Madam Zhou offered a perfectly measured expression of gratitude and emotion: "Then I thank Your Majesty for your kindness."
From Madam Zhou's suddenly cold eyes, one could see that Eunuch Ma gave his 'critically ill' second sister a final, mocking glance before striding away.
They said they would send a royal physician to take care of the second young lady's daily life!
In reality, it was a disguised way of monitoring all of the Zhou family's actions from within the mansion!
Using this excuse, Emperor Yan could easily find out the Zhou family's every move. After all, they lived in the General's Mansion, which made it much easier to find out their activities than to have secret guards watching from afar!
When Zhou Cheng returned to his residence, he had already learned that Emperor Yan had granted the imperial physician residence in the general's mansion.
He held half a piece of warm, lustrous white jade in his hand.
These two jade pendants are yin-yang jade pieces, one side carved with a swan and the other with a mandarin duck. He and Cheng Xianyi each had half of one piece as a token of their love.
Zhou Cheng gently stroked the jade-like face with his thumb, his voice revealing coldness: "It seems that this Yan Emperor will not give up until he reaches the Yellow River. The Zhou family supported his lofty ambitions, but he turned around and wiped out his entire family."
"Since he wants to send imperial physicians to monitor the Zhou family, let him send them. Anyway, we won't be staying in the capital for long."
"mother."
"Starting tomorrow, select a few trustworthy men to practice with bows and crossbows and archery. Although the aiming accuracy will differ from my weapon, both have similarities. They will become proficient after a few tries."
Madam Zhou nodded solemnly, then said with relief, "Good, Mother understands."
"But... the Zhou family's entire household is filled with royal spies. Cheng'er, if we practice archery openly, won't that arouse Emperor Yan's suspicion?"
Zhou Cheng currently has over 600,000 points, and this is a crucial moment.
Once Emperor Yan senses something is amiss and realizes that the Zhou family possesses a trump card capable of turning the tide, he will likely be filled with murderous intent and will no longer bother with the pretense of maintaining appearances...
The fact that Emperor Yan is now willing to play along with the Zhou family and even allows General Zhou to go to the border is simply because he is certain that the Zhou family cannot cause any trouble.
First of all, General Zhou was not destined to live to reach the border.
Secondly, once we reach the border, he won't be the only one making the decisions!
In the end, with his biological son Zhou Cheng detained in the capital, what use is it for General Zhou to regain control of the army, even if he has the confidence?
Would he dare to make a move?
Dare to rebel?
If they rebel, Emperor Yan will immediately take Zhou Cheng and the Zhou family hostage!
"mother."
Zhou Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly, a dark light flashing in his eyes, as if he was determined to kill: "Emperor Yan is very confident in his plan now. He has been scheming for so long, and he has even planned to recall Father to the capital and dismantle the power at the border."
"Now... he probably thinks I'm just a good-for-nothing who only knows how to fawn over women!"
"His focus should be entirely on his father. As for me? Us? Ha, we're nothing but trouble!"
really!
Not only Emperor Yan, but everyone in the entire capital thought Zhou Cheng was a fool, a piece of trash who only deserved to die under a woman's body. He was obsessed with how to win over Lin Jiaoyun and couldn't possibly support the huge Zhou family.
Once we deal with General Zhou, this troublesome figure, everyone else is insignificant.
Can........
Who would have thought?
Who would believe it?
Zhou Cheng's unwavering devotion to Lin Jiaoyun was all for the sake of a 100,000-square-meter space and an armory! Emperor Yan had been plotting for years, and Zhou Cheng had also been trying his best to salvage the situation!
If Zhou Cheng is given a little more time, everything will turn around.
"Miss Lin!"
