mtl008 Chapter 129 "Jiang Ci'an is the son of Princess Anguo."
Chapter 129 "Jiang Ci'an is the son of Princess Anguo."
"Changle, do you know that Emperor An is already over fifty years old, but has no children?"
Seeing Shen Changle nodded doubtfully.
Shen Changning continued:
"Jiang Ci'an is the son of the eldest princess of Anguo, and the only remaining bloodline of the Anguo royal family."
"What? This is impossible!"
Shen Changle was so surprised that he slammed the table and stood up.
Shen Changning was frightened and quickly stood up to support her and comfort her.
"You, don't be anxious, be careful of a miscarriage!"
"But, isn't Princess Anguo childless?"
It’s like this in both lives!
How, how could it be related to Jiang Ci'an?
"Please sit down first and speak slowly. If you want to know anything, your royal brother will tell you."
After helping her sit down, he finally put his mind at ease and explained her questions.
"Princess Anguo is indeed childless on the surface, but this is precisely because she gave birth to a child before marriage, which damaged her foundation."
"Having a child before marriage? My royal brother is saying that Jiang Ci'an is... an illegitimate child?"
"Ah."
Shen Changle still found it hard to believe and couldn't figure it out.
"But Jiang Ci'an told me that he had been wandering around since he was a child, suffered a lot, and was later expelled from the An Kingdom... Could it be that he lied to me?"
"No, I have verified all of this. According to spies, Princess Anguo secretly gave birth to a child in the palace and raised the child until he was five years old. When Emperor An discovered this, he had no choice but to abandon the child and marry him off."
"Abandoned?"
How could she have the heart to do that!
Shen Changle's heart softened just by imagining the little Jiang Ci'an...
How could she bear to abandon him?
Seeing Shen Changning nod, she asked again:
"Then, his father is..."
“Legend has it…that it was General Jiang Wen, the chief general of the An Kingdom, who never married.
But Jiang Wen didn't know about the illegitimate child until An Guo made the matter public;
Princess Anguo never admitted that he was the father of the child."
"so……"
Shen Changle stroked his lower abdomen with his eyebrows drooping.
There was also a hint of heartache in his tone.
"If Emperor An's sons hadn't died, they wouldn't have thought of looking for Jiang Ci'an, right?"
Shen Changning nodded.
I was a little nervous.
He didn't know that after telling her about this...
What choice would his most influential sister, the emperor, make...
Seeing the sadness on her face, he said softly:
"Actually, I was also surprised when I heard that Jiang Ci'an agreed to go into battle."
"Yes... This not only requires him to fight against his motherland, but also to go to war with his own biological father..."
Shen Changle kept his eyelids drooped and his tone of voice became indifferent.
Shen Changning was afraid that she would have wild thoughts, so he tried to calm her down.
"This shows that he really loves you!"
"Ah……"
She suddenly chuckled.
The corners of my eyes became moist.
"If he didn't love me, the emperor's uncle wouldn't use him like this."
She knew better than anyone Jiang Ci'an's hatred for war and his longing for his parents and family!
If the uncle hadn't forced their marriage...
She believed that he would never get involved in war or even become an enemy of his own father!
Jiang Ci'an agreed to go into battle, but she didn't know...
How much psychological preparation did he put in, and how long did it take him to convince himself!
She also understood...
Why does he always avoid talking about entering the Qi court!
He is from the Anguo royal family...
How can I enter the court of Qi?
He sighed softly and couldn't help laughing.
Seeing her like this, Shen Changning was frightened.
He held Shen Changle's cold hand and comforted her softly:
"The emperor's uncle is not using him. This is just his final test for him. The emperor's uncle has always been worried that between you and An Guo, he will choose the latter."
"is it?"
Shen Changle smiled with tears in her eyes, and looked up at him with a red nose.
"He even wanted to threaten Jiang Ci'an with the child in my belly! Is this a test or coercion?"
"This……"
Shen Changning was speechless.
He raised his big hands and wiped her tears.
"The Emperor's uncle has always put the country first. His methods may be a little extreme. Changle, don't blame him..."
"Oh, the country is the most important..."
She scoffed and tilted her head to avoid his hand.
"For the sake of Qi, can Jiang Ci'an be sacrificed? Jiang Ci'an is not from Qi! Besides..."
She paused, raised her hand to wipe away her tears, and tried hard to see Shen Changning's face clearly.
Hoarse voice accusing:
"Let's take a step back and say, even if Jiang Ci'an helped Qi defeat Yue, overthrow Lu Mingchao, and came back alive from the battlefield...
Will Anguo not come to find him and take him back to inherit the throne? What will we do then? Will my royal brother happily send me off to marry him?
Upon hearing this, Shen Changning frowned.
I thought to myself, impossible!
He would never let her go to another country!
What should I do if I’m bullied?
He only has this one sister!
In the past two months since he came to Yuanyang, he has been so worried that he can't sit still!
Not to mention marrying someone from another country, I won’t see you again in this life…
Looking at Shen Changning's expression, Shen Changle sneered:
"Look, my Royal Brother, this... is simply an unsolvable situation."
Rather than waiting for him to go to the battlefield, risking his life and then being separated from him...
It would be better not to let him go into battle in the first place!
This way, at least he is safe.
and……
In this way, he wouldn't be captured and taken back to Anguo.
She knew that he didn't want to go back to Anguo at all. He had sworn that!
He would rather be a bandit in Qi than return to Anguo to be the emperor...
The country that gave birth to him, abandoned him, and even expelled him...
It's completely rotten!
"Changle, don't think too much. Just be careful of the miscarriage. Let your brother think of a solution..."
"okay."
She suddenly perked up.
He raised his hand and wiped away the tears.
He stood up under Shen Changning's surprised gaze.
Holding onto the table, she smiled with tears in her eyes and said:
"Then please, my royal brother, think carefully about how to repel the enemy and win this battle on our own, rather than relying on an Anguo person."
"Uh, okay..."
"Changle is leaving."
She suddenly saluted, and Shen Changning was so scared that his legs went weak.
He quickly got up and followed her.
"Changle, please...please don't do anything stupid. You are my only sister..."
Shen Changle was speechless about his worry.
Even though she suffered such inhuman torture in her previous life, she did not commit suicide.
What does this little trouble in this life matter?
and……
This is the best choice for her!
She believes her baby will support her.
Turning around, he held Shen Changning's big hands with both hands, and comforted him with a forced smile:
My dear brother, go to bed early. We have to return to the capital in the morning."
"……Um."
Shen Changning was still worried, and sent her to the door with a heavy heart.
Outside the door, Jiang Ci'an was competing with Lu Mingchao.
As soon as he saw her coming out, he hurried forward to greet her.
Seeing that her eyes were red and swollen, her eyelashes were still wet, and she frowned nervously.
"Why are you crying?"
He held the person in his arms and looked at Shen Changning questioningly.
Shen Changning lowered his eyes, but only said one sentence:
"Take good care of her."
Jiang Ci'an didn't understand.
When he came to his senses, Changle had already broken free from his arms and left.
He glared at the culprit in confusion, then turned and quickly chased after him...
