Upon learning of the tragic death of the fifth prince, the emperor was affected emotionally and physically, and his health, which had improved after recovery, began to deteriorate again.

Concubine Li stayed to treat the emperor again, while Jun Baozhu continued to be cared for by the empress.

After waking up from the Queen's arms, Jun Baozhu learned that her father had a high fever all night and her mother had stayed by his side the whole night, and was very worried.

[Father, not only is he worried about the Fifth Prince, but he is also worried about the Ninth Prince and the war situation in the west?]

[The eldest prince of the Dragon and Tiger Kingdom is the regent. He was able to take advantage of the situation and execute the second prince. Is he a ruthless character? ]

[Maybe, he is lying in wait now, waiting for Da Feng and Nan Chi to be defeated, and then he will take a piece of Da Feng's flesh? ]

[Not to mention the Nan Chi Kingdom. Although Aunt Gui is completely dead, no one knows where the witch doctor is hiding. Although the Nan Chi Kingdom has no resistance now, as long as she is there, it will always be a serious threat! ]

[The Xiangshan Kingdom reported the matter behind the scenes and did not openly cause a conflict, but it was obvious that they also had bad intentions.]

[If it weren't for the prince, who had the foresight to help him secure his position...]

[Otherwise, the Lion Country is controlled by Zhui Tuo, and with the addition of Sieg, the general, the chief eunuch and others, don't expect them to do good things! ]

[At least for now, Zhui Gu will not attack us, and can even help contain the Dragon and Tiger Kingdom...]

[Otherwise, we will be surrounded by enemies on all sides1]

The queen was completely awake when she heard the noise.

Then I heard Jun Baozhu's inner voice, and continued:

[Brother Crown Prince did not sleep all night last night. After discussing with the Grand Commandant, he sent a letter to mobilize 30,000 soldiers from the East Recruiting Army to support Brother Ninth Prince? ]

【Very good!】

Jun Baozhu wanted to clap her hands.

[What? These 30,000 people, walking without sleep, will take at least a month to arrive? ]

[This means that the Ninth Prince needs to lead 10,000 guards and less than 10,000 scattered soldiers along the line to resist the 120,000 Pingxi Army and hold out for a month? ]

The Queen looked nervous. She was naturally aware of the situation, but she didn't want to put pressure on the Prince, so she didn't ask any more questions.

[Brother Prince has issued an order requiring the Pingxi Army to evacuate the people from ten counties along the route? ]

[How many people does that require?]

【What? One million people?】

[Is this because the west is barren, sparsely populated, and has a small permanent population? If it were a larger county town in the south, would there be a population of over a million? ]

[So many people? When do we have to move? ]

[The message was sent quickly over 800 miles away. It has already been passed on to the county town where the people were to be relocated, and the surrounding county towns responsible for receiving the people have also received it.]

Jun Baozhu's delicate brows were tightly furrowed.

Millions of people will have to leave their hometowns. Once the war spreads, perhaps their property and real estate, which they have worked hard for generations, will be destroyed in an instant...

Although Jun Baozhu was only a teenager, she could still understand the difficulties involved.

As if the system sensed Jun Baozhu's worries, the information it revealed next made Jun Baozhu both moved and sad.

[After receiving the news, the ten county governments discussed the relocation plan and went out in full force, asking the heads of each neighborhood to visit households and mobilize the people to pack up valuables and food. Time was running out, so they had to leave immediately.]

[The ten counties surrounding the ten counties that will receive the victims are also recruiting civilians, clearing out spaces, setting up tents, and cleaning up abandoned temples and mountains. After confirming safety, they are also collecting food, clothing, medicine, etc. to prepare for the reception.]

[In less than half a day, you have already done so many things? 】

Jun Baozhu was shocked.

[At the beginning, my father had a hard time in the court and it was difficult to implement good policies...]

[Look at it now, our Dafeng still has hope! ]

After the system explained, Jun Baozhu deeply agreed with it.

[Indeed, as long as the cancer is eradicated and the court is clean and upright, there will still be many officials who want to do practical things for the people! ]

[After my father replaced the officials in the Ministry of Personnel, they replaced the grassroots officials within ten days of taking office. Now, almost all the county magistrates in these counties in the west have been replaced? ]

[So, this also reflects the results of the Ministry of Personnel, no, the emperor's strengthening of the administration of officials? ]

[If they were all like this, caring about the people as if they were their own parents and brothers, would the emperor feel more at ease if he knew? ]

[Where is the Ninth Prince's brother? He also got the news, right? How is he now? ]

[I learned about the secret orders from the Crown Prince, which were passed down one by one. I feel very proud. But is the pressure really great? 】

[Of course! What is the Ninth Prince going to do? What if the Pingxi Army launches an attack? ]

Suddenly, a palace servant's voice was heard outside the door, reporting that the emperor had woken up and wanted to see the queen and the little princess...

The emperor had a fever for a day and a night, and when he woke up he asked for an audience. The empress knew that the emperor wanted to get news from the front line through Junbo Baozhu.

When I arrived at the Yangxin Palace, I saw that the emperor looked much more haggard after only one day, sitting weakly against the bed...

Jun Baozhu's mouth pursed, and her bright eyes suddenly became dull, with worry visible to the naked eye.

【Father...】

Jun Baozhu's voice was filled with tears and her eyes were red.

When the emperor saw this, he waved to the queen apologetically, motioning her to hold Jun Baozhu and sit down.

Because he smelled of medicine, he was worried that it would stink Jun Baozhu, so he resisted the urge to hug her.

The Queen went straight to the point and learned that the Emperor had already asked the Prince about the deployments and arrangements he had made. The Queen then told the Emperor Jun Baozhu's thoughts and the situation on the front line that she had just revealed.

The emperor was indeed somewhat relieved, but he could not hide his self-blame.

Jun Baozhu couldn't hear the content of the conversation because it involved her inner thoughts. When the conversation was over, she could clearly see the emperor's expression.

【Father looks very sad...】

Jun Baozhu’s inner voice emerged.

[Rather than feeling sad, should I blame myself? ]

[Father thinks that the root cause of this chaos lies with Nan Chi and the Great Witch Doctor...]

[Even if she pretended to be a witch doctor, Father felt that he condoned her? ]

[When my grandfather was alive, his ability was far inferior to that of my father, and he had many problems. He was in office for nearly 30 years, but he did not cause any war...]

[But it broke out when Father was in office, so Father felt very guilty? ]

【but......】

Jun Baozhu's voice was clear and crisp.

[Why doesn’t your father think positively? Since all the problems accumulated since your grandfather’s reign, they will explode sooner or later...]

[Why not take advantage of this opportunity to resolve the issue once and for all and give the prince a brighter future? ]

The emperor coughed violently, and Concubine Li went forward to check.

After the emperor calmed down, he looked at Jun Baozhu. Sure enough, the light reappeared in his eyes and he showed a relieved expression.

At this moment, Jun Baozhu's attention was completely occupied by the sea of consciousness system.

[What? Ninth Prince is preparing to launch a surprise attack? ]
