Madam General, please run slower.

After Yu Xun rushed back to the capital, he went into the palace and negotiated with the prince for a while. After finally taking a break, all that was left for him was a divorce letter and the badly injured secret guards.

Looking at the few short lines of words in his hand, Yu Xun was so angry that he laughed. A divorce letter must be agreed upon and negotiated by both husband and wife. Isn't this just a unilateral divorce letter?

"Where did she go?" Yu Xun tightly grasped the "divorce papers" in his hand.

"I don't know. The last place the princess was seen was the general's mansion. Our people didn't notice her leaving the mansion. It was as if she suddenly disappeared." The secret guard hurriedly reported the situation under Yu Xun's almost cannibalistic gaze. He suddenly understood the gloating of Wei Shiliu when he gave him this task.

"How could such a grown person just disappear out of thin air?" Yu Xun looked at the divorce agreement in his hand, becoming more and more displeased. He tore it up cleanly and said, "Find her. Make sure to confirm her whereabouts."

"Yes." The secret guard retreated. After seeing Li's abilities, he inexplicably felt that the success rate of this mission might be even lower than asking them to assassinate the prince now.

Yu Xun subconsciously didn't believe that Li would leave the General's Mansion. The Qianwu Dynasty was harsh on women, and she was the ninth princess of the dynasty. Where could she hide without the protection of the General's Mansion? As for whether Li's current strength needed the General's Mansion as a barrier, Yu Xun didn't think about it, or he didn't dare to think about it.

Whenever the thought "maybe she is really gone" popped up in his mind, Yu Xun would force himself to think about other things. This was the first time in his life that he was unwilling to accept the fact and deliberately avoided it.

One day, one week, one month... the passage of time forced Yu Xun to face the fact that she was really gone.

Wu Huang was speechless when he saw Yu Xun who was busy all day long. "General, you need to rest."

When the army returned to the capital, the prince found an excuse to give Yu Xun a sinecure. Although he could come to the military camp or not, Yu Xun found things to do every day.

"No need." Yu Xun glanced at him and continued to work on his task. "The Imperial Hospital has spread the news that His Majesty is dying. It is inevitable that the Crown Prince will take that position. You should also pay more attention."

"The King of the Northern Territory has established his own army and is about to attack the capital. How long do you think the Crown Prince can stay in that position?"

Wu Yu stabbed his good brother's heart without hesitation, "Even if the Northern King attacks the capital, the prince will let the Yu Family Army resist the enemy, but now the control of the Yu Family Army is in the hands of your uncles, what does it have to do with you, General?"

Even though his uncles betrayed him and seized his power, Yu Xun still didn't think it was a big deal. At least the Yu family army was still named Yu, and he was still young, so there would always be a time for him to take power back.

Seeing that Yu Xun was indifferent, Wu Huang snatched the military book from his hand and said, "You need to rest."

Yu Xun sighed helplessly. Why was it so difficult for him to keep himself busy? "Give me back the book."

"I told you that you need to rest!" Wu Huang was also angry and threw the book aside. "How long have you been wearing this set of clothes? How long has it been since you trimmed your beard? Look at how you look now, you are just like the refugees outside!"

Wu Huang looked at his depressed look and couldn't vent his anger. "What are you avoiding?"

Yu Xun leaned back in his chair with his eyes closed and did not answer.

Wu Yu knew his temperament and changed the subject without caring, "What do you think of the current Yu family army?"

"Use two eyes to see, how else can you see it?" Yu Xun blurted out without thinking, and inexplicably felt that the words were a little familiar.

Wu Huang: "I'm serious."

Yu Xun: "After the war, the Yu Family Army needs to rest and recuperate. It doesn't matter to the Yu Family Army who is in power now."

Wu Huang: "What about the prince? He has asked you to meet with him several times, what do you think?"

Yu Xun: "Let him go. The Crown Prince is not a person to be feared. The focus now is to find a way to find out the power behind him."

Wu Huang: "What's the situation with your sister-in-law?"

Yu Xun: "My nephew hasn't been found yet, but there are some clues. Maybe my sister-in-law was traumatized by the loss of her child, and she's not quite conscious now."

Wu Huang: "How long has your wife been away?"

"One month and eight days." Yu Xun blurted out without thinking. After he said it, he realized something was wrong. When he raised his eyes, he met Wu Huang's teasing eyes.

"So the reason you've made yourself so miserable lately is because of the princess?"

Wu Huang raised his eyebrows. These were the only things that happened to Yu Xun recently, and he wanted to avoid talking about them, but now he had found them out by probing him.

Yu Xun: "No, it has nothing to do with her. I was just planning what would happen next. How could it be because of her?"

"General, do you know the saying 'the more you try to hide something, the more obvious it becomes'?" Wu Yu stared at Yu Xun with interest. "If it really didn't matter, you wouldn't have explained it to me so much and emphasized it over and over again."

"So you're upset because there's still no news from the princess?"

"Yeah." Yu Xun didn't really want to admit it, but he couldn't hide his emotions from Wu Zhuo.

"Why? Don't you want her to leave?" Wu Hao could understand all of Yu Xun's emotions, except his feelings. He really didn't understand anything about them. He had never liked anyone, and he had to rely on Shi Yaojue, the playboy, to help him with matters of the heart.

"When did I want her to leave?" Yu Xun was also puzzled. He clearly had never thought about letting her leave, so why did everyone around him think he had such an idea? Wu Huang thought so, Wei Yi and the others also thought so, and even the concubines in the mansion thought so.

Every time he came back this month, Jiang Wan and the others would ask him indirectly what happened between him and the little princess, and why he wanted to drive her away. In all honesty, he was the one who was left behind.

"You don't want her to leave? Then you..." He was monitoring her like an enemy.

Wu Huang paused, then said, "I heard that you also asked the secret guards to capture the princess's maid, right?"

Yu Xun: "That maidservant has been with Qu Tangli since she was a child, so she naturally knows some things about her. If I don't torture her, who else should I torture?"

Seeing that Yu Xun was not aware of what he had done, Wu Yan was somewhat speechless and talked about another matter, "I remember that General, you were raised by your eldest sister-in-law."

Yu Xun didn't know why Wu Huang brought up this matter, and nodded. "My mother passed away shortly after I was born, and my father and elder brother were busy in the military camp. At that time, my sister-in-law was just a neighbor sister, and she took good care of me, so it's not wrong to say that my sister-in-law raised me."

Wu Huang: "Then if someone kidnapped the eldest sister-in-law of the Yu family, tortured her and tried to get information about the general from her, how would the general treat this person?"

"Of course I'll kill him." Yu Xun wanted to cut the man into pieces just by thinking about that scene.

Wu Huang: "That's it, so you can say that the princess has a good temper because she didn't kill the general."

Yu Xun understood what Wu Yan wanted to say, "What is the connection between the two? Chunmei is just a maid."

Wu Huang really wanted to knock open Yu Xun's head to see if it was filled with water. This man was stubborn and could not change his mind once he made up his mind.

"Do you think a princess who has been unloved since childhood would have any master-servant concept? That maidservant protected her and helped her survive in that cannibalistic palace. It was not just a simple matter of raising her. She is like a mother and a sister to the little princess. She is like a relative, not a family member, but a family member. You have already taken action against the little princess's family members, and you still say you don't want to drive them away?"

Yu Xun: ...What should I do if he feels even worse after the conversation?
