Chapter 1299 - 980: Zhou Yanchen Enters the Capital, Doctor’s Wife Faces Difficult Labor
Two of the dark guards left behind to handle these matters thought that nothing would happen to them at the Ji Family!
Unexpectedly, someone would dare to sneak into the Ji Family at this time.
This is truly fortunate, their merit has simply been delivered to them for nothing.
With a hidden sense of pleasure, the two dark guards jumped down and directly fought with the five intruders in black.
Both sides were secretly startled when they exchanged moves!
These tricks, the levels seem to resemble death warriors?
"Who are you? What are you doing at the Ji Family? Who sent you?"
The two guards shouted fiercely at their opponents.
However, the other party remained silent, their target clearly headed towards the courtyard of the eldest young master.
Unable to match the five intruders, the two dark guards decisively set off the signal fireworks for help!
In the palace, just as the royal family planned to have a late-night snack, a man in black came to report.
"Your Majesty! Signal fireworks for help have been released from the Ji Mansion!"
The Emperor was startled upon hearing this and hurriedly asked, "Are you sure the signal fireworks were from the Ji Mansion?"
This shouldn’t be!
Initially shocked, the Emperor suddenly calmed down.
There’s a Grand Master stationed at the Ji Mansion!
Who would dare to recklessly run to the Ji Mansion to seek death?
Thinking like this, the Emperor suddenly realized something was wrong, his expression changed, and quickly said.
"Let’s go, leave the palace to the Ji Mansion, bring everyone along."
The dark guard was taken aback upon hearing this and quickly said, "Your Majesty, if everyone is taken, what about the Empress Dowager and other concubines..."
"Just take those around me, make haste!"
It’s the crucial moment in the decisive battle with Dongyue, and suddenly someone intrudes the Ji Mansion, what does this signify?
In two months is the imperial wedding, the future empress resides in the Ji Mansion, the signal fireworks above the Ji Mansion at this moment explain everything.
Master Duke Dugu thought as such and swiftly took the mansion guards from the Earl’s Mansion and headed to the Ji Family.
Meanwhile,
In the Duke’s Mansion.
The future empress is crucial to national destiny, the words of the National Master have spread throughout the realm, at this time, Dongyue and Beiyuan might stir trouble, let’s go to the Ji Mansion and see.
The Duke’s actions angered his wife considerably.
"You’re eagerly running to the Ji Mansion, not considering if they welcome it, if they don’t need your diligent efforts at all?
In my view, it would be best if the future empress had trouble at the Ji Mansion.
The people at the Ji Mansion are all reckless, if it were me, I wouldn’t go, if the future empress had trouble at the Ji Mansion, they’d have to bear the consequences, then I’d be satisfied."
The Duke grew furious upon hearing his wife’s words, angrily berating, "Such ignorance, you’re simply a foolish woman, long hair but short knowledge!
You may not like it, but you cannot joke about national destiny."
The Duke berated his wife and then left with his men.
This enraged the Duke’s wife considerably.
Her nanny beside her couldn’t help but sigh secretly.
This is why without Yingying and Yanyan causing trouble in this mansion, otherwise, it might exhaust the Duke’s wife to death.
Song Prime Minister Mansion
Song Prime Minister stood in his courtyard, raising his head to look at the sky outside.
A middle-aged man in scholar’s garb came over, holding a child’s hand.
The child wasn’t very old, but had good features, indeed promising to be remarkable when grown.
"Greetings, Prime Minister Song!"
Song Prime Minister turned his head to see it was Mr. Zhuang, an advisor from his mansion.
"Mr. Zhuang is here, this child seems well-born, as expected it must be the child from the Zhou Family you talked about, adept in both literature and martial arts at such a young age?"
"Exactly, this child isn’t very old, yet at such a tender age managed to protect his mother all the way to the capital, truly impressive."
Mr. Zhuang praised the child by his side very highly in front of Song Prime Minister.
"Hmm! Such daring at a young age, indeed remarkable.
Even for this Prime Minister, at eight or nine years old, I didn’t have such courage."
Song Prime Minister admired the child even more after hearing Mr. Zhuang’s words.
"Yanchen, quickly greet the Prime Minister."
Feeling delighted at the Prime Minister’s favorable view towards the child, Mr. Zhuang couldn’t be happier.
Thinking the plan was successful, he quickly asked the child to pay respects to Song Prime Minister.
"The young one, Zhou Yanchen, greets Prime Minister!"
Zhou Yanchen respectfully bowed with a student’s greeting.
"Good! Great! From now on, live in my mansion and study alongside a few other youngsters here, wouldn’t that be nice?"
