Mu Qianxue covered her lips and coughed before saying dejectedly, "I understand. It's my fault for being useless. After looking at the array for so long, I've only researched an incomplete array. No wonder King Rui was unhappy."

"No, Seventh Brother just doesn't want the princess to trouble herself and hurt her body." After holding in his anger for a long time, Dongfang Ze finally managed to say something.

Mu Qianxue gazed at the departing figure and softly spoke, "Can the Ninth King help me persuade his highness again? I promise that I will definitely complete the formation within nine days."

Dongfang Ze lightly gritted his teeth and said, "Of course, it's just that Seventh Brother's princess character is a little bit better, so I can only do my best."

"I understand, thank you, Princess." After watching Dongfang Ze leave, Xia Yue frowned and said, "Since King Rui doesn't appreciate it, why do you need to force your way in? Let him think it through himself."

"In the end, I was the one who let him down, cough cough!" Xia Yue and Nineteen quickly helped her back into the room and sat down. Coincidentally, the servant brought over the freshly brewed medicine, and Xia Yue quickly helped her consume it. Then, with a face full of nervousness, she asked: "Are you feeling better?"

"Much better." Mu Qianxue touched her chest and said, "Go and get that formation diagram. I want to take a look at it again."

"No way!" Xia Yue rejected him, "From yesterday until now, the princess has never slept. If this goes on, the formation will not be fully repaired, and her body will be in a bad condition."

"I'm fine. Hurry up and get it." Facing Mu Qianxue's orders, Xia Yue neither spoke nor moved as she silently protested.

Mu Qianxue shook her head helplessly. She got up in an attempt to get the Diagram Array, but before she could stand up, nineteen had already pushed her back into her chair.

Mu Qianxue lingered on the two of them for a moment as she said with a smile that was not a smile, "When did the two of you become so close to each other? You actually joined hands to deal with me?"

"There's no such thing." Both of them immediately denied it. When they finished speaking, they realized that they were talking about the same thing.

Xia Yue let out a light cough, concealing her embarrassment, "Princess' body is weak. The doctor repeatedly warned me to take more care of myself, otherwise, no matter how many pills I take, it will be useless."

Nineteen took over and said, "There are still nine days until the dispatch of the troops. There's no need to be hasty. Perhaps when we wake up, there will be news from the fifteenth branch."

"Fifteen …" Mu Qianxue sighed as he said with a blank look on his face, "I hope it's as you said."

"Alright, Princess, please go and rest. If you come back at 15, I will immediately go and get you." Under Xia Yue and Mu Ru Yue's insistence, Mu Qianxue had no choice but to return to her room to rest. She was indeed tired, and after lying down for a short while, she fell into a deep sleep.

Dongfang Ze had chased his all the way to the South Pavilion before finally stopping and sending his underlings back. He said, "Seventh Brother, you know that the princess has good intentions. Why did you say those hurtful words?"

Dongfang Yi didn't say anything in the face of his questioning. He walked to the case and silently looked at the mansion report that had just arrived today. Dongfang Ze wasn't willing to give up. He pulled out the newspaper. "Seventh Brother!"

Dongfang Zhi ignored her and took out another newspaper to read. When he was once again taken away, he sighed and looked up, "If I wasn't like that, with Princess's personality, she would definitely study the Three-forced Array day and night. What would happen to her body then? "I asked the imperial physician. With her condition, she can't stay up late to meditate."

"But …"

"There's no such thing as' but '." After a moment of silence, he said in a deep voice, "You have to go to the Mu residence when you have the time. You have to advise the princess to rest more and I will settle the matter of commanding the soldiers so that she does not have to worry. That's right, the servants have just found a few pretty good medicinal plants, so you should send them to the princess when you have the time."

Dongfang Ze helplessly nodded and couldn't help but sigh inside. He was clearly nervous and concerned, but he had to pretend to be indifferent. If it was him, he definitely wouldn't be able to endure this kind of torture.

Within the Pingyang Mansion, Princess Pingyang looked at Shen Xijun, who was standing in front of her, and asked, "What did you say?"

"Your daughter hopes that Mother can persuade Your Majesty to let Your Highness lead the troops for Father." Shen Xijun stated her purpose for coming here one word at a time.

Princess Pingyang looked at her in a daze. After a while, she recovered her wits. She frowned and said, "King Rui told you to say these things?"

"It has nothing to do with you, your daughter."

"Ridiculous." Princess Pingyang reprimanded, "This is an important military matter. How can we allow you to talk about it?"

Shen Xijun disapprovingly said, "Your daughter is also a citizen of the Great Zhou, why can't we discuss about her?"

"Anyway, don't say it anymore." Faced with Princess Pingyang's words, Shen Xijun unhappily said, "The prince is brave and good at fighting. To be able to defeat Dong Ling, it is very suitable for him to lead troops and send his father out."

"What do you know!" Princess Pingyang looked at him coldly, "Prince Rui might have won, but it was only a single battle. How could he be on par with your father? Besides, this expedition is related to the safety of the Zhou Empire."

"Yes, Father has been through hundreds of battles, but Mother must not forget that Father is already over fifty years old." Yes, Father has been through hundreds of battles, but Mother must not forget that Father is over fifty years old.

"You mean your father is old and useless?" Princess Pingyang coldly said. If it wasn't for the fact that the person standing in front of her was her most beloved daughter, she would have already ordered her daughter to be kicked out.

"Your daughter doesn't dare, your daughter is just worried about your father. I didn't expect him to lead troops into battle at such an age, sleeping outside in the open, or even …" I don't even know when I'll lose my life. "

Princess Pingyang's eyelids twitched as she shouted, "Shut up!"

Shen Xijun stubbornly said, "Your daughter knows that she is impudent, but everything she says is the truth. Mother, are you not worried at all?"

Princess Pingyang pursed her lips. In fact, ever since the king had told her that he would lead his men to battle, she had been worried about him and his wife for more than twenty years. For the past ten years, the king had often fought on the battlefield, and every time they had parted, she had been on tenterhooks, afraid that they would never see each other again.

After a long time, Princess Pingyang raised her head and stared at Shen Xijun, as if she wanted to see her heart, "I'm naturally worried about your father, but what about you? Aren't you worried for King Rui?"

Shen Xijun's eyes trembled as she lowered her head and twisted the silk. Princess Pingyang took the crumpled silk and coldly asked, "What happened?"

Shen Xijun saw that she couldn't hide it from her, so she had to tell her the truth. Princess Pingyang was stunned as she said, "Did King Rui consummate your marriage last night?"
