Marry a powerful minister and remain a widow?I’m done with the book-wearing female role!

"Yes."

When it comes to the situation in the North, it is not optimistic.

There was a dispute among the barbarians, and the leader was replaced by a bloodthirsty general.

"As soon as the two countries launched trade, a caravan carrying goods from Daqi killed more than twenty people."

The barbarians hung the heads of innocent people on the city wall to expose them to the sun for three days, intending to arouse the anger of the Qi soldiers.

The news came half a month ago. I thought that the barbarian's petty quarrel was not going to be successful, so I didn't take it to heart.

Yesterday afternoon, a beacon fire was lit in a neighboring city to send messages.

The emperor called urgently overnight, and several generals of the Mo family discussed with the adults of the Ministry of War in the royal study, and set off at dawn to conquer the North.

"Princess Yutan is ready to go. She has arrived at Mo's house now."

Xie Zhao explained the situation succinctly, but Jiang Huaiqing couldn't wait any longer. He turned to look at his younger sister Jiang Yuzhu, his lips trembling as if he had a thousand words to say.

Jiang Huaiqing was never defensive about his family and always had his thoughts written on his face.

Jiang Yuzhu sighed sadly in his heart, but smiled lightly on his face: "Second brother, it's just a short separation. In the past, you went south to check the accounts, and we brother and sister also had to be separated for half a year, so there is no need to worry."

The separation is for a better reunion.

"My eldest brother is taking care of my parents, so you can rest assured."

Jiang Yuzhu's tone was firm, without any intention of complaining.

With the support of his whole family, Jiang Huaiqing straightened his back and his energy was different. He laughed loudly and said: "Little sister, there is Honghong who needs your help to take care of her."

It would be safer for Honghong to stay in the Xie Mansion than in the Jiang family.

Jiang Yuzhu waved her hand as if impatiently: "Okay, when the time comes, put the red hair in the letter and send the goose feathers thousands of miles away..."

An hour later, it was almost dawn, and Jiang Huaiqing got up and left.

Jiang Yuzhuyi saw each other off at the door. Seeing Jiang Huaiqing turn around, she raised her lips and waved vigorously, repeating it several times until Jiang Huaiqing disappeared from her sight.

At this moment, Jiang Yuzhu was still smiling, but a tear fell from the corner of her eye.

She turned back to the study and put out the oil lamp and candle.

The room fell into darkness, Jiang Yuzhu curled up on the chair, holding Hong Hong in her arms, her whole face buried in Hong Hong's warm hair.

Jiang Yuzhu's shoulders shook and her eyes were blocked by mist. She wiped it with the back of her hand and let out a suppressed sob.

Even if you act calm and cool in front of others, you are still holding on.

She and her second brother have always had a good relationship, so how could she not be worried?

"Yuzhu, second brother will be safe and sound."

Xie Zhao felt a dull pain in his heart. He hugged Jiang Yuzhu into his arms and brushed the tears from the corners of her eyes with his warm fingertips.

Apart from saying a few pale words to comfort him, Xie Zhao's mind went blank and he was at a loss.

In his eyes, even when faced with life and death difficulties, Jiang Yuzhu never shed a single tear.

She still cares too much about her family.

Jiang Yuzhu wiped her tears with Xie Zhao's clothes, sniffed, and said in a soft tone: "If I show worry in front of my second brother, how can he have no worries?"

Whatever Jiang Huaiqing likes and yearns for, as long as he chooses, Jiang Yuzhu will support it, but support does not mean approval. She does not want to see her second brother in danger at all.

There are no weapons or weapons on the battlefield, and accidents happen frequently.

Jiang Yuzhu was far away in the capital and couldn't help at all. If he got the news, he would just be anxious.

With random thoughts, Jiang Yuzhu was confused and fell into a huge whirlpool.

Xie Zhao sighed helplessly. He pressed his wife into his arms, put his forehead against her hair, and said warmly: "Is that why you deliberately act indifferent and cry behind your back?"

"Wouldn't it be unlucky to cry in front of my second brother?"

If she couldn't help it, Jiang Yuzhu didn't want to show her weakness in front of Xie Zhao.

Xie Zhao looked at her without saying a word, but silently tied Jiang Yuzhu's messy hair behind his head.

Finally, I felt the soft fragrance in my arms, but it was not the time to take advantage.

Xie Zhao gently stroked Jiang Yuzhu's back, waiting for her to sort out her emotions.

All he can do is accompany her.

After a long time, Jiang Yuzhu finally moved uneasily, and her voice was hoarse from crying: "I'm fine."

"Now that you're done, you want to burn down the bridge?"

Xie Zhao shook his arms, and his clothes had already turned into a veil, catching Jiang Yuzhu's tears and ensuring that none of them fell on the ground.

Jiang Yuzhu turned away, her eyes wandered, and she asked in an evasive manner: "Yuanhe, is it time for you to go to the morning court?"

Xie Zhao narrowed his eyes slightly, raised his hand and gently rubbed Jiang Yuzhu's cheek, and said in a low voice: "I have wasted my time, what can I do to make up for my husband?"

"Then you didn't tell me sooner!"

Jiang Yuzhu has made it clear that she won't admit it, so don't rely on her!

Xie Zhao did not let go, but hugged Jiang Yuzhu tighter: "Why, you don't want me to keep what happened tonight a secret? If my wife doesn't give me any benefits, my husband can only tell my second brother to know."

"you……"

Before the word "shameless" could be uttered, Xie Zhao had already leaned down.

Along with a faint smile, Jiang Yuzhu felt a warm touch on her lips, carrying Xie Zhao's unique refreshing breath.

Jiang Yuzhu was stunned, as if something in her head suddenly burst open.

At the door, figures swayed.

Liang'an had been standing for a while, and it was almost dawn.

"Master, madam, I'm here to ask, is Honghong still in the study?"

In the study room, several ancient books from the previous dynasty are extremely precious and cannot be harmed by Hong Hong.

Jiang Yuzhu was reminded by Liang An and looked at the motionless goose in her arms. It took a long time to find her voice: "Yuanhe, Honghong won't be smothered to death by me, right?"

Just now, the atmosphere in the room was very strange.

Xie Zhao hugged Jiang Yuzhu, while Jiang Yuzhu hugged Honghong all the time, but Honghong didn't struggle.

"No, I just fell asleep."

Xie Zhao lit the oil lamp, took the goose, and then looked at his clothes in disbelief.

He had always liked to be clean, and he didn't mind Jiang Yuzhu's nose and tears, but not when it was Big Goose's turn.

Honghong left a puddle on his official uniform, and the surrounding area was wet with body temperature.

Xie Zhao's face turned cold. He handed the goose leg to Liang An and said, "Send it to the kitchen and stew it tonight. Please invite my father-in-law to come to the house for dinner!"

Jiang Fulu would definitely not be in a good mood after sending away his beloved son.

Xie Zhao takes this opportunity to show off and be a good son-in-law, and maybe his wife will like him more.

Jiang Yuzhu stopped him and said, "Second brother has just left Beijing, and you want to kill his Honghong?"

"Both of you are raised. Let's switch to the one who lays eggs. I will give you scrambled goose eggs from now on."

Xie Zhao strode out of the study, took a shower and changed clothes.

When the group of people arrived at the city gate to see them off, Jiang Yuzhu put on a relaxed expression again, as if she was not the one crying bitterly in Xie Zhao's arms.

Mrs. Mo came over first to say goodbye and praised highly: "The carriage remodeled by Yuzhu is practical, and it also brings a lot of food that is easy to store. It will be much easier for us to go on the road this time."

Mrs. Shen echoed a few words: "Yuzhu has some ingenuity. Zhilan grew up in the south of the Yangtze River and has not been to the north. She relies on Mrs. Mo to take care of her."

The two exchanged pleasantries, but on Jiang Yuzhu's side, saying goodbye seemed much simpler.

Jiang Yuzhu hugged Princess Yutan and whispered: "Second sister-in-law, I will leave my second brother to you!"

No matter if he goes to the North, General Mo will be there so that Jiang Huaiqing can learn his skills.

The Jiang family does not ask Jiang Huaiqing to get ahead, as long as he is safe.

Princess Yutan did not expect Jiang Huaiqing to ask to go to the North with her. She did not push away Jiang Huaiqing's kindness, but solemnly said: "Yuzhu, I will never forget my original intention."

Princess Yutan left, and there was no one left in the palace to speak to Jiang Yuzhu.

She grabbed Jiang Yuzhu and whispered: "I heard that there will be a palace banquet during the Mid-Autumn Festival. If you offend the Xuan family, the Queen Mother will definitely take the opportunity to settle accounts after the autumn. You must be cautious in the palace. If you encounter difficulties, go to Eunuch Li who is beside the emperor to repay you." Aunt Xia, who is in charge of accounting at the Queen Mother's side, can help you escape safely."
