My Wife Is A General Who Killed Tens Of Thousands On The Battlefield Chapter 108 – Where Did This Old Fogey Come From?

“Who would have thought that there would be such a knowledgeable person among the younger generation of my Great Zhou!” Emperor Zhou muttered.

Ji Yuchen continued, “That's right, Your Majesty. This kind of young man is the one that Your Majesty should focus on nurturing. Although the idea he proposed is not perfect, it was but a mere casual remark. If we can get this person to plan carefully, it might be better.”

Emperor Zhou looked at Ji Yuchen and asked, “Don't you know who it is?”

Ji Yuchen smiled bitterly. “At that time, when I heard such unprecedented words, I was only thinking about it. By the time I realized it, that person had already left. However, I remember clearly that the person sitting with him should be a princess. And according to that person's words, he must be the son of a powerful person in the capital!”

Deity Zhou rubbed his chin and said, “From your description, this young man's tone seems familiar… He even has a roguish aura… Who is he?”

Emperor Zhou didn't think about Su Wen at all.

After pondering for a moment, he was still unable to come up with an answer.

Ji Yuchen continued, “Your Majesty, after carefully considering the young man's words, the supervision of such a policy is indeed a big problem. I can't think of what to do no matter how I think about it. Therefore, I hope that Your Majesty can find this person. I'll ask for guidance in detail and perfect a plan for Your Majesty!”

Emperor Zhou said helplessly, “Even if you say so, where can I find him?”

Ji Yuchen smiled. “Doesn't he know the princess? His Majesty can just summon all the princesses and ask them in detail. Then, you will naturally know who they are.”

The old fellow had this idea.

Emperor Zhou thought for a while and said, “That's a good idea! How about this, it's already a little late today, and the Sacred Debate Banquet cannot be paused like this. After the morning court assembly tomorrow, Elder Ji will enter the palace and accompany me to ask the princesses.”

Ji Yuchen immediately agreed.

The two of them returned to the banquet venue, and the atmosphere was much more relaxed.

The banquet could be said to have ended perfectly.

After the morning court assembly the next day, Ji Yuchen entered the palace. Emperor Zhou summoned all the princesses that were of age as well.

These princesses were all confused, not knowing what Emperor Zhou wanted to do.

After seeing these princesses, Emperor Zhou asked in a low voice, “Have any of you been to Bright Moon Lodge to eat with others recently?”

As soon as these words were spoken, all the princesses started to think back.

Ji Yuchen looked at the princesses expectantly.

After a while, only the Fifth Princess Zhao Xuanxuan, Seventh Princess Zhao Wanrou and Eighth Princess Zhao Qingyue each took a step forward.

Emperor Zhou waved his hand and said, “The rest of you may leave!”

As the others left, Emperor Zhou asked, “Who did you go with? When did you go?”

The Fifth Princess: “Daughter went out with the celebrity Wei Peng, daughter of the Anqing Marquis…”

Once she said that, Emperor Zhou was sure she was not the person they were looking for.

Then he looked at Zhao Wanrou, who could only whisper, “I went with Su Wen… six days ago.”

Zhao Qingyue smiled, “What a coincidence. I went with my sister on the same day, and I went with the Changping Marquis' son, Wan Hu!”

Ji Yuchen said excitedly, “It must be him!”

On the other side, Emperor Zhou began to suspect something!

Wan Hu? Emperor Zhou had seen that kid before. He was just like his name, built like a real tiger! He was a pure brute. How could he say something like that?

However, he remained calm and waved his hand to dismiss the Fifth Princess. He then asked, “What did you say when you went to Bright Moon Lodge?”

Zhao Wanrou's heart tightened. After some hesitation, she decided to protect Su Wen. After all, she had already promised Su Wen not to tell the emperor about the conversation that day.

She said in a low voice, “That day, I only talked to Su Wen about the delicacies in the capital and nothing else.”

Zhao Qingyue smiled and said, “We were talking about how Brother Su Wen spent thousands of gold to redeem a beauty for himself. His wealth is something that even we can't compare to!”

Ji Yuchen hurriedly said, “Your Highness Qingyue, I know that that person told you not to tell His Majesty the contents of the conversation, but you have to know that this is a major event that will determine the future of countless citizens of the Great Zhou! It's a national policy! So please tell the truth, Your Highness!”

Ji Yuchen subconsciously excluded Su Wen! In his opinion, the one who spoke was certainly Wan Hu!

Zhao Qingyue was confused, but Zhao Wanrou instantly understood!

This process was to find Su Wen!

What to do? What should I do?

His Majesty, the Emperor, sat high up on the throne. He looked at Zhao Qingyue below as she quickly denied anything, while Ji Yuchen tried to persuade her again.

Only now did he finally get a sense of what was going on!

Could it be… Su Wen was the one that actually said all of that?

'That's possible. That brat is cunning and has been influenced by Su Changqing on a daily basis. Perhaps that's why he has such thoughts.' Emperor Zhou stroked his chin and thought to himself.

Looking at the anxious Ji Yuchen, he remembered that the old man almost embarrassed him yesterday.

The Zhou Emperor laughed and said to the two princesses, “You two can leave now!”

After the two princesses left, Ji Yuchen said, “Your Majesty, that person must be this Wan Hu. Your Majesty, please quickly summon this person into the palace and tell him not to be afraid to let his thoughts run wild for the country!”

Yes, the old man subconsciously believed that Su Wen, who was a notorious youth in the capital, was definitely not the person who spoke.

Emperor Zhou said with a smile, “We'll just let Su Wen and Wan Hu enter the palace. Coincidentally, didn't Elder Ji want me to punish that Su Wen? I'll take this opportunity to deal with him!”

Ji Yuchen remained silent.

Emperor Zhou immediately sent someone to issue a decree.

After a while, a eunuch reported, “Your Majesty, Su Wen and Wan Hu are waiting outside the hall!”

“Let them in.”

Soon, Su Wen and Wan Hu entered the hall.

Su Wen was dressed in expensive clothes and had a mink fur coat. It was extremely luxurious.

As for Wan Hu, he looked tall and strong.

The two of them bowed when they entered. “Su Wen (Wan Hu) pays his respects to Your Majesty!”

Ji Yuchen was dumbfounded. Wan Hu had such a tall figure! Most importantly, Wan Hu's voice was extremely thick, and there was a huge gap between him and Su Wen. Just now, the few princesses had sweet voices, and Zhao Wanrou spoke in a soft voice. Ji Yuchen did not recognize the Seventh Princess's voice, but now, he could tell that Wan Hu was definitely not the person from that day. Instead, it was Su Wen who had a similar voice as the youth who spoke the other day!

Emperor Zhou however didn't ask about the meal they had, instead pointing at Su Wen as he scolded, “You brat! Do you know your mistake?”

Su Wen was dumbfounded!

What was going on? He summoned him so early in the morning, and the first thing he said was for him to plead guilty?

What has he been doing recently?

Su Wen recalled carefully.

“This subject doesn't know!” Su Wen said aggrievedly. “I really haven't done anything recently! I've been resting my kidneys at home for the past few days and haven't gone anywhere! I didn't fight, I didn't bully anyone, and I didn't skip work either. Moreover, I've been teaching very well recently!”

Emperor Zhou sneered and said, “You don't know? You hit Guo Bin, and dare say you don't know? Elder Ji told me that this matter cannot be forgiven easily! You must be severely punished!”

Su Wen turned to look at Ji Yuchen who was standing by the side. A trace of confusion flashed across his eyes. 'Where did this Old Fogey come from? Why is he so cheap with his words? He brought this up again? Isn't this matter over?'
