Peace Order-Chapter 1587 - 27: The Red Emperor’s Resolve, Prince Qin Enters the Pass

Chapter 1587: Chapter 27: The Red Emperor’s Resolve, Prince Qin Enters the Pass

Chen Qingyan originally thought that the great emperor of Central State planned to take this young girl back to Central State to be a noble concubine. Her eyebrows slightly raised, and her palm already rested on the hilt of the sword at her waist.

Chen Chengbi rubbed his fists, ready to fight.

Fight!

Fight!!

His fists were clenched tight, but he didn’t expect this kind of ending.

Even Xue Shuangtao was stunned, taking a few breaths before responding with a salute, though still bewildered, and asked, "I have long been in Chen Country and have never met Your Majesty. What virtues do I possess to deserve such a reward?"

"You underestimate yourself, Princess."

Ji Yanzhong said with a smile, then handed the Imperial Decree to Xue Shuangtao, and took out a box, gently passed it over with his palm.

"This is the Nine Revolutions Return to Primordial Pill from the Red Emperor of Central State."

"It can nourish the body and restore Vitality."

"Prince Qin heard that the Princess was unwell, so he personally led over a hundred riders, galloping thousands of miles to our Central State, and requested this pill from His Majesty, wishing the Princess health and happiness."

Chen Qingyan, Chen Chengbi were stunned.

Chen Chengbi was dazed.

Hmm?? Who??

Li Guanyi?! That boy?

No, this boy, how could he do such a thing?

Chen Qingyan’s expression softened, while Chen Chengbi, after remaining dazed for a long time, instead felt a bit regretful and sighed deeply.

Boring.

I want to fight!

Head cracked, blood flowing!

Xue Shuangtao was quiet for a long time, her face slightly red.

There was a hint of small excitement in her eyes.

She looked at the box, and after a while, gently put it away.

"Thank you, elder."

...

In the palace of Central State.

Ji Zichang quietly watched the snow fall, covering the palace full of political scheming. His daughter was clearly born not long ago but could play in the snow in such weather.

"Yiyah!!!"

Her body is healthy, vitality is extremely strong.

Inviting the Purple Sun Master from the Academy’s Taoist school to look, he said that she was sustained by the extraordinary Divine Skill of a current Great Grandmaster, maintaining a breath of innate energy that allows this child to always remain healthy.

Ji Zichang knew it was done by Li Guanyi.

Noble Consort Wen walked to his side, watching the emperor looking at the falling snow in the sky, Noble Consort Wen said, "Your Majesty." Ji Zichang turned sideways and asked, "Your body is not yet well, today is cold, why did you come out?"

Noble Consort Wen said gently, "Since Your Majesty is here, I come to accompany you." Ji Zichang said nothing, just spread his cape to cover Noble Consort Wen with it, using his martial arts to block the cold.

Noble Consort Wen stood quietly beside Ji Zichang, appreciating the rare tranquility in this era of stormy turmoil, chatting about household matters, and said, "Did you send the Red Dragon Imperial Army to Chen Country?"

Ji Zichang said, "Yes."

"I am going to recognize a sister."

Noble Consort Wen was puzzled, then suddenly understood, and said:

"Is it the granddaughter of the current Duke Xue?"

"Yes."

Ji Zichang chuckled, "The pharmacist doesn’t care much about the world’s opinions, but I understand better than him the great power of the tongues of the world; also better than him... what he doesn’t care about, some people can’t help but care."

"Not everyone is like Prince Qin."

Ji Zichang thought of the childhood sweetheart who ’fell ill’ and passed away, his voice paused, even though it had been almost twenty years, there was still a feeling hard to articulate, still a thorn in his heart.

But, looking back at that time, didn’t he notice anything wrong?

Of course he did.

Although Ji Zichang was young then, he was sharp, noticed something, sensed dissatisfaction from surrounding clans, royal families, those uncles, and marquises with his choices.

But regarding such dissatisfaction, he was filled with disdain.

What can you do about your dissatisfaction?

At that time, he was royalty, he was the Crown Prince, he knew he would be the most honorable person in the future, filled with confidence, believing that those conspiracies couldn’t hurt him, but did not foresee that while they couldn’t hurt him, they could hurt others.

"The pharmacist was bold and upright, some things, he didn’t plan perfectly, those who are formidable and resolute sometimes subconsciously think, those around them must also be strong, also fearless."

"But the tongues of the world, public opinion can melt gold."

"Such confidence, if someone must follow in his footsteps, will bring them suffering."

Ji Zichang, embracing Noble Consort Wen, chuckled and said:

"Let me be the one to make it up for him."

"The reputation of the Red Emperor’s era is not much left."

"Help him a bit, it’s better than letting it go to waste, better than it being squandered by the full court’s civil and military officials."

Ji Zichang then thought of asking Ji Yanzhong to help say a few words, feeling smug, and said with a smile:

"Haha, that boy pharmacist is all about the world, clearly caring about others but doesn’t know how to say anything pretty, still needs me, his elder brother, to help."

"Hahahaha, when they have a grand wedding one day, if I don’t take my seat at the table, no one can pick up their chopsticks."

Noble Consort Wen laughed and said, "You are Your Majesty, the ruler of the world."

"When Prince Qin marries, if you don’t come, all the officials of the world certainly can’t pick up their chopsticks, it’s against the etiquette."

Ji Zichang muttered, "Ruler of the world."

He laughed self-deprecatingly and said, "For someone like me, the territory of Central State is merely over a thousand miles in radius, throw a stone and it can knock down several Lords and ministers; the soldiers wear good armor, but cannot wage wars to the four corners."
