The Divine Doctor And A Common Farmer-Chapter 1538 - 1624: This Person Has Become Too Monstrous
Not keeping the Great Commander and Huang Qi locked up is one thing, but if these people still harbor ill intentions towards her, she is by no means easy to deal with.
Being a wife is to be strong; she is not afraid of overt schemes but is wary of covert plots. If those people really make a move against her and her family, she will definitely not show mercy!
Even if those people are the loyal death soldiers of Her Majesty the Empress, if things reach a point of no return, she will not hesitate!
The servants conveyed Dong Huiying’s exact words to the Great Commander, who frowned and pondered for a long time.
After taking the pills from the bottle, it was found that her paralysis was lifted, and her previously depleted Inner Strength was restored. Such methods are truly remarkable.
Huang Qi and the other death soldiers immediately regrouped with the Great Commander after gaining their freedom.
"Commander!"
Huang Qi first saluted the Great Commander and then inquired, "What should we do now?"
The Great Commander let out a deep breath, "I don’t know either..."
She did not trust Dong Huiying. If Dong Huiying did not possess these methods, she could have subdued her by force, such as capturing those men to threaten Dong Huiying, but the problem now is that a handful of poison powder from Dong Huiying is more formidable than a thousand troops. They absolutely cannot compete with her openly. She has become so inscrutably cunning!
Even though her brute strength was astonishing back in the day, while she was good at leading troops into battle, she was not particularly crafty and was almost naively straightforward in life, with little shrewdness and not as resourceful as she seems now. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
Now, she truly doesn’t know what to do.
The Great Commander sighed deeply.
"We’ll just wait and see. She claims she can remove the parasite within Her Majesty and wake her up. Whether it’s true or not, since we’ve waited all these years, a little longer wouldn’t matter."
After pondering for a long time, the Great Commander added, "Later, send someone to contact the Ninth Princess. After all that has happened over the years, I dare not trust anyone, but if His Highness Ninth..."
The Great Commander considered for a moment, "If His Highness Ninth is lucid again, she will surely make various plans, which may allow for coordination from within and without. As for whether Dong Baowei is trustworthy, I believe His Highness Ninth can also help us judge."
In those earlier years, they did not contact Ji Jiuhuang because there were too many spies from all factions in the palace, and also because Ji Jiuhuang was mostly feeble-minded, with too few moments of clarity.
In the Great Commander’s view, Ji Jiuhuang had become a worthless piece, and even if contact was made, it wouldn’t be of much use and might even expose them to danger.
But the situation is different now.
The Great Commander clearly knows Ji Jiuhuang’s filial piety towards Her Majesty the Empress, and while she can’t trust Prince Meng, she can trust Ji Jiuhuang when lucid.
A few days quickly passed by.
Although Dong Huiying no longer restricted the freedom of the Great Commander and the others, allowing them to move freely, they did not leave.
They ate Dong Huiying’s food, lived under her roof, and from time to time provoked her. Dong Huiying also found it... exasperating.
For example, that day, Dong Huiying was admiring flowers in the back garden when she saw the Great Commander striding towards her briskly.
"Marshal indeed has the penchant for leisure and elegance."
Dong Huiying, upon seeing the Great Commander’s demeanor, knew at once that she was here to pick a fight again.
