Reborn as Powerful Minister's Beloved-Chapter 734 - 659: Another Update 3
But destiny is a cruel trickster, if they were to continue waiting, it would simply be the next generation, another twenty long years.
"Now that we have summarized the situation, there are three points," Yuan Geng began as he sat down to speak, his voice devoid of any emotion. Destiny pointed towards Prince Duan, but Prince Duan had given the item to his daughter.
Gong Lin and Hui Shan glanced at Yuan Geng, having lived together for over twenty years, they could understand each other’s intentions from just one expression—they were also aware of those three points.
"The most critical issue at hand," Yuan Geng spoke, feeling equally troubled, "is that our master is pregnant with the child of Prime Minister Ju. If The Emperor were to find out, I fear it might bode ill for our master." They were born to follow destiny and break through with the token, meant to solve great issues, to save the state from peril, to save the people of the world. Yet now, everything seemed more like a melodramatic soap opera.
"You’re right, Boss," Gong Lin said in a muffled tone.
"So we must be prepared, at least to understand the purpose behind our master’s actions," to send Ju Nanyi off to the Western Border? Indeed, it had been for this reason that Ju Nanyi had decided to march out.
The situation in the Western Border was complicated, and even for them, it was certainly not assured in such a short amount of time. Hence, they did not intervene for this reason as well.
Considering their master was the Empress of Nanzheng State, they subconsciously took Nanzheng as their salvation plan.
"Boss, will you ask?" Hui Shan looked at Yuan Geng, wondering how to ask, especially as the master seemed unwilling to let others know about this.
Thus, when they had threatened Imperial Physician Feng, they were always ready to execute the physician in an instant.
"Naturally, I’ll ask," Yuan Geng said, hesitating momentarily before nodding, as it was of utmost importance now.
If the master was truly fond of Prime Minister Ju, then today, having saved Zheng Congyuan, would their master be displeased?
Yuan Geng had considered this question, but the situation had been urgent at that time, especially since Zheng Congyuan had been controlled by a mage from Nanmen State. If they couldn’t eliminate it, Zheng Congyuan was in grave danger.
Of course, he wasn’t afraid; if he could save Zheng Congyuan, he would naturally also be able to let him die.
...
"Are you truly all right?" Zheng Nian Ru still wasn’t reassured; these people’s reliability was unknown, after all, in her previous life, she had never witnessed their abilities in this aspect.
"Yes, even the surviving Master Yu has confirmed it," Zheng Congyuan spoke, naturally not just Master Yu was involved, but rather those eccentric characters who had been progressively found. Although they had not been able to remove the curse plaguing him, they still had some skills—at least they could sense that the thing entangling him had indeed vanished.
Seeing this, Zheng Nian Ru withdrew her gaze, knowing what Zheng Congyuan wanted to ask.
"On the day of the Wen Family’s rebellion, my father secretly gave me this token. Initially, I had no idea what it meant; I only knew it was very important because my father said so. Unfortunately, his mind became unclear thereafter, so only today have they appeared," Zheng Nian Ru began.
"I understand," Zheng Congyuan grasped Zheng Nian Ru’s hand, smiling faintly.
This was the first time he had smiled so freely since he had assumed his position; it seemed as though the future was also clearing up.
This mysterious force’s existence, which he had sought for a long time, revealed no clues on Prince Duan.
What Zheng Congyuan knew was limited too; once, when they were young, his father had mentioned meeting a very mysterious person who gave something to Prince Duan. This object could command a very mysterious power to heed his orders.
At that time, Emperor Jingzhi and Prince Duan were quite young and had gradually forgotten about this matter.
It wasn’t until later, when Prince Duan rebelled, that he nearly used the token, but the opportunity was postponed due to Nian Ru’s mother. However, no one knew where Prince Duan had hidden it, and because of their fear of these people, they also did not dare to act.
This matter was known only to Zheng Congyuan and Empress Dowager Yan Ping.
"What do you plan to do with them?" Zheng Congyuan could see that these people recognized only Zheng Nian Ru. He didn’t care about that himself; naturally, he was happy for Nian Ru, having these people around her at least ensured Nian Ru’s safety.
"Naturally, they will serve as my guards," Zheng Nian Ru said without hesitation, "Why not give you two as well? These people seem quite formidable—at least they look the part."
Zheng Congyuan laughed without a word, while Qi Jin looked over resentfully. The Emperor wouldn’t really...
