Chapter 1302 - 980: Zhou Yanchen Enters the Capital, Doctor’s Wife Faces Difficult Labor_4
Mr. Zhuang opened his mouth in response. Is the Chancellor nurturing a successor?
But isn’t there still Ji Youze behind the Chancellor?
Mr. Zhuang thought in shock, then looked at the young Zhou Yanchen, and realized that it wasn’t necessarily a conflict.
In the future, with the left and right Chancellors, perhaps Ji Youze and Zhou Yanchen could complement each other!
"Yes! I will certainly work hard, thank you, Master, for your guidance!"
Chancellor Song was very pleased and reached out to pat Zhou Yanchen’s head, smiling lightly.
"Go back for now! Tomorrow I will take you and your mother to the Ji Mansion."
"Ah!"
Zhou Yanchen opened his mouth wide.
Mr. Zhuang was also extremely surprised.
"You are taking them personally?"
Chancellor Song nodded.
"I was thinking of an alliance through marriage with the Ji Family, but then that kid Ji Youze suddenly got married, which made me very angry.
Luckily, there’s this kid. It’s a pity Ji Youze isn’t in the Capital City, otherwise, I’d bring this kid tomorrow to anger him!"
Mr. Zhuang: "..."
Zhou Yanchen was sent back by Mr. Zhuang, but the way back was not peaceful. The Duke of Zhen and Master Duke Dugu were patrolling the streets with their mansion’s soldiers.
Mr. Zhuang found it very strange, so he inquired from an acquaintance and learned that today Eastern Yue assassins had paid a visit to the Ji Mansion.
"Those Eastern Yue assassins are really foolish, daring to come openly without even finding out who the Ji Family is.
As a result, they ran into the Ji Family’s Madam who was in labor, and their intrusion scared her nearly into a difficult birth.
The eldest son was furious, and the Grand Master, who usually avoids bloodshed, personally took action and eliminated four of them.
One escaped, only to run into Chang Rongshun and the Princess returning from outside.
Although small, Chang Rongshun and the Princess’s martial arts are very strong, they grabbed that person and slammed him against the wall, knocking him out in an instant. If Princess Lianchun hadn’t arrived to say these people might have accomplices needing inquiry, Chang Rongshun and the Princess would have directly smashed his brains out!"
Mr. Zhuang, holding Zhou Yanchen with one hand and stroking his newly grown beard with the other, couldn’t help but sigh, "I had no idea the Ji Family was hiding such talents!"
"Indeed! This matter even alarmed His Majesty, as the future Empress resides in the Ji Mansion. It’s said the Empress also suffered some injuries, angering His Majesty, who ordered us to patrol overnight, determined to find a way to capture all these Eastern Yue infiltrators!"
Mr. Zhuang’s friend, a lover of good wine, would have a drink with Mr. Zhuang whenever free, so he confided everything to him.
"I see, those Eastern Yue spies are truly abhorrent. The future Empress is vital to our Great Han’s destiny, and they dared to be so despicable, trying to kill her. Their intentions are truly punishable!"
"Their intentions are indeed punishable; His Majesty is furious and commanded us to swiftly capture these people. Brother, I can’t chat with you anymore!
If other brothers come and know I told you this, it wouldn’t be good.
Be careful yourself, hurry home if there’s nothing else, don’t let others mistake you for a spy and capture you."
Mr. Zhuang dared not linger on the streets for long, so he hurriedly took Zhou Yanchen home.
Back to the Ji Mansion.
Due to the intrusion of Eastern Yue assassins, Wang Dongxue was frightened and fell into a difficult labor.
At this time, Ji Youran disregarded the gender taboos and went in directly to take Wang Dongxue’s pulse.
He used an elixir and acupuncture.
The midwife anxiously said, "It’s not good, Madam exerted too early when she was frightened just now, and her cervix hasn’t fully opened, the child’s large head is stuck.
If we don’t find a way for Madam to exert a great force to give birth, I’m afraid..."
