Xuan Ye was still emitting cold air as he entered the room. Rong'er reprimanded him in a soft voice. ”It's such a cold day. The emperor should stay in the palace more often. It's really cold outside.”

Xuan Ye smiled and said, ”It's alright. I have good news to share with Rong'er.” As he spoke, Xuan Ye sat on the warm brick bed.

Rong'er walked up and pushed the incense to Xuan Ye, asking with a smile, ”What's the good news?”

”The Qing Army is victorious again! ”I feel much better now, so I can't wait to share my joy with Rong'er!” Xuan Ye smiled as he held Rong'er's hand.

”Then congratulations, your majesty!” In the past few days, the news of the Emperor's victory had been spreading more and more. Rong'er truly felt very happy.

Xuan Ye pulled Rong'er to sit beside him and said with emotion, ”Actually, I really want to personally go to war. Now that the south is at war, I will personally go and rouse the morale of the troops! ”The ministers and officials of the imperial court all tried to dissuade her, saying that the capital city was the most important place in the world, and that the empress dowager was extremely old in life. All of them resisted my personal actions.”

”Then what does the emperor plan to do?” Rong'er looked at the side of Xuan Ye's face and asked.

Xuan Ye frowned. ”I have not made up my mind.”

Rong'er looked at Xuan Ye's vexed expression and thought for a moment. He smiled and said, ”Your Majesty, Rong'er also thinks that it's best if His Majesty doesn't take the field personally.”

Xuan Ye said with slight annoyance, ”You are the same as them. You believe that I should guard this capital, and that if I personally lead you there, there will be danger. If anything happens to the capital, the consequences will be severe. I know what all of you mean, but how can I be someone who is afraid of death?”

”No.” Rong'er said softly, ”Rong'er was misunderstood by the Emperor before he could speak.”

”Oh, what does Rong'er mean by that?” Xuan Ye turned his head to look at Rong'er.

”Your majesty, Rong'er thought that the reason your majesty can't take the field himself is obviously not because your majesty is afraid of death. In your son's eyes, your majesty is incomparably valiant, so how could he be afraid of death!” Rong'er smiled as he looked into Xuan Ye's eyes. ”However, Rong'er thinks that with the war in the south, there should be internal strife, and the subjects of the rebellion should be sent by their subjects to pacify the rebellion. Didn't the Emperor personally go out to raise the status of the rebellion? If you don't go, then our Qing Dynasty's emperor will just send someone to pacify the rebellion.”

After hearing Rong'er's words, Xuan Ye pondered for a moment before nodding and saying, ”Haha, Rong'er, you're also advising us not to take the field. Your words are much more moving than the words of the officials and princes, but … ”That makes sense.”

”The Emperor agrees with Rong'er's words?” Rong'er's eyes shone with anticipation as she looked at Xuan Ye. Actually, she really didn't want the emperor to take the field personally. The safety of the emperor on the battlefield couldn't help but cause people to worry.

”Agreed.” Xuan Ye nodded thoughtfully. ”That's why I thought …” ”I've decided, I'm not going anymore!” Xuan Ye chuckled as he held Rong'er tightly. He held this smart and kind woman, this woman that was indispensable to his life. ”Rong'er, your thoughts are really good. This is an internal conflict, and I don't need to go personally.”

In Xuan Ye's arms, Rong'er happily smiled.

In the coldest winter, as long as your heart is warm, you won't feel cold …
