The carefree sixth prince, my father respectfully invites me to ascend the throne.

Upon hearing Xiao Yun's words, Murong Jin suddenly remembered the condition she had agreed to help him. So she looked at Xiao Yun and said seriously, "Xiao Yun, I have a condition."

Xiao Yun raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, then gestured for her to continue.

Murong Jin considered for a moment, then said, "I want to go to the Northern Frontier."

Upon hearing Murong Jin's words, Xiao Yun's eyes flickered for a moment, then he asked casually, "Why do you suddenly want to go to the Northern Frontier?"

Seeing that Xiao Yun did not refuse, Murong Jin pressed on, saying, "The war in the Northern Frontier is critical, and I must go there in person. Do you agree?"

When Xiao Yun heard that Murong Jin actually wanted to go to the Northern Frontier in person, he frowned, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement: "Okay."

Hearing Xiao Yun's agreement, Murong Jin breathed a sigh of relief. Then, she pressed her right index finger and thumb against her left palm and solemnly said to Xiao Yun, "A promise is a promise!"

Xiao Yun looked at her serious expression and couldn't help but smile. Then he reached out and placed his hand on Murong Jin's hand. "A promise is a promise. I will remember it."

Seeing that Xiao Yun had agreed, Murong Jin smiled faintly. Then, remembering something, she asked, "By the way, you told me about my father..."

Xiao Yun nodded in agreement: "He's doing well, training soldiers in the military camp."

Murong Jin breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, "That's great!"

Listening to Murong Jin's heartfelt words, Xiao Yun suddenly felt that perhaps Murong Jin's survival was God's compensation to her!

Seeing that Xiao Yun was deep in thought, Murong Jin interrupted him, "Second brother, I still have some things to take care of, and I may not be able to set off for another few days. Please take care."

Xiao Yun snapped out of his reverie upon hearing this. When she mentioned leaving the capital in a few days, he frowned and asked, "Where are you going this time?"

Murong Jin shook his head. "I don't know."

"So what are you planning to do? You're going to the northern frontier, which is a long and arduous journey. It might harm your health."

Upon hearing this, Murong Jin twitched the corner of his mouth. "I'm worried about my mother, so I can only let her go with me."

“Your mother is frail; going to the northern frontier would be too much of a hardship for her.” Although Xiao Yun felt sorry for Murong Jin, he didn’t want her to suffer.

Murong Jin knew this, of course, so he shook his head. "I know, but I'm worried about her not going! Besides, you know my mother's personality; she definitely won't want to stay in the capital."

Xiao Yun pondered for a moment after hearing this, and then said, "How about this, after you have recovered a bit, I will accompany you to the Northern Frontier."

He was worried that Murong Jin would have to travel alone to the Northern Frontier, which would be a dangerous journey, especially since the situation there was still unstable. He was afraid that she might encounter danger and cause trouble.

Murong Jin was stunned for a moment, looking at Xiao Yun in surprise, not expecting him to say such a thing.

Seeing her expression, Xiao Yun felt a little annoyed. How could he forget that she was a mischievous little girl? So he explained, "I'm worried about your safety."

Upon hearing this, Murong Jin blinked and stared at Xiao Yun, tears welling up in her eyes. "But you still have many things to deal with, and the situation in the Northern Frontier is still unclear, you..."

Seeing Murong Jin's reaction, Xiao Yun tenderly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief. "I know, that's why I plan to send someone to secretly escort you there."

Knowing his task, Murong Jin nodded and then suggested, "I just heard from Yang Ling that you have handed over the affairs of the Northern Border to your third brother. Why don't you take a break for a while?"

Xiao Yun shook his head. "No, you haven't fully recovered yet. I can't leave."

Seeing this, Murong Jin sighed, "I'm fine now, and I've gotten used to traveling these past two years, so you don't need to worry."

Looking at her pale face and weary expression, Xiao Yun said with heartache, "But, your health..."

Murong Jin smiled and said, "It's alright. I'm just a little tired from traveling. I'll be fine after a rest. You don't need to worry about me."

Xiao Yun was very worried when he saw that she was determined to go to the Northern Frontier. "Your health is not good. Why don't you let the imperial physician treat you? That way you can recover faster when you go to the Northern Frontier."

Murong Jin shook his head. "No need. The environment in the Northern Frontier is suitable for treating the plague. I believe I can definitely find a way to solve the plague."

Xiao Yun frowned upon hearing this, "But I don't want you to take any risks."

Seeing the anxiety and worry on Xiao Yun's face, Murong Jin smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll take good care of myself. Besides, I'm not going to die."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yun looked up at her, a slight smile playing on his lips. Just as he was about to say something, Yang Ling walked in from outside.

Seeing the two of them like this, Yang Ling frowned slightly and looked a little embarrassed.

Xiao Yun noticed Yang Ling's unusual behavior and immediately stood up to ask, "Young Master Ling, is something the matter?"

Yang Ling nodded upon hearing this, "I just heard that the princess is ill, so I came here specifically to check on her."

Seeing Yang Ling constantly looking towards the door as if trying to peek, Murong Jin curled his lips into a cold smile and said, "Yang Ling, just say what you have to say!"

Yang Ling was somewhat embarrassed by being caught red-handed. "Please forgive me, Your Highness." She then lowered her head. "This subordinate encountered Nangong Che on the street today..."

"And then?" Murong Jin asked indifferently, looking at Yang Ling's hesitant expression.

Hearing Murong Jin's calm tone, Yang Ling sighed inwardly. Sure enough, the princess had already guessed. So she said, "Nangong Che has arranged to meet me at Zuixiang Tower tonight."

Murong Jin raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. "Oh?"

Hearing the doubt in Murong Jin's voice, Yang Ling quickly explained, "This subordinate dares not act on my own, so I am asking the princess for instructions!"

Murong Jin lowered her eyes, concealing the glint in them, and then slowly said, "Go tell him that this princess will not entertain you!"

Yang Ling paused for a moment, then replied, "Yes!"

After Yang Ling left, Murong Jin sat up straight, his expression instantly turning serious.

She originally thought that after returning to the capital this time, she would be able to get rid of Nangong Che completely.

But she was wrong. This man was even more insane than she expected. He actually sent assassins to kill her, almost causing her to lose her life.

Fortunately, she was blessed with good fortune and survived; otherwise, she would have been dead by now.

Murong Jin took a deep breath, closed his eyes to rest, and then slowly opened them, the coldness in his eyes growing even stronger.

Just then, Xiao Yan's deep and pleasant voice came from beside her: "Ah Jin, are you alright?"

Murong Jin turned her head and looked at his worried eyes, then smiled slightly, "Yes, I'm fine."

Seeing her calm expression, Xiao Yan was still deeply worried. "Really?"

Murong Jin nodded, then changed the subject, "By the way, didn't you discuss attacking the Western Regions with Father yesterday? Is it over?"

Seeing that she didn't continue the previous topic, Xiao Yan followed up, "Not yet, but it will be soon."
