Quick Wear: Crazy Female Supporting Role She is Bai Yueguang
Chapter 199: Fake Gold, She is Peerless (31)
Prince Nannan did not hide anything and spoke frankly.
"Your Majesty, do you still remember that I had a daughter who died young? My wife left Chang'an because of this. Does Your Majesty have any recollection of this?"
Prince Nan'an asked with a sad face.
Emperor Wen of Zhou frowned slightly, lost in thought. He did have some recollection of this incident; back then, the emperor's sister-in-law was so heartbroken over the loss of her beloved daughter that she nearly lost her life.
But, Brother Wang suddenly brought up this matter at this time. Is there any hidden secret behind it?
"Of course I remember this." Emperor Wen of Zhou replied slowly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Prince Nan'an fell to his knees with a thud and said in a firm tone: "Your Majesty, after going through countless hardships, I finally found my long-lost daughter!"
Emperor Wen of Zhou was shocked. He looked at Prince Nan'an anxiously and asked, "Oh? Brother, please tell me quickly. Where is this woman now?"
Prince Nan'an took a deep breath and continued, "She is none other than the now-famous eldest daughter of the Xue family—Xue Lingqing. Furthermore, after careful identification, I have determined that the jade pendant she wears is the very token I gave to Lin'er back then. Furthermore, her appearance and temperament are identical to those of my wife in her youth. I implore Your Majesty to allow us to recognize each other as father and daughter!"
When Emperor Wen of Zhou heard this, he pondered in his heart. He had also heard a little about the Xue family's affairs.
I didn't expect that fate would play such a trick on me. After many twists and turns, the girl from the Xue family turned out to be the biological daughter of King Nannan. It was really fate!
However, a subtle hint of relief flashed across Emperor Wen's eyes. Fortunately, it was just a daughter. If it was a son, it would probably cause more trouble.
Thinking of this, his eyes became deeper, but he didn't say another word.
"Prince Nan'an requested an imperial decree on behalf of his daughter, so of course I must help him. This imperial decree will be delivered to the Xue Mansion in half a month. You can rest assured. But I am a little confused as to why you don't plan to let your daughter recognize her ancestral roots?"
The emperor asked with a puzzled look.
Prince Nan'an shook his head gently and said slowly, "The Xue family has been so kind to my daughter, especially the old lady. She treats you like her own granddaughter. If I forcibly take my daughter back to the palace now, it will not only hurt the Xue family, but I will also be branded as ungrateful. Moreover, doing so will inevitably give others a handle to use to make a big fuss. I hope Your Majesty can understand my difficulties."
Emperor Wen of Zhou felt a wave of emotion when he heard these words. He secretly admired the loyalty and loyalty of the Prince of Nannan, but at the same time he also understood the stakes involved.
So, after a moment of silence, he nodded to show his understanding.
After all, the Prince of Nannan had always been stubborn. Once he made up his mind, no matter how hard he tried, he would not change it. Emperor Wen of Zhou was well aware of this and naturally stopped trying to persuade him.
"Well, since you have made up your mind, then let's do as you wish."
Emperor Wen of Zhou spoke slowly, indicating his agreement with the King of Nan'an's request. He then took out a glittering golden token from his waist, handed it to the King of Nan'an, and said earnestly:
"My Royal Brother, it's a shame to exchange your merits for the title of a princess! However, I have always remembered your contributions to the court over the years. This golden medal of immunity from death is well-deserved, so please do not refuse it."
Prince Nan'an burst into tears of gratitude and quickly knelt to thank the emperor for his great grace. After rising, he carefully took the golden medal of immunity from death, which symbolized supreme honor, and held it tightly in his hand before turning and leaving.
However, unexpectedly, just as Prince Nan'an stepped out of the imperial study, shocking news suddenly reached the emperor -
"Your Majesty, a serious situation has occurred! A refugee uprising has broken out in Jizhou. Local officials have colluded with bandits, ambushing and attacking General Xie's troops. They also used gunpowder to reduce the entire barracks to rubble. General Xie's whereabouts remain unknown, and I'm afraid his fate is uncertain!"
This sudden and tragic news shocked Emperor Wen of Zhou. His eyes widened in disbelief. For a moment, the atmosphere in the imperial study was extremely tense, and everyone fell silent...
Prince Nan'an's expression changed slightly, and he turned around and returned to the imperial study.
If Xie Chengyin is in danger, wouldn’t it be his beloved who will be left as a widow?
He thought that Xie Chengyin was always resourceful and nothing would happen to him, so something must have gone wrong.
He felt a strong sense of uneasiness in his heart, and when he saw Emperor Wen of Zhou's solemn expression, he quickly volunteered.
"Your Majesty, Jizhou's geographical location is crucial, a battleground for military strategists. If it falls into the hands of bandits, it will not only damage the reputation of our dynasty, but may also cause unrest on the border and endanger the safety of the people! I implore Your Majesty to grant me the right to lead the army to fight and protect Jizhou! If Xie Chengyin is still alive, I will do my utmost to search for him and bring him safely back to the capital."
Emperor Wen of Zhou was originally anxious, but when he heard the sincere and righteous words of King Nannan, he couldn't help feeling relieved, and his anxious heart gradually settled down.
He knew very well that Prince Nannan was both wise and brave, and was by no means an ordinary person. This time he gave him the power to lead the army because he believed that he must have extraordinary qualities.
A country's territory and people always need brave and fearless people to stand up and protect them at the risk of their lives.
Emperor Wen of Zhou was well aware of the talents of the Prince of Nannan and understood his abilities. That was why he dared to give him full trust and let him have a try.
"Very well! Since you are so determined, I will allow you to lead the troops to battle. I hope you will be victorious and achieve success immediately! But remember to take care of yourself and return safely, and do not cause me and the ministers to worry."
Emperor Wen of Zhou looked at Prince Nannan with a firm gaze and spoke earnestly.
