Chapter 285: Beautiful Killer VS Undefeated War God Prince 28
Yu Yao lowered her eyes and remained silent.

She could deeply feel Xuanyuan Cheng's complicated eyes and his inner struggle.

She suddenly stood up, walked to Xuanyuan Cheng with a calm face, and bowed respectfully, "I didn't know that the prince was coming, so I failed to greet him. Please forgive me."

His attitude was extremely respectful, without a single flaw, but it lacked the intimacy and casualness of the past.

It also made the atmosphere seem more awkward.

Xuanyuan Cheng looked at her like this, his eyes became more complicated, and he said lightly: "Get up, no need to be polite."

The voice was extremely calm, without any emotion, but it also lacked the gentleness and doting of the past.

Yu Yao could sense it, and knew that this man was still bothered by her identity as a killer from the Western Regions. It would be a lie to say that she didn't feel disappointed.

But then I thought about it and felt that I was really greedy.

Xuanyuan Cheng did not kill her, did not execute her as an assassin, and allowed her to continue living in the Prince of Qin's Mansion as a concubine. This was already the best outcome.

What else could she hope for?
Yu Yao stood up and glanced at the teacup Xiangling brought in. She took the initiative to pass it to him, "Your Highness, have a cup of tea to moisten your throat."

Xuanyuan Cheng just stared at her like this, his deep eyes seemed to be able to suck her in and then melt her into his body.

"Why do you need to do this yourself when you can just let the servants do it?"

He reached out and took the teacup from her hand, his eyes fell on her shoulder. Because of the obstruction of her clothes, he couldn't see the extent of the injury inside.

"How are you injured? Is the baby in your belly okay? Have you asked the court doctor to see you?"

He took a sip of tea, concealed the concern in his eyes, and asked in a low voice.

The tone was flat, as if it was a casual question.

When Yu Yao heard this, she knew that this man still cared about her. She bowed slightly and replied with a smile: "I am much better now. My wounds are slowly healing, and the baby in my belly is also doing well."

Xuanyuan Cheng nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "That's good."

In an instant, the air seemed to freeze and the silence was so awkward.

Both of them kept silent and did not speak again.

Xuanyuan Cheng's heart was a mess. His feelings for her were struggling between trust and suspicion. He wanted to get closer to her but was afraid.

The complicated emotions were like a huge rock pressing on my heart, so heavy that it was hard to breathe and I didn't know how to deal with it.

Yu Yao knew very well that he was conflicted and didn't know how to face her.

She wanted to say something to ease the awkward silence.

Then he heard Xuanyuan Cheng say, "This king will go to the Western Regions soon, you..."

Thinking that she was a killer from the Western Regions, the words that were about to come out of his mouth were stopped abruptly, leaving him with only frustration and helplessness.

Yu Yao raised her eyes to look at him, as if she knew what he wanted to say, and smiled slightly: "Your Highness, you don't need to care about my thoughts. Although I am a killer trained in the Western Regions, I have betrayed the Western Regions' royal court and have no relatives in the Western Regions. As long as Your Highness treats the people of the Western Regions well, I will not care."

Seeing that Xuanyuan Cheng's expression had softened a lot, she said softly again: "The battlefield is dangerous, Your Majesty, please be careful. Don't forget, I and the baby in my belly are still waiting for you in the palace."

The eyes are passionate and sincere.

Xuanyuan Cheng looked at her passionate and sincere eyes, and his expression became more complicated.

He was a little afraid to look at her, so he quickly avoided her and turned his eyes away.

"You should stay in the palace and take good care of your pregnancy. If you need anything, please tell Li Fu. I am leaving now."

Xuanyuan Cheng left this sentence and hurriedly turned away.

A few days later, the army was ready to go.

As dawn broke, the training ground was already filled with a solemn and murderous atmosphere.

The military flags danced wildly and fluttered, like the cry of unyielding souls.

Xuanyuan Cheng was dressed in golden armor that sparkled brightly in the sun. He had an extremely handsome face, with sword-like eyebrows slanting into his temples, deep eyes, a straight nose, slightly pursed thin lips, and determination emanating from his brows.

He stood on the high platform, his posture as tall and straight as a pine tree, cold and majestic, intimidating.

"Soldiers!"

Xuanyuan's eyes swept across the army below, and his voice was like the roar of a dragon in the sky, piercing through the clouds and splitting the rocks, echoing in every corner of the parade ground.

"The bandits in the Western Regions have ulterior motives. They disguised themselves as merchant caravans and sneaked into the heartland of our Jing Kingdom, attempting to overthrow our country and disturb our peace. Today, I, under the order of the Emperor, will go out to fight. I vow to wipe out the bandits and protect the peace of my country!"

His voice was filled with unquestionable power. His right hand tightly grasped the hilt of the sword, his knuckles turning slightly white due to the force, as if even the air was vibrating.

Below the stage, thousands of soldiers shouted in unison: "Defend my country, defend my country."

The sound waves were like waves, reaching the sky.

Xuanyuan Cheng nodded in satisfaction. He drew the sword from his waist, pointed it at the sky, and shouted sternly: "All soldiers, listen up. In this battle, we can only win, not lose. We must use the enemy's blood to create the eternal glory and honor of Jingguo!"

The voice was like thunder, stirring the hearts of every soldier and inspiring the deepest passion and fighting spirit in their bodies. After he finished speaking, he jumped on the horse. The horse was tall and had shiny fur. Its four hooves churned and raised a cloud of yellow dust. Its neighing went straight into the sky, showing the demeanor of a king.

Xuanyuan Cheng held the reins firmly and led the troops to set off first.

The soldiers behind him followed closely, marching in unison. The clanging sounds of armor colliding made a sound, military flags fluttered, and swords and spears were like a forest. They were like an unstoppable torrent of steel, rolling towards the Western Regions.

And under the city gate, people gathered in large numbers, talking a lot, their faces filled with worry about the war and admiration for the heroes.

"I heard that the people of the Western Regions are extremely cunning. I wonder if the King of Qin can return safely from this trip."

"Don't worry, the King of Qin is the God of War of our Jing Nation. Once he takes action, won't those little thieves in the Western Regions be easily captured?"

"I hope so. May all the soldiers return safely and bless our Jing Kingdom to prosper forever." A woman clasped her hands together and prayed silently.

On top of the city gate, Xuanyuan Zan, wearing a dragon robe, stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes following Xuanyuan Cheng's receding figure.

His expression was solemn and complicated, showing both concern for the King of Qin and expectations for the future of Jing State.

He shouted loudly: "Brother Cheng, the battlefield is dangerous, you must take care of yourself and don't let me down!"

Xuanyuan Cheng turned his head and clasped his fists, responding loudly: "Brother Emperor, rest assured. I will defeat the enemy and return victoriously to protect the peace of Jingguo!"

Then, Xuanyuan Cheng flicked the whip, and the horse galloped away like an arrow, leaving only a cloud of dust.

In the Mingxi Courtyard of the Prince of Qin's Mansion, sunlight shone through the window lattices onto the ground in patches.

Xiangling hurried into the room, looked at her master who was reading a storybook on the couch, and said anxiously, "Master, the prince is going to the battle today and is ready to go."

Yu Yao was slightly startled and looked at Xiang Ling, "Are you going to the battle today?"

"Yes, they have already set out. Many people are watching at the city gate and discussing this matter."

Xiangling took two breaths and spoke again.

Yu Yao didn't say anything. After hesitating for a moment, she stood up and hurried to the dressing table, took out an exquisite purse containing a few pills.

There are things that can stop bleeding, heal wounds, and detoxify. In short, they are all life-saving things on the battlefield.

The price was not expensive, she had bought it when the system mall was having a discount.

She put the purse into her pocket and said, "Xiangling, quickly prepare the horse. I want to see the prince off."

The voice was somewhat anxious.

Xiangling was startled. She knew her master was worried about the prince, but thinking of her master's injuries, she hurriedly advised: "Master, your injuries are not healed yet. How can your body bear all this traveling? Why don't you give the purse to me?"

Yu Yao waved her hand nonchalantly, "I'm fine. My wounds have almost healed after these days of recuperation. Don't delay, go and get ready."

Xiangling had no choice but to hurriedly order people to prepare the carriage, knowing her master's temper well.

Soon, a carriage was waiting at the gate of Prince Qin's Mansion.

Yu Yao hurriedly got on the carriage with Xiang Ling, and couldn't help but urge the coachman, "Hurry up."

"Okay, concubine, sit tight."

The coachman whipped the horse whip and the carriage sped quickly along the street.

Hurry and hurry along the way.

Finally, not far outside the city gate, they caught up with the army that had set out from Xuanyuan City.

Yu Yao lifted the carriage curtain, poked her head out, and shouted loudly, "Prince."

Xuanyuan Cheng heard the familiar voice, turned around, and saw her chasing out of the city. He was slightly surprised, but then joy and complexity emerged in his eyes.

He pulled the reins and drove the horse to the carriage. He looked at Yu Yao and said with concern and reproach: "Why are you here? If you are not feeling well, you should rest well in the mansion."

Yu Yao didn't bother to explain and handed him the purse in her hand, "My Lord, this is what I prepared for you. There are several life-saving pills in it. The battlefield is dangerous, you must return safely."

Xuanyuan Cheng took the purse, held it in his hand, looked at her deeply, with mixed feelings in his heart.

She seemed not to notice the complexity in the other person's eyes, and continued: "My Lord, the journey is long, you must take good care of yourself and don't make me worry."

Xuanyuan Cheng suddenly smiled and couldn't help but rub her face with his hand. "Don't worry, I will be careful. But you should also take care of yourself in the mansion."

At this time, the deputy general on the side urged: "Your Majesty, it's getting late, it's time to set off."

Xuanyuan Cheng looked at Yu Yao deeply, kissed her between the eyebrows, and said reluctantly: "Wait for me to come back."

Then he turned around and rode back to his team, leading the army to continue forward.

Yu Yao looked at the receding army and suddenly smiled.

Ever since she was shot and injured, and then her identity was exposed, Xuanyuan Cheng's favorability towards her has been fluctuating violently.

It has only just stabilized and has stopped fluctuating.
