The two of them had made an agreement. Su Qingwen would lie in bed pretending to be ill every day, while Hua Yueye would stay by her bedside without leaving for a single moment.
"Your Majesty, it's been two days since you last attended court. How about going there?" Hua Yueye's personal eunuch couldn't bear it any longer and boldly stepped forward to offer his advice.
"Stop talking. As long as Concubine Xian is not well, I won't care about those things." Hua Yueye frowned tightly, looking extremely annoyed. Then he quickly waved his hand, signaling the little eunuch to leave.
Since Hua Yueye had said so, naturally no one dared to say another word.
As a result, there were already dissatisfied voices in the court. Moreover, on the third day, the Qiangdi Tribe suddenly launched a surprise attack on the southern region.
"Your Majesty, it's bad! Those barbarians have launched a sneak attack on our southern troops. You know, there weren't many troops stationed there. What should we do now?" A guard rushed in from outside the palace in a hurry and knelt directly in front of Hua Yueye.
The man's body trembled constantly, and his voice seemed to have changed a bit. He looked as if he had been greatly frightened.
"Sure enough, what should come has finally come." Hua Yueye sneered and suddenly stood up straight.
Su Qingwen was sitting beside him, and her heart suddenly started beating faster. She also had a premonition that the most crucial moment had arrived.
"Your Majesty!" The man wanted to say something, but before he could open his mouth, Hua Yueye bypassed him and pulled Su Qingwen outside.
"Where are we going now?" Su Qingwen tightened her outer robe and asked nervously.
"Of course, I'm going to take you to watch a good show." Without saying a word, Hua Yueye took her directly to the city wall.
There, an armed army was approaching the palace. The man leading the army had his face covered with a black cloth. He held a long sword in his hand and was riding a horse in the front. Along the way, they faced almost no resistance.
"Who is this person?" Su Qingwen subconsciously tightened her fingers and asked.
"Tuoba Jun, the leader of the Qiangdi Tribe. If it weren't for the news that you were seriously ill and I was in low spirits, staying by your side, he probably wouldn't have come so soon." Hua Yueye lifted his chin and looked down coldly.
Just a little more, and Tuoba Jun would have reached the city tower. But Hua Yueye showed an expression of watching a good show. Su Qingwen felt as if her heart was in her throat, but he didn't show any reaction at all. Was this man really that confident?
"Hey, should we run away?" Su Qingwen gently tugged at Hua Yueye's clothes and suggested.
"Can't you be a bit more promising?" Hua Yueye was almost on the verge of falling to the ground. He rolled his eyes at her and said, "Just watch closely later and see what it means to capture the ringleader first!"
Just as he finished speaking, they heard the sound of footsteps approaching. It seemed that Tuoba Jun had led his subordinates up.
Hua Yueye subconsciously protected Su Qingwen behind him and looked at the front coldly.
Tuoba Jun stood steadily in front of the two of them and sneered, "I thought it would be much more difficult to deal with you. Turns out you're just a brat still reeking of milk. You've even lost your kingdom because of a not - so - pretty girl."
"What did you say?" Su Qingwen felt so angry that she was almost spitting blood.
Not - so - pretty girl? Who said she wasn't pretty? This guy really had no taste.
[System: Honey, you now have a chance to gain energy. That is to go and defeat Tuoba Jun, and then your health value will increase. Well, isn't it very tempting?]
Hearing this, Su Qingwen was stunned. This Tuoba Jun seemed to be about 1.8 meters tall and had muscles all over his body. How could a girl with only 50% health value be his match? This was simply a pipe dream!
"I seriously suspect that you're trying to send me to my death." Su Qingwen said with a troubled look.
[System: Don't worry. I definitely won't let you go there just like that. I can lend you some energy first. After all, I'm the most considerate system!]
"Okay, I agree. Hurry up." Su Qingwen rubbed her hands and was already eager to try.
[System: Alright, now your combat strength has increased to 100. Good luck, honey.]
Su Qingwen took a deep breath and felt that her body seemed to be much lighter. Then she clenched her fists and suddenly ran out from behind Hua Yueye, rushing towards Tuoba Jun at an astonishing speed.
"Stupid girl! Overestimating yourself!" Tuoba Jun knew that Su Qingwen was ill. Moreover, even if she was in good health, she was just a weak woman with no strength to even tie up a chicken. She was simply no threat at all. So Tuoba Jun didn't even try to dodge.
But when Su Qingwen's fist hit his abdomen, he really felt what regret was.
How could a stupid girl have so much strength?
Tuoba Jun lowered his head. Waves of pain came, as if there was a meat grinder churning in his abdomen. Blood rushed to his chest, and he spat it out. His face suddenly turned pale.
"Chief, are you okay?" The subordinate beside him was also shocked by this scene. Who would have thought that the mighty Tuoba Jun would be beaten to spit blood by a little girl?
Hua Yueye raised his eyes and was also stunned by Su Qingwen.
"Humph, how dare you look down on me." Su Qingwen gave him a disdainful look, then rubbed her fist and was about to throw a second punch.
"Bitch, how dare you hit me! Guards, quickly capture her and Hua Yueye alive!" Tuoba Jun gasped for breath and waved his hand at the soldiers behind him, signaling them to go and arrest them.
There were probably dozens of them. Su Qingwen would surely not be their match if she fought alone.
Moreover, the time limit for using her ability was limited. She couldn't hold on for long. She nervously looked at Hua Yueye behind her, and her eyes were a bit red.
"Come here." Hua Yueye, showing great male charm, grabbed her soft hand and pulled her into his arms. "Are you stupid? How could you just rush out like that? What if something happened to you?"
"I..." Su Qingwen's face blushed slightly, not knowing how to explain.
Suddenly, she saw more than a dozen black - clothed men appear in front of her. These people seemed to descend from the sky like Spider - Man without making a single sound. According to the settings in novels and TV dramas, such people must be masters with profound internal energy, always hiding beside them.
"Capture Tuoba Jun." Hua Yueye looked at the man in front of him coldly, took a step back, and said with a sneer.
These people were actually here to help Hua Yueye. Su Qingwen thought in surprise. No wonder Hua Yueye said he was going to take her to watch a good show. It turned out that he had already made preparations.
