The Challenge of a Farmhouse Son-in-Law-Chapter 939 - 933: Gave Birth to a Fool

King Jin clenched his fists tightly, his heart seething with anger. Moments later, he gradually relaxed and smiled.

"Mother, rest assured, I am confident in dealing with him."

The Empress raised an eyebrow, "Oh? Has my son grown capable?"

"Mother, now that he has acknowledged his ancestors, he is no longer the elder brother of Tianzong. The current Jin Zijin is merely a lonely Prince. He has no connections among the court ministers and is clueless about court affairs. I think he is even inferior to Jin Tingyu."

"Hah..." The Empress felt a pang of pain in her heart upon hearing these words.

She thought to herself, having been so intelligent all her life, standing out among many sisters in her family, she had given birth to such a fool.

Fortunately, he wasn’t completely useless.

She said indifferently, "Alright, continue to keep a close watch on Jin Tingyu."

As for Jin Zijin, she would handle him personally.

King Jin didn’t say much and responded affirmatively.

"Ah, there are two more tasks for you to handle."

"Mother, what tasks?"

The Empress’s expression darkened. "Deploy the Hidden Guard you have trained, as the Heavenly Master and the State Preceptor have disappeared, and everyone is searching. We cannot idle either. Jin Zijin once hid in Lotus Village under a false identity and lived as a hunter for six years. Last year, Tianzong and Xuanzong encountered a significant event precisely at the back mountain of Lotus Village, it would be best to find out what they were actually doing there.

The other matter... Qianqing had a good relationship with Gu Youyou before she was married. This woman is his weakness. If Qianqing wishes to visit her parental home, accompany her. You understand how to proceed discreetly, right?"

King Jin bowed and said, "Your son understands."

"Alright, I’m weary now, you may go."

King Jin stood up and bowed to leave, "Your son takes his leave."

The Empress waved her hand and propped her head, leaning against the back of her chair, her eyes closed, not speaking.

It seemed like she was resting.

However, King Jin re-entered the palace shortly after leaving.

The Empress opened her eyes, puzzled, "Xiaoran, is there anything else?"

With a solemn expression, King Jin spoke softly to the Empress, "Mother, just now you asked your son to investigate the Heavenly Master and the State Preceptor. Suddenly, I remembered something."

Seeing her son being so earnest for once, the Empress also grew serious.

"What is it?"

King Jin drew closer to the Empress, lowering his voice, "That day, the general of Yangguan City deployed troops to seal off Tianmen Mountain. No one could enter or leave without permission, yet they unexpectedly captured someone."

"Who?" the Empress frowned, her son’s words indicating that this person was not simple.

She had always been paying attention to these matters, yet she hadn’t received this news.

King Jin whispered, "They captured Madam Ru and a group of her subordinates."

"Madam Ru?" The Empress looked even more puzzled. "What was she doing in those deep mountains?"

This woman always gave her a very frail impression; she couldn’t imagine such a woman venturing into the deep mountains for nothing.

Could she be related to that mysterious matter with the Dao Family?

"Her people carried a coffin out; the coffin contained only a skeleton, and its identity remains unknown."

"Oh... a skeleton?" The Empress’s expression carried a hint of mystery.

King Jin said, "Madam Ru’s status is rather sensitive, so the general of Yangguan City didn’t publicize the incident. Instead, he secretly sent a confidential letter to the emperor. However, for some reason, the emperor suppressed it. If your son hadn’t arranged for people in Yangguan City, we would not know of this secretive matter either."

"My son is thoughtful," the Empress squinted her eyes, her expression even more enigmatically mysterious.
