Zhou Ruo walked a long way before slowing down.

Her heart was beating fast and sweat appeared on her forehead.

She raised her hand and patted her chest, staring at the road under her feet in trance.

This is the first time in her life that she has had such a head-on conflict with others. In the past, she always hid timidly and humbly allowed others to bully and scold her.

She just said those words in a rush of thought, but after she said them, she felt terrified and broke into a cold sweat on her back.

She was afraid. With her background, how could she dare to challenge others?

But looking back now, Zhou Ruo felt a little uncontrollable excitement in her mind. She couldn't help but think: Is this the smell of power? It's so... addictive.

For the first time, she realized the convenience that rights brought to her.

Zhou Ruo looked up, with a glint in his eyes.

This feeling is so good that Zhou Ruo is addicted. She will seize every opportunity she can to climb up. She never wants to go back to the humble dog-like life she once had.

Zhou Ruo took a deep breath, quickened his pace and returned to his palace. He quickly ordered his maids to prepare, and there must be no flaws from head to toe.

When Mo Xiao returned from the Queen Mother's place, he saw that Mo Chengning was already reading the booklet in Yinghua Hall.

Lu Jiuqing was recuperating in the side hall and would not come over until dinner time.

Besides Mo Chengning, there was another person in Yinghua Hall, it was Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen stood in the middle of the room without wearing boots, watching His Highness approving the papers with burning eyes. No matter how many times he saw it, he still couldn't help but be amazed in his heart.

Your Majesty is really good at giving birth to children. He has given birth to a genius in his life, and he is worthy of being your Majesty.

Hearing the footsteps, Zhou Chen turned around and saw Mo Xiao, and said quickly: "I have met your Majesty."

Mo Xiao raised his hand and said casually: "Why are you here? What happened?"

Zhou Chen's expression became serious, he took out a booklet from his pocket and handed it to Mo Xiao, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the border is not peaceful."

Mo Xiao's face also turned cold. He took the booklet and looked through it while saying, "Tell me something."

Zhou Chen said: "This winter has been extremely cold, and life outside the customs has been even more miserable. A large number of cattle and sheep have been frozen to death, so that they lack food and clothing. These barbarians, without food and drink, naturally think of our border. This year, Many villages have been looted by outsiders, resulting in many deaths and injuries."

Mo Xiao threw the folder on the table with a slap and said coldly: "I just came to the throne two years ago and was busy stabilizing the internal affairs and had no time to deal with them. Now, since they want to die, I might as well get rid of them completely."

Zhou Chen had worries in his eyes and said softly: "Your Majesty, please be cautious about this matter and don't make a decision so quickly. After all, the two armies fought and there were countless casualties. In the end, it was the common people who suffered."

In Zhou Chen's view, the best thing to do is to solve the problem peacefully.

We have to fight...the lives of soldiers also matter. Who wants to die if they can live well?

Mo Xiao raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, and said in a deep voice: "I will seriously consider this matter. General Chen, go say hello and let him get ready."

Zhou Chen moved his lips, and finally sighed and said, "Yes."

After the serious talk, Mo Xiao suddenly said: "Zhou Ruo is your cousin?"

Zhou Chen, who was about to pack his things and leave, was stunned when he was asked, his face a little confused: "Huh?"

Mo Xiao frowned: "Really?"

"Yes, yes, Wei Chen has a cousin named Zhou Ruo."
