The person is still the sa person, the face is still the sa face.
The Emperor sees him every day, but the feeling of change in his handso appearance is becoming more pronounced.
After so thought, he nodded and said, "Indeed, there is so resemblance."
The cousin laughed heartily and said, "It seems not only do I think so, even Your Majesty feels the sa way. It seems my cousin has a deep connection with the young masters."
"Naturally," Yu Siqiao smiled faintly, "When I first t them, I felt as if we were old friends, as if they were my own children, like an unseen string binds us together."
The cousin laughed even louder, saying, "Cousin, you speak of a string, indeed it’s a string, and this string is as if a Heavenly Immortal descended in the form of Princess Mo. Cousin, you are truly blessed, it’s enviable!"
Mo Shu listened on the side, feeling utterly bored, cracking seeds while trying to recall where he had heard this cousin’s voice before.
This voice indeed sounded familiar.
Could it be Sun Qing?
Mo Shu felt it wasn’t impossible, yet the voice was sowhat different from Sun Qing’s.
It was evidently younger.
The banquet soon ended, and the two children clung to Yu Siqiao, trying to stand, looking rather strenuous and exhausted, but their laughter was louder and more excited than ever.
’Ding’
[Main mission received: Dispatch the Prince Consort as the Vanguard General]
Mo Shu was startled, not yet understanding what it ant when a sharp voice ca from outside: "Report!!"
An eunuch rushed in, kneeled in the grand hall, and said, "Your Majesty, an urgent report from the border!"
An urgent report from the border?
The Emperor’s expression changed, "Speak quickly!"
The eunuch took a breath and hurriedly said, "Bandits from Hulong Country have invaded, allied with the Southern Border Country People, their montum furiously strong. Currently, General Song at the border can barely hold them off and has specifically sent soone to request reinforcents."
The Emperor laughed angrily, "What a Hulong Country, a re speck of land, dares to attack in alliance with the Southern Border—just a ragtag group! And Song Lian can’t hold them?"
Mo Shu furrowed his brows, "Father, given that they dare to invade, they must be thoroughly prepared. It’s not unusual that General Song can’t hold them off, it’s not his fault."
Standing up, Mo Shu walked down two steps, asking the little eunuch, "Who delivered the report? Let that person co forward."
"This..." The little eunuch hesitated, "Princess, the soldier was covered in blood and dirt, we’re afraid he might taint the front of the hall, so we reported instead."
"No matter, let him in."
"Yes."
The little eunuch promptly bowed and withdrew.
The soldier, looking disheveled, quickly approached, knelt, and after reporting to see the Emperor, Mo Shu finally asked, "What is the current situation at the border? How is General Song now?"
The soldier trembled and said, "To report to the Princess, the invasion was too sudden, with over thirty thousand invaders, and the six thousand stationed at the border are no match!"
As he spoke, his voice trembled, choking as he said, "General Song fought desperately to protect the city gate at the border, now he’s severely wounded with countless comrades dead or injured. The border is now a river of blood, the enemy clearly prepared, having previously disguised themselves as rchants and farrs. We caught so suspicious individuals days ago but couldn’t have imagined their numbers would be so vast..."
Upon hearing this, the Emperor finally beca alert, and his expression turned grim.
