The Supporting Actress Made A Comeback

Chapter 1150 - 1152: Deployment of Defenses

Yu Siqiao met her gaze, his eyes deep as still water.

He grasped her index finger, speaking in a low and steady voice: "I have a poor stomach, so I love to eat soft rice, especially when it’s..."

Mo Shu shot him a glare.

She suspected he was making a vulgar joke, yet she had no evidence.

Yu Siqiao met her look and suddenly laughed, saying, "However, I also don’t want to be useless, so I’ll listen to you in everything."

Mo Shu snorted, pulling her finger back, saying, "Whether you listen or not, you must listen."

She reached out to pat the two little ones’ heads, "Be good and listen to Papa, Mama will be back soon."

Big Sugar Stick: "Ah-woo!"

Little Honey Pot: "Baba!"

Mo Shu gritted her teeth fiercely, "You little heartless things!"

But she could only turn around and quickly followed the eunuch to the Imperial Study Room.

As expected, upon reaching the Imperial Study Room, she saw General Song with Marquis Xuan Yuan, along with several other civil officials, including the Prime Minister and the Minister of War.

Unexpectedly, among those present was also Little General Song, Song Gu, and Young Master Xuan Yuan, Xuanyuan Yichuan.

Both had not seen Mo Shu for a long time, and when Song Gu saw her, he gave her a bright smile.

As for Xuanyuan Yichuan, his expression was complex, his heart unsettled, his eyes flickering for a long while before he finally lowered his head and greeted her formally.

Mo Shu felt somewhat apologetic towards Xuanyuan Yichuan, but the best way to handle him was not to give him any false hopes.

She merely nodded solemnly and sat down beside the Emperor.

Except for Song Gu and Xuanyuan Yichuan, the other ministers frowned upon seeing Mo Shu.

A mere woman, though she had some martial skills, was already married and had borne twins, yet she was allowed to partake in such high-level discussions?

However, their discontent stayed in their hearts and was not expressed outwardly.

Once Mo Shu arrived, she remained quietly seated, saying nothing.

After discussing matters with them, the Emperor decided to dispatch General Song along with Little General Song to quell the border, while Marquis Xuan Yuan was to take Young Master Xuan Yuan to organize the west.

Upon receiving their orders, Mo Shu spoke up, "Father Emperor, your daughter believes this decision is unwise."

Everyone turned to look.

The civil officials, already displeased, showed full expressions of disgust.

Prime Minister Wen said, "Princess, speak carefully!"

The Minister of War echoed, "As a woman, the Princess indeed should not partake in such meetings."

The Emperor frowned, yet disregarded their gazes, asking Mo Shu, "Why?"

Mo Shu said, "Military strength is the foundation of the nation’s security; if all the nation’s generals are sent to the border, can you guarantee the safety of the land in between?"

Mo Shu stood up, her voice calm yet possessing strong authoritative power.

She said, "According to the soldier who reported earlier, during the invasion by Hulong Country and Southern Border Country, they disguised themselves as foreign visitors coming to trade with Moyan Country. Who would have thought, that so many foreign soldiers would occupy our borders, causing us to lose control there?"

The Emperor frowned.

The remaining people in the Imperial Study Room also fell into deep thought.

Mo Shu said, "There is the Iron Blood General stationed permanently in the south, ensuring safety;

The west has General Wu stationed, and it can be said that the military force is the weakest there;

And the northern border, guarded by the Song Family known for remarkable troops and generals, is considered the strongest shield, so why do they not attack the west but choose the north?"
