Is that sentence in Chapter 375 true?
She angrily pulled him into her arms and said irritably, "If you won't hug me, then I'll hug you..."
"A Jin!"
Di Beizun then called out to her with a rather helpless expression, raised his long arm and pulled her into his embrace, holding her tightly, "Then don't move around..."
As soon as the voice fell, he transformed into an impenetrable wall, trapping her completely. The intense heat caused the little spark that had just cooled in Lord Sikong to reignite, and the unique, cool fragrance emanating from him made her feel extremely uncomfortable.
"Your Majesty? It seems it's still dark... Perhaps we could... um..."
This is a classic case of playing with fire and getting burned!
Once a sentence is uttered, there's nothing left but to be dealt with again!
……
When he woke up the next day, it was already afternoon. After washing up and changing into a clean black robe, Lord Sikong walked out of the room in a refreshed state, humming a strange little tune about "Love is 100% about caring about your heart, you have to believe that happiness is nearby..." His delicate face was filled with a bright smile, and he seemed to be in a very good mood.
Just as he stepped out the door, he saw Eunuch Xu walking towards him. Lord Sikong greeted him warmly, "Good afternoon, Eunuch Xu!"
"Greetings, Lord Sikong!"
Seeing Lord Sikong's posture, Eunuch Xu was startled and tensed up, quickly responding.
Lord Sikong walked past him with his hands behind his back, asking as he did so, "Emperor Bei Zun... oh, I should say Your Majesty... where is Your Majesty?"
"Reporting to Lord Sikong, His Majesty is in his study. Just walk through this corridor, and it's right there!"
Eunuch Xu responded respectfully, but his gaze toward Lord Sikong was somewhat ambiguous and strange. It was obvious what had happened between Lord Sikong and His Majesty last night when His Majesty had the room cleaned.
The battle is fierce!
Almost all the furniture in the room was destroyed and scattered all over the floor!
But no one dared to say anything; they could only lower their heads and silently tidy up.
The rumors about His Majesty and the Minister of Works have long been an open secret. Although it seems a bit strange that this is happening now, I've come to accept it out of habit.
When Lord Sikong entered the study, Di Beizun was standing in front of the table, looking at the map in front of him with a deep expression.
"What are you looking at?"
Lord Sikong glanced at him, then moved closer and followed his gaze, quickly spotting a map that had been marked quite a bit.
It is a detailed map of the area south of the Tiansheng Jiangxi Fortress, but it seems to be more than just a map of Tiansheng; it appears to be a map of Tiansheng's military deployment.
Looking at it, Sikong Jin couldn't help but raise her eyebrows in surprise, "The Tian Sheng's military deployment map? How did you get your hands on this?"
Di Beizun withdrew his gaze, calmly glanced at her, and did not answer.
You seem to be in pretty good spirits.
A smile flickered across his cold, aloof face, revealing a hint of gentleness.
Lord Sikong shrugged. "Aren't you in a pretty good mood too? I satisfied you last night... Your Majesty, you look really good in this outfit today. I think you're the only one in the entire Fengyun Continent who can wear a black dragon robe so well! You're also the most handsome, and the most skilled in martial arts!"
She had originally intended to say a few lewd things to tease him, but when she met his gaze, which instantly turned cold, Lord Sikong tensed up. A pure and innocent smile immediately appeared on his delicate face, and he couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
"How's the situation on your end? When can you send troops? My men should arrive soon."
Seeing that his expression had softened slightly, Sikong Jin regained her composure, stared at the map in front of her, and asked in a serious tone.
"We are still waiting for news from Shengdong. If all goes well, we can send troops the day after tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, Sikong Jin couldn't help but touch her nose, asking in confusion, "How's their alliance going? Still no news?"
Emperor Beizun put away the map and placed it on the table. "I had long anticipated that they would form an alliance, so I took this opportunity to divert their attention and buy some time for the 500,000 troops of Shengdong. It won't be easy for the Liao to send reinforcements, so once the war starts, we must act quickly. First, we need to control the Jiangxi Fortress and block the Liao reinforcements north of the Jiangxi Fortress. Then, I can deal with them properly to the south."
"You're not just thinking of going head-to-head with them, are you? Although your Great Zhou army is powerful and intimidating, the combined forces of Tian Sheng and Da Liao are no less than a million strong. Are you confident you can withstand them? I'm terrified of death. I don't want to die with you; I haven't lived enough yet! By the way, I don't want to be a widow, so you'd better fight this battle well. If you win, I'll reluctantly become your empress. If you lose, don't blame me for running away quickly..."
As soon as Lord Sikong finished speaking, he was immediately met with a cold glare from Emperor Beizun. However, Lord Sikong still looked at him solemnly and continued, "I am serious. In order to prevent me from becoming a widow and His Majesty from becoming a widow, we should make more plans. We should not only make arrangements for the attack, but also prepare for the escape!"
"Don't look at me like that. I've put all my savings into this and gone all out with you, and you haven't even thanked me yet!"
Lady Sikong suddenly noticed sparks dancing in his deep eyes, so intense that it made her feel uneasy. She couldn't help but lean back slightly, squinting her clear eyes as she looked at him calmly.
"Was that statement just now really true?"
He stared at her meaningfully.
"Which sentence?"
Lord Sikong raised an eyebrow with delight and asked with some doubt.
"If I win this battle, you will become my empress?"
Di Beizun's gaze was as calm as the sea, staring at her intently without blinking.
Lord Sikong touched his nose and met the gaze of Emperor Beizun with a meaningful look, quite intrigued, "If I were to marry you, how much dowry would you give me? I am quite expensive!"
Emperor Beizun shifted his body and sat down at the table, wrapping one arm around Lord Sikong's slender waist, his tone unusually gentle, "If you follow me, do you think I will mistreat you?"
"I thought you would declare loudly like all the male protagonists on TV, 'Even I am yours, everything I have is yours'... Why are we not romantic at all? I have a great sense of humor. Sigh, I really can't imagine what it will be like to be with a dull and boring person in the future."
