Chapter 348: My World
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
When Noble Consort Ling woke up and saw the unfamiliar man beside her, she tried to explain to Emperor Linghui in fear. But he ruthlessly turned his head and heartlessly locked her in the woodshed.
He personally beat Gu Chilie up, almost causing him to lose half his life. Quan Qiaorong thought that her plan had succeeded and was secretly delighted. Little did she know that the mantis was stalking the cicada, unaware that the oriole was behind.
Gu Chilie was arranged by Emperor Linghui from the beginning.
Emperor Linghui spared Gu Chilie’s life because of his own reputation and Gu Chilie’s reputation in the army. He also gave Chu Tianbao, whose bloodline was unclear, to Gu Chilie to raise.
Noble Consort Ling, on the other hand, was divorced by Emperor Linghui. He used the excuse that since Chu Tianbao’s grandfather had done him a great favor, although Noble Consort Ling had let him down, he had no choice but to be responsible for her and locked her in the courtyard in the suburbs.
His series of actions made the entire family think that he was a loyal man, so he obtained General Quan’s trust and married Quan Qiaorong over.
Quan Qiaorong did not want Emperor Linghui to go to the courtyard in the suburbs from time to time. Afraid that they would reconcile, she specially asked Emperor Linghui to bring Noble Consort Ling back to the residence to torture her.
At that time, Emperor Linghui had yet to gain the complete trust of the entire family, so he could only let Quan Qiaorong torture and humiliate Noble Consort Ling.
If not for the fact that Noble Consort Ling was thinking about the young Chu Tianbao, she would have committed suicide long ago.
In a flash, Chu Tianbao was eight years old.
When he was practising martial arts, a masked man in black suddenly appeared. The man in black was highly skilled in martial arts, would bully him and scold him for being weak. Later, he became his Master and taught him the best martial arts.
When he was 10 years old, he had already found out his identity, so he begged the man in black to bring him to see Noble Consort Ling.
No matter how good Gu Chilie was to him, his feelings towards him were mixed with his personal desire for power.
He knew who the man in black was. After being rejected, he knelt for an entire day before the man in black finally agreed.
From then on, he also became a knife in the hands of the man in black and wore a mask.
It was just so that he could meet his mother often.
Chu Tianbao had grown up. He was handsome, tall, and capable.
Quan Qiaorong, who knew very well that he was definitely the biological son of Emperor Linghui, once again had a plan to get rid of Chu Tianbao and his mother.
However, how could Chu Tianbao be killed by ordinary people? She had sent people to assassinate Noble Consort Ling several times but had failed. Noble Consort Ling, who was secretly protected, could not be touched if she had not come up with a foolproof plan. After all, her father was already dead, and the military power had completely fallen into the hands of Emperor Linghui. Moreover, Emperor Linghui had already become the overlord who was endangering the Yan Kingdom.
She could no longer lay her hands on Noble Consort Ling. If she did, her past misdeeds might be exposed. Chu Tianbao would instead be brought back by the Emperor Linghui to solidify his identity as the eldest prince.
While the territory of Emperor Linghui continued to expand, Chu Tianbao’s military achievements also increased. Quan Qiaorong was extremely worried. Finally, she told her son, Chu Mingxuan, that Chu Tianbao was actually his elder brother.
Chu Mingxuan had always regarded himself as the only heir of Emperor Linghui. How could he tolerate such a huge threat? Therefore, when he found out that Chu Tianbao had gone to stop the rebelling kings, he pretended that the enemy had set an ambush and killed Chu Tianbao.
After his subordinates collaborated to stab Chu Tianbao in the chest and cause him to fall into the cliff, he would definitely die. Chu Mingxuan sent people to look for the corpse but could not find it, so he forged a rotting corpse that was identical to Chu Tianbao.
At this point, Chu Tianbao was saved by Bai Wutong, and Chu Mingxuan obtained the military power controlled by Chu Tianbao as he wished.
With Emperor Linghui’s cunning mind, it was very likely that he thought that
Chu Tianbao was not dead. Or perhaps in order to protect Chu Tianbao from Chu Mingxuan, he specially conferred the title of Duke Ling, and buried his fake corpse in the imperial mausoleum.
It was also possible that he really believed it and let Chu Tianbao’s death be left unsettled.
After all, how could a kingdom be more important than a son? If a son died, he still had a harem of 3,000 beauties and could give birth to countless sons in the future.
Chu Tianbao had lived too aggrievedly for the past 20 years.
He was clearly a a prince, but he had become an abandoned child who had not seen the light of day and had to look for some warmth in the cracks.
Noble Consort Ling had been schemed against by her lover all these years, humiliated and tortured by Quan Qiaorong, and separated from her child. How painful was that?
Bai Wutong hugged him with heartache and promised, “l wish you a safe journey. You have to bring Mother back well.”
Chu Tianbao kissed her forehead. “I’ll be back before you give birth.”
It would take at least five months to go back and forth. If he took Noble Consort Ling away, Emperor Linghui would definitely send someone to chase after him. There would definitely be obstacles on the way.
The more anxious they were to rush back, the more likely it was for something bad to happen. Moreover, how could Noble Consort Ling withstand the treacherous road along the way?
Bai Wutong said reluctantly, “There’s no need to be so rushed. You still have
Mother with you. Even if you don’t consider yourself, you have to consider
Mother’s health. I still have six months before I give birth. You might just happen to rush back. Don’t be too anxious.”
“Even if you can’t make it back in time, it’s fine. With Doctor Wen and Doctor Gu around, I will definitely be able to give birth safely.”
After the last time Bai Wutong was poisoned, it was very likely that the child would be weak after giving birth. Chu Tianbao thought of how she would be entering the gates of hell when giving birth, but he was unable to be around, he clenched his fists tightly, as if he wanted to crush himself.
Bai Wutong would tell that he was wavering between going or not and must be blaming herself. After all, she knew better than anyone how much Chu Tianbao looked forward to the birth of this child.
Cui Lingyi was going to make a piece of clothing for the baby. She also learned how to sew and even made a pair of cute tiger shoes for the baby in advance.
Bai Wutong did not want him to leave with worrying thoughts. She held his hand. ‘Mother has suffered for so long. It’s time to bring her back.”
“The child and I will be fine. Don’t worry, our family will definitely be together happily in the future.”
Chu Tianbao hugged her tightly again. All he could say was, “Wait for me to come back!”
How could Bai Wutong not want him to watch the child be born? However, there were always unstoppable things in life. As long as Chu Tianbao was fine, it was enough.
Since Chu Tianbao had already decided to leave, he had to leave as soon as possible.
Not long after, Bai Wutong hurriedly prepared all kinds of things for Chu Tianbao.
He was skilled in martial arts, but what if he encountered someone even more abnormal?
Emperor Linghui’s martial arts were not weak either. Moreover, there were still the eldest prince and his mother who wanted to get rid of Chu Tianbao.
Bai Wutong took out a silenced pistol and two shockingly lethal Thunder
Cannons from her space and asked Chu Tianbao to keep them for self-defense.
Chu Tianbao took the pistol and tested it in the forest. Finally, he asked, ‘Where did this come from?”
Bai Wutong thought that he would never ask in his life, and her eyes lit up. “My world.’
Chu Tianbao’s eyes widened. Before Bai Wutong could explain in more detail, he surrounded her again. “You won’t leave, right?’
He was extremely afraid. Bai Wutong was like the pistol in his hand that suddenly appeared and disappeared without a trace.
There were so many beautiful things in that world. He was also afraid that Bai Wutong would have the thought of leaving when he left.
At the thought that he would not be able to find Bai Wutong or the child when he returned, Chu Tianbao was about to break down..
