Seeing the dark face of Jun Hua, Kuina quickly corrected her words. ”I mean it's a war to gain more territories and resources.”

She was not that stupid to the point of unable to know this. The answer from before was only a joke on her part because she wanted to know her niece reaction. Seeing the girl seemed to lose her patience, she quickly revised her answer.

Jun Hua truly wouldn't know what to do with her aunt if she really couldn't think of the real reason.

She stretched her body. ”You can ask General Tou for more discussion about war. I still have a lot of works here.”

”Can you accompany me outside?” Kuina grinned.

Jun Hua stared at the other party with dark expression. ”Don't you have something to do?”

”It won't be long. I rarely go outside the palace lately.”

General Tou asked her to do her job as the empress properly. He could tolerate her not doing work if it was about things that should be a man role, but he didn't give her any leeway when it came to things related with her task as women. Because of that, Kuina has to finish her job before she could come here.

Jun Hua glanced towards the sun position outside the room. It was still quite bright outside, and she could take a short break. It was not like she couldn't finish her work properly after taking a short break.

”Where do you want to go? Don't pick a faraway place, or it will be dark when we return later,” Jun Hua finally relented.

Kuina face brightened. ”I want to see the view of this kingdom from high above. There's a good place not far from here, but we will need to climb the steep pathway to go there.”

Jun Hua nodded her head. It was expected that they would need to walk on the narrow and hard path. Most of the mountain's path became quite dangerous when they were at higher place. Although this capital itself was not located that high, some of the roads were quite dangerous.

”Do you know the way?”

”Yes, I often go there with General Tou,” Kuina grinned.

The old general never let Princess Kuina went there by herself because it was quite dangerous. He would surely follow her whenever the princess wanted to go.

Before long, Jun Hua and Kuina already went towards the place. When General Tou heard about the two plans, he could only shake his head in frustration. He was pretty sure that with Jun Hua as the guide, he won't be able to find the two of them that easily.

”It's fine to give them some time to relax,” Jun Zhenxian laughed. ”Those lass already busy doing their work lately, they deserve a break.”

”If it's Jun Hua, I can understand. But I don't think I should allow Kuina to have another rest,” General Tou rubbed his head. The empress has more things to do now, so Kuina shouldn't have gotten out as many as before anymore.

”If it's only Jun Hua, I'm the one who will worry,” Jun Zhenxian creased his eyebrows. ”That little lass always has ridiculous plans in her head. I will get old too quick if it's only her.”

He can't refute that one. General Tou sighed and leaned back on his chair. At least, the two of them didn't go too far based on their plan.

While the two old men were talking, Jun Hua and Kuina climbed the mountain towards the place Kuina wanted to go. The empress looked at the calm girl beside her. Even after climbing for hours, she didn't seem to be tired in the slightest. She wondered whether all general have their physical ability extremely great or it was only a few of them.

”Is this the place?” Jun Hua pointed to the slight curve not far from them. The areas at that place were rocky, and they could see the scenery without the trees covered them at that place.
