Quickly wear "I am the empress"

Hearing Zhiyu's words, Miao Zhaorong quickly raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her face, "Okay, I'll listen to An'er."

Seeing Miao Zhaorong like this, Zhiyu felt heavy in his heart. Parental love is selfless. If the real Zhao An had not encountered such a dynasty, he would probably have lived a happy life.

It’s a pity that things in this world...are rarely perfect.

Zhiyu leaned in Miao Zhaorong's arms, her voice gentle but firm: "Sister, this harem is not peaceful. After I leave, you should be careful."

"Because my father wanted to make me the heir, the officials in the court still dislike me."

"I wonder if they will attack the Miao family when I leave the capital this time."

"After I leave, all the power in my hands will be handed over to Cousin Anle. If anything happens, you can ask Cousin Anle for help."

"Although Daddy's heart is on Madam Zhang, he still cares about me."

"If someone bullies you, just go and complain to Daddy, and he will take care of it for you."

Looking at Zhiyu nestled in her arms, Miao Zhaorong's loving eyes were full of determination.

"An'er, go to the war without worry. You don't need to worry about your sister."

"Your grandmother was your father's wet nurse. I grew up in the palace. Over the years, I have seen a lot of things, so I naturally know how to protect myself..."

"Madam, I beg to see you."

Just as the mother and daughter were talking to each other, the sound outside broke the helpless warmth.

Miao Zhaorong patted Zhiyu gently and said, "Sister, go out and take a look. You should get some rest early."

Hearing this, Zhiyu nodded obediently, "Sister, go to bed early too."

After leaving Zhiyu's room, the smile on Miao Zhaorong's face gradually disappeared. She stared at the palace maid waiting at the door, her eyes becoming extremely complicated.

After the palace maid bowed to Miao Zhaorong, she was taken to a dark place by her.

"Have you completed all the tasks I asked you to do?"

The maid looked around and saw that there was no one around. She nodded cautiously and replied in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "My lady, it has been done."

"I saw with my own eyes that the official drank the wine."

Hearing this, Miao Zhaorong's eyes flashed with complexity, "Did you leave any evidence behind?

The maid shook her head, "No, the medicine never passed through my hands."

"No matter how others search, they can't find it on this servant."

Miao Zhaorong nodded, her beautiful face showing no emotion, "Tomorrow is the day you leave the palace, remember to find the head aunt to claim your reward."

"After leaving the palace, I believe you should know what to say and what not to say."

Upon hearing this, the maid knelt down immediately and said, "Please rest assured, my lady, I know nothing."

Miao Zhaorong nodded and waved her hand calmly, "You can go down."

Upon hearing this, the maid quickly stood up and bowed, "Madam, I will withdraw."

Looking at the palace maid's back as she left cautiously, Miao Zhaorong squeezed the handkerchief in her hand into a ball.

She and the official grew up together as childhood sweethearts, so logically, she shouldn't have done this.

But for An'er, she had to do this. She couldn't just watch her An'er become the second Prince of Runan.

She knew very well that a princess who had been discussed as the crown prince would have a hard life if she could not ascend the throne.

Since the emperor is determined to make An'er the crown prince, no more children can be born in the harem.

Not even a princess...

The next day.

When daybreak came, Zhao Zhen and all the palace ladies personally delivered the jade outside the palace.

Looking at Zhiyu, who had changed her usual palace attire and was now wearing a dazzling red armor, Zhao Zhen suddenly felt as if his daughter had grown up.

He picked up the Tai'a sword that he had borrowed to observe a few days ago and handed it to Zhiyu solemnly.

"An'er, no matter what the battle situation is, you must come back safely."

Zhiyu took the sword and bowed to Zhao Zhen, "Don't worry, Daddy, An'er will definitely conquer a piece of territory for you."

"Let you also be a pioneer."

Hearing Zhiyu's confident words, Zhao Zhen chuckled, "Okay, Daddy is waiting for you to make me the pioneer king."

As he spoke, Zhao Zhen's eyes turned to the general standing behind Zhiyu.

"Di Qing."

Di Qing stepped forward and bowed to Zhao Zhen, "I am here."

"No matter what, you must protect the princess."

Di Qing cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will do my best to protect the princess."

Hearing this, Zhao Zhen nodded, and his reluctant gaze fell on Zhiyu again.

"If someone disobeys, you don't need to write to me, just kill him directly."

Zhiyu smiled at Zhao Zhen and said, "Dad, I'm going to fight this time, so you don't need to command the tactics from behind."

"If anyone in the court scolds me for this, remember to scold me back."

Zhao Zhen nodded, "The entire army is in your hands. You decide how to fight the battle. If you don't understand something, ask the veterans in the army."

"The court will not interfere in this expedition."

Hearing this, Zhiyu nodded with a smile, "Thank you, Daddy."

Hearing the conversation between the father and daughter, Queen Cao, who was standing aside, frowned slightly but said nothing.

Miao Zhaorong held Zhiyu's hand and gave her many instructions until someone came to urge her, and then she reluctantly let go of Zhiyu.

Zhiyu bowed and saluted to everyone, "Dad, Madam, Sister, An'er is gone, please take care of yourself."

After saying this, she exchanged glances with Princess Anle in the crowd, then left without looking back.

Watching Zhiyu's back getting farther and farther away, Zhao Zhen felt quite complicated.

He raised his hand and touched his sore eyes. When he put it down, his palms were already wet with tears.

Over the years, he had many children, but An'er was the only one he managed to raise.

He poured all his emotions and hopes into An'er, hoping that his An'er could return safely...

—

Before Zhiyu and his army had gone far, they saw someone waiting outside a pavilion in the distance.

Seeing the army coming, the young man waiting outside the pavilion was very excited and waved to the army quickly.

When Zhiyu saw the young man, his heart sank slightly and he immediately tightened the reins in his hands.

"Master, you take the army and leave first, I will follow soon."

After hearing Zhiyu's words, Di Qing's eyes fell on the young man not far away, and he nodded slightly and said, "Okay."

"Xu."

Zhiyu stopped his horse in front of the young man and quickly dismounted.

"Princess."

Seeing Zhiyu coming, the young man hurriedly bowed to Zhiyu.

Zhiyu looked at the young man disapprovingly, "The master is not in good health, why did you bring him here?"

The young man sighed and shook his head, "Daddy insisted on coming, and he wouldn't listen no matter how much we tried to persuade him."

As he said that, the young man stepped aside to make way, "Princess, please go in. Daddy is waiting for you."
