The War God Uncle's Delicate Wife

The night in the capital always carries with it a mysterious and tranquil atmosphere.

Jiang Li had been worried for the past two days, but she didn't dare to let people around her know about her uneasiness, and she didn't dare to tell her parents about her elder brother and cousin. She could only put her hope on the regent, but after waiting for a whole day, she still didn't receive any news. As night fell, she couldn't help but look forward to the regent's arrival, just to learn about her elder brother's situation.

As a secret guard, Shi Liu was keenly aware of the young lady's abnormality. She asked with concern: "Young lady, are you worried about something?" Jiang Li shook his head quickly and replied calmly: "Nothing, go and do your own thing."

However, Shi Liu did not believe her easily. She knew the young lady's character very well and knew that she must be hiding something. So, she said firmly: "Young lady, if you really encounter difficulties, please tell Shi Liu. Since Shi Liu was sent by the prince to protect you, he will do his best to help you solve the problem."

Jiang Li was touched by Shi Liu's sincerity and determination. But she still hesitated for a moment, thinking that it would be better not to let them know about the Regent's visit that night. In the end, she just smiled and said to Shi Liu, "Thank you for your concern. I'm really fine. Maybe I'm just a little tired recently. I just need to rest for a while."

Shi Liu looked at Jiang Li, a trace of worry flashed in her eyes. She knew that the young lady didn't want others to worry about her.

Forget it, let's inform the prince! Although the prince had told her that she would be the young lady's from now on and didn't need to report everything to him, the young lady had been losing her appetite recently, which was really worrying.

Then, Shi Liu made a gesture, summoned the person hiding in the dark, and handed over a piece of paper. Just half a quarter of an hour later, the message was passed to Mu Jiuchen. There were only four words on the paper: "Miss is busy", but these four words were like a thunder, making Mu Jiuchen stand up instantly. Changfeng once again witnessed the prince leaving like a gust of wind. Since he was punished last time, he already knew the reason. Today, it was obvious that the prince was rushing to the Taifu Mansion again. Anyway, with the prince's strength, few people in the entire Shang Dynasty could compete with him, so he simply did not keep up. After all, the prince's skills and abilities were there, and there was no need for others to worry or protect him.

But in just a cup of tea, Mu Jiuchen actually came to Jiang Li's courtyard again. Shi Liu had never expected that her prince would come so quickly. As soon as she stepped out of Jiang Li's boudoir, she saw the prince standing quietly in the courtyard. Just as she was about to greet the prince, a sharp gust of wind suddenly hit her. She felt a black screen in front of her eyes, and then she lost consciousness. At the moment before she fell unconscious, Shi Liu thought to herself: "Oh no! The prince is pressing my acupoints again, and this time he actually pressed the sleep acupoint directly."

Mu Jiuchen strode into Jiang Li's boudoir and saw Jiang Li sitting in front of the dressing table with a worried look on her face. He knew that it must be because he had told her about Jiang Xing a few days ago that she was so worried. It was all his fault that he had been so busy these past two days that he had forgotten about this matter. He stood at the door and knocked gently.

Jiang Li heard the sound and turned his head. When his eyes met Mu Jiuchen, a bright smile immediately broke out on his face and he quickly stood up to greet him.

"Your Majesty, you are finally here!"

Mu Jiuchen was immediately happy when he heard this. Although he knew that she might be expecting the news he brought rather than his visit, this did not affect his happy mood at all. "Yeah." Mu Jiuchen's response was brief and powerful, and his tone revealed an unconcealable ease.

"Your Highness, please take a seat!" Jiang Li said, pointing to the round table in the room, signaling Mu Jiuchen to take a seat. After Mu Jiuchen slowly sat down, Jiang Li quickly stood up, hurriedly picked up the teapot, poured out a cup of steaming hot tea, carefully handed it to Mu Jiuchen, and stared at him expectantly.

The fiery and straightforward gaze made Mu Jiuchen's cheeks slightly hot and his heartbeat slightly accelerated. He felt a little embarrassed, but still tried to remain calm, gently picked up the teacup, and tried to cover up his inner panic by drinking tea.

"Miss Jiang, please sit down too. Don't be shy and listen to me slowly." Mu Jiuchen tried to make his voice sound more stable, and put down the cup in his hand, trying to relax his tense nerves. However, his hands holding the teacup still couldn't completely relax, and they trembled slightly, revealing his inner tension.

"Yes, Your Highness, please speak quickly." Upon hearing this, Jiang Li immediately put down the teapot in his hand and sat down hurriedly, his eyes full of anticipation and nervousness.

"You don't have to worry too much, they are safe now." Mu Jiuchen's voice was steady and firm, as if giving Jiang Li a reassurance. Then he continued: "Your elder brother and cousin have arrived at the post station and are temporarily out of danger. As for the specific situation, please allow me to slowly explain it."

Mu Jiuchen told Jiang Li all the news he knew, but he didn't mention anything about the Black Wind Village. After all, this involved court secrets, and it was not appropriate for too many people to know. When Jiang Li heard that her brothers were safe and sound, the stone hanging in her heart finally fell to the ground, and her eyes became moist. She was full of gratitude and excitedly thanked Mu Jiuchen.

Afterwards, the two chatted for a while, talking about some trivial matters in life and recent experiences. However, time passed quietly, and Mu Jiuchen had to say goodbye to Jiang Li. Because he knew that the situation in the northern border was urgent and could not be delayed any longer.
