while Zong Yu stood silently before her.I never realized how strong his sense of pressure was before It really makes my heart beat faster.Finally, Fang Jinshi couldn't hold back anymore, she tried to...Chapter 1183: You Can't Go

Fang Jinshi raised her eyes and saw the two people.

"Come on in, everyone."

Yulian and Zongbai exchanged a glance and walked past each other. Zongbai spoke first.

"Big Brother, what did the Emperor say when you went to court today"

Your expressions, how they all...

Zongyu raised his eyes, solemn and serious.

"War is coming."

Upon hearing this, Zong Bai let out a small sigh of relief. He had thought it was something more serious. The battle between Daxia and Xixia was something he had been mentally prepared for.

This time, not only will I go to the battlefield, but Jinxiu will too.

Upon hearing this, the entire Zong family’s expressions changed. Mu Shi even stood up directly from her chair.

"What"

"Jinxiu is just a woman. What does war have to do with her How could she possibly set foot on the battlefield"

Zong Yu only said two sentences, and the Mu family's emotions were stirred.

"No, I won't."

She walked up to Fang Jinshi and grabbed her wrist, pulling her behind her.

"Such a large imperial court, is there no one else who can go to the battlefield to fight How come the emperor only keeps his eyes on our family Now he even doesn't let go of Jinxiu, a woman."

"Is this what His Majesty means I, I shall go to the palace to see him and ask for clarification."

Mu usually had a very timid personality. In the past, she would instinctively tremble at the mere mention of the emperor. Now, in order to protect her own child, she has become unexpectedly strong and courageous.

Having entered the palace to question His Majesty about this, Fang Jinshu knew her mother was so worried because of herself. Her heart warmed while she held onto her mother's hand at the same time.

"Mother, this is not what Your Majesty meant."

"It was my idea."

It seems that A-Yu's family background is going to be fully revealed to the whole family today.

I kept it hidden before, mainly out of fear of the royal family. I was worried that someone in my family might accidentally let slip the news.

Now Fu Shangyuan knows everything, if they keep hiding from their mother it won't be good.

"Mother, do you still remember Ah Yu's origins"

We all know his mother is someone else, but we've never known who his father is.

Mu's heart skipped a beat, and even Yulian and Zongbo widened their eyes, waiting for Fang Jinshu's next words. The mystery of the eldest brother's birth unraveled

"Have you found Big Brother's biological parents"

Fang Jinxiu nodded.

"Ah Yu's biological mother and the deceased Princess Jing were sisters, she came from Xixia and was the eldest princess of the Xixia royal family."

Many years ago, the Long Princess was sent to Daxi by the Western Xia royal family for a marriage alliance, becoming a concubine in the harem of the previous emperor.

Fang Jinshi's few words were like throwing a bomb into the water to the other members of the Zong family. Several people were shocked and couldn't recover for a long time.

Zong Bai was the most quick-witted, having pieced together everything that had happened recently. He was the first to react.

"He is from the royal family, big brother."

But this result still shocked him to the point of disbelief.

If what your sister-in-law said is true, then elder brother is not only the exiled prince of the Da Xi royal family, but also carries the bloodline of the Western Xia royal family.

No wonder Big Brother was summoned to the palace by His Majesty, Sister-in-law would be so worried.

The eldest brother is actually the emperor's half-brother, which is an unbearable situation for any monarch to have someone with his strength and military power by his side.

So today, Your Majesty summoned my elder brother to the palace intending to kill him

As soon as Zong Bai thought of this, a cold sweat broke out on his face. Thankfully, both of them returned safely. It seemed that His Majesty had temporarily put aside his murderous intentions towards his elder brother.

After understanding the cause and effect, Zong Bai's eyes became noticeably more worried.

"Yes, A-Yu and Your Majesty are brothers."

If we don't resolve Dayi's crisis that is coming up soon, even if Your Majesty doesn't exterminate our family, our lives will be miserable once Dayi collapses.

"So this trip, I and A-Yu have to go."

There was a mix of resentment and unwillingness in Zong Bai's eyes, "Sister-in-law, let me go."

Yu Lian and Mu Shi were still confused. After so long, they still didn't understand what was meant.

What does

Ah Yu's identity have to do with fighting

"You've been talking for ages, what's actually going on"

"How did Ah Yu become a royal, he, he..."

Mu realized what had happened.

"Are you saying that His Majesty summoned Ah Yu to the palace...to kill him!"

After sorting out the cause and effect, Yu Lian was a little frightened. Her brother and sister-in-law almost didn't come back.

"Sister-in-law, why did the Emperor have to send you to war too Does he want our whole family to die on the battlefield"

The emperor didn't want to dirty his hands, so he sent them to the battlefield to die, is that what you mean

If that were the case, they might still have a fighting chance on the battlefield.

Fang Jinxiu shook her head.

"His reputation precedes him, Your Majesty. How could you possibly agree to let our entire family leave"

"When the war comes, you will all be taken into the palace by His Majesty."

"It's called protection, but really..." Fang Jinshi paused.

"Is this really house arrest"

She nodded at Zong Bai.

“However, even in the palace, once the two countries begin to fight, the situation in the capital will inevitably become more chaotic. Neither I nor Ah Yu are at home, and leaving you both in the mansion, we wouldn't feel at ease.”

"The palace became an absolutely safe place."

Fu Shangyuan still hoped their plan would succeed and wouldn't harm their families easily. His mother and Zong Baiyulian were safer staying in the palace than anywhere else.

Zhong Bo nodded. "I understand."

"Then let Mother and Yulian both enter the palace, sister-in-law, I'll go to Xixia with you."

Zong Bai knew A Sheng's identity. His family probably only had Yu Lian, that silly girl, who treated A Sheng like a poor slave. When he saw A Sheng's face under the mask that resembled his elder brother's five points earlier, he suspected his identity in his heart.

Now it's even more certain, Asheng must be connected to the Xi Xia royal family.

Sister-in-law keeping Ah Sheng at home for so long, and recently always taking him with her, further confirms his guess.

Big brother is going to the battlefield, sister-in-law is probably planning to split her forces and go to Xixia.

As for her purpose in going to Xixia, it naturally had something to do with this war. Whatever it was, the journey was extremely dangerous, and he didn't want his sister-in-law to take such a risk.

If he couldn't replace his sister-in-law to execute the mission in Xixia, then he would go with her.

Fan Jinshi immediately refused without hesitation.

"No."

"You can't go."

Mother's first child died because of his reputation, Zong Bai is Mother's only son now, and she and Ah Yu how could they possibly let Zong Bai go on an adventure.

"Why can't I go"

Fang Jinshu thought for a moment, "The Zong family now has only you two brothers. If you don't enter the palace, how can Fu Shangyuan believe that we will come back."

"If we run out of chips, Mother and Jade Lotus will be executed by him at any moment."

Although their families always believed in gender equality, outsiders perceived that males were more valuable than females.

Putting aside their reluctance to let Zong Bai go into danger, even if she was willing to bring him along, Fu Shangyuan wouldn't agree.

Fang Jinshi's reasons were very realistic, Zong Bai deflated and lowered his head.

“Alright, I’ll go to the palace with my mother and sisters.”

With the eldest brother away, he was the only male in the family. Naturally, he had to take responsibility for protecting his mother and younger sister.

So Zong Bai didn't hesitate for long before he agreed.

I can't just watch my mother and sister enter the palace alone to face danger.wealthy family.Come in.Her house wasn't very big, and it was full of people. Fang Jinshu didn't want to bring the man into her and Zong Yu's room to talk, so she just found a stool and talked outside....
