Emperor Shen's charming wife

On the second day, the enemy envoy came to the palace to meet the emperor with a haughty attitude. In the court, he held his head high and read out the conditions for exchanging hostages in a loud voice. "In order to ensure the fairness of the transaction, our emperor hopes that Emperor Shen will go to the front line in person." As soon as the voice fell, there was an uproar in the court. The ministers whispered to each other, looking terrified. Shen Yu sat high on the dragon throne, his face as calm as water, as if he had already made up his mind. "I agree." "Your Majesty!" The ministers knelt down together and shouted in unison: "Your Majesty, please think twice!" Shen Yu's face was stern, and his tone was firm and unquestionable: "I have made up my mind, no need to say more." "Dismiss."... After the court, Shen Yu hurried back to the bedroom. He knew that Ning Yao must have heard about this. Sure enough, as soon as he entered the bedroom, Ning Yao hurriedly came to meet him. Her face was as pale as paper, but her eyes were firm: "Shen Yu, you can't go." Shen Yu held her hand and said gently: "Ayao, I know you are worried about me, but this is the safest way at the moment." "If you don't go, they will kill the child." "Their goal is to kill you, and you will be courting death if you go!" Ning Yao's eyes were red, and she shouted hoarsely. Shen Yu took her into his arms and comforted her softly: "Ayao, don't be excited, be careful not to hurt yourself." "I am the emperor, I have my responsibilities." "If I don't go, how will the people look at me? How can I be worthy of the people of this world?" Ning Yao's body trembled slightly, tears rolled in her eyes, and she was about to cry. "But you are my husband, how can you be worthy of me?" "You know that this trip is full of dangers, but you still want to go. Don't you care about the life and death of me and my child?" Shen Yu pursed his lips, his voice was a little hoarse: "Ayao, I care about you, but I care more about the world." "I can't let the people fall into dire straits, and I can't let the soldiers die in vain." "This is my mission and my responsibility." Ning Yao broke free from his arms and asked with red eyes: "What about me and the child?" "What are we in your heart?" Shen Yu was silent for a long time before he slowly said: "Because I am the emperor." Because he is the emperor, he must abandon his family for the people of the world. Because he is the emperor, he must sacrifice his own happiness and fulfill everyone. Because he is the emperor, he must bear this heavy responsibility. Ning Yao looked at him and suddenly felt that the man in front of her became unfamiliar. He is no longer the gentle and considerate husband, no longer the man she can rely on. He is the emperor, the master of the world. There is only the world in his heart, not her. "Why can't we send someone else?" Ning Yao's eyes were blurred with tears, her voice was trembling, and her whole body was trembling slightly. "Why must you go?" Shen Yu's face was solemn, his lips were tightly closed, and he was silent for a long time. In the end, he just sighed heavily and said, "Because I am the emperor." Ning Yao's delicate body trembled more and more, and tears rolled in her eyes, and finally she couldn't help but burst out. "Shen Yu, you are too selfish." Her voice was filled with deep despair and anger. "You can even sacrifice your own children for your throne." "I hate you." As soon as she finished speaking, she turned around resolutely and left in a hurry, leaving only the sound of her skirt fluttering. Shen Yu looked at her back as she went away, his heart ached, and his heart was full of unspeakable bitterness. He knew that this trip was extremely dangerous, but in his opinion, this was the only way for the child to return safely, and he really had no choice. That night, Ning Yao was alone in the dim study, the candlelight swaying, reflecting the tears on her face. She flipped through the ancient books in a panic, her fingers turning white due to nervousness, trying to find other solutions. But after flipping for a long time, she did not find any useful clues, and her hope gradually turned into a bubble. Just when she was exhausted and ready to give up, she accidentally found a secret letter left by Shen Yu in an ancient book. The letter detailed the real reason for his journey and his deep affection for Ning Yao. "Ayao, I know this journey is full of dangers, but this is the only way to ensure the safe return of the child." "I am the emperor, I have my responsibilities and mission." "I can't let the people fall into dire straits, and I can't let the soldiers sacrifice in vain." "I know you hate me, but I don't regret it." "Because I love you, I am willing to give everything for you." "Wait until I come back." Ning Yao held the letter tightly, tears like a flood that broke through the dam, and couldn't stop flowing down. She knew that Shen Yu loved her. But she didn't know if she could still believe him.
