The stables in the mansion were built as scheduled, so the news of Ning Yun holding back and leading the troops had already spread out.
At this moment, they didn't have a good head. No one thought that there would be such a thing happening near the end of the year. The capital was abuzz with discussions, but most of them were positive. Ye Jinsu listened to the discussions outside, but her heart was always uncertain.
Time dragged on day by day until the eve of Ning Yunyin's departure.
In the end, Ye Jinsu couldn't sit still anymore and found Xiao Hong to speak up. "Help me deliver a message to Princess Shu saying that I've asked her out to reminisce about old times in the Pristine Jade Tower."
Ning Yunquan should know more about this battle than he did.
Ning Yunquan didn't receive any orders from the emperor to go to war with General Yu. If you think about it carefully, you'll know why. Ning Yunquan and Ning Yunyin were on good terms. Both of them held quite a bit of military power.
They had to separate these two.
He was afraid that once Ning Yunyin left, the emperor would make a move against her. The capital was once again in a state of bloodshed.
These people were none other than Ye Jinsu.
As promised, Mrs Shu arrived, looking a little more tired than before.
"Has the wangfei had a good rest recently?" Ye Jinsu looked at her and asked.
Madam Shu lowered her head and rubbed her forehead before replying, "You should know about the matters in the capital too. It's hard to avoid a bit of worry in your heart."
Speak, "Madam Shu looked at her again." Did you call me over for the matter regarding Brother Sixteen? "
Ye Jinsu nodded.
"I want to know what the odds of this war are." Ye Jinsu lowered her eyes and said, her voice a bit shallow.
Mrs Shu laughed, seemingly seeing through Ye Jinsu's worries, but she lowered her head and replied truthfully, "Fifty percent."
Finally she laughed. "Actually, my sister should know that this isn't the most worrisome thing, right?"
What was most worrisome was what the emperor was planning to do in the year that Ning Yunyin left.
However, Ye Jinsu didn't think so.
Whatever the emperor wants to do is fine, as long as Ning Yunyin is safe.
She felt that she was being too alarmist. But for some reason, from the moment she knew about this sudden event, her heart had always been unable to calm down.
Little Red said she was worried, but she didn't even know when she had started to care about Ning Yunyin.
Right now, she could only do as she wished to avoid the torture on her heart.
"Why did the emperor insist that he lead troops?" Ye JinSu asked this question once again. Her voice was soft and her tone was a bit empty, as if she wasn't going to answer this question.
She had heard too many rumors recently, and every word made her feel particularly uncomfortable.
Madam Shu was silent for a moment.
After a long moment of silence, Lady Shu sighed and said truthfully, "On the surface, it's because of that battle half a year ago."
Because the battle half a year ago had given Ning Yunyin a good reputation for being brave in battle, the heavy responsibility this time was naturally left to the most courageous and warlike prince.
Ye Jinsu's fingers, which were hidden in her sleeves, suddenly tightened as her expression slightly changed.
Lady Shu quickly added, "But you and I both know that if the emperor really wants to do this, what reason can't he come up with?"
She was afraid that Ye Jinsu would think too much, but she did think too much anyway.
She had heard too many such rumors in the past few days. Even though she had personally confirmed it, she was still unable to accept it calmly.
If it wasn't for him …
Lady Shu saw Ye Jinsu's expression change, so she sat up and grabbed her hand. She comforted her, "Don't worry too much. Although the battlefield is a dangerous place, you should know Sixteenth Brother's ability."
Ye Jinxiu could only slightly nod her head.
"If you really want Sixteenth Brother to be well, then we'll stay in the capital and protect him." She patted her hand.
Ye Jinsu was obviously very worried, yet she still pretended not to see it. This made Madam Shu's heart ache for her.
"What we can do is to let him have no future worries." Madame Shu advised gently.
Ye Jinxiu could only get a general idea of what was going on. Her heart was in a mess.
She even wanted to follow Ning Yunxiao. However, the moment this thought appeared, it was immediately cut off by Ye Jinsu.
It was ridiculous.
After a hasty farewell, Ye Jinsu rushed home.
Xiao Hong, who was in the horse carriage, had already seen through Ye Jinsu's thoughts. She had seen through Ye Jinsu's nervousness and worry. Xiao Hong was silent for a long time before it finally opened its mouth, "Miss."
"I heard that an esteemed monk came to the Cloud Glow Temple, and quite a few people were there asking for talisman paper. It was said that they were extremely intelligent."
"In the current hour, we can still catch up after begging in the temple."
As for what they could catch up to, both Ye Jinxiu and Little Red were well aware of it.
Ye Jinsu suddenly opened the curtain of the carriage and spoke to the coachman, her voice somewhat anxious, "To the Cloud Light Temple!"
Meanwhile, on the other side, Ning Yungang was sitting in Ning Yunyin's mansion, silently staring at each other for a long time. The Grand Princess hurried out of the palace, her expression grave.
"General Yu is one of the Qi King's men." Ning Yunquan secretly said to himself, his tone slightly angry.
Could it be that the Emperor wanted the two of them to enter a civil war on the battlefield? Ning Yunquan was angry and angry at the same time, but there was nothing he could do.
The deputy general at the side had already put on his armor and came forward to reply, "King Bingning, our troops have all finished demonstrating and are ready to set off at any time."
The Grand Princess hurried over from the palace, just in time to catch Ning Yunyin before she left.
Ning Yunquan was somewhat surprised.
The emperor held a large farewell ceremony at the west gate. The Grand Princess only needed to send him off.
However, the Grand Princess didn't say anything. She merely turned her head to look at her aide-de-camp, who immediately retreated with the rest of the servants.
The Grand Princess took out a letter from her sleeve and handed it over to Ning Yun. "We'll see when you get to the battlefield."
The Grand Princess had a grim expression on her face. This was an extremely important item.
Ning Yunquan looked at the Grand Princess in surprise, not daring to ask what it was.
Ning Yunyun glanced at the Grand Princess, her dark eyes seeming to shine. After putting away the letter, Ning Yunyin did not say anything else. She turned around and went back into the house to change into her armor.
Ye Jinsu's carriage was speeding along the palace road.
Fortunately, the Cloud Light Temple was the largest temple in the capital, so its location was not too far away. However, because of this, the Cloud Light Temple was now filled with people, and people came everywhere to ask for talismans.
Xiao Hong looked at this scene and immediately gave a wink to the servants beside her. All the servants dispersed, and after a short while, they found out that the great master did not come out to stand guard today.
Little Red stomped her foot on the ground anxiously. "Look for the abbot!"
Ye Jinsu looked around and saw the abbot standing at the side of the door with her sharp eyes. She then ran over.
Xiao Hong panicked and quickly followed.
"This female benefactor is in a hurry. Is there something urgent?" When the abbot saw Ye Jinsu running over, he asked in a friendly manner.
"A demand talisman from my family's young miss!" Xiao Hong answered from the side, "A Talisman from Master Wude!"
"Junior Wu De isn't in the temple today." The words of the abbot shattered Little Red's hopes, and Little Red was dumbfounded.
Ye Jinsu pursed her lips and asked, "Then may I ask when Master Wu De will be back?"
"She should be back soon. Miss can wait for a moment inside." The old man led Ye Jinsu inside the house to rest.
"Seeing how young lady's expression is in such a hurry, there seems to be someone between your eyebrows that you're worried about. You're begging for a peace talisman, right?"
Ye Jinsu froze for a moment. She didn't say anything, which was tacit acknowledgement.
The buddhist statue in the temple was high up in the sky as the golden light shrouded his body like a god. His eyes were downcast as if he was pitying all living beings. Ye Jinxiu raised her head and looked at it for a moment before suddenly sending an incense stick up.
This was the first time in her two lifetimes that she had ever asked for Buddha.
In her previous life, she didn't believe in Buddha and felt that Buddha couldn't save her.
She did not believe that Buddha could not help her in this life.
But now, she really wanted to beg Buddha, beg him to protect that person.
