Mu Qingqing knew her aunt's character well. As a descendant of a military family, she had been influenced by her grandfather since childhood. She and her mother had always been as brave as men. Now that Yuezhou was facing a disaster, her aunt would certainly not abandon the people and flee to Qizhou alone.
"Aunt, grandpa and cousin are not here right now, so let Qingqing accompany you to Yuzhou." Mu Qingqing pleaded.
Concubine Zhang stroked her hair and shook her head, saying, "Qingqing, you are the only daughter of the Dingyuan Marquisate. Your mother is in a dire situation in the northern border. I cannot let you take any more risks. You must go to Qizhou."
After that, she pushed Fu Yunni in front of her and warned her in a deep voice: "Your cousin is not here, and A Ni still needs someone to take care of her."
Fu Yunni burst into tears: "Mother, A Ni will go with you."
"Ani, be obedient and set off immediately to Qizhou with your cousin." Concubine Zhang made up her mind and jumped on her warhorse and rode away with her men.
Mu Qingqing picked up the little one and kept comforting him. Seeing that everyone was at a loss, Chu Yin immediately said, "Qingqing, the most urgent thing is for us to rush to Qizhou as soon as possible and ask Zhao Changshi to send troops to support Yuzhou."
"Yes, Anni, let's go to Qizhou quickly. As long as we can get my uncle to send troops as soon as possible, we will be able to defend Yuzhou."
As soon as Mu Qingqing finished speaking, Fu Yunni stopped crying, wiped her tears quickly, went over and pulled Gu Qingmian and Gu Tingji towards the carriage.
"Sister Princess, did Tingji and I cause you any trouble?"
Ever since he learned that his second brother led troops to attack Yuezhou, Gu Qingmian has been very uneasy.
Sitting upright in the carriage, the brother and sister stared at Fu Yunni and Mu Qingqing.
Fu Yunni quickly shook her head: "Sister Mian, Brother Ji, you don't have to be afraid. A Ni will definitely not hand you over to that devil."
Mu Qingqing guessed that Gu Tingchen wanted to use the siblings to threaten Sister Wan, so she comforted him, "Qingmian, Tingji, your cousin finally got you out of Lin'an. All you have to do now is stay in Yuezhou peacefully and don't think about anything."
The brother and sister nodded obediently, but when they thought of their mother and cousin, Gu Tingji couldn't help crying.
"Sister, I miss my cousin and mother. I don't know how they are doing now." Gu Tingji said with a sob.
"They will be fine." Mu Qingqing wiped his tears and comforted him softly for a long time before calming Gu Tingji down.
The group rushed to Qizhou without stopping, not daring to rest for a moment along the way, just to reach Qizhou as soon as possible.
Meanwhile, in the Qizhou Pacification Commissioner's Mansion, Yu Bai had been coming to the General's Mansion for quite some time, trying to persuade Fu Yu'e with both soft and hard tactics, but Fu Yu'e remained unmoved. She only stopped Zhao Yun from leading troops to the rescue on the pretext of guarding against pirates.
Yu Bai really had no other choice but to come with all his generals to ask for orders.
"Princess, please send troops to Yuzhou immediately," Yu Bai said angrily. "Your Highness is currently engaged in bloody battles with the Yuezhou army in Lin'an and the northern border. If the Concubine Dowager or the Princess suffers any mishap, how can the Princess face the old prince's spirit in heaven?"
"What a joke! Didn't Yan Jin take people back to Yuezhou to pick up his sister-in-law and niece? Why did he need to mobilize troops from Qizhou?"
Fu Yu'e snorted disdainfully, "Yu Bai, don't think I dare not kill you. Back then, that bastard Ming Chi drove our family to Qizhou, but he forced his uncle to sign a military order, asking him to defend Qizhou to the death. If Qizhou is lost, can you afford it?"
Zhao Yun was also a little anxious listening to this: "Madam, if the Second Son of the Gu family really leads his troops to invade Yuezhou, there are no soldiers left in Yuezhou right now. Yuezhou is thousands of miles away from Qizhou. We should send some people to pick up my sister-in-law."
"What could possibly happen to her?" Fu Yu'e angrily scolded, "Ming Chi has always been a powerful figure, but he can't handle Gu Tingchen? Would he allow that bastard to run wild in Yuezhou?"
"But Ming Chi only brought 3,000 men with him to Lin'an. It was already a great achievement for him to succeed in defending the king. How can he resist the Gu family's troops marching south?" Zhao Yun urged earnestly, "Even if that girl from the Ye family is worrying too much, this matter concerns the safety of millions of people in Yuezhou. We cannot afford to be careless."
"Zhao Yun, I think you have also been bewitched by that bitch."
Fu Yu'e became more and more angry as she listened. "She said that Gu Tingchen would lead troops to attack Yuezhou, so we have to listen to her? I think she has bad intentions. She knows that it is not easy for us to defend Qizhou, so she deliberately asked you to lead the troops to leave Qizhou to give the pirates an opportunity. If Qizhou is lost, she will let Mingchi punish our family. In this way, Yingying will be completely disliked by Mingchi."
"How could Miss Ye be so scheming?" Yu Bai was speechless. "The Princess is only focused on arranging a marriage between my cousin and Your Highness. Has she ever truly considered Your Highness? Miss Ye, on the other hand, always puts herself in Your Highness's shoes and considers his best interests."
Zhao Yingying felt a little embarrassed after hearing this.
I thought Ye Wanshu had completely abandoned her cousin this time, but I didn't expect that she would risk her life to help her cousin defend the king.
Thinking carefully about it, she had been with her cousin for so many years, except for being willful and asking for things, and she really didn't help her cousin at all.
"mother."
She tried to persuade her mother, but just as she opened her mouth, she was blocked by Fu Yu'e's eyes: "Are you going to be foolish too? Do you still want to marry your cousin?"
Just when everyone in the room was feeling embarrassed, Mu Qingqing and Yan Jin rushed in with their men.
After hearing what the princess had just said, Mu Qingqing pleaded patiently, "Aunt, Sister Wan's words were true. Prince Daoan has already occupied Huizhou and is leading 20,000 elite cavalry straight to Yuzhou. My aunt has already gone to defend the city. Please send the troops immediately."
"What? Mrs. Wang led her own people to resist the Gu family army?"
