The Whole Dynasty Spoils the Tyrant's Beloved Youngest Daughter-Chapter 416: I Want You to Take Me to the Battlefield

Chapter 416: Chapter 416: I Want You to Take Me to the Battlefield
So, Ye Ying has been missing for so many years because Lan Xihe sent someone to take him away? She hid him within the Bei Xia Beast Taming Clan, a place that is extraordinarily mysterious, where news rarely leaks out. That’s why Jun Ning has been investigating for so many years without finding any information!
Jun Ning was somewhat surprised by this result.
But what shocked her more was that Ye Ying had actually married Lan Xihe?
Jun Ning coughed twice into her fist and continued to read the content of the letter.
[Jun Ning, Ye Ying and I are already married. He treats me well, dotes on me, and respects me without harboring any resentment because of our mentor-student relationship. I also understand that if he loves someone, he won’t care about the views of worldly people and will inevitably love wholeheartedly. Even if you, the leader of Qianji Pavilion, oppose it, he will still treat me well. With him, I am very happy and lucky. So, whether you are willing or not, please let Ye Ying go and bless us.
Bei Xia and Dongchu are about to go to war. Over the years, the grudge between the two countries has deepened; this battle is unavoidable, and there’s no room to retreat. As a noble daughter of the Beast Taming Clan, whether for the country or for myself, I will not be merciful.
I heard that you are now the Crown Prince and the future Empress of Dongchu. I really want to ask, is there no one in Dongchu that they have reversed roles, allowing a woman to become the Crown Prince? What benefits can you bring to Dongchu? I suppose none, and the danger of national downfall is approaching, right? Haha.
Taking advantage of this conflict between the two countries, let’s compete fairly and see how capable you really are. Are you still the useless person as rumored? Let’s see who is the more formidable between you and me.
My hatred and resentment toward you should end with this battle!
This war will surely be a life-and-death struggle.
I will face you with all my strength, and I hope you will too.
I am looking forward to it.
— Lan Xihe]
Lan Xihe had not written to Jun Ning for years, and suddenly sent a letter before the war, either flaunting Ye Ying’s affection for her, persuading Jun Ning not to oppose it, or expressing her dissatisfaction with Jun Ning, belittling her.
It was as if those years she had fallen on hard times, living by begging, relying on Jun Ning, pleading for refuge from Jun Ning were all false. Even Jun Ning later sought the best person from Qianji Pavilion to nurture her was false.
It was all just Jun Ning’s memory alone.
She completely forgot, in her most miserable time, when her circumstances were worse than Jun Ning’s in every aspect, how much kindness she received from Jun Ning?
And then, Jun Ning was already a level higher than her.
Although Jun Ning disdained comparing these matters, and genuinely considered Lan Xihe as her own sister, facts were facts, unchangeable.
Back to the present.
Jun Ning became the Crown Prince, the future Empress. Even though Lan Xihe is a noble daughter of the Beast Taming Clan, at most she is just an aristocratic lady from a noble family, and bears no comparison to Jun Ning, yet Lan Xihe does not admit she is lower than Jun Ning.
What she cares about is surpassing Jun Ning, surpassing her in strength.
As for whether she surpasses in other aspects, she evasively avoids the question like plugging her ears while stealing a bell.
After Jun Ning finished reading the letter, she tossed it aside, exhaling heavily several times, and then continued processing other letters at hand.
Aside from that brief moment of exhaling, indicating she had some emotions stirred, there was no further fluctuation in her expression.
She seemed largely unaffected.
She had grown; the words on that letter, which deliberately wounded, no longer harmed her fatally as they did years ago, leaving her bedridden for months.
Jing Shu came over to talk to Jun Ning and noticed the letter squeezed between the documents.
She quickly read through the letter, then snorted dismissively.
"That Lan Xihe, back when she earnestly performed her duties in the Weiyang Palace, I thought she would be a good servant, nimble, loyal, and would always remain loyal to you, dear aunt."
"Who knew she’d suddenly act like a small person attaining success, getting backing, and dare to say anything, betraying her former master and savior, truly a thankless wretch, a despicable person."
"Dear aunt, don’t take the nonsense she wrote in the letter to heart. But if you really can’t get over it and must take those words to heart, it’s okay. If I ever meet her, I will certainly slap her hard for you."
Jing Shu angrily sat next to Jun Ning, holding her waist, her small head intimately resting on Jun Ning’s side, watching Jun Ning go through the daunting documents.
Seeing Jun Ning not responding for a long time, she asked, "Dear aunt, do you think what I said is right?"
Jun Ning quickly finished the last document in hand, put it down, turned her head to glance at Jing Shu, and said, "The smelly girl’s words are all correct, thank you, dear aunt."
Jun Ning pinched Jing Shu’s soft cheek.
Very comfortable.
This girl has been her source of joy since childhood.
"Hmph!" Jing Shu huffed, "Your thank-you is too perfunctory, not sincere enough."
Jun Ning looked at Jing Shu and asked earnestly, "Then tell me, what would be considered sincere?"
Jing Shu, righteously said, "I said so much, shouldn’t you respond to me a bit more? If you talk more, I’ll be happy listening and naturally feel your sincerity."
"..." Jun Ning replied, "Smelly girl, as you grow older, you’ll understand that the older you get, the less you want to express. Although Lan Xihe’s actions indeed upset me, I’m no longer a child; I can’t vent my anger just because I’m upset, and I especially cannot make poor judgments affecting national affairs because of my upset."
"Dear aunt..." Hearing such an explanation, Jing Shu suddenly felt sorry for Jun Ning. She pulled Jun Ning into her arms, patting her back like coaxing a child, saying, "You’re living too hard now. Power and status seem glorious but are actually shackles, constantly restricting you."
"So, cherish your current free life."
"Dear aunt, I do cherish my current life," Jing Shu said, "and I’m very worried about you too."
"Smelly girl, don’t worry about me. I’m currently a bit uneasy dealing with state affairs due to limited exposure, but once I gradually adapt in a few years and gain more wisdom, handling state affairs will naturally become like a fish in water, much easier." Jun Ning waved her hand, "So, you don’t need to worry about me."
"Then I won’t worry, and let’s discuss other matters." Jing Shu grabbed Jun Ning’s hand, saying, "A battle is about to happen soon, and I want you to take me to the battlefield, is that okay?"
