Just as the family was having a lively time, a guard from the Yun family arrived, saying he was looking for Li Mai.
Zhou Quan quickly accompanied Li Mai outside to meet the guards.
"Miss, son-in-law, the prince has sent a letter for you."
Li Mai took it, opened it, and saw that it was her elder brother's handwriting.
After reading it, Li Mai's heart sank.
The war was nearing its end, but Zhong Hui and the Crown Prince were seriously injured. King Yun hoped she could go to the State of Chen to treat Zhong Hui and the Crown Prince.
Even riding through the night, it would take more than a month to get from here to the State of Chen.
Considering the time it took for the guards to return, they must have been injured at least a month ago.
Since her elder brother sent someone back to invite her, it shouldn't be a life-threatening illness.
Li Mai pondered for a moment, then said to Zhou Quan, "Go and invite Elder Yang for me. We'll go back to the manor to discuss this."
Zhou Quan agreed, went inside to say goodbye to his parents, and then left.
Li Mai went in to comfort the three children, telling them to stay at their grandmother's house for the day. She then told the two elders and Lu Qian and Zhou Tao that she had to go back for something, and then quickly took the guard back with her.
Along the way, she also learned about the current battle situation.
The eldest brother attacked the State of Chen, conquering and annexing along the way. The war began in March, and by the end of June, he was not far from the capital. However, the remaining territory of the State of Chen became difficult to conquer.
The Crown Prince and Zhong Hui were seriously injured in an ambush.
Li Mai was puzzled because Zhong Hui had a phoenix by his side, so why couldn't the phoenix save the Crown Prince and Zhong Hui?
But looking at the guards, there was no way to ask them this question; the guards certainly wouldn't know.
Now she is hoping that Old Yang can take her directly to Chen State to find her elder brother and the others.
Otherwise, with the Mid-Autumn Festival approaching, this is Zhou Heng and his team's first fashion show this year. If she isn't there to oversee things, they might feel uncertain.
Many posts were published, and those people came because of the promises made by me and my sister-in-law. I must deliver on my promise to them for this first year of attracting traffic.
