Chapter 848: Expedition
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
MO Yuan was an obedient person. When Ji Luo asked her to drug her, she would definitely not mix any water. Therefore, when Xuanyuan Ce woke up, it had been a day and a night since they left the city. When he opened his eyes, he saw Xuanyuan Ziming standing at the side.
...Xuanyuan Ce was speechless.
Recalling what had happened before he fainted, he rubbed his forehead and struggled to sit up. He looked around and realized that he had returned to the residence.
“Uncle, you’re awake.” Xuanyuan Ziming looked at him sympathetically.
Xuanyuan Ce was puzzled. “What are you doing in my room?”
“Father was worried about you and asked me to keep an eye on you,” Xuanyuan Ziming said.
If not for him getting someone to look for Xuanyuan Ce, Xuanyuan Ce would have woken up in the house on West Radiance Street.
Worried about him? What was there to worry about as a man?
Xuanyuan Ce found it even stranger and asked, “How long have I been asleep?”
“The imperial physician said that you’ve been asleep for at least two days.”
“Two days?” Xuanyuan Ce was shocked. He quickly lifted the blanket and got out of bed. As soon as he went out, he met Chu Feng, who had just woken up and had yet to figure out the situation. He instructed, “Hurry up and prepare the horses.”
Xuanyuan Ziming followed him out. “Uncle, where are you going?”
“Today is the third day of Jiajia’s marriage. I’ll bring her back.”
She did not manage to leave the prince’s residence when she got married. She should have returned to the prince’s residence by now.
After saying that, he felt that it was inappropriate for him to go like this. He raised his voice and instructed someone to fetch water to take a shower.
Xuanyuan Ziming was silent for a moment. Although he could not bear to see them like this, he had no choice but to tell them that Shen Yijia and the others had already left Phoenix City early yesterday morning.
Xuanyuan Ce stopped in his tracks and looked back at him in disbelief. “They left?”
Xuanyuan Ziming nodded.
Xuanyuan Ce thought to himself, “I only slept for a while, but when I woke up, my wife and daughter are gone?”
Xuanyuan Ziming explained the situation. Seeing that Xuanyuan Ce seemed to have lost his soul, he asked worriedly, “Uncle, are you alright?”
Xuanyuan Ce waved his hand and walked out of the residence. At the same time, he shouted, “Chu Feng, where’s the horse?”
Xuanyuan Ziming chased after him and persuaded, “Uncle, Madam Ji and the others didn’t say which route they’re using to return to Great Xia. It’s too late for you to chase after them now.”
He finally understood why his father wanted him to watch over Xuanyuan Ce.
‘Who said I was going to chase after them?” Xuanyuan Ce said angrily.
“Then you…”
Xuanyuan Ce straightened his expression. “Isn’t the army setting off tomorrow? I’ll enter the palace to see your father.”
Xuanyuan Ziming paused. When he reacted, he asked uncertainly, “Uncle, don’t tell me you want to follow the army to war?
Coincidentally, Chu Feng led the horse out. Xuanyuan Ce snatched the horse and got on it. He glanced at him. “Can’t I?”
With that, he ignored Xuanyuan Ziming’s expression and left with a wave of his whip.
He had never done anything for Jiajia in her life. This time, he had to protect her.
“I don’t agree.” Hearing his intentions, Xuanyuan Qi refused without thinking. “I’ve already instructed Ye Hong to take back Lin’an City and head south as soon as possible. At that time, Great Xia’s predicament will naturally be resolved. You don’t have to worry about that girl.”
“Since you’re so confident, why don’t you let me go? I’m only responsible for supervising the army and won’t personally go to the battlefield, ” Xuanyuan Ce said stubbornly.

An unknown fire rose in Xuanyuan Qi’s heart. He looked up and met Xuanyuan Ce’s firm eyes. The fire was extinguished with a puff. He asked, “Are you going regardless of whether I agree or not?”
Xuanyuan Ce nodded without any fear. “Brother knows me best.” Xuanyuan Qi choked. “Then why are you asking me?
“After all, I’m going to the battlefield. I have to tell my brother.”
Xuanyuan Qi was furious at his tone. He threatened, “You can go, but if anything happens to you, see if I’ll still send troops to support Great Xia.”
“It’s because you owe Ah Luo and that brat a favor that you’ve decided to help Great Xia. What does it have to do with me?” After Xuanyuan Ce retorted, he realized that Xuanyuan Qi’s face had darkened even more. He promised repeatedly, “But don’t worry, Brother. Ah Luo hasn’t forgiven me. Jiajia hasn’t called me father yet. I won’t let anything happen to me.”
Xuanyuan Qi glanced at him. “Remember what you told me today.” This meant that he had agreed. There was nothing he could do if he didn’t agree.
“Thank you, Brother.” Xuanyuan Ce cupped his hands and asked tentatively, “As for Mother…
“Hmph, do you want me to help you tell Mother? Xuanyuan Ce, are you a three-year-old child?”
Xuanyuan Ce was speechless.
“I’m going to the Longevity Palace to see Mother,” he said.
Xuanyuan Qi waved his hand. “Get lost quickly.”
Eunuch Wu handed over a cup of tea at the right time and advised, “Your
Majesty, don’t worry too much. General Ye brought 300,000 troops this time. Coupled with the garrison of Fenghe County, His Highness will be fine.”
Xuanyuan Qi’s eyes darkened. “This battle won’t be as easy as you think.”
He and that kid surnamed Song guessed that since the Wu Kingdom dared to attack both countries at the same time, apart from black gunpowder, the Wu Kingdom definitely had a trump card that they did not know about.
In the Longevity Palace, Empress Dowager Zhou was abnormally calm when she found out that Xuanyuan Ce was going to follow the army. She was so calm that Xuanyuan Ce panicked.
“Mother, 1…
Empress Dowager Zhou looked at Eunuch Yu. “Go and bring the things to His
Highness.”
Xuanyuan Ce was stunned until Chu Feng took the bag from Eunuch Yu. It still felt a little unreal.
Empress Dowager Zhou continued, “I got someone to make a few sets of clothes for you and prepared some emergency medicine. As for food, you definitely have to eat your meals with everyone. I didn’t get anyone to prepare
it.”
“Mother.”
Empress Dowager Zhou smiled sadly. “In the past, every time your father went on an expedition, I would prepare these for him. He would always return safely, so you have to return intact. As his son, you can’t die before an old woman like me. ”
Xuanyuan Ce’s throat hurt. “Mother will definitely live to a hundred years old.”
“How many people in this world can live for a hundred years? You don’t have to say such nice words to coax me. Just don’t let me send my son off.”
Seeing that the atmosphere was getting worse, Eunuch Yu quickly tried to smooth things over. “Aiyo, Empress Dowager, you can’t say such unlucky words. Our lord is blessed by the heavens. He will definitely return triumphantly with the army.”
Empress Dowager Zhou wiped the corners of her eyes. “Eunuch Yu is right. I’m old and like to spout nonsense.” She looked at Xuanyuan Ce. “Don’t kneel anymore. Go back and rest for a day. You don’t have to enter the palace tomorrow.”
Xuanyuan Ce kowtowed three times. “Mother, take care of yourself.” After watching Xuanyuan Ce leave, Empress Dowager Zhou sighed.
“Since the empress dowager is worried, why didn’t you stop His Highness? Eunuch Yu asked.
“Back then, the emperor and I forced him to make a choice. He was separated from his wife and daughter for more than ten years and lived in regret every day. This time, I can’t stop him, and I shouldn’t stop him.”
The imperial edict to appoint Xuanyuan Ce as the supervisor of the army was issued on the same day. Early the next morning, the emperor led the civil and military officials to bid farewell to the soldiers of the three armies.
When Xuanyuan Ce led the army out of the city, Shen Yijia and the others had already left Yanyang..
