Bai Shu's life was also very fulfilling. She surveyed the terrain of the Northern Desert with the system while collecting information about the Northern Desert royal family.

After all, only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle.

At the same time, she was also hesitating about how to tell Jiang and the others about this matter.

If you put yourself in their shoes, this is probably your unmarried daughter, going out to play with the Regent, a stranger, right?

She was overwhelmed just thinking about it, not to mention whether Jiang would agree...

Until she came up with a good idea, which was to ask her second brother to help cover for her!

"Grandma, Dad, Mom, Big Brother, Big Sister-in-law, Ziyi, I might have to follow my second brother's team and go to the north in a while."

Zhuge's magic crossbow was almost ready, so Bai Shu discussed it with Bai Zirong in advance.

This time, while he was resting, I simply told Jiang and others about the matter.

However, when Bai Shu said this, everyone in the Bai family could no longer sit still. Jiang was the first to speak and asked,

"Shu'er, why do you want to go to the north?"

Jiang was so surprised that she even lost her appetite for the food in front of her.

She could see that Bai Shu was becoming more and more independent in her actions, but this inexplicable sentence made her a little confused.

"Mother, actually, Her Royal Highness the Princess wants to travel to the northern counties, and she wants her daughter to accompany her."

"Besides, the Regent happens to have government affairs to attend to and can protect us."

"Plus, my second brother will be leaving for the border soon, and I thought it would be convenient for him to go there, so his safety can be guaranteed."

Bai Shu explained the whole story in one breath, of course, some of it was true and some was false.

She knew that the Bai family treated her well and was willing to believe in her and support her.

But she didn't tell the truth because she didn't want to make them worry.

After all, the relationship between Beimo and Dongye is still tense, and the people of the two countries will not easily set foot in each other's territory.

"Is it Her Royal Highness the Princess?"

"Your Highness has met the wrong person, but she is truly a very courageous person. She may want to go out and relax, so it would be nice if you could accompany her."

"Just be sure to be safe!"

"Will you be away for a long time this time?"

Jiang couldn't help but start rambling again, leaving no time for Bai Heng and the others to interrupt.

But what she said was exactly what everyone wanted to say.

"At the fastest, it will take one or two months, at the slowest, two or three months. We are just in time to finish the prince's case, so that we can travel together more safely."

Bai Shu calculated the time. If there were no delays on the road, it would take at least a month to reach the border, and another month to reach Wuliang Cliff.

Even if the return trip can be made in a straight line, it will take at least three or four months, but at least I can get back before New Year's Eve.

"Will it take that long?"

"Have you decided on a specific date? I need to quickly prepare some things for you to take with you on the journey."

"The weather in the north is different from that in Beijing. It changes very quickly, and the temperature difference between day and night is huge. You should always bring more thick clothes."

Bai Shu had never been away from home for such a long time, and Jiang was a little overwhelmed.

But she did not forget to prepare money for Bai Shu's journey and not let her precious daughter down.

When Bai Shu heard this, she was undoubtedly moved, but she would not be short of these material possessions.

"Mother, we're only traveling for sightseeing, so we don't need to bring too much. And, mother, have you forgotten? His Highness's fiefdom is in Shule. How could we possibly be short of food and clothing?"

Princess Dongye was given the title of Shule, and her fiefdom was in the northern Shule County.

Although it was an empty title, it was still the eldest princess's territory after all, so Jiang felt more at ease.

But Bai Heng and Bai Zixuan are not easy to fool.

"Shu'er, it's good to go out and see the world, but the world is not peaceful right now, especially along the northern border."

"Shule is very close to the border. Do you really want to go there? The journey is long and arduous, and I'm afraid it will take a month or two to return."

Bai Heng saw through his daughter's thoughts at a glance and knew that she was not telling the truth.

However, this involves the eldest princess and the regent. It is estimated that they have already discussed it, and it is useless for him to stop them.

The thoughtful Bai Zixuan also asked,

"The court hasn't mentioned any cases in the north recently. Is the Regent really on his way?"

Bai Zixuan said as he glanced at Bai Zirong who was eating heartlessly.

I felt so disappointed in myself that I thought this stupid boy had been blinded by admiration.

He has always taken the Regent as his role model since he was a child. Now that his own sister is about to be kidnapped, he is still helping to cover for her!

"Don't worry, Daddy. We'll follow Second Brother's team. Even if it's late, at least we'll be safe."

"As for the prince, perhaps it's because of the recent turmoil in Dongye and Beimo that he has a case to investigate. I'm not too sure about the specific details."

Bai Shu said vaguely that it was not a good time to tell the Bai family about her and Xiao Moqing's affairs.

If this trip to the Northern Desert could help Xiao Moqing detoxify, and she didn't leave,

Then, I should be able to say...

"Actually, His Highness originally wanted my sister-in-law to go with me, but he couldn't bear to disturb my sister-in-law and my brother, the newlyweds, so he only called me."

Bai Shu added a sentence immediately afterwards, which both reassured Liu Ruyin and teased her elder brother.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Bai Zixuan glanced at his shy wife beside him and stopped pestering her.

Because he was worried that if he continued to talk, his wife would run away with his sister...

"That's right. No wonder the Emperor has been personally handling most of the court affairs lately. I guess His Majesty wants to gradually delegate power."

"The Emperor is about to turn fifteen, and he's becoming more and more like an emperor."

Bai Hengxin understood that the Regent had made preparations long ago.

He let the young emperor take charge of government affairs in advance, and when he was proficient, it would not be a problem for the regent to leave the capital for a few months.

But he suddenly realized that Bai Zirong was going to the border. Was there going to be a big move in the army?

"Zi Rong, was the order for you to leave the city issued directly by the Regent?"

Bai Heng, as the prime minister of the dynasty, did not know about this.

"Dad, you finally remembered me!"

Bai Zirong finally waited until Bai Heng focused his attention on him.

He put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth, and explained,

"We were secretly preparing a batch of weapons before, so no one in the court knew about it."

"Now that the weapons are almost finished, the prince said it's time to go to the border and intimidate Beimo!"

Bai Zirong contributed the blueprints for Zhuge's magic crossbow, but did not receive the credit.

Because he wants to make a name for himself with his own abilities.

"You kid, why didn't you tell me such a big thing earlier!"

"Even if you're not allowed to talk about weapons, you should at least inform your family before going to the battlefield!"

Jiang Shi also just realized that her second son Bai Zirong was about to go to the battlefield.

The battlefield is no joke. If you are not careful, you may lose your life.

She only said that she favored girls over boys, but in reality, all four of her children were her own flesh and blood.

How can I not feel sad!
