Chapter 259: Good Boy Nian Nian
At night, after both brothers fell asleep, Nian Nian talked to her a lot.
She said, Mother, my brothers and I love you very much.
She said, Mother, you can only trust yourself, don’t trust anyone else easily.
She also said, Mother, if you have the chance, you should choose your own life.
Yun Qiao didn't ask anything, but she knew everything.
This child really worries about her.
She didn't say anything, just nodded in response. Nian Nian lay in her arms, muttering to herself as she fell asleep.
How could Yun Qiao not know that Chen Jingyan was suspicious of her, and not just a little bit. Maybe he loved her and favored her, but these suspicions and doubts could coexist.
This is human nature.
Nian Nian really cares about her, but Yun Qiao wants to protect her and help her grow up healthily.
She may not have grown up in her past lives, but this time, Yun Qiao wanted to watch her grow up.
The child cares about her, how could she bear to abandon the child and only care about herself?
***
While Yun Qiao was taking care of the baby at night and busy with the Mobei trade during the day, Chen Jingyan had a falling out with Meng Liang, the general defending Nancheng, in Nancheng.
Meng Liang committed suicide by drinking poison.
After Yun Qiao learned the news, what she was most worried about was Chen Jingyan. Before Chen Jingyan came back or said a word from him, Wang Dechang brought a group of soldiers and broke into the Mobei Palace.
"Deputy General Wang, what do you mean by this? Do you want to raid the Mobei Palace? Do you even take me, the princess, seriously?"
"In reply to the princess, I have received an order from the emperor to bring Prince Mobei back to the capital to meet him."
Wang Dechang acted as if he was doing things impartially.
This is to use the imperial edict of Emperor Showa to force people.
"The prince is still out there trying to gather information about the enemy's situation, but you're doing these little tricks behind his back. If you hadn't informed His Majesty first, how would His Majesty have known that the prince was not in Mobei?"
Yun Qiao directly expressed what Wang Dechang was thinking.
Wang Dechang was certain that Chen Jingyan was collaborating with the enemy.
He was not afraid after hearing Yun Qiao's words. "If the princess wants to maintain her dignity, please do not interfere in the affairs of Prince Mobei."
"Just tell me where the Prince of Mobei is now. I will personally bring him back to the capital to report."
When he returns to Kyoto, his mission will be completed.
Looking at such foolish monarch and ministers, Yun Qiao really wanted Chen Jingyan to just ignore everything and let the country be destroyed.
Wang Dechang now has the order from Emperor Showa to take Chen Jingyan back to Kyoto.
Emperor Showa must have known that General Meng Liang, the defender of Nancheng, committed suicide because he was forced to do so by Chen Jingyan.
Yun Qiao didn't know the real situation over there, and now these were just guesses.
"I don't know. If you have the ability, go find it yourself."
Wang Dechang sent people to search the palace first to confirm that Chen Jingyan had not returned. Wang Dechang deliberately came to the Mobei Palace just to confirm whether Chen Jingyan was hiding in the palace.
Confirm that Chen Jingyan is not in the Mobei Palace.
Wang Dechang immediately led people to Nancheng with the purpose of capturing Chen Jingyan.
As soon as Wang Dechang left, Yun Qiao called Wuying over.
"You must go to Nancheng now and tell the Marquis that Emperor Zhaohe wants to take him to the capital before Wang Dechang leaves."
"Your Highness, your safety..."
Yun Qiao said, "As long as I am still Princess Huayang, His Majesty will not dare to touch me easily. Now the urgent matter is, how is the Marquis doing in South City?"
"Go ahead and don't worry about me."
If Yun Qiao wasn't worried about her three children at home, she would have wanted to go there by herself.
But her driving speed is definitely not as fast as Wuying's.
Wuying took the order and immediately set off for South City.
Seeing Yun Qiao's anxiety, Nian Nian stepped forward and grabbed her hand, "Mom, don't worry, Daddy will be fine, but he might be injured."
Yun Qiao looked at Nian Nian and reached out to smooth her hair.
"Nian Nian, can you predict a lot of things?"
Nian Nian thought her mother wanted to know, so she immediately nodded and said, "Okay, as long as mother wants it, I will do it."
But if she presume to speculate on the divine will, she will be punished by heaven.
In mild cases, it may cause vomiting of blood and shortened lifespan; in severe cases, it may lead to premature death.
But she doesn't look forward to what she will be like when she grows up, because she has never grown up anyway.
Yun Qiao held the child's hand and said softly, "Mother doesn't need to sacrifice you to know these things in advance. Some things happen, and we have to find ways to solve and deal with them. If we know what will happen in advance and make predictions, we can't predict everything, right?"
"That's not how life is."
"If I get it, I'm lucky. If I don't, it's my fate. When you encounter a problem, you should solve it. That's the only way to live a good life, isn't it?"
Nian Nian didn't understand, but she understood that her mother didn't want to use her, nor did she think of using her.
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand. I don't ask for much. I just hope that you grow up safely and healthily. I watch you grow from a cradle into a beautiful young woman. You will have your own life."
Nian Nian has experienced some things, but they were all during her childhood. Her thoughts and mentality as an adult are still very childish.
