Zi Yuan first fed some water to Helian Xuanji and then ate a candied fruit for himself. She glanced outside the window. It was not yet very late in the night. She turned her head to look at the palace maid. "What is the current situation outside?"

"In reply to the Empress, everything outside is quiet." The palace maid lightly said, afraid that she would disturb Helian Profound Wings' rest.

When the Violet Garden heard from the palace maid that the outside was quiet, she felt that the calmer it was, the greater the tranquility, something big would definitely happen!

"Where is General Ye?"

"Rest outside the hall." The palace maid continued to whisper.

When Zi Yuan heard that Lan Cang was resting outside the hall, she lifted the curtain and walked out of the inner hall. She saw that Lan Cang was really resting outside the hall, so she quietly walked over and woke him up even though her steps were light.

"This general pays his respects to the Empress." Lan Cang stood up and bowed to Violet Garden.

Zi Yuan did not need to be overly courteous. "Why aren't you going back to rest?"

"This lowly general was worried about the safety of the Emperor, so I stayed outside the hall to rest."

Zi Yuan nodded. She knew that Lan Cang was related to Helian Profound Wings like brothers. When Helian Profound Wings was in danger, Lan Cang would not abandon him. Today, she saw it on the battlefield.

"Lan Cang, I have something that I wish to discuss with you." Zi Yuan lowered his voice to speak to Lan Cang. Lan Cang raised his eyes to look at Zi Yuan. Seeing the light in her eyes, he knew that she had something important to discuss with him.

"Empress, please speak freely. If there is anything I need to do, I will do so. Please do not hesitate to instruct me!" Lan Cang cupped his hands together and said with a deep voice.

Zi Yuan thought for a moment. He had no way of figuring out the strength of the countries of Western Paradise and Dongping. Right now, Helian Xuanyin is also severely injured, and the Emperor himself has been severely injured. His morale is definitely not as steady as it was in the past.

"Xi Li and Dongping have joined forces to invade our country. I have thought of a countermeasure. General Ye, listen carefully and see if there's anything wrong with it." He didn't know if the Purple Garden's response was good or bad, but he didn't have a better way!

Lan Cang nodded as he listened to Zi Yuan's words. Zi Yuan raised his sleeves and walked to the door of his bedroom. She raised her head to look at the world that had been swept by the flames of war.

"I feel that we should lure the enemy into our depths by one person. We should confuse them and cause them to lose their wariness so that we can plan our next move!" The Violet Garden had thought of many different methods, but only this should be feasible.

Lan Cang pondered for a moment. Although this method was effective, it was still too dangerous! No matter who was sent to lure the enemy, that person's fate would definitely not be good! What's more, there was no one that he could trust to lure his enemies with?

Zi Yuan turned his head to look at Lan Cang. Seeing his furrowed brows, she seemed to notice something. "General Ye, are you worried about who you should send to lure the enemy?"

She was indeed extremely smart. He didn't say a single word, but she was actually able to see through everything that was going on inside his heart. Lan Cang lowered his head and said in a low voice, "The Empress' strategy is indeed good, but the person who lures the enemy is a difficult matter."

"I've already decided who I will use to lure the enemy to. I don't need to worry about the selection at all." The voice of the Violet Garden was cold, reflecting the loneliness within the hall.

"Does the Empress want to tempt the enemy herself?" Lan Cang's tone was uncertain.

Purple Garden nodded. "Yes, I'll go lure the enemy myself!"

"You can't!" Without even thinking about it, Lan Cang rejected it harshly.

Zi Yuan seemed to have already known about Lan Cang's reaction. She replied with a smile, "Why not? Does the general think of a better choice than this one? "

Lan Cang was rendered speechless by Zi Yuan's question. He didn't think of a suitable candidate, but he couldn't agree to let Zi Yuan take the risk either!

"This general did not think of a suitable candidate, but this general has promised His Majesty that he will definitely protect the Empress in full strength. Thus, the Empress absolutely will not be put at risk!" If the Empress insists on going, why don't you ask this general to go! "

"Then, do you think that Murong Xiu and Feng Lingxue trust me more?" Or trust you more? " Right now, it was not about who would be more dangerous, but who would be able to convince the enemy that if they sent anyone, they would only be sending themselves to their deaths.

"Empress, it would be more appropriate if you were to head there."

"Then that's it. Actually, I have other things that I need you to do. " The Violet Garden had long anticipated that Lan Cang would stop her, but he was still unable to completely persuade her.

"Empress, please speak."

Zi Yuan felt that this next step was the most crucial one compared to the danger he was facing, which was to lure the enemy deeper in! If this step failed, they would lose it all!

"After I succeed in luring the enemy, I need you to lead the troops and horses to ambush them on the way to Dongping Kingdom. Kill them without any warning!" Once Zi Yuan thought of the successful strategy, they would be able to defeat Xi Li and Dong Ping in one fell swoop!

"This general will listen to the Empress's arrangements!"

Zi Yuan raised an eyebrow and asked Lan Cang, "Then will you still stop me?"

When Lan Cang heard this, he still wanted to stop Zi Yuan. "Empress, if the Emperor knew, he wouldn't agree …"

"The emperor even more so, doesn't want the Northern State of Yue to perish under his own hands …" After Zi Yuan finished speaking, he turned around and entered the inner hall.

Lan Cang stood alone on the stone slab outside the hall. He thought back to the scene of Zi Yuan fighting on the battlefield today. The domineering aura she exuded did not belong to a man at all.

When Zi Yuan returned to the inner hall, he discovered that Helian Xuanyin was awake. She was a little worried that he might have overheard her conversation with Lan Cang earlier.

She sat down on the edge of his bed and gently placed her hand on his forehead. She tested the temperature of his forehead and said, "It doesn't seem to be burning anymore."

Helian Xuanyi's face was as pale as paper, and the smile on the corners of his mouth was extremely soul-biting. "Zi Yuan, it's my bad. I've made you worry."

"Why don't you let me fight against the enemy with you? Let me stand alone on this tower and watch you fight with the enemy? "Do you know that I'm afraid to see you like this today …" Zi Yuan actually didn't dare to say the following words.

Helian Xuan Yi's heart was broken by what Zi Yuan said. He did not want her to be harmed, so he did it. Instead, it made her even more heartbroken.

Helian Xuanyin sat up from the bed and wrapped her arms around his chest. Zi Yuan was afraid of touching the wounds on his body, so he didn't dare to move recklessly. He could only place his face lightly against his firm chest.

His heart beat non-stop, pounding against her heart time and time again. How great, he was still alive …

"But you shouldn't have gone to the battlefield alone without me. Have you forgotten that you still have our child in your stomach?" Helian Xuan Yi will never forget the way he saw her from the city gate tower wearing a military uniform, wielding a silver spear in her hand! The way he looked at her was very complicated. There was anger, surprise, and more of being moved …

Zi Yuan closed his eyes as warm tears fell on his chest. He held her face in his hands as he gazed at it. A few lines of clear tears fell from Qingcheng's face, and his kiss gently fell on the corner of her eyes. His kiss had finished all the tears on her face, and finally landed on her soft lips.

Her lips were as soft as the petals of a newborn flower, fragrant and intoxicating. The way he kissed her was extremely gentle, causing Zi Yuan to temporarily forget about the serious situation they were in and immerse herself in the warmth and gentleness with him …

"The imperial physician said that you need to apply medicine to your wounds at night. Stay here and don't move, I'll apply medicine for you." After her lips parted, Zi Yuan thought of what Imperial Physician Zhong had told her.

Helian Xuanyin nodded her head and leaned back against the pillow. Zi Yuan took out a jade white porcelain bottle. This was the medicine that Imperial Physician Zhong had given him. She undid the bandages on Helian Xuanyin's body. She saw the spear wounds on his body, and the blood-red flesh was revealed to the outside. Fortunately, the wounds were not deep, otherwise, one would definitely see the bones.

Zi Yuan lightly rubbed the medicine on Helian Xuan Yi's wound. She saw Helian Xuan Yi frown. "Is it very painful?"

Helian Xuan Yi smiled. "Why would it hurt if you helped me apply the medicine?"

Zi Yuan forced a smile. "You're still in the mood to joke even now that you're injured like this."

No matter how severe his injuries were, as long as he had her by his side, he wouldn't feel any pain!

"When I was unconscious, were you the one who fed me the medicine in my mouth?" Helian Xuan Yi remembered that in his dreams, his lips had a very gentle feeling, that kind of feeling was better than anything in the world!

Violet Garden blushed. "Yeah, that medicine is very bitter. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have fed it to you. Drinking it to the point that my mouth still feels very bitter!"

"Then let me try and see if it's still very bitter." He sealed Zi Yuan's lips with his lips, stuck his tongue in, and entwined it with hers. Zi Yuan felt that his kiss was much more domineering than before. She raised her head to receive his kiss.

After Helian Xuan Yi had eaten his fill, he licked the corner of his mouth with the tip of his tongue. "The current taste is extremely sweet, it's not as bitter as you said just now."

Violet Garden was rendered speechless. "Rest early. I'm going to bed too." She tucked him in and walked out of the inner palace hall of the Helian Profound Wings with relief.

When Zi Yuan walked out of the inner hall, he saw that Lan Cang was still in the outer hall. She knew that he wouldn't go back to rest if he didn't see Helian Xuan Yi safely awake, so she decided to first go back and rest.

Just as Zi Yuan stepped out of the main hall, Lan Cang called out to her. Zi Yuan turned around and glanced at him. "What's the matter, General, for you to stop me?"

"Tomorrow, I will cooperate with your plans!" It was a simple sentence, but he thought about it for a very long time.

Zi Yuan nodded. "With the help of the general, my plan will definitely succeed!" After she finished speaking, she walked out of the Profound Wings' palace.

When Zi Yuan returned to his own bedroom, he laid on his bed with his clothes tucked under him. She had never been able to sleep soundly. There were too many worrying matters, so she was unable to calm down.

How would she lure Feng Lingxue and Murong Xiu tomorrow? The two of them weren't simple characters. If they used too simple of a method, they would definitely see through it. They had to think of a thorough method that would be difficult for them to see through!

Feng Lingxue was very competitive; this was a weakness, she had to grasp at it! After thinking for a moment, she closed her eyes and fell asleep …

The next morning, Zi Yuan changed out of his palace uniform and put on the silver armor. When she walked out of her bedroom, she saw Lan Cang standing outside. When Lan Cang saw the Violet Garden, his eyes were filled with amazement! There were always beauties like that, and it was always appropriate for her to put on thick makeup. Even after changing out of her female attire, she was still a domineering girl.

"Has the emperor woken up?" Zi Yuan was still thinking about the Helian Profound Wings before his departure.

"The emperor hasn't woken up yet. According to the imperial physician, the emperor fell unconscious again. Does the empress want to see the emperor?" Lan Cang felt that Helian Xuan's wings were seriously injured this time.

When Zi Yuan heard that Helian Profound Wings had fallen unconscious again, her entire heart rose again. She nodded, wanting to see Helian Profound Wings before she left. Violet Garden was dressed in heavy armor as they walked step by step towards the Profound Wings' palace. Lan Cang and his soldiers followed behind Violet Garden.

When they arrived at the palace, Zi Yuan had no intention of going in. He only stood at the window outside the palace and looked at the unconscious Helian Xuan Yi lying on the bed. The imperial physician was currently treating him. She felt a dull ache in her heart. She wanted to forgive her for selfishness in abandoning him to take the risk.

Xuan Yi, I will protect the Northern Yue Country's territory with my life!

Zi Yuan made a promise in his heart. After seeing Helian Xuan Wings, he steeled his heart and led the group out of the city gate!

"Empress, are you sure you don't want me to follow you?" According to the plan, Lan Cang was to stay in the city to protect the Helian Profound Wings! However, this trip was too dangerous. He didn't have the heart to let the Violet Garden go alone!
