After Ashina Helu was captured, The Western Turk’s troops lost their direction. The incident was unexpected and surprising for them and burned their anger to launch a war. The sub leader below Ashina Helu attacked Gaochang more viciously but without a clear direction. Their target was torn between trying to save Ashina Helu or defeating the power of the Xi Empire in the northwest.
Based on Li Fei Long’s predictions, The Western Turks would split their troops. He insisted on dividing their group, Li Fei Long with General Jiang to hold on Gaochang, Great General Kong and Strategist Commander Bai in Karasahr, and Li Jin Qiu with Commander Lin in Kucha.
King Kan Bo Zhou and King Zhang fought along with Li Fei Long. King Ma fought along with General Kong and Commander Bai in Karasahr while King Qu fought along Li Jin Qiu and Commander Lin.
The summer retreat concludes with a dispatch report about an event that made Duan Qin Wang and General Jiang nearly in between life and death. The Emperor made an order for Duan Qin Wang and Chen Qin Wang to return to the palace once the circumstances allowed them to receive an award.Since then Jiang Xi Yu has been feeling restless and scared. The Imperial entourage back to the capital city was filled with sorrow. Yan Huang Fei joined their grand carriage to help comfort both Jing Gui Fei
“All along General Kong knew that one of the Northwest Kings had planned to break the Xi empire’s rule in the northwest region. It was just unexpected that Han Hong Yuan decided to join the campaign and informed me secretly about The Grand Chancellor and Li Qing Feng’s plan to get rid of me.” Li Fei Long shared his side of the story from the northwest experience.Jiang Xi Yu lifted up her head away from Li Fei Long’s arm. She pressed her hand on his chest to get up. They were naked and tired after a few love making rounds, but hearing Li Fei Long’s explanation, Jiang Xi Yu could not help but having all the negative thoughts grow.“Han Hong Yuan ran away from his own mansion and joined the campaign just to let you know that his father and Li Qing Feng plotted your death?! Do you really think it showed his sincerity
From the beginning of their marriage, it was difficult enough for them to share a bed. Han Yao Ying had to keep reminding Li Qing Feng that they need to have an heir to have more stability. What offended her more was that Li Qing Feng had to do it unwillingly.Before Jiang Xi Yu appeared in the picture, Han Yao Ying got used to being the belle of the season. Li Fei Long and Li Qing Feng adored and spoiled her. Han Yao Ying was the prettiest and she was being fought over the most. But after her wedding day with Li Qing Feng, the adoration was gone.Jiang Xi Yu seemed loved dearly by Li Fei Long and the affection between the two of them looked very much adorable to the outsider. In comparison, Li Qing Feng did not have any affection towards her. The deed on the bed was implemented under compulsion. It always started with force, done crudely, and it al
Shoukang Hall has always been plain and quiet. Yan Huang Fei did not lavishly decorate her living hall and preferred to stay low inside her living quarter. Her title was not low for her to start living her life inside the palace. It was just that her background made her always uncomfortable.As a daughter of a previous royal prisoner family of the past dynasty, Yan Huang Fei being one of The Emperor’s women was only for political reasons. The Late Emperor granted Yan’s maiden household the third rank of nobility. Her relatives and direct family members were given the chance to be the low level government members but they all declined the opportunity. The Yan clan has decided to n
At that time, almost all the invited guests were in a drunken state. Before leaving the estate, Li Fei Long told Jiang Xi Yu to keep Lou Che's affairs confidential between them. Her husband wanted to catch Lou Che red handed and brought him and the male lover straight away to The Emperor and The Empress in private to not further embarrass the royal family’s image.Therefore, Jiang Xi Yu quickly sent off Xiao Gan Zi gonggong to prepare a chamber that was far from the guest’s and secluded from the hou yuan. Jiang Xi Yu did not want the cefei to gossip about Li Xi Shi the first thing in the morning.
The four qin wang and Lou Che fuma rush into the palace at almost the same time. The five of them waited inside the Zichen hall, as Du Yun gonggong announced their arrival and the urgency of the matter to The Emperor.“Da ge, what is the matter to have to hold this meeting all of a sudden?” Li Jin Qiu asked Li Fei Long, bewildered as Li Fei Long and Lou Che seemed strange at that time.Li Jin Qiu has to enter the palace on his wedding night. He was wearing m
“Tell me who you are.” Jiang Xi Yu asked in composed.Sitting on the bed with Li Xi Shi, Jiang Xi Yu looked straight ahead to the woman who she only recognized in her modern time. She knew this woman had relations with Yu Han and Yu Mei since she remembered perfectly on Yu Han and Yu Mei’s last court day, Jiang Xi Yu’s sight caught her appearance far away behind the people there.“You really lost all of your memories.” The woman seemed satisfied with it. She crossed her hand on her chest then she leaned on the fragile looking wood table.Seeing that, Jiang Xi Yu and Li Xi Shi fixed their setting pose on the bed. Their legs hung slightly above the ground as they sat on the edge of the bed. Their instinctive moves to fix their dress and also their pose might have irritat
After escaping out of the capital city, Ashina Helu led the small group toward the west side. He drugged the two noble women during the escape so both women would not be their obstacle. He only stopped when he reached a small village within Fengxiang County.He found small houses with a shared lawn in the middle which was the farest inhabitation from the other families in the village. One of the houses was occupied by a farmer husband and his newly wife. The three other houses should be inhabited by the farmer relatives but due to the landslide disaster in the past, the relatives died, leaving only the old farmer named Boqin to survive.Ashina Helu used one house that was on the north side as a place where he kept Duan Wang Fei and
“Taizifei, this precious gifts was sent from the residence of Minister Jiang. Should nucai ask the other servants to take the other gifts to another room and leave the gifts from Minister Jiang here?”Xiao Gan Zi gonggong bowed to Jiang Xi Yu who was sitting at Yonghe Gate Hall, surrounded by many gifts that were sent out from all the royal families and members of the government. There were even a variety of rare plants which were sent to their residence and had to be placed outside the hall first before Jiang Xi Yu decided where to place it.Two servants brought trays and stood behind X
At the time Du Yun gonggong stepped forward to call out every guest of the banquet to rise from their seats and to pay respect before announcing the arrival of The Emperor, Han Yao Ying had just reached the qin wang’s table.Han Yao Ying did not have time to stand behind the table with her husband when The Emperor entered the banquet with The Empress and The Empress Dowager behind him. With the help of a yahuan, Han Yao Ying kneeled down on the ground and her existence right away stole The Emperor’s attention.“You all may rise.” The Emperor gave his permission for all
Yanqi was strategically located along the Kaidu River. After submitting his resignation, The Great General Kong Li Jun retreated to Yanqi.When Duan Qin Wang led the war on The Northwest, The Great General Kong Li Jun was not directly involved. Even though he got an itch to join the war, he was unable to do so. His sons joined them and all he could do was just give the strategic war as support. The Great General Kong’s eldest son held the title as Commander Kong. He followed Duan Qin Wang to the Imperial City to receive his reward for his great involvement in the conquering mission of The Northwest. The Great General Kong was expecting his eldest son to get elevated.
On the day after, Minister Lin, Minister Feng, and Duan Qin Wang arrived at the Emperor's living hall almost at the same time. The three of them were bemused with the fact that The Grand Chancellor and the member of chancellery were already inside the hall and already started the audience with The Emperor.Du Yun gonggong held them outside and went back inside to inform The Emperor about their arrival.“Why did the Grand Chancellor bring all the members of the chancellery here and even arrive before us?” The Minister of Justice, Feng Luo Cheng, who was the oldest brother of Duchess of Jiang, exchanged looks with Minister Lin and
Du Yun gonggong directed some eunuch to place the wooden seat to face the side before Li Fei Long helped Jiang Xi Yu sit on it. All the twelve imperial taiyi already queued behind Li Fei Long and waited for Jiang Xi Yu to get comfortable on the seat before the senior taiyi started to examine Jiang Xi Yu’s pulse.When the first imperial taiyi started the examination, palace guards brought in Ashina Helu and his five subordinates. Each of them was held by two palace guards and got forced to kneel in front of The Emperor. That was the first time Jiang Xi Yu saw
The entourage back to the imperial city was completely different from the royal entourage during last year's summer vacation.General Jiang brought along half of his troops because they took Ashina Helu and his commanders along. Only Jiang Xi Yu, Chen Wang Fei and her maids were women. The summer retreat entourage seemed lively with all the noble women chattering and dressing in colorful dresses. But this victorious entourage gave a much different impression by the fierce appearance of war warriors.“This child of mine might be born with a stern face and a hard heart because while I am carrying now I have experienced many things. I hope this child will be strong just like right now. Carrying this child does not make me feel nauseous or sick.” Jiang Xi Yu gla
It was in the middle of the night. Li Fei Long was still awake and laying down next to Jiang Xi Yu who was sleeping soundly. Li Fei Long was still feeling the euphoria of being reunited with Jiang Xi Yu. His happiness was multiplied after knowing Jiang Xi Yu was pregnant with his child.Once again, Li Fei Long turned his head to his side to watch Jiang Xi Yu’s face. He smiled at his wife. His sight landed again on Jiang Xi Yu’s belly. Jiang Xi Yu's stomach was already a bit bulging. He wanted to touch his wife but he also could not bear if Jiang Xi Yu woke up because of him.He knew he would not be able to sleep that night. If he continued to lay down next to Jiang Xi Yu, would not be able to control himself not to touch his wife. So Li Fei Long decided to stand up and stay away from the bed.He go
“This official hereby declares the Xi Empire's victory over The Northwest territory. Thus, The Northwest is officially under Xi Empire authority.”The Grand Chancellor stood on the platform that was divided between the officials who attended the morning assembly with The Dragon Throne. He announced it proudly and let the officials before him kneeled and convey their congratulations to the Emperor. He waited until everyone calmed down a bit before continuing on delivering the announcement he had prepared under the Emperor's approval a moment ago.“Duan Qin Wang, Chen Qin Wang, General Jiang, The three Kings of the Northwest, Commander Bai, and Commander Kong succeeded in expanding the territory of the Xi Empire
Arriving at the closest barrack, Li Fei Long quickly found his yurt where Ming He and Qian Chang Xin were stationed there. The moment Li Fei Long arrived and was carrying Jiang Xi Yu in his hands, they rushed to prepare the bed pad inside the yurt before Li Fei Long put Jiang Xi Yu down there.“Ming He, quickly go call a physician to check on wang fei’s condition. Do not say a word about wang fei being here. Just say that ben wang needs a little assistance.” Li Fei Long gave the order after Jiang Xi Yu perfectly laid on the perfunctory bed pad. Without further discussion, Ming He went out of the yurt after accepting the order.
