The Dark and Foolish King: The Fierce and Crazy Concubine Has Infinite Strength

There are no stars in the night sky tonight. There is only a crescent moon hanging quietly on the branches, diligently emitting dim light, bringing a touch of brightness to the dark night.

It was the middle of the night, when it should have been time to sleep, but Xia Younan appeared in front of a makeshift armory in the city.

She was wearing a black wide-sleeved robe tonight that reached down to her ankles. It was heavy inside, as if she was carrying something heavy.

"Open the door." Relying on her status, she arrogantly ordered the soldier guarding the gate.

"Princess, what are you doing..." A soldier clasped his fists at her and asked in confusion.

Because it was dark, he did not notice anything unusual about Xia Younan's clothes.

Xia Younan glanced at him and replied expressionlessly: "We will break out the day after tomorrow. I'll check if there is anything wrong with the weapons."

When the guard heard her say this, he did not suspect anything. He went to get a candle, opened the door and led her into the armory.

When Xia Younan entered the armory, she saw assault vehicles, catapults, giant crossbow vehicles, wolf-tooth batons, ladders, battering rams, and many other heavy weapons that she had never heard of or seen before.

There are hundreds of them, neatly arranged there, majestic and intimidating without even showing off.

Xia Younan glanced at these heavy weapons, raised his hand to touch the dried blood on the wolf fang stick next to him, and quietly clenched his fist with his other hand.

"These weapons are quite powerful. They played a big role in our country's ability to capture so many enemy cities in a row."

The guard nodded and thanked sincerely: "It is all thanks to your clever mind, Princess, that you invented and designed so many weapons for us. Your contribution is as great as that of the marshal."

"I designed it..." Xia Younan squinted his eyes and muttered softly, "Then I am really a genius."

"Princess, what did you say?" The guard asked in confusion, not hearing her mumbling clearly.

Xia Younan smiled and said to him, "You go out first. I want to take a closer look here to see if there are any damaged weapons or any areas that need improvement."

"Let me accompany you." The guard requested respectfully.

Xia Younan waved his hand and refused, "No, this kind of thing requires full concentration. You staying here will affect my concentration. Go out."

"Well... okay then." Due to her identity, the guard did not dare to think too much. He put the candle on the windowsill, closed the door and left.

Xia Younan watched him leave, sneered, and took out three large porcelain bottles from his two sleeves.

She placed the bottles on a platform and removed the corks from all of them. A greasy smell filled her nostrils.

Afterwards, she took out a brush from her bosom, dipped the brush into the liquid in the bottle, and evenly applied it to the heavy weapon...

The night was as cold as water, but Lu Xiuyuan had no intention of sleeping. He leaned against the window and looked at the moon in the sky. A trace of melancholy lingered between his brows, and could not be dispelled for a long time.

There was a sudden knock on the door and Su Yu walked in holding a candle.

"Why are you not sleeping in the middle of the night? What are you thinking about?" Su Yu came to him and asked with some concern.

He had lost a lot of weight, and the burden of the three armies was pressing on him, making it hard for him to breathe.

Lu Xiuyuan looked back at him, smiled bitterly, and looked at the moon in the sky again, "Thinking about Younan."

"Miss the princess? Isn't the princess already here with you? Why are you still missing her?" Su Yu asked in confusion.

Lu Xiuyuan frowned even more tightly, and after hesitating for a long time, he said to him helplessly, "I don't know either. Since we parted in the capital, I have been missing her all the time.

"Logically, now that she's here with me, I should have stopped missing her, but I found that not only did the longing not stop, it became even more intense. Her figure is all I can see when I open my eyes or close them."

Su Yu was confused by what he said and scratched his head in confusion, "What's going on? Now that you mention it, I've noticed that after this reunion, you and the princess don't seem to be as loving as before.

"Before, you two were so free and close to each other, but now you are so cold and aloof when you are with each other. It's weird."

"Did you discover it too?" Lu Xiuyuan let out another long sigh.

He didn't understand what was going on. The person in front of him was clearly the one he loved, clearly that familiar face, but why did the feeling he had become completely different from before?

This long-awaited reunion should have been a time for them to express their love for each other passionately, but he simply had no interest in being intimate with her. He didn't even want her to get close to him, and he seldom spoke to her on weekdays.

In the past, he was most greedy for his young wife's body, but this time he did not have the slightest desire for her.

Even when she entered his room, he used the war situation as an excuse to use contraception and slept in a separate room from her. He never touched her at all from beginning to end.

"Su Yu, have you noticed that Younan is different since you came to this city?" Lu Xiuyuan asked Su Yu dejectedly.

Su Yu thought about it carefully and replied, "Hmm... She seems to be more gentle and ladylike than before. She smiles without showing her teeth, is docile and virtuous, stands and sits in a proper manner, like a daughter of a wealthy family."

"But she wasn't like this before." Lu Xiuyuan looked at him with a sad face.

Compared to the obedient Xia Younan now, Lu Xiuyuan prefers his former wife who was real and unpretentious, who would pinch her waist and yell when angry, and laugh out loud when happy, and who was carefree, independent, smart and wise.

"Uh... so what the prince means is..." Su Yu was confused.

Lu Xiuyuan lowered his head and pondered for a long time. Suddenly, his eyes flashed and he asked Su Yu tentatively, "Su Yu, tell me, are there two people in this world who look exactly the same?"

"Huh? How is that possible? Unless they are twins, and even twins have differences."

Su Yu first answered him, then reacted and was shocked, exclaiming in disbelief, "Your Majesty, you don't doubt that the princess is..."

Lu Xiuyuan felt so upset that he pounded his head and murmured sadly, "Yes, it's impossible. Even twin sisters can't look exactly the same. That's her. She knows all our past. I've tried to find her out many times."

At this point, he paused for a few seconds, then changed the subject and said frantically, "But what went wrong? Why don't I have feelings for her now? Why isn't she as cheerful as before?

"Why are many of her concepts different from before? Why is her pride and fearlessness gone?"

Su Yu didn't know how to comfort him, so he poured him a glass of water and waited until he calmed down before saying, "Since you have doubts, why not try her martial arts. The princess's martial arts are very strong and her moves are unique. Most people can't reach that level at all."

Lu Xiuyuan's eyes lit up, he thought about it for a moment, and then nodded.

Little did they know that their conversation was overheard by "Xia Younan" who was passing by the door.

She frowned, thought for a moment, then turned and left.
