Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family

Chapter 1117: Chapter 1116: Forever Good Brothers Chapter 1117: Chapter 1116: Forever Good Brothers Gao Qi glanced at the imposing city gates, hesitating for a moment, “Princess, didn’t the court send news a few days ago that His Majesty was gravely ill? Whether or not our party enters the city, I fear the battle will be difficult either way.”

Gao Qi spoke circumspectly.

Previously, the liaison from the Great Zhao who was supposed to contact them had been unable to reach them. It was not until their party left the mountains that they finally made contact. It turned out that news had come from the Great Zhao four months earlier, stating that His Majesty was seriously ill, and they requested Princess Ruyu to return to court posthaste.

Liu Sisi considered for a moment and instantly understood!

The reason why the King of Xixia Country chose to cause trouble and go after Lin Xiner at this time was probably because he knew about the Emperor of the Great Zhao being gravely ill and took action.

This meant that His Majesty’s condition might be extraordinarily severe.

If His Majesty became bedridden from this illness, the troops accompanying Liu Sisi, including Marquis Yongwu and Gao Qi, would certainly be reassigned. Being reassigned might be considered fortunate, as there are countless historical precedents of the hunter cooking the hunter’s hound once the clever rabbit is dead; the fate of everyone present was tied solely to Liu Sisi at this moment.

“At present, there is internal strife in Xixia, ethnic groups around us are eyeing us like tigers their prey, and even within the Great Zhao itself, the three Princes are far from being at peace. Caught in between, we face a dilemma regardless of whether we advance or retreat. Does anyone have any good suggestions? Feel free to share your thoughts!”

Upon those words, everyone fell silent.

Marquis Yongwu was silent for a moment, “Princess, do not worry. Whether the Princess wishes to advance or retreat, we shall follow your lead with utmost loyalty! Without a second thought!”

This was an indirect way of expressing their heartfelt loyalty!
