Zhu Xianyue is not even considered a concubine.
Even if she became a concubine, it would not be her turn to attend such a banquet.
For the sake of the lives of hundreds of people in the Lu family, Mrs. Lu attended the banquet despite her illness.
Fortunately, the emperor still had some rationality.
He knew that the only person the Yan Dynasty could rely on now was General Lu Chengyuan, the Weibei General.
Therefore, it didn't cause much trouble to Madam Lu.
Concubine Chang said a few words in dissatisfaction about the small number of Lu family members, and then stopped talking.
At the flower viewing banquet, the emperor and Concubine Chang announced a good news -
Concubine Chang is already three months pregnant and the fetus is stable. The dynasty will have a successor!
The emperor stroked Concubine Chang's less pronounced belly with a loving look on his face.
This is his child with his beloved.
Regardless of gender, they will become the future masters of the Yan Dynasty.
Concubine Chang is one year older than him.
The imperial physician said that if Concubine Chang got pregnant again after giving birth to this child, it would shorten her lifespan.
He couldn't bear to part with Concubine Chang.
If it is a girl, she will be made the Crown Princess; if it is a boy, he will definitely be the Crown Prince of the Sun Dynasty.
…
It was a tiring journey.
Moreover, Madam Lu had plans for Lu Chengyuan in her mind.
Coupled with the regretful looks from others, Mrs. Lu felt even more upset.
God is so blind!
No one in the country knows me, so why should I miss my old capital?
Old Madam Lu, who was sitting in the sedan chair, shed a hot tear.
So what if they have been loyal for generations?
So what if I’m famous for all time?
With such a foolish monarch, the Lu family is just a dog!
There will be no good ending!
If time could go back, she would rather the Lu family be disloyal to the emperor and serve the country.
Even if Lu Chengyuan won the war by chance, the Lu family would still be in great trouble if Concubine Chang frowned.
Loyalty is useless.
But... I'm afraid there won't be such an opportunity anymore.
…
On New Year’s Eve, families reunite.
However, Mrs. Lu fell ill and could not get up.
She was holding on to her last breath just to welcome Lu Chengyuan's body.
But news came from the front line that Lu Chengyuan's army encountered an avalanche!
How can any egg remain intact under heavy snow?
Not to mention being wrapped in horsehide, it is a luxury for Lu Chengyuan to have a complete body!
She couldn't even wait to see her grandson's body!
Mrs. Lu fainted again.
The general's mansion was in chaos.
Nanny Liu handed the housekeeper's pair of cards to Zhu Xianyue.
"This was ordered by the old lady...when she was still conscious."
"She said you're someone she can trust. If she ever can't hold on any longer, she'll let you decide the fate of the hundreds of people in the General's Mansion."
Zhu Xianyue took the pair of cards with trembling hands.
"Mammy... take care of yourself too."
Nanny Liu has served Madam Lu all her life and has long regarded Madam Lu as her closest relative.
Madam Lu's sudden fall made Aunt Liu's hair turn completely white.
If Madam Lu...can't survive the first day of the new year...Madam Liu will definitely die for her master.
The general's mansion, who had truly devoted his life to the country, was filled with sadness.
However, the emperor of the Han Dynasty celebrated New Year's Eve in a grand manner.
There were even reports that the emperor wanted to surrender.
He could hand over everyone, including his own imperial power.
But Concubine Chang must stay by his side.
The silver used for the grand celebration was all exploited from the people.
The heavy taxes and levies meant that there was no laughter or joy in the entire dynasty except in the imperial palace!
"Mammy, I want to go see the old lady."
"Um."
When Mrs. Lu was awake, she rarely saw Zhu Xianyue.
I was afraid that I would think of Lu Chengyuan when I saw her.
Now, Madam Lu... doesn't know if she can survive the night.
Let Zhu Xianyue continue to fulfill her filial duties.
This is also the last chance.
