Chapter 696: A War

Sheng Li dropped Ying Lili to the chamber. After making her sleep, he came out of the chamber and asked Court Lady Xu and Ki to keep a close check on the Empress.

"Yes, Your Majesty." They both walked in while Sheng Li told Xing-Fu to follow him.

"Your Majesty, General Xiao, and Commander Yao were looking for you earlier. It seems General Xiao has an important matter to discuss with His Majesty," Xing-Fu said humbly.

"Where are they?" Sheng Li asked.

"In the military barracks," Xing-Fu answered.

Sheng Li hummed and descended the stairs when saw Wang Hao coming in his direction. He reached the bottom of the stairs where Wang Hao had stopped. "You look happy," Sheng Li said and took the last step down from the last stair.

"It is an occasion to get happy, Your Majesty," Wang Hao answered. "I came to fetch you. The Emperor shall not go out alone without his General," Wang Hao remarked.
