General Liu did not manage to defend Jiayu Pass, and he who helped the Crown Prince, failed to defend Feng County, and Duke North failed to defend Ning County… but Lord Huai managed to defend Xinzhou and beat North Qi? How could that be possible?

The Crown Prince would not lie about that.

The soldiers were the same, but the chief was changed, so the battle was won?

Had he underestimated Lord Huai all this time?

Seeing Junyi in confusion, Zhou Huailing was sure that he was still thinking about how Lord Huai won the battle. He felt quite displeased as he said stiffly, "Junyi, what are you thinking about?"

Only then did Junyi wake up from his contemplation.

He said, "Crown Prince, I am just very surprised that Lord Huai managed to defend Xinzhou!"

"He is just lucky! Eighth Brother is so spoiled that he can kill people whenever he wants to, and he has never been serious about any mission. Do you think that he is capable as a chief? Don't be silly! He is just lucky, he is always lucky! Look at who his mother was, the Queen, and his grandparents are the Jiang Family! But he has nothing other than luck and he is incapable of anything other than running into some lucky things every now and then, that is all," Zhou Huailing said disdainfully.

If his Eighth Brother was really capable, how could he be in such a horrible position after his mother passed away.

Zhou Huailing shook his head. He did not think that it was worth thinking about.

He was thinking about how to march to the border.

Junyi nodded and agreed with what the Crown Prince said. Lord Huai did not have any competences, so that would be extremely ridiculous.

"Crown Prince, you are right, let's just go to the border to win the civilians' support, which should be beneficial for you when you take the throne." Junyi approved.

The Crown Prince might be stupid sometimes, but he was ambitious and brave. If he could just guide him, he would definitely make it in the future.

However…"What should we do with the Crown Prince Consort?"

"Take her along with us. You should arrange some people to guard the Crown Prince Consort so that she will be safe on the way there," Zhou Huailing said.

He needed to obtain the civilians' support and he needed to father a son with the Phoenix Girl. He must obtain both.

And on the way to the border, he was going to make use of all the intervals.

Zhou Huailing really liked this kind of arrangement.

Junyi nodded in agreement.

They could not give up halfway, so they needed to have a wagon prepared, which might take some time, but that should not be an issue. That was a better way to keep her to himself.

Losing his patience, Zhou Huailing waved his hands. "Anyway, go and arrange the trip to the border, and I will speak with the Crown Prince Consort."

Junyi nodded and left and Zhou Huailing headed directly to the back yard.

He had been grounding Ruxue during the past few days, and he loved it.

For one thing, he did not need to be distracted by what happened to Ruxue when he was busy with serious matters, and for another, Ruxue was not as arrogant as before, which made it much easier for him to control her.

As he was thinking, he reached the gate of the yard.

The maids showed him in.

The moment the door was opened, Gu Ruxue jumped as if she was extremely startled. She subconsciously wanted to move away.
