What is all this nonsense?
Wasn't his aunt brought back from the battlefield by General Su? Because she was an orphan, General Su asked his father to take her in as his adopted sister.
How could my aunt be the Empress of Western Liang?
Was the Empress of Western Liang an orphan? Why did she need her father to take her in as an adopted sister?
Leaving aside Mu Lingchen, Bai Ying and Ling Lang were both shocked by Xuan Yuanzhan's words.
What's going on?
Is Your Highness referring to the Princess?
Was the princess's mother the Empress of Western Liang?
How could they not remember that the princess's father was General Su, who guarded the frontier and died for his country? Her mother was the Empress of Western Liang.
Did General Su marry the Empress of Western Liang?
This is a marriage alliance between two countries, right? How come they had never heard of such a big thing before?
Xuan Yuanzhan had indeed not told Mu Lingchen about Ning'er's mother.
The main reason was that they themselves weren't sure beforehand; everything was just his and Ning'er's guesses. Even the secret guards he sent to Xiliang to investigate couldn't find anything, so he naturally couldn't talk about such uncertain things.
Even Mu Lingchen is the same.
However, now that the matter is settled and Mu Lingchen already knows, he no longer intends to hide it from him. Xuan Yuanzhan told Mu Lingchen about his and Ning'er's previous speculations and some things about Mu Junyu.
Mu Lingchen frowned deeply after hearing this.
He never expected that so many things would happen to his aunt.
It turns out that my aunt had lost her memory and didn't remember that she was the Empress of Western Liang, which is why she was taken back to Eastern Chu by General Su.
My aunt lost her memory for twenty years. She wasn't with any coachman or private soldiers before, but was imprisoned by Su Huiyan and Su Renyi. My aunt suffered a lot of torture because they wanted the Su family army's military token in her possession!
Later, Su Renyi forced her to jump off a cliff, but she unexpectedly regained her memory and remembered that she was the Empress of Xiliang. She then summoned the Vermilion Bird Divine Beast, which brought her back to Xiliang.
However, even if my aunt is the Empress of Xiliang, having been missing for twenty years, her return to Xiliang would likely be a thorny path.
My aunt has really had a tough time.
Bai Ying and Ling Lang never expected to hear so much about the Empress of Xiliang.
Listening to the prince recount these events was like listening to a legend. The story of the Western Liang Empress was truly dramatic; no one could have imagined that she would have such an extraordinary experience.
What surprised them even more was that the prince married the princess of Xiliang.
Xiliang is a matriarchal society. If the Empress of Xiliang married General Su when she was very young and stayed in Dongchu for twenty years, then their queen would probably be the only princess. So, their queen would probably inherit the throne of Xiliang in the future!
Eh...
If Your Highness wins this battle, you should be able to ascend the throne of Eastern Chu. Will you be able to bring the Princess back then?
If the prince didn't care about the princess, that would be one thing. Even if the princess became the empress of Xiliang, the prince could remarry and take concubines after becoming emperor. But judging from how much the prince values the princess, it seems he can't live without her.
If this princess becomes the Empress of Western Liang, what will the prince use to bring her back?
After hearing Mu Junyu's true identity, everyone's thoughts may have gradually become a little distorted.
They haven't even finished what they're currently dealing with, and they're already thinking about the future.
Mu Lingchen read the letter several times, noticing the mention of the Cold Palace and premature birth. He frowned and said to Xuan Yuanzhan, "Aunt Bai's letter said that Cousin Ning'er was indeed imprisoned in the Cold Palace before, and she also had a premature birth, so she must have had a difficult delivery. This is highly consistent with the dream you had!"
This is just too amazing!
Xuanyuan Zhan's dream was surprisingly accurate!
Speaking of this, those dreams flashed through Xuan Yuanzhan's mind again, and his heart began to ache again. He could no longer laugh. He took the letter and carefully put it away.
Mu Lingchen could tell from Xuan Yuanzhan's expression that he was starting to feel sorry for his cousin Ning'er again. Realizing that he had said the wrong thing, Mu Lingchen quickly comforted him, "But your dream wasn't very accurate. Cousin Ning'er and her baby are both safe and sound. Although they may have suffered a bit, they are both fine!"
Xuanyuan Zhan nodded silently.
This is probably what makes him most gratified.
Although I couldn't get back in time to save Ning'er or be there for her during childbirth, thankfully both Ning'er and her baby turned out well in the end.
"Now that Aunt Bai and Cousin Ning'er are in Xiliang, do you not need to go back to the capital?" Mu Lingchen asked again.
"Yes, we won't go back for now. We'll continue leading everyone in battle!"
Xuanyuan Zhan originally wanted to go back to save his mother and Ning'er, but now that they are safe, he doesn't need to go back for the time being.
Mu Lingchen breathed a sigh of relief when Xuan Yuanzhan didn't leave.
To be honest, it wasn't that he couldn't lead this army, it was that he was under too much pressure. Now that Xuanyuan Zhan isn't leaving, that's great!
"But shouldn't you write back to Aunt Bai and Cousin Ning'er, and tell them about our situation here, so they won't worry about us anymore!"
Especially since my cousin Ning'er just gave birth, she shouldn't be thinking too much during her postpartum period.
These words were like a wake-up call. Xuan Yuanzhan slapped his forehead and exclaimed, "How could I forget to reply?"
Mu Lingchen chuckled: "You must be overjoyed to have a son!"
I never would have guessed that!
Xuanyuan Zhan waved to Mu Lingchen and Bai Ying and said, "You all go and rest. I'll write a letter back to my mother and Ning'er."
"Yes," the group replied and went to rest.
Xuanyuan Zhan sat down under the tree and found paper and pen to write letters to Su Xuening and Bai Shi.
Throughout the letter, Xuan Yuanzhan only reported good news and not bad news. He recounted how they defeated the Northern Rong, Tuoba Xiong surrendered, captured Long Jiaojiao, and conquered cities and territories all the way to Dingjiang City. Moreover, the letter was full of confidence in entering the capital and also described his plans after entering the capital.
The letter also thanked Pei Luo and the others for helping Su Xuening with her childbirth, and thanked Mu Junyu for taking in Bai Shi and Su Xuening.
Not feeling that writing to Xuan Yuanzhan was enough, he wrote a separate, intimate letter to Su Xuening.
The letter expressed his longing for Su Xuening, his heartache for her difficult journey in Kyoto and the hardships she endured during childbirth, and his self-blame and shame for not being able to go back to save her or be there for her during childbirth.
The letter did not mention the child, but only drew a small footprint at the end to show her love for her son.
After finishing writing the letters, Xuanyuan Zhan whistled again, summoning the letter owl, and placed both letters into the small bamboo tube on the owl's leg.
Xuanyuan Zhan wrapped the letter for everyone else in the same bag as the letter for Su Xuening, just in case someone else read it.
After releasing the letter, Xuanyuan Zhan released the letter owl!
Watching the owl fly into the night sky, Xuan Yuanzhan couldn't help but miss Su Xuening again.
Once this battle is over, he will go to Xiliang to bring them back to Dongchu!
