Chapter 233 gives his own answer
"Yan Yan, you have to understand that whether on the way to the northwest or at the front line, all the dangers are not just aimed at one person. At that time, national affairs will come first, and any sacrifice is possible!" Mo Yuchen was not afraid of anything else, but that everyone would be too busy to take care of themselves, and he would not have time to take care of Xia Yanxiang.
Xia Yanxiang knew Mo Yuchen's concerns: "I know, I will try my best to protect myself and will not hold anyone back."
"Yan Yan! You are not a drag!" Mo Yuchen corrected Xia Yanxiang, "I know you have an idea, but the road ahead is dangerous, so it's better to be safe than sorry."
"It's not that I don't believe in your ability, it's just..." I'm afraid something might happen to you.
Xia Yanxiang didn't understand. Since Mo Yuchen thought she wouldn't hold him back, why didn't he agree to take her with him?
Xia Yanxiang did not insist any longer, but stared straight into Mo Yuchen's eyes, trying to find a reason to convince him.
For the rest of the journey, Mo Yuchen and Xia Yanxiang did not speak again. Yizhu, who was sitting outside, heard the silence and tried to reach the Right Prime Minister's Mansion as soon as possible with trepidation.
After entering the Right Prime Minister's Residence, Xia Yanxiang and Mo Chen both bowed to everyone.
After not seeing each other for a long time, Tu Song and others still felt a little uncomfortable when they saw Mo Yuchen bowing: "Your Highness, there is no need to bow."
"Everyone here is an elder, so it's only right to show respect."
"…Your Highness, please sit down first! Yan'er, sit down too!"
After Mo Yuchen and Xia Yanxiang sat down, Tu Song began to speak: "Your Highness, you have worked hard in the Dali Temple during this period of time."
"Uncle, don't worry. I just stayed in the Dali Temple for some time. I wasn't punished or anything. Everything is fine." As he said this, Mo Yuchen glanced at Xia Yanxiang. He was not sure whether Tu Song and others knew that Xia Yanxiang went to the Dali Temple to see him, so he did not bring it up.
Tu Song nodded and stopped dwelling on this matter. "The emperor has issued an order. Bai'er and Boyi will go to war in seven days. Although the emperor asked His Royal Highness Prince Luo to go with him, he will go as a low-level soldier. Does Your Royal Highness know about this?"
Mo Yuchen nodded, the imperial edict had already made it clear.
"That's good. Everything has been prepared. This expedition is bound to be full of crises, especially on the way there. The assassination by Prince Yuan and the Left Prime Minister is bound to be inevitable." Tu Song and others also thought of this, so they specifically reminded Mo Yuchen.
Mo Yuchen nodded again.
Xia Zhibai looked at Mo Yuchen, and then said: "This trip is extremely dangerous. Regardless of whether we win this battle, we must first ensure that His Royal Highness Prince Luo can reach the northwest smoothly, so I will make arrangements in advance and put His Royal Highness Prince Luo next to me, and I will protect him closely."
Tu Song nodded: "It's a good idea."
"This is not appropriate," Mo Yuchen frowned and expressed his opinion, "If my father or Prince Yuan's people knew about this, they would definitely think that the people in the army had ulterior motives."
"I will keep it confidential." Xia Zhibai said seriously.
Mo Yuchen still felt that something was wrong: "Since my father has clearly stated that I should start from the bottom of the army, he will definitely have someone keep an eye on me and will not let anyone replace me so easily."
Xia Yanxiang, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up at this moment: "Why not let me go too? I have a way to protect His Royal Highness Prince Luo."
"!" Tu Song and others were shocked, and no one could say anything.
"Yan Yan! I said no!" The first one to object was Mo Yuchen.
Mo Yuchen's face turned very dark, and veins popped out on his forehead: "I don't agree with this!"
Xia Zhibai reacted and disagreed: "Yan'er, you can't! Just stay in the capital!"
Then Tu Ling's voice of opposition came out: "Yan'er! Don't mess around with this!"
"I'm not fooling around." Xia Yanxiang stood up calmly and walked to the center of the main hall. "Prince Yuan and the Left Prime Minister want to kill Prince Luo, but they won't kill me. I can attract their attention and protect Prince Luo to a certain extent."
Mo Yuchen's face was extremely dark, and he obviously disagreed terribly, but he just kept holding back and didn't vent his anger: "Yan Yan, you don't know how many assassinations there are along the way, and neither do we. We can't let you take this risk!"
"Yes, Yan'er, this expedition is too dangerous, so don't make a fuss. Just stay in the capital, okay?" Tu Ling quickly followed Mo Yuchen's words to persuade Xia Yanxiang.
Xia Yanxiang also looked very determined: "Mother, it is because this trip is dangerous that I have to go. I have always been the focus and the most important chess piece in the whole thing, so I must go to affect the whole situation."
"Yan'er!" Xia Zhibai also disagreed with this matter, "You have already sacrificed enough for this matter, there is no need to risk your life for this!"
Xia Zhibai was a little excited. Xia Yanxiang saw it, but she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, "Brother, you don't know that the one who sacrificed his life for this matter was not me, but you!"
In the previous life, on the way to the northwest, although Mo Fuchen had no connection with the Tu family at that time, Xia Zhibai still tried his best to protect Mo Fuchen. He even blocked an assassination for Mo Fuchen, and as a result, he sustained old injuries and even died on the battlefield.
"Brother, the most important thing for this expedition is the battle in the northwest. Protecting King Luo's safe arrival is only a secondary matter. Your lives are extremely important for this expedition. You can't lose your lives for King Luo, but I can." Xia Yanxiang's tone was a little anxious, but she still forced herself to try to convince them.
"Enough!" Mo Yuchen finally couldn't help himself and stood up to interrupt Xia Yanxiang, "I can protect myself on this trip, I don't need you to go and sacrifice for me!"
Mo Yuchen didn't understand why Xia Yanxiang insisted on following them. Was it really to protect him? But he didn't need her at all!
Xia Yanxiang stubbornly didn't look at Mo Yuchen's expression. She clenched her teeth, her eyes slightly red.
"Uncle, what do you think?" Xia Yanxiang failed to convince Xia Zhibai and Tu Ling for the first time, so she could only place her last bit of hope on Tu Song.
The current situation is that no one can convince the other, and Xia Zhibai and others looked at Tu Song.
Tu Song looked at Tu Ling, saw the request on Tu Ling's face, then looked at Xia Zhibai and Mo Yuchen. Both of them had expressions of extreme disapproval on their faces, and were even very angry.
"Uncle!" Xia Zhibai was extremely angry and would never agree to let Xia Yanxiang go with him!
Mo Yuchen didn't say anything, but stared at Xia Yanxiang. Although he was very angry, he didn't release his anger.
Tu Song pursed his lips, as if he was thinking about something. Under the stare of these people, he finally slowly gave his answer.
