Chapter 204 The Most Honorable Position

As I laughed, tears suddenly flowed out.

Everyone looked at him in surprise, not understanding why he was crying.

General Ning Yuan wiped the tears from his eyes, smiled and said to Feng Shang, "I have known your mother when we were young, and she saved my life back then. Unfortunately, when you and your son got into trouble, I was sent out on a mission by Emperor Ming. When I came back, I heard the news that your mother died giving birth to you, and you were missing! For this reason, I cursed Emperor Ming in anger, and he was furious. He demoted me to Sifang City and never summoned me without an imperial decree. I could never return to Beijing in this lifetime! I originally thought that you and your son were both dead, but I didn't expect you to have grown up. That's great, that's great!" "My mother didn't die in childbirth." When Feng Shang said this, undercurrents surged in his bloodshot eyes.

"What?" General Ning Yuan was extremely shocked.

"Over the years, I've been collecting information from back then. My mother was quite skilled in martial arts and even frequently competed in combat while pregnant with me. How could she have suddenly suffered a difficult labor? Someone must have tampered with her food!"

"That must have been that old woman, Imperial Concubine Lan! She was jealous of your mother's favor and her pregnancy with a Qilin child, so she didn't hesitate to take such ruthless action! Especially that idiotic Imperial Master, who declared you a curse! Pah! The Ming Dynasty has existed for over eight hundred years, a nation strong and prosperous, a time of peace and prosperity. Yet they're afraid of a newborn child! Only your father, that incompetent emperor, would believe such talk!"

Feng Shang remained silent about Emperor Ming. To be his father? He wasn't worthy!

General Ning Yuan's expression suddenly changed. "Oh, right? In recent years, a group of people have come from the capital every year, claiming to be on patrol under imperial orders to investigate and identify important imperial criminals hiding among the mortal world. Could it be that they are here to capture you?"

Feng Shang nodded, a cold smile on his face. "Back then, they tried to harm me time and time again. In the end, when I failed to die, they sent people to throw me to a small town on the border, hoping to let me fend for myself. Unexpectedly, I survived again and became a headache for them!"

So, they set up a tight net and sent their most elite guards to assassinate him!

"It's really hard for you." General Ning Yuan looked distressed. "No wonder those people in the prison today called you a monster. What are your plans for the future? Are you going to hide like this for the rest of your life, or..."

"Avenge my mother. Return all the bad reputation they have framed on me and all the harm they have caused me over the years!" Feng Shang's voice was cold and without a trace of warmth.

"So, General Uncle, after you know Brother Feng's choice, will you stand on his side?" Bai Yaoyao asked immediately.

General Ning Yuan walked over to Bai Yaoyao and picked up the little girl. "If I hadn't stood on your side, do you think you would have come back when I heard the word 'Your Highness'?"

"Uncle General, you are so nice!" Bai Yaoyao immediately gave him a good guy card.

General Ning Yuan smiled, then raised his head. When he looked at Feng Shang, his expression suddenly became solemn and serious. "I have seen the other six princes in front of Emperor Ming. They are not talented enough to be emperors and are not capable of shouldering such a heavy responsibility! Since you have chosen to avenge your mother and live an upright life in the sunshine, why not run towards that most honorable position!"

The most honorable position is that of the emperor.

All along, Feng Shang only thought about revenge. As for what to do after revenge, he had never thought about it, let alone becoming an emperor.
