As soon as Xiao'er returned home, the gatekeeper said, "Miss, the Sixth Prince is waiting for you in the front yard's main hall."
Upon hearing this, Xiao'er pulled back the foot that had just crossed the threshold.
Should she take the back door?
"Miss Xiao'er, have you just returned? The master has been waiting for you for a long time." Xiao Fuzi's voice rang out behind Xiao'er while she was still hesitating.
Xiao'er turned around to see Xiao Fuzi's anxious expression and quickly asked, "What happened? Is something wrong?"
"The Emperor just received an urgent report and has ordered several princes and generals to immediately enter the palace for a meeting."
An urgent report? Is there another war? Xiao'er's heart tightened.
Yes, it's the time of the autumn harvest, just when the new grain has been harvested. Winter is coming, and those people in the northwest are about to face another period of deprivation. Isn't this the perfect time for raiding and looting?
