The steward was thinking about how to perfunctory the past, and the main gate of the palace had already been opened from the inside.

"Brother An! My Ango! A middle-aged beautiful woman dressed in a gorgeous dress with two fine lines between her eyebrows had tears in her eyes, and was supported by a young girl in her cardamom years, and hurriedly walked out of the door.

The eyes of the two were locked on Ji Yongan who was holding a horsewhip for the first time, and the maids behind the two also looked at Ji Yongan with tears in their eyes.

"Mother!" Ji Yongan is a person who practices martial arts, and when the door has not opened, he has already heard the footsteps in the door and the sound of the door opening.

While shouting "Mother", Ji Yongan strode towards Wu.

Wu was originally also a tiger girl, although she has been in a bad mood for many years, but in the end, the bottom of her body is there, so she is not the kind of sick and crooked resentful woman.

Especially at this time, she was reunited with her only son after a long absence, and the joy made her whole person radiant.

"Brother An! Mother's Ango! With tears in her eyes, Wu struggled to reach her son's cheeks with both hands.

Ji Yongan hurriedly knelt on his knees and looked up at his mother, "Mother, my son is not filial, so you are worried." ”

Wu shook his head vigorously, "What a stupid thing you said!" Mother doesn't worry about your brothers and sisters, do you still worry about those irrelevant idlers? ”

Ji Yongan's sister heard her mother mention herself, and hurriedly took this opportunity to squeeze around her mother and brother, and the little girl had tears in her eyes, "Brother, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

"Long time no see." Ji Yongan smiled and looked at his sister who had grown into a big girl, "In the past few years when my brother has been away, my mother is thanks to you by my side." ”

The little girl couldn't help blushing slightly when she heard this, "It's always been my mother who has been protecting me, and I, I haven't actually done anything." ”

Ji Yongan smiled slightly, and stood up under the pull of his mother, "Companionship is also very important, if it weren't for you, there would definitely be more than two fine lines between our mother's eyebrows." ”

Ji Yongjing was distressed and couldn't help laughing at what her brother said, she looked at the two fine lines on Wu's eyebrows, "Our mother has not had a good time these years. ”

Although their father, Ji Heng, the king of Chu, is not a bastard who spoils his wife and destroys his concubines, and even if the Wu family is angry with him because of his son's affairs, he always puts the Wu family in the position of the main wife, and gives the Wu family enough respect and trust.

The reason why the Wu family is worried all the year round is actually more because she can't control her worry about her eldest son Ji Yongan.

A few years ago, when Ji Yongan had just gone missing, Wu was like a fried lion, while she continued to send people to find Ji Yongan, who was asserted by many people as "certain death", and at the same time targeted the culprit and several accomplices who made her lose her son in the inner house.

If it weren't for the fact that Ji Yongjing was still young and needed more protection from her mother-in-law, the Wu family wanted to directly enter Concubine Liu's courtyard with a sword, and slaughtered her and the two little cubs she gave birth to all to vent their anger.

Ji Heng, the king of Chu, was very keenly aware of the strong resentment in his princess's heart, and he almost immediately sent his two concubines out of the Pingxi palace at that time.

As for Concubine Liu, Ji Heng weighed it again and again, and didn't dare to get her out of the palace to shelter - without him, it was really that the princess Wu at that time no longer had any reason at all, and Ji Heng didn't want to anger the Wu family because of this, so that the Wu family would no longer even care about her daughter.

If things really develop to this point, not to mention that Ji Heng's backyard will no longer be stable, even the entire northwest region will also fall into turmoil because of the Wu family's sky-high anger.

You must know that although the Wu family has lost its father, brother-in-law and two cousins, and the youngest brother can't support the Wu family's court, the huge connections left by Wu's father and brother are enough to shake the northwest boundary where Ji Heng is entrenched.

The Wu family was originally a member of the Northwest Wang clan, and their family only had a little less time guarding the northwest than the Ji family. When it comes to the intertwined relationship network in the northwest, Ji Heng feels that the Wu family is actually not lost to their Pingxi Palace.

The reason why the Wu family usually looks inconspicuous is entirely because the Wu family's heirs are thin, so they don't want to be rich and powerful, but just want to slowly multiply and firmly root their roots in the northwest.

After years of accumulation, although the Wu family is still thin in children, the collateral and in-laws of the Wu family have spread all over the northwest.

As the current acting ruler of the Wu family, if the Wu family is really desperate, angry, and open-minded, and has to break the bodies of Concubine Liu's mother and son into thousands of pieces, then even if the person who wants to protect Concubine Liu is Ji Heng, he is not completely sure that he will protect Concubine Liu's mother and son in the northwest realm.

Of course, Ji Heng doesn't care whether the stupid woman Concubine Liu is alive or dead, the reason why he usually protects Concubine Liu is entirely because of the last wish of his father Old Prince Ji.

Unlike his mother, the old princess, Ji Heng has always admired his father's feelings more than complained, as for resentment, because the old prince Ji never thought of replacing him as a son in the world, and he has always been careful in cultivating him, and the old princess has never complained about the old prince in front of his son, so Ji Heng really did not resent his father.

This is also why he attaches so much importance to the last wish of Old Prince Ji, and will defend Concubine Liu as his concubine when there is no ironclad evidence, and will reduce the punishment for her when she repeatedly makes mistakes.

However, Ji Heng didn't expect that the "slight leniency" he thought he had for Concubine Liu would actually make Concubine Liu's guts fatter and fatter, and her heart darker and darker.

Just because after Ji Yongan and the Wu family were separated a few years ago, the Wu family failed to catch the tangible evidence that Concubine Liu attacked Ji Yongan, and Ji Heng took a firm stand to defend Concubine Liu.

This incident made Concubine Liu think that Ji Heng would always follow the old prince's last words without any position.

She relied on this "Shang Fang Sword", repeatedly stretched out her hand to the Wu family mother and daughter, and last year she directly used the power of her mother's family to mobilize the elite of the army, and then under the instigation and praise of her confidant mother, she personally led them to intercept and kill Ji Yongan.

However, Ji Yongan, who has been away from home for several years, is no longer Wuxia Ameng, he is now strong and far more comparable.

In addition, he was accompanied by He Shuning, Mu Qingyun and Yan Nanxiao, and the four of them joined forces to not only protect the Wu family, but also cut down all the soldiers brought by Concubine Liu under the sword.

Concubine Liu herself was also disfigured by Ji Yongan's sword, and then lost the heart of her own son because of this.

And Ji Heng, who has been protecting Concubine Liu, finally tasted the consequences of foolishness and filial piety, and after separating from his wife, son, and Wu family, his ability to lead the army and govern the army was questioned by some of the generals under his command.
