Chapter 1200: They Really Do Look Similar!

“If you have something to report, do it now. If not, the court is dismissed!” Eunuch Zhang’s sharp voice resounded throughout the imperial court.
After that, only a few officials reported some trivial matters to the Emperor.
His Majesty frowned slightly but did not get angry.
The officials below looked at the abnormal Emperor, but their hearts were pounding. They did not know if the Emperor was happy or angry.
However, for safety reasons, those who had things to report gently touched the scrolls in their sleeves and did not take them out to present to the Emperor.
The Emperor waited for a moment, but there were no more reports. He stood up and smiled.” Since you have nothing to report, I feel a little bored. How about I bring you to a place?
Hearing the Emperor’s words, the officials immediately looked at each other in surprise.
Is His Majesty bored? Would His Majesty be bored? There was clearly something wrong with his words!
There must be something going on.
Then, the Crown Prince stood up and asked,” Father, where are we going?
“Nanyuan Manor!” Yuwen Longyan said.
As soon as he said this, it was like throwing a huge stone into a lake, causing countless waves and splasnes.
“Nanyuan Manor?”
A few months ago, His Majesty had personally decreed that no one was allowed to set foot in the Nanyuan Manor without the permission of General Jiang Zhennan. Otherwise, they would bear the consequences!
Initially, everyone was curious about Jiang Zhennan’s sudden supervision of the Nanyuan Manor. However, with the Emperor’s imperial edict, the Nanyuan Manor immediately became even more mysterious.
The various forces were unable to find out the secrets of the Nanyuan Manor because no matter who it was, as long as they did not get permission, they could not get close to the manor.
The Nanyuan Manor became a forbidden land for the people of the capital. It was even more unfathomable and mysterious.
But now, the Emperor had personally ordered all the officials of the imperial court to enter the mysterious Nanyuan Manor, which was regarded as a forbidden area by the various factions in the capital.
“Strange, why would His Majesty suddenly ask us to go to the Nanyuan Manor?” In the Imperial Court, the officials whispered to each other.
“I don’t know.”
“However, I heard that the Great General has returned. Nanyuan Manor is also the private property of the Great General. Perhaps, the reason why His Majesty wants us to go to Nanyuan Manor is because of the Great General.”
“Eh, speaking of the Great General, why didn’t I see him in the morning court today?”
“Tsk, isn’t it normal to not see the Great General? The Emperor was very indulgent to him, allowing him to come to the morning court whenever he wanted to. If he didn’t want to come, then so be it!” As the official said this, he felt a tinge of jealousy in his heart. However, he could not show it clearly.
“I heard that the Great General suddenly returned to the capital this time and did not wear his silver mask. I heard that his face was not disfigured or ugly.
On the contrary, he was a handsome man. I did not know if it was true or not.”
“Of course, it’s true. Two days ago in the palace, this official even specially greeted him.”
The second-rank official, Lord Zhang, said excitedly,
“Although he’s not wearing that mask anymore, his entire body still exudes that cold and fierce aura, which still gives people a terrifying and cold feeling.
After I said goodbye to him, I found an excuse to leave!”
After all, not many people could withstand Jiang Zhennan’s terrifying and fierce aura.
‘Eh, is that so? Lord Zhang, I really admire you!’
Usually, even when Jiang Zhennan came to court, he would be alone. Therefore, he did not have any good friends in the court.
Even if they wanted to curry favor with him, they couldn’t find him.
Instead of trying to curry favor with Jiang Zhennan, it was better to build a good relationship with the other officials.
“Speaking of the Great General’s appearance, I remember now. He seems to resemble Duke Zhengguo!” Lord Zhang said.
Hearing Lord Zhang’s words, many people immediately turned to look at Duke Zhenhguo, Jiang Yunfeng.
Jiang Yunfengs expression turned ugly when he saw all the civil and military officials looking at him.
Because of Wen Yujing’s words, even if everyone believed that Jiang Zhennan looked like him, he would not acknowledge Jiang Zhennan as his son.
However, even though Jiang Yunfeng’s expression was ugly, he did not dare to show it to civil and military officials, especially when the Emperor was still sitting on the dragon throne.
He pretended to be surprised.” Oh, really?”
“Yes, yes, I’ve seen the Great General before, and he really looks like the Duke!” A few people who had seen Jiang Zhennan immediately echoed.
Duke Zhengguo could only nod with a stiff expression.” he’s my son. Of course, he looks a little alike!”
In fact, he was also a little suspicious of Jiang Zhennan’s appearance.
Some of the people who were not on good terms with the Duke immediately stepped forward and asked with a smile,” Duke Zhenguo, have you been to
Nanyuan Manor? Can you tell us what exactly happened there? This time, His
Majesty wants us to go to the South Park Manor. It really makes us curious!”
Duke Zhengguo’s face darkened as he glared at Li Hongjie. He could tell that Li Hongjie was deliberately making things difficult for him.
He clearly knew that the unfilial son had a bad relationship with him, yet he still asked him this question.
Jiang Yunfeng’s face darkened as he said,” Lord Li, you also know that the
Nanyuan Manor has become a forbidden area for the people of the capital. Even I am unable to enter. If Lord Li was really curious about the Nanyuan
Manor, he could follow His Majesty to take a look!”
Lord Li smiled and nodded.” Oh) so the Duke doesn’t know either!” In fact, he was mocking the poor relationship between Jiang Yunfeng and Jiang Zhennan.
In fact, everyone with discerning eyes knew that Jiang Yunfeng and Jiang Zhennan were more like enemies than father and son.
In fact, many people were secretly mocking Jiang Yunfeng for treating his second son as treasure and throwing away the real treasures.
Of course, many people understood Jiang Yunfeng. After all, Jiang Zhennan had a jinx fate. He had already jinxed his mother. Who knew when he would jinx his father to death? Therefore, it was better to stay away from him.
Zhengguo Duke listened to their discussion of the relationship between father and son with a dark expression and did not say a word.
The Emperor, who was sitting high on the dragon throne, looked at the civil and military officials below. They had shifted from the topic of Nanyuan Manor to Jiang Zhennan’s true appearance. They even mocked Jiang Yunfeng from time to time. He suddenly felt that it was interesting.
However, when he thought of the matter of going to the Nanyuan Manor, he immediately said,” Dear ministers, go back and change into plain clothes. In an hour, gather at the capital gate!’
“Yes, Your Majesty!’
However, they were puzzled.. Why did they have to change into plain casual clothes?
