The King said this casually, because in his opinion, it was just something they must do.
The Saint Divine Land was in a very serious position and had lost a few towns. What happened to Xinzhou seemed to be heading in a good direction, and the Crown Prince should have the ability to reclaim all the lost towns. There would be a lot of deaths and injuries when war started, and those soldiers were not important, yet the Crown Prince Consort and the Crown Prince should be well protected. If the Crown Prince got injured like Duke North, he would need someone with good medical skills close to him.
When he made the arrangement to bring Lord Huai and Chaoyan back to the capital, he did not think of how skillful Gu Chaoyan was, and that she should stay at Xinzhou. He just thought that she was a woman who should return with her fiance, but before they were able to arrive at the capital… the Crown Prince wrote an urgent letter, saying that Gu Chaoyan should be left at Xinzhou.
