In the imperial study.
The emperor sat behind his desk, his face showing unconcealable fatigue.
She looked at Mo Qin before she slowly spoke.
"Many ministers in the court believe that you should be sent to lead the troops to repel the Kingdom of Yue. What do you think?"
The daughter standing before him was the most outstanding among the imperial daughters in terms of strategy and character.
It was just because she was the youngest that they treated her more leniently.
She didn't even earn any merit.
After being in power for many years, she has become more open-minded. To be in charge of government, one does not necessarily have to be a good fighter.
It's enough to know how to identify and assign people to the right positions, understand how to weigh the pros and cons, and be able to control your subordinates.
But she overlooked one thing.
Those military generals who have always dominated the civil officials may not be able to accept this result calmly.
Ever since someone put forward this suggestion, more people have been holding on to it.
The emperor thought about it for a long time and felt that now was a good opportunity.
By the way, she can also see whether this daughter is really good enough to inherit her empire.
Having said that, how could Mo Qin refuse?
She cupped her hands and said, "I will definitely fulfill your mission!"
The emperor nodded approvingly and was about to speak when he suddenly coughed twice. The voice of a maid came from outside the door, and then someone came in with a bowl of medicine.
The bitter smell of medicine drifted in the air along with the rising mist.
"Your Majesty, please administer the medicine."
Mo Qin glanced at the bowl of medicine. The dark medicine soup swayed slightly, forming a sharp contrast with the white jade porcelain bowl.
The emperor took out the small spoon and drank the medicine in one gulp.
She smacked her lips without even frowning.
The emperor let out a breath and continued the previous topic.
"Have you thought it through? If you don't win this battle, what will you face?"
Those people will definitely seize the opportunity and find ways to pull Mo Qin down from this position.
Even if Mo Qin can finally take her place, it will be an indelible stain.
"Mother Queen, no one would support a crown prince who fled in the face of battle. Moreover, if I failed to repel the Yue army, how could I protect the people of Dawn?"
This is exactly what the emperor meant.
Naturally, she didn't refute, but nodded instead.
"In that case, I will wait for your triumphant return."
Mo Qin walked out of the study and seemed to hear the emperor coughing again.
The maid who had just delivered the medicine bowed and turned into the study.
Mo Qin walked towards the exit of the palace.
Wait for her triumphant return.
Mo Yang went to great lengths to get her to the border, and I'm afraid he won't let go of this opportunity.
It is hard to say whether the emperor can live to that time.
-
Qin Yu's face darkened when he heard the news.
"Your Highness, are you really going to the border?"
Since you know that Mo Yang is not dead and may be the mastermind behind the invasion of Yue State, how can Your Highness feel at ease to go to the border?
Who knows what kind of trap Mo Yang has set there.
Mo Qin flipped through the scroll without looking up, "The Queen Mother has made up her mind. There's no room for rebuttal."
It’s better to be more proactive and see what surprise Mo Yang has prepared.
I hope I don't disappoint her.
Mo Yang has always acted like a playboy and has never been to the battlefield himself. The only advantage he has is his understanding of his own country, which led to his betrayal.
In such a hasty and large-scale plan, there are bound to be many loopholes.
Qin Yu knew that His Highness had to go, so he said nothing more.
When she left the study, she saw Jiang Yanning standing at the door.
"Meet the princess?"
Jiang Yanning didn't know how long he had been standing outside, but it was obvious that he hadn't just arrived.
He looked indifferent as he took the food box from the servant and walked into the house.
"Your Highness, are you going to the border?"
Jiang Yanning asked bluntly, without any awareness of eavesdropping.
Mo Qin put down the letter in her hand, her eyes sliding across the food box and falling on Jiang Yanning.
"The Kingdom of Yue invaded our border, and the Queen Mother sent me there."
Jiang Yanning put the food box on the table and said, "Can't I not go? You are the princess, how could the emperor..."
There are many generals in the court and the third princess is also in the capital, so this matter will not fall on Mo Qin.
Mo Qin said it easily
"If they want me to go, then I'll go."
Mo Qin took out the contents of the food box, which was a bowl of soup.
Jiang Yanning silently served the soup to Mo Qin overnight. Mo Qin saw that there seemed to be some medicinal herbs in the soup.
The soup is fresh and rich, with a unique medicinal fragrance.
"You made this yourself?"
Jiang Yanning sat on the soft couch beside him, supporting his chin and watching Mo Qin drink soup.
"No?"
Mo Qin laughed, "Okay, why not."
"Is it delicious?"
"It's delicious. This is the best soup I've ever had."
Jiang Yanning suppressed the corner of his mouth that was about to turn up, "Tsk! Slippery tongue!"
"What I said is true. This cooking skill is much better than that of the chef in the mansion."
Jiang Yanning felt a little shy after being praised. His earlobes were stained with a thin layer of powder, and he looked at the girl intently.
It's like a dream.
Did he steal this kind of life?
Mo Qin drank the soup before instructing, "I'll leave Qin Yu with me when the time comes. Tell her if anything happens. If you encounter any emergency... just protect yourself and don't worry about anything else."
Jiang Yanning lowered the corners of his mouth and listened quietly to Mo Qin's arrangements.
Every word and sentence reveals the unusual nature of this expedition.
"By the way, is your master still in the capital?"
The old man studied Jiang Yanrong for a while, but finally stopped looking.
