The emperor personally escorted the prince and his entourage to the outskirts of the capital.

Along the way, all the people in the city poured into the streets. When they saw Xiao Yunci's Kirin silver armor, they knelt down one after another, as if they were praying devoutly to God for Xiao Yunci, praying that this battle would defeat the enemy.

Instead, no one was watching the emperor's carriage, which was left out in the cold, as if it was just a decoration.

The emperor felt a little disappointed, but he also knew that what else could he be dissatisfied with now?

Xiao Yunci is indeed a rare prince. If it weren't for Xiao Yunci, Beiming would have probably already solved all the problems...

When they arrived outside the city gate, Xiao Yunci dismounted and knelt before the emperor.

The emperor looked down upon his son from behind the curtain and said some words of blessing according to the rules.

Xiao Yunci agreed, stood up and mounted his horse again. Before leaving, he suddenly looked back and saw a carriage some distance away from the imperial carriage.

It was the carriage of the prince's mansion. When the curtain of the carriage was opened, the girl's eyes were red as she stared at him blankly.

Xiao Yunci felt a pain in his heart, but now he couldn't even say words of comfort to her. He nodded towards her slowly, then raised the corners of his mouth and smiled at her.

Xiao Yunci usually smiles a lot, but his smile is always gloomy, as if he has a lot of schemes in his mind, making it hard to figure out what he is doing.

But now his smile is more dazzling than the afternoon sun.

Afterwards, he rode his horse forward, leading his army towards an unknown area, leaving Wen Ning with only his back in silver armor.

Everything seemed to be frozen at this moment. Wen Ning looked at the back of the person clutching the curtain tightly, and her heart seemed to be stabbed by something.

I could hear the discussion of the ministers who were seeing him off.

"I'm afraid that the prince's trip this time is... Alas."

"Yes, this is the first time he leads troops to fight, and the Tatar dares to specifically ask the prince to go, which means he has made all the necessary preparations to deal with the prince... This is not a battlefield, it's a blatant trap! The order from the Tatar is probably..."

"We can lose the battle, but Xiao Yunci must die."

"Doesn't the emperor care about the life of the crown prince? Besides the crown prince, who else is more suitable to inherit the throne now?"

"Is there any way? It's better than having the capital captured? Well, this battle will have to be fought sooner or later."

Wen Ning looked at Xiao Yunci's back, and the scenes of her father going on expeditions suddenly emerged in her mind.

Daddy’s armor is golden and shines incredibly brightly in the sun.

Wen Ning would come to see her father off every time. Watching her father dressed in armor and riding a horse with a high spirit leading his troops away, her father would always think of her, so before leaving every time, he would look for her in the crowd and grin at her.

That last time, Daddy smiled brightly. He looked at Wen Ning, as if to say, "Come home early, little girl, and wait for Daddy to come back."

Then he never came back.
