The sky was just starting to brighten. The faint light of dawn shone through the window onto the green dragon lying on the branches of Mo Chi. Fang Zinan stood in front of the window, quietly looking at the plants. Today, the food was the first to arrive. He wanted to personally witness the departure of the army that was escorting the food. Thus, he straightened his clothes and strolled out of the study.

Outside the study was a long corridor. After walking through the corridor, one would reach the hall. Fang Zinan walked a few steps and suddenly saw Shang Yiqing standing in the yard wearing a green palace uniform. She had tied a bun on her head and was watering the flowers in the yard.

Fang Zinan stopped and looked at Shang Yiqing, not knowing what to say. In the past few days, she hadn't even bothered to look at him. She didn't even want to look at him. Just like now, she clearly knew that he was right in front of his, yet she didn't even raise her head, as if he didn't even know that there was such a person in front of her.

Fang Zinan sighed in his heart, raised his leg and was about to leave when he suddenly heard Dong Fang Luo Li's voice from behind him: "Prince Rong, are you ready to leave?"

"Yeah, I'll go take a look now, then we can set off."

What? Fang Zinan was going now? Why didn't you tell her? Did he really intend to leave without saying a word? It was needless to say that Princess Liu Li was going with him. It seemed that she was the only one in the entire household who didn't know about Fang Zinan's trip. Yet, no one was willing to tell her? Shang Yiqing thought as she raised her head, glanced at Fang Zinan, and then lowered her head to water the flowers.

"Then does Your Highness want to go to the Ministry of War and start your journey?" Dong Fang Luo Li asked, knowing the answer very well.

Fang Zinan turned around. "How does the princess know so clearly?"

"Last night, I met General Xiao when I was coming back. He was the one who told me."

"General Xiao? Was he alone? When you saw him, was his injury serious? " Fang Zinan thought of what happened yesterday evening and asked urgently.

Dong Fang Luo Li shook her head and said with certainty, "His injuries shouldn't be that serious, but when I met him, he was poisoned and almost lost his life."

"Brother Xiao has been poisoned?" Shang Yiqing was shocked when she heard that. She dropped her teapot and asked anxiously, "What is going on?"

Fang Zinan immediately realized that it was no wonder that Shang Yiqing was so angry at him. It turned out that the person she was most concerned about was still Xiao Tianyuan. He felt as if his heart had been hollowed out. He felt numb, and he didn't feel anything at all.

"I'm not sure either. When I saw him last night, he was already poisoned and was in imminent danger." Dong Fang Luo Li didn't understand why Shang Yi Qing was so flustered, but after thinking for a bit, she realized that perhaps it was because Princess Rong and General Xiao knew each other that she was so nervous.

Unexpectedly, Shang Yiqing asked again, "Then how is he now?"

"I've already cured him of his poison."

Shang Yiqing heaved a sigh of relief and revealed a rare smile to Dong Fang Luo Li, "Thank you for saving Big Brother Xiao. After hearing what you said just now, I was really scared to death."

"Princess, you're too polite. Now that we are about to set off for the war, I still wanted to ask General Xiao to help us attack Beiyue Country. Saving him was a piece of cake."

"Well said!" Dongfang Ming also appeared in the courtyard and praised his daughter in agreement.

"King Dongyu, you're up so early as well?" Fang Zinan politely greeted him.

Dongfang Ming nodded, "That's right. Today is the day to set out on our journey. I want to go with King Rong to the military headquarters to have a look."

If even Dongfang Ming said that, then it meant that they were leaving today. But why was Fang Zinan unwilling to even tell her that? The more he thought about it, the more angry he became. He asked coldly, "Are you guys saying that we are leaving today?"

"Yeah." Dongfang Ming nodded and asked, "Did Prince Rong not mention this to you?"

Shang Yiqing smiled, "This was all arranged by the imperial government. My little girl doesn't understand these things, and there's no need to ask for information."

"That's true." Dongfang Ming straightened his clothes and walked towards Fang Zinan, "Your Highness, let's go."

Fang Zinan nodded with a smile: "Please, King Dongyu!"

"Wait a moment, royal father, I also want to go with you." Dong Fang Luo Li had made up her mind long ago. Although it was just food and departure, after hearing the news, she was both excited and excited. She hadn't slept well last night, so today she planned to go with Fang Zi Nan to the army headquarters.

"No, what are you going to do?" Dongfang Ming stopped her, but it was just to deliver the food. How could a dignified princess of Dongyu Kingdom follow her?

She pointed at Fang Zinan, "Prince Rong, you should bring me with you. This is for our Kingdom of Dongyu anyway, I haven't slept well the entire night, and am just waiting for this moment this morning."

Seeing Dong Fang Luo Li's expectant gaze, Fang Zi Nan glanced at Dong Fang Ming, then smiled faintly: "Alright, since the princess is so stubborn, then I can only agree."

"Really? "Great!" Dong Fang Luo Li's eyes became like crescent moons as she happily walked towards Fang Zi Nan.

Fang Zinan turned around and said in a deep voice, "Let's go."

Seeing that the three of them were about to leave the manor, Shang Yiqing could no longer resist, "Wait."

Fang Zinan stopped and asked without turning his head, "Princess, what else do you want?"

"You're really leaving today?"

Fang Zinan nodded.

Shang Yiqing was infuriated. She replied with a tone full of resentment and annoyance, "You're leaving today, why didn't you tell me?"

Hearing the discontent in Shang Yiqing's words, Dong Fang Luo Li turned her head, "Princess, this is not a big deal, it's not a big deal."

"What do you mean it's not a big matter? You all are leaving today, but I didn't even know about it. " Shang Yiqing got even angrier when she heard this.

Hearing this, Fang Zinan finally turned around with a smirk on his face. He said lightly, "Today, the military has prepared the provisions. I am just going to watch the trip. The army will leave in a few days."

"Why, you're not, you're not going to war?" Shang Yiqing was dumbfounded. She thought Fang Zinan was leaving today, but didn't expect him to leave for nothing. He made her worry for nothing and even took the initiative to talk to Fang Zinan. This was really …

Fang Zinan saw through Shang Yiqing's thoughts and smiled even more. "If we really are leaving, we will definitely tell you in advance, don't think too much."

"I …" She blushed, and Shang Yiqing forced herself to calm down, "I'm not thinking about that. It's because I didn't understand what you mean by leaving, so I just casually asked. "

The smile on Fang Zinan's face had already disappeared, giving him a sense of freedom. He was also a bit self-deprecating as he said in a gentle voice, "Thank you for your concern, Princess." If not for the presence of King Dongyu and the others, he would have gone to Shang Yiqing and asked her a question. He knew that Shang Yiqing was paying attention to this matter and the dark clouds in his heart seemed to have been blown away by the wind, allowing him to relax.

"What's so funny? Hurry up and leave." Shang Yiqing put on a stern face. Since Fang Zinan still had not left, she would not talk to him for long.
