Wu Xuanji quickly half-knelt on the ground, "Your Highness, what are you talking about? Xuanji will die for you in this life! Why are you talking about inviting or not inviting? Just give me the order!"
An indescribable sadness surged in his heart, and he turned his head away so that King Yong would not see the expression on his face.
He clenched his fists tightly. How could he, a once powerful prince, be so cautious even when asking a subordinate to do something for him?
Prince Yong coughed and smiled faintly, "It is my honor to know you in this life. I just heard you say that her husband's family seems to have been exiled. I guess his husband's family should be preparing to rebel.
This kind of thing is very dangerous. If she is involved, it will be difficult for her to get out. I would like to ask you to help that child. Although she is not my child, I owe her mother a lot. Helping her can also make up for the guilt in my heart. "
Wu Xuanji was shocked by Prince Yong's keen political ability.
He only mentioned that Xie Ling's husband was exiled and that Madam An's family was taken away, but the prince was able to infer from these two pieces of information that the Gu family wanted to rebel!
If the prince had not been disabled, Wei Zhao would have unified the seven kingdoms and conquered the world long ago!
He responded loudly: "I will definitely get this done!"
"Come with me."
As Prince Yong spoke, he pushed his wheelchair in front.
After leaving the pear blossom courtyard, he came to a remote warehouse and took out a key from his sleeve, "Open this door."
Wu Xuanji called as he was told.
As soon as he opened the door, a strong smell of dust hit him. It was probably because he hadn't set foot here for many years. He coughed violently, pinched his nose and waved his hand.
"In the top drawer, there is a token. Take it down and give it to me."
Wu Xuanji followed King Yong's instructions and looked for what was in the drawer. His eyes widened and his hands trembled slightly.
He immediately turned around and shouted, "Changfeng Order? Your Majesty, is Changfeng Camp still there? Wasn't it disbanded that year?"
Although the Changfeng Camp has less than a hundred people, all of them are elite soldiers with unparalleled martial arts skills and all kinds of talents, and it is well-known among the seven countries.
King Yong shook his head, "No. It's just a trick. I'm disabled and can't lead the army. I'm afraid someone in the Seven Kingdoms will get jealous and cause trouble, so I lied and said it would be disbanded.
Take this token. If you need help getting to Changfeng Camp, go to Pengze Lake in Dongling State to find Mr. Wu Liu. He will gather everyone together."
Wu Xuanji held the Changfeng Order, his eyes reddened, and he said in a trembling voice: "My Lord, what virtue and ability do I have to earn your trust?"
Prince Yong patted him on the shoulder and said gently, "You have stayed in Beijiang for me for fourteen years. I have long regarded you as my confidant. I only hope that this Changfeng Order can help the child."
Wu Xuanji nodded heavily, "Your Majesty, I will definitely protect the An family and help the young lady!"
"I have no use for the treasures in the storehouse. Take as much as you can."
Prince Yong took out the key to the warehouse again.
Wu Xuanji shook his head, "Your Highness, this trip is too far. In order to conceal our whereabouts, I think it is better not to take the treasure with you."
Prince Yong sighed regretfully, "Okay."
Wu Xuanji sighed in his heart.
The prince is too deeply in love with Madam An.
He had kept the Changfeng Order hidden for more than ten years, and even the Crown Prince didn't know about it. Now he gave it directly to Xie Ling, a stranger who had no blood relationship with him!
There are also treasures in the warehouse. If possible, the prince would like him to move them all there!
After a long silence, Prince Yong slowly said, "Well, if possible, can you find an excuse to bring the child to me? I want to see if her child looks more like her or Xie Boyuan."
"The young lady naturally looks like Lady An! Your Majesty, if I have the chance, I will definitely bring her here!"
Wu Xuanji responded.
Prince Yong smiled faintly, and some sunshine finally came into his narrow eyes, as if he had expectations for the rest of his life.
I am too embarrassed to see her, but I am content just to see her children.
"Thanks."
Wu Xuanji sighed, "Then I will leave tonight? Your Majesty, you must take good care of yourself here, and I will bring you good news."
Prince Yong nodded gently, "Remember, don't reveal your identity. Let her hate me to the end. I have no face to see her in this life. I just hope she lives a smooth life."
Wu Xuanji wanted to say that since Madam An had already left Xie Boyuan, it might be possible for you two to be together.
But after looking at the prince's mask and the empty legs under his trousers, he swallowed the words back.
Your Majesty, maybe it’s because of your inferiority complex.
King Yong looked at Wu Xuanji's back as he walked away, and once again fell into memories with a sad look in his eyes.
Xiao Tao loved the handsome and elegant knight Chu Xiu.
Instead of now, the useless prince with crippled legs and disfigured face, Wei Xiuchu.
Whether physically or psychologically, he was too embarrassed to see her.
As the moonlight fell, Prince Yong took off his mask, revealing a face covered in burns.
Except for his eyes and chin, his entire face was covered with vine-like pitted scars, which looked ugly and scary.
The night wind blew through his silky long hair, and his figure gradually became blurred in the moonlight.
———
After hearing what Wei Wuji said, Wei Linglong ran back to the palace and returned to her own bedroom.
Sitting on the bed, hugging her legs, she finally couldn't hold it in anymore and burst into tears.
All the servants in the room knelt on the ground, confessing their crimes.
Wei Linglong's eyes were filled with tears, and she was crying breathlessly, "Get out! Everyone, get out!"
The palace maids and eunuchs walked out on their knees, trembling.
Wei Linglong wiped the tears from her face and walked towards the forbidden area of the imperial palace, Xiyue Palace.
