Translator: 549690339
After the court conference, the contents of the eight-hundred-mile urgent Tang newspaper spread quickly.
Every official in the capital was spreading the news, but no one spoke in a low voice, behind closed doors. It spread in a Swift and oppressive manner.
Before this, in the layers of red walls of the Imperial Palace, in the jingxiu Palace where concubine Chen was.
Lin ‘an, who had a bright and brilliant appearance and charming eyes, had just finished paying his respects to his mother and stayed in the jingxiu Palace to accompany her and talk.
Consort Chen sipped her health tea and looked at her bright and charming daughter. She sighed.
“Wei Yuan’s expedition will be another huge reward. This Wei Yuan is your brother’s greatest threat to his position in the eastern Palace, but he’s also the crown prince’s most stable Foundation.”
Lin ‘an took a sip of tea, his small mouth stained with delicate moisture, but he did not respond.
As a Princess, she was obviously not qualified. However, she had been influenced by her mother and was not that bad. It was not difficult for her to understand what her mother meant.
There was no doubt that Wei Yuan supported the fourth prince, because he was a eunuch from the Phoenix resting palace.
However, Wei Yuan was also the crown prince’s most stable “Foundation.” His father was suspicious and Wei Yuan’s achievements were outstanding. Naturally, he couldn’t let the fourth prince be the Crown Prince.
“It would be great if Wei Yuan died on the battlefield,” concubine Chen sighed.
Hearing this, Lin an frowned. It wasn’t that she was unhappy with her mother cursing Wei Yuan, but she didn’t have any friendship with Wei Yuan.
She only felt that her mother’s tone and expression when she said this were hopeful and certain. Yes, certain.
It was as if he knew something, but he was a little nervous and uncertain before he could make a final conclusion.
The second Princess, who had an innocent and pure young girl, certainly did not have a deep level of observation. However, the woman in front of her was her birth mother and one of the people she was most familiar with.
As they were chatting, the light outside the door was blocked for a moment. The Crown Prince crossed the threshold and hurriedly entered, shouting, “”lmperial mother, Imperial mother ..
Lin ‘an turned his head and saw his brother enter the house. His expression was very complicated, excitement mixed with regret, joy mixed with sorrow. “Please have a seat, Crown Prince,” concubine Chen said with a smile.
He called the palace maid to make tea for the Crown Prince.
The Crown Prince waved his hand, indicating that he didn’t need it. He sent away the palace maids and sat down on a soft couch covered with bright yellow silk. After a long pause, he slowly said,
“Mother, Wei Yuan … He died in the northeast.”
The mother and daughter’s expressions froze at the same time. A few seconds later, they had completely different expressions.
Lin ‘an’s face was slightly pale, his shock mixed with confusion and worry.
Concubine Chen was ecstatic. The joy was so great that her body trembled, and so did her voice.”Really?”
The Crown Prince nodded and gave an affirmative answer, “”An urgent document arrived last night. This morning, his father had called for a court meeting to discuss this matter. The news of Wei Yuan’s death would soon spread throughout the capital. Out of 100000 soldiers, only 16000 were able to retreat. In this battle, my great Feng has suffered heavy losses.”
Concubine Chen’s excited face was flushed red. Even though her son and daughter had already grown up, she still had her unique charm and did not look old at all.
“As long as I can ascend the throne, what’s the point of the necessary sacrifices?” Concubine Chen said in a powerful voice.
It was as if he was educating the Crown Prince, but also as if he was comforting himself.
The Crown Prince nodded and sighed. Wei Yuan’s death was a pity. He had a strong sense of the big picture. I had hoped that he would accept reality and work for me after he ascended the throne.
There were only three people present who were related by blood, so the Crown Prince did not hold back his words.
“Crown Prince, your greatest flaw is that you like to indulge in whimsical fantasies and wish for the impossible.”
Concubine Chen rebuked. Her charming face revealed a smile, have your lunch at the jingxiu Palace and have a few drinks with mother. With Wei Yuan’s death, mother’s worries have finally been dispelled and she feels much more relaxed.
The Crown Prince also laughed. alright. Today, your son will accompany you to drink to your heart’s content.
Lin ‘an looked at them silently. Looking at the two people who were connected to her by blood, she suddenly felt a strong sadness.
This sorrow originated from their loneliness. The words they spoke, the things they did, the things they were happy about, the things they were angry about .. It was hard for her to gain recognition and empathy like before.
He didn’t know when, but he had already drifted further and further away from them.
He opened it and took a look. His expression changed immediately and he ran towards huaiqing’s bedroom.
At this moment, huaiqing had already woken up and was sitting in the outer room enjoying his breakfast. She looked at the guard Captain who had rushed over and stopped outside the door. She frowned and asked, “”What’s the matter?”
The guard Captain didn’t say anything. He stepped over the threshold and handed over the note in a trembling voice.
Huaiqing furrowed his brows in confusion as he took the note and read it.
Her beautiful face was slowly turning pale, and even her lips had lost their color.
After doing this for a long time, she suddenly woke up, as if she had remembered something, and cried out, ‘”Mother!”
Huaiqing quickly got up and ran out of the bedroom to the study. He pulled out a letter from a history book.
She kept the letter in her sleeve, lifted her skirt, and ran out of the study. The letter was given to her by Wei Yuan before he left for the battle.
“Give this letter to your mother at the right time.”
Back then, huaiqing didn’t understand what a suitable time was, but now, she did.
She had madly rushed all the way to Feng Qi Palace, the two Palace maids chasing behind her panting, holding her waist, her face pale, as if she was about to die..
