The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1624

Chapter 1624: 781 Auntie Makes a Move (Second Release)_2

"How could I delay important matters for the sake of a child?"

The reason she vented her anger on the child was because it was easy to do so, like swatting away a bug that landed on her.

No need to deliberate, no need to plan.

Failure was beyond her expectation.

But no matter what, she could not let herself be consumed by anger over such a small incident. Her true enemies were Shangguan Yun and Shangguan Qing, as well as the new commander who had taken over the Han Family’s Hei Fengqi, Xiao Liulang.

"The people around Shangguan Yun still need to be dealt with cautiously," she said. "Let’s wait until he gathers useful intelligence, and then I’ll make my move."

...

The next day, Xiao Hen first sent Xiao Jingkong to Lingbo Academy, and then he went to Baoxing in Shengdu’s inner city to find a suitable courtyard through an agent.

Empress Dowager Zhuang and the old master of ceremonies finally realized that they had arrived at the National Master Hall, the most sacred and mysterious place in Dayan, the Shang Country.

Thirty years ago, both Yan Country and Zhan Country were just inferior nations. It was the wisdom of the Six Books from the National Master Hall that helped Yan Country rise rapidly. In just a few decades, it acquired the strength to rival Jin and Liang Country.

As the empress dowager of a country, Zhuang Jinse dreamed of seeing Yan Country’s Six Books.

And as a power minister of a country, the old master of ceremonies was also filled with curiosity and longing for this place that had birthed such powerful wisdom.

After getting up, both of them were stunned for a long time in their respective rooms.

Had they really arrived at the long-desired National Master Hall?

It seemed the two children indeed had some skills.

To be able to gain the qualifications to enter the National Master Hall and be treated as honored guests in just two months.

Although Xiao Hen’s royal background boosted their chances, it was still because of the skills of the two children that they were able to make it alive to the National Master Hall.

They were young, inexperienced, but at the same time, they had intelligent minds, fearless courage, and the luck that neither Empress Dowager Zhuang nor the current master of ceremonies could possess.

"Hmm, not too bad."

Empress Dowager Zhuang muttered.

Gu Jiao didn’t understand why her aunt said this, and Empress Dowager Zhuang didn’t intend to explain, lest the little girl gets too proud.

She asked, "What is Zhao Feng’er doing?"

Gu Jiao replied, "Little Lizi is cleaning the corridor with three others. I paid special attention this morning. He hasn’t made any moves, didn’t try to gather information, nor attempt to approach Shangguan Yun."
