You died to save me, I promise you a lifetime

Chapter 85: Brain Trust Meets Military Advisor

Wang Songlin's face darkened.

"Looking at Guard Li's expression, is what the people are saying true?"

Chief Steward Qu gritted his teeth and said, "Of course it's true! He sent over two hundred Dragon Shadow Guards to massacre our palace. He also said that our prince was suffering from living like this and asked us to help him escape as soon as possible."

"That's unreasonable!"

The emperor actually disregarded his dignity and did such a thing. Wang Songlin was so angry that he was shaking all over.

"My Lord, are you and the brothers in the palace okay?"

Li Mingzhao said directly: "Master Wang, you want to ask about the casualties in the palace, right?

To be honest, when the Dragon Shadow Guards arrived, the brothers in the palace did have the idea of ​​fighting to the death, but after a short while, they heard a few sharp whistles and the Dragon Shadow Guards quickly withdrew."

Wang Songlin frowned. "Whistle? Does Guard Li know who caused it? Could it be that the Emperor has changed his mind?"

"He's eager to wipe out the royal family without a single survivor, so why would he withdraw his troops in the middle of a battle? It must have been someone else's doing.

As for who it is, that is your good emperor’s business.”

Wang Songlin gritted his teeth and bowed to Zhao Jingchen on the bed, saying, "Your Highness, please take care of yourself. As long as there is green mountain, there will be no shortage of firewood. I believe that one day, the clouds will part and the sun will rise."

"Well, go back. Don't contradict him. The Royal Aunt will be back soon. There will be room for reason."

Wang Songlin was so excited when he heard this that he bowed and said, "You must hold on, everything will be fine!"

Watching Wang Songlin walk away, Li Mingzhao wondered, "Why didn't the prince let him question the dog emperor and tell him the news that the princess had returned to the capital?"

Zhao Jingchen got up from the bed and took another antidote.

"He is an old minister left by my father. He is also very loyal. There are not many people like him in the court today. I don't want him to be punished for contradicting him.

Go tell the concierge to close the door and refuse all visitors, saying that the king is unwell."

Li Mingzhao agreed and went down.

Mu Yunge brought An Bei out from the inner room.

"Zixuan, the people are spreading the news by word of mouth. Soon everyone in the capital will know about that person's evil deeds. What do you think he will do?"

Zhao Jingchen curled the corners of his mouth with a sarcastic look on his face.

"In his current situation, he has no time to care about what the people say. He can only pretend to know nothing and rack his brains to find a way to deal with the Royal Aunt."

"Will this affect other people's plans?"

"According to the Third Brother's character, in this situation, he will only be more determined to implement his plan and put the blame on that person.

After the eldest and second sons were eliminated, he considered himself the only suitable heir to the throne, and felt that the imperial aunt could do nothing about him and could only watch him ascend the throne and become emperor.

Mu Yunge thought thoughtfully, "Today is the 26th, it should be soon."

"Well, our people are closely monitoring his every move and will report any progress in a timely manner."

"Then let's resume training tomorrow. The final moment is approaching. The most important thing is that several neighboring countries are watching covetously. Sisters must quickly improve their martial arts."

"Okay, eat and drink today, and resume normal training tomorrow."

"Then I'll take Anbei back to the room to sort it out."

Mu Yunge brought An Bei back to the bedroom, and the three maids, Dongnan, Xi and Xi, all looked at An Bei excitedly.

The sisters hugged each other, jumped and danced, and were happy for a long time.

After calming down, An Bei looked at Mu Yunge and said, "Miss, do you think my mother is the eldest princess's daughter?"

"Don't be nervous, just treat it calmly. Whether it's true or not, we should be able to confirm it when the princess returns."

Anton and the other two also tried to comfort him, "Even if it's not the case, we won't lose anything."

An Bei nodded vigorously, "I don't care whether they are the eldest princess, her husband, or peddlers, as long as they can be confirmed to be my relatives, I will have fulfilled my mother's last wish, and my mother will rest in peace if she knows about it.

As for me, as long as my loved ones are well, I have nothing else to ask for.

I will continue to do what I should do in the future. I am the young lady's maid. I belong to the women's team and a member of the Mu family army, both physically and mentally. I will always be one."

Mu Yunge patted her back and said with a smile, "Silly girl! If the eldest princess is really your grandmother, you should be filial to her. Why are you still following me?

Let’s not talk about this for now. Go and clean up. Look at your little face, it’s become like a little cat.”

"Miss, you are making fun of me!" An Bei stomped her feet and went to wash her face.

"You guys go have fun and let Anbei be alone." Mu Yunge sent Anton and the others away.

An Bei came back after washing his face. "Miss, we've been staying at the palace for two days. Why haven't we seen the prince's military advisor Shang? Is he no longer with the prince?"

"Yes, the prince once mentioned him. You want to see him? That's not difficult. Come on, I'll take you to find the prince."

This little girl has always admired the legendary figure Shang Junshi. Now she lives in Prince Zhan's Mansion. If she can't see him, she will probably feel lost for a long time.

The master and servant returned to Zhao Jingchen's yard hand in hand, and saw him playing chess with a man in the flower hall from a distance.

The man was about the same age as Zhao Jingchen, wearing a feather fan and a silk scarf, and was gentle and elegant.

Seeing the master and servant approach, Zhao Jingchen pointed at the man and introduced him, "His name is Shang Jue, and he used to be my military advisor. Shang Jue, these are Miss Mu and An Bei."

Shang Jue put down the chess piece, stood up and saluted Mu Yunge and his servant.

"My name is Shang Jue, nice to meet Miss Mu and Miss Anbei! I've long heard that Miss Mu and your sisters are as capable as any man, and seeing them today, I can see that they are truly heroic and outstanding women."

Mu Yunge knelt down and saluted: "Thank you for the compliment! I've heard of Advisor Shang for a long time. It's a pleasure to meet you!"

Is he the military advisor Shang, the legendary military advisor who is full of knowledge and can win battles thousands of miles away with just a few words?

An Bei felt his heartbeat suddenly speed up and his cheeks flushed.

Mu Yunge caught a glimpse of An Bei's condition from the corner of his eye and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

This little girl can't walk when she meets someone she admires.

Afraid that she would lose her composure, he hurriedly and quietly tugged at her sleeve, and An Bei came back to her senses instantly.

"An Bei meets Advisor Shang!"

Zhao Jingchen greeted them, "Alright, we're all family, don't be so distant, sit down, everyone!"

After everyone sat down, the servants served them tea.

Shang Jue was playing chess while sizing up the master and servant. "I heard that Miss Anbei, known for her talent, is the brains behind Miss Mu's women's team?"

Mu Yunge nodded proudly.

"Well, Anbei has been weak since she was young, but she's the smartest one among us. During our time at the border, she provided the army with strategies and helped us win many victories."

Shang Jue gave An Bei a thumbs up and said, "Miss An Bei is so brave and courageous at such a young age. It's remarkable. I admire you!"

Mu Yunge smiled, "Anbei has regarded Shang Junshi as her role model since she was young. Now that she has seen him in person, she is so excited that she is a little dumb and can hardly speak."

Shang Jue knocked on the table with his fan, "Wait a moment, Shang Mou and Miss An Bei will discuss this."

An Bei's face flushed red, "Please teach me, Advisor Shang!"

Shang Jue closed his fan and said, "Hey, what do you mean by teaching me? This is too polite. It's just a discussion at best!"

With two beauties watching the game, Zhao Jingchen and Shang Jue could no longer play chess and simply ended the game hastily.

Shang Jue invited, "Miss Anbei, how about we go for a walk in the garden and talk about what happened on the battlefield?"
