Chapter 1924: Chapter 1862: The Test from Wufu

During the days of Empress Song’s confinement, the Beiyan Imperial City seemed unusually calm, yet in the minds of those who were particularly alert and sensitive, there was a sense of invisible oppression, as if a great storm was brewing secretly, and the present calm was merely the tranquility before the storm.

As the day for the Son of Heaven’s sacrifice approached, Ah Jiu and Wufu concluded their ’Praying for Blessing’ and returned to the Beiyan Imperial City.

After freshening up, Wufu sat in the Warm Pavilion, listening to Purple Jade and others report on the affairs of Prince Jin’s Mansion.

The year-end was near, and year-end gifts had to be distributed everywhere. Although she was a newly returned Princess Consort, Prince Jin’s Mansion was an independent entity with its relevant connections that required attention during festive seasons, where mutual gift-giving was necessary.

The people around Wufu were all dependable, and she didn’t need to worry about giving or receiving gifts, she just needed to listen to their reports to understand.

After the tedious reporting of the Mansion’s affairs concluded, the managers withdrew, and Wufu summoned several people, including Chi Er, to speak.

"The elders have already arrived and, following the Princess Consort’s instructions, have been settled in the residence we prepared," Chi Er said. "The elders also wish to pay their respects to the Princess Consort; does the Princess Consort want to summon them?"

Ever since Ah Jiu handed these members of Chi to her in those days, they completely belonged to Wufu’s own force, distinct from the Hidden Guards concealed in the shadows, rather they were Visible Guards who could face the world, even being leaders of organizations praised by many.

Like Chi Yi and Chi Si, they were the leaders of that North Wolf Team. Now, the Mercenary Corps under their command had developed on the right track through the past two years, having both personnel and finances.

Meanwhile, Chi Er and Chi San, in cooperation with external partners, managed her private assets and controlled another group of Hidden Guards, while Chi Wu and Xiao Liu often accompanied her, responsible for protection and intelligence gathering.

Everyone had their roles and functions; even without Ah Jiu, Wufu wouldn’t be left like a blind person, unable to utilize anyone.

Of course, this was just the beginning; her future was still long, and to forge these people into an indestructible and independent implement would require the test and baptism of time.

"I haven’t seen them for almost two years; it’s time to meet," Wufu also considered and said, "Let them come over in the evening."

She temporarily didn’t wish to expose Chi Yi and the others to outsiders, keeping them in the shadows was more prudent.

"Yes."

After Chi Er finished reporting, just about to make arrangements, Wufu stopped him: "Wait."

"Please instruct, Princess Consort."

Wufu stood up and walked two steps, saying, "Not necessarily tonight; let them come to me using their skills to infiltrate Prince Jin’s Mansion."

Chi Er was stunned but quickly understood: "The Princess Consort wishes to test them?"

"I must scrutinize what they have gained during their time away, to see their skills," Wufu said, blinking: "On this side, the Mansion won’t know when someone will infiltrate, I also won’t notify the Mansion’s guards, each side will rely on their abilities."

Chi Er understood, it seemed this was not only to test Chi Yi and the others but also to include the Mansion’s Visible Guards and Hidden Guards in the assessment.

As for who would prevail, it truly depended on their abilities, and whichever side lost he could foresee miserable training in the future.

Looking at Wufu’s expression, prepared to watch the drama unfold, Chi Er couldn’t help but shed a tear of sympathy for both Mansion and Chi Yi and the others.

Having a Princess Consort who doesn’t play by conventional rules is truly both fortunate and unfortunate!
