The late-night camp was faintly filled with the sound of opera, the actors' small voices long and melodious, scratching at the itch in people's hearts. Han Mao's spacious military tent revealed a few slivers of light, the entrance tightly closed, unable to see the scene inside, making people more imaginative. In the darkness of the night, He Yuncheng had been standing outside his tent for a long time. He came to find Han Mao tonight to discuss the matter of grain and fodder. When he arrived, Han Mao…-

Chapter 67: Don't leave tonight, okay...? Lin Shuangxu's character was something He Yuncheng knew all too well; he wouldn't be swayed by Han Mao's clumsy tricks. He was angry with himself. Watching his beloved being bothered by someone else, yet having to consider the so-called big picture, he could only swallow his anger and do nothing. How pathetic. Of course, Lin Shuangxu understood his mood. The He family had been suppressed by the court for so many years. On the battlefield, they had endured…

Chapter 66: Fed it to the Dogs Han Mao's attempt to sow discord was too obvious, and Lin Shuangxu, besides being annoyed, found it extremely laughable. However, having just cautioned He Yuncheng not to break ties with him, he naturally wouldn't start a feud himself. He allowed him to say whatever he wanted, at will. "I'll take that as General Han praising me. The rumors are too boring, so I won't offer many explanations. Farewell." He was gentle but with barbs, seeing Han Mao off with a final remark,…

The day of departure remained unchanged. Five days later, 20,000 soldiers from the Han family army and 50,000 from the He family army gathered and set off from Fengdu, heading north in a mighty force towards the border. Han Mao, under orders to supervise the army, rode ahead, radiating arrogance from head to toe, convinced of his status as commander. He Yuncheng and Lin Shuangxu followed behind him, not vying for the limelight, appearing to be his subordinates. The He family army found him increasingly…

Chapter 64: I'll Go With You Li Yuliang lay motionless on the ground, blood seeping continuously from his back. He seemed unable to hear Gu Huan's words, offering not a single response. Only the silent tears sliding from the corners of his eyes indicated that he was still alive. He didn't feel the pain. Such punishments, since his youth, he had endured countless times, and he had long lost count. The Directorate of Ceremonial Affairs was not a place for the living. Newly arrived eunuchs in the palace…

Chapter 63: Does this place like me? He staggered to his feet, not saying he would take He Yuncheng anywhere. But no matter where he went, He Yuncheng would only follow him; there was no other possibility. So, in front of everyone, once again, he took He Yuncheng away, without a word of explanation. This time, he didn't return to the military tent. He pulled He Yuncheng from the lighted area to the dark, left the military camp, and walked very far, until they reached the desolate woods. The moon hung…

Chapter 62: Come with Me Chapter 62: Come with Me Outside the city, the stars and moon shone brightly, boundless and free. At this late hour, the military camp was bustling with activity. He Yuncheng sat at the head table, leading his soldiers in drinking the oath-taking wine. Everyone was in high spirits, full of fighting spirit for the fierce battle ahead. The Ministry of War was deliberately making things difficult, and the Emperor was indifferent, so they couldn't count on anyone. So what if…

Chapter 61: Selfish Desires He Yuncheng speaking such words was enough to show that he had been suppressed to the extreme. Li Yuliang daring to act against them in the palace, the Empress Dowager dying unclearly, the Ministry of War holding back military provisions tightly, completely disregarding the war situation... Yet to all these events, the Emperor hadn't uttered a single word, hiding in the shadows, unseen. Although He Yuncheng held military power, in reality, he was now isolated and without…

Chapter 60: You Are Still You Chapter 60: You Are Still You The wind and snow swallowed everything, Song Jiting's face was half covered with dried blood, dragging his tattered body, step by step, moving forward with difficulty. The night had not yet faded, and he didn't know how long he had walked before he walked out of the man-eating Imperial Palace. But he didn't know where he should go. He felt he was already dead. He died the day Li Yuliang drew a prison on the ground and trapped him. From that…

Chapter 6 I am Lin Shuangxu's lapdog That night, Lin Shuangxu's dreams were fragmented, waking up every so often, not getting a solid sleep all night. Meanwhile, He Yuncheng held him as if he were a rare treasure, not letting go for a moment even in his sleep. The snow outside continued until dawn, a thick layer covering the entire courtyard. With such a tender and fragrant person in his arms, he slept comfortably, waking up to the sound of servants coming in to add fuel to the brazier. The spot…
