In the imperial study room.
The emperor sat behind the desk with unconcealable fatigue on his face.
She looked at Mo Qin and then slowly spoke:
"Many ministers in the court believe that you should be sent to lead the army to repel the Yue Kingdom. What do you think?"
The daughter standing in front of her was the most outstanding among the royal daughters in terms of strategy and character.
Just because she was the youngest, I was a little more lenient with her.
It didn't allow her to earn any merit.
After being in power for many years, she has become more open-minded. Being in charge of government affairs does not necessarily mean you need to be a good fighter.
It's enough to be able to know people well, know how to balance, and be able to control the ministers under your command.
But she neglected something.
Those military generals who have always put pressure on civil servants may not necessarily accept this result calmly.
Ever since someone proposed this idea, more and more people have clung to it.
The emperor thought for a long time and felt that now was an opportunity.
By the way, she can also see if this daughter is really good enough to inherit her legacy.
Speaking of which, Mo Qin could not refuse.
She cupped her hands and said, "I will live up to my command!"
The emperor nodded approvingly, and just as he was about to speak, he suddenly coughed twice. The voice of a maid came from outside the door, and then someone came in carrying a night's medicinal soup.
The bitter medicinal smell floats in the air with the rising mist.
"Your Majesty, please take medicine."
Mo Qin glanced at the bowl of medicine. The dark medicinal soup swayed slightly, forming a strong contrast with the white jade-like porcelain bowl.
The emperor took out the small spoon and drank the medicine in one gulp.
She smacked her lips without even frowning.
The emperor let out a breath and continued the topic.
"Have you thought clearly? If you don't win this battle, what will you face?"
Those people will definitely seize the opportunity and try to pull Mo Qin down from this position.
Even if Mo Qin can take her position in the end, this will be an indelible stain.
"Mother, no one will support a prince who escapes in battle. Besides, if my son fails to repel the Yue army, how can he protect the people of Liming."
This is exactly what the emperor meant.
Of course she didn't refute, but nodded.
"In that case, I will wait for your triumphant return."
Mo Qin walked out of the study and seemed to hear the emperor's cough again.
The maid who had just delivered the medicine was blessed and turned around to enter the study.
Mo Qin stepped up and walked in the direction of leaving the palace.
Wait for her triumphant return.
Mo Yang tried his best to get her to the border, and he was afraid that he would not miss this opportunity.
Whether the emperor can survive until that time is hard to say.
-
Qin Hao's face darkened when he heard the news.
"Your Highness, do you really want to go to the border??"
Now that he knows that Mo Yang is not dead and may be the driving force behind the Yue invasion, how can His Highness go to the border with peace of mind.
Who knows what kind of trap Mo Yang has laid out there.
Mo Qin turned over the slips without raising his head, "The Queen Mother has made up her mind, there is no room for rebuttal."
It's better to be more active and take a look at what surprises Mo Yang has prepared.
I hope I don't disappoint her.
Mo Yang has always acted as a playboy and has never been to the battlefield in person. The advantage he has is relying on his understanding of his own country and collaborating with the enemy.
There are always many flaws in setting up such a big game in a hurry.
Qin Hao knew that His Highness had to go, so he said nothing more.
She exited the study and saw Jiang Yanning standing at the door.
"See the queen."
Jiang Yanning didn't know how long she had been standing outside, but it was obvious that she had not just arrived.
With a calm expression, he took the food box from the waiter's hand and walked into the house.
"Your Highness, are you going to the border?"
Jiang Yanning asked bluntly, without any sense of eavesdropping.
Mo Qin put down the letter in his hand, and his eyes slid across the food box and landed on Jiang Yanning.
"The Yue Kingdom invaded the border, and the Queen Mother sent me to go there."
Jiang Yanning put the food box on the table, "Can't you not go? You are the princess, how could the emperor..."
Many generals in the court and the three princesses are also in the capital, so this matter cannot be blamed on Mo Qin.
Mo Qin said it very easily:
"If they want me to go, then I will go."
Mo Qin took out the contents of the food box, which was a cup of soup.
Jiang Yanning served Mo Qin in silence all night, and Mo Qin saw that there seemed to be some medicinal materials in the soup.
The soup is fresh and rich, with a unique medicinal fragrance.
"Did you make it yourself?"
Jiang Yanning sat on the couch beside her, holding her chin up and watching Mo Qin drink the soup.
"Can't you?"
Mo Qin laughed, "Okay, why not."
"tasty?"
"It's delicious. This is the best soup I've ever tasted."
Jiang Yanning suppressed the corners of her mouth that couldn't help but curl up, "Hey! Smooth talk!"
"Everything I said is true. This skill is much better than the chef in the house."
Jiang Yanning was a little shy after being praised. His earlobes were stained with a thin layer of pink, and he looked at the girl intently.
Like a dream.
Was this kind of life stolen from him?
After Mo Qin drank the soup, he warned: "I will leave Qin Hao behind and tell her if I need anything. If there is any emergency...just protect yourself, don't worry about anything else."
Jiang Yanning lowered the corners of his mouth and listened quietly to Mo Qin's arrangements.
Every word and every word revealed that this expedition was unusual.
"By the way, is your master still in the capital?"
The old man studied Jiang Yanrong for a while, but finally stopped looking.
At first, you could occasionally see him hanging around the house, but in the past few days, there has been no trace of him.
Jiang Yanning didn't know why Mo Qin asked this.
"Probably still there."
The old man likes to drink. If he hasn't shown up for a few days, he may have gone drinking somewhere.
Mo Qin thought for two seconds, "Do you have a way to contact him? I have something to ask him."
Jiang Yanning has a special way of contacting the old man.
After hearing what Mo Qin said, of course he would not refuse and immediately went to contact the old man.
Jiang Yanning stood up and took two steps outside. Then he thought of something and stopped. "Your Highness, you don't have to leave Qin Hao behind. I can do it myself."
"Only by ensuring your safety can I do anything else with peace of mind." Mo Qin insisted.
"Or do you want to go to the border with me?"
Jiang Yanning's eyes widened, obviously frightened by these words.
She has to take a man with her to fight, and the court officials and people don't know how they will arrange her.
He shook his head quickly, "I'm not going, then let Qin Hao... stay."
"okay."
-
The old man only came over on the third day.
He held a wine flask in his hand, shaking the wine in it with saliva.
I don't know if it was because I saw Mo Qin that I couldn't bear to drink it, or if I was reluctant to drink it.
The old man was out of shape, leaning crookedly on the railing. He glanced at Mo Qin with his peripheral vision.
"My dear disciple said, do you have anything to do with me?"
Mo Qin didn't have any airs and spoke straight to the point, "I have something to do and I would like to ask senior for help."
The old man's eyes turned to Mo Qin's face before he said:
"tell me the story."
