Chapter 760 - I am going to be father!! (2/2)
Wen Ru pursed his lips in nervousness and waited for Ji Cheng's reaction. It's been 10 minutes since he has revealed to him the news how Ji Zhelan and Xiao Li's father attacked their both borders and if not done something, they will soon penetrate the country.
He had expected a loud reaction from him but instead of that, he was quiet and had his eyes closed as if he was thinking something.
'Is he disappointed in me for not taking appropriate action in time?' Wen Ru wondered.
After a long silence, Ji Cheng opened his eyes. He started at Wen Ru without speaking, making him even more worried and nervous.
Since this happened under his rule, it was his responsibility for managing the country and he failed in it. He sighed deeply and was planning to kneel to apologize to him, but was surprised when he heard his words.
” Hmm…. he reacted later than I expected.” Ji Cheng murmured under his breath in a low voice, which surprised Wen Ru.
” Your Majesty, what do you mean you expected this? You knew about this attack?” Wen Ru couldn't believe his ears if he heard it right or was he just hallucinating.
Ji Cheng smirked and made himself comfortable supporting his back against the chair by leaning back. His hands were folded in front of the chest as he crossed his legs and shook them to clear his mind while thinking about the current situation.
”Ji Zhelan is nothing without Xiao Ruogang's support. If he backs out from this one-sided war, then Ji Zhelan will be easy to deal with.” Ji Cheng said.
” But why would he do that? Xiao Ruogang is doing this because of Consort...Xiao Li's death. Since he is her father, he won't accept her evil deeds and will only see how we punished her.” Wen Ru rubbed his temple as he was getting a headache from dealing with this.
” Arrange the items that should be sent to the border for soldiers and prepare a palace army in case of an attack. And make arrangements for us to leave tomorrow, we're going to the border tomorrow,” he announced which shocked Wen Ru.
” Your Majesty! You're going to the border yourself? But why? It can be dangerous. If you want to send someone, I can leave tomorrow. There is no need for you to go yourself.”
Ji Cheng let out a deep breath and shook his head, ” No! Wen Ru, I am glad that you took care of the palace behind me, but there are things that only I can take care of. As an Emperor, I can back off at times of danger. During the succession ceremony, I have taken the oath to protect the people of the Ji Dynasty, how can I back out at times like this?”
” But...what about Her Majesty? Isn't she pregnant? How will she react when she finds out that you left for war?”
Hearing Wen Ru's words, Ji Cheng's expressions turned dull. With a bitter smile, he said, ” She is the Empress of Ji dynasty, I am sure she will manage the Empire well in my absence.”
” Your Majesty…” Wen Ru pursed his lips upon hearing his firm decision. He wanted to persuade him to not go to the borders but the condition there was indeed not good. He was confused about whether to take side with the Emperor of the Ji Dynasty or his brother.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #!!_52137254751097423 for visiting.
