1559 The Second Prince
“This… I don’t know.” Wang Jiu, the captain of the guards who came to report, replied awkwardly.

Duanmu Chun didn’t expect Wang Jiu to be able to answer him. He waved his hand and said, “Alright, let them in!”

“Yes, Your Highness,” Wang Jiu replied respectfully and quickly left.

“What happened?”

Sensing his wife staring at Wang Jiu suspiciously, Mu Tianyan raised his hand and turned her face over to face him.

Lu Zijia blinked and said, “That person looks a bit familiar. I think I’ve seen this person before.”

Mu Tianyan looked at her forehead helplessly. “You’ve already seen him. This is the person who followed the eldest prince on the day Uncle advanced to the Golden Core realm.”

“Really?”

Lu Zijia tugged her ears. She had a feeling that it wasn’t because they met that she found Wang Jiu familiar.

Mu Tianyan pinched her face and said teasingly, “Don’t tell me my wife has Alzheimer’s in advance? But it’s alright. Even if you have Alzheimer’s in advance, I won’t mind.”

Mu Tianyan said as he leaned over and kissed the area between her brows, his deep eyes full of affection.

Lu Zijia rolled her eyes speechlessly. They were cultivators. How could they possibly have Alzheimer’s like the mortals on Earth? Her man was really good at thinking!

Duanmu Heng, who was sitting next to the two of them, saw their interaction and a bitter smile couldn’t help but appear on his face.

Whether it was eight years ago or eight years later, he still didn’t have a chance.

However, this was good too. With Mu Tianyan’s aptitude and ability, he would definitely be extraordinary in the future.

Jia’er and Mu Tianyan were a real match made in heaven, and he… had his own path to walk.
“Hahaha, Fourth Brother and Eldest Brother, we have not seen each other for so many years. Did you miss me?”

The voice of the Second Prince, Duanmu Ge, arrived before he did. His hearty laughter eased the silent atmosphere a bit.

After saying that, Duanmu Ge, who was wearing a purple robe, appeared in front of everyone.

Duanmu Ge was considered handsome, but because of the honest smile on his face, the first thing people noticed was not his handsome appearance, but his honest image.

“Second Brother.”

Duanmu Heng stood up and cupped his hands at Duanmu Ge as a greeting.

Duanmu Heng had always followed the rules obediently. As for this second brother of his, who was controlled by his princess consort, there was no conflict between them, so their relationship was still alright.

In addition, the maternal family behind the mother of the second prince had no power or influence. Even Duanmu Chun, who had always been paranoid, didn’t have any hostility towards this prince.

“Second Brother, shouldn’t you be staying in the Imperial City? Why are you here?” Duanmu Chun asked directly.

“I didn’t want to come here either. Eldest Brother, you have no idea. When my princess consort found out that I was coming to Zhuang Prefectural City alone, she almost beat me to death.” Duanmu Ge said as he patted his chest with lingering fears.

Seeing his useless look, a hint of disdain flashed through Duanmu Chun’s eyes.

As a prince, he couldn’t even control his princess consort. How cowardly!

“So, why did you come to Zhuang Prefectural City?” Duanmu Chun asked again impatiently.

Duanmu Ge casually found an empty seat and sat down. Hearing that, he said a bit excitedly, “It’s all because Father said that Eldest Brother and Patriarch Liang contributed greatly to the beast tide battle this time and asked me to welcome you into the palace personally. Father even said that he wanted to reward Eldest Brother and Patriarch Liang well!”
