Father, who is both a heir and a descendant, is still biased; the bound system has gone berserk.

"Madam, what happened? What did the letter say?" Shi Shu and Shi Hua looked at Shangguan Tang with unease.

Shangguan Tang handed them the letter, saying, "Tan'er, you've gotten quite bold!"

Poetry and calligraphy took the letter, and after reading its contents, they both gaped in astonishment.

The second young lady actually hid in the carriage that the princess and the others left in, intending to go to the Southern Barbarian Lands with them.

"Madam, what should we do? Should we send people to chase after them now?"

Poetry, calligraphy, painting, and poetry flowed swiftly.

Shangguan Tang moved her lips, her eyes hardening slightly, and said, "No, we can't chase after them."

Poetry, books, poetry, and painting looked at Shangguan Tang with puzzlement.

Shangguan Tang said, "If we go after them, it will cause quite a commotion. Fu'er and her group have heavy responsibilities, so we must not alert others."

"Fu'er is powerful and will surely find Tan'er soon. With her there, Tan'er will be safe."

"But the Second Miss has never traveled far from home." Shi Shu Shi Hua was still worried.

It would be a lie to say that Shangguan Tang wasn't worried. She tried to remain calm and said, "Tan'er's health is not what it used to be. It would be good for her to go out and broaden her horizons."

The convoy sped out of the imperial city and headed towards the official road outside the city.

The carriage in which Ying Yufu sat was very spacious. She sat with the Crown Prince and Shangguan Sheng, and there was also a large box inside the carriage.

That large box was prepared by Shangguan Tang; it was full of things he would need when going out.

"Come out, Tan'er," Ying Yufu suddenly said.

Everyone was stunned.

Then, the lid of the large box in the corner was slowly lifted by a pair of small hands, and a small head popped out from inside.

The Crown Prince and Shangguan Sheng looked astonished.

Ying Yufu looked at Tan'er with a smile.

A hint of guilt flashed across Tan'er's face. Her bright, dark crescent-shaped eyes flickered, and she said weakly, "Sister, you never take Tan'er with you when you go out. Tan'er also wants to go out and see the world."

The more she talked, the more aggrieved she seemed.

Like an abandoned kitten.

She looked at Ying Yufu with reproach.

Ying Yufu beckoned to her, "Come, Tan'er, come out."

Tan'er then lifted the lid and crawled out of the box.

"Tell your sister, who knows you sneaked out?" Ying Yufu asked, pinching the little tuft of hair on her head.

"Nobody knows, but I left a letter for my mother," Tan'er said earnestly.

Well done, they've all learned to leave a note and run away.

"This will not happen again," Ying Yufu said.

Tan'er's eyes lit up. "Sister, are you not planning to send me back?"

Ying Yufu narrowed her eyes, "We're leaving home this time on a mission that's very dangerous, and we can't alert anyone, so we can't take you back."

A hint of secret joy flashed in Tan'er's eyes.

Ying Yufu took in her expression. This little girl had recovered her health and had also developed her own opinions.

Good.

She actually supported Tan'er going out to see the world.

Despite the many dangers outside, she never considered Tan'er to be a delicate flower in a greenhouse.

But Mother will probably have to worry.

"Tan'er, next time you have an idea, you can ask your sister. You're not allowed to leave a note and run away on your own. Do you know how worried your mother is when you do this?"

Ying Yufu reprimanded him in a deep voice.

Tan'er lowered her head guiltily and said, "Sister, Tan'er knows she was wrong. Tan'er will never do it again. Next time, Tan'er will just talk to you directly, as long as you don't refuse me."

"Whether or not to refuse you depends on the situation," Ying Yufu said.

"I understand, sister," Tan'er said obediently.

"Sister, how did you find out about me?" Tan'er asked.

Ying Yufu chuckled, "I've been hearing the breathing of a little pig inside the box."

Tan'er wasn't annoyed at being called a little pig; instead, she asked in surprise, "Sister, you already knew about me? Why did you only say so now?"

Ying Yufu reached out and patted her forehead. "Of course, I also want to take you out to see the world."

Tan'er's eyes lit up, and she happily rushed into Ying Yufu's arms.

The little girl was overjoyed.

The Crown Prince and Shangguan Sheng remained silent, but upon seeing this scene, they both smiled slightly.

"I also think the little girl should broaden her horizons, but this journey may be dangerous. Will Tan'er be afraid?"

"Brother-in-law Crown Prince, I'm not afraid!" Tan'er raised her little head and said loudly.

The Crown Prince was deeply pleased by the address of "Brother-in-law Crown Prince." He beamed with joy, his face glowing, and his eyes shone with a kind and loving light as he looked at Tan'er.

Shangguan Sheng grinned, taken aback by Tan'er's address of "Crown Prince Brother-in-law".

The little girl speaks without thinking.

The Crown Prince glanced at him and said, "Holy Son, you should learn from Tan'er. Tan'er is very polite."

Shangguan Sheng remained expressionless and said, "Your Highness, I respect you more, which is why I call you Your Highness. You and my sister are not married yet."

The prince pursed his lips, thinking that the little girl was much cuter.

Boys are not popular.

He gave Shangguan Sheng a disdainful look. "After your sister and I return from the Southern Barbarian lands, we'll be getting married. It's all the same whether you call me brother-in-law sooner or later. Be good, call me brother-in-law now."

The Crown Prince swore that Tan'er's calling him "brother-in-law" just now made him feel incredibly proud.

Shangguan Sheng pursed his lips and remained silent.

Ying Yufu, however, did not blush at all; she even found the term "brother-in-law" quite novel.

At this moment, the lightning above the Southern Barbarian Inn had dissipated.

However, the Nanman Trojan Horse, which the Nanman people were so proud of and for which they paid a huge price, was completely destroyed.

In the main hall of the sanctuary, a group of southern barbarians were either sitting or standing, and some were still unconscious.

"The Trojan Horse was destroyed by lightning. This Northern Xuan is simply our nemesis. Ever since we came to Northern Xuan, we have suffered greatly!" Wutusu said sternly.

Ying Hengzhi glanced at him and thought to herself: Isn't that exactly what's going on with you guys? Bei Xuan has Ying Yufu, who possesses a system.

Let alone you, anyone who comes to Beixuan will suffer greatly.

"We've not only lost three cities, but now even the Trojan Horse is destroyed, not to mention the treasures we gave them... We've suffered a huge loss this time!"

High Priest Xuanfeng was pale and weak, deeply shocked.

"Yeah, what a huge loss! Bei Xuan is so greedy, isn't he afraid of getting bloated to death?" Lan Lie said through gritted teeth.

"A small act of impatience can ruin a great plan. Since things have come to this, we accept it." Lan Yan's face was extremely gloomy.

"High Priest Blue Goose, are we just going to accept this?"

Everyone looked at Lan Yan, their faces full of resentment.

Lan Yan looked at them: "Otherwise what? What else do you want?"

"In my opinion, we should leave Beixuan as soon as possible. The sooner we leave, the sooner we can get rid of this place that is so unlucky for us," Wutusu said.

Lan Yan remained silent for a moment, then looked at Ying Hengzhi in the corner.

"Child, come here." She beckoned to Ying Hengzhi.

Ying Hengzhi carefully stepped forward and studied the expression on Lan Yan's face.

"Child, don't be nervous. I think you must be very curious as to why we went to such great lengths to get you back."

Ying Hengzhi's expression flickered, and confusion showed in her eyes.

"Yes, I really don't understand."
