Three months had passed since that invasion, and Huang Shu finally got the news about his mother's assassination. Fortunately, his Emperor Father helped him to cover it, saying it was a suicide. 

It was spring, and the spring flower was blooming beautifully with their fresh scent wafted on everyone's noses.

Huang Shu had been naturally promoted as second-in-command for his deed of defeating the leader of the barbarians. Even without his birthright as a prince, he still rose up in rank because of his capability.

Thus, nobody was protesting when he got promoted.

Meanwhile, Bai Yunyu continued studying strategy and was already well versed in theory. However, he focused more on the defense for the garrisons rather than invasion.

So he was helping many commanders to strengthen their stations nowadays.
