Mu Xuan wanted to refuse, but Yan Kaiyu didn't give him the chance, "Wu Du, you take over the work from him."

Not far outside the palace, a servant saw the situation here and immediately ran to the Prime Minister's residence. He looked very happy when he was running.

The butler bent over and said, "Princess, Prince, it's noon now. Please go into the house and rest for a while. I will have someone bring the meal up right away."

"She is more capable of..."

"Yes, I understand."

Shangguan Zimeng pursed her lips, indicating that she didn't want to talk.

Yan Kaiyu took her hand and went into the house, opened the envelope, and the general content inside was: The Cambodian Emperor was seriously ill, and his health was getting worse day by day. The eldest prince Chu Tianming often summoned court officials in his mansion, and there might be big moves at the end of the year.

He said calmly, "I'm afraid there will be a war."

Shangguan Zimeng asked: "What does it mean? Does the letter say that someone has declared war on us?"

He explained: "I'm afraid that the Cambodian Emperor will not survive this winter. When he was alive, we were in a relatively peaceful state with Cambodia, at least there would be no war. If he is gone, that would be another matter."

"You mean his successor will deliberately start a war."

"Successor? I'm afraid it's a usurper. Although he has many sons, few of them are successful. Because of this, he has not appointed a crown prince yet. Chu Tianming mentioned in the letter is the most powerful. This person happens to be a warmonger and ruthless. He will probably take action in advance to murder his biological father and seize the throne."

She listened with great interest and felt very interested in all of this. At the same time, she felt sad in her heart how cruel it was to be born in the royal family. Fathers and sons, brothers, turned against each other, and fought against each other, all for the supreme power.

A moment later, when the food was served, Min Ran ran in happily, with an uncontrollable look of joy on his face.

"Sister Mengmeng!"

Shangguan Zimeng hugged her and asked happily, "How did you know we were back? You are so well-informed."

Min Ran said proudly: "Since you left, I have sent servants to squat at the gate of the palace every day. As soon as you and the prince come back, I will be the first to receive the news and come to play with you."

"Great, great, you've even learned how to use eyeliner."

Min Ran crossed his arms and said, "Not that powerful. Let me tell you, sister, the people I sent out a few times were crippled by Mu Xuan, and they are still lying in bed. My subordinates dare not take this job. I have to say that the people trained by the prince are too vigilant. If I hadn't explained, I guess they would have beaten them one by one."

Shangguan Zimeng burst into laughter.

Min Ran put his arm around her and said, "Sister Mengmeng! You're finally back. It's all your fault for not taking me with you when you left. I've been so bored these days that I'm almost growing hair out of anxiety."

"I left in such a hurry that I didn't have time to tell you. Don't you have Liu Xingtang with you? How could you still be bored?"

Min Ran shook his head and said helplessly: "Don't mention it. He went back not long after you and the prince left."

Shangguan Zimeng sat back on the chair, putting food into her mouth, looking like she was enjoying herself, "Going back? Didn't he want to take you with him this time? Why did he go back alone?"

"That was originally his plan, but it seems like there's a war going on in the north, bandits are everywhere, and there's also an epidemic, so he had to go back first." Min Ran said this with an angry expression on his face and continued, "He didn't even say goodbye to me when he left. He just left a torn note saying, 'I'm going back.' That was it. It's so infuriating."

Shangguan Zimeng recalled the conversation between her and Yan Kaiyu, and then she remembered that Xiyue Kingdom was facing internal and external troubles.

She comforted him, "Don't be angry. He did this because he was afraid that you would be too sad. What if he said goodbye to you in front of you and you cried your heart out? What would he do?"

Min Ran's eyes were red, and he said anxiously: "But I'm worried about him, sister. You said that he is in such a dangerous place now. Will he have any accidents?"

Yan Kaiyu, who had been concentrating on eating, said to dispel her worries, "Don't worry, the fighting power of the Xiyue Scimitar Cavalry is no worse than that of the Barbarian Cavalry, and they will definitely be able to defend the borders and the country. As for the plague, it won't be a problem with Xingtang and his master. The bandits are a bit troublesome, but they shouldn't cause any trouble. They have been going on for years, so just get used to it."

Min Ran held back the tears that were about to flow out, and returned to his usual cheerful self, "With the prince's words, I feel relieved. He will definitely be fine."

Shangguan Zimeng said, "It's nothing serious, don't worry too much. Have you eaten? Do you want some?"

"Great, great! Sister, to be honest with you, I don't even want to eat at home right now. The atmosphere is too depressing."

"why?"

"It's all because of my second brother. He went to the border without telling my parents and served under General Wang Liao. My father was very angry about this matter and scolded him every now and then. Now I dare not make any noise while eating at the dinner table, for fear that he will get angry with me, his lovely daughter."

"You are so cute, the Prime Minister will definitely not blame you." Shangguan Zimeng touched her head and said, "If you want, come and eat with us. We will provide you with enough food to eat."
