Chapter 1359 - 1008: Return to the Capital

Chapter 1359: Chapter 1008: Return to the Capital

On the bed, Xiaosuisui, just like before, still had her eyes tightly shut.

However, unlike before, there was a slight redness to her complexion.

"This...it seems that the complexion of my dear granddaughter looks better than before."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that the white-clad scholar made a hand gesture, closed his eyes, and began chanting. Although everyone could see his mouth opening and closing, they couldn’t hear what he was chanting.

This continued for a little less than the time it takes for burning an incense stick before stopping.

"It’s done!"

Finally, just as everyone was getting anxious, the white-clad scholar spoke.

Hearing this, everyone rejoiced and quickly asked, "Done? When will she wake up?"

They all spoke in unison.

"Uh! Where... where am I?"

The soft voice, babyish and as if still not fully awake.

"Suisui!"

Everyone rushed to the bedside of Xiaosuisui, only to be pulled aside by Ji Shang grabbing them by their collars.

"Sweetheart, quickly see who I am?"

Xiaosuisui blinked and looked at Ji Shang for a long time before calling out, "Grandfather!"

Ji Shang’s smile was so wide it almost reached his ears.

"Ah, my sweet little one, Grandfather missed you to death. Quickly see what good treasure Grandfather brought for you!"

As he said this, he reached out to take something out, but Xiaosuisui pushed him away angrily, "Grandfather, you almost got me killed, I nearly lost my soul!"

Ji Shang: "?"

Everyone: "?????"

"Suisui, what do you mean by this?"

Ji Youzhi was the first to react and asked.

Huo Xing’Er also said, "Suisui, did you sleep for too long and got confused? Your grandfather just came, he’s the one who brought this little scholar to save you. How can you say it was your grandfather who harmed you?"

Upon hearing this, Xiaosuisui’s lips pouted, and she said aggrievedly, "Grandfather told me that the Celestial Thunder Bead could kill Xunyang, but he didn’t mention that the bead’s power was too great and that only one could be used. As a result, I used two, almost killing myself."

Everyone: "..." They didn’t know how to respond to this!

Ji Shang: "..." Did he not say that?

How could he not remember?

"I see, it seems some people are getting forgetful in their old age. Such an important thing wasn’t made clear, almost got you killed!"

Ji Youyuan was filled with resentment.

Ji Shang then said, "I... I didn’t think she would actually use it! Besides, I planned to deal with that guy myself. Who knew she would have such skills to handle it alone."

Ji Shang felt that this trip to the Continent of Celestial Thunder was a waste.

"You just eat a few bites of this!"

Ji Youyuan was unceremonious, not giving his father any face.

"Alright, Suisui has finally woken up, this is indeed good news. Let’s quickly send this message back to the capital! The Emperor and the Empress Dowager must be worried out of their minds."

Xie Pan’Er quickly came out to mediate.

Ji Shang remained silent.

Prince Ata then said, "I’ll send someone to deliver the message right away."

After saying this, her gaze fell on Xie Pan’Er, "Your Highness! How should I explain to the Emperor about your trip to Nanjiang?"

Xie Pan’Er just...

"Just don’t mention it, I’ll leave the city immediately, let Dafei take me back."

Hearing Xie Pan’Er mention Dafei, Xiaosuisui got excited and said, "Dafei is here, then I’ll go back with the pretty aunt too! Let Dafei carry us back together."

"You’ve just woken up, it’s better to rest for a few days before going back!"

Prince Ata quickly stopped her.

Xiaosuisui shook her head, "It’s fine, with Dafei here, nothing will happen to me."

Then she headed straight out of the Royal Palace, not giving Prince Ata, who was trying hard to keep her, any face.

"Grandfather, will you go back with us?"

"Of course, I came to go home, where else would I go if not with you?"

Xiaosuisui laughed cheerfully.

With Grandfather here, maybe the hardships of hell would be avoided for Grandmother.

Dafei and Xiaoqing carried everyone here, and now they carried everyone back.

Only the always overlooked Ji Youbo was left forgotten in Nanjiang, with Princess Ata asking people to take good care of him until he healed before returning.

In the Imperial Palace, the Empress suddenly went missing, and the Emperor was furious. Everyone in Kunning Palace, without exception, was given thirty lashes.

The Empress Dowager was also very anxious, saying to the Emperor, "What good is just beating them? Can’t you send someone to look for her? What if she’s missing her family and secretly left the palace to go home?"
