Watching Him Rise Up

Chen Ming'an was the Imperial Scholar whom Princess Ronghua, Zhu Huaizhen, had set her eyes on in the Golden Imperial Hall.

However, he refused the bestowed marriage, saying, "Your Hi...

Chapter 414 Imperial Tomb

"The imperial mausoleum? That's unlikely. My mother is also buried in the imperial mausoleum..." Chen Mingan shook his head slightly.

"Chen Ming'an, I think Princess Pingyang should not be buried in the imperial mausoleum." Zhu Huaizhen sighed lightly.

She had never found a suitable opportunity to talk to Chen Mingan about her doubts.

She was afraid that Chen Mingan would be impulsive and lose his temper for his mother.

"Then where is she buried?" Chen Ming'an roared, unable to control his grief and anger.

Later, he realized that he was angry at Zhu Huaizhen and felt very guilty.

"It should be the imperial palace." Zhu Huaizhen whispered.

In other words, Emperor Xuan of Yan kept the ashes of his sister, Princess Pingyang, with him.

"What does he mean?" Chen Ming'an sneered, his anger still lingering.

"Chen Mingan, do you want to hear the truth?" Zhu Huaizhen said slowly.

The truth hurts. I wonder if Chen Mingan can withstand the pain.

Alas, Zhu Huaizhen sometimes wondered why Princess Pingyang didn't lead the Mudan Army in rebellion. At least she could have saved Chen Ming'an. As for Emperor Xuan of Yan, Princess Pingyang probably had made protecting him a habit.

"Zhenzhen, I want to hear the truth. I'm not sure if what I'm thinking is right." Chen Mingan said with a wry smile.

That means Chen Mingan guessed it.

Chen Mingan is so wise, how could he not guess it?

"Emperor Xuan of Yan had complicated feelings towards Princess Pingyang. He hoped that his Princess Pingyang would be his wife, his lover, and his queen. So, he couldn't accept that his Princess Pingyang married into the Duke Dingguo's mansion and gave birth to you. Of course, he was also very jealous that Princess Pingyang commanded the Peony Army and was invincible. Princess Pingyang was more suitable to ascend the throne than Emperor Xuan of Yan, but Princess Pingyang would not dream of Emperor Xuan of Yan being her lover. Therefore, Princess Pingyang had only two endings. One was to seek death and cut off Emperor Xuan of Yan's thoughts, and the other was to kill Emperor Xuan of Yan and take his place. Princess Pingyang was not without ambition, but she was reluctant to part with Emperor Xuan of Yan. She regarded Emperor Xuan of Yan as her brother, her relative, someone she must do her best to protect." Zhu Huaizhen told the story with tears in his eyes.

Tell me, why are there such foolish women in this world?

But Zhu Huaizhen was moved by her and shed tears for her.

However, Zhu Huaizhen would never be so foolish in his life.

After hearing this, Chen Mingan clenched his fists and then unclenched them, then clenched them again, feeling extremely depressed.

Seeing this, Zhu Huaizhen took the initiative to make Taoyao tea.

Take the peach blossoms on the third day of March and the white dew on the third day of September, and set out a set of tea-making utensils including a copper wind stove, willow charcoal, wrought iron fire tongs, small green bamboo clips, locust wood water cubes, and Yuezhou jade bowls, and wait for the first boil to produce small bubbles, the second boil to produce gushing springs, and the third boil to produce surging waves.

Oh, it’s too troublesome to make tea. Zhu Huai is really lazy.

Chen Mingan sipped the Taoyao tea and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

"Zhenzhen, why is it the imperial tomb?" Chen Mingan was finally willing to move on to another topic.

"Emperor Xuan of Yan believes that it is the Southern Yan royal family's fault that he has become so disgusting. If he had not been born in the Southern Yan royal family, he could have lived an ordinary life with Princess Pingyang, and perhaps he would not have had delusions. Therefore, he wants all the emperors of Southern Yan to have their bodies destroyed and never be reborn." Zhu Huaizhen said in a deep voice.

This is just speculation and remains to be verified.

"Zhenzhen, leave it to me. I have accompanied my mother to the imperial mausoleum many times. My mother said that our great-grandfather was not a good father, but he was a good emperor who worked hard to govern the country." Chen Mingan stood up and hugged Zhu Huaizhen.

"Ming'an, go early and come back early." Zhu Huaizhen smiled like a flower, his eyes moving.

After saying this, Chen Mingan was secretly moved. He felt that someone was waiting for him at home, even though he had no close relatives.
