Chapter 985: Chapter 864: Every time the niece opens her mouth, the uncles run off their legs

As soon as the purple hue appeared, she looked up at the sky and shouted loudly.

"The whole family of Prince Yu are good people, may they live well. Those who are not good, let lightning strike them immediately!"

Just as she finished speaking, Princess Lianchun and Ji Youyuan both saw that trace of purple in her eyes soaring straight into the sky.

They felt an inexplicable unease in their hearts.

This feeling was very strange, as if they sensed the fulfillment of some contract, or as if some command was being issued!

"Boom..."

Suddenly, mighty celestial thunder roared in the sky, followed by darkness as the weather changed dramatically, with celestial thunder rolling across the skies above Xijing City.

Others, like Ji Youyuan and Princess Lianchun, did not know, but Prince Yu right in front of them...

Seeing the celestial thunder striking Prince Yu, tearing his body apart, leaving him barely breathing, Princess Lianchun involuntarily took several steps back!

However, Ji Youyuan advanced, using the illusion technique to conjure heart-wrenching scenes before his eyes, and soon Prince Yu revealed the location where he hid his cultivation technique.

Not only that, but he also disclosed many secrets of Xun Heng.

The Xiling Royal Family discovered Prince Yu was dead three days later, his body charred, struck and killed by lightning.

The horrific manner of death immediately reminded Xiling investigators of the recent phenomenon of many Xiling royals being struck by lightning on the same day.

Thus, rumors spread in Xiling that the royal family lacked benevolence, and the heavens were issuing warnings that the Xiling Royal Family was doomed!

Such rumors spread overnight through every large city and small county in Xiling, enabling General Huo’s army to effortlessly reclaim cities previously taken by Xiling.

When Ji Youyuan, Suisui, and Princess Lianchun returned to Xianyu Pass, the army was hosting a grand banquet, for Grand General Xu’s forces had arrived. They received two urgent dispatches from the Capital City, one a secret edict for Grand General Xu, the other a letter from Xie Pan’Er, personally signed by Patriarch Ji.

When the letter fell into Ji Youyuan’s hands, he inexplicably felt a pang in his heart.

After opening it, he found it contained only a few simple lines.

The wife is experiencing excessive fetal movement, suspected to be due to two babies often fighting, the Imperial Physician is at a loss, and since the princess has studied under the Divine Physician, please return to the Capital City quickly!

Seeing such a letter, there’s no doubt that Ji Youyuan was worried.

He immediately bid farewell with Suisui, eager to rush back to the Capital City, while arranging for a carriage to later send Princess Lianchun back to the Capital City!

Princess Lianchun disagreed.

Having wandered outside for years, her desire to return home couldn’t wait, how could she wait passively for others to prepare a carriage to send her back?

"Princess! If we return to the Capital City at night, we’ll have to lodge in desolate places, life will be tough, I’m afraid you..."

Ji Youyuan hurriedly declined, as he and his beloved niece could return quickly alone. Adding Princess Lianchun would certainly slow down their progress!

"Over the years, I don’t know how many times I’ve slept in mass graves, how can I not endure the hardships of lodging in the wilderness?"

Princess Lianchun knew Ji Youyuan didn’t want to take her, but she indeed didn’t want to wait any longer.

So she insisted on returning to the Capital City with them. Seeing Ji Youyuan’s reluctance, she immediately turned her attention to Xiaosuisui.

"Dear niece, do you want to return to the Capital City with your aunt?

On the way, your aunt can tell you stories!"

Princess Lianchun employed tricks she used to coax the Emperor on Xiaosuisui.

Xiaosuisui’s eyes lit up involuntarily, "Yes! Yes!"

Speaking of which, she reached out to Princess Lianchun for a hug. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Princess Lianchun successfully executed her plan, jubilantly scooping up the little girl, holding her in her arms, and planting a kiss on her.

"Aunt! Get ready, we’re going to fly!"

As soon as Xiaosuisui mentioned flying, Ji Youyuan quickly grabbed her little arm.

"What flying? Later, you have to help your uncle with one more thing!"

Xiaosuisui blinked: "..."

Before Ji Youyuan departed, Ji Youze pulled him into the study for another session of deduction.

Unable to comprehend, he said to Ji Youyuan.

"Big Brother, am I lacking in my skills?

Clearly, the Emperor’s destiny and visage indicated prosperity and peace, not a struggle to dominate the world, so why has the astrology suddenly changed, affecting the fate of our Great Han?"
