Fantasy: My Wife is the Empress, and Our Cute Kids Wreak Havoc in the Nine Provinces – Chapter 331

Chapter 331: Arriving in the Middle Province, the Brats’ Grand Plan to Rescue Their Mother

In the Middle Province, inside the Imperial Capital’s teleportation array.

“Big Sister, have we finally arrived in the Middle Province? We haven’t been teleported somewhere else again, have we?”

Chu Chen was still a little skeptical, tugging at Chu Xin’s sleeve and asking in a low voice.

Chu Xin blinked her big, round eyes, curiously sizing up the teleportation array guards, and whispered, “Little Brother, the clothes they’re wearing are similar to those worn by the Middle Province army and the Middle Province cultivators we saw in the Demon Province. This should be the Middle Province.”

“It seems so.”

Chu Chen also looked at the teleportation array guards, nodding his little head, his big eyes gradually filling with excitement.

Ye Hongxue smiled slightly and said, “This is the Imperial Capital of the Middle Province, the center of the entire Nine Provinces.”

“The Imperial Capital.”

Chu Xin and Chu Chen exchanged a glance, their big eyes shining with anticipation.

Dad had said that Mother was imprisoned in the Imperial Capital. As long as they could find the exact location where Mother was imprisoned, they could rescue her.

“Let’s go.”

Ye Hongxue said with a smile.

“Okay!”

Chu Xin and Chu Chen nodded repeatedly.

“Halt!”

However, as soon as they stepped out of the teleportation array, they were surrounded by the guards.

The Guard Commander approached the three and said, “I apologize, but due to the special circumstances, anyone coming from the Demon Province must undergo inspection and wait for identity verification.”

Ye Hongxue took out her identity token and handed it over, saying, “Demon Province Inspector, Ye Hongxue, returning to the Imperial Capital to report to Her Majesty.”

The Guard Commander carefully examined the token, and after confirming its authenticity, he quickly returned it to Ye Hongxue and saluted, “So it’s the Nine Provinces Inspector. This general was remiss.”

The position of Nine Provinces Inspector might not be higher than his, but he dared not show any disrespect. This was a true confidante of Her Majesty. Not to mention him, even the Imperial Chancellor would treat a Nine Provinces Inspector with courtesy.

“Let them pass!”

The Guard Commander waved his hand, and the guards immediately parted to make way.

“Thank you!”

Ye Hongxue thanked him and left with Chu Xin and Chu Chen.

“Ai Chirou, Ai Kaorou, I have a residence in the Imperial Capital, a reward from Her Majesty the Empress. I’ll take you there to settle in first. After I meet with Her Majesty, I’ll take you to see her,” Ye Hongxue said as they walked.

“Why do we need to see Her Majesty the Empress?”

Chu Xin asked in confusion.

They were here to rescue their mother, and strictly speaking, Her Majesty the Empress was their enemy. They had no intention of meeting the Empress.

Ye Hongxue thought for a moment and said, “You helped the Middle Province suppress the rebellion, you have rendered a service to the empire. Of course, you’re going to receive a reward.”

“A reward? Will there be treasures?”

Chu Chen’s eyes lit up, and he asked curiously.

“Of course, all sorts of good treasures,” Ye Hongxue said with a smile.

Chu Chen looked at Chu Xin. Chu Xin pretended to think for a moment, then reluctantly nodded her little head and said, “Then let’s go see her.”

Ye Hongxue chuckled softly.

After arriving at the residence, Ye Hongxue showed her token and instructed the maidservants to take good care of the two children. Then, she hurried off to the palace.

After Ye Hongxue left, Chu Chen couldn’t wait to whisper, “Big Sister, let’s go rescue Mother quickly.”

Chu Xin glanced at the maidservants outside the room and whispered, “Don’t be hasty. We still don’t know where Mother is being held. We need to find out first.”

“That’s true.”

Chu Chen nodded quickly.

Chu Xin’s eyes darted around, and she turned to the maidservant outside the room. She tilted her little head up, looking innocent, and asked, “Big Sister, can I ask you a question?”

“Young Miss, you can call me A’Cui.”

The maidservant smiled gently, knelt down, looked into Chu Xin’s clear, big eyes, and said softly, “What does Young Miss want to ask? This servant will tell you everything I know.”

◈◈◈

These two little ones were brought back by the master. Perhaps they were the master’s children born in the Demon Province, making them the young masters of this residence. Naturally, they couldn’t be neglected.

Chu Xin blinked her big eyes and said, “Big Sister A’Cui, I want to ask, where are those who have committed serious crimes, or those who pose a threat to the empire, imprisoned?”

A’Cui was taken aback. Why would the young miss ask such a question?

But she didn’t think too much of it. A child who, judging by height and voice, was definitely under five years old, couldn’t possibly have any bad intentions.

So, she smiled and said, “Of course, they are locked up in the Imperial Prison. All the serious criminals and death row inmates are held there. That place, basically, once you go in, you never come out.”

The Imperial Prison?

Chu Xin pondered for a moment and felt that her mother must be imprisoned there.

“Where is the Imperial Prison?”

Chu Chen, who had just walked over, heard this and quickly asked.

“In the Imperial Palace.”

A’Cui replied. After saying that, she looked at Chu Xin and Chu Chen with some suspicion and asked, “Young Master, Young Miss, why are you asking about this?”

“Nothing, just curious.”

Chu Xin waved her little white hand, pretending not to care.

“Yes, just curious.”

Chu Chen nodded repeatedly.

“Oh!”

Although A’Cui was still a little puzzled, she didn’t dwell on it.

Firstly, these two little ones were brought back by the master. The master was the Nine Provinces Inspector, absolutely loyal to the empire and Her Majesty. There was definitely no problem with the identities of these two little ones.

Secondly, the two little ones were simply too young. She didn’t believe they could have any bad intentions.

“Big Sister A’Cui, we’re going to sleep now.”

Chu Xin waved at A’Cui.

“Alright, Young Miss. If you need anything, just call for me,” A’Cui said softly.

“Got it.”

Chu Xin responded and pulled Chu Chen towards the bedroom.

“Big Sister, Mother must be imprisoned in the Imperial Palace. Why don’t we just smash the Imperial Palace and rescue Mother?”

As soon as they reached the bedroom, Chu Chen said impatiently.

Chu Xin rolled her eyes and slapped Chu Chen on the forehead, saying exasperatedly, “Stupid Brother, this is the Imperial Capital, the real Imperial Capital.”

“Yeah, didn’t we come here to smash the Imperial Capital and rescue Mother?”

Chu Chen rubbed his forehead and said aggrievedly.

Chu Xin shook her head, climbed onto a high stool nearby, and sat down. Her big, round eyes sparkled with wisdom as she slowly said, “That was our childhood thought. Now that we’re older, we can’t be so naive. Even the provincial capital has Martial Emperors. The Imperial Capital’s Imperial Palace must have even more, and even stronger, Martial Emperors guarding it. Moreover, the Imperial Palace’s protective formation must be even more powerful. It’s hard to say if we can even break that formation from the outside. And there are powerful Martial Emperors. We only have one chance. If we fail, not only will we be unable to rescue Mother, but we’ll also be in danger ourselves.”

“We have Dad’s spirit bodies,” Chu Chen said unconvinced.

Chu Xin rolled her eyes again and said exasperatedly, “Little Brother, why are you so stupid? Dad is powerful, but why hasn’t he dared to come to the Imperial Capital to rescue Mother? It must be because Dad can’t defeat those people in the Imperial Capital. If Dad can’t defeat them, then Dad’s spirit bodies definitely can’t either. So, we can’t be hasty about rescuing Mother. We need to find a way to sneak into the Imperial Prison quietly, find Mother first, and then quietly rescue her without the Martial Emperors of the Imperial Capital noticing.”

“Then how do we get into the Imperial Prison?” Chu Chen asked curiously.

“To get into the Imperial Prison, we first need to make a mistake, and a big one at that.”

Chu Xin blinked her big eyes, looking like a female Zhuge, and analyzed calmly.

“What’s considered a big mistake?” Chu Chen was puzzled.

Chu Xin pondered for a moment, looked around to make sure no one was there, and then said mysteriously, “Aunt Ye is going to take us to see Her Majesty the Empress, right? What if we spank Her Majesty the Empress when we see her? Would that be considered a big mistake?”

“Spank the Empress?”

Chu Chen’s eyes widened. He was stunned for a moment, then clapped his little hands and said excitedly, “That’s a good idea, that’s a good idea.”
