Today, Jiang Shu got up earlier than usual. He glanced outside the house from time to time, waiting for Yu Zheng to come back.
After watching the sun rise for countless times, Yu Zheng finally came back when Chu Yu came to ask if he wanted to serve breakfast first.
Jiang Shu immediately stood up and followed Yu Zheng into the inner room, helping him change clothes while asking about the outcome of the matter.
Yu Zheng told her that the emperor agreed, but after the court officials discussed it, he went to Pingyang instead, and Zhou Boxu led his army to the southwest first.
"You want to go to Pingyang? My brother-in-law is going to lead the army to Yicheng?" Jiang Shu was shocked when he heard this.
"What should I do, sister?" Jiang Shuyou asked.
Yu Zheng sighed: "It's hard to have both ends of the world."
The country is in crisis and justice is at hand, so we can only give up the little love in our heart.
After hearing this, Jiang Shu's heart tightened uncomfortably, and she didn't speak for a long time.
Originally, Yu Zheng was going to conquer the southwest, and she was already worried about it. Now that Zhou Boxu is going to the southwest, Yu Lan is once again pregnant, facing her husband going to the battlefield, and her heart is probably as painful as a knife.
"Sister, I'm really... so pitiful." Jiang Shu had a lump in his throat and felt unspeakably uncomfortable.
Yu Zheng hugged her and comforted her silently.
After a while, Jiang Shu calmed down his turbulent emotions, and suddenly raised his eyes to look at Yu Zheng and said, "I'll go to Pingyang with you."
Yu Zheng was startled, frowned and asked, "Why?"
Jiang Shu is not an unreasonable and willful person, she must have a reason for being this way.
Jiang Shu said: "Jiang Ji doesn't have much food left, and dad plans to go south to look for food in the next few days. Since you are going to collect food, why not take me with you, so dad doesn't have to go, and mom can feel more at ease."
After hearing this, Yu Zheng said: "I have to hurry up when I go to Pingyang. It will be very hard on the way."
"I know, I won't cause you any trouble." Jiang Shu's eyes were firm.
Yu Zheng stretched out his hand to tuck the hair on the side of her face behind her ears, and said with a serious expression, "Have you ever thought about what to do with Ziyou?"
"He is still so young. How can he get used to the fact that his father, queen, mother and concubine left at the same time? He will definitely be terrified."
At the mention of Yu Ziyou, Jiang Shu's heart suddenly twitched, and she frowned and said, "Send him to the concubine. The concubine will take good care of him."
With Concubine Yu taking care of her, she can rest assured, but Yu Ziyou may cry for a few days.
But as Yu Zheng said, it's hard to have both sides of things, you can only choose the most important.
Hearing that she had even thought about Yu Ziyou's whereabouts, Yu Zheng wondered: "Why do you have to go to Pingyang?"
Jiang Shu thought, "I have a good relationship with Mr. Lu, so I might be able to help."
Not only helping him, but also Jiang Ji.
Nowadays, food is in short supply, and prices have definitely increased in various places. It is true that Father Jiang can find food when he goes south, but the price will probably be difficult to keep down.
If the purchase price is high, the selling price will naturally not be lower. It doesn't matter if Jiang Ji makes less, but people will have to spend more to buy grain.
On the contrary, she went to Pingyang with Yu Zheng. If she could get Lu Mingke's help, she would get twice the result with half the effort and the price could be lowered.
After hearing her explanation, Yu Zheng muttered: "I'm leaving tomorrow, so I have to hurry up and make arrangements."
Jiang Shu's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Did you agree to let me go with you?"
"You have made up your mind and you have good reasons. Is it okay if I don't agree?" Yu Zheng asked.
Jiang Shu blinked and took him to eat.
After the meal, Jiang Shu told Chu Yu to pack up all Yu Ziyou's belongings and send him to the palace early tomorrow morning.
Finally, he ordered Tan Yu and Shuang Hua to pack her and Yu Zheng's clothes and other belongings as they were going to Pingyang.
Chu Yu and others were shocked: "The prince is so young, he will not be used to living in the palace without his mother and concubine."
Jiang Shu looked at Chu Yu and said, "You take care of Ziyou all the time. He is familiar with you. You also take care of yourself and accompany him to the palace."
Tan Yu said: "Will this slave go to Pingyang with the princess?"
Jiang Shu shook his head: "It's enough for you to stay in the palace and have Leng Xing accompanying you."
Jiang Shu understood that she and Tan Yu didn't know martial arts and were weak, so they were a burden to Yu Zheng and the others, so if they could be reduced by one, they would be one.
"Leng Xing can only kill people, how can he serve others." Tan Yu was worried.
Jiang Shu said: "I will take care of myself. Just you and Shuanghua keep the palace safe."
"Yes." Seeing Jiang Shu's resolute attitude, Tan Yu had no choice but to obey the arrangement.
After giving them instructions, Jiang Shu hurried out of the house and went to Jiang's house to inform Jiang's father.
"You are going to Pingyang!" Father Jiang and Mother Jiang were shocked.
Jiang Shu nodded: "I am with the prince, accompanied by guards and five thousand soldiers and horses. There will not be any danger."
After hearing her explanation, Jiang's father said, "In this case, it is indeed more appropriate for you to go than for me."
"Then when will you come back?" Mother Jiang asked.
They only knew that they were going to Pingyang, but they didn't know that Yu Zheng was going to Yicheng.
Jiang Shu said silently for a moment: "We will come back as soon as possible."
Once she leaves, she doesn't know when her return date will be.
Jiang's mother asked Yu Ziyou again, and Jiang Shu answered patiently.
"It's best for Ziyou to be taken care of by his grandmother." Mother Jiang sighed.
In fact, she also wanted to bring Yu Ziyou to the Jiang family to take care of him. But she knew that she couldn't compete with Concubine Yu.
Moreover, there is an imperial doctor in the palace, who will take better care of Yu Ziyou, and Concubine Yu is more suitable for raising children than her.
After talking to Jiang's father and Jiang's mother for a long time, Jiang Shu turned around and looked at the sky, stood up and said, "Father, mother, I have to go back. There are still matters in the house that have not been explained."
"Okay, let's go, be careful and pay attention to safety." Father Jiang and Mother Jiang repeatedly warned.
Jiang Shu responded one by one and left in a hurry.
After returning to the palace, Jiang Shu called Zhuo Teng and told him to arrange matters in the palace.
Yu Zheng was handling official business in the study. When Zhufeng passed by the back garden, he saw Leng Xing wiping a dagger.
He leaned over to take a look and asked Leng Xing if everything was packed.
Leng Xing ignored him, lowered his head and wiped the dagger carefully.
The dagger was polished by her, and the sunlight cast a frightening light on it.
"Is your dagger sharp enough? Is it easy to use?" Zhufeng had nothing to say.
Leng Xing quickly swung the dagger to his chest: "You want to try?"
Zhufeng tensed his head and said, "Weapons are used to kill enemies, not to target your own people."
Leng Xing snorted, put away the dagger and walked away.
Zhufeng looked at the dagger at her waist, suddenly thought of something, and turned around to look for Yu Zheng in the study.
"Master, I want to ask for something."
Yu Zheng looked up from the document: "What is it?"
Zhufeng said solemnly, anxiously waiting for Yu Zheng's response.
After getting Yu Zheng's nod of approval, Zhufeng was overjoyed.
"Thank you, Master."
If you get what you want, Zhufeng seizes the time to leave the house.
The day passed by in a flash. After Jiang Shu made sure that everything was packed and everything was arranged, he relaxed and came to accompany Yu Ziyou.
In the evening, Zhou Boxu finished his official duties and went to the Zhou Mansion.
"Mother." Zhou Boxu asked.
Mrs. Zhou stepped forward, grabbed his hand, and said with red eyes and trembling: "Why can't I hide?"
Ten years ago, she was able to stop Zhou Boxu at the risk of death. Now that the Holy Will has been revealed, how can she stop him?
Zhou Boxu knew that Mrs. Zhou was worried, so he held Mrs. Zhou's hand and comforted her: "Mother, I am no longer the incompetent young man I was ten years ago. I will protect myself and come back safely."
In the past ten years, Mrs. Zhou has seen Zhou Boxu's growth and transformation, but even so, she can't rest assured.
That's a battlefield!
