The mistress is not a cannon fodder, the cold prince falls in love with her every night

In the palace, the elderly Emperor Jingde looked at the memorial in front of him and sighed deeply.

"Pei Heng...is he still not able to do it?"

Shun Dajian, who was serving beside him, wiped his tears with the corner of his clothes and said:

"Your Majesty, General Pei has endured for three years. Now that he is gone, he can finally be free."

Emperor Jingde was speechless.

Three years ago, when Beimang attacked the border, if it weren't for Pei Heng, the Great Qi Dynasty would have been devastated. He was not an ungrateful emperor, and he remembered Pei Heng's contributions over the years.

Whenever he thought of it, he would ask someone to send some rewards to the Marquis' Mansion as a token of encouragement and comfort.

However, the memorial from Marquis Jinyuan stated that Pei Heng knew that his time was running out, so he voluntarily gave up the title and gave the qualification to his half-brother.

Humph! What the hell is that?

If he hadn't acted on his own and tried to launch a sneak attack behind enemy lines, would the battle on the border have been so brutal?

Pei Heng wouldn't have ended up like this!

"Your Majesty, this memorial...?"

Shun Dajian is old and has gray hair. He has served the emperor all his life.

Looking at Emperor Jingde's expression, you can tell what he is thinking.

"I really don't want to approve this memorial! But, but this is Pei Heng's dying wish. Well, let's take a look!"

Emperor Jingde threw the memorial aside.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Wen is here."

The palace maid reported outside.

"pass!"

Concubine Wen was in her early forties and was in excellent condition. Her palace attire made her look elegant and graceful, and if you looked closely, her features bore some resemblance to the Marquis's wife.

"Your Majesty, I heard that my eldest nephew is not well?"

Concubine Wen had a worried look on her face and asked about Pei Heng's situation as soon as she came in.

Pei Heng is the child of her eldest sister from her mother's family.

Back then, there were three beautiful girls in the Wen family. The eldest sister married into the Jinyuan Marquis Mansion, and she entered the palace.

After the eldest sister died, the youngest sister married into the Jinyuan Marquis Mansion as a second wife and is now the Marquis's wife.

Since childhood, she and her younger sister had always been closer. She had long heard about the affairs of the Marquis's mansion from his wife. Now, she was just here to inquire about the news of Pei Yan's succession to the title.

Emperor Jingde saw that she was filled with sorrow and said with heartache:

"My beloved, please be more open-minded. Pei Heng has suffered so much, it would be a relief if he were to leave."

Concubine Wen wiped her tears and choked up:

"Your Majesty is right. My poor nephew has been treated by the imperial physicians for three years, but there has been no improvement. Now, now he is actually going to pass away. Your Majesty!"

Concubine Wen cried and threw herself into Emperor Jingde's arms.

Emperor Jingde patted her shoulder lovingly.

After crying for a while, Concubine Wen raised her head with tears in her eyes and said:

"Your Majesty, I beg your permission to allow Doctor Zheng to take another look. If you can delay the treatment for a while, it will be a token of my gratitude."

My younger sister wrote to me, saying that Pei Heng's new wife had surrounded Qingshan Courtyard so tightly that no one could get in, and no one knew what was going on inside.

She just didn't believe it. Could it be that the imperial physician sent by the emperor himself couldn't get in?

In addition, she has selfish motives.

Someone had to confirm whether Pei Heng was truly dying. If he wasn't, the imperial physician would have to intervene and send him on his way.

Only when he died could she feel completely at peace.

Emperor Jingde nodded with satisfaction.

"My beloved concubine is kind. Let's ask Doctor Zheng to go."

He also wanted to see what happened to Pei Heng.

If it can still be cured, no matter how hard it is, it must be cured. The Great Qi Dynasty cannot afford to lose this brave and capable general!

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After thinking for a while, Concubine Wen said:

"I heard from my sister that Yan'er has made a lot of progress recently and is working hard at home. Your Majesty,"

Concubine Wen cautiously tested

"It's been three years since the incident. We can't keep punishing him. The Marquis's Mansion needs a successor. Even if we don't let him return to the Ministry of War, this matter of inheriting the title..."

"Humph! Has he grown up? I heard it all. He abandoned his bride on the wedding day and ran off with someone else. He may have grown up, but the children outside are already grown up! Poor Marquis Yong'an's daughter, being humiliated by him like this! The Chamber of Commerce's Marquis Yong'an came to the palace, and he shed tears in front of me many times!"

Although Emperor Jingde was old, he had sharp eyes and ears and was not so easily fooled.

Concubine Wen choked and smiled awkwardly.

"Your Majesty is right. Young Ai Mu and Yan Er are full of vigor and vitality, which is the true nature of men!"

"Humph! You said everything!"

"emperor!"

Seeing that Emperor Jingde refused to budge, Concubine Wen became anxious.

"My sister is also very worried. She's beaten and scolded him, but in the end, he and the daughter of the Marquis of Yong'an are not destined to be together. If someone with more powerful means could have controlled him."

Emperor Jingde understood the elegant meaning of the music and asked:

"Which girl have you taken a fancy to now?"

"Song Ci, the daughter of the Zhenbei Marquis family."

"Song Ci?"

"Yes. I heard that Miss Song is a man of both civil and military talents. She has been learning martial arts from the Marquis of Zhenbei since she was young and has mastered some excellent skills. She has an extremely tough personality, and a girl like her is just the right one to tame Yan'er!"

Concubine Wen squinted her eyes and glanced at Emperor Jingde. Seeing him nod, she felt happy.

"Song Qing is loyal to the emperor and patriotic, which is indeed true. I have met his little daughter once, and she is so innocent and lovely. Song Qing is also very troubled by her marriage. If this can be accomplished, it would be great."

Concubine Wen clapped her hands and said happily:

"So the Emperor agrees?"

Seeing her girlish smile, Emperor Jingde also smiled and said:

"You, you're always worried."

"Your Majesty, I am happy to worry about this. Only when my family is harmonious and prosperous can I serve you wholeheartedly. This is also to share your worries."

Emperor Jingde tapped Concubine Wen's nose.

They are an old couple, but they still have a good relationship.

As soon as Concubine Wen left, Emperor Jingde asked Eunuch Shun:

"I heard that after Pei Yan jilted the Marquis of Yong'an's daughter, she volunteered to marry Pei Heng?"

Supervisor Shun said:

"Yes! I heard she even said in front of all the guests that General Pei was injured for the country and was a great hero. She would take care of the hero for the people of Daqi for the rest of her life without any complaints."

As Shun Dajian spoke, his back straightened up.

Such a woman is truly amazing!

It’s a pity that I wasn’t there, otherwise I would have cheered for her!

"That's right! Marquis Yong'an has raised a good daughter!"

Emperor Jingde thought for a moment and said:

"Pei Heng has devoted his life to serving his country. Now that he is on his deathbed, I really have nothing to offer him to compensate him. It would be better to confer upon his wife the title of First Rank Imperial Edict. This will serve as a reward for her righteous act and also as a source of support for her in the future."

"As for Pei Yan... what a bastard! The Marquis of Yong'an's wife didn't break his legs, which was a good thing for him! Inheriting the title? Wait a little longer!"

Shun Dajian nodded repeatedly and echoed:

"Your Majesty!"
