Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In Qiongzhi Courtyard, An Jiuyue carried two children who had been brought back from Ding Nuo Academy.
“We missed you so much! We missed you so much that we almost couldn’t eat.” Qian Yirong wrapped his arms around his mother’s neck affectionately.
“Is that so?” An Jiuyue smiled and looked at the two boys in her arms.
“How come, Rong’er, I feel like you’ve gained some weight? If you were unable to eat, would you have gained weight?”
“Uh.” Qian Yirong was stunned by his mother’s words, and his face flushed red in embarrassment.
“Well… Well, my weight probably gained on its own. It has nothing to do with me.”
“Pfft! Haha!” Qian Yizheng, who was sitting opposite him, laughed impolitely, almost teasing his brother.
His weight gained on its own? When did his younger brother become so funny? He never noticed!
“Brother, you’re not allowed to laugh. You’re not allowed to laugh.”
Qian Yirong became even more embarrassed after Qian Yizheng laughed. His face flushed red, and he almost smacked Qian Yizheng.
If he could mute him, that would be good.
“A1ngnt, alngnt. 1 won’t laugn.’
Qian Yizheng covered his mouth obediently with his small hand to show that he was not laughing anymore.
The voices of An Jiuyue and the two children conversing in the house could still be heard in the courtyard.
Qian Jiyun stood coldly in the courtyard, listening to Yan Shen’s report from the palace.
“He’s really grown more ambitious.”
He raised his hand and gently brushed the snowflakes off his clothes, chuckling.
Previously, the old Emperor considered capturing An Jiuyue to threaten him. However, he never mentioned it again after Prince Sui was poisoned.
How many hours had it been since their return?
The old Emperor openly discussed with his ministers how to deal with him. He was really getting worse with age.
Yan Shen looked at his master and said, “Master, during the few months you and Mistress were away, many shadow guards approached Miss Yiyun and wanted to take her away. However, they were all killed in the end.”
The old Emperor probably realized that capturing Qian Yiyun would not work, so he targeted An Jiuyue.
But he had no idea that An Jiuyue was the one who stationed those people around Qian Yiyun. They could not even get close to Qian Yiyun, so how could they hurt An Jiuyue?
“Hmph!” Qian Jiyun sneered.
He expected this. As long as he had control over the southern border, the old Emperor would be wary of him. How could he not be if he was still alive?
“Yan Shen, don’t you think it’s time to recall everyone from the southern border?”
“Huh?” Yan Shen was stunned.
Recall everyone from the southern border? That was a large force! Were they bringing everyone back?
“Master, do you mean you’re giving up the southern border?” he asked carefully.
‘Mhm.” Qian Jiyun looked up at the falling snowflakes. The dark sky cleared his mind.
“Doesn’t he want to subdue the 18 Stockaded Villages and let them guard the southern border? Since that’s what he wants, let him.”
“But the southern border…
Yan Shen wondered if there was something wrong with his master’s brain.. How could he have such a terrifying thought?
