The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1691

Chapter 1691: 824 Expedition! (Second Update)

The two were talking when Shangguan Yun emerged from the Sleeping Palace.

Shangguan Yun’s eyebrows were tightly knitted, her thin lips pressed together.

Xiao Hen threw away the branch in his hand and, pulling Gu Jiao to stand up, asked Shangguan Yun, "What did the monarch say?"

Shangguan Yun frowned and said, "He told us to escape quickly."

If he hadn’t said so, she would have already taken the children and fled.

But when he truly told her to flee, she no longer wished to.

Indeed, the human heart is the strangest thing in the world.

"There’s no escaping," Xiao Hen said.

With the ambitions of Jin and Liang, not a single member of the Dayan royal family or Xuanyuan’s descendants can hope to escape. Once Dayan’s territories are trampled, there is only one outcome waiting for them.

Shangguan Yun nodded, "You should return to the Duke Residence first, I’ll gather the ministers to discuss court affairs."

The monarch had a stroke, and the border pass was in chaos; indeed, misfortunes never come singly.

But no matter what, there is no retreat for them.

Gu Jiao and Xiao Hen took a carriage back to the Duke Residence of Anguo.

The news from the Court had already spread throughout the entire Residence. Manager Zheng cursed the Han Family and the Nangong Family, and then ranted about the various countries with ill intentions. Of course, he also didn’t forget to scold the monarch who acted on his own.

The room was full of people gathered in the Grand Hall.

The old wine master whispered to Empress Dowager Zhuang, "Why did our Emperor join this commotion? Isn’t he a benevolent ruler? From what I know of him, others would rarely provoke him, let alone him starting a war. He’s not that bold."

The one being fought isn’t a minor country like Chen, it’s Yan Country, the strongest power among the three nations.

Empress Dowager Zhuang snorted coldly, "It’s obvious this wasn’t his idea; he must have been instigated by someone."

The old wine master pondered, "Who instigated him?"

Empress Dowager Zhuang said flatly, "If it’s not Xuanping Marquis, it’s Tang Yueshan." Tang Yueshan is more likely, he’s quite warlike.

The old wine master said in distress, "Ahen is the eldest grandson of the Dayan royal family, and Jiaojiao is the adopted son of the Duke Residence. If a fight really breaks out... it’s quite awkward."

Empress Dowager Zhuang glared at him, as if to say this is hardly a matter of being awkward.

The old wine master coughed lightly, "So, um, what do you plan to do?"

What was she planning?

If she really had to plan, she would love to immediately take the children back to Zhan Country, far away from the disputes of Yan Country.

But that was impossible.
