Chapter 268: Your Business is My Business

htly, and he smiled indulgently at her, "Well, not disgraced, very impressive. Ying'er is no longer the silly princess she used to be."Even though he was surprised by her beauty just a moment ago, now...Rong Yue's face changed, and she hurriedly dissuaded him: "Your Majesty, no, absolutely not! The offensive from Beiling and Ximing this time is too fierce. I'm worried..."

"Need I say more As the Emperor of Dongyue, I must advance and retreat with Dongyue. How can I idly hide in the back My decision is firm; you need not speak further." Su Ziyi waved his hand to cut him off.

"No! I disagree!" Zhao Tianyu walked down from the bed, snatched his Qingfeng sword, and said with a stern expression, leaving no room for argument.

Su Ziyì was truly angered now, his eyes narrowed to slits, cold as ice. "What are you trying to do again The border is in urgent need right now, I have no time for you, please stop making a fuss."

"You are the King of Dongyue, what will happen if something happens to you What about the people of Dongyue, from top to bottom" Facing his cold and sharp eyes without fear, Zhao Tianyu stood firm, his aura unwavering. He firmly removed the armor from his body and directly put it on himself.

His eyes, deep as ink, reflected his image. In the depths of those profound pupils, a tender affection swirled and spread unabashedly. "I will personally lead the army in your stead," he declared.

Upon hearing this, Su Ziyue immediately refused without hesitation. A surge of anger welled up within him, and he couldn't explain why. He just felt a suffocating pain in his chest. "You No way! You still have injuries, you should be staying in the military camp to recuperate properly instead of running around like this! I forbid it!"

"Why not As the Emperor of Nanjiang, it's only natural for me to be here on the battlefield." Zhao Tianyu raised his eyebrows and patted his chest confidently. "Rest assured, my injuries are nothing serious, I won't die easily. Before I marry you, there's no way I would die so readily."

"...cough cough..." Rong Yue lightly coughed twice, covering her mouth with her sleeve without a trace. Then she looked at her nose, and her nose at her heart, trying hard to lower her sense of presence.

Uh, did he hear some secret he shouldn't have

Shouldn't this be censored

Suddenly, I felt like my existence was superfluous.

"What nonsense are you spouting again I said no, and that means no! This is a matter of Dongyue, you don't need to get involved." Ignoring his jesting remarks, Su Ziyi frowned tightly. He wouldn't let him take his place on the battlefield under any circumstances, especially since he still had injuries. If anything happened...

The thought of him possibly dying in battle pierced his heart like thousands of needles, the pain so intense he could hardly breathe.

"To me, your matters are my matters, the affairs of Dongyue are the affairs of Nanjiang." He directly struck his acupuncture points, Zhao Tianyu held his face and deeply kissed him, then turned to walk out of the tent, "That's decided, let's go."

After being struck at his pressure points, Su Ziyi was unable to move or speak. He could only watch helplessly as he walked away step by step, his heart filled with anxiety and despair.

Rong Yue was about to quietly follow Zhao Tianyu, but he suddenly turned back and said to him seriously, "Oh, by the way, there's something I almost forgot."

"What's the matter" Seeing his solemn expression, Rong Yue's face couldn't help but show a hint of seriousness, as if facing a great enemy.

Looking at Su Ziyi who was unable to move, Zhao Tianyu reminded Rong Yue seriously, "Rong Yue, your emperor hasn't had breakfast this morning, remember to have someone bring his meal over later and let him eat it. Not eating breakfast often can lead to stomach problems, keep an eye on him until he finishes."

"Inside, Su Ziyi was in a very complicated state of mind."

... Rong Yue didn't know what expression to make.

"Did you hear me Remember to keep an eye on him until he finishes his breakfast!" Seeing that YUE didn't respond for a long time, Tianyu frowned impatiently and said another sentence.

The machine nodded. Rong Yue said wordlessly, "Yue has taken note of the Southern Border King's instructions."

"Well, I'm leaving then." Now he could leave with peace of mind.

Two flowers bloom, each representing a different branch.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Worried about the Eastern Mountain war, Su Qingying quickly finished her breakfast and then clung to Jun Liye's arm, anxiously saying, "A-Li, where are those skilled craftsmen you helped me find"

"Looking at you so flustered, I've never seen you this eager about anything I've done before." Jun Liye chuckled, picking up a handkerchief and carefully wiping the rice grain from the corner of her mouth. His heart felt a twinge of something sour all of a sudden.

Su Qingying's temples were throbbing, she rolled her eyes and hugged his arm, pouting silently: "I'm dizzy, what kind of vinegar are you eating again My emperor brother was teamed up by Shangguan Jianren and Xuen Yuan Locheng, those dog emperors, to take down three cities! How could I not be anxious"

This vinegar sea, he really impressed me!

Wasn't he anxious and agitated because he couldn't see her He even had the time to be jealous! Could he have been a vinegar jar in his past life

"Rest assured, I always keep my promises. Have you ever seen me break a word" Seeing her eagerness, Jun Liye stopped teasing her and took her hand, leading her towards the courtyard. "Come with me."

Because the Regent's Manor had been turned upside down by Shangguan Jianren, they collectively moved to Jun Liye's manor yesterday evening.

It is said to be the residence of Zhuangzi, but inside it is elegantly laid out with pavilions, platforms, waterside buildings, artificial hills and flowing water—everything imaginable, rivaling the original Prince Regent's Mansion.

Following Jun Liye through the long corridor and several round archways, they arrived at a courtyard where twenty or so men in plain clothes stood neatly awaiting their arrival.

From afar, Lord Jun Li walked towards them, hand in hand with Su Qingying. Before the burly men could even admire Su Qingying's breathtaking beauty, they all knelt down and bowed deeply to the couple. "Commoners greet Your Highness, the Regent Princess!"

"Wow! Alin, you're really efficient!" Su Qingying's little face was flushed with excitement. She didn't pretend to be coy and readily accepted the title of Regent Princess bestowed upon her.

"Ahem, come on up, all of you, there's no need to be so polite." Releasing his hand, Su Qingying walked towards them with her hands behind her back. A smile bloomed on her stunningly beautiful face, her eyebrows curved upwards, unable to hide the sparkle in her eyes. Her voice unconsciously carried a hint of majesty and sharpness, "This time I invited you all here because I want you to build the blueprints I designed. I heard that you are all famous craftsmen from Beiling. If you can't even handle this little thing of mine, then go back and smash your own signs yourselves. Don't even call yourselves Beiling Divine Craftsmen anymore."

This statement is very direct and blunt, without any tact or consideration for how others might feel or react.

As expected, the face of an elderly man darkened upon hearing this. He had over forty years of experience as a craftsman, and his skills were renowned in Beiling. Now, he was being questioned by a young girl who clearly didn't understand anything about the craft. How could he possibly swallow this insult

Thinking about this, the old man immediately stood up and said disdainfully, "Although I am not some kind of divine craftsman, I believe my own craftsmanship is still decent. I wonder what kind of thing the Princess wants us to create. Please tell me more."

He just didn't believe that a young girl who didn't know anything could possibly be so capable!tment, pointing at Su Qingying as he stomped his foot and said, “Look, look! She’s so arrogant! Even before she’s married, she acts like this. What will happen once she is”"This king is willing." The...
