That afternoon, Mu Yingbao was sitting at the desk, distracted by the letters in his hands.

After Xue Wenyu led his troops out, someone would send him a letter of safety every day, and Mu Yingbao also wrote him a letter every day.

Every time she received a letter from him, Mu Yingbao would read it once first, then take it out again when she was alone and read it over and over again.

When they were together, she always felt that he was a grown man who revolved around her all day long. Now that they are apart, she really can't get used to it.

She always slept with Nanzhu at night, but every time Nanzhu fell asleep, she was still awake. She only pretended to be asleep because she didn't want Nanzhu to worry.

Every time she felt the fetus move, she would think that if he were there, he would surely touch her with joy, or put his ear gently against her belly and talk to the baby.

Mu Yingbao decided that she would treat him better when he came back.

Whatever he likes to eat, I cook for him.

The letter received today said that there was only one city on the border between Xixiang and Wuyu that had not been recovered. He would try to take it within three days and then he would be able to come back.

Mu Yingbao calculated the time. Three days, plus the time for return, it would probably take six days at the fastest.

During these six days, if I didn't find something to do to pass the time, it would really be a torture.

She had already come up with a plan to treat Empress Dowager Xixiang the afternoon before.

At that time, I thought that I would wait for my husband to come back before treating the empress dowager.

Queen Mother Xixiang had suffered a stroke and had been paralyzed in bed for many years, so she was not in a hurry. But now she was bored and didn't want to wait any longer. It was better to get this done before he came back, so that he could set off to return home as soon as he came back.

"Tuzi, where is the Ninth Prince? Ask him to come over." Mu Yingbao instructed Tuzi.

"That kid is doing well here now. Wen Xiaowu is teaching him kung fu." After Tu Zi said this, he went to look for someone.

Not long after, Xun Ying, sweating and covered in dust, trotted in. "Madam, are you looking for me?"

Mu Yingbao looked at the young man, her face flushed as she shook her head. "Ninth Prince, if you do this every day, aren't you afraid that the people of Xixiang will misunderstand us and abuse you?"

"Don't worry, Madam. They all know that I'm learning Kung Fu here. Master Wen has praised me and said that I have a good foundation." Xun Ying wiped his forehead with his sleeve and said very proudly. While wiping the sweat off his forehead, his eyes swept over the snacks on the coffee table next to Mu Yingbao and paused for a moment. Seeing this, Mu Yingbao smiled and winked at Nanzhu, who immediately understood; "Your Highness, practice..." "Okay, thank you, Madam, and thank you, Sister Nanzhu." Xun Ying responded immediately after hearing this, while looking around for a basin of water. "Your Highness, there are many people in your Xixiang who are good at martial arts, so it would be great if you can ask your father to find you a powerful master. "I'm used to being called Sister Nanzhu and Sister Nanzhu by this kid all day long. "Sister Nanzhu, you don't know that my father has arranged a martial arts coach, but they teach me very carefully and are afraid that I will get hurt, so you can imagine what I can learn. "Xun Lai said with grievance, while standing next to Mu Yingbao, stretched out his hand to pinch a piece of dessert and started to eat. "Sit down and eat slowly so as not to spit." Mu Yingbao was becoming more and more fond of this young man. Xun Ying then sat down, and Nanzhu helped him pour a glass of squeezed pear juice.

"Hey, by the way, ma'am, why did you call me over here? Do you need anything? I'll go right away." After eating three pieces of dessert in a row, Xun Ying suddenly remembered and asked.

"Didn't I say before that I wanted to treat your royal grandmother? I have already thought of the treatment plan, so go back and tell your father and mother, see what they think, and then come back and tell me." Mu Yingbao said.

When Xun Ying heard this, his eyes widened. "Great, I'll go right away." After saying that, he immediately stood up and ran out.

Looking at the direction where Xun Ying left, Nanzhu sighed, "Madam, why do I feel that the Ninth Prince is no longer like a royal child when he stays here?"

Mu Yingbao of course understood Xiao's meaning. "Needless to say, a lady who is allowed to roam free is definitely different from one who is kept in a cage."

"Zai, now it seems that the Ninth Prince is not so annoying. I am just a little worried that after we leave, he will not be able to live freely and will have to continue to be kept in the palace.

After enjoying the happiness of free-range farming, can we adapt to the old days again?" Nanzhu sighed.

"Oh hey, Nanzhu, why do you sound so sad when I heard what you just said?" Mu Yingbao said to Nanzhu with a smile.

Nanzhu looked at Mu Yingbao very seriously, "Madam, no matter where you and the master go in the future, you must not take Nanzhu down."

"Mouth? Why are you suddenly talking about this?" Mu Yingbao asked pretending to be confused.

"Not much, I just like this kind of freedom." Nanzhu responded firmly.

Mu Yingbao smiled and nodded; "Okay, as long as you are willing, just follow me. I am not supporting you for nothing anyway, you have to work."

Hearing Mu Yingbao say this, Nanzhu felt reassured.

Looking at Nanzhu's smile, Mu Yingbao couldn't help but think of Brother Hui, that poor child. Anyone else could follow her, but he couldn't.

At such a young age, he was so responsible and willing to make sacrifices. Mu Yingbao was overwhelmed by the thought.

As for Xun Ying, he ran outside the camp. The guards guarding there were already accustomed to seeing His Highness the Ninth Prince like this every day.

His Highness the Ninth Prince eats and lives in the camp of Yan State, and even his spare clothes are handed over to them to be taken back to the palace for washing.

But he came here now, I don’t know what’s the matter.

"Your Highness, if there is anything you need, I will go back and get it for you." A guard asked with a smile.

"No, no, I have something to do and need to go back to Zhao. You don't need to follow me." After saying that, he untied a horse, jumped on it and rushed towards the city.

Those guarding the city and the people inside were no longer surprised.

Soon, Xun Ying arrived at the palace.

"What? Did Madam Xue really say that? You must explain it clearly and don't make any mistakes." Queen Shangguan Xia asked in surprise after hearing her son's words.

"Mother, this is what Madam Xue said exactly. Should we wait until father leaves the court to discuss it before responding?" Xun Ying asked. If this was the case, he would quickly return to his bedroom to take a bath and change his clothes.

"Your father, your mother should go and tell him that you have finally returned to Zhao. Hurry up and wash up, and ask someone to go to the imperial kitchen to prepare something to eat." Shangguan Shuang felt a little distressed when she saw her son, who was sweating and covered in dust but full of energy.

Xun Ying waved his hands repeatedly, "No need, mother. I had some snacks at Madam Xue's when I came here. Mother, go tell father quickly. I will go back and wash up."

Shangguan Xia and her son left their bedroom together and parted ways outside.

"After hearing what her son said, Queen Shangguan Xia asked in surprise.

"Mother, this is what Madam Xue said exactly. Should we wait until father leaves the court to discuss it before responding?" Xun Ying asked. If this was the case, he would quickly return to his bedroom to take a bath and change his clothes.

Shangguan Xia and her son left their bedroom together and parted ways outside.

In the Council Hall, Zhou Hong, who was sitting on the dragon chair, frowned, because just now another minister suggested that we should be on guard against others...
