Ye Rong went home and told his mother he was going to the Northern Border.
Mrs. Yu's face stiffened immediately, "What are you going to the Northern Border for?"
The Crown Prince hadn't leaked any news about the epidemic, so naturally, Ye Rong didn't dare say anything rashly. He simply said, "Recently, local officials from various provinces have been collecting medicinal herbs, and I've heard that the casualties among the frontline soldiers are severe. I'm worried about Dad, and I want to help him."
Mrs. Yu looked doubtful, "Did His Highness specifically ask you to go?"
"Not exactly." Ye Rong's words were half-truths, "In times of crisis, every citizen has a duty, especially since I'm a military general. In such times, I can't just hide at home seeking comfort."
"It's still not your place to go." Mrs. Yu had only one pair of children, and naturally, she didn't want to see either of them in trouble. "You just stay home peacefully, and I'll go see the Eldest Princess."
