The War God Uncle's Delicate Wife

Chapter 205 Reminder at the Palace Gate

Mu Jiuchen, who was in the spotlight so much, did not seem to react much on the surface, and still maintained his calm and composed appearance, but in fact, he was already as panicked as an ant on hot pan in his heart.

At the celebration banquet, the emperor gave generous rewards to many soldiers who had made great contributions to the war, and Jiang Ying was naturally among them. Such a generous gift has become a source of jealousy in the eyes of some people, and the most prominent one among them is Liu Yi from the residence of the Minister of Personnel. This person has known Jiang Ying since childhood. The Jiang brothers have always been outstanding in the circle of Kyoto and have performed outstandingly. On the other hand, although Liu Yi is of noble origin, every time he meets the Jiang brothers, he is always suppressed by them and finds it difficult to stand out. The Jiang family shined at the celebration banquet this time, which made Liu Yi indignant and extremely unhappy.

Thinking back to his childhood, he was severely punished by several Jiang brothers for just a small act of accidentally knocking Jiang Li down. So when he saw Wanyan Zhuer deliberately making things difficult for Jiang Li, he could not help but feel a little gloating. However, things did not go as he wished, and the matter ended hastily because the regent intervened.

Liu Yi raised his lips slightly, raised his finger and called the waiter beside him. He leaned over and whispered in the man's ear for a while, then waved his hand casually, signaling him to leave. Then, Liu Yi picked up the wine glass, raised his head and drank it all, while his mind began to imagine the scene that was about to happen next.

The banquet lasted until midnight, when the lights in the palace were already on. The carriages of each household were already ready, waiting for the order to drive out of the palace. However, Mu Jiuchen's gorgeous carriage was the first to slowly drive out of the palace. This carriage was a special license granted by His Majesty to enter and exit the palace freely, while the families of other ministers could only walk all the way to the palace gate before they could board their own carriages.

Master Jiang and his family were also heading towards the palace gate. They were walking on the long corridor, and the towering palace walls on both sides were like two indestructible barriers, trapping people tightly in it. Being here, everyone suddenly felt an invisible sense of oppression and crampedness. The four Jiang family members carefully protected Xie Lan and Jiang Li in the middle, fearing that they would be disturbed. At this time, a crisp sound of horse hooves came from far away. It turned out that Mu Jiuchen's carriage was chasing from behind. Seeing this, everyone in the Jiang family quickly stepped aside to make way for the noble carriage.

The carriage that Mu Jiuchen was riding in slowly approached the gate of the Jiang family. With a shout from the driver, the horse stopped steadily. Mu Jiuchen gently stretched out his hand to lift the curtain, and his cold and deep eyes were cast on the people standing in front of the gate of the Jiang family.

When Master Jiang saw this, he could not help but feel a little surprised. Why would this powerful regent suddenly stop the car in front of his house? Is there something important that he needs to tell him? With such doubts, Master Jiang asked, "Does the prince have anything else to tell you?" His voice was respectful and cautious.

Mu Jiuchen nodded politely to Master Jiang, and then turned his gaze to Jiang Ying who was standing beside him. After Jiang Ying and Mu Jiuchen looked at each other, he seemed to understand each other's meaning instantly, and he hurried forward.

At this time, Mu Jiuchen said slowly: "Be careful on your way back. I have sent secret guards to protect you in the dark." Although his tone was flat, the concern contained in it was self-evident.

Hearing this, Jiang Ying's heart warmed up, and he quickly clasped his hands, bowed deeply and said: "Thank you, Your Highness. I will be more careful and live up to Your Highness' kindness!" After saying that, he stood up and cast a grateful glance at Mu Jiuchen again.

After Mu Jiuchen finished speaking with a solemn expression, he once again nodded solemnly to Master Jiang to show his respect. Then, he slowly lowered the heavy curtain, and as the driver whipped the horse whip, the carriage quickly drove away from the palace gate like an arrow, leaving only a cloud of flying dust in the air.

Master Jiang watched the carriage go away, his eyes never leaving until it disappeared from his sight, then he turned his head. He frowned and looked at his second son Jiang Xing with worry. At this time, Jiang Xing also had a worried look on his face, his eyes first fell on his mother, and then moved to his sister.

"Father, Mother, let's go back home quickly! In my opinion, based on what the Regent said just now, I'm afraid that tonight will not be peaceful!" Jiang Xing was the first to break the silence, his tone revealing a hint of anxiety and worry.

Jiang Ying on the side nodded quickly to show his agreement and responded, "Well, brother, you are absolutely right. I am afraid that the situation is true. But I don't know which side will take action?" His handsome face was full of doubts at the moment.

"However, fortunately, the Regent has clearly informed us that he has already dispatched secret guards to lurk in the dark to protect us. I think there shouldn't be too many problems." Although Jiang Ying said this, in fact, he was still full of anxiety and uneasiness in his heart.

"Well, let's go!"
