Chapter 78: The National Master's Face Hurts

Not long after, Ji Youyuan and the others returned, their expressions extremely solemn.

Grandma Ji, having weathered many storms, held herself steady. She let them eat first before sharing the news of the National Master's arrival.

"Why would the National Master arrive so soon? Logically, even if I sent an urgent 800-li message, traveling day and night, His Majesty should only receive it this evening at the earliest!" Ji Youzhi was confused.

Ji Youyuan also found the situation to be highly suspicious.

If he hadn't calculated that time was insufficient, he wouldn't have had Zhu Xiuxiu carry his handwritten letter to invite Grand General Xu to come and oversee things.
