Chapter 454 The Prince's Concern
"This......"
With the help of Master Mingze's words, many ministers have already leaned towards Xia Ning and started to support him.
Just as the people of Yu Shitai were about to speak again, the Great Chu Emperor interrupted the discussion and said, "Okay."
Just two words are enough to show the majesty of the Emperor of Great Chu.
"I have also thought about this carefully, and my thoughts agree with Xia Ning's."
"Since Master Mingze said that Princess Yong'an's blessing can defend our borders, I am willing to send Song Qingyan to lead the troops."
"Father!" The prince was the first to speak up to stop him.
He didn't think too much about it, but in his mind, swords are merciless on the battlefield, and even if his aunt is experienced, accidents can still happen.
His mother was already gone, and he absolutely could not afford to lose his aunt again.
The same is true for my grandparents. Now my aunt is their only daughter. If something unexpected really happened to her, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to bear it.
The Emperor of Great Chu naturally knew that the Crown Prince was concerned about Song Qingyan's safety.
But I have carefully considered this matter, and Qingyan has argued for it herself.
Once you have made a decision, you should never allow others to question it.
"Do you have any opinions, ministers?" The Great Chu Emperor's eyes swept across the entire room, making people feel terrified.
The Emperor of Chu during this period was always gentle and soft-spoken, which made everyone forget the violent Emperor of Chu in the past.
Seeing that the Emperor of Great Chu had already made his decision, everyone was in no position to contradict His Majesty and could only kneel down and shout "Long live the Emperor" three times.
The matter was settled. As soon as the morning court was over, the prince ran to Qingyun Palace with a heavy heart.
When he arrived, he just talked about other things: "Aunt, how is grandpa?"
[Mother, it looks like the prince is worried! ]
[Did you have a quarrel with Miss Han? That won’t do. You two are getting married.]
[Now my mother and I are about to leave Beijing, you all must be well. ]
[When we start fighting outside, we won’t be able to take care of you.]
Song Qingyan couldn't help laughing at Lu Xingwan's speech in such an adult manner.
Although Master Mingze's words gave her hope, things have not been finalized yet and she is not sure.
There is still a lot of prejudice against women in this era. Now that I am married, it is too difficult for me to leave the capital.
Seeing that Song Qingyan remained silent, the prince raised his head, only to see his aunt looking at him inquiringly.
Then he smiled helplessly: "Auntie figured it out?"
Song Qingyan nodded: "I can see that you are worried, but I don't know why."
"Wanwan, Wanwan." Lu Xingwan was not idle either. She pointed at herself and widened her eyes.
【Wanwan also knows it! 】
[I'm afraid that the prince will carve the four characters "I have something on my mind" on his face. 】
[Also, my mother has told the prince many times about my grandfather's poisoning, but he still keeps asking about it!]
[Looks absent-minded.]
"Aunt, my father told you to lead the troops in the western camp." The prince hesitated for a moment and finally couldn't help but tell the truth, "It was Lord Xia's suggestion."
"And the emperor has already made a decision. I'm afraid an imperial decree will be issued soon."
When the prince said this, he was filled with disappointment: "Aunt, I'm worried..."
The prince didn't say the rest.
"Wow!" Lu Xingwan suddenly stood up, which scared the prince.
[I didn't expect that my father actually agreed. This old charlatan is really capable! ]
[Pooh, pooh, pooh, Master Mingze is not an old charlatan, Master Mingze is an old immortal. 】
[If he hadn't come forward, I'm afraid my father wouldn't have agreed. ]
Seeing Lu Xingwan's excited look, the prince began to doubt himself: "What is this, Wanwan?"
"You can see it," Song Qingyan finally explained, "Wanwan also longs to go to the Western Camp to play."
A fairy like Wanwan shouldn't be trapped in this deep palace.
She should have seen more of the beautiful world outside.
Seeing that the prince was still uneasy, Song Qingyan stepped forward and patted him: "Don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Wanwan and myself when I go there."
"I have been in the Western Camp for many years, so I am sure I am more familiar with it than you are."
Song Qingyan said many words to comfort the prince.
Seeing that the prince's expression gradually eased, Song Qingyan started to talk about business: "If His Majesty really sends my aunt, I'm afraid I won't be able to attend your wedding banquet."
"I'm afraid your father-in-law won't be able to come back. Your Lady Lan will take care of this matter, so just rest assured."
Seeing that the prince was still worried, Song Qingyan stood up and said sternly, "Jin Yao, you are going to be the emperor in the future, so you must not get so entangled in trivial matters."
"You must understand that the Song family is a family of military commanders, and it is their duty to sacrifice their lives for the country."
"Now the world is at peace, and your grandfather can retire safely, but in the future, both your uncle and Song Zhuo may die on the battlefield."
"It's not wrong for you to be sad, but you must not avoid seeing a doctor because of something like this."
"Do you understand?"
Song Qingyan has always been kind and cheerful in front of the prince. It is very rare to see her speaking so harshly now.
The prince even froze in place.
Perhaps it was because of his personality, even his father rarely got angry with him, so his aunt's sudden behavior made him unable to react well.
He lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and finally figured it out. He stood up and said, "Aunt, you are right. I understand."
"Since Aunt is going to the war, I can only wish her a triumphant return."
At this point, the prince finally laughed and even teased Lu Xingwan who was standing beside him: "Wanwan also wants to return triumphantly, okay?"
"Yeah!" Lu Xingwan nodded heavily, his eyes full of joy.
[Mother looked so handsome just now.]
[I have already thought of my mother's heroic figure commanding thousands of troops on the battlefield.]
[I suddenly felt that this kind of mother was the Concubine Chen that I had imagined, and the one in the palace before seemed like a mask that my mother had put on herself.]
Hearing Lu Xingwan's praise for her, Song Qingyan couldn't help but feel secretly happy.
The prince was right. Not long after he left, the Emperor of Great Chu came with Meng Quande, and of course, brought an imperial edict with him.
"Qingyan." The Emperor of Great Chu held Song Qingyan's hand and was about to say something when he was interrupted by Song Qingyan.
"Your Majesty, I know everything." Song Qingyan wanted to talk to His Majesty about the Crown Prince's attitude towards this matter, so she didn't mind telling him about it. "The Crown Prince has been here."
"The prince is not in a good mood because he is worried about my fate."
