"Now my princess is willing to give the prince a choice. If the prince can follow my princess to Tuoba, then the problem faced by the prince this time can be solved immediately. But if the prince is unwilling to agree, my princess will go back immediately."
Although Lingyu didn't say the last half of the sentence, Gu Beichen couldn't understand it any more.
"I wonder what the prince wants?"
After Lingyu said all the words Arina told her, she bit the bullet and said the last sentence. But after she finished speaking, she felt that her legs were weak, and she did not dare to look up again for a long time.
Gu Beichen's eyes fell on Lingyu in front of him, and he sneered, "What do you think of me? Tell Arina when you go back. When she returns, I will personally see you off."
In this way, Lingyu finally understood what Gu Beichen meant, and she breathed a sigh of relief. She quickly bowed to Gu Beichen and saluted, then turned around and left as if running away.
When Lingyu told Arina exactly what Gu Beichen said, she stood aside for a long time without daring to speak.
After Arina sneered twice, she finally understood Gu Beichen's intentions, and then ordered Lingyu to pack her things and prepare to go back.
As soon as the news that Arina was preparing to return came out, the situation at the border suddenly became tense. He didn't even have time to wait until the next day. That night, the emperor summoned Gu Beichen into the palace overnight.
With this news, An Ruowan could no longer hide it. She also put on her clothes at this time, and then sat aside and waited for Gu Beichen to return.
In the palace, Gu Beichen looked at the emperor in front of him and already understood his intentions, so he took the initiative to take a step forward.
"Brother, I volunteer to go."
After the words fell, a smile appeared in front of the emperor, "Since Zitan is willing to share my worries, I will leave this matter to Zitan."
After Gu Beichen bowed his hands to the emperor, he turned around and was about to go back, but the emperor stopped him. "The situation is urgent. I wonder if Zitan may leave early tomorrow morning?"
Gu Beichen paused as he left, as if he didn't expect that the emperor would be so anxious, so he accepted the matter without hesitation.
It was late at night before Gu Beichen returned to the palace and immediately ordered people to start packing.
But as soon as Gu Beichen finished speaking, he heard someone coming in from behind. He thought it was the housekeeper who didn't understand something, but he turned around and realized that the figure who came in was An Ruowan.
Their eyes met, and no one spoke, but An Ruowan guessed what was going on in an instant.
"If I hadn't gotten up now, the prince wouldn't have told me about this?"
Seeing Gu Beichen's behavior, An Ruowan guessed at a glance that Gu Beichen was preparing to leave overnight.
"Of course not, but it's so late, why hasn't the princess taken a rest?"
As he spoke, Gu Beichen cast his gaze on Cai Huan, with a hint of reproach in his eyes.
"Since the prince recognizes me as the princess, I will also go to the border this time."
When An Ruowan finished speaking, Gu Beichen had a flash of understanding, "This time..."
"If the prince does not agree, I will also find a way to go."
Hearing this, Gu Beichen also remembered An Ruowan's appearance at the border, but Gu Beichen was really worried about having An Ruowan go with him.
Before Gu Beichen could make up his mind, the housekeeper ran in from the door anxiously. After seeing An Ruowan, he subconsciously wanted to salute, but was stopped by Gu Beichen.
"What happened?"
Seeing the butler's expression, Gu Beichen instantly guessed that something must have happened.
"Your Majesty, there are imperial guards outside the door urging you to leave as soon as possible."
Originally the housekeeper didn't want to say this in front of An Ruowan, but the situation was urgent and he didn't care about much else.
Gu Beichen was about to go out, but was stopped by An Ruowan. Seeing the determination in her eyes, Gu Beichen sighed helplessly in his heart, then turned around and gave instructions to Qingfeng.
"Go and pack the princess's things and set off immediately!"
But as soon as Gu Beichen finished speaking, An Ruowan immediately followed him and walked out, "The east and west colorful rings have been packed away."
Gu Beichen was stunned when he heard this and looked helplessly at the person beside him. He really had no way to deal with An Ruowan.
Now that everything was packed up, Gu Beichen led his army out of the capital that night. When the news spread the next day, several people were gone from Prince Rong's mansion.
"Zitan didn't even come to bid farewell to me!"
Concubine Zhen's words now also added a bit of worry. After all, the current situation is too complicated. This time Gu Beichen led his troops to the border, and he really didn't know when he would be able to come back.
But soon another piece of news reached Princess Zhen’s ears.
"Your Majesty, the princess is also heading to the border."
When the maid informed Princess Zhen about this, she immediately showed a somewhat surprised look, as if she didn't expect An Ruowan to not hide away at this time.
But then he thought that the battlefield was changing rapidly, and An Ruowan was no more than a little girl. She might be completely left at the border if she wasn't careful on the battlefield, and her mood eased a bit.
All of a sudden, all the discussions in the capital were about Gu Beichen leading his troops to the expedition.
"How did I hear that Tuoba Kingdom sent troops this time because Princess Arina was unable to woo her?"
"Then Princess Arina's thoughts have been obvious since she first came to Daqi. Is there any need to guess?"
"Prince Rong is really unlucky to encounter such a thing now."
People were talking a lot, but they didn't notice that there was a figure sitting in the teahouse next to them, listening to their conversation.
"Then Prince Rong is not in danger this time?"
"Bah, bah, bah, Prince Rong has just got married. If something really happens..."
Before these words could be finished, a figure rushed up to the side. After sitting down, he drank a large bowl of tea before taking a deep breath and speaking.
"Prince Rong and Princess Rong actually went to the border with Prince Rong this time!"
As soon as these words came out, the chatter in the crowd became louder and louder, as if a bomb had been dropped.
"Is it possible that the princess is really not afraid of something happening?"
"I'm afraid you have forgotten that before the princess became the princess, she was the princess of Yuanshuang. How did she get this title?"
"It wasn't Princess Yuanshuang who single-handedly came up with the solution to the epidemic!"
"That's right! How could Princess Yuanshuang have the heart to watch the lives of the people in ruins? Otherwise, Princess Yuanshuang wouldn't have stayed at the border for so long last time."
"If Princess Yuanshuang can come back safely, her merits will be immense!"
After listening to everyone's words, the figure on the side left a few taels of broken silver beside the table, then stood up and left quickly.
"Master Taishi, the gossips of those people nowadays cannot be taken seriously."
Seeing that Luo Qingqiu's face looked unhappy, the guard following him quickly spoke to persuade him.
