Chapter Thirty
The emperor has become more and more wary of Shangguan Mansion recently. Shangguan Qianhe originally planned to resign and return to his hometown after the smallpox incident in the mansion passed. Perhaps this would leave a chance to save his life.
Accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger. Since ancient times, the most feared thing for a minister is to have great achievements and shock the master. Now, Wanyue allows a strange beast to recognize her master, which is probably a thorn in the flesh in the eyes of the emperor.
"Dad, are you afraid that the emperor will worry about the Shangguan family from now on?"
"It's not from now on, I'm afraid I'm worried now." The general sighed deeply. His health has been getting worse and worse recently, and old injuries from his adult life often recur.
Hearing this, Mingge asked worriedly, "What should I do, dad?"
The general patted Mingge's hand and said, "Don't worry, it will straighten if you hit the bow of the ship. Dad has his own way."
When Chen Chen heard this, he was very worried. How could the general not know what she was thinking even if she could detect it.
"Mingge, please go back to your room first and have a good rest. I have something to explain to your sister."
"Dad~~" Mingge heard this, how could he be willing to obey?
"obedient"
"Okay." Mingge was very reluctant, but she also knew her father's temperament, so she had no choice but to walk out slowly.
As soon as Ming Ge left, Chen Chen and the general were the only two people left in the room. This was the first time that Chen Chen was alone with the general, and the atmosphere in the room was a bit solemn. She didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Does your head still hurt?" the general asked with concern, thinking of the injury on Wanyue's head.
"I've already asked Xiaocui to apply medicine, it should be fine."
"That's good. Autumn is more than half over. You can see the leaves outside the window have almost fallen."
"Dad, what do you want to say to Wanyue? Just say it directly." Chen Chen knew that his father had something to tell him, otherwise he wouldn't have left him alone here.
After Chen Chen finished speaking, the general turned his back to Chen Chen. He looked at Chen Chen kindly and said, "Yue'er, next year you will have your hair on your temples, right?" The general rarely calls Chen Chen "Yue" like the eldest lady.
Son, I don’t know why, but hearing the general calling him this, Chen Chen felt bitter in his heart. He has never been a sad woman who feels sad about spring and autumn. For some reason, his tear glands have become extremely developed recently.
"Daddy remembers it well. Next autumn and winter, the moon will reach the temples."
"Very good." The general looked at Chen Chen lovingly.
"Do you like the third prince very much?"
Are you finally going to ask this question? Chen Chen's heart felt like a knife.
Seeing Chen Chen like this, the general seemed to know. This child has been through a lot these days. He almost lost half his life due to illness. He finally recovered a little and was pushed into the pool by Ming Ge because he was ignorant. Today he almost lost his life again.
General Min tightened his lips, and the lines on his face were stiff.
Chen Chen felt very sad and said, "Dad, no matter what happens, Wanyue will always consider the interests of the Shangguan family first."
Hearing this, the general was very pleased, "I know that my father is sorry for saying this to you, and it also violated the promise he made to you at that time, but now the situation in the court is strange and changeable. The fights between the princes are becoming more and more fierce. If at this time
, if you marry the third prince, I'm afraid it will bring endless suffering to the Shangguan family. Dad is in charge of a hundred thousand troops, and the emperor is already very jealous, and now there is a traitor who is flattering him in front of the emperor. At this juncture, you
I have regained Suanni again. I am afraid that even if my father wants to resign, the emperor will not agree."
"Dad, do you want to resign?" Chen Chen asked in surprise.
"Don't talk about it now. I have something to discuss with you when I return home this time. My father has led soldiers and fought in wars for decades, and he will never misjudge the wrong person. Although you are young, you are steady in doing things, and you are calm when encountering difficulties.
Careful, fearless in the face of danger. More importantly, you are kind-hearted. Dad trusts you very much, so I leave this in your hands. If there is an accident in the future, you must not take care of us. Take this to Yunguo to find your Uncle Wenchang.
, he is father’s sworn brother and will definitely take good care of you.” After the general finished speaking, he forced the thing in his hand into Chen Chen’s heart.
Chen Chen looked down and saw a cyan token lying in his hand.
"Yue'er, you must keep this token safe. It allows you to enter and leave unhindered at the border. If you want to go to Yun Country, you must need it."
"Daddy..." Chen Chen shouted in pain
"Don't be anxious, things may not happen yet. Dad is just doing this just in case."
"Wanyue knows that Wanyue will take good care of it. There is another thing that Wanyue has always wanted to tell you, daddy. But daddy is not in the house, and the matter is of great importance. Wanyue does not dare to talk nonsense easily."
"Oh? What's that?" the general asked in confusion.
"It's about the second aunt, that day..." Chen Chen was about to tell the general about the matter, when suddenly there was a big commotion outside, and there were some faint flashes of fire.
