Without a second thought, Princess Huyang refused outright, “I don’t care whether Prince Yanping and the others go to the battlefield or not. You stay in the capital and patrol the city.”
A mother worries when her son travels a thousand miles, let alone when he goes to a battlefield where he may not return alive.
The disappearance of the Prince of Cheng and the serious illness of the Empress Dowager were enough to worry her. Sending her son to the border would keep her on tenterhooks every day. Wouldn't that be killing her?
