Emperor Shen's charming wife

The court and the people were full of praise for them. To celebrate this hard-won victory, Shen Yu and Ning Yao decided to hold a grand celebration banquet in the palace. At the banquet, the lights were brilliant, and the dazzling light shone on everyone's faces. There was a wide variety of delicacies and fine wines, filling the exquisitely carved tables. The musicians played cheerful and melodious music, and everyone's faces were filled with long-lost relaxation and joy, which was a kind of heartfelt joy. "Your Majesty, Queen, we finally drove the enemy away!" A minister shouted excitedly, his voice full of excitement and pride. "Yes, thanks to the wise leadership of the Emperor and the Queen, we can live in peace!" Another minister hurriedly echoed, his eyes full of respect and gratitude. Shen Yu and Ning Yao smiled at each other. Shen Yu smiled and said, "This is all due to everyone's concerted efforts. The Queen and I have only fulfilled our responsibilities." Just as everyone was immersed in the joy of this initial victory, a mysterious messenger appeared silently. He was wearing a black cloak, and his figure seemed to blend into the shadows around him. He quickly handed a letter to Shen Yu, then turned around and left in a hurry, as mysterious as when he came. Shen Yu opened the letter, and the content of the letter instantly made his face solemn, and his originally gentle expression was replaced by seriousness. "Your Majesty, what's wrong?" Ning Yao asked with concern, her eyes full of worry. Shen Yu nodded, "The letter said that this place is our palace." Ning Yao received a rather surprising news, saying that there have been frequent small-scale thefts of supplies in the palace recently. Although the amount of supplies lost each time is not large, it always makes people feel that there is an invisible black hand quietly manipulating everything behind the scenes. Ning Yao sat on the couch in the bedroom, frowning, thinking about the strangeness of this. There was a gleam of doubt in her autumn-water eyes, and her slender fingers gently tapped the armrest. At her signal, Eunuch Li took the order and left to secretly investigate the matter. The corridors of the palace were winding and deep, and Eunuch Li shuttled through them, carefully investigating every possible clue. After several days of running around and exploring, there was finally a result. Unexpectedly, these events were all related to Ning Xue. It turned out that Ning Xue tried to use this method to distract Ning Yao's attention and achieve her own ulterior purpose. After Shen Yu heard about this, he had a plan in his mind. He decided to take this opportunity to cleverly use the strategy of turning the tables and carefully arranged a perfect trap, just to completely uncover Ning Xue's hypocritical veil and make her true face nowhere to hide. At a carefully prepared palace banquet, the lights were bright and the music was melodious. Everyone was immersed in this joyful atmosphere. However, at this moment, Ning Xue suddenly "accidentally" mentioned what she "knew" about the theft of some important materials. As soon as this remark came out, it was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, which immediately caused ripples and triggered a storm. But Ning Xue had never expected that all this was under the control of Shen Yu and Ning Yao, and it was just a clever trap they set for her. However, just when Shen Yu and Ning Yao were about to take advantage of the situation, the enemy's general led a mighty army to the border. The speed of the march was far beyond everyone's expectations, and it was like a storm, approaching the border defense line. For a time, the border was in emergency. This shocking news quickly spread back to the capital, and the whole country was shocked. Shen Yu did not hesitate, and immediately recalled the elite troops scattered outside, and decided to lead the army to the north in person. At the same time, he looked serious and ordered Ning Yao to stay in the capital to stabilize the situation in the rear to prevent any unexpected changes. At this moment, Shen Yu's face was as gloomy as a dark cloud, and his eyes revealed a firm determination. He knew that the enemy army was coming with great momentum and the situation was as serious as a mountain. The enemy general he was about to face was a fierce general with outstanding achievements and a great reputation on the battlefield. This man was not only cunning, but also wise and brave. He was undoubtedly an extremely difficult and powerful opponent. "I want to see what is so outstanding about this enemy general." Shen Yu thought to himself, with a firm light flashing in his eyes. He resolutely led the army northward, determined to fight the enemy. In the capital, Ning Yao's eyes were also solemn and worried. She knew that Shen Yu was carrying the heavy responsibility of defending the country on his northward journey. She prayed silently in her heart, hoping that Shen Yu would be able to win the first battle and return triumphantly. "Your Majesty, I will wait for you to come back." Ning Yao said softly, with tears in her eyes. Shen Yu nodded slightly, with a touch of tenderness in his eyes. He patted Ning Yao's hand gently and said, "I will definitely return safely." After that, Shen Yu turned and left, leading the army to resolutely embark on the journey north. On the border, Shen Yu and the enemy general launched a thrilling and fierce duel. The two sides fought back and forth, and each won and lost, and the battle fell into a stalemate. In the capital, Ning Yao sat in the rear and tried her best to stabilize people's hearts. She knew that she had a vital responsibility. She must ensure the stability of the capital and provide solid and reliable backing for the soldiers fighting bloody battles in the front. In an extremely brutal border battle, Shen Yu, with his extraordinary command ability and the bravery of his soldiers, finally managed to temporarily force back the enemy, but he also suffered heavy losses.
