Before the messenger could finish speaking, General Hua fainted. He understood all too well what it meant: his only son was dead.
Ye Chenzhou immediately ordered someone to take General Hua away and have the imperial physician examine him.
At the same time, let the messenger continue speaking.
The messenger lowered his head and continued to report: "The Crown Princess of the Kingdom has a child who is a little over one year old. She says he is the child of the young general, but we do not know if this is true or not. He is on his way back now. We do not know what Your Majesty intends to do with him."
"We'll wait for the child to return so the imperial physician can examine him. If he really is the young general's child, it will be good to leave General Hua with something to remember him by."
At the same time, Hua Xun conquered the Chao Kingdom and has now died in battle. Ye Chenzhou will give him the utmost respect by bestowing upon him the title of Marquis. If the child is his biological son, the child will have the right to inherit.
…
After finishing his business, Ye Chenzhou returned to his residence. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Wan Ge playing with the children.
Ye Chenzhou walked to the side of his beloved. Thinking of their past emotional entanglements, he hesitated for a moment before speaking cautiously.
When Wan Ge learned of Hua Xun's death, she was somewhat surprised. After all, he was the male lead. Although the male lead aura had already disappeared, he was still the male lead no matter what. But now he was dead.
However, after learning the whole story, I felt that the other party deserved to die this time. After all, in the original story, everything he did can now be considered atoning for his sins.
Looking at his lover's relatively calm demeanor, Ye Chenzhou asked softly, "Aren't you sad?"
Wan Ge looked up at her husband in surprise: "Should I be sad?"
The person who likes Hua Xun isn't her, so why should he be sad?
A man who could abandon his family and his country has now died a worthy death.
He died a rather dignified death, sacrificing himself for his country. Those who don't know the truth, even if they know he had some flaws, can easily overlook them; many will surely see him as a hero. His death is somewhat too lenient for him.
Rather than worrying about Hua Xun, Wan Ge was more concerned about: "How is General Hua?"
Although she had no further relationship with Hua Xun, General Hua and Madam Hua took good care of her.
Ye Chenzhou then mentioned that Yan Xiao had left Hua Xun with a child, and he felt that the child was most likely her biological child.
Wan Ge nodded as well. It seemed normal that the female lead had left the male lead with a child.
Wan Ge also inquired about Yan Xiao's situation, and Ye Chenzhou replied, "According to the information we received, the Crown Prince of Chao Kingdom probably realized that he had no hope before launching a counterattack, so he sent his Crown Princess to the Yellow Springs ahead of time."
The child was saved because Yan Xiao had made preparations beforehand and arranged for the child to be sent away. Naturally, the child was sent to the hands of the Ye people.
Wan Ge sighed helplessly: "Does the Crown Prince of Chao know that he has been raising other people's children?"
“He knew.” Ye Chenzhou’s emotions were somewhat complicated as he spoke of this: “It is said that the Crown Prince and Crown Princess of the Chao Kingdom were childhood sweethearts. The Crown Prince loved his Crown Princess very much, so even though he knew the child was not his, he was willing to raise it.”
When Wan Ge heard this answer, she was momentarily speechless, unsure of how to evaluate the Crown Prince. She decided it was best not to comment on other people's affairs.
After General Hua woke up, he heard that he had a grandson.
When he saw the child, he knew that the child was his grandson, because he looked so much like his son when he was a child, almost exactly the same.
The child was only one year old and didn't understand anything, so he didn't have many memories of it.
After the family reunion, the child was placed in General Hua's care. However, at this time, General Hua expressed his desire to retire from the military and return to his hometown.
Now there are no more debts to settle, and the remaining few small countries are not a threat. It's fine if we don't need him.
Moreover, he had this idea for a long time, but it was only because the country needed him that he was allowed to have it.
The emperor heard his idea, rewarded him handsomely, and agreed with his statement.
However, General Hua still recommended several people to the emperor. They were all his subordinates, who had followed him through thick and thin. Without them, he would not have achieved what he had today.
Although he didn't want to stay in the imperial court, he felt that these talented people shouldn't be overlooked, so he recommended them to the emperor.
Ye Chenzhou knew they were all men of high caliber, so he elevated their status accordingly.
Ye Chenzhou looked at General Hua, who was holding his grandson and preparing to leave, and handed him another imperial edict, which conferred upon him the title of Duke Protector of the Nation, and that he could return at any time if he wished.
General Hua looked at the emperor before him, his eyes slightly reddening, yet he felt a pang of guilt.
No one knows what he dreamed about while he was in a coma. He dreamed that his son went astray for a woman and even betrayed his country.
Although Ye Chenzhou's thoughts were hard to fathom, he was ultimately a good emperor. The people had lived well during his years in power, and Ye Chenzhou greatly admired this young emperor.
But in her dream... her own son plotted a rebellion.
The dream felt so real, as if it had actually happened, that I subconsciously felt guilty when I saw the emperor.
Moreover, he always felt that the things in his dreams had really happened. He even wondered if Wan Ge had also had the same dream, which was why she married His Majesty in this life.
Otherwise, given her personality, she would have acted as she dreamt, instead of so readily annuling the engagement and marrying someone else.
