Regardless of whether Yun Zheng was willing or not, the Emperor had already issued the decree, and he had no choice but to accept it.

So be it!

If it's a marriage decree, then so be it!

First things first, secure the military power!

After all, he was still a prince!

For a prince's wedding, even if the court ministers despised him, they would still have to show some respect, right?

Yes, seize the opportunity to gather wealth!

The more, the better!

He needed both troops and supplies!

But this meant he would have to linger in the capital for some time.

Yun Li and Consort Shu would definitely take advantage of this time to retaliate against him!

This period in the capital would be the most dangerous.

He needed to think of a strategy to handle this!

"Sixth Prince, wait a moment!"

Just as Yun Zheng was walking and pondering, the eunuch supervisor Mu Shun caught up to him.

Yun Zheng stopped and turned to look at Mu Shun, "Supervisor Mu, what do you need?"

Looking at Mu Shun, Yun Zheng's thoughts raced.

Mu Shun was a favorite of the Emperor.

Even the former Crown Prince treated Mu Shun with respect.

If he could win over Mu Shun...

But Yun Zheng quickly dismissed the idea.

He had no power, no influence, and no background. What could he offer Mu Shun?

One wrong move, and he might expose his ambitions.

If the Emperor found out he was going to the border to secure military power, he'd be dead for sure!

Mu Shun smiled and replied, "His Majesty has ordered the Sixth Prince to accompany this servant to the Shen family to deliver the decree and meet your future princess consort."

"Alright."

Yun Zheng agreed and followed Mu Shun into a carriage.

On the road, Yun Zheng kept silent, lost in his own thoughts.

But to Mu Shun, this appeared to be a sign of timidity.

"Does Your Highness know anything about the Shen family?"

Mu Shun broke the silence.

"This..."

Yun Zheng smiled awkwardly and shook his head, indicating he did not know.

He genuinely did not know.

Having lived deep within the palace, he had the air of someone who paid no attention to the outside world, knowing little about events inside or outside the palace.

Mu Shun chuckled and then explained, "The Shen family is a true house of loyal heroes..."

Five years ago, Emperor Wen personally led the campaign against Beihuan.

Shen Nanzheng served as the general of the vanguard, leading his family's men alongside the Emperor.

After two months of intense fighting, Emperor Wen misjudged the situation and fell into Beihuan's trap, surrounded by their forces.
