After Rong Chengxuan stood up, Yun Wanwan quickly got out of bed and put on her shoes. Just as Rong Chengxuan was about to leave the room, she stopped him and said, "If it really comes to the point where we have to go to war, I'll go with you."

Rong Chengxuan was stunned after hearing this. He didn't bother to think about what Yun Wanwan said, nor did he bother to change out of his wedding clothes. He hurried into the palace.

After Rong Chengxuan entered the palace, Yun Wanwan seemed to have completely decided to go to war with Rong Chengxuan. Without waiting for Rong Chengxuan to come back, she asked the housekeeper of Prince An's Mansion to start packing up the things needed for the war.

Rong Chengxuan had been to the battlefield many times, so when Yun Wanwan asked him to prepare and pack up his things first, the housekeeper went to prepare without saying a word.

Yun Wanwan was also busy. She simply packed up the boxes that were moved from her own house to Prince An's Mansion, found the things she needed from them, and asked Qingyao to put them away together.

A Kui looked at Yun Wanwan who was busy running around. Ever since she heard that Yun Wanwan was going to go to the battle with Rong Chengxuan, A Kui had been worried.

On the other side, Rong Chengxuan had already rode into the palace with Ye Lan. The sudden expedition of the Western Zhou Dynasty and the chaos on the border were already within the expectations of Rong Chengxuan and others, and even Ji Moyi had some mental preparation, but they did not expect the other side to be so fierce. When the battle report arrived, Ximen Pass was about to fall, which still surprised Rong Chengxuan a little.

If the war spread to Ximen Pass, it would mean that the southern border area had been conquered by the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the court's years of painstaking efforts would be destroyed.

When Rong Chengxuan arrived, most of the court officials had already arrived. He arrived just as the argument was getting more intense. Yun Jinjiang said indignantly in the court, "Your Majesty, I've been stationed at the border for many years and have never encountered such a big commotion. Now, even after only handing over military power for a few years, such a big commotion has occurred!"

"I know it's too late to regret now. I've already handed over my military power and there's absolutely no way I can get it back. But why is the new commander still leisurely and at ease in the capital? Even if he returned to the capital to hand over his post and resume his duties, he should have gone back to the frontier by now, not been sleeping soundly in the capital when the Western Zhou army attacked!"

"I heard General Yun's words as soon as I arrived at the palace gate, which made me fall into deep thought. I wonder if General Yun could answer one or two questions for me?" Rong Chengxuan walked into the hall in the night. He tied off his cloak and put it on his hand, and stopped in front of Yun Jinjiang.

Yun Jinjiang looked at the wedding dress on Rong Chengxuan and snorted. When he thought that his most beloved daughter was still staying in a brothel, while the girl he had abandoned since childhood was now living a better life than any other woman in the capital, he became angry and naturally spoke to Rong Chengxuan in a sarcastic tone.

"I thought Prince An was going to spend the night with his bride and groom and wasn't planning to show up. I never thought he would be so concerned about state affairs that he would abandon his beautiful wife and come to the palace on his wedding night. It's truly an honor for us to have such a dedicated regent like him!"

"General Yun has raised a good daughter. As soon as I said I wanted to enter the palace, Yun Wanwan immediately kicked me out. She even refused to let me change out of my wedding clothes, saying that state affairs should be prioritized. So, Your Majesty, I think you won't mind me entering the palace in wedding clothes, right?"

Ji Mo, who had been pretending to be dead all night, immediately responded when he heard Rong Chengxuan calling him, "Of course I don't mind. Just like General Yun said, it's an honor to have a minister like Prince An who serves the people and always puts state affairs first. It's an honor for me, the people, and even more so for Beichen!"

Rong Chengxuan waved his hand, signaling Ji Moyi not to continue. He had put aside his wedding night and hurried into the palace not to listen to Yun Jinjiang's sarcastic remarks, nor to listen to Ji Moyi's flattery.

Yun Jinjiang's expression was clearly irritated by Rong Chengxuan's recent rebuke. He was still boasting about raising a good daughter, but wasn't Rong Chengxuan constantly scolding him? Rong Chengxuan didn't need to remind him of Yun Wanwan's upbringing; anyone present with a wife or a mother had undoubtedly been dragged into the gossip.

Now Rong Chengxuan is praising him in front of so many people, but if you think about it carefully, it is not just that, he is scolding Yun Jinjiang in disguise.

Rong Chengxuan looked at Yun Jinjiang with a frown, as if he wasn't going to let him go so easily. "General Yun said he's been stationed at the border for many years without causing any trouble. This makes me curious. How does General Yun explain the Western Zhou Dynasty's expedition less than six months after handing over the border military power?"

"This..." Yun Jinjiang hesitated, looking at Rong Chengxuan with no confidence. After a while, he turned away with a guilty look. But when he thought about how Rong Chengxuan was still a baby who knew nothing when he handed over the military power, and even the person sitting on the throne was not Ji Moyi, what right did Rong Chengxuan have to accuse him? As long as he insisted that he knew nothing, it would be fine.

Thinking of this, Yun Jinjiang calmed down and regained his confidence. "By that time, I had already returned from the frontier and even returned the military power. The late emperor also sent other generals to the frontier. If Your Highness wants to raise an army to question me, he should go to General Pei who was sent there at that time."

"Oh? General Yun, do you really think I'm easy to fool? Or is General Yun so old and confused that he can't even remember what he did over a decade ago?"

Rong Chengxuan pressed on, showing no intention of letting Yun Jinjiang go. "Some things can't be hidden well by General Yun. If General Yun doesn't mind, I can have a good talk with you about what happened back then."

Yun Jinjiang was stunned, but quickly recovered. He was convinced that Rong Chengxuan was trying to retaliate. Even the late emperor hadn't thoroughly investigated the matter, so how could Rong Chengxuan, a young man who had only ascended to the position of regent a few years ago, possibly investigate it thoroughly?

But regardless of whether Rong Chengxuan had found out the truth or knew what happened back then, when he said this, it completely aroused the curiosity of the remaining ministers about what exactly happened back then.

Yun Jinjiang saw that the other ministers were looking at him with increasingly strange eyes. Fortunately, Rong Chengxuan was going to let Yun Jinjiang go after he said all this, otherwise Yun Jinjiang was really afraid that Rong Chengxuan would say something without thinking.

Rong Chengxuan crossed the Yunjin River and stood in the middle of the hall. "Your Majesty, I have volunteered to go to war. I will not return to the capital until the rebellion on the border is quelled!"
