Chapter 157 - 157: May he never wake up (1)
The Emperor had favored the first Prince, but he had never told anyone.
At that time, the first Prince had been by his side every day and had even asked the Grand tutor to guide him. At that time, he had been raised as the Crown Prince.
Later, noble consort Yun gave birth to Lu huaijiang.
Lu huaijiang had displayed extraordinary intelligence when he was only one or two years old. The intelligence he possessed made the first Prince’s hard work pale in comparison.
For a moment, it blocked all of the first Prince’s light.
Noble consort Lin’s maiden family was a family with great achievements and had deep roots in the capital. In the past few years, the great Zhou had been peaceful and prosperous, but the Emperor had begun to fear the power of the aristocratic families.
Noble consort Yun’s family background was low, and everything she had came from Lu huaijiang.
The Emperor knew his priorities.
He made Lu huaijiang the Crown Prince.
As Lu huaijiang grew, his violent Qi began to show. But his ability to rule the country made the Emperor feel ashamed.
Even the Il-year-old Lu huaijiang slowly made him a figurehead.
The Emperor felt a faint sense of danger.
Now that Lu huaijiang was unconscious, he actually had a moment to catch his breath.
“MV son. vou’ve been in the northernmost land for seven vears. right?” The Emperor suddenly asked. Noble consort Lin lowered her eyes slightly, her hands under her sleeves tightly pinching her flesh, which was slightly pale.
“Yes. It had been seven years. He had grown up from a teenager. This child had a kind heart and had subdued the bandits in Thule. Now, he was governing them well. A few days ago, he was thick-skinned and let chenqie find a group of scholars for him, saying that he would let them study and understand the reason. ”
“In the future, it will be easier for me to get a good name and work for great Zhou.”
The Emperor was overjoyed to hear this.
The Raiders in the extreme north brought a lot of hidden dangers to the great Zhou Dynasty. The poor and remote villages produced unruly people, and most of the people in the extreme north were foreigners.
If they were willing to receive education, then they could be assimilated into the culture bit by bit.
“Great,” The Emperor clapped his hands and laughed.
“The first Prince has done a great job in governing the northernmost area. He’s pregnant with Jiang’s serious illness, so let him return to the capital for the time being.” The Emperor waved his hand, and Noble consort Lin immediately wept with joy as she knelt on the ground and kowtowed to thank the Emperor.
When he raised his head, the Emperor had already walked far away.
The elderly lady behind her quickly helped the Imperial consort up. “Empress, you’ve finally managed to keep the clouds open and see the moon.” The nanny’s face was full of joy.
Noble consort Lin raised her head and looked in the direction of the Empress’s bedchamber, the gentleness and carefulness on her face gone. “Where is she? Are you still guarding Lu huaijiang these few days?”
“Yes,” the old woman nodded gently. However, that person’s condition isn’t good.”
Only then did Imperial consort Lin’s face reveal a smile. “Idiot, if it wasn’t for her son, would she be in her current position?”
A hint of jealousy flashed in her eyes.
“Without that son, she can’t do anything. The Crown Prince was conferred by His Majesty. Everything will be fine as long as Her Majesty is fine.” Noble consort Lin touched the bright red color on her nails. Who would have thought that all the civil and military officials in the court would be afraid of an eleven-year-old youth?
If he were to die, the capital would change.
She could only hope that he would really not wake up in these hundred days.
At this moment, the capital was in turmoil, but the barren city was peaceful and beautiful because of the appearance of the hall of salvation.
When Jiang huailu opened her eyes, ah Yin had already returned to the Wen family.
“Brother, why didn’t you stop her?” Jiang huailu’s hair was a mess, and even her chirpy hair drooped down.
“Why should I stop her? She had made old Mrs. Wen and her stepmother faint from anger. Now that there was no one in charge in the Wen family, old master Wen came to pick her up personally early in the morning. By the way, why does old master Wen call her ah Yin?” Jiang Huai ‘an asked in confusion. Jiang huailu’s face stiffened.. Did old master Wen know that he was ah Yin?
