It was late in the evening, and Emperor Chai Rong dispatched his cavalry entourage from the inner palace, planning to go back to Chenzhou first.

The siege battle that lasted all day gradually eased, and the Zhou army retreated towards the peripheral fortifications like a tide. Occasionally, a fireball flew in the air, drawing a shining fire tail like a shooting star.

Chai Rong and others gradually moved away from Shouzhou City, and the din of people gradually faded away. After the sun went down, the night gradually opened. He looked back at the direction of Shouzhou City again, and the shadowy towers towered over the sky, like a scar in the sky... and like a heart disease in the emperor's heart.

The emperor's eyes finally left Shouzhou City, turned his head away, he raised his head and sighed. The stars above the head have come out, and the Milky Way has covered the entire vast sky... The vast soup is endless. In an instant, Chai Rong was inadvertently overwhelmed by this scene. He subconsciously stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to touch the miracle of the god.

Mortals, even the highest emperors, cannot control the heavens; but everything on the earth and the shores of the land should be controlled by the king of the world! Chai Rong felt that the Jianghuai Plain was reflected in a certain place above his head, and the brightest stars were Shou, Hao, Si, Chu, Chu, and Dongdu... Chai Rong was a little distracted for a while, and gently stroked Shouzhou, Qingliuguan Chuzhou, Dongdu... the Yangtze River with his fingers in front of his eyes.

He wants to control all of this, he wants all of this in his dreams! In the haze, the gold and iron horses came through the sky, and the elite soldiers galloped and roared in the sky like clouds. A rushing herd of horses flattened Shouzhou, broke through Qingliu Pass and entered to occupy Chuzhou, defeated Jiangdu Mansion, and drank horses along the Yangtze River... The mountains and rivers were split, and power surged between the Jianghuai River and the Huaihe River.

Chai Rong wants to surpass all the emperors from ancient times to the present, not only to complete the great cause of unifying the world like the first emperor of Qin, but also to make the people of the whole world live and work in peace and contentment. In the whole world that belongs to him alone, he only needs one sentence to change, create, and destroy. He is the king here, and the world is his territory!

Chai Rong couldn't wait any longer, he closed his eyes, wishing that someone would tell him that Huainan had been conquered as soon as he opened them.

Break through the situation in a straight line from the middle road and reach the Yangtze River; the strategy of dividing first and then mopping up. Chai Rong thought over and over again and felt that there was nothing wrong. At this time, he made a decision. Shouzhou could not be attacked, but it could not hinder the rapid implementation of the strategy!

"Wang Shenqi." Chai Rong reined in his horse.

A military general in front hurriedly turned around, got off his horse and knelt down on one knee: "The minister is here!"

"Pen." Chai Rong stretched out his hand, and the eunuch next to him hurriedly found a used brush, licked it on his tongue in haste|moistened it, and put it in Chai Rong's palm. Chai Rong asked Wang Shenqi to stretch out his left hand again, wrote the word "Chu" on the back of his hand, and said, "You don't have to let me go to Chenzhou, go to Wokou immediately, order Zhao Kuangyin to receive the order, and immediately lead the cavalry to attack Qingliu Pass and wipe out the enemies outside Chuzhou."

"Minister, take the decree!" Wang Shenqi carefully withdrew his hand and shouted loudly.

Chai Rong continued to drive overnight. He planned to return to the front line as soon as possible after visiting the queen in Chenzhou.

No one can stop the great event in his heart! Once his first wife died, his son died, his daughter died, all of them died tragically, and his whole family died, but none of this could make Chai Rong fall into grief, and he couldn't let him give up his ambition in depression.

He thought it was good enough for the queen, she wanted to come by herself, but fell ill when she arrived in Chenzhou, who could be blamed; and now it was a critical moment on the front line. Even at such a time, I rushed to see her overnight... I hope the empress can understand the emperor's favor for her and what he has done for her, so that she can return to Tokyo with peace of mind and die in the palace with dignity.

Chai Rong still felt a little sad in his heart, but then he thought again: She almost lost her life in Li Shouzhen's house back then, and now she is dead as a queen, with the highest honor, and there is not much regret in her life.

A whole army guarded the emperor, and everyone rode on horseback, but they dared not run too fast on the night road, and marched slowly towards Chenzhou. It was not until the morning of the next day that everyone arrived in Chenzhou.

Chai Rong didn't care about resting, knelt down before the governor himself, washed his face, and rushed to see Fu's family in the requisitioned mansion. The imperial physicians and palace officials who were on duty inside and outside the courtyard had heard that the emperor was coming, and knelt in a long line at the door to greet him.

"Pingshen." Chai Rong was still wearing armor, waved his hand and said something, then ignored the group of people, and did not talk to the imperial doctor.

Chai Rong walked straight into the bedroom, all the court ladies knelt down and said in unison: "The emperor's life is boundless." After a while, a middle-aged court lady said softly: "Madam, the emperor came back from Huainan to see you."

"En." Unexpectedly, Fu Shi could still hear and answer. It seemed that it hadn't reached the point where the eunuch said 'there is only one last breath left'; but when Chai Rong stepped forward to look, he felt that it was almost the same. Fu Shi's face has lost a lot of weight, his skin is dull and bloodless, and his time is indeed numbered.

Chai Rong waved his hand: "Back off."

The middle-aged palace lady hurriedly led a group of serving maids out of the bedroom immediately.

...

"Official family." Fu finally stretched out her hand from the quilt, and suddenly felt being held by a pair of rough hands. These hands felt so strange, why did she feel so strange after knowing him for several years, but her heart immediately warmed up, and she was slightly excited, "I..."

Chai Rong put his head close to her face and said nicely, "What do you have to say to me? Take your time."

Fu Shi said: "I... don't want to die, the officials please help me."

Chai Rong frowned slightly, and said again: "Queen, what wish do you have, what can you explain, tell me, and I will definitely do my best for me."

Fu Shi slightly opened his eyes, stared blankly at the top, his eyes were dull, and he spoke weakly, his voice was as low as the sound of a mosquito flapping its wings: "I don't have... any wish, just... don't want to die..."

Chai Rong persuaded: "Look a little wider."

Fu Shi whispered: "The person who died was not you, of course you can see it, but I can't..."

After hearing this, Chai Rong was a little angry, human nature is that people are dying, and their words are good, how could she curse me to death? He held back, it is not the right thing to do to such a person who is almost dying at this time.

He no longer asked Fu Shi what her wish was, and felt that she was confused, so he went straight to the decision and said, "Don't worry, the Fu family will not have any influence, and my favor for Taifu (Fu Yanqing) will not diminish. I will discuss with the courtiers and plan to remarry your younger sister. Therefore, Taifu and his brothers and sons who are in charge of the army will continue to be trusted."

Originally, Chai Rong did it out of kindness. In this era, the interests of the family are above all else. He told Fu's this personally to reassure her that even if she is gone, everything the Fu family has won will be as before without any risk.

But when Fu Shi heard this, he felt even more sad, and said angrily, "So you really planned to marry my sister a long time ago..."

Chai Rong said: "You don't want me to do this?"

Fu's eyes were dry, otherwise he would be so sad that he would cry now, "I'm so scared, it's so dark in front of me...I'm only twenty-five years old, why did I die, what crime am I doing?"

Chai Rong said: "Where is the queen guilty? If you are guilty, I will forgive you."

Fu Shi shook his head and sighed faintly. In the past, when Li Shouzhen's whole family died, and she was the only one living alone, Fu Yanqing said that she was guilty and should become a monk to purify her sins and atone for her sins. But Fu Shi has never done anything wrong, but God doesn't think so, must let her die to be satisfied? She is very dissatisfied and unwilling, life is so good, she has everything... There are still many things in life that I haven't enjoyed enough, and I haven't enjoyed myself to the fullest.

She murmured intermittently: "Guanjia, have you never cared about me...you always follow the emperor's will..."

Chai Rong was silent. After a while, he suddenly remembered the scene of his most respected adoptive father when he passed away, and thoughtfully said: "When the late emperor passed away, he told me that the queen was here, and that he would be able to protect the Great Zhou... But Taifu Fu's performance in Jinyang made me a little disappointed. Taifu Fu is old... Or, did the late emperor have more far-reaching considerations?"

Fu Shi suddenly felt like a pawn. Although she was not energetic, she could easily think: If the official dies before her, what is Taizu Zhou's consideration?

Chai Rong said again: "But the matter has come to this point, I can only marry the second daughter of the Fu family as the queen, and I have no choice but to continue to honor the late emperor's last wish."

Fu Shi whispered: "I am me, my sister is my sister..."

Chai Rong seemed very unhappy when he heard that, he couldn't help but said: "Your sister should be more suitable for a queen than you, so you can go at ease, I will bury you generously."

Fu's family said quietly: "Didn't the minister say... that there will be no funeral?"

Chai Rong was stunned for a moment, then said coldly: "That official must be talking too much!"

In Fu Shi's dry eyes, a tear soaked out of the eye socket, slipped from the corner of the eye, flowed down the cheek and then disappeared, leaving no trace.

Chai Rong said again: "This country needs a monarch and a queen. You come from a rich family, and I thought you understood this truth. Whether I regard you as my wife is not important compared to such a big event. I am not a lustful and stupid monarch like the Lulong Liu family. I will not give a woman a honorable name just to spoil a certain woman. If you have no wish, I will leave."

Fu Shi stopped talking and ignored her, her heart was cold.

Perhaps, after some years, this country will be prosperous and peaceful, and people will enjoy the joy of prosperity through singing and dancing. Kings and famous ministers will be respected by people, and their names will be left in history... What a wonderful prospect. But what does this have to do with me? There is also the Huainan War that the officials are anxiously thinking about. What does the victory or defeat have to do with me?

When a person dies, where will he go? Will there be an underworld, or do you know nothing when you close your eyes?
