At this time, Ye Zifen couldn't help but lower her head slightly.

She was filled with guilt, thinking that it was her fault that caused her husband to leave the capital and go to the difficult border to guard.

Thinking of this, her eyes, as clear as autumn water, were filled with tears, which quietly slid down her cheeks.

At this time, Zhang Gaoyi gently stretched out his hand and tenderly held Ye Zifen's slightly cold hand.

He sensed his wife's inner anxiety and worry, so he comforted her: "Xiaowu, don't be too sad. Although the journey to the border is long, fortunately you are not too far away from me. As long as I have the chance, I will come back to visit you often."

After saying this, he held Ye Zifen's hand tightly, giving her a little warmth and strength.

The carriage moved forward slowly, and the noise outside seemed to be isolated.

Inside the car, the two held hands tightly, as if this could keep each other's warmth.

When the carriage they were riding in slowly stopped in front of the Princess's mansion, before they could get out, the familiar and anxious figure of Nanny Qi came into view.

She hurried forward and said respectfully, "Princess, Old Master Hong and Old Madam Hong have just arrived at the mansion and are waiting for you in the hall!"

Ye Zifen was shocked when she heard this and quickly reached out to push the car door. She moved so quickly that she almost lost her balance and fell off the car.

At this critical moment, Zhang Gaoyi on the side reacted extremely quickly. He quickly grabbed Ye Zifen's arm and held her steadily.

Seeing his wife so flustered, Zhang Gaoyi couldn't help but complain softly: "Don't be so anxious, it doesn't matter if you come slowly. I think grandpa and grandma must have heard about what happened in the court and are worried so they came to visit. After we meet them, we will slowly explain everything to them."

After hearing her husband's comforting words, Ye Zifen's originally anxious heart immediately calmed down a lot. She nodded gently and responded, "Okay, then it's as you say. Let's go and pay them a visit now. I just don't know if there will be other people visiting next..."

As she spoke, Ye Zifen took a deep breath, trying to calm her pounding heart.

After tidying up her slightly messy skirt, Ye Zifen and Zhang Gaoyi walked side by side, walking quickly towards the hall with tight yet dignified and elegant steps.

After traveling all the way, Ye Zifen finally arrived at the door of the magnificent hall.

She stopped, took a few deep breaths, and tried to calm her slightly nervous mind. Then she gathered herself together, carefully raised her feet, and slowly stepped into the hall.

As soon as she entered the hall, Ye Zifen's eyes fell on the center.

I saw Old Master Hong and Old Madam Hong sitting there with anxious looks on their faces, and their expressions seemed very solemn.

When Mrs. Hong saw Ye Zifen coming in, she stood up from her seat immediately as if she had found a life-saving straw and walked quickly towards Ye Zifen.

Old Master Hong frowned tightly, and the wrinkles on his forehead were like deep ravines, as if carrying endless worries.

Mrs. Hong's eyes were filled with deep worry, and that look made people feel pity.

Before Ye Zifen could even open her mouth to speak, the anxious Madam Hong couldn't wait to ask, "Child, what happened? Why did the Emperor suddenly order the Duke of Chongguo to garrison the border, but arranged for you to go to the distant grassland?"

Ye Zifen hurried forward a few steps, first gently supported Madam Hong, and slowly helped her back to her seat, then smiled comfortingly and said, "Madam, don't be so anxious, sit down and listen to me slowly."

After Madam Hong sat down, Ye Zifen turned around and walked to the side, personally picked up a cup of freshly brewed tea, and gently handed it to Madam Hong.

After doing all this, Ye Zifen smiled and continued, "In fact, the reason is not difficult to understand. General Zhenbei is now old, and his physical condition is not as good as before. He has felt a little powerless for several years."

At this point, Ye Zifen couldn't help but sigh softly, and then said with emotion: "Fortunately, in the past few years, we have won many battles against those fierce enemies on the grassland, and beat those wolf-like and tiger-like guys to the point where there are only a few left. Otherwise, I'm afraid that our border areas of Daxia will never be as peaceful and tranquil as they are now."

He suddenly changed the subject and continued, "However, those respected old generals have indeed reached old age, and their energy and physical strength are not as good as before! Therefore, now we urgently need a group of vigorous and high-spirited young generals to step forward and take over their responsibilities. Isn't it natural for a brave and fearless general like Gao Yi to go to the front line?"

When she said this, Madam Hong frowned slightly, stretched out her slightly dry hands, slowly took the exquisite teacup handed to her, took a sip, and continued: "Although this is indeed the truth, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and dangers are lurking everywhere. There are swords everywhere, and life and death are unpredictable! How can an old woman like me not be nervous and worried about this day and night?"

Hearing what Old Lady Hong said, Ye Zifen, who was sitting beside her, hurriedly patted the back of her hand and comforted her softly, "Old Lady, don't worry! Gao Yi is not only a superb martial artist, but also a brilliant thinker. He will surely be able to handle the situation well and be invincible on the battlefield. With his ability, he will surely establish a great military exploit in the distant frontier and go down in history."

However, Madam Hong continued to shake her head and sigh, her face full of worry, muttering to herself: "What military merits are there? Now your husband is the Duke of Chongguo, do you still want to make the opposite sex a king? Those are secondary things to me. My only wish now is that you soldiers who are away on the expedition can return safely and not make your family members worry all day long."

After hearing what Madam Hong said from the bottom of her heart, Ye Zifen's eyes became more resolute. She said solemnly, "Madam, please believe in Gao Yi. He resolutely went to the border this time out of his loyalty to the country, in order to defend our land and safeguard the peace and tranquility of Daxia. This is a supremely glorious mission! I firmly believe that Gao Yi and his men will never disappoint the high hopes that the current emperor has placed on him, and will not disappoint the millions of people in Daxia!"
