He knew that unless it was something extremely urgent, no one would recklessly knock on his door on his wedding night.
"What's wrong?"
"Your Highness, something terrible has happened!"
Jin Jinzhi noticed a slight change in Jin Jinzhi's expression. He glanced back at Yun Duoduo on the bed and gently closed the door.
The voices outside the door grew fainter and fainter, and Yun Duoduo could no longer hear them clearly, so she simply fell asleep again.
...
Jin Jinzhi led Cao Canjun to a side hall and asked him what had happened.
Cao, the military advisor, was soaked to the bone by the rain. He wiped the rain off his face, ignoring the chill in his body, and said anxiously, "Your Highness, Jiangning has rebelled. Eunuch Zhao has arrived with an imperial decree. His Majesty has ordered the Zhenbei Army to go to its aid."
Jin Jinzhi frowned. "Why today of all days?"
"Ah, who can argue with that? Unfortunately, the court just doesn't have a suitable person."
"His Majesty said that the Prince of Military Cavalry can be mobilized at will, and he should go and return as soon as possible."
Military Advisor Cao recounted everything he had heard to Jin Jinzhi.
Jin Jinzhi pondered for a moment.
He clenched his fist and instructed Cao, the military advisor: "Go to the Zhenbei military camp to gather troops and head to Jiangning first. After I receive the imperial decree, I will take the tiger tally, count the troops, and then lead the soldiers to Siming Mountain to meet you."
"Your team goes first to gather information."
"Yes, General!"
At this moment, Jin Jinzhi was issuing orders to Military Advisor Cao in his capacity as General Zhenbei.
After bowing, Military Advisor Cao strode out of the Prince of Jibei's residence.
Jin Jinzhi returned to her bedroom and looked at Yun Duoduo, who was fast asleep on the bed.
Her little face was rosy, her breathing was even, and she was sleeping soundly.
It seems she's really exhausted.
He quietly changed into his armor, took a box from the cabinet, and placed it on Yun Duoduo's bedside table.
As if by telepathy, Yun Duoduo woke up.
"Did I disturb you?"
Yun Duoduo shook her head. Jin Jinzhi moved very gently. She knew that she slept like a log and no one could wake her up.
She grasped Jin Jinzhi's hand. "Are you going out to fight?"
Jin Jinzhi nodded.
Yun Duoduo felt a pang of sadness in her heart, and she suppressed her tears.
He was a general, protecting the people of his region. For the peace and tranquility of more people, he had to fight and suppress the rebels.
Jin Jinzhi felt extremely distressed seeing her trying so hard not to show her sadness.
"What do you want? I'll get it for you."
Jin Jinzhi saw her bending over and rummaging under the bed for something, and was afraid that she might hurt herself.
Despite the pain, she pulled out a first-aid kit from under the bed and placed a mask, gloves, and other items in Jin Jinzhi's hands.
"Put these on and tuck them into your arms; you might find them useful."
She placed the gloves and mask inside Jin Jin's top.
"Eat this."
She took out a pill and put it into Jin Jinzhi's mouth. If Jin Jinzhi was poisoned or seriously injured, this pill could keep him alive.
With everything prepared, Yun Duoduo stared intently at him: "Jin Jinzhi, you already have a princess!"
"I'm waiting for you to come back!"
Jin Jinzhi nodded, kissed Yun Duoduo on the forehead, tucked her in, and left the bedroom.
As he stepped out of the mansion, he looked at the Jibei Prince's Mansion. Even though he felt extremely reluctant to leave and felt very sorry for Yun Duoduo, he felt both heartache and sorrow.
However, the people of Jiangning were still waiting for him. He needed to quell the rebellion as soon as possible and return to be with her.
Thinking of this, Jin Jinzhi tightened her grip on the reins even more.
"drive!"
The horse galloped through the streets of the capital.
...
As dawn broke, the sunlight bathed everything in a stark white light.
Military Advisor Cao rode his horse at breakneck speed to the Zhenbei military camp. "Quickly, assemble the first squad, and follow me out of the city!"
When the soldiers guarding the gate of the Zhenbei military camp saw that it was Military Advisor Cao, they quickly opened the gate and let Military Advisor Cao, who was riding a fast horse, in.
The soldiers, who had been sitting around the tent drinking water and eating after lighting a campfire, quickly stuffed their food into their mouths, stood up, and ran towards the door.
"Military Advisor Cao, has a traitor suddenly rebelled?"
One of the militia members stuffed a whole steamed bun into his mouth and asked indistinctly.
The militia leader had dark skin, sparse and thin eyebrows, and bloodshot eyes. He picked up his large sword and asked Cao Canjun questions while counting the number of people.
"Damn it, those traitors from Jiangning! Do you have any more steamed buns? Give me one!"
Cao Canjun cursed and grabbed a steamed bun, stuffing it into his mouth.
Each team consists of one hundred people, led by a local militia.
"This matter is urgent. We'll talk about it on the way. Quickly, let's set off!" Cao, the military advisor, changed into his armor and came out.
"Everyone's here, let's go!"
Cao Canjun leaped onto his horse, and a group of men followed him away from the Zhenbei military camp.
...
The next day at noon, Yun Duoduo struggled to get up and took a bath with the help of A Xiang and Dong Shuang.
Seeing the red and purple hickeys on her body, Yun Duoduo was so embarrassed that she quickly got into the bathtub and let the water cover her body.
Looking at Yun Duoduo's expression, A Xiang and Dong Shuang covered their mouths and chuckled knowingly.
"Your Highness, you really dote on the Princess. Even though you left in such a hurry this morning, you still remembered to tell the guards at the door to instruct the kitchen to make more nourishing soup for the Princess!"
"Of course! And last night, the Prince, fearing that the Princess would feel uncomfortable, dismissed all the servants in the back courtyard!"
Yun Duoduo covered her face. Luckily, there wasn't anyone in the courtyard last night. With the soundproofing of the bedroom, if their shouts and moans had been heard, she would have been too ashamed to face anyone.
As Ah Xiang and Dong Shuang chatted, they put flower petals into the bathtub and gently wiped Yun Duoduo's body.
After taking a bath, Yun Duoduo changed her clothes, and the bedding on the bed had been changed to clean ones.
"Your Highness, the box has been placed on the table for you."
"Box?"
Yun Duoduo remembered; it was the box Jin Jinzhi had placed by her bedside before she left.
"good."
After having breakfast, Yun Duoduo opened the box and found a private seal, a key, a stack of house deeds, and a stack of land deeds inside.
Yun Duoduo looked at the stack of house deeds and the stack of land deeds with great surprise.
"Brother Jinzhi, he's just a prince. How much can a prince's salary be?"
She summoned the butler, Uncle Fu, to inquire about the specifics.
"Uncle Fu, has the Prince not spent his salary all these years?"
Yun Duoduo asked the question very tactfully, and Uncle Fu understood the meaning behind her words.
“Your Highness, the Prince has acquired some properties over the years, with estates in various places, which bring in a considerable amount of money every year.”
"I see."
"His Highness has instructed this old servant that if the Princess Consort has free time or nothing to do, she may go to the estate to relax."
"There are many tea shops in Quanzhou and Yuze. If Your Highness is interested, this old servant can arrange for someone to accompany Your Highness to take a look."
"A tea shop?"
