Yue Yang stood at the doorway, looking at the tightly shut door. After a while, he lifted his hand to rub his nose, but there was no trace of panic or unease in his heart. Instead, Little Flower bloomed one by one, gradually becoming one.

Eunuch Cheng had been waiting at the inner door for nearly two hours. When he saw that his highness had not been driven out by the imperial concubine, he smiled with one eye narrowed.

"Indeed, I still need to be mature enough.

" For the sake of the harmony of the Prince's Mansion, he had truly worried his heart.

"Uncle Cheng, what happened to you?

"

Suddenly, a voice rang out and the smile on Eunuch Cheng's face froze. He turned his head slowly and felt his neck creaking like stone.

"Your Highness, why have you come out again?

"

Yue Yang pursed his lips. His mood was completely different from before, and he didn't mind Elder Cheng's resentful tone.

"Princess, you've been in a bad mood these past few days. You haven't slept much, so you don't want others to disturb you.

" Then should I get an imperial physician for the wangfei?

" Eunuch Cheng wailed in his heart,

"Aiyo, my lord! The wangfei said she slept lightly, that must be because she was too free. You wouldn't pounce on her …

" Cough cough … Tired her a little? When this person was tired, he could fall asleep even standing. As an attendant, he understood the logic behind doing so …

How could their prince not know? He did not know when he would welcome a young master. His eyes were sore, and he inexplicably wanted to cry out loud.

Seeing that Eunuch Cheng's face was scrunched up, King Yue didn't know whether to laugh or to cry.

"Don't worry Uncle Cheng, I'll be accompanying Princess Consort in the next two days. I think she'll be fine before long.

"

"Yes, Your Highness can feel at ease to accompany Princess Hua-Yang. Leave the other matters of the palace to this old servant, I guarantee that you will be able to complete it gracefully.

"

"Alright, rest early Uncle Cheng. I still need to get up early tomorrow morning.

"

"This old servant will take his leave.

"

The next day, the officials discovered that the cold aura around King Yue had disappeared overnight. Even the envoys from the northern border who were making a ruckus about meeting Helian Lo, were very patient and did not frown. They only secretly instructed the officials to take care of the messengers at the inn.

Ning Junyu was feeling unbalanced, and even after the officials had all retreated, she still left King Yue alone.

"Fourth brother, have you and Fourth Sister-in-Law made up?

"

"Un, husband and wife in one body, it's normal to quarrel at the head of the bed and the foot of the bed, isn't it so? Why does second brother look so tired, but didn't get a good rest last night?

" This person clearly wanted to see him make a fool of himself yesterday, but he didn't expect that the tides would be turned today.

Ning Junyu laughed dryly,

"I am not busy with politics. There are a lot of things I am worried about, so naturally, my sleep will be much worse.

"

"Why didn't second brother ask for an imperial physician? Those imperial physicians have a lot of medicinal ingredients in their hands that can help people sleep peacefully, even if they don't hurt their bodies.

" Seeing that there was nothing to watch, Ning Junyu started talking about business,

"Let's not talk about this, the Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon. Although we can't celebrate unrestrainedly because of the national funeral, some activities among the people are absolutely necessary.

"The people of the Beijing Guards should pay more attention. Don't let anyone else take advantage of you.

"

"Yes,

" Although it was a serious matter, King Yue's expression turned serious,

"Second brother, what do you think about the attitude of the envoys this time?

"

"The situation in the north is not good, especially with the plague, which has caused serious damage. Although we have a prescription to cure the plague, it is not easy to gather medicinal ingredients. We still need to pay extra attention to it.

"Second brother, are you worried that the Northern Frontier will deliberately spread the plague to us?

" Hmm, the reason why they sent Helian Li to make a marriage alliance was to exchange for a prescription. No one would have thought that Helian Li would make such a presumptuous decision. At the moment, the weather is getting hotter and hotter. If we don't get rid of the plague

I'm afraid the Northern Frontier will suffer a robbery.

"

"Your majesty, although the Northern Frontier and our Great Desolate Empire are two different nations, many places have borders. If they truly do not have a way to control the plague, then perhaps they will really suffer from it. Once the plague spreads to our land, even if we do have one, we will have one …

"

The medicinal formula would probably suffer heavy losses.

"

The border was remote, and transporting medicinal herbs was not easy. In addition, in order to prevent the Northern Frontier's harassment, there were many soldiers stationed at the border.

"Hmm,

" Ning Junyu thought of this and felt a headache coming,

"Right now, we can only send orders to the border guards to make sure they are on guard. In addition, we need to trouble Fourth Sister-in-Law to prepare some anti-plague pills for the hospital in case of need.

"

"En,

" King Yue thought to himself. He must also carefully warn his men to be extra careful when travelling to the Northern Frontier and the Great Desolate Province, so that they do not get taken advantage of. Also, the caravan must stop for a moment, lest they are used as sabers by the Northern Frontier.

Yue Yang brought his guard up against the northern border back to the Duke Palaces and couldn't help but discuss the plan with Mu Yunyao.

Mu Yunyao was looking through the household accounts book, and was halfway through when she saw King Yue's serious expression. She couldn't help but ask with concern,

"What happened to Fourth Master? Did something happen in the imperial court?

"

"Yao'er, today my second brother told me a few things. He told me to be on guard against the north.

"

"Northern Frontier …

" Mu Yunyao thought for a moment and felt quite fearful in her heart,

"The northern border and the northern side of the Dali Dynasty are adjacent to each other, and the water and fire between the two countries are incompatible.

"Right now, there has been a huge change in the Northern Frontier, which has forced them to show some weakness. However, once they get over it and grow back, they might have to take revenge on us.

" The people of Northern Frontier have a repetitive temperament, they only remember grudges and not favors. This is also the reason why royal father and second brother did not give them the cure for the plague for the time being.

" The Northern Frontier was like a wolf that was hard to tame. No one wanted to let a wolf eat its fill and then bite them. Thus, they gave it medicine …

Before Fang, they would first need to obtain sufficient benefits. At the very least, they couldn't let Fang Yuan get away with this in vain.

"What does Master Four want to do?

"

"Second brother has decided that he will definitely give them the cure for the plague, but the north is tough and ungrateful. No matter what, we have to teach them a lesson.

"

Right now, the Dali Empire was at odds with the northern border and Yun Rou. They could fight to the death with the cure for the plague, which would definitely cause the northern border to grow resentful towards the kingdom. It would also greatly weaken the northern border's strength, giving Yun Rou an opportunity to take advantage of it. Naturally, they would not be willing to live in the grasslands of the Northern Frontier. However, Yun Rou was different, she had a small place and her position was not that good. Furthermore, she had been suppressed by the Northern Frontier so many times that she was forced to retreat. If the strength of the Northern Frontier was weakened, Yun Rou would immediately surround and kill him like a hungry wolf. She would then occupy the Northern Frontier and absorb him into Yun Rou's group. This was not what they wanted to see.
