C218 (1/2)
In their ten years of confrontation with the The Jin Dynasty, their Easternum had already found many excuses to fight.
After every loss, they would cut off the land for compensation. Easternum was rich in properties and fish, but it could not withstand such exploitation. Hence, every time before the war, they had to think about it carefully.
”This time, they were the ones who acted first to snatch our East Chu. The fault is theirs, we were merely defending ourselves.
”However, we will not lose.” The generals of the imperial court spoke with one voice.
Even if he lost, he would still have to fight.
”Alright, I agree.” Emperor of the East Chu waved her hand. In his heart, even if he did not want to fight, she still had to declare war on The Jin Dynasty in order to save face.
The main reason was that The Jin Dynasty had gone too far this time, she had actually humiliated them.
If they did not retaliate, then it was likely that everyone wanted to come to their Easternum's land and trample on it. At that time, no one would have any respect for them anymore.
Just like that, the shocking battle between Easternum s began.
When the news reached the capital of The Jin Dynasty, everyone was stunned.
Jin Chuyi was so angry that he almost choked.
”Bold dog thief, you actually dare to rebel.” It was obvious that the Easternum and the The Jin Dynasty were in an alliance.
This time, the Easterner must have seen Da Jin fighting with the Nanke for a long time.
As a result, they had an illusion that the weak Nanke could fight against the strong The Jin Dynasty, and that the stronger they were, the better.
All the ministers felt that the war at the Nanke had persisted for a long time. In the past, there was nothing much, and a dignified The Jin Dynasty, even playing with them at the Nanke was something they could afford. But now, it was no longer possible.
When the war started in the Easternum, the lines of battle in the The Jin Dynasty would be lengthened and the warriors in the garrison would be dispersed.
”Who should we send for this battle?” Jin Chuyi was full of heroic spirit, he never thought that he would let go of someone who challenged his dignity as a great country.
Since they dared to make a move, he would naturally step forward to give them a heavy blow. This would let them know that the The Jin Dynasty's national might was not something that could be easily provoked.
The hall was in chaos.
It was only because the leader of the army failed to achieve unity.
First Prince went up on stage as a group of powerhouses.
And naturally, the Second Prince's group would go up on stage with their own people.
Only the Third Prince was standing calmly in front, listening to the discussions of the people about the war of words, it was extremely lively.
Sixth Prince also had an unperturbed look. He stood up straight and did not say a word.
Jin Chuyi's head hurt from their bickering. He didn't know why, but he had a headache recently.
After a long argument, no one had been able to decide who to go to.
Everyone thought that this was a good opportunity to compete for fame and benefits. No one wanted to give up on this opportunity.
In the Sixth Prince's Estate, Sun Jinzi was playing Go alone.
On the board, black and white pieces were crisscrossed across each other.
”Empress, the sky is already dark. Could you set the dinner for dinner?” Senior Servant Liu was worried about Sun Jinzi's body. Seeing that she had sat in front of the chess board, he had already sat for two hours and immediately went to ask for instructions.
Sun Jinzi used her right index finger to pick up two pieces, and said gently: ”No need, wait for His Highness to come back, then we will have dinner together.”
Since the time Jin Chupei married her, he had never come back this late.
However, Sun Jinzi could deduce what happened in the great hall today without going there.
”Empress, His Highness' personal guard just sent a message for you to use first.” Not only was the Senior Servant Liu worried about Sun Jinzi, even Jin Chupei who was in the great hall was worried too.
He knew Sun Jinzi's personality. She would definitely not use it before waiting for him, which was why she said that.
”His Royal Highness acted this way for me, this is his heart, I'm waiting for him, this is my heart.” Some feelings, if one person did not say, then another person also did not put in effort, perhaps he would completely miss it.
As a result, in this lifetime, Sun Jinzi did not mind doing more than that. Because of her past life's experiences, she could easily see through Jin Chupei's intentions towards her.
”Bring the cheaper dishes here and keep them warm on the stove. As for the rest, keep them, don't cook them.” There were some dishes that became more fragrant the longer they were cooked. However, there were some dishes that had to be cooked and eaten at once. If the dishes were put for too long, they would no longer be tasty.
Sun Jinzi was still firmly seated at the round mahogany table. The sky grew darker and the candles were already lit in the room.
The sound of wind came from outside the door, followed by a commotion.
Senior Servant Liu took a look and immediately came over, ”Empress, His Highness is back.”
Sun Jinzi nodded, she just stood up and prepared to welcome him, only to see that Jin Chupei had already walked in.
”Don't get up. It's windy outside. You're wearing less, so be careful of catching a cold.”
Jin Chupei walked forward and held both of Sun Jinzi's hands. He liked to look at her, who was meditating under the light.
Her face was delicate, and her expression was solemn and serious. The light in her eyes was like a magnet, deeply attracting him.
”I'm not that delicate.” Sun Jinzi emphasized.
Ever since Jin Chupei found out that she had been poisoned by the cold poison, he treated her like a porcelain doll.
Sometimes, Sun Jinzi even suspected that she was really too weak.
”Then sit down.” Jin Chupei did not say anything, holding onto Sun Jinzi, the two of them sat down.
Jin Chupei looked up at the black board on the table and could not help but exclaim:
