"Yunxin, what brings you here? Did Luoluo send you? How is Luoluo doing? I heard she went to the Southern Frontier with the Emperor? Is their trip to the Southern Frontier really just to quell the rebellion?" Yun Ziheng stepped forward and hurriedly asked Yunxin.
He had always known that Yun Xin was Yun Qingluo's personal maid, and a very skilled one at that. But why was she at the border? Had something happened in the capital?
Yun Xin raised her hand, signaling the other disciples of the Divine Doctor Valley to retreat outside the tent and stand guard, before bowing to Yun's father and Yun Ziheng.
"Yunxin greets the General, greets the Young Master, General Yan. It was Her Majesty the Empress who sent me to the battlefield with the disciples of the Divine Physician Valley to assist the Tianmo Kingdom's army," Yunxin said.
Yun Ziheng continued to inquire about Yun Qingluo's situation, "Is Luoluo alright in the palace? What exactly happened when they went to the Southern Frontier?"
Seeing that Yun Ziheng's tone was becoming increasingly urgent, Yun Xin hurriedly explained, "Young Master, the Emperor and Empress are doing well. They went to the frontier to quell the rebellion, that's true."
Yun Ziheng and his father exchanged a glance, both reading something unusual in each other's eyes.
Today, the Tianmo Kingdom is at war with both the Beiyue Kingdom and the Dongwu Kingdom. At such a critical moment, why is the Emperor not sitting in the palace to stabilize the situation, but instead running off to that godforsaken place to quell the rebellion?
Moreover, according to previous information, the turmoil in the southern border region is not a cause for concern, so what exactly is the purpose of the Emperor and Luo Luo going there?
Yun's father's face darkened. "Yun Xin, tell me the truth, what exactly did the Emperor and Luo Luo go there for? The Emperor could have quelled the rebellion by himself, why did he take Luo Luo with him on this dangerous journey?"
Yunxin didn't expect that her father and Yun Ziheng would become suspicious so quickly. Although people in the capital also had suspicions, they didn't show it so obviously, and they didn't even dare to ask.
She hesitated for a moment before saying, "His Majesty was worried about leaving Her Majesty the Empress alone in the palace, so he brought Her Majesty along, thinking that she would be there to look after her on the journey."
Yun Ziheng was usually very refined and easy-going, but when he heard Yun Xin's words, he couldn't help but swear, "What kind of care is this? Luo Luo is just a weak woman. Taking her along to take care of the Emperor is quite a scheme of the Emperor. We can't bear to see Luo Luo suffer even a little bit, but he is willing to."
Yunxin silently thought to herself: I'm afraid only you think the Empress is a weak woman.
But Yunxin still answered seriously, "Yunxin is not talking nonsense, please investigate thoroughly, General."
Yun's father snorted coldly, "Hmph, don't think I don't know. If you don't tell me, then you can take the people from Divine Doctor Valley and leave. Go wherever you are needed. I don't need you here."
Yunxin was anxious. If she didn't fulfill the Empress's instructions, she would definitely be punished when she returned.
Moreover, and most importantly, this is the time when the battlefield needs reinforcements the most...
"General, you mustn't act rashly. The army needs help right now. The Divine Healer Valley has sent a large quantity of medicine and provisions. We can also go to the battlefield to fight the enemy and give the army a short rest." Yun Xin knelt down and tried to reason with her father.
Yun's father turned away, ignoring her. Yun Xin looked at Yun Ziheng, only to see that he had also looked away.
Although Yunxin appeared anxious, she was secretly happy for Yun Qingluo.
The Empress's parents are so kind; they always think of her.
Yunxin hesitated for a moment before speaking firmly, "General, young master, actually... actually, there was indeed a reason why the Emperor and Empress went to the Southern Frontier."
The Empress Dowager has returned to the palace. The Emperor discovered that she harbored treacherous intentions, hence this whole charade. The Emperor intends to use this opportunity to resolve both internal strife and external threats, restoring peace and prosperity to the people.
Yunxin's words contained too much information for Yun's father and Yun Ziheng to understand at first glance.
After a long pause, Yun's father finally said in a hoarse voice, "Peace and tranquility... What a peaceful and tranquil time... So the Emperor and Empress left the palace just to give the Empress Dowager and the others a chance to slip up and be wiped out in one fell swoop?"
Yunxin nodded under pressure, "Yes, General. However, these words must not be spread, for fear that walls may have ears. That's why I didn't dare to speak at first. Please forgive me, General, and don't send us away."
She apologized in her heart, hoping that General Yun and the young master would not blame her, as she had been forced into this situation by the Empress.
The lady said that the general and the young master were having such a hard time on the battlefield, and they couldn't afford to worry about her anymore. She also promised that she would recover from her illness and then go to the battlefield to find them, so she didn't want the general and the young master to know about her condition.
Yunxin initially didn't want to agree, since her family had the right to know about the Empress's illness, but under the Empress's coercion and enticement, she had no choice but to agree.
I'm sorry, General, Young Master.
Yun Ziheng helped Yun Xin up, and said with a smile, "Yun Xin, you should have said so earlier. You made us worry for nothing."
Alright, now that the matter has been resolved, and there's no war today, Yunxin, take the disciples of Divine Healer Valley to treat the wounded soldiers. Thank you for your hard work.
"We should have let you rest, but the situation is urgent, and your arrival has been a great help. On behalf of all the soldiers of Tianmo Kingdom, I thank you and the disciples of Shenyi Valley."
Yunxin looked at her father with some trepidation. Her father nodded helplessly and waved for her to go.
"Alright, go ahead. Since Luo Luo sent you, I wouldn't dare let you leave. Otherwise, that little devil will cause me trouble again. Hurry up and go..."
"Oh, by the way, did you bring the provisions? Are they already outside?"
Yunxin stood up, nodded quickly, and answered seriously, "Yes, but large-scale transport is likely to attract attention. To prevent accidents, we can only transport it in batches. The batch we are sending now is enough for the soldiers to eat for three days. As for the horse feed, we have prepared a five-day supply. The medicine will all be delivered tonight, and we will replenish it if needed later."
