I was given the contraceptive soup and became the emperor's white moonlight

"Your Majesty, I am old now, and my grandson is young and ignorant. I want to take him to the border to gain some experience." Lord Jiang looked at his little grandson lovingly, but his expression was vague, as if he was looking through him at something else.

"The Jiang family has practiced martial arts for generations. When I was young, I followed my grandfather to the battlefield. At that time, I served as a vanguard for the late emperor!" Lord Jiang's eyebrows curved as if he remembered a good time. "The late emperor led us old guys to fight in the south and the north. What about the Tatars and the Huns? Who dared not to bow down to him?"

"By the time of your majesty's generation, the war will be over." Lord Jiang touched his grandson's head, and the little kid raised his head and looked at him with his tender eyes. "When I see Hao'er, I will think of my son. There are many brothers and sisters in the family, but that brat just dotes on his sister. After all, they are blood relatives, and no one can give up!"

"Lord Jiang is now in his prime, how can you say he is old?" Xiao Heng paused, and said with a complicated expression: "I have not forgotten what Brother Lin said before, and I will not easily change the promise I made."

Lord Jiang shook his head upon hearing this. "Your Majesty, that is all in the past. The dead are gone, and the living must look forward. I have fought too many battles in my life, and I am used to the rain and snow at the border. I have been back in Beijing for two days of peace, but my legs and arms are not strong anymore."

"If you ask me, this kid should be sent out for some training. I don't ask for him to have great abilities, but I just hope he doesn't die early like his father..."

Xiao Heng's expression also turned bitter, especially when he saw the child who looked like his father, "Come on, Hao'er, Uncle Huang will take you to eat something delicious, okay?"

Jiang Hao's eyes widened instantly, and he looked eager to try, but when he turned around and looked at his grandfather, he was instantly deflated, "Thank you, Uncle Emperor, Hao'er is not hungry." After saying that, he looked at Lord Jiang with disappointment on his face.

Lord Jiang touched his cheek lovingly and said, "Go ahead, go if you want to, don't be afraid."

"Come, Hao'er, uncle will ask your sister to take you there, okay?" Xiao Heng waved his hand and immediately a palace maid came out with a smile on her face and walked towards Jiang Hao.

"Master Xiao Jiang, can I take you there?"

When he saw it was a girl, Jiang Hao quickly let down his guard. He glanced at his grandfather and saw that he really didn't stop him before he shook the hand that the palace maid extended.

Seeing Jiang Hao walking away, Xiao Heng said with a sad face: "Brother Lin died because of me. I swore to take good care of his relatives. Lord Jiang rejected my offer to confer a title of nobility on Hao'er. Now he wants to take Hao'er away from me?"

"Brother Lin's kindness to me..."

"Your Majesty!" Lord Jiang looked sad, his hands hanging by his side trembling slightly, "Lin'er is my subject, Your Majesty is my master, it is an honor for me to die for you, it is the glory of our Jiang family!"

"Your Majesty has already done all that is right for the Jiang family!"

"Hao'er has never been very smart since he was young. Others can memorize poems and lyrics after reciting them twice, but it takes him two whole days."

"Allow me to say something disrespectful, Your Majesty! Enough members of my Jiang family have died! I don't allow him to practice martial arts because I don't want him to go to the battlefield again in the future. But the more I forbid him, the more he practices. If he can't remember it once, he will practice it twice. If he can't remember it twice, he will practice it three times. He often practices until he is exhausted, with bruises all over his body."

"I know that this is just a common occurrence for martial artists, but I don't want him to achieve anything great. I just want him to live well."

"Your Majesty!" Lord Jiang shook his head slowly, "That is the last seedling of the Jiang family."

"The Jiang family is going to be extinct!"

"I won't let this happen!" Xiao Heng said with a firm look, "I can guarantee that I will never let Hao'er go to the battlefield!"

"Master Jiang, uncle!" Xiao Heng held his hand tightly and said, "I was raised by my uncle. Don't you think my uncle still trusts me?"

"When the battle on the border was victorious, my uncle led his troops back to the court. I immediately granted you military power and let you take charge of the defense of the capital."

"With my uncle by my side these years, I can sleep well at night."

"I have brought the military token today and will return it to Your Majesty along with my sash." Lord Jiang had a firm look on his face and was not at all moved by Xiao Heng's attempt to keep him.

Hearing the word "military token", Xiao Heng's pupils shrank unconsciously, but he still refused: "Uncle handed the military token to me today, but you are blaming me!"

"Your Majesty! This is my only grandson. I am really powerless and would like to have him. I just want to enjoy the happiness of having a wife and live out the rest of my life."

"You're leaving, but what about Concubine Li? She's your daughter. Can you really bear to let her go like this and never have any contact with her again?"

Xiao Heng was a little panicked. When he handed over those powers to others, he also gave away responsibilities. Now that the real power he longed for was within his reach, he was afraid.

He was afraid that after these powers really fell into his hands, he would not do as well as his ancestors did, and then the world would only scold him for his incompetence.

"Concubine Li..." Lord Jiang's eyes flashed with a trace of pity, but looking at his grandson who was laughing heartlessly, he finally clenched his teeth and said, "Concubine Li has His Majesty by her side, so I am naturally relieved. A woman should follow her husband after marriage, not to mention that it is her honor to be a concubine by His Majesty's side."

"Your Majesty is surrounded by talented people, and there are countless people who can replace me. I just want to return to that familiar place."

"Mr. Jiang..." Xiao Heng hesitated to speak. He was reluctant to give up the military power that was in front of him, but he also didn't want to lose these right-hand men he was used to.

"Your Majesty, Lin'er is still waiting for me there!"

Hearing him mention Jiang Lin again, Xiao Heng frowned in annoyance, but he couldn't say anything to comfort him. "Forget it, since Lord Jiang has made up his mind, anything I say is false. I will just follow my uncle's wish."

A memory that was deeply hidden in Xiao Heng's mind emerged before his eyes. The wind and sand rolled past, and the sharp sand and stones cut his hair and skin like a sharp blade, but he knelt on the ground as if he was unaware of the pain.

There was conspicuous blood on the silver-white armor on his body, but the person in his arms was still smiling brightly.

"Your Highness..." The man slowly opened his cracked lips, and his hoarse voice tightly entangled Xiao Heng's heart, "Please take good care of me for me..."

"Brother Lin?" Panic instantly appeared on Xiao Heng's still young face, but the smiling eyes of the man in front of him had already closed.

"Brother Lin!"

"Lin'er!"

A piece of white cloth was covered on the familiar face. The bloodstains on Xiao Heng's body had not been wiped clean yet. The sharp arrow that should have hit him was blocked by the person lying quietly.

Xiao Heng repeated his name in his mind over and over again.
