The military officials: "..."
We don't understand academic matters, but the Ninth Prince's henpecked behavior is truly unbearable to watch.
Ji Fengming looked around, then asked with a mixture of curiosity and dissatisfaction, "Hey, why aren't the Duke of Chen and his two sons here to greet us? Could it be that they're upset about their defeat and feel ashamed that my brother-in-law won? Are they holding a grudge?"
"Does Prince Anping really not know?" The Empress gripped her handkerchief so tightly that her fingertips dug into her palm, her eyes practically spitting fire.
"What should I know?" Ji Fengming looked back at the Empress with an open and calm gaze.
Ji Chenhai and Ji Fengyao also had the same questioning and curious expression;
At first glance, the father and daughter looked innocent, waiting to watch the drama unfold. But to the Empress and others, this appearance was a clear sign of "I love seeing you so angry, yet you can't do anything about it," an incredibly arrogant demeanor.
The empress clutched her handkerchief, her jaw clenched, trembling with rage.
Shang Xiche felt that if they continued talking, the Empress would probably explode at the city gate.
He quickly sent someone to bring the Ninth Prince to the palace to report on his duties and attend the victory celebration banquet.
Just before departure.
Wang An pushed through the crowd and ran over.
He first shamelessly called Ji Chenhai "godfather," then asked Ji Fengyao and Ji Fengming with a sly grin, "Sister, Brother Fengming, do you really not know what happened at the Duke of Chen's mansion?"
Ji Fengyao and Ji Fengming said in unison, "We don't know!"
"The Chen family is almost wiped out. Now, the only one left intact is Chen Ziying. Chen Xiaoyi and Chen Shiyu died mysteriously, and the old Duke Chen is barely hanging on by a thread. Who knows when he will die?" Wang An whispered mysteriously.
Ji Fengyao and Ji Fengming exclaimed in unison, quite surprised, "Oh, is that so? Then the security situation in the capital is indeed worrying!"
Not far away were leaders from several factions who had participated in the "god-killing" operation.
For example, the emperor, empress, crown prince, second prince, and others: "..."
I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen anyone this shameless!
Their people were clearly working together with this gang of bandits and the Ninth Prince to deal with the Chen family!
With Kyoto's security situation so worrying, are they trying to turn their backs and shift the blame to the city's garrison?
Gao Chengwei: "..."
This is not a problem for the Gao family; it has absolutely nothing to do with the Gao family!
The Imperial Guards led the way, with the Emperor's carriage at the head.
The Ninth Prince's carriage, along with Ji Chenhai, Ji Fengming, and Hei Xiao, followed closely behind. Wang An also asked a guard from the Ninth Prince's residence for a horse and shamelessly followed Ji Fengming and Hei Xiao.
No matter how much Wang Bingyao glared and blustered, Wang An pretended not to see it and swaggered through the streets with the Ninth Prince's entourage, looking quite pleased with himself.
"That little brat is infuriating!" Wang Bingyao clutched his chest, panting heavily, his head throbbing with anger.
"Alright, Father, since Xiao An is genuinely on good terms with the Ninth Prince and the others, let him be," Wang Jin advised.
Wang Bingyao straightened his neck and said in a low, annoyed voice, "That's not making friends, that's risking his life!"
However, these things were not suitable to say outside, and since Wang An had already gone far away with the Ninth Prince's entourage, Wang Bingyao had no choice but to give up.
Knowing that Ji Fengyao loved excitement, Shang Xiye raised up the partitions and walls around the carriage.
Without the mask covering him, he revealed his true appearance.
In the carriage, he and Ji Fengyao, a handsome man and a beautiful woman, walked side by side, hand in hand, like a perfect couple made in heaven.
Especially the young women and girls in love, after five years, when they saw Shang Xiye's even more ethereal beauty again, they were immediately amazed and their hearts were stirred, unable to extricate themselves.
