The War God Uncle's Delicate Wife

Chapter 204 Is it intentional or coincidence?

At the moment when Mu Jiuchen opened his mouth, the originally noisy and noisy hall suddenly became silent as if it was cast by magic. Everyone present, whether they were powerful princes and nobles or lowly servants and maids, all silently turned their eyes to the man standing in the hall - Mu Jiuchen.

The youngest regent of the Shang Dynasty, and also the most eye-catching young god of war, stood quietly. He was as tall and straight as a pine tree, with a handsome face but a hint of coldness, and his deep eyes sparkled like cold stars. He was wearing a gorgeous brocade robe, which made him look extraordinary and majestic.

Thinking back to five years ago, when the court decided to appoint him as the regent, there was an uproar in the court. Many ministers expressed strong opposition, and they were full of doubts and worries. After all, the emperor was in his prime, energetic and good at governing the country, so why appoint such a young regent? Many ministers even secretly wondered: Does this mean that there will be a risk of him becoming too powerful in the future?

However, time flies, and five years have passed in the blink of an eye. During these five years, Mu Jiuchen fought in many battles and made great achievements. The army he led was unstoppable and returned victoriously time and time again, making great contributions to the expansion of territory and consolidation of border defense for the Shang Dynasty. Because of this, some ministers in the court always proposed to establish a crown prince as soon as possible to reassure the people and stabilize the court. But in the face of these suggestions, Mu Jiurui, as the emperor, remained unmoved and rejected them every time without hesitation.

"You, you, you..." Wanyan Zhu'er's eyes widened, her face flushed red, and her lips trembled as she wanted to say something again. But before she could say anything, Wanyan Yi flashed and swung his right hand like lightning, and a sharp hand knife slashed at Wanyan Zhu'er's neck.

Wanyan Zhu'er felt a black screen before her eyes, and her body fell limply. Wanyan Yi was quick to support her, then bit his back teeth, suppressed the anger in his heart, bowed to Mu Jiurui who was sitting on the dragon throne above him and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know why I suddenly feel unwell today. I'm afraid it's difficult for me to continue serving here. I beg Your Majesty to allow me to leave for a while to rest and recuperate."

Mu Jiurui smiled slightly, nodded, and said loudly: "Go, go! Since she is ill, we should quickly summon our imperial physician to treat her and make sure your sister recovers as soon as possible."

As soon as these words came out, everyone present understood what he meant, and couldn't help but reveal a barely perceptible smile on their faces. Everyone knew that Wanyan Zhu'er was arrogant and willful on weekdays, and now she looked so embarrassed, everyone was secretly happy in their hearts, thinking: Isn't she sick!

When Wanyan Yi heard the faint laughter coming from all around him, he suddenly felt ashamed, and his handsome face instantly darkened. But he knew that it was not appropriate to lose his temper at this time and place, so he could only glare at those people who were laughing secretly, then picked up Wanyan Zhuer who had fainted, turned around and handed her to the two maids who followed behind him.

Afterwards, Wanyan Yi took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and slowly left the hall with the other envoys. However, at the moment he turned to leave, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he secretly swore in his heart: After completing this mission, he must teach this ignorant sister a lesson and let her know how powerful she is!

When he slowly stepped out of the grand and solemn hall, his steps involuntarily stopped for a moment. He turned his head, his eyes like two flaming arrows, shooting straight at Jiang Li who was standing not far away. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, outlining a smile, but behind that seemingly relaxed smile was a bottomless possessive desire, as if he wanted to completely devour the person in front of him.

Mu Jiuchen, who had been watching all this silently, keenly caught the strong aura emanating from him, and a surge of nameless anger suddenly surged in his heart. His originally clear and deep eyes instantly became extremely cruel, like an enraged beast, staring at Wanyan Yi viciously.

Wanyan Yi naturally noticed Mu Jiuchen's hostile and threatening eyes. His body trembled violently, and a chill passed through his heart. Not daring to stay any longer, he quickly turned his head, quickened his pace, and hurriedly fled from this place that made him feel bored, leaving only a slightly embarrassed back figure disappearing from everyone's sight.

With their departure, the Jiang family members finally felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief, secretly thanking that the storm had finally passed without any major incident.

Just now, when Jiang Li said that, Master Jiang was really nervous. Although his daughter's words were true, this matter was related to the peace and stability between the two countries. If the current emperor wanted to blame her for this, there was nothing to say or refute. Fortunately, at the critical moment, the regent came to help in time and resolved the crisis.

At this moment, Master Jiang couldn't help but cast his eyes on Mu Jiuchen, and secretly speculated in his heart: Did he just help Li Er out of the predicament by chance, or did he intentionally take this opportunity to suppress the other party? This question was like a mystery, lingering in his mind for a long time.

At the same time, Mu Jiuchen was keenly aware of the scrutiny from Master Jiang and the admiring gaze from Jiang Li. Facing these two completely different gazes, he remained calm and composed, sitting still as if everything was under control. However, only he knew that deep in his heart there was still a subtle worry.

Jiang Li did not hide her admiration for Mu Jiuchen. Her bright eyes sparkled with light as she sincerely praised him, "You are indeed worthy of being the Regent. You dare to face the strong enemy and never back down!" Hearing her words, Mu Jiuchen instantly felt an indescribable joy in his heart. But just as he was immersed in this little satisfaction, he suddenly felt the doubtful and inquiring eyes from Master Jiang, which made his relaxed mood tense again.

At this moment, the whole hall was filled with a subtle and tense atmosphere. Except for Jiang Ying and Jiang Li, everyone else looked alert, especially Jiang Bu, who looked particularly vigilant. Mu Jiuchen was surrounded by these complicated looks and didn't know how to respond for a moment.
