Chapter 1199: Serious 3

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

He was most worried about the Crown Prince Consort, while the Crown Prince was far away.

And one more thing he was worried about was that the couple had not gotten a child of their own and Destiny Monk was not yet out. If Destiny Monk came out when the Crown Prince was away and the use of the Pheonix Girl was revealed, the stupid-headed Crown Prince Consort might be made use of by someone else.

That was the most worrying thing ever.

However, Junyi did not dare to mention anything related to that.

If he did mention it, it might lead to an even worse result. So he had to arrange someone to keep an eye out for the Crown Prince Consort in case something happened.

!!

Junyi looked tired and worried, but he weighed the whole situation… then he said to Zhou Huailing, “Sorry for my narrow mind.”

Hearing what Junyi said, Zhou Huailing smiled. He was quite satisfied by how Junyi had responded.

Junyi was smart, but he was just a strategist. He had a very narrow mind and his horizon was quite small, but that was fine…

He just needed someone who could help with little tricks.

“Anyway, just pack up and get ready for Jiayu Pa.s.s tomorrow morning,” Zhou Hauiling said.

Junyi nodded.

Zhou Huaijin headed directly to Mrs. Min’s Mansion after he left the court.

Mrs. Min and the Jiang Family were old friends, so Zhou Huaijin had a good relations.h.i.+p with Mrs. Min. In the past, he used to visit her every now and then, and Mrs. Min was a very lovely woman to hang out with.

Zhou Huaijin was very happy that Chaoyan and Mrs. Min were getting on well with each other.

Privately, Zhou Huaijin hoped that Chaoyan would have a friend like Mrs. Min, who was good for her.

Zhou Huaijin walked in without any announcement when he arrived at the mansion.

Mrs. Min and Gu Chaoyan were in the middle of drinking tea.

Both of them were cold-tempered and not so talkative people, but they were harmoniously sitting together.

They exchanged a few words every now and then.

Seeing Zhou Huaijin arrive, Gu Chaoyan was a bit surprised – did they come out of the court so fast when the summon had been so urgent?

“What happened?” Gu Chaoyan asked.

Zhou Huaijin sat down and was about to say something when Mrs. Min got up. “I will fetch some books in the room.”

“It is fine, Mrs. Min, just sit down and listen to us. It is not something confidential, everyone should know about it by tomorrow,” Zhou Huaijin said.

Mrs. Min got a bit curious.

“North Qi is invading us and they are already at Jiayu Pa.s.s, where 500 people have died. They are continuing with the invasion, so it seems that they have made the plan ages ago. The world is going to become chaotic in the future, and soon the other two countries will do something as well.”

“…”

“I am just worried because the Crown Prince and General Liu have been dispatched to guard Jiayu Pa.s.s, and what would happen to the civilians when they lose Jiayu Pa.s.s.”

“…”

“The magical monsters of the North Qi should be related to the Phoenix Girl, but we don’t have any idea what more will happen! And Destiny Monk is still inside the temple, refusing to go out.” Zhou Huaijin looked distressed.

Gu Chaoyan was not very happy to hear the news.

Since the North Qi started the invasion the world was going to become chaotic. The suppression was not going to last for too long.

“Let’s go to Putuo Temple now!” Gu Chaoyan said angrily.

Zhou Huaijin took hold of Gu Chaoyan’s hands.

He was about to say something, when the housekeeper of Mrs. Min’s mansion came and said, “Mrs. Min, First Ms. Min is here!”
