Chapter 617 I believe she wouldn't act so impulsively.
Chapter 617 I believe she wouldn't act so impulsively.
Huo Qing's voice was a little hoarse, and her eyes were red and swollen, so it was easy to tell that she had already cried a lot.
But at that moment, she was calm.
Like Miao Yucui, her emotions were relatively stable.
Chu Yueli looked at her for a while before nodding: "Third Aunt is indeed more impulsive than Second Aunt, which is why I asked Zisu to invite Second Aunt over."
"Don't worry, although Qing'er is impulsive, she's very calm this time, even calmer than me," Miao Yucui said softly.
In fact, Miao Yucui herself also had the urge to set off for Southern Inner Mongolia immediately.
However, as Chu Yueli thought, she was indeed more mature and composed. Although she felt impulsive, she wouldn't actually act alone without informing anyone else.
Just as Huo Qing said, this will definitely put pressure on the entire Duke's Mansion.
Huo Qing packed up the medicinal herbs, brought them into the room, and immediately began sorting and packaging them.
Miao Yucui and Chu Yueli followed them inside and immediately began to help.
Miao Yucui said, "Don't blame your Aunt Anran. She was the first to receive the news, and coincidentally, she wasn't in the capital. She was closer to Nanmeng than we are. It's only natural that she was anxious and couldn't wait to go."
"I don't blame Aunt Anran." In fact, it's a miracle that Aunt Anran has survived this long.
Six years ago, after news of Uncle Zhengnan's death on the battlefield was sent back, Aunt Anran went to Nanmeng alone and almost died there.
This time, there might be news about Chu Zhengnan, and Ning Anran will go, which is entirely within Chu Yueli's expectations.
"Second Aunt, Third Aunt, you don't need to worry too much. I believe in Aunt Anran. She would never act impulsively. Perhaps it's not a bad thing for her to go to Southern Mongolia. Her intelligence gathering ability should not be underestimated."
"So, she might not take the risk?" Huo Qing's eyes lit up. She had been worried that Ning Anran might not return.
"Actually, Qing'er and I both thought that this might be another conspiracy by the Khitans. There might not really be any surviving Chu family soldiers trapped in the Desert Wolf Mountain. If it is just a trap, it would be very dangerous for us to go there rashly."
Miao Yucui glanced at Huo Qing, who nodded but didn't say anything.
Chu Yueli finally realized that her two aunts were indeed calm enough this time, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.
“I do have concerns in this regard, but since there is news of the Chu family army, someone from our Duke’s mansion must go.”
Actually, she herself really wanted to go.
What if my parents are still alive?
What if my uncles are still safe and sound?
What if they are indeed under siege by Khitan soldiers right now?
Who doesn't have hope in their heart?
But she can't leave.
The Duke's Mansion needs her.
"Ah Li, Xiao He went to the palace to meet the Emperor early this morning. Has he returned yet?" Miao Yucui knew that someone from Nanmeng definitely had to go.
Based on current observations, this person can only be Xiao He.
But this child is newly married; he is their Duke's only hope.
"Ah Li, if your third aunt and I wanted to lead troops there, do you think the Emperor would agree?"
"No." Because none of them had experience leading troops independently, and the Emperor would never allow them to lead such a large army.
For the Chu family army in southern Mongolia, their lives mattered, and for the Chu family army still stationed in the border city, their lives also mattered.
Sending troops with no combat experience to their deaths would be tantamount to sending them to their deaths. How could the emperor possibly agree to that?
