After watching them leave, Jian Qingqing let out a long sigh of relief. Fortunately, she made it in time.

The piece of jade she gave Ming Zhiyan was the one she had asked for at the

National Temple. It had been placed in front of the Buddha statue for hundreds of years and had become a part of the temple.

She knew that Ming Zhiyan was going to lead the army to war that day, she had been uneasy and had no mood to play, so the two of them strolled back to the temple.

Although Jian Qingqing was not superstitious, the moment she saw the

Buddha’s body, she still knelt down and begged for Ming Zhiyan’s safety.

She did not expect that when the abbot saw her, he said that she had a fate with Buddha and gave her a piece of jade that had been enshrined in the temple.

Jian Qingqing was skeptical. She thought about her transmigration and thought that she might really be different, so she accepted the jade.

The jade stone was not big. It was the size of a palm. After Jian Qingqing got it, she wanted to carve something on it and give it to Ming Zhiyan before he went to war.

For this reason, she even went to find a master who specialized in carving jade to learn for two days. Only then did she decide to carve the word ‘peace’ on the jade and wear it on her body.

In the past, when she watched TV dramas and read novels, there would always be protagonists who had something on their bodies that blocked disasters. She also hoped that her Big Brother Ming would be so lucky. She also hoped that the jade that had been enshrined in front of the gods and Buddhas for hundreds of years could protect Ming Zhiyan’s safety and block disasters for him when he was in danger.

She had originally planned to give him the jade on New Year’s Eve, but she did not expect an accident to suddenly come. She had only carved the two words ‘peace’ and had not polished and deepened the imprint, so she had to give it to him in a hurry.

The Emperor patted her shoulder and consoled her, “Don’t worry too much. Zhiyan will definitely come back safe and sound.”

Jian Qingqing nodded. “I know.”

Then, she looked at the Emperor and asked, “Your Majesty, what are your plans? Big brother Ming’s military strength is far from enough, and the other borders are still in deep trouble If no one supports them, I’m afraid the situation will not be good.”

The Emperor’s brows were tightly locked. He said in frustration, “Next, I can only write about military service.”

Jian Qingqing nodded. There was really no other way. The military service in Wei Kingdom was not that heavy. Now, one man had to serve in the military for every three men in a household, and two men for every five men. So, if the military service was increased, one man for every two men would have to serve.

“If there’s anything you need, Your Majesty, you can tell me. I’ll think of a way.”

The Emperor nodded, and his face finally relaxed a little. “I thank you for your contribution to the people of Great Wei.”

“No need to thank me,” Jian Qingqing shook her head and said with a smile, “I’m also a citizen of Great Wei.”

Even before the news of the emperor’s conscription had spread, there were already men on the streets of the capital who were willing to go to the battlefield.

“Your Majesty! I’m willing to go to the battlefield to protect my country!’

“Your Majesty! I’m willing to do so!”

When the Emperor’s return sedan passed through the streets, there were already masses of people kneeling on both sides of the streets. They knelt there of their own will, begging the Emperor to go to the battlefield.

The Emperor was shocked and his eyes suddenly became wet.

On the battlefield, swords had no eyes, and everyone was afraid of death. He did not expect his people to volunteer to fight.

At this moment, the Emperor felt that he had succeeded in being the Emperor.. Throughout history, how many Emperors had volunteered to go to the battlefield when their country was in danger?
