Tianji Temple in the middle of the night and renewed his faith. Once a god and Buddha, he knelt devoutly from early morning to dawn, and obtained a peace talisman."

Ming Feiqing: "..."

The peace talisman was delivered to him early that morning.

He only thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had obtained a peace talisman with the pressure of his power, but he did not expect that it was actually piously begging for it.

Ming Feiqing returned to Xinwu Palace, and found the safe talisman from the corner of the desk.

He hadn't paid much attention to this talisman before, and even wanted to throw it away because it was given by Huai Ziyu.

Because he didn't pay much attention to it, he forgot where he threw it in a corner. Now that he found it again, Ming Feiqing didn't know what to do with the safety talisman.

At this time, Xichun led a group of little maids in with clothes in their hands.

"The clothes that His Majesty will bring when he goes out to war are prepared all year round. Would you like to see the Queen in person?"

Ming Feiqing has long since ignored these trivial matters, he himself does not want to worry about what Huaijin wears, eats, uses, and uses in every detail like in his previous life.

So this time is an expedition after all, Xichun thought that the queen would not be so hard-hearted, so she boldly showed Ming Feiqing the clothes.

Ming Feiqing was rubbing the safety talisman in his hand, and saw several thick inner garments under the clothes.

He pretended to cough twice, and said, "Put down your clothes, you guys get out."

Xichun was overjoyed, and asked people to follow suit.

After everyone in the house had dispersed, Ming Feiqing picked out a coat with fox fur on the collar from the winter clothes. He found a pair of scissors, cut a slit in the fur collar, and then deliberately called Xichun.

"Why is there a tear in this dress?"

Xichun was startled, and hurriedly blamed the people in the weaving bureau, and was also anxious to make amends.

Ming Feiqing held the clothes in his hands, said: "Forget it, don't blame others, you bring some needles and thread, I will sew."

Xichun: "???"

Ming Feiqing's needlework, ah no, that's not needlework, it's called random sewing with needles.

After he finished sewing, he called Xichun in.

Xichun got the clothes and took a look, the stitches on the collar were a mess, as if a ball of wire was sewn on it, the ball of wire covered the tear, but it seemed even uglier.

Xichun tactfully said: "Why don't the servants find an embroidery worker to make it even better?"

Ming Feiqing was quite confident: "I sewed it well, I don't need to add anything. Just give it to Huaijin like this. If he dares to think it's ugly, you can just throw the clothes away."

Xichun had no choice but to agree.

This underwear was sent to Huaijin alone.

When Huaijin saw the messy hemp, she was quite disgusted, but when Xichun said that it was the thread embroidered by the empress herself, Huai Ziyu immediately changed her expression of admiration, and boasted sincerely: "This embroiderer is really good. Refreshing."

Xichun: "......"

He hoped that winter would come soon so that he could wear the undercoat close to his body.

Before the army set off, there was a blessing ceremony as usual.

However, with the lesson of the previous emperor, the palace did not dare to set up too high a platform, and the blessing ceremony no longer pursued too complicated rituals, but only paid attention to sincerity.

The day before the army set off, Ming Feiqing went to the military camp, and he prayed for the hundred thousand soldiers who were about to go to the border.

The soldiers below were ready to go, with the blades of their guns facing upwards, they were the most solid shield for Xi Qin.

Ming Feiqing couldn't predict the success or failure of this battle. Although he was indifferent to the ups and downs of life and death, facing the group of vigorous young lives below, for the first time since his rebirth, he hoped that his Ziwei fate would play a role in the battle. Such a mysterious effect.

He sincerely prayed for all the warriors who defended their homes and the country, and hoped that they would be victorious and return in triumph.

All the soldiers looked up at Ming Feiqing on the jade platform, most of them saw this male empress for the first time.

The many speculations and suspicions about him were all dispelled at the moment of witnessing his devout prayer.

As General Song said, Empress Ming is a flesh-and-blood person with a compassionate heart that is rarely seen in the royal family. He is not a distant god, but like a god, he knows how to be merciful to the world.

At the moment when the blessing was completed, the sunlight entered the barracks and cared for every soldier.

Ming Feiqing's whole body was covered with a layer of gold by the sunlight, as if a god descended into the world.

Xi Qin's morale was greatly boosted.

After the blessing was over, Huai Ziyu stopped Ming Feiqing in the commander's tent, grabbed his hand and put it on his heart: "Did you take care of me when you prayed just now? I'm going to the battlefield too."

Ming Feiqing saw a fox fur collar protruding from his collar.

Huaijin followed his gaze to look at her clothes, raised her head and said, "I will wear the clothes you sewed for me by yourself every day."

Ming Feiqing: "It's up to you, you just want to be welded to yourself, I have no objection."

Huaijin laughed, and he asked stubbornly, "Did you include me when you prayed today?"

"No." Ming Feiqing said, "I'm afraid that God will blame other innocent soldiers if you are included."

Huaijin was not angry: "Will Qingqing give me a single congratulatory message?"

Ming Feiqing: "No."

Huaijin: "Even if it's just a sentence to return safely?"

Ming Feiqing: "I just hope that you never return."

Huaijin smiled wryly, but couldn't tell whether Ming Feiqing was speaking in anger or the truth, he didn't know what expression to use to respond to this... almost cursed blessing.

In the past six months, Ming Feiqing has always treated him like this, looking soft, but it always makes him feel bad.

On the day when the army went out to fight, all the officials of the imperial court and the people in the imperial city came out to see them off.

When leaving Qin Palace, Huaijin kept turning her head, hoping to see Ming Feiqing's figure, but there was nothing.

He rode out of the imperial city on a war horse, turned his head again and again, and looked up the tower, but still did not see Ming Feiqing.

Huaijin recalled that in his previous life, when he went to war, Ming Feiqing would escape from the gate of the East Palace even if he was under house arrest. Enduring the pain in his leg, he jumped up, tried to wave to him, and shouted from the air: "Ajin, I'll wait for you to come back!"

In her previous life, the Western Expedition was full of dangers, and Huai Ziyu gritted her teeth several times to escape from death, all because of Ming Feiqing's words "I'll wait for you to come back".

But now what he said is, I hope you will never return.

In his previous life, Ming Feiqing seldom made wishes, so he didn't know that the heavens were willing to favor Ziweixing, and most of the wishes he made would come true.
