Fantasy: Empress Wife, Cute Kids Cause Havoc in Jiuzhou

"Let's go, to the front line,"

Long Yurou turned and left the Heavenly Prison, speaking in a grave tone.

"Not at all! Absolutely not!"

Long Yufei hurriedly dissuaded her, "Sister, you are the Empress of Jiuzhou, how can you recklessly endanger yourself?"

"They are my children, what if they encounter danger?"

At this moment, Long Yurou could not care less; she only wanted to find her children quickly, recognize them, and then bring them back to the palace to make up for the motherly love they lacked all these years.

Long Yufei advised, "Sister, what if those who know you've left the Imperial City set an ambush? What if Long Yusheng launches a surprise attack on the Imperial City after you depart? Sister, as the Empress of Jiuzhou, you must not leave the Imperial Palace lightly. Moreover, those two youngsters are not weak at all, they'll be fine. Let me and Ye Hongxue go find them instead."

After pondering for a moment, Long Yurou finally nodded and said, "Alright, you and Ye Hongxue go, you must bring them back safely. Additionally, have your counterpart in Lanzhou visit Big Stone Village again, and if he sees him, let him come to the Imperial Palace to see me. This fellow, to think he deceived me for so many years."

Since those two youngsters were her own children, the mysterious strongman who obliterated ten Martial Emperors in Desolate State had to be her own husband. How laughable it was that she had always thought her husband was a common man, and even more absurd that she had tried every means to win over her own husband. Had she known it was him, why would she have bothered?

"Yes!"

Long Yufei nodded, but she was still somewhat uneasy, worried that Long Yurou would head to the front line as soon as she left. She personally returned with Long Yurou to the Empress's bedroom, and only then did she leave. She found Ye Hongxue at Ye Residence, conveyed the imperial decree, and then both left the Imperial City through the teleportation array.

Long Yufei headed to Li Huo City in the far south, Ye Hongxue to Lang City in the northwest.

Meanwhile, Long Yurou took out the jade scroll to check it.

Buzz!

Upon sensing Long Yurou's Emperor's Thought, the jade scroll emitted a flickering light, condensing in mid-air into an image of an aged woman in prisoner's clothes.

"Child, if you can see this message I left, it means I have left the Heavenly Prison and arrived in Longzhou. Your father's death is related to me, but also to those fellows in Longzhou. I know you let me out to solve your troubles, but I am sorry, I cannot help you. Before it completely devours me, I need to find the real culprit, kill him, and avenge your father. Do not come looking for me."

The image faded away.

But Long Yurou was already in tears, murmuring, "Mother, it was actually you."

Three years ago when she returned, she was informed that both her mother and father were dead, and she personally buried them. To think that her mother was not dead after all, and had been locked up in the nine-story Heavenly Prison, what was going on?

She rubbed her forehead, feeling somewhat headache.

...

Meanwhile, in Li Huo City in the far south.

The teleportation array shimmered with light, and Chu Xin and purple-haired Chu Chen stepped out.

Purple-haired Chu Chen shook his little head, looked around and muttered, "Sister, so this is Li Huo City, it seems a bit hot."

"Silly brother, it's called Li Huo City, of course it would be hot,"

Chu Xin rolled her eyes at him, then turned to the Teleportation Array Guard nearby and asked, "Big brother, may I ask where the battlefield between Central State and Fire State is?"

The Teleportation Array Guard was taken aback for a moment, puzzled he asked, "Miss, why do you ask?"

Those who could be teleported from Central State to Li Huo City at this time were authorized by the emperor, either having a special status or a specific mission. Although this little fellow looked very young, the guard did not dare to take him lightly.

"I'm here to help Central State fight the villains."

Chu Xin said earnestly.

"Pfft!"

Several guards at the teleportation array couldn't help but burst into laughter.

This little fellow seemed to be only three or four, maybe five years old; even if exceptionally gifted, there was a limit to his strength. However, it was surprising that someone so young already had the thought of sharing the nation's concerns.

"Don't laugh, we are serious,"

Purple-haired Chu Chen frowned, hands on hips, and huffed angrily.

"Alright, alright, we're not laughing,"

The guards nodded, trying hard to stifle their laughter, their faces turning red.

Chu Xin took out her Golden Dragon Token and said, "Recognize this?"

Thump!

Upon seeing the Golden Dragon Token, all the guards were so frightened that they knelt directly on the ground and kowtowed respectfully.

To see the Golden Dragon Token was to see His Majesty himself.

They had not expected that this little child would actually possess a Golden Dragon Token; they thought back carefully and, besides having laughed a couple of times, there didn't seem to have been any grave disrespect. Yet even so, they were terrified into a cold sweat.

"Take us to the battlefield,"

Chu Xin jiggled the Golden Dragon Token, her voice childishly sweet as she spoke.

"Yes!"

The guards dared not object and, after bowing respectfully, one of them stood up, bowed his back, and said, "Miss, young master, please follow me."

"Hmm!"

Chu Xin nodded her head and quickly followed the guard, accompanied by the purple-haired Chu Chen.

Moments later, the three of them were suspended in mid-air, overlooking the land below. A dense and massive army was engaged in a frantic slaughter. The sounds of battle cries and screams merged into one.

"Miss, young master, the battlefield is merciless. Please do not run around and make sure to stay close to me,"

the guard said with a serious tone.

The little girl holding the Golden Dragon Token must have a very close relationship with His Majesty or possess an unparalleled great merit to the Empire. Considering the child's young age, the latter seemed unlikely; it could only be a close relationship with His Majesty.

Perhaps she could even be His Majesty's illegitimate daughter.

After all, she had disappeared for several years before His Majesty returned to ascend the throne as Empress.

If she was His Majesty's illegitimate daughter, then he must protect her safety. If something happened to her here and His Majesty was enraged, not only would his own life be in jeopardy, but it was likely that even his entire family would not be spared.

"No need, you can go back. We will just watch here,"

Chu Xin waved her snowy white little hand, her eyes fixed firmly on the battlefield below.

Alongside her, the purple-haired Chu Chen also lowered his head, scanning the battlefield, trying to locate the cannon fodder troops.

However, the siblings had no idea what the cannon fodder troops looked like and, after looking for a long time, they still hadn't spotted any clues.

Chu Xin turned her head to look at the nearby Teleportation Array Guard and asked, "Big brother, where is the cannon fodder army?"

"Cannon fodder army?"

The Teleportation Array Guard hesitated for a moment, then said, "The cannon fodder troops aren't here; they are at another battlefield."

In fact, the battle between the cannon fodder troops and the Blood Puppets was the main battlefield, whereas this place was just a decoy by the Fire State Rebel Army, aiming to exploit the Blood Puppets' diversion of the Central State army's attention. However, the Central State commander saw through their strategy and likewise deployed a cavalry here to intercept.

He knew this so clearly because when there had been a shortage of soldiers, he had also come here to fend off the rebel army with other Teleportation Array Guards.

"Hurry, take us there," Chu Xin urged.

The Teleportation Array Guard hesitated briefly, then said, "That place is full of cannon fodder troops and Blood Puppets, the battle there is even more brutal. It's better not to look."

"It's okay, we're not afraid."

The purple-haired Chu Chen waved his hand, his attitude resolute, "Big brother, quickly take us there, it might be too late otherwise."

Too late? What did that mean?

Could these two little children possibly have a special mission?

The Teleportation Array Guard frowned slightly, thinking of the Golden Dragon Token the little girl possessed, realizing that even if he wanted to refuse, it was not possible. To refuse the command of a Golden Dragon Token holder was tantamount to defying a direct order, a capital offense.

"Alright, but you must stay close to me and not wander off,"

the Teleportation Array Guard warned solemnly.

"We know, let's go,"

Chu Xin nodded, urging. But given her distracted gaze, she likely hadn't truly taken note.

The Teleportation Array Guard sighed slightly, thinking to himself, "I thought it was merely a simple task of leading the way; I hadn't expected it to be so arduous."

The main battlefield was rife with powerful Blood Puppets, and they were murderously relentless. Among them, some of the stronger Blood Puppets could not be subdued even by him, a Peak Martial Saint, in a short time. If they targeted him, trouble was bound to ensue.

However, faced with the command of a Golden Dragon Token holder, he dared not disobey.
