Chapter 2197: Chapter 2197: Listen, It’s Laughable

Although he believed that there was no need for them to inquire about the happenings in the Central Imperial Palace, they still managed to hear some unpleasant news.

“High Priest, my lord, Yuu Rong and I just overheard that although Emperor Zhong is cruel and selfish, he listens closely to General Ning. And this General Ning is the biological brother of the Empress.”

“Oh?”

An Jiuyue raised an eyebrow and glanced at Leng Yikun and Yuu Rong.

So, does this mean that behind Emperor Zhong, there’s someone giving him advice? Is that right?

“General Ning, is it? Is he powerful?” she asked.

“Well… how should I put it?”

Yuu Rong was at a loss for words when trying to describe this General Ning. After thinking for quite a while without saying anything, Leng Yikun stepped in to explain.

“High Priest, my lord, according to people in the palace, during the Nine Kingdoms War two years ago, Emperor Zhong initially listened to his ministers’ opposition and didn’t want to get involved.

It was because of General Ning’s instigation, compounded by the fact that he commanded an army of 500,000, that they began invading other countries. Together with the Emperor of Beikun and King Wang Ze, the chaos of the Nine Kingdoms War was created.

And this army of 500,000 in his hands was almost completely destroyed in that chaotic war.

It’s said that over the past two years, he has repeatedly set his sights on the 500,000 soldiers under the Ninth Prince’s command. He even made several secret proposals to Emperor Zhong to assassinate the Ninth Prince.

Additionally, regarding the Yiinn Family’s issue, it was he who first collaborated with the Emperor of Beikun. The two hit it off, leading to everything they did to the Yiinn Family.”

“Ha.”

An Jiuyue laughed as she listened.

A sovereign ruler, taking advice from his Empress’s family brother, ended up losing his throne in the process. Can there be anyone more inept?

“Since this is the case, we don’t have much else to do, so let’s go pay a visit to General Ning’s Mansion.” she said.

“Let’s go, let’s go, beat him, beat him!”

Little Nuonuo, upon hearing his mother’s words, clapped his tiny hands and shouted milkily.

Qian Jiyun, hearing his son’s voice, reached out and gently pinched his chubby little cheeks, helplessly saying, “You sure know how to cheer for your mother. Beat him? And now your little mouth doesn’t hurt anymore, does it?”

He thought his little baby was cutest when he’d been eating something spicy and couldn’t talk, only able to blink his large, watery eyes pitifully at his parents. Much more hassle-free back then.

“Beat him–bad person.”

Little Nuonuo’s voice weakened after being pinched, but he still muttered softly.

Anyway, he didn’t care. He didn’t want to go back into his mother’s space–it was too spicy in there. He’d cried, and his mother still laughed. He wanted to go out with her to play.

“All right, let’s go beat the bad guy.”

An Jiuyue extended her hand, ruffling her son’s soft hair.

“But Nuonuo has to eat till he’s full before beating the bad guys. Let your daddy feed you until you’re full.”

Upon hearing this, Little Nuonuo brightened up, opening his tiny mouth towards his father.

“Daddy, ah!”

“Pfft!”

Yuu Rong and Leng Yikun both couldn’t hold back their laughter at the adorable sight before them.

With Little Nuonuo around, the journey wasn’t boring. Even riding on the back of a triceratops felt fun. They secretly hoped the little guy would grow up quickly, so he could start running, jumping, and climbing trees to steal bird eggs–it would be even more entertaining then.

“Fine, Daddy will feed you.”

Qian Jiyun, helpless in front of his beloved son, could only scoop spoonfuls of food to feed him. Meanwhile, he carefully picked out all the purplish vegetables from the plate.
