Chapter 199 Other Men
Jiang Jin looked at Mu Jiaojiao who was thinking carefully at the side, and said softly, "The Empress Dowager of Dayu, his royal grandmother, was from the Tang family. She is now the aunt of the virtuous concubine. Although she has worshipped Buddha for many years, she does not interfere in the affairs of the court and the harem."
But that was his eighth brother, the prince of Concubine Xian. Isn’t he sixteen years old now?
I guess she will enter the court after the New Year this year. It’s time for the Empress Dowager who worships Buddha to come out and move around, right?
"Ajin, what are your plans?"
Mu Jiaojiao looked at Jiang Jin with a sarcastic smile on her face, put down the secret letter in her hand, and spoke lazily.
She was actually prepared for the fact that Jiang Jin was found out about his illness and had sent people to cover it up many times before.
This time, it was probably Jiang Jin's brothers in the court who noticed something was wrong, but they couldn't find Jiang Jin's whereabouts, so they directly cut off the source of the problem. They stopped investigating and directly recalled Jiang Jin to Yudu.
Isn't it only when someone is under our noses that we can know whether his illness is getting better? Isn't it only when we can discover his every move?
"My dear, the Queen Mother's birthday is on the fifth day of the winter month. It's only about two months away now. I would like to set off for Yudu today."
Jiang Jin thought for a while and told Mu Jiaojiao about his plan. It would take about half a month to travel from Yuzhou to Yudu at full speed, and it would take about one and a half months to travel from Cangzhou to Yudu, so the time was already quite tight.
It's just that this matter happened in a hurry, and Jiang Jin really didn't expect that his brothers were still worried about him even though his legs were disabled and he was poisoned!
He has tried to cover it up many times, but his brothers still want to keep him in Yudu.
However, Jiang Jin knew that there was another possibility. Now the four forces in the court were evenly matched and gradually weakened. Everyone wanted to win his support. After all, although he returned the military command, his influence in the army was incomparable.
Jiang Jin, the young general and the god of war prince of Tianmen Pass, can mobilize the black-armored iron army stationed at Tianmen Pass without the need for military tokens.
He was the one who led and built up the Black Armored Iron Army. The current Emperor Xuanhe had also considered disbanding the Black Armored Iron Army and dispersing it into other armies, but Jiang Jin was no longer at Tianmen Pass, and the deterrence of the Iron Armored Black Army could not be lost.
Therefore, the Black Armored Iron Army is a sword to the enemy, and it is also a sword that must be fought for by them, except for Jiang Jin's Dayu royal family.
Mu Jiaojiao also knew the urgency of the matter. After discussing it with Jiang Jin, Jiang Jin took his men to Yudu first. After she had arranged all the matters in Jiang Fengye City and Lihua Village, she would bring the two children to Yudu.
Jiang Jin decided to set off three days later. He wrote a letter to Ye Zijin, informing her that he would return to Yudu immediately. He also wrote a letter to Xi Yanzhi, the manager who stayed in Cangzhou to manage the Tianxia Diyilou.
The main request was for him to come to Maple Leaf City that day and stay with Mu Jiaojiao and her son.
Afterwards, he kept the seven Anbu guards around him, except for Yunyu who was in the open, including An Er and An San. By the time everything was arranged, two days had passed.
Night falls.
"Xiao'er, Zhao'er, Daddy has to go back to Yudu first because of something. You two brothers will stay with Mom. Once your Mom has arranged the affairs in Maple Leaf City, she will bring you to Yudu."
Mu Jiaojiao and Jiang Jin were in the room of their two sons. Jiang Jin looked at the two children lying on the bed with their big eyes blinking and gave careful instructions.
"Dad, do we have to go back?"
After hearing what Jiang Jin said, Jiang Mingzhao looked uneasy and his tone was depressed. He didn't want to go back to Yudu or the palace.
He just wanted to live a peaceful and simple life in Maple Leaf City with his parents.
Little Jiang Mingxiao didn't react much. When he heard that his father would be away from the three of them for a while, he continued to play with his fingers.
He still didn't understand the meaning of going to Yudu, nor did he understand the meaning of parting. He only knew that having his mother was enough.
"Zhao'er, Daddy doesn't want to go back either, but our surname is Jiang, and this surname is destined to return to Yu. We have our responsibilities."
Hearing this, Jiang Jin sighed, touched his eldest son's head, and spoke without hesitation.
They were destined to return to the treacherous Yudu. As children of the royal family, they enjoyed this honor, but were also destined to have a complicated life.
Jiang Mingzhao was silent for a while after hearing what Jiang Jin said. He knew very well that they had responsibilities and they could not escape. He was just greedy for the simplicity and purity of the past year.
"Dad is away these days, so you have to be good and listen to Mom, okay? Zhao'er is a big boy now, so help your Mom with everything. Especially other men around your Mom, keep an eye on them."
Jiang Jin looked at the silent child, then looked at Mu Jiaojiao who was sitting on the chair beside him. He gave instructions to Jiang Mingzhao in a gentle voice, and specifically asked him to keep a close eye on his mother.
"Got it! Daddy."
Jiang Mingzhao turned to look at his mother, pursed his lips, and said solemnly.
He will listen to his mother obediently. When his father is not around, he is the biggest man in the family and he will help his mother share the worries.
As for the men around his mother, he will keep a close eye on them. He can't let his mother run away with other men. After all, his father is really not that good, and he can't let his mother be devoted to him.
Hey!
As a son, I can only ask him to help out more!
So sad!
"Well, you two, father and son, will see each other again soon. Why is the atmosphere so heavy?"
Mu Jiaojiao looked at Jiang Jin telling a little kid that he was a grown-up boy, and her face turned black.
When he heard Jiang Jin let the child keep an eye on him, he was even more speechless. What kind of mess is going on in the mind of this great Prince Jin every day?
"Xiao'er, Zhao'er, it's getting late. Go to sleep. Children can't stay up late or they won't grow taller."
Mu Jiaojiao then told the father and his two sons to go to bed quickly and stop thinking about unnecessary things.
After Jiang Jin heard what his wife had said, he didn't dare to tell his son any more instructions on how to get rid of the bad men who would appear around his wife in the future.
He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to climb into his wife's bed tonight. They would be separated for several months, and he would feel suffocated if he slept on a soft couch tonight.
Then the couple watched the children fall asleep before returning to their room.
"My dear, I will miss you all the time when I leave. What should I do?"
Jiang Jin changed into a set of quilted clothes and hugged Mu Jiaojiao, who was also wearing quilted clothes, from behind. He rested his head on Mu Jiaojiao's shoulder and acted coquettishly. How could he look majestic at all?
Mu Jiaojiao rolled her eyes inwardly when she heard this. Her man was really clingy, but she still coaxed him, "You can write to me."
"But I miss you even when I write to you. I will write you a letter in three days, and you must reply!"
"Okay, okay, I'll definitely reply to every one of your letters, okay? Prince Jin."
"Yeah, my lady is the best!"
