"Okay, I'll help you."

"But you need to think this through. Joining the army is not a game; it's about blood and flesh, about protecting the people."

"I know, Grandpa."

Seeing the determination in Qin Jingtai's eyes, Yang Fan understood and ignored Qin Jingtai, walking towards the Imperial Study.

Qin Jingtai, kneeling on the ground, straightened his back.

Qin Jingtai knelt outside the imperial study all afternoon, while Qin Ruoxi slumped listlessly on the table.

"Why haven't I seen Qin Jingtai all afternoon?"

Qi Sinan, sitting in his seat, looked towards Qin Jingtai's seat and, noticing that Qin Jingtai hadn't returned yet, turned to Baili Zhou beside him and asked...

"I don't know either, but since the Second Prince is here and the Third Prince isn't, he must be absent for some reason."

Qi Sinan felt increasingly uneasy, but couldn't quite put her finger on what it was, so she lowered her head and continued looking at the book on the table.

After leaving the palace school, Qi Sinan and Baili Zhou arrived at the school gate and overheard the conversation among those around them.

"I never imagined there would be war in the south now."

"Yes, this war came too quickly."

Qi Sinan stood in front of the group of people who had spoken, frowning as he asked, "What are you saying?"

"They're fighting bandits in the south."

How did you know?

Qi Sinan clearly didn't believe what the people were saying.

"It was Princess Leyang who told the Second Prince and the Third Prince; we overheard them talking from not far away."
