Chapter 389 Escort Mission
"I'm sorry, boss. Even with us by her side, we couldn't protect her properly..."
Black Dog felt too ashamed to face Xi Yu, so he hung his head low. The fat man next to him also had his head down like a madman.
"Never mind, without you guys, Mom might have been entangled with that man." Xi Yu waved her hand and asked, "What's the situation with that ancestral home Mom went to? Did you investigate?"
Mu Junze answered the question in Xi language.
“I have confirmed that the house was indeed sold more than ten years ago, but two years ago, An Changhai bought it back through connections and it has been vacant ever since.”
Xi Yu frowned immediately. If the ancestral home were in someone else's hands, it would be simpler, but since it was in An Changhai's hands, it wouldn't be so easy to buy it back from him.
"Let's put the house aside for now. I'll find a way to get it back." Xi Yu lowered her eyes, then looked up at Mu Junze and said, "Uncle Mu, please spend as much time with Mom as possible during this period, so that she won't be too depressed."
"I definitely will. The maid can handle the shopping and other chores. We'll try our best not to go out." Mu Junze readily agreed, though he already regretted not accompanying Xi Hua out today.
"Leave the miscellaneous tasks to us!" the black dog volunteered, taking on the important duties.
“I don’t blame you for this. Speaking of which, Black Dog, Fatty, and Crazy can go out for a walk. It’s a rare opportunity to come to the capital, so it wouldn’t hurt to go out and see the world.” Xi Yu knew Black Dog’s sense of responsibility. If she hadn’t said that, he would definitely have stayed up all night acting as a bodyguard.
The fat man was very interested in Xi Yu's suggestion; he wanted to go and have some fun too!
"How about this? There's a royal princess giving a speech at Donglai Square in two days. It should be quite lively. If you're interested, you can come and watch," Xi Yu suggested after thinking for a moment.
"Really? Great, I definitely have to go! I heard Princess Xin is a cold beauty, and her photos sell quite well online!" The fat man said with a lewd grin, rubbing his round hands together.
"All you do all day is look at women online, you bastard!!" The black dog slapped the fat man hard on the head in exasperation.
The fat man yelled and quickly hid.
"Come on if you want, but be careful." Xi Yu ignored their playful antics, said goodbye to Mu Junze and Elder Mu, and returned to the legion.
She can only go out for two hours at a time, and security will become increasingly tight as the day of the speech approaches.
……
On the day of the speech, Mo Qinglan had already led her guards to wait outside the palace before dawn.
Besides the First Legion, the Fourth Legion's guard was also stationed here, but Xi Yu did not see Di Han. She heard that Di Han had also been incorporated into the guard team.
Inside the palace, the captain of the royal guard had just arrived to report for duty.
"Prince Han, Princess Xin, the army's guards are already waiting outside the palace," the garrison captain said respectfully.
"Hmm." Yue Zhengxin responded lightly and waved away the garrison captain.
Di Han, leaning against the window behind him, gazed at the distant palace gates and said slowly in a low voice, "Does Your Majesty really intend to do this?"
A sinister glint flashed in Yue Zhengxin's eyes as she resolutely declared, "This is the quickest way for our royal family to regain military power!"
She's had enough of having a title but no real power!
She had finally waited until her younger brother came of age and was able to join the legion to show his skills, but he was blocked from entering the First Legion. Why?! With Han Di's abilities, could he be worse than those new recruits?
