The Xiaowan didn't know what to do, but the Queen smiled and invited her to come closer so she could sit with her.

"Esteemed Empress, I can't sit with you …"

"Don't be afraid, this isn't a palace." Siyan said, and took the initiative to hold Xiaowan's hand.

Both of their hands intersected, both were warm and soft, Siyan's heart trembled, Xiaowan was the same.

A strange feeling seemed to burrow into his heart, the fear he had towards the Queen disappeared like smoke in thin air. Although she still respected and respected him, the person in front of her suddenly became extremely friendly.

"Empress, I did not guess wrong. You are so beautiful." The Xiaowan dared to speak out, and happily said, "Since General Wei is so handsome and mighty, I have always thought that the Empress must be a celestial being."

Siyan laughed and asked: "Are you very familiar with my brother?"

Xiaowan said: "They are very familiar, I know what the general likes to eat. These days, whenever we are together, I cook for the general."

Siyan looked at Xiaowan carefully. Although her thoughts were selfish, and she wished for a considerate girl to become her sister-in-law to be able to take care of her brother for a lifetime, but her brother getting married was definitely a woman he loved. How could he marry someone just for a bite of rice?

"Xiaowan, during those days in the mountain, how did my brother treat Bi Hanxi?" Siyan went straight to the point, "Can you tell me what you saw?"

Speaking of which, when Xiaowan was in the mountains, she was always busy and did not pay any attention to any changes that General Wei had to Hanxi. Instead, her initial fierce attitude had left a deep impression on him. When she realized it, her husband was still laughing at her. Why did she only realize it now?

This was why the Xiaowan could remember that when she said she was in the mountains, it was just to take care of her. It was not strange for her to not feel warm at all.

The empress shook her head and smiled wryly. "Looks like I've thought too much into this. It was originally my brother who only had weapons in his eyes. How could he have women?"

The Xiaowan understood the Empress's meaning and hurriedly said, "But when the imperial edict was sent over, knowing that Hanxi was going to marry the Blue Eyes Prince, the general felt really upset. She hadn't been happy for the past few days."

Siyan became excited, grabbed Xiaowan's hand and asked: "It's true, he's very sad, did he say anything?"

Xiaowan replied, "I didn't say anything special. After that, I've been waiting for the Emperor and you to come together, waiting for the arrival of Xiluo's boat."

The more they talked, the more they speculated about it. Xiaowan had been taking care of Wei Tengfei's daily life these past few days, so she was more clear about the general's situation. The Empress asked a lot of questions, and in the end, discussed how she should let them meet again.

On the other side, Hanxi had changed into light clothes and returned. She saw Xiaowan and the Empress sitting side by side, talking and laughing as if they were sisters. Although she felt it was new, but for a person as good as the Xiaowan, everyone would like her.

On the sea, the storm gradually stopped. Little Pei blew away the dark clouds and finally stopped.

He was so exhausted from this torture that he wanted to fly home and eat the meatballs his grandfather made. Knowing that his parents were fine, he left without a care in the world.

The clouds dispersed, and the blue sea shone with a dazzling light, as though nothing had happened. However, the Xiluo Battleship had suffered heavy injuries, and Prince Haas, who was standing on the shore, had a complicated feeling in his heart.

The emperor agreed with Wei Tengfei's decision. He sent ten large ships to welcome him, but on the surface, he was assisting them, but in reality, he was trying to probe the enemy's background.

This trip of Xiluo was extremely aggressive, who would have thought, when they were about to face Daqi directly, they would encounter a rare storm, causing dozens of ships to be damaged, and their cannons had sunk into the ocean, losing all their fighting capabilities.

Due to the fact that many of the warships had sunk to the bottom of the sea, the number of people on the other damaged ships were limited. These people could only hold onto the floating trees to protect their lives, and the Daqi soldiers could only rescue them up while guiding the warships with damaged Xiluo to shore.

Although the two ships were heavily injured, they still carried a threatening aura. Xiang Run noted this scene and silently calculated in his heart how long it would take for his Daqi to establish such a strong defense against the sea.

The young Emperor was very clear-headed. He understood that he would not be so lucky the next time.

The Xiluo people who had lost all fighting strength were completely controlled by Wei Tengfei's men the moment they landed on the shore. It was, after all, a Chuanyu’s Army that was extremely valiant and mighty in battle, and just by standing in front of others, they could already guess what was going on, how could they dare to act rashly?

The emperor was benevolent and sent the army doctor, the imperial physician, to treat the people from Xiluo, but because he could not put his words into words, Prince Haas and his subordinates could only go over and help. Of course he saw it, the general who brought his troops this time had brought him in front of the emperor of the Daqi.

Inside the camp, when they heard that the Daqi had controlled the Xiluo army without spending a single soldier, the crowd cheered. The empress knew that with his brother here, she and the emperor could sleep peacefully. But now, Prince Haas was going to leave sooner or later. Whether or not he could take Hanxi away, all depended on his brother.

The emperor only returned to the camp late at night. Although he was tired, he was exceptionally excited as he hugged Siyan and spoke about the many expectations he had for the defense of the ocean.

Initially, Siyan wanted to tell the Emperor about his brother, but seeing him so excited, she decided to leave her private matters for now. Most likely, his brother was also thinking about how to drive out the people from the Xiluo now.

The morning of the second day, Wei Tengfei brought people to the camp to bring the emperor to the beach, and when he crossed his blade and stood outside the tent, he saw six or seven Palace Maid s gathered with Bi Hanxi coming out from the tent. Hanxi wore the complicated county lord's attire, and walked forward with difficulty.

As he looked up and met eyes with Wei Tengfei, Hanxi remembered that this man had promised to send her to the Siping Mansion.

She still loved to cry too much. A girl who cried too much would not be likeable.

Hanxi quickly held back her tears and smiled at Wei Tengfei. She wanted to thank him for taking care of her all those days and thank him too, to protect the coast of Daqi.

But this smile made the man's heart ache, and he stiffly averted his gaze.

Seeing Wei Tengfei turning away, Hanxi's heart was empty, the unspeakable pain, as though there was something in the past. However, she did not dare to let her imagination run wild. There were many things she had to do today, and it was said that a great general who wished to meet Xiluo had appeared to be some sort of duke.

Wei Tengfei was flocked by the Palace Maid. With Prince Haas bringing along people from the Xiluo, no matter what, there shouldn't be a place for Ling Chaofeng and the Xiaowan. It would be even more difficult to use her in cooking and washing dishes.

Ling Chaofeng brought Xiaowan to arrange the rations and look at the topography of the coast. Xiaowan followed their husband and ate a lot of local delicacies along the way.

The large coconut broke open and directly drank it. The subtle taste, however, was especially suitable for the climate here. There was also the sweet and soft coconut rice, the incredibly delicious rice flour soup, the prawns that were even bigger than Xiaowan's head, and the abalone that was even bigger than a fist. Xiaowan ate as she chanted, "Husband, can we bring Little Pei along in the future?"

Ling Chaofeng advised her: "Eat slower, don't choke on it."

They enjoyed themselves to their heart's content, but what happened on the side of the Emperor was incomparably dull. However, Hanxi's body had not fully recovered yet, so the bumpy journey had made her tired. Now that she was wearing heavy jewelry and clothes, sitting in her seats, she was starting to run out of energy.

At sunset, Xiaowan and Hubby returned. was escorted by the Palace Maid and was almost carried back.

She ran over and asked: "What's wrong with Hanxi?"

The Palace Maid s said, "The County Lord is out of stamina, the Empress ordered us to send her back first."

Xiaowan was extremely anxious, she followed along to take care of Hanxi, and the person who took off her jewelry and luxurious clothing took a deep breath. Xiaowan checked her back, and as expected, she still had not recovered.

How could a person like that get on the ship or go out to sea? A strong and robust man like General Wei would definitely not be able to withstand the raging waves of the ocean, I am afraid Hanxi would die before she even reach the Xiluo. Then, would the people from Xiluo bring her to the Xiluo's grave, or would they send her back to the Daqi, or perhaps … She threw it into the sea.

Hanxi passed out very quickly as she stood guard at the side until nightfall.

At this moment, the empress was still by the sea, chatting and drinking with the people from Xiluo. The tent was exceptionally quiet.

When Xiaowan thought of her master, and saw that Hanxi had slept soundly, she wanted to go out and look for Ling Chaofeng. However, she didn't expect that such a powerful and imposing figure would barge in head-on, causing him to almost fall down.

However, Wei Tengfei quickly let go of his hand and said softly: "Xiaowan, it's me."

Xiaowan was surprised: "General Wei?"

Wei Tengfei's eyes drooped as he said solemnly, "I want to … Look at Hanxi, Xiaowan, can you help me stand guard outside? "
