Chapter 334 No Idea Deep
Tomorrow Ji Ping and Tan Feng will escort Princess Nanyang and the Crown Prince to meet King Nanyang. I hope everything goes well.
The King of Nanyang is indeed at the end of his strength, or is just barely surviving.
In fact, when Lu Chenyang arrived at Yanhui Pass, he was still watching because he knew that Lu Chenyang didn't have the time to deal with him. He originally thought that Lu Chenyang's attention was focused on retaking Yanhui Pass and would not pay attention to him, but he didn't expect that Lu Chenyang would retake Yanhui Pass in just one year.
Now Lu Chenyang has time to deal with him.
Ever since Lu Chenyang recaptured Yanhui Pass, he had already started planning to escape. But where to go was a problem, with so many people around.
If it weren't for Lu Chenyang, he would actually be willing to stay here.
It was a beautiful, ordinary morning, and Prince Nanyang was basking in the sun in the courtyard. His health had been poor over the past two years, and he could clearly feel the fatigue, which was why he had been so law-abiding these past few years.
The guards ran in from outside: "It's bad, it's bad, Your Majesty, it's bad."
After all, the Prince of Nanyang was a prince, and he remained as still as a mountain. He said calmly, "Why are you panicking? There's nothing profound about it. The sky isn't falling, and Lu Chenyang isn't here. What's the big deal?"
"Here they come." said the guard.
Prince Nanyang suddenly opened his eyes: "Lu Chenyang is here?"
"That's not the case. It's the prince and princess who are here." The guard said again.
The King of Nanyang breathed a sigh of relief. One was his wife, the other was his son. What was there to be afraid of? The King of Nanyang glared at him.
"Come on, why are you panicking?" King Nanyang shouted angrily.
A quarter of an hour later, when King Nanyang saw Tan Feng and Ji Ping escorting his wife and son into the city, he wished he could kill the guard.
He didn't mention that these two came along! Who is Ji Ping? He is a general under Lu Chenyang, brave and skilled in battle, and highly regarded by Lu Chenyang.
Tan Feng is Lu Chenyang's personal bodyguard and confidant, and he holds an extraordinary position in the Lu family army.
These two people came together, and there was a large army behind them. King Nanyang had a dull look on his face. He looked up at the sky and couldn't help feeling a little sad.
Princess Nanyang and Prince Nanyang got off the carriage. The three of them hadn't seen each other for many years and looked at each other in silence.
Princess Nanyang hated the King of Nanyang for favoring his concubine over his wife, and she had no good attitude towards him, and the Crown Prince naturally did the same.
King Nanyang opened his mouth and said, "You were bribed by Lu Chenyang. Are you going to become my enemy?"
Princess Nanyang was furious and was about to speak when the Crown Prince of Nanyang said, "Your Highness, you misunderstood. Lord Lu is kind and generous. He heard that your Highness was unwell, so he allowed us to visit. Your Highness made a serious mistake, but Lord Lu did not vent his anger on us. Your Highness, Lord Lu is now at the peak of his career, and you are not in good health. It is best for you to enjoy your retirement."
The King of Nanyang sneered, "My health is very good, there is no need for you, an unfilial son, to worry about me."
Princess Nanyang already disliked Prince Nanyang, and now that he was talking about his son, it was even worse.
Princess Nanyang sneered, "If you want someone to be a filial son, then you should also be a loving father. How can a son be filial if his father isn't loving? This beast knows to protect his young, but some people abandon their wives and children. Now you have the nerve to accuse your child of being unfilial? You're truly two-faced, disgusting!" After a pause, she raised her voice, "How is my son unfilial? He's incredibly filial. He knew you were dying, yet he traveled a long way to share your worries. Your Highness, please don't let this child down."
Prince of Nanyang: “…”
Prince Nanyang's face flushed with anger. They had been married for over twenty years, and although Princess Nanyang came from a prominent family and had always been elegant and noble, this was the first time she had spoken so harshly to him. Even when he was doting on Concubine Cui, she had never argued with him.
King Nanyang couldn't believe it, as if he didn't recognize his first wife.
Princess Nanyang said, "Your Highness, please don't wait any longer. Hand over the tiger talisman." She named a few people, "They are the elders who have served you. They are not young anymore, and they are injured and sick. It's time for them to spend their remaining years with you."
Prince Nanyang: "How dare you! What do you want to do? Are you planning a rebellion?"
Princess Nanyang sneered: "Rebellion? Isn't that what the prince does? Oh, yes, it hasn't succeeded yet."
Only a married couple knows how to hurt each other.
Prince Nanyang clutched his chest, feeling a sharp pain in his heart. "You fierce woman! I'm your husband. How dare you talk to your husband like that? Believe it or not, I'll divorce you!"
Princess Nanyang said nonchalantly, "Divorce? Your Highness is guilty of treason, and the cavalry is guilty of rebellion. This is disloyalty! How can such a traitor be worthy of being my husband?! But my son is the eldest grandson of your Zhang family, and he should inherit the family business."
Why did Princess Nanyang come? Because she had the confidence to confront the King of Nanyang. The King of Nanyang favored his concubine over his wife, and over the years, the love between them had long since worn away. Princess Nanyang was not afraid of a falling out with him, but she had to pave the way for her son.
After all, the Crown Prince of Nanyang was his son. If he disobeyed the Prince of Nanyang, it would be unfilial. This status would disadvantage the Crown Prince of Nanyang. The Princess of Nanyang had no such concerns. She had already risked being divorced, so what else was there to fear? For her son, she would do anything!
Ji Ping stepped forward and said lazily, "The princess is beautiful and intelligent, virtuous and kind. The prince is a traitor who favors his concubine over his wife. How can he divorce her? He should be divorced peacefully."
Prince Nanyang glared at him and said, "It is not your turn to meddle in my family affairs."
The soldiers behind Ji Ping suddenly looked fierce.
King Nanyang was silent for a moment.
Actually, one thing is true, his health is indeed not as good as before.
Since the defeat, his health has been deteriorating. He seems to know that his goal is impossible to achieve, and he is depressed and unable to express himself, which naturally makes his health worse.
King Nanyang looked at his son. The boy's eyes were full of alienation and indifference, and he couldn't help feeling discouraged.
He had many children, but in the end, they all drifted away from him. He had always neglected this legitimate son, believing him to be too weak. Yet, this same weak-willed son was now about to take over his army.
And there was the concubine's daughter whom he didn't value. He always thought his daughter was useless, but now she has become the master of Lingnan.
He looked down on Lu Chenyang, a mere scholar, and despised him, but was ultimately defeated by him, and his ambitions were dashed.
He seemed to have made mistakes all his life, losing his wife, children, and status.
Now he only has the military power of Nanyang Army in his hands, and he can't even keep this.
