"Don't worry, it's nothing to delay for a day or two." Si Haochen rubbed Ming Ruo's frown with his fingertips. "Although Beichi plans for several months, after experiencing the entire severe winter, the horses and soldiers are not strong enough, so they dare not start a war rashly..."

"According to this, now is not the best time to start a war." Mingruo's big eyes turned, "but they have any reliance or... purpose on the border?"

Si Haochen narrowed his eyes slightly. Beichi always provoked war every three or five years. On the one hand, it was to rob food, and on the other hand, the Emperor Beichi asked all tribes to contribute people and money to fight in the name of war, so that the tribes would not be too powerful and threaten his rule.

Si Haochen originally thought that the same was true for this war, but after the analysis of the little girl, he also noticed the taste of conspiracy. The northwest was bitter and cold. At this time, there was not much left in the grain harvest last year, and new grain had just been planted. It was impossible to grab the grain.

In the past, even if the war was about to start, they would choose to rob the food before and after the autumn harvest, and then run away. In the end, they were defeated and the food was obtained. Although they lost many people, they could at least survive the cold winter with food.

Si Haochen thought of the current situation in Xikang, and the frequent appearance of poisons from Xikang near the imperial capital - the Beichi Chenbing border may be just a cover, to attract attention for others...

With this idea, the idea becomes clearer and clearer. If Beichi fights one-sidedly, it will definitely fight quickly, because they have no food and grass, and the longer they drag it, the more unfavorable it becomes. The reason why they are still holding their troops is either waiting for support or being a gun for others.

The scout's investigation direction needs to be adjusted, and other deployments must also be adjusted. Duke Yasukuni should also notify him in advance and ask him to prepare early and not be caught off guard...

Si Haochen thought of Feng Muling, who was still recovering from the imperial capital, if he helped him gain power in Xikang, would he stabilize the situation in Xikang? After all, it was not a wise move to go to war with the two countries at the same time with Donghuan's current national strength.

"I'll arrange something. I'll take you to a place later." Si Haochen took Ming Ruo into his arms and hugged him.

"Okay." Ming Ruo could also see that Si Haochen should have many things to re-plan.

"My Ruoer is a little lucky star." The little girl really helped a lot this time, otherwise she might have suffered a big loss.

Ming Ruo 'boosted' on Si Haochen's cheek: "Xiao Fuxing has blessed you, go and work quickly, and you can make twice the result with half the effort."

"Yes." Si Haochen let go of Ming Ruo and went to the East Parting Palace to handle affairs. The secret guards sent to various places one by one, and the instructions were issued one by one.

In early summer, Jiangnan is already very hot. There is a pavilion dedicated to cooling in the backyard of the Jieyue Pavilion. Use a mechanism to pump water to the top of the pavilion and then sprinkle it from all over the country, just like rain. The evaporation of water vapor can absorb heat, and the dripping water droplets around make people feel particularly cool.

Mingruo carefully read the pharmacopoeia in front of him, and from time to time he used a pen to leave some annotations and his own thoughts in the blank space. Before he knew it, the sunset quietly dyed the sky red.

Si Haochen walked through the small bridge leading to the pavilion in the middle of the lake and saw the little princess reading seriously, meticulously, quiet and beautiful.

Although Mingruo reads books seriously, Si Haochen came over and she still knew: "Are you done with it?"

"Yes." Si Haochen sat down beside Mingruo.

Mingruo found that his boyfriend's lips were a little dry. He probably had been busy for the afternoon and didn't even bother to take a sip of tea. He quickly put down the pen in his hand, poured a cup of tea and put it in front of Si Haochen: "Drink some tea first."

"Okay." Si Haochen was indeed thirsty and finished drinking a cup of tea in two sips.

Mingruo gave him a full list of words: "Are you hungry or not? Do you want to pass on some snacks?"

"No." Si Haochen shook his head and looked at the pharmacopoeia spread on the table. "Are you free now? I want to take you to a place."

"Oh." Mingruo put the bookmarks and put the pharmacopoeia into the 'sleeved bag', "Where to go? Do you want to ride a horse?"

"Just ride with me." Si Haochen directly grabbed Mingruo's waist and flew out of the yard with her.

The two rode together and headed towards Cuiping Peak east of the villa in the sunset. Cuiping Peak is different from the surrounding mountains, with a gentle mountain landscape, so horses can go directly to the hillside.

Si Haochen held Ming Ruo's hand and walked up the stone steps made of white marble.

At the end of the stone steps, the pines and cypresses surrounded a white jade stele. The stele is shiny and shiny, without any words, and only cloud patterns are carved around it. Mingruo always feels familiar when he looks at it.

Ming Ruo took out the jade plaque from the Yunzhong Hall from the "sleeved bag" and found that the white jade stele was almost an enlarged version of the jade plaque, but there was an additional set of dragon patterns engraved at the top.

Si Haochen came to the jade stele, wiped the jade stele carefully with a handkerchief. Then he turned to the front of the jade stele and knelt down: "Ruoer, come here."

"Oh." Mingruo walked to him and saw Si Haochen kneeling. He almost subconsciously knelt beside him.

Si Haochen saw that the little girl was so self-conscious, and was very satisfied: "My parents were buried here."

"Ah..." Ming Ruo had known for a long time that Concubine Shen was not Si Haochen's biological mother, and her attitude towards Si Haochen was not like that of her biological mother. However, the Supreme Emperor was so kind to Si Haochen, wasn't he actually his biological father?

Seeing Mingruo's surprised expression, Si Haochen held Mingruo's hand: "Let's kowtow to your father and mother first."

"Oh." Ming Ruo kowtowed obediently with Si Haochen.

Si Haochen helped her up, and the two turned to the side and sat down directly on the stone steps: "Does Ruoer know about the Yunmeng Empire?"

"I've heard of it." Ming Ruo took a lot of historical books from Xuan'er before, and he could only be regarded as hearing about the "Yunmeng Empire". He didn't know at all about what he said.

Because the history of the Yunmeng Empire ruled the Shenhua Continent for more than 700 years seems to have been deliberately erased. A few historical books only record the name of Yunmeng Empire, and the relevant records are completely blank. There are also many historical books that do not even record the name of "Yunmeng Empire", but only use the word "Foreign Dynasties".

When Mingruo heard Si Haochen's question, he turned his brain quickly. Thinking of Si Haochen's attitude towards Danxu, a bold idea came out: "You shouldn't be the royal family of the previous dynasty, or the kind of direct lineage who is qualified to restore the country."

"Uh, it's..." Si Haochen never expected that the little girl was so smart that she could guess from one of his questions, from the small to the big ones, and she could guess it right.

"..." No, Si Haochen not only had a 'male protagonist face', but even this identity... was definitely a good fortune for the male protagonist.

"If you want to ask, ask." Si Haochen originally had a lot of words to "confess" with the princess, but the little girl guessed it himself, and he didn't know what to say.
