Chapter 977: Chapter 859: You Actually Woke Up_2

The bitter emperor injured in Capital City struggling to review memorials: My daughter understands me!

Ji Youyuan: "..." You indeed understand your imperial foster father!

"I often hear my imperial foster father say he plans to send 300,000 troops to fight this or that. I think the ambition to unify the world surely belongs to him!"

As soon as these words were spoken, suddenly a dry rumble of thunder came from the sky.

The little girl stood up from the ground and looked up at the sky, "Is it going to rain? Oh, please don’t rain! There’s nowhere nearby to shelter from the rain!"

Ji Youyuan sighed silently; this little girl, if you say she understands nothing!

Yet nothing can elude her, if you say she understands everything, look now, the Celestial Dao warns yet she worries about rain!

He stepped forward and patted her small head, ending the topic.

The emperor reviewing memorials heard the thunder outside suddenly and instinctively shivered, his heart inexplicably fretful.

He felt he might be somewhat lazy and neglectful of governance.

The National Master stood in front of his silent chamber, frowned, looked up at the sky, quickly calculating with his fingers, suddenly glanced toward the Imperial Palace, turned back, continued his calculations, sensing that everything was amiss!

The emperor heard that the National Master requested an audience, stretched lazily before allowing someone to enter.

The National Master entered, saluted, then stared at the emperor’s face, his large eyes not blinking.

The emperor was perplexed by the National Master’s actions and asked, "Why do you gaze at me so, National Master?"

The National Master did not respond for a long time.

The emperor gazed at him, puzzled, ran his hand over his face, and asked the eunuch beside him, "Is there something on my face?"

The eunuch shook his head, "Nothing, Your Majesty!"

The emperor was even more confused now, "Nothing, then why does the National Master stare at me as such?"

The eunuch also shrugged, indicating he did not know.

The emperor called to the National Master twice more, yet he still did not respond.

Helplessly, the emperor waved his hand before the National Master’s face, finally bringing him back to reality.

"Your Majesty! I observed the stars last night; soon, Great Han will have a great cause for celebration, Your Majesty is bound to fulfill your aspirations, leaving a legacy for ages!"

The emperor blinked in response, puzzled, "National Master, did you come here just to tell me this?"

Such flattery, how many people on the Imperial Court indulge in this daily?

His ears have grown calloused from hearing it.

Thus the emperor paid the National Master’s words no heed!

"No! I came to examine Your Majesty’s physiognomy!"

The National Master finished speaking, quickly saluted the emperor, and took his leave.

"Just... left like that?

What’s the National Master up to?"

The emperor looked at the little eunuch beside him.

The little eunuch quickly shook his head, indicating he did not understand either.

"This isn’t right!

What did the National Master say just now?

He observed the stars at night?

Have there been stars visible these past nights?"

The little eunuch tilted his head, thought for a moment, and scratched his head, "I don’t think so!"

"No stars, what stars was the National Master observing?"

"I don’t know!"

"By the way, has the Imperial Decree summoning Ji Youzhi back to court been sent out?"

"When the Empress Dowager mentioned it a few days ago, it was sent out with an eight-hundred-mile rush delivery; Ji the Divine Hunter will recieve it in a few days."

The emperor nodded, continued reviewing memorials, and asked, "How is the health of the Ji Family’s mistress? Is there any improvement?"

Speaking of this issue, the eunuch was unable to answer.

"Speak honestly!"

"Imperial Physician Lin said the umbilical cord is wrapped around the baby’s neck; no medicine can be used, the baby cannot understand words. Now it is just praying to heaven for the two children to stay still in the womb."

The emperor rubbed his forehead, "What about the Ji Family’s second son? He is the Divine Physician, doesn’t he have a solution?"

The eunuch quickly reported: "Ji the Divine Physician checks the mistress’ pulse three times a day and has reestablished a diet for her, outlining her habits of rest.

He also instructs the maidservants to learn to palpate her belly. If it is determined the twins are fighting, he will instruct the mistress to calm them by touching her belly. It is said there was some effect today."

The emperor sighed upon hearing, softly said, "I hope this term with the Ji mistress can be safely delivered. The Ji Family’s new generation, the eldest legitimate grandson, must not encounter mishaps!"

The most crucial point is, Ji Youyuan is currently holding guard at the frontier for Great Han!

A Grandmaster is of utmost importance to a nation.

Far from the Nine-Tiered Pagoda, Ji Youyuan unconsciously touched his chest, inexplicably uncomfortable what’s going on?

He felt an urge to return to the Capital City immediately!

"Uncle, what’s the matter?

You’ve touched your chest so many times today."

Ji Youyuan looked at her, then at the Soul-Calling Bell put down beside him, "When will Ah Ling and the others return?"

Xiaosuisui blinked, "Should be soon, today is the third day."

As soon as the words fell, Princess Lianchun lying beside them groaned as she woke.

Xiaosuisui and Ji Youyuan quickly approached, looking at Princess Lianchun rubbing her temples, hurriedly asked, "How are you? Have your memories returned?"

Princess Lianchun opened her eyes, scanned the surroundings, finally fixed her gaze on the Nine-Tiered Pagoda, her eyes filled with fury, a torrent of hatred surged forth.,

"Xun Heng! I will make you perish in pieces!"

As Princess Lianchun’s voice fell, she rose, drew a dagger from her boot, full of killing intent, headed towards the inside of the Nine-Tiered Pagoda!

Ji Youyuan and Xiaosuisui glanced at each other, turned their heads, and quickly followed Princess Lianchun’s steps.

"Xun Heng! You bastard, I will kill you, you dared to control me, made me your puppet for so many years!"

Princess Lianchun rushed to the base of the Nine-Tiered Pagoda, approached the long tunnel, walked to the end, a dark entrance appeared in front, that entrance had a terrifying vortex, within the vortex, a face appeared, that face was full of malevolence, eyes crimson.

"You’ve awakened!"
