It was rare for Mo Xiao to talk so much to Chen Yuan, but he still said such difficult words. After saying it, he regretted it and felt very embarrassed.

"I leave the person to you and you deal with it."

After Mo Xiao said this, he didn't even look at Chen Yuan's face and walked away.

Chen Yuan twitched the corner of her mouth, a little annoyed: "You are afraid that your sister will not want you, am I not afraid?"

Mo Xiao didn't even look back, but his voice came from far away: "You are her relative. No matter what you do, she will stand unswervingly on your side and will never abandon you."

Chen Yuan: "..."

She had nothing to say, Lu Jiuqing was indeed such a person.

Maybe it's because she has only had a weak relationship since she was a child, and there are very few people who love her, so she cherishes the relatives she recognizes and loves those who love her a thousand times in return.

Chen Yuan was grateful countless times that Lu Jiuqing picked her up when she was kneeling on the street, otherwise she would not know what kind of path she would take.

Thinking of this, Chen Yuan turned to look at the door of the woodshed behind him. After a moment of silence, he walked in.

Mo Xiao was delayed for a while because of Tang Xiuyan's affairs. By the time he returned to the palace, it was already very late.

In the Hall of Yinghua, Zhou Chen was already waiting. When he saw him coming, he knelt down to say hello. Then his eyes fell on Mo Xiao and he was stunned.

His Majesty, the Emperor, was still wearing regular clothes and looked as if he had just come back from outside.

Mo Xiao didn't seem to notice his scrutiny and asked directly: "Is something wrong?"

Zhou Chen withdrew his gaze and handed over the folder in his hand: "It's still a border matter."

"The other side seems to be losing its composure. They invaded our border three times in one month. Although they were blocked by the Chen Army, they still suffered a lot of losses. Your Majesty, it is not an option to continue like this."

Mo Xiao's face darkened and he didn't speak for a long time.

"They do this just because they want food," Zhou Chen looked at Mo Xiao's face and said thoughtfully, "According to the usual practice, they would cause trouble at the border and then send envoys to come for peace talks. In the previous dynasty, this was the case. The war was settled through marriage and food compensation. This time..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Mo Xiao.

Mo Xiao raised his eyes and looked at Zhou Chen, his voice a little cold: "Marriage, compensation for money and food? Did we do something wrong?"

Zhou Chen: "This..."

"When a robber comes, I not only have to give him my money, but I even have to give him my daughter?"

"This is just for peace. After all, it is the common people who suffer in war. Moreover, this has been the case in the previous dynasties. It is considered a common practice."

Mo Xiao sneered: "You must treat robbers the same way you treat robbers."

Zhou Chen moved his lips but said nothing more.

Mo Xiao said calmly: "Let General Chen prepare and leave for the border soon. Also, let the Minister of the Ministry of War and the Minister of Hubu come to see me."

When Zhou Chen heard this, he already guessed what the emperor was going to do.

In fact, he already knew it before he came. After all, he had been with this person for a long time and knew his temper to some extent.

Zhou Chen didn't say any more words of persuasion, and said in a deep voice: "Yes, Wei Chen will do it now."

Mo Xiao waved his hand and said suddenly when Zhou Chen left: "Concubine Shun is pregnant. As my elder brother, go and see her when you have time and talk to her."

Zhou Chen: "...ah?"

Although he and Concubine Shun are related by blood, they are not considered a family after all...
