Chapter 284: Beautiful Killer VS Undefeated War God Prince 27
After Xuanyuan Cheng left Mingxi Courtyard, he fell into deep confusion.

On the one hand, Yu Yao's identity as a killer from the Western Regions made him feel uneasy.

On the other hand, he was deeply moved by her life-threatening protection and selfless love.

He didn't know what to do or how to deal with it, so he just kept himself busy and stopped thinking about it.

Xuanyuan Cheng hasn't come to Mingxi Courtyard for a few days, but Yu Yao doesn't think it's a big deal and just lets it go as it should.

Because of her life-saving grace and the child in her belly, Xuanyuan Cheng would not kill her.

As for the relationship between the two people, it’s hard to say.

If Xuanyuan Cheng could have no grudges and pretend that nothing had happened, then she would stay in the palace and live a good life.

If he couldn't get over it in his heart and was really bothered, then after giving birth to the baby, she would leave the palace and find a place to live in seclusion.

Anyway, her mission is just to give birth to a child for Xuanyuan Cheng. As long as the child is born, her mission will be completed.

Thinking of this, she relaxed a lot and was no longer worried.

Every day I stayed quietly in Mingxi Hospital to recuperate and take care of my pregnancy.

Seeing that the prince suddenly did not come to Mingxi Courtyard, Xiangling and Xiangju were extremely anxious.

He wanted to say something, but seeing that his master was injured and pregnant and needed recuperation, he could only swallow his words silently.

Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room.

The scent of sandalwood was lingering, but it could not calm the anger in Xuanyuan Zan's heart.

He was shocked to hear that the villain who assassinated the King of Qin was actually a killer from the Western Region Royal Court, who disguised himself as a merchant caravan to infiltrate the State of Jing with the purpose of assassinating the King of Qin. He was immediately furious.

His eyes widened, and the memorials on the imperial desk fell to the ground with a clatter. He roared, "How dare the Western Regions Royal Court be so presumptuous? It's simply lawless!"

"Your Majesty, calm down."

The palace maids and eunuchs serving in the imperial study were trembling with fear. They knelt on the ground with their heads hung low, not daring to breathe.

Xuanyuan Cheng looked at his nose and his nose at his heart, standing there quietly, his face expressionless, like a pool of deep water.

After Xuanyuan Zan vented his anger, he looked at Xuanyuan Cheng, his anger still difficult to calm down, "Brother Cheng, you almost fell into a murderous hand this time. This is such a great shame and humiliation, I will make those wolf cubs in the Western Region Royal Court pay a heavy price!"

Xuanyuan Cheng bowed and said in a deep voice: "Brother, calm down. This matter still needs to be discussed in the long run. As far as I know, the Western Regions Royal Court is subservient to our dynasty on the surface, but in fact they have great ambitions. In recent years, they have secretly expanded their armaments, trained death squads, and colluded with surrounding tribes. They are worthy of death."

Xuanyuan Zan paced back and forth, and said anxiously: "We should take the long view? That wolf from the Western Region has been ambitious for a long time. If we don't strike him hard this time, he will become a big trouble in the future!"

Xuanyuan Cheng frowned slightly, looked at Xuanyuan Zan, and said thoughtfully: "I want to destroy the Western Regions more than you, my brother. The Western Regions are vast and sparsely populated, but the people are fierce. If we want to conquer them, it will not be a matter of a day or a night. We also need to consider many factors such as food, troops, and terrain to ensure that there will be no mistakes."

Upon hearing this, Xuanyuan Zan's anger subsided a little, but his eyes remained firm.

"Brother Cheng is right, but I have made up my mind. The Western Regions Royal Court dared to violate the majesty of the upper country, and I will make them pay the price. No matter how difficult the road ahead is, I will completely eradicate them to prevent future troubles."

Xuanyuan Cheng lowered his eyes. He also wanted to eradicate the Western Regions, but the Western Regions were indeed a tough nut to crack.

But no matter how difficult it is, there is still a way out.

"Brother Cheng, what do you think?"

Xuanyuan Zan looked straight at Xuanyuan Cheng, waiting for his answer.

He knew very well that this war-like brother would be the key to this operation.

It’s not that Jingguo doesn’t have generals who are good at fighting, but none of them can compare to him.

Xuanyuan Cheng raised his head, his eyes deep, and said with a cupped hand: "Brother Emperor, I am willing to lead the troops to the battle, but please allow me to make detailed plans first to ensure that everything goes well."

"Okay!" Xuanyuan Zan slammed the table, his voice as loud as a bell.

"I will appoint you as the Grand Marshal of the Western Expedition, commanding the three armies. All the troops will be at your disposal. Return to the palace immediately to make preparations. Three days later, I want you to swear an oath in the parade grounds, show the power of our country, and conquer the Western Regions!"

"My brother obeys the order."

Xuanyuan Cheng bowed and respectfully accepted the order. The next morning, at the court meeting, the atmosphere was extremely solemn.

Xuanyuan Zan sat high on the dragon throne, looked around at the ministers, and spoke slowly: "The Western Regions Royal Court dared to assassinate my brother. This is a provocation to the imperial power and contempt for the majesty of heaven! I have decided that the King of Qin will lead the army to conquer the Western Regions and return peace to my great land!"

Upon hearing this, all the ministers knelt down and shouted "Long live the emperor".

There were many voices of worry, but there was more awe for the emperor's decision and trust in the King of Qin's ability.

Xuanyuan Cheng stood out from the ranks and bowed to receive the order: "I will live up to my brother's high expectations and swear to conquer the Western Regions and return triumphantly!"

In the court, ministers were whispering to each other, discussing the expedition in low voices.

Some people looked solemn, worried about the difficulties of the war.

Some people looked determined and had full confidence in the King of Qin.

An old minister stepped forward, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, this expedition to the Western Regions will be a long journey. I hope Your Highness the King of Qin will be fully prepared and must not underestimate the enemy and advance rashly."

Another general shouted, "Your Majesty, rest assured. His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin is brave and good at fighting. He will surely win the battle and enhance the prestige of our dynasty!"

Xuanyuan Zan nodded slightly and looked at Xuanyuan Cheng: "Royal brother, I will fully support you in this expedition. We will provide you with sufficient food, fodder and military equipment. Do you have any other requests?"

Xuanyuan Cheng clasped his fists and replied, "Thank you, my royal brother. I only hope that the chaos in the Western Regions can be quelled as soon as possible to ensure the peace of our people."

Xuanyuan Zan shouted happily: "Great! All the ministers should work together to help the King of Qin return victoriously!"

The ministers soon dispersed.

Xuanyuan Cheng returned to the Prince of Qin's Mansion. Thinking about the upcoming expedition to the Western Regions, and the fact that he hadn't visited her for several days, he walked towards Mingxi Courtyard unknowingly.

The golden sunlight shines through the gaps between the dense leaves, sprinkling on the bluestone road like broken gold.

Among the flowers outside Mingxi Courtyard, colorful butterflies dance lightly, and the air is filled with vitality.

Xuanyuan Cheng had not set foot in Mingxi Courtyard for several days, which had never happened before.

All the maids and servants in Mingxi Courtyard were trembling with fear, fearing that their master would fall out of favor.

Seeing Xuanyuan Cheng appear, the maids and servants in the entire Mingxi Courtyard were surprised and delighted, and they all bowed respectfully.

"This servant has greeted the prince."

"I am waiting to see the prince."

Xuanyuan Cheng waved his hand, signaling everyone to stand up and walk inside.

At this moment, he felt very complicated. She betrayed the royal court of the Western Regions for him, and disregarded her own life and the fetus in her belly to shield him from the arrow.

It would be a lie if he said he was not moved by this affection; he was deeply touched in his heart.

She is so strong and brave, protecting herself with her weak body.

She was so in line with his own wishes.

I thought I had finally found a partner who was perfectly compatible with me in both soul and body, and we embraced each other affectionately.

He even wanted to ask his brother the Emperor to make her his princess, and then he would only be with her, and they would be together until they were old, and have a few lively and lovely children. This would be enough for their lives.

Those beautiful visions once lingered in his heart, warming him every day and night.

But the sudden appearance of the killer from the Western Regions was like a heavy hammer, catching him off guard and leaving him in a miserable state.

It was like a nightmare, tearing all his beautiful thoughts into pieces.

The truth was like a sharp sword, piercing deep into his heart, causing him to feel heartbroken, conflicted, and unable to sleep all night.

Every time he thought of it, it felt like a thousand arrows piercing his heart, making him waver between trust and doubt.

He looked at the woman who was sitting there quietly without saying a word, and the emotions in his heart were like surging waves, difficult to calm down.
