Chapter 1753: Chapter 1691: The Situation

Wufu returned to the cabin and went to check on Changsheng first. The little one felt a bit uncomfortable when he first got on the ship, but he got used to the voyage now and wasn’t causing any trouble.

Seeing the little one sleeping soundly with his rosy cheeks, Wufu grinned and quickly retracted her hand after poking his face.

Only after returning to her room did she summon Chi San and Chi Wu to talk.

"Has the prince sent any letters yet?"

Chi San replied, "Not yet, but based on the timeline, the prince and his entourage should have returned to Beiyan. Maybe he’s tied up with trivial matters and hasn’t had the time to send a message."

Wufu bowed her head and said, "No matter how busy one is, a note of safety can still be sent. I’m just afraid he’d report happiness but hide worries."

Chi San and Chi Wu exchanged a glance and said nothing.

"Never mind, if he doesn’t write, can’t I write? I’ll send him a message later to inform him of our whereabouts."

"Understood."

"I called you over because there are some things to instruct." Wufu furrowed her brows and said, "This time going to Quanzhou, that Mei Family’s Eagle Hall is not our territory. You don’t know the background, so you need to be vigilant."

Both were taken aback.

Wufu said indifferently, "He is my uncle, yes, but to put it bluntly, this uncle is also a halfway outsider. In terms of deep feelings, he’s still not as close as you who have shared life and death experiences with me."

As for blood ties, she admitted she was rather indifferent in that aspect, whereas in terms of bond, she naturally valued those who shared closer ties with her. How close could Hua Wushuang be as her blood uncle, having only acknowledged each other for two or three months?

Moreover, in the Mei Family and that Eagle Hall, only Hua Wushuang is her uncle, why would others care who you are?

Therefore, she must stay alert at all times and not indulge in illusion just because she has some Eagle Master uncle, thinking she’s so impressive she can walk sideways.

"Arriving at that place, you don’t have to deliberately probe into their operations, but if you can know, learn more about them. How to maintain that balance, you understand."

"Understood, miss!" Chi San and Chi Wu clasped fists in salute.

Only then did Wufu let them go, spreading out paper to write a letter to Ah Jiu.

...

Beiyan Imperial Palace.

Ah Jiu had just retreated from Yangxin Hall to Cining Palace, his expression cold and indifferent.

He had returned to Beiyan several days ago, just as Wufu expected. On this return journey, he encountered two assassination attempts, and by the time he returned to Beiyan Imperial Palace, he had acquired several wounds, minor and major. As for those lost along the way, he wouldn’t mention, but at least he returned safely.

Emperor Yan had been in a coma for nearly seven days before waking up; the palace was already in chaos, with several sons eyeing hungrily for the throne, fighting amongst themselves, with concubines crying outside Yangxin Hall. If not for Empress Dowager Mo maintaining control with the authority she had when she first assisted Emperor Yan’s ascent, internal turmoil would have erupted already.

And upon returning to Beiyan, Ah Jiu took over the situation controlled by Empress Dowager Mo and helped manage court affairs.

Now that Emperor Yan had awakened, the residual poison wasn’t completely cleared, and he was still very weak, unable to even review the Memorial to the Throne. Bai Xiaobai was assisting with detoxification, so Ah Jiu couldn’t simply leave things unattended.

These days, Ah Jiu was busy suppressing several nephews and the families backing them, simultaneously having people investigate the mastermind behind the assassination attempts, so occupied that his feet hardly touched the ground, leaving little time for rest, and he hadn’t even sent a message to Wufu.

"Your Highness, the prince has arrived." The Palace Maid bowed to Ah Jiu and reported to Empress Dowager Mo.

Empress Dowager Mo looked at her son, seeing his thin yet resolute face, a flicker of relief in her eyes.
