Chapter 460 - Seizing power (1)

It wasn't a good thing for the court officials to be too unified. Because of this, Zhao Zhe didn't sleep well for several nights. He tried to think of ways that would create conflicts between the officials in the Six Ministries and cause them to split into different groups.

The recent defeat at the borderlands was also quite problematic for him. Clearly, it should have been easy for Great Song's army to defeat Yuzhen. Why had they lost at the last juncture? The military report sent by the border station hadn't clearly described the situation. The report only listed out the number of soldiers that had died or were injured and requested for additional reinforcement troops and army provisions.

As for the important subordinates that were loyal to Zhao Zhe and placed in the army, they had all inexplicably died in battle.

Chapter 459 - Standing by your side (2)

"You don't have to worry about what I'm doing. I wouldn't do anything that would harm you." Ji Man took the list back from him. "Since you're doing your best in the front, I naturally have to do my best to support you from behind. It's only by doing that, that I have the qualifications to stand by your side."

Ning Yuxuan looked at Ji Man for a long time before finally letting out a heavy sigh and hugging her. "I've truly picked up an extraordinary treasure."

Ji Man felt somewhat embarrassed. "Actually, all the women from my world are this clever too. It's only by chance that I was the one that came here."

It was clear that Liu Hanyun's own hands had hastened her death. Although she was plagued by an old illness, she shouldn't have died so early. Ji Man teared up a bit when she found out. However, she had recently lost Haohao, so she wasn't in the mood to think about anything else. When Ning Yuxuan came over to ask what should be done with Xi-er, Ji Man sighed and said, "He's my lord's legitimate son. Your blood and flesh, so he naturally can't be treated poorly. My lord, what are your plans for him?"

Ning Yuxuan said, "Let's give him to Qing-er to care for then. She's worked for me for so long, and her courtyard is quite desolate."

"Okay." Ji Man didn't have any objections. She quietly stood up and put away Haohao's things to avoid having these reminders in plain sight.

Chapter 457 - Mother (2)

On the very last day, Monk Xuwu came. Just like before, his face showed a glow of wisdom as well as a hint of cynicism of the mortal world. He walked over to Haohao's bed. "Amitaba. I warned you a long time ago that this child should be handed over to me to care for. If you had done that, this could have all been prevented. Instead, you insisted on dragging things to this point.”

Ji Man's eyes brightened. She rushed towards the monk and knelt down in front of him. "Great Master, please save the heir!"

Each day, Haohao's condition worsened further. When he woke up, he would be in so much pain that he could only scream and cry. Ji Man felt so upset that she would rather he stay unconscious. At the very least, he would feel less pain in his sleep.

Guibai very quickly found out that Tanxiang had disappeared.

Did she do this? Ning Yuxuan sneered. A portrait of Tanxiang was painted and sent to the local governmental office. Notices that declared she was a wanted fugitive were hanged up. These notices stretched all the way from the capital to thousands miles away. There was no place for Tanxiang to find sanctuary.
