The Prince Wants to Assassinate Me Every Day

Chapter 1421: Chapter 810: An Ning Arrives, Qianyun Awakens_3

She really knew how to feel heartache.

If Qianyun really didn’t make it through this time...

How was she supposed to go on living?!

"What I have promised, once said, cannot be taken back!" Xiao Luming enunciated each word.

Seeing that the Emperor had already spoken to this extent, Xie Ruotong no longer put up resistance.

She also knew resistance was futile.

"I will take the Great General’s place and personally lead the troops to attack the Tatars," Xiao Luming decided.

"Your Majesty!" Xie Ruotong was clearly opposed.

"After this battle, I have gained some experience in war. Moreover, on this expedition, the Daxuan Army holds an absolute advantage; in sheer numbers and geographical position we completely crush them. With such favorable timing, terrain, and unity, it will not be hard to fight. I just said, for the hatred I bear toward the Tatars, I must personally see that their blood pays for blood!" Xiao Luming was resolute.

Xie Ruotong did not dare say more.

"Before we set out, I still need the Great General to make further preparations for the army’s deployment," Xiao Luming said. "Tentatively, we depart in five days to attack the Tatars’ base!"

"Yes, this subject obeys."

After giving his orders, Xiao Luming turned and glanced at Xie Qianyun.

Five days.

Will you wake up?!

Will you wake up and see me off as I personally go to war?!

...

Five days later.

Xie Qianyun had not woken up, but she also had not failed to pull through as the military doctor had said.

She hadn’t improved at all, kept in a coma, constantly weak, yet kept hanging on.

Xiao Luming, in armor, walked into Xie Qianyun’s tent.

He was about to leave.

This trip would last at least half a month.

News had come that his mother, the Empress Dowager, had already reached the Hebei border and would arrive at the Oasis in just two days.

The military doctor said that with Xie Qianyun’s willpower, enduring two more days until his mother arrived should not be a problem.

So.

He could go to war with an easy mind.

He moved closer to Xie Qianyun.

After sleeping for so long, do you really begrudge opening your eyes even once?!

"Xie Qianyun, wait for me to bring you back the Tatar chieftain’s head," Xiao Luming ordered in a stern tone.

His voice was fierce.

But his gaze was very gentle.

He bent down and lightly touched his forehead to Xie Qianyun’s.

Xiao Luming straightened and left.

He didn’t dare look back.

Afraid it would hold back his departing steps.

This campaign was to restore peace to the Daxuan Kingdom!

...

An Ning arrived at the Oasis two days later.

Song Yanqing came with her.

As soon as Song Yanqing heard that Xie Qianyun had met with an accident, he was completely unable to sit still and immediately petitioned to follow the Empress Dowager to the border.

Xiao Jinxing certainly understood Song Yanqing’s feelings and agreed.

If he were not needed to govern the country, he would also have come to the border.

By the time they arrived, the Daxuan Kingdom’s army had already marched out under Xiao Luming’s command.

And Xie Qianyun was lying in bed, breathing her last.

The moment Song Yanqing saw his daughter, his tears could not be controlled and kept streaming down.

Even Xie Ruotong couldn’t manage to talk him down no matter how she tried.

Seeing Song Yanqing cry like a man made of tears, Xie Ruotong also had trouble holding herself together.

She had been forcing herself to stay composed ever since Qianyun was injured, but the moment Song Yanqing arrived, she completely broke.

Truly, one need not fear a godlike enemy, only a piglike teammate.

An Ning was speechless as well.

She understood how they doted on their daughter, how they would be devastated.

But in front of so many people, could the dignified Prime Minister Song at least show a little restraint.

She hadn’t even declared that Xie Qianyun couldn’t be saved yet!

However.

An Ning took Xie Qianyun’s pulse, and her expression clearly darkened.

Xie Qianyun’s injuries truly were severe.

Of course, not as terrifying as that time she had been attacked by a pack of wolves; if not for her special constitution then, not even an immortal could have saved her, and there would have been no way she could have held on so long and still be alive.

"Empress Dowager, how is the Empress?" Song Yanqing finally couldn’t help asking after An Ning had been silent for a long while.

Looking at An Ning’s grave expression, he was almost afraid to hear the answer.

"The injuries are indeed very serious. Had the wolves taken even one more bite, you might not be able to see Qianyun now."

Hearing this, Song Yanqing nearly collapsed on the spot.

Xie Ruotong hurriedly supported Song Yanqing.

He really should not have come to the border.

"Don’t worry, she can be saved," An Ning added.

Song Yanqing let out a long breath.

But at that moment his tears flowed even more fiercely.

There was no need to scare people like this.

"I now need to prepare for surgery; we must have a sterile environment. Conditions here are a bit crude, but if we follow my instructions, we can still set one up. After the surgery, she should wake within three days," An Ning said.

"Thank you, Empress Dowager, thank you, Empress Dowager." Song Yanqing was moved to tears.

Never had he felt so fortunate to have met the Empress Dowager.
